After a little research i found 100's if not 1,000's…

The latch to open the car from the inside has broken for the fourth time. At first i thought it was the child protection switch but when i checked it was unlocked. I have sent it to the dealer three times and although they fix it (in a couple of days) i believe it is unsafe in the event of a fire or accident. *jb
