Expect they will get to the bottom of it eventually, in the meantime a pain for you. You are being provided with free replacement transportation? Bare with them or as for a new car. I've heard it happens on occasion.

The inside door handle will mechanically unlock the door when pulled a second time, no electronics involved.

So... FUD?

When there is a failure you should be able to get the error codes. Without them it's difficult to say much. My best guess would be something related to the 12v battery.

Did you try the mechanical key in the fob? I don't know, maybe that just activates the electric locks.

If this post #1 is on the level it sounds like a 12v battery failure and some incompetence on the part of the dealer and new owner.

There's no key slot on the inside of the door...

No, no there is not. There is a door handle inside that seems to mechanically unlock with one pull and open with another pull.

There is a key slot on the outside, which is where I assumed the OP was.
