TOYOTA RECALLING 26,000 SCION FRS CARS 2013-201616
 
http://www.autonews.com/article/2016...-s-sports-cars

"Toyota said in a statement that some vehicles’ automatic transmission key interlocks might not have been connected before sale. That can cause a key to be removed even if the gear position is not in “park,” increasing the risk of rollaways and crashes."

Edit: Here's the DIY http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=101284.

I know the key used to fall out when my parents drove our old Grand Cherokee (1993). Years from now when the keys are more worn I'd be scared too if it came out when driving.

Sorry. Thought something like this would go into the "General Forum", where more people are likely to see it.

Remove thread if necessary.

Would you buy a TV and refuse to use the remote control? What about your computer, would you rather use a command prompt to do everything, or would you rather a GUI? Would you rather manually crank your car, or have the starter motor do it? AED or CPR?

Take a hike and realize whether AT or MT, all it is, is a personal choice, and nothing else. Not a "should be" or "better", just a choice.
