Was locked inside 1990 toyota camry, about 250 degrees or more. All door handles failed. Moonroof would not open. Had to kick out the driver's side window to escape. Toyota, if you don't think these are defective cars, you must be from an alien planet. Please, police department told me I survived a death trap...seems like a class action lawsuit is the only answer.
Dear sir, I have a 1990 toyota camry and the driver side lock doesn't lock or unlock. I have been experiencing this since march of 2005. The lock doesn't work manually also I.e. Inserting a key from outside trying to open the door doesn't open it. This has been a lot of discomfort coming in and out of the car as I need to use the passenger side door. I have seen on the NHTSA website that there was a recall notice for the same defect that I have been experiencing for the past one year with my car.
