New Passat door lock troubles

[Tom Nas <tnas@euronet.nl>]

Hi all,

My mechanic friend told me recently of the troubles they're having with new
Passats- apparently, the door locks jam and refuse to open unless you
destroy the mechanism. It's apparently part plastic, part metal and doesn't
look too solid. There was even one instance where they had to destroy the
door panels to get at the lock.
Still no news about recall operations.

Tom
