GOT OUT OF VEHICLE TO CHECK MY MAIL W/2 KIDS, 22 MONTHS & 6 MONTHS IN CAR. IGNITION & EMERGENCY BRAKE LEFT ON. CAME BACK TO CAR, PULLED DOOR HANDLE TO OPEN DOORS, AND AUTOMATIC POWER LOCKS CLICKED AND LOCKED DOORS WHEN I LIFTED THE HANDLE TO OPEN DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. KIDS WERE LOCKED IN UNHEATED RUNNING CAR FOR OVER 1 HOUR. POLICE CALLED, TOW SERVICE GOT CAR OPEN. DOORS SHOULD 1) NOT LOCK WHEN SIMPLY PULLING ON DOOR HANDLE TO OPEN DOOR & 2) SHOULD NOT LOCK WITH KEY IN IGNITION. YOUNGER CHILD SLEPT THROUGH INCIDENT, BUT OLDER CHILD WAS VERY SCARED AND DISTRAUGHT. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER HAD THE CAR BEEN IN A GARAGE (I.E. CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING).*AK
