“My 8 month old baby was auto- locked in the car on an 80 degree sunny day! I double clicked the unlock button on my car's key fob on approach, opened the rear passenger side door and put my child in the car seat and put my purse (keys on top) in the floor with the diaper bag. Entire car still unlocked, I closed the rear passenger door and walked around to the driver's side to get in. The car beeped aloud before I could grab the door handle to get in, locking all doors of the vehicle. …”
NHTSA complaint #10535855, filed 2013-08, 115,251 miles“After I had my new 2007 RAV4 for about half year, I experienced sudden lockup, felt couldn't go even 10 meters with smoking. My driving speed was about 20-30kmh, just out of garage about 200 meters,and my neighbor saw the smoke as well. He jumped into my car, and checked if I was using emergency brake, no, I wasn't using that. I called country hill Toyota, calgary, alberta, and they towed my RAV4 away. Next day, they told me that they found nothing, the car was ok. I also called ama(alberta motor association), get nothing.”
