Hold on, I'll be back and see what I can find in my minivan to sue.





Ok, got it. I'll start a class action suit b/c I got a lot guys approaching me and saying they've never seen a Sienna SE before. It's making me nervous and almost scary, invasion of privacy, fearing for my life, my wife, my children, and all of my passengers.........I'm getting post traumatic stress, nightmare , waahhhh, wahhhhh, wahhhh

Bunch of retards wanting to sue for anything.

Just hang up the keys and walk or bike then if you're too dumb to shut off the engine after you get out of the car

The cars are quiet but they are still clearly audible when idling in a garage. I think the nature of the law suits are a joke but could also be from many of the geriatric drivers who own these cars and probably have bad hearing.

How would this be any different than a Lexus with a key?

Our Lexus LX470 was so quiet we sometime never knew the engine was running, we would try to re-crank the engine and the ignition would stop the attempt.

This really has nothing to do with push button start.

Two words: Personal accountability.

What has this country come to??? Should I sue the knife company because I cut my finger? People need to own their stupidity and not blame everyone else.

BS law suit. This is a sad fact about our legal system. For God's sake we have a group of lawyers who are suing their law schools because they can't find work. As my dad used to say, " only in America ". lol

That's almost like saying that I forgot to take the (physical) key out of the ignition and left it running. It is therefore Toyota's fault for not having a person detector or auto-shut off after a period of time.

What a bunch of crap
