I was locked inside this vehicle and unable to get out. I ended up smashing the window after 45 minutes and crawling out of the vehicle. The door locks were "energized" and holding the lock levers down. Mechanic is unable to understand what happened and the lock solenoids are still in this same situation. The lock arms have been disconnected.
