2007 Toyota RAV4 review from North America
"Annoying locks. I do not need features designed for others stupidity"
General comments?
I absolutely hate the features on Toyota vehicles that does not allow you to lock your vehicle while a door is open.
The car doesn’t let me lock the doors with the remote if any one of the doors is open. And it blares an annoying sound at me for pressing the lock on the remote.
I am someone who doesn’t have enough hands to carry everything out of my car while juggling the keys in my hand. So I always lock the door with the remote and put my keys back in my purse and then collect my belongings and shut the door.
It is beyond annoying that I have to fish the keys back out of my purse everytime. I can't even pull groceries out of the back of my car and leave the keys inside, because I have to come back to lock the stupid door!!!
I don’t understand why the feature exists when there is no possible way to lock my keys in my car (which is why I suspect it was designed) when I am pressing the button the remote and a door is open.
It is the dumbest feature of all time. The worst part is that Toyota can't even remove it for this very annoyed customer.
