Consumer Description

MY SUV STARTS ITSELF WITHOUT ANYONE OR THE KEY FOB BEING ANYWHERE NEAR THE VEHICLE. IT HAS DONE THIS AT LEAST 9 TIMES AND HAPPENS ANYWHERE AND AT ANY TIME OF DAY OR NIGHT. IT IS TOO DANGEROUS TO PARK IN MY GARAGE SO I LEAVE IT OUTSIDE ALL THE TIME. TOYOTA FACTORY NOR DEALER HAVE OFFERED ANY SUGGESTIONS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I WANT IT RECALLED OR BOUGHT BACK. IT IS UNSAFE TO HAVE A CAR THAT DOES THIS. CAR HAS DONE THIS SINCE NOV 2009 THAT I HAVE NOTICED. *TR
