Wow, sounds like a serious security issue!!

Sounds like the lock is not functioning at all. Definately should get a dealer to look at it.

My guess is you need to have the door latch mechanism replaced. This would be covered by factory warranty or an extended service contract.

Wow, was this recent or was it like that when you bought it? It could be that someone has tried to break into it, and succeded.

The actuator for the door lock is inside the latch mechanism, so it could have just recently broke or possible it was always that way. Are you still under warranty?

I dont know about anyone else, but I try to open the door and find it locked almost every day. Early senility I guess.
