S i am new to the vehicle and the vehicle is new to me, i am still fumbling for the correct switch, knob, etc. This morning, tuesday, while driving at about 10 mph, i needed to raise the rear window sunshade. I reached down to the left and around the steering wheel and activated a switch. Instead of the rear sunshade switch, i inadvertently activated the trunk release and then the gas tank door release. Both the trunk opened and the gas tank door opened while the vehicle was in motion (the transmission was in drive of course). To me this is a major safety hazard, not to mention an annoyance. Are these switches functioning properly, that is are they designed to permit activation when the vehicle is in gear? Other vehicles that i have owned or rented lock these mechanisms from opening the trunk lid release when the vehicle is not in neutral or park. Took 2007 toyota avalon operate in the same safe manner as i indicate for other vehicles , such as lock out the switches unless the vehicle is in park or neutral?*ak
