FORT LAUDERDALE (CN – A woman blames Toyota for the death of his daughter by carbon monoxide poisoning, because its smart key system is still running his Lexus in silence, without a key in the ignition of Toyota faced a similar lawsuit in New York last October .. Nickles Kimberlin sued Toyota and dealer auto JM Lexus, the Broward County Court. also sued premium Marbella Apartments, where his daughter, for lack of a ventilation system security. Nickles said that his daughter, Chasity Glisson, parked his Lexus in the garage under the house and accidentally let it go. She says Glisson "inadvertently forgot to turn off the motor vehicle or object pushed the start / stop recording in an effort to do so, but was unsuccessful." "Presumably, after leaving the vehicle, causing plaintiff, Chasity Glisson, did not realize that the subject vehicle was running when he came home with the key. To the best knowledge and belief, Toyota motor vehicle designs subject model to be almost silent and smooth, and therefore plaintiff died, Chasity Glisson, could not hear the engine idling as she exited the vehicle and went into his house the key. "Nickles said the family and friends, concerned about not knowing Glisson and his partner, Tim Maddock co-plaintiff. He alerted the police who entered the apartment the next night to find Glisson" without pulse or breath "and Maddock "Unable to speak or move. "Glisson died from carbon monoxide poisoning, and Maddock suffered debilitating injuries. Nickles says that" new technologies, such as Toyota key electronic system requires a change in the behavior of basic consumer and deep. For example, consumers who use the electronic key system no longer have to turn the key and remove the ignition. This can lead to predictable errors such as accidentally leaving the vehicle running after exiting the car.      »In addition, this keyless ignition technology permits an operator to inadvertently remove the key fob from the vehicle while the vehicle is still running.»     Toyota’s Smart Key technology uses a computerized keyless device to send signals to an antenna inside the vehicle to start the car.      Nickles says, «the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration has received multiple complaints from consumers that have exited their cars with the key fob on their person and mistakenly left the vehicle’s engine running.»     A woman in Queens, N.Y. , filed a similar lawsuit in October 2010, claiming her partner was killed and she was permanently injured in the same scenario.     Nickles adds: «Because the ‘Smart Key’ technology is a convenience feature and, in general, new technology that permits an operator to remove the key fob from the vehicle while the vehicle is running, it creates certain safety risks that did not exist with the traditional key technology, including the risk of carbon monoxide gas being emitted from the vehicle while the driver, along with the key, are no longer in the vehicle. «     She says Toyota ignored these «foreseeable risks» and failed «to install an automatic shut-off or shut-down switch in the event a consumer inadvertently leaves the vehicle running with the key fob on their person.»     She seeks damages for wrongful death, negligence and product liability. She is represented by Robert Kelley with Kelley Uustal.  <img width="16" height="16" border="0" src="http://www.courthousenews.com/document.
