NHTSA Complaint #10724987 — 2010 CHEVROLET CORVETTE

I BECAME TRAPPED INSIDE THIS LATE MODEL CORVETTE. I OPENED, ENTERED, SAT IN AND SIMPLY CLOSED THE UNLOCKED DRIVERS DOOR OF THIS CAR LOCATED IN THE FOR SALE SECTION OF THE CARMAX STORE IN WAUKESHA WI. THE DOORS LOCKED APPROXIMATELY 1 MINUTE AFTER ENTRY. ALL ATTEMPTS TO UNLOCK VIA THE UNLOCKING DOOR SWITCH AND INTERIOR DOOR LOCK STEM AT INTERIOR DOOR SILL FAILED TO UNLOCK AND GRANT EXIT. A FEMALE STORE VISITOR FLAGGED A FEMALE SALES ASSOCIATE 5 MINUTES LATER TO UNLOCK THE VEHICLE AND OPEN THE DOOR. OXYGEN LEVELS DECREASED RAPIDLY IN ITS WINDOWS UP/DOORS CLOSED CONFIGURATION. I WAS IN A NEAR PANIC STATE. I WAS FORTUNATE TEMPERATURES WERE IN THE 60'S AND CLOUD COVER WAS HIGH. I FEARED FOR MY SAFETY AND BELIEVE FATAL CONSEQUENCE CAN EASILY RESULT FROM THIS ENGINEERING DEFECT.
