NHTSA Complaint #746539 — 2001 TOYOTA CAMRY

I PURCHASED A 2001 CAMRY LE (NEW) AND THE DOME LIGHT DOES NOT WORK THE WAY THE MANUAL SAYS IT SHOULD. I HAVE POWER DOOR LOCKS AND KEYLESS ENTRY- WHEN I USE MY KEYLESS ENTRY MY DOME LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON THE WAY MY MANUAL STATES IT SHOULD. AND WHEN I FIRST CLOSE MY DOOR THE DOME LIGHT DOES NOT STAY ON FOR THE 15 SECONDS LIKE THE MANUAL SAYS IT SHOULD. THIS IS VERY VERY UNSAFE FOR A PERSON TO GET INTO THIS CAR AFTER DARK!!!! IF SOMEONE WAS HIDING IN THE CAR THEY WOULD HAVE ALL THE ADVANTAGES - IF I USE MY KEYLESS ENTRY FROM 10 FEET AWAY AND MY LIGHT DOESN'T COME I CAN'T TELL SOMEONE WOULD BE IN THE CAR BUT, IN REALITY I HAVE JUST SIGNALED TO THAT PERSON THAT I'M ON MY WAY TO THE CAR, SO GET READY TO JUMP OUT AT ME. THEY'RE READY AND I WOULDN'T BE!!!!!!!! SOUNDS EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO ME. HOW DOES TOYOTA JUSTIFY TAKING "AWAY" SAFETY FEATURES. IS THAT WHAT HAPPENES WHEN WE GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO DO BUSINESS IN AMERICA?*AK
