I accidentally pressed my push to start button twice

[Benjilis]

Last night I pushed my start button to start the car and an officer was right next to me. The car went to 1k rpm and I quickly pressed it again to turn it off so my car wouldn’t pop next to them.

at this moment I thought “shiiiiit” since I have a 2020.

Once the officer left, I started the car back up and I did some hard breaking. For 30 minutes. No issues.
this morning I also tested the break booster, no issues….

it could just be the polak in me having a tough time trusting the Germans. But I still think this issues is bullshit.
Unless what I did was still safe and not what creates the issue.

The Polish only need to fear the Germans in September.

Is your exhaust that loud that you wouldn't want to start it right next to the po-po? Apparently so ...!

But I wouldn't categorize your experience with the recall definition since the car had time to start and rev up to 1000 rpm. You then hit it again to shut it down. This is not a quick push-push that would cause the break system to malfunction, IMO.

I mean on a normal start it goes to 3k rpm then goes down to 1k. I hit it off before it got to 3k

I hope you have a solid last will and testament, my brother.

Why why why why would you think the NHTSA proceeded with a recall here if it was "bullshit." That's such a goofy thing to think. This recall is going to cost Toyota/BMW a fortune and can have a serious effect on stock price (as recalls usually do).

I see the cognitive dissonance displayed throughout the past year and a half has extended to vehicle recalls now.

I don’t think he is saying that it’s bullshit (as in there is no issue), but that it’s bullshit this is an issue in the first place (which it is). Technology is so advanced in these cars now that something as simple as accidentally or intentionally pushing a button 2xs in quick succession can become a dangerous situation… that is in my definition as well, bullshit.

Edit: He does seem to point to it being bullshit in general (as though it’s not an issue). So ignore what I said. I still feel that it’s dumb that this issue. This should have been tested thoroughly before it hit the market considering it deals with safety and braking (2 of the major components of the car).

Agree that it's bullshit in your definition of bullshit. What's needed here is some smart debouncing. http://www.labbookpages.co.uk/electronics/debounce.html, which is either implemented and doesn't work, or isn't implement at all (big oof).

pushing a button 2xs in quick succession

Don't say it again! It's like Beetlejuice appearing but instead all of our cars will go up in flames in unison.

I also felt the need to post after you two to confuse people with Nocturnal rear end avatars. I thought zurak was quoting himself for a minute and was lost.

Agreed. This would definitely help with erroneous presses. It amazes me that the tech is already on the market for cheap and we still use dated products to power/control sophisticated hardware (I could be wrong on the switch design currently used in the Supra but was unable to find any solid documents detailing the wiring/function other than push and it starts, push and it turns off, push 3 times to go into diagnostic mode, and push 2 times to die).
