My wife recently took a test drive of an '07 Fusion AWD. She really liked the car. The one thing that bothered her was the auto-locking of the doors after you get in. She has this phobia of getting in an accident or some other situation and then not being able to get the kids out of the back seat. She asked the the salesperson if this is something that can be disabled, but he didn't know. Does anyone know if this is something that can be disabled? I guess I'm also curious as to what the purpose of this feature is to begin with? Thanks in advance for any info. |

Also if the door is locked it might be less likely to fly open in an accident, although that was something that mostly happened with those thumb button handles of the 70s Is your wife saying that she is going to drive around without looking the doors? That seems more unsafe to me. Mark.

And she wants to drive around with her kids in her unlocked car also? http://louisville.edu/admin/dps/safety/carjacking.htm |
