Default Toyota keys (why do they lock themselves in the car?)

They don't lock themselves in the car.Â* The driver who is too dumb
to remove the key from the ignition locks the keys in the car.

My husband's Toyota works just like your friend's Corolla.Â* He has
never locked the keys in the car.

Â*Â*Â*Â*Â* Is it too soon to blame the locked cars on the people who can't
live five minutes without their phone?Â*Â* Can'tÂ* phones unlock cars yet?


Â*Â*Â*Â*Â* I got curious so did a quick search.Â*Â* It looks like a couple
people have had this
problem.

IMO, a good reason to NOT buy a Toyota unless it can be disabled. I
prefer to decide when my car is locked or not.

The pro thief will get into your car in seconds, locked or not. The
amateur will cause damage trying to get into it. I rarely lock my car.
It was broken into twice and one time I lost a quart of oil laying in
the back seat. The locked cars around me had broken windows, pry marks
and scratches.

Friend of mine had her car locked and alarmed. It was parked right
outside her office window when it was stolen in broad daylight.
