Owner complaint summary

The vehicle allows the engine to be turned off, key removed, while the vehicle is still in drive with no warning lights or sounds. I have tested and the vehicle can roll away. Complained to the toyota dealership and they said the service tech consulted with toyota headquarters and determined no fix was possible because this is normal function of the the vehicle. However, this is a concerning safety hazard because the vehicle can roll. But also, is against the standards. Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 114, Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention, mandates that vehicles with an automatic transmission and a "park" position must have a key-locking system that prevents key removal unless the transmission is locked in "park" or becomes locked in "park" as a direct result of removing the key.

This is an owner complaint filed with NHTSA (ODI #11651845). It is not automatically an official recall, investigation outcome, or manufacturer admission unless the complaint text itself describes one.
