NHTSA Complaint #11219624 — 2008 LEXUS LS460

I PUT MY 2 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR SEAT, STRAPPED HER IN, PUT MY BAG (WITH THE KEY FOB) ON THE BACKSEAT AND AFTER VISUALLY CONFIRMING THAT THE DRIVERS DOOR IS UNLOCKED CLOSED THE BACK DOOR WITH MY CHILD INSIDE. IN THE TIME IT TOOK ME TO WALK AROUND THE CAR TO THE DRIVER'S SEAT ALL FOUR DOORS SOMEHOW LOCKED DOWN. WITH BOTH THE KEY FOB AND MY CHILD INSIDE THE CAR; IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SUMMER IN TEXAS. LEXUS IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE A SAFE LOCK FEATURE THAT PREVENTS THE CAR LOCKING WHILE KEYS ARE INSIDE BUT THIS CLEARLY FAILED. LUCKILY WE WERE PARKED IN A GARAGE AND MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO COME IN 20 MIN WITH THE SPARE KEY; OTHERWISE TIT WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE.
