STUCK AT A LIGHT BUSY INTERSECTION COULDN'T GET THE CAR OUT OF PARK TO PUT IN NEUTRAL. LET EVERYONE KNOW THERE'S A RELEASE BUTTON NEAR THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER THAT THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER SHOWED ME. THIS IS THE THIRD BATTERY I'M REPLACING I PURCHASED IT IN 2007 FROM TOYOTA 2ND OWNER WITH 26,000 MILES ON IT.

This is ridiculous, all of my dashboard lights will come on at the same time, and during that time the speedometer will stop working. I also have issues with heater changing to air conditioner in the heart of winter. I can sometimes move the temperature control to air conditioner and then back to heat, but other times it doesn't work. This issue upsets me more when I have my children in the car with me, and its very cold out.

I wish there was a recall on it since I had read several complaints online with the same issues I am having. There has to be a solution
