“For the second time in a month, my car lost drive while I was cruising on the highway. The car just popped into netural with warning messages coming on the dash.

Could you please help Toyota into pushing a fix for it asap as the car isn't really safe. 3 months wait to make a software patch is pathetic.”

Not sure if mandatory by regulation, door locks don't auto lock after car starts to roll forward. Backup screen, just as you start to back up and, on the roll. The screen blocks out the top 1/3. It connects and tells you, your blue tooth items are connected or not. That message should be delayed until after being in reverse. …”
