Description of the problem	When i use the automatic lock opener and unlock the front driver's side door or click twice to unlock all doors in the vehicle, within a minute, automatically locks all doors again. Knowing that i could easily get locked out, i called a toyota salesperson to ask why it was happening or what i could do to fix it. He didn't know and suggested bringing the vehicle in for service. Out of town this past saturday evening, i was loading the back of my vehicle and set my keys down inside. When i heard the clicking noise of all the locks locking, i reminded myself to get the vehicle in for service. A moment later, i received a phone call, and distracted, shut the back door. Even though i had unlocked all doors moments ago, the vehicle automatically re-locked all doors even with the back door open. I called toyota's roadside assistance. To my surprise, i was told that lockouts are not a covered service. I took my vehicle in for service august 7th. At first, the service advisor agreed that the locks should not be working the way they are and said that he would get the problem fixed. After waiting two hours, he said that the locks are working correctly, and the way they were designed to work. This is a safety issue. For example, when i was locked out, i was close to having put a two year old in the vehicle with the temperature near 100 degrees. The only time i want the locks to lock automatically is after i've started the vehicle and am driving. This is not a safety feature included with the rav 4. I was not satisfied with the dealer response, and i would like this problem resolved. If the locks truly are designed to lock automatically within 30 seconds to one minute, whether a door is open or not, i would like toyota to provide an explanation of the benefit of this design. (i don? T know why anyone would want this feature.) thanks for your assistance.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
