THIS may answer the question...!
Saw on bloomberg tv, that there are issues with turning off the TOYOTA and other cars with the PUSH BUTTON ignition.
While back there was a story about a cop that got killed with his family in a lexus that he had 'borrowed'. The engine went wild and he hit an suv at 100 or so mph.
Turns out that there are others that have had a problem with the wild motor in other cars and that people DO NOT KNOW HOW TO STOP THE CAR WHILE ITS DRIVING ON THE ROAD>
Seems that you have to push the start button AND HOLD IT IN FOR 3 SECONDS to turn off the motor. This will get more press and probably some sort of standardization to make it universal in its operation.
FYI, thought that you all might want some back up data on this strange event, Woody
WEEKEND is here again, and we dont have snow forcast till till tillll Monday, oh goodie.................
Woody again.
