What NHTSA recorded

The double-lock feature can engage with occupants and the door/ignition key inside the vehicle.

Possible consequence

The occupants of the vehicle would be unable to exit either from the doors or from the windows of the vehicle. Drive-away protection would prevent the engine from starting.
