I HAVE A 2000 CHRYSLER 300M. AT 15MPH, THE DOORS LOCK AUTOMATICALLY. THAT IS NORMAL. HOWEVER, LAST MONTH, THE LOCKS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE LOCK AND CANNOT BE OPENED BY THE PASSENGER. IF THE DRIVER WERE INJURED IN AN ACCIDENT, THERE WOULD BE NO WAY FOR THE PASSENGER TO GET OUT OF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR. - Apr 10, 2005 · 115,000 miles · fireSeat belts › Rear/other
