| Description of the problem | Tl*the contact owns a 2008 toyota camry. The contact stated that the vehicle had keyless entry, which posed as a safety issue because the engine shut off while the vehicle was still in gear.

The owner's manual stated that the engine would not turn off unless the vehicle was in park; however, that was not the case. She also stated that she had forgotten to place the car in park several times before due to the on/off button for the engine. As a result, the vehicle has rolled away from the driveway on more than one occasion. The failure mileage was approximately 40 and current mileage was 1,300. Updated 09/10/08.*lj the consumer stated the engine did not shut off while in gear, but the vehicle can be tuned off while in gear, which could cause the vehicle to roll. Updated 09/11/08.*jb |
