In any case, the Weather Network seems like a better source for this story:

A car isn't sealed and the oxygen content of air does not vary significantly in terms of temperature.
Agree with the heat stroke as a possibility. How do you lock your keys in a modern car though. If the keys are in it you just push the button on the door to open it.
