@Spart said that the problem happened to him before he started using Bimmercode, and others have used Bimmercode without the problem happening. If I were debugging this, I'd want to look at the code and parameters for the version of the ECU that Bimmercode affects and diff it against the code of...

I suspect that in my case, it's some sort of bizarre bug in my ECU. I don't see why auto start/stop and the electronic brake should be related, and the brake glitch does not happen when I'm in Sport mode or when I turn auto start/stop off in Normal mode. It only happens when I've coded it out...

Well, it looks like I may have a fix for mine. I had completely forgotten that I used Bimmercode to permanently disable the engine auto on/off feature. Today, Toyota engineers flew in, spent a few hours with my car, discovered the change, reverted it back to stock, and no more unexpected parking...

Hill assist keeps pressure in the main braking system when the car is on an incline. The parking brake doesn't engage when that system is active. If it did for some reason, it would be very audible. That's one of the nice things about the parking brake in this car, I guess, the actuators are loud.

Parking in gear when you're done driving is a given, and this has nothing to do with hill assist. The scenario where this comes into play is when you stop, set the parking brake, and take your foot off the brake while leaving it in neutral and the engine going. Like, if you're hopping into a...

From what I understand, the number of people who have made a NHTSA report is only a tiny fraction of the people who have complained on the internet about it. They'd love to push Toyota on fixing it because it is a legitimate safety issue, but without more reports, that's not happening. So, to...

I've had it happen to me on a cold start, no throttle or brake action. Have also had it to me after the car was running for a while. When I replicated it for the tech, I made sure to keep my right foot away from the throttle and brake, and the car had been sitting for a little while. I thought...

A couple of months ago, I managed to replicate this problem with a Toyota mechanic sitting next to me. Toyota engineers had the dealer replace the clutch release cylinder and send the old one to them for investigation. This didn't solve the problem, but at least it got the ball rolling on an...
