The fact that hitting the lock/unlock switch with doors open can cause misalignment and malfunction is a collossal pain in the butt. Since our cars are the only ones that I've seen that work that way, I can't help but wonder, "WHY?" And isn't there a car out there with door latches that would be more user friendly, if adapted to fit? I've been on the DML for maybe 6 or 7 years and I don't recall anyone ever discussing this. Hasn't anyone ever tried it? Of course I realize that we use 2 latches instead of one, but that's an inside the door issue, not a latch issue per se. Don't other cars use link rods too, in some fashion? Wayne A.
