When remote starting the vehicle. The vehicle allows you to put the vehicle in gear from inside and turn off the parking brake allowing the vehicle to roll freely. The vehicle does shut off 1-2 seconds after but the vehicle is already in gear. To reproduce the defect you must remote start the vehicle using either the Toyota app or smart key fob. You then must be sitting in the vehicle once the vehicle is started you quickly depress the brake pedal shift into gear and turn off the parking brake quickly. The vehicle then shuts off while in gear allowing the vehicle to roll freely. This increases the risk of accident as the driver may not be in the vehicle and a child or other person may accidentally put the vehicle in gear while remote started. I believe this issue affects many other Toyota and Lexus vehicles as many share the same platforms and systems. You may contact me at my email address listed for more information or a video recording of the defect. Thanks.
