MY 2010 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT IS EQUIPPED WITH A KEYLESS ENTRY AND PUSH BUTTON START. WHILE THE KEY IS INSIDE THE VEHICLE, AS A SAFETY FEATURE, THE VEHICLE CAN NOT BE LOCKED FROM THE OUTSIDE AT ALL TIMES. HOWEVER, THIS SAFETY FEATURE MALFUNCTIONED TODAY LEAVING MY 2 YEAR OLD SON LOCKED ON THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WITH MY CAR KEY ON THE INSIDE. THIS HAPPENED WHEN I PLACED MY SON INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND MY PURSE(WITH MY CAR KEY INSIDE) AND HAVE TO GO TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FOR MY 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. UPON OPENING THE DOOR, IT WAS LOCKED. ALL DOORS WERE LOCKED WHILE MY KEY IS INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND THERE IS NO WAY THAT THE DOORS CAN BE LOCKED FROM THE OUTSIDE WHILE THE KEY IS INSIDE. I HAVE TO CALL 911 SINCE MY 2 YEAR OLD SON WAS LOCKED INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND THE WINDOWS ARE ALL SHUT UNDER A 90 DEGREE WEATHER. THANKFULLY A FIREFIGHTER WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR LOCK WITH HIS SPECIAL EQUIPMENT. *TR
