So if you have an old person or a disabled person stuck you are proposing they do the same ?

I agree with your comments mostly but don’t agree they were generous, and I don’t mean that from a financial compensation point of view…

Tbh like I said in other comments, with the holiday period I doubt they would’ve come with in 15-20 mins which was my window

Sure dude, when you are locked inside a car that probably was around 45-50 degrees then we will talk what’s weird

Highly unlikely that the road side assist may have been quicker considering it was during the holiday season, wasn’t going to risk it

That was what I assumed too, which was the case in every car I owned until I learnt about this deadlock feature

Yes there’s a latch to pull behind a plastic cover but like I said in other comments in a real emergency these may not be that handy

Assburg on Locked inside my Alfa Romeo on a 38 Degree hot afternoon– Service Manager downplaying the incident

I never in my wildest dreams thought I would lock myself in my sisters car on a hot 38 degree afternoon with a flat battery.

try2bhelpful on Locked inside my Alfa Romeo on a 38 Degree hot afternoon– Service Manager downplaying the incident

Not blaming the battery, lack of manual override options to unlock quickly is what I am concerned with. Even opening the plastic latch for…

Think thats what the guy at the dealership said, sounds like a useless feature.

Other cars have this feature too
