The doors freeze, remain latched in place from the outside. The interior door handle on the same door remains operational.   This makes it difficult to get into the vehicle to remove people from inside the car should dangerous conditions be present while they are unable to operate the interior handle themselves and/or its difficult to enter the vehicle for safety should dangerous conditions be present outside the vehicle.  The doors are jammed, we cant get to you!! There are reports of this happening to all four doors.   The dealership says the exterior door handle must be replaced for the door to open from the outside again and it is uncertain if the replacement handle has the defect corrected or not. The latch freeze could occur again, anytime unless the replacement is improved. My vehicle had only 8500 miles on it and the exterior handle failed on the front drivers side. How many times will this condition repeat itself without warning during the lifetime of the car. CadillacForum has discussion on the matter including how some with the problem are disassembling the part and \u201crepairing\u201d the handle defect from the inside.   This unnecessary risk could develop into an event that contributed to injuries. A reliable part must be installed asap though many cannot afford the $480 expense to replace it at the dealership.  I had a 2000 Cadillac CTS for 20 years and didn\u2019t have a problem with doors locking up from the outside - door handles not responding to efforts to open the door with a correct and operational key fob present.
