Start/Stop Button works flawless. Depending on the car you have to press it for 3 seconds or you have to hit it several times while the engine is running. Of course it does not cut off the engine with a single short hit, because you might hit the button accidentially while driving.

Honda has a recall now so maybe this will take some of the negative attention off of Toyota.

Yeah, I don't know what happened to the post about the Yaris owner who took his 09 to a Honda dealer only to be told that the trade-in value for all Toyota's dropped because of the recall (which is pure BS), but I wanted the poster to take this report about the Honda recall of 646,000 cars and ask him how much his Honda Fits are worth now!
Toyota's voluntary recall is a precautionary measure, cars are not crashing all over the place because of it. As a matter of fact, Toyota provides insight into the indicators that should alert the driver of a possible problem: Quote:

If people knew how to use their brake pedal, neutral, or even that key thing that turns the engine off, neither of these issues would matter that much.

OK I will say this again.... All manufacturers have recalls!!!!!!!!!! It's the nature of the game. Toyota's are so big because they sell more cars thats the fact. Lets go back a few years... toyota again frame rotting on tacomas... most all bought back from 1995-2000 and starting another round on the 2000-2004 soon. toyota definatly took care of their customers in that one... about the same time.... Jeep grand cherokee's heater seat elements were catching on fire... chrysler replaced them, also ball joints on durangos/dakotas... replaced them also... ford/firestone.. we all remember the problem there... two fold... tire defects in one plant, and ford putting the wrong reccomendations on the door stickers for inflation and load rating.... ok.... Honda... complete dashboards on their minivans due to fire risk, GM can't think off hand but I'm sure there are good ones out there.... Everybody has recalls, these were just examlpes off the top of my head. and once the public has gotten over it life will be normal again and toyota will have a proper fix and be selling cars again.... lets be honost it is good to know if your car is recalled, but there tends to be a mob effect and everybody thinks there is a bigger problem then there is.... Don't get me wrong.... My yaris is sitting at the dealer as we speak, it does have a surging issue at around 20 mph and gets stuck at wide open throttle six times already.. not part of the recall I know about and they can't find out whats wrong but atleast the service manager knows there is a problem (we went for a long test ride and the throttle stuck) with under 2300 miles on the car. Am I mad? no.... I am confident that it will eventually be fixed... Like I said in the begining it is the nature of the business. You can't find every glitch and with hundreds of thousands of cars/trucks on the road more problems are bound to arise. As a precaution toyota is pulling all the cars which I think is safer then some other manufacturers that wouldn't think about doing this... just my 2 cents.......

saw something interesting today! i take a shortcut on my way to/from work that cuts thru a little-used section of our airport(long story short- our terminal was moved from one end to the other and now the old part is a large 'wasteland'). anyways, as i was driving thru the area where all the rental cars used to be kept i noticed a virtual 'sea' of new camrys parked. they were all brand-new and you could tell someone had made it a point to keep them in a place out of site. wondering if the dealers are 'hiding' the recalled models or if they are just staging them there till they can be worked on? nothing has been parked in these lots for at least a year(as long as i've been taking this route)!
