Description of the problem	On 5-27-2013, i experienced a terrifying incident with my toyota avalon. I stopped the vehicle, and left the engine running to keep the a/c going for our dog, while i assisted my wife from the back seat. I pressed the door unlock feature to open all the door locks. When i exited from the driver side i closed that door. When my wife existed from the rear driver side i closed that door and then went to the rear passenger door to get my dog. In that short period of time, all of the doors had automatically locked, trapping my dog in the car. I am very concerned that this might happen when a child is in the vehicle. In my case i was fortunate enough to have my son drive me to my home to get my spare key and return to open the vehicle. The response from toyota to this complaint was to take the vehicle to a dealer, but they offered no explanation or reason for this event.
