WE HAVE BEEN LOCKED IN AND OR OUT OF OUR MOTOR HOME SEVERAL TIMES. AT OUR AGE, WE CANNOT GET OUT OF THE WINDOWS SO WE HAVE COMPLETELY DISABLED THE SYSTEM. WE HAVE TAKEN ALL THE BATTERIES OUT OF THE FOBS AND USE THE DEAD BOLT LOCK TO LOCK OUR VEHICLE BECAUSE WE ARE AFRAID OF AGAIN BEING LOCKED IN. WHAT WERE TO HAPPEN IF WE WERE LOCKED IN AND A FIRE BROKE OUT IN OUR COACH? THIS IS SURELY A SAFETY ISSUE!

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
