“Haleigh is my 3 year old daughter, and we bought this car on 5/31, we had people at our house on 6/1 for a party so kids were in and out all day. Haleigh went in my car being curious, the doors all shut, and she could not open the doors because all 4 door handles are solid metal and were so hot that they burned her hand and she could not get out. When I found her she was almost passed out from the 125 degrees that it was in the car, and had to go to the emergency room. No life threatening injuries occurred, but could have easily since she could not get out of the car. …”
