Baby locked in Bay Area family's Cadillac EV after sudden 'faulty battery' shuts car down [View all]
ANTIOCH, Calif. (KGO) -- 7 On Your Side investigated an apparent safety hazard with a Cadillac EV that left a young infant trapped in the car -- and the parents scrambling to get their baby out.
It was a chaotic Sunday morning for this Antioch family.
What they thought would be a typical ride to church turned into 30 minutes of chaos.
It was January fourth, and Lacey Gunn was en route to Sunday service. The mom of two tried taking her girls in the grandparents' Cadillac Lyriq EV.
"That's the best car that we have to transport our precious cargo," said Erika Tinoco, the children's grandmother.
"The car automatically unlocked. Everything was fine. She put our infant, baby Lyla, inside, strapped her in and closed the door," Tinoco said.

The baby is fine. They were able to get her out after 30 minutes. (That could be fatal in AZ heat)
Still, something to keep in mind.
