Consumer Description

TOYOTA HAS LONG IGNORED SAFETY IN FAVOR OF SHOW. OUR 1999 CAMRY HAS A KEY FOB WITH THREE BUTTONS, ONLY ONE WORKING. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE 'SECURITY' SYSTEM (1) KEEPS THE ENGINE FROM STARTING AND, (2) MORE OMINOUSLY, LOCKS US OUT OF THE CAR. MY DAUGHTER, WITH HER BABY, STARTED THE CAR, STEPPED OUT TO LET IT COOL IN THE PHOENIX SUMMER, AND WAS LOCKED OUT. FORTUNATELY, I WAS CLOSE AND, FORTUNATELY, SHE TOOK HER BABY OUT WITH HER. OVER THE YEARS, I'VE ASKED TOYOTA TO FIX ITS SECURITY MESS. NOTHING BUT MILD APOLOGIES. THIS ENDANGERMENT HAS PLAGUED ME AND MY FAMILY FOR 10 YEARS. TOYOTA'S RECKLESSNESS AND ALOOFNESS SHOULD BE PUNISHED SEVERELY AND THE COMPANY MUST BEGIN TO PRODUCE NOTHING BUT RELIABLE CARS THAT DON'T ENDANGER ITS CUSTOMERS. *JB
