Report: Keyless start systems blamed for CO-related fatalities

According to WMGT Channel 41 of Georgia, automakers are facing
increasing scrutiny regarding the safety of their keyless start systems.
According to the NBC affiliate, there are at least three carbon-dioxide
related deaths - one in New York, and a pair in Florida - that are being
blamed on the technology.
In one case, the family of a Whitestone, New York man is suing Toyota
for his wrongful death. According to an older report from the New York
Daily News, the family alleges that on February 27, 2009, Mary Rivera
parked her Lexus in the attached garage of the home she shared with
Ernest Codelia Jr. and accidentally left the engine running. The next
day, Codelia was found dead in his bed of carbon monoxide poisoning
while Rivera was discovered unconscious on the bedroom floor. She
survived the incident, but suffers from brain damage as a result.
Codelia's family is alleging that that the keyless ignition system on
the Lexus is to blame for the tragedy and that Toyota should have
installed a shutdown switch to kill the engine if the vehicle is
unoccupied or unmoved after a certain period of time. The lawsuit says
that the keyless ignition system violates federal safety standards
because owners can leave the vehicle running even with the key fob in
their pocket.
It is at this point that we must note that in our experience, Toyota's
keyless ignition mechanism operates in essentially the same manner as
every other system used by other automakers, and that cars equipped with
the technology are programmed to deliver both audible and visual
warnings if the driver attempts to leave the car without first shutting
off the engine.
Rivera, meanwhile, has no recollection of leaving the car running,
presumably because the engine is so quiet. The family's lawyer says that
she "somehow feels responsible" for the tragedy. Thanks for the tip,
Jon! | l**********l
