WHILE PARKED, OUR MAIN DOOR WOULD NOT UNLOCK AND OPEN. MY WIFE AND ANOTHER PERSON WERE INSIDE AND OTHERS OUTSIDE. IT TOOK THE PEOPLE ON THE OUTSIDE PUSHING ON THE DOOR TO PERMIT THE LOCK TO BE RELEASED. THE LOCK IN QUESTION IS THE ONE THAT CAN BE OPENED-LOCKED USING A KEY FOB. NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TRYING TO UNLOCK-LOCK-UNLOCK THE DOOR. IT TOOK A NUMBER OF MINUTES OF PUSHING ON THE DOOR TO GET THE LOCK TO RELEASE. IN ANOTHER INCIDENT, I WAS INSIDE THE COACH WHEN THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN DUE TO THE LOCK NOT RELEASING. I PUSHED ON THE DOOR A NUMBER OF TIMES AND ALSO ATTEMPTED TO MANUALLY RELEASE THE LOCK TO NO AVAIL, AT LEAST FOR A FEW MINUTES. IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, THIS DELAY COULD BE DEADLY. THERE ARE LIMITED OTHER OPTIONS FOR EXITING THE COACH AND ALL WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT FOR MY WIFE DUE TO HER MEDICAL CONDITIONS AND NOT TOO EASY FOR ME EITHER. DATE PROVIDED IS FOR THE FIRST INCIDENT MENTIONED. *TT *TR

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
