NHTSA Complaint #10658734 — 2014 TOYOTA COROLLA

VEHICLE DOORS WOULD NOT UNLOCK AFTER PUMPING GAS AT STATION. VEHICLE WAS NOT STARTED AT THE TIME AND KEYS WERE IN CAR (KEY-LESS SYSTEM WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK DOORS WHEN KEYS ARE IN VEHICLE). AFTER ATTEMPTING TO OPEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WITHOUT SUCCESS, THE PASSENGER DOOR DID THE SAME. AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF WAITING THE PASSENGER DOOR FINALLY UNLOCKED. THE VEHICLE STARTED HOWEVER, THERE WAS A SMELL OF GASOLINE COMING FROM THE VENTS. THE AIR CONDITIONER ALSO STOPPED WORKING. WHEN THE BUTTON FOR VENTING OUTSIDE/INSIDE WAS SWITCH TO OUTSIDE AIR, THE GASOLINE SMELL DISSIPATED. WHEN I PRESSED INSIDE AIR THE STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE OCCURRED AGAIN. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES, THE AIR CONDITIONER BEGAN TO WORK AND SHORTLY THERE AFTER THE SMELL OF GASOLINE RESOLVED. AFTER A FEW HOURS THE HEADACHE FROM GASOLINE INHALATION WENT AWAY. *TR
