I tried it going less than 15 MPH and nothing happened either.

Very curious about this one since this button is located close to the PWR/ECT switch, which I use occasionally while driving.

When the car is stil rolling, even very slow, nothing happens.

I suppose it only works when the car is in neutral (goes to ACC mode) or when its in park (shuts the car off)

What did you guys expect. Really.

Did you think Toyota would manufacture the car with such an obvious lapse in safety and just letting you turn the engine off with the press of a button at high speeds?

Come on guys, use your heads. Wait, I have one!

What if you turn the stereo up all the way? Will all the speakers blow?

LOL. I keep picturing a Lexus commercial where they have a bunch of monkeys riding around in cars hitting buttons. Cue the narrator with, "At Lexus, we go the extra mile to protect you from yourself...because we know that even idiots have family with money."
