There is an emergency release for it. Do you have your manual with you?

Default Pretty sure the emergency release is in the passenger side>>>

rear lite panel...open it up and you should see the handle/cord.

In a roadster I believe it's in the lockable cubby hole behind the passenger seat.

Default I FIXED THE PROBLEM WOOHOOO!!!!

apparently people have had similar problems so i did a search. it was a computer problem. to fix the problem you get out of the car. close the doors. with the remote, lock the doors then unlock. then go in the car and leave the door open. turn on the engine then turn it off. THEN PRESS THE BUTTON AND BAAAAAAMMMM problem solved!
