Official tsb is attached

No one chose a manual because they thought the ignition would be recalled in 2016, but thanks for sharing.

Lol this makes me laugh.

You make me laugh. :clap:

Haha yup. Too tired from work to think before typing. :word:

Why thank you kind sir.

Good thing we didn't get autos.. I mean I don't want to be able to take the key out. Oh, what about the fine gentlemen who didn't buy base models? The ones with the keyless. Theirs keys have never been in the ignition.

Gotta go spend my Saturday at the dealership now. Wanted to sleep in too. :mad0260:

because drivers can take the keys out of the ignition without the car being in park.



LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
For all of the 50s and 60s and part of the early 70s the ability to take the keys out of the ignition while the car was running was a premium feature!!!!!! You paid more for the car to have the ability to do exactly that and it didn't matter what gear it was in.

You see that A RECALL! - This car has horrible reliability. /s

Lol GLWT!

Ya no wonder Scion went out of business. There goes the resale value right down the tubes.

Duh that's why I bought the brz :)

When Scion is basically dead that's when the recalls start kicking in lol

Good luck with... trade?

I do want to take an FJ cruiser out for a spin. They had a couple on the lot when I went in for an oil change.

Queue Pac-man dying soundfx

With
That

Subarus clearly improve your standing amongst family, friends, and the laaaadddiieeeeies. WTG!

Yup and they even give me the badges to prove it

Wait so I can take my key out and leave the car running? Or is it I can shut my car off and take the key out while in D? I swear I did that once by accident.

Chevy square key ignitions... lol

Push start master race.... oh wait.


That being said..........Why don't ppl just pull their handbrake too? I always wonder why i see so many ppl with auto just never uses their handbrake.
*like 100% of the asian girls I know* knock on wood

Take the key out while in any other gear including park.

Think im going to wait until I get the letter in the mail. The service people might become confused if I try to explain to them whats going on.

Can't find an official TSB, just an announcement on the Toyota site - probably because it was just released. Plus, its just the plug in module, nothing wrong with the transmission its self.

I have attached the official TSB and info I took off techstream, turns out I already fixed mine because I noticed it was unplugged, let's just say I have a good toyota friend who let me use his techstream login.

lol I am not taking my car in for this.... because racecar!!

Good shit, kind sir! Guess its back to spending Saturday at the dealership lol!

Yay, my car falls under this! I'm with @go_a_way1 for once though, DGAF cause I'm not fucking retarded

so, if you remove the key while running and not in park, does that mean the crickets keep going too?

what da....

Dude, just do it yourself. It takes literally 2 minutes.

Literally I put the Service campaign document so you could do it yourself :lol: it's just a little white plug near the dead pedal that's unplugged and should be plugged in.

Thanks, I attached these to the first post.

Just try to take your key out while in drive. If it comes out, go to dealer. If not, don't

I ended up doing it myself after looking at the TSB, like I said, 2 minutes to do.

Its this plug, right?

Right after I posted my last comment, I said screw it and went to check. Also tried to pull my key out as they described it in the TSB. Didn't come out.

Note: This will be a worldwide TOYOTA and Subaru recall not just Scion. Scion didn't make the cars they just sold them.

Even though it doesn't apply to me, I appreciate the update. Thanks.

I am surprised at the low number affected actually. Only 26,000? They must have seprate recalls for around the world since this would not have impacted just the US models I am sure.

Eh. I park mine in N and yank the ebrake. Not gonna take it in

LOL your car has boyscout badges
