You can always open the trunk and have someone small enough crawl through the trunk... as long as they are old enough to know how to unlock the door once inside (just pull on the door handle).
The key should work in the driver's door though... not sure why it won't.
handles may be in good condition but the lever on the latch itself may have came loose. your mostlikley looking at dismantelling the apolsery with the door closed to rectify it.
i had the same probem,[try this] you need 2 remote keys,put 1 key in the drivers door get in the car and close the door put the other key in the ignition press and hold down the open option on the key then turn on the ignition lights [do not start] hold the button for 30 seconds turn off ignition get out of car remove door key and that should solve the problem,pete please let me know if this works]
This is the anti theft function working as it should. Your husband needed to override it with the key. The command told the car to lock down. Because the key was not in the car the anti theft set off the alarm and locked down the engine as well. This is exactly what you would want the car to do if you left it locked on the street with your windows down while shopping. Otherwise someone could reach in the window, unlock the door, slide in and start hot wiring the car. These lock functions are programmable and can be changed at the dealership.
