After two weeks Toyota came back on 10/9 and said I would need to have the dealer run a diagnostic without the aftermarket stuff (Radios connected to the battery) and I would need to pay for it unless it found something. I said I see no value in...
maybe replace the starter relay, it is a simple process, and shouldn't be too expensive. or carry a new one with you and when it does this again replace the relay.
I have a anti-theft device that replaces the starter relay with one that has a...
Thanks for the thought
I did buy a Starter Relay and it is in the glove box now.
I am waiting to see what Toyota will do if anything with the case I opened

Certainly something to think about
If it happens again, first thing is take pictures and videos of everything and anythying I can do to document the condition and ewasy to perform tests
Then try that emergency start that bypasses all the safety...
My faith in Toyota is restored I called the Brand Engagement number and they sent authorization to the dealer to replace the starter and reimburse me for the Neutral Safety Switch and Battery
They said the dealer should have this by Monday and...
Looking for any idea or suggestions on how to get Toyota involved so this can be fixed under warranty
This failure has occurred twice, first in Dec 19, 2025 and again on Sept 23rd 2026. What happens both times after driving someplace for 20...
