Key fails to unlock either trunk or doors on vehicle. Problem is not weather related. It is an intermittent problem. The manufacturer installed a new lock system in the vehicle and the problem was solved.

I was sitting in the car reading, when I pressed the door unlock button on the armrest the door wouldn't unlock. The only way the door could be unlocked was to use the remote key. If a child were locked in the car on a hot day the child wouldn't be able to get out of the car.this car was manufactured in Kentucky.

If vehicle is locked from outside and someone is still inside, the locks will not let the person on the inside to get out. Door has to be opened with key from the outside. Dealer says that's normal.
