They make cars with only one lock now ????

The other night I was leaving the store and a woman asked me if I could help her unlock her car. Unfortunately I couldn't -- *really* outside my area of expertise -- but I was shocked to learn that the driver's door is the ONLY one that opens with a key. Something was wrong with that lock and it wouldn't unlock when she turned the key. With no other doors to try (not even the hatchback) there was nothing she could do.

This was a PT Cruiser -- apparently even if you don't get a remote lock, you still get only one keyed door -- http://www.practicalmachinist.com/vb/general/locked-out-my-p-t-cruiser-234904/

What a stupid way to cut costs.
