Please AVOID This One-BIG SAFETY ISSUE

Why Uhura? The lever can't be reached when the door is closed. You must open the door from the outside, then the lever is exposed on the side of the door. Since I haven't seen every model of every make, I didn't make an absolute statement.

From MDC: How can I be sure? Most, if not all, have a lever on the door to engage/disengage the feature. The last three cars I've had do. My point is that I don't think the door was broken, not that you're vent was unwarranted. I'd definitely not ride with her again considering what she did.

MDc-what you said proved my point: You said "most, if not all, have a lever on the door to engage/disengage the feature." Bingo! If the door was not broken why would she have to roll the window down & tell me to reach outside & open the door (and then go even further & begin to get out of the car herself to open the door for me)?

Good to remind all drivers that you are responsible for your passengers. If there is an accident, the driver would be liable for any injuries suffered by the passengers, even if someone else was at fault. (Check with insurance company over the summer when I started picking up slugs.)

I am going to have to side with Uhura on this one. I quietly disagree with most of Uhura's vents. However, this one is not a vent, but a true safety issue. Too many people carelessly care for their passengers. From the standpoint of personal liability, in the event something tragic were to happen, the guilty party would likely find themselves as an uninsured motorist as the result of a dead or severaly injured passenger. I can't tell you how many times I've had to put up with the child safety lock issue -- it is a pain. Configure one side of your car for slugs and the other for passengers. If essential safety equipment is broken (seat belt): FIX IT!! After enduring an 80 MPH ride from 234 to Pentagon on wet roads in a little rattle trap with bald tires, my nerves are a bit raw.

Make no mistake-it was a vent, my friend.

BTW-I do not think that this was a child safety lock issue. The vehicle is close to "junker" status. The body looks OK, but there are so many things not working on the inside that one has to wonder...

I'm sure the door just had the child safety on so you can't open it from the inside, but other than that........

How can you be "sure" about that?

I mean, can't child safety locks be disengaged with the push of a button? Mine can. + Truthfully, with the condition of this vehicle, I'll wager that it was simply one item on the long list of repairs needed.
