Consumer Description

SAFETY HAZARD!. 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY (LIKELY ALL HYBRID AUTOMOBILES) WILL CONTINUOUSLY RESTART THE GAS ENGINE TO RECHARGE THE BATTERY IF THE IGNITION SYSTEM IS NOT TURNED OFF WHEN DEPARTING THE VEHICLE. IF THE AUTO IS IN AN ATTACHED GARAGE THIS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL CO POISONING TO OCCUPANTS WITHIN THE DWELLING. I HAVE OBSERVED A HYBRID CONTINUOUSLY RESTARTING WHILE PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. THIS CAR IS USUALLY KEPT IN AN ATTACHED GARAGE. THE OWNER FORGOT TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION UPON LEAVING THE CAR. THIS IS LIKELY A COMMON EVENT. THIS WILL EVENTUALLY RESULT IN SERIOUSLY INJURY OR DEATH, AND MAY HAVE ALREADY HAPPENED AND NOT BEEN PROPERLY IDENTIFIED AND REPORTED. I HAD REPORTED THIS SAFETY HAZARD TO THE NTSB IN MID-2009 WITH NO SUBSEQUENT NTSB ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OR FOLLOW-UP. *TR
