UPDATE! Long!!! : HELP!!!! STRANDED!!! 2010 Won't Start after stopping for Gas!!!

ROFL! nice.

I used to do this to my co-workers, when I would offer them a ride. I used to walk over to a vehicle and stand by the driver door and just kill time. But, let them get in first then once they sat down I would walk away. They'd be like wtf.

 

What's up with you, When you post for help no one gives you a stupid answer, but when people post for help you give them a stupid answer.

If the keys was not in the ignition maybe he wouldn't have known about his starting issue. He did say truck won't turn over.

 

PreRunner always says stupid shit.

Let us know what the stealership says.

 

Good luck getting your truck fixed. Let us know what the problem is.

 

What's even funnier(weirder?) is I have taken my wife to department stores in the past in my old 1995 Blazer and have chosen to stay in the car while she runs in to buy something and have had two women on two separate occasions open the passenger door and get in my car. Boy, you should have seen the look on their faces.

 

I just don't understand what could have possibly went wrong. I tried both my regular key and the "grey" key, nothing!!!

It's supposed to be a factory immobilizer, don't think it's aftermarket. Keys maybe, but both????

 

do you have an aftermarket alarm? happened to me before and had to reset the battery b/c some glitch happened w/ my aftermarket alarm. went away after the reset.

 

Pimpin ain't easy.

 

Sounds like the immobilizer to me, had the same problem in a customers tundra...good luck man.

 

Try flipping up that little tab next to your auto-shifter. Inside is a little button, hit that. Check all the fuses in the fuse box under the hood too.

My GF's pug chewed through my brake light wire going to my shell's light, anyway it blew the brake light fuse and caused the shifter to lock and I couldn't start the truck. That little button under that flap is the override for those systems, try it.

 

nope, at least i don't think so......was install from factory???

i tried disconnecting battery for a while, no luck.......i'm just wondering what's the local dealership gonna say........

i still gotta get myself, the wife, and kids home to nashville....

 

dude me too. I was like who the fu*k is this lady getting in my car? it happened to me at a resort, I guess we both had the same color cadillac rental car, she full on sat down and closed the door, looked over at me at yelped. it was hilarious.

 

so did they have to replace the immobilizer? can they disable/override to get me on the road going and have my dealership back home fix it?

 

I can sympathize with you. It's happened to my 2010 for no rhyme or reason. Several times. Last week as a matter of fact.

 

I looked at the fuses i thought were applicable and a couple that didn't seem applicable....searched TW on my iphone while i was waiting on the tow....nothing i found helped.....

 

Did it eventually start??? Did you bring it to dealership? Fixed?

 

But did you check the Tab that he said? The Tab that is in front of the shifter bezel? What's under there creates the problem you have.

 

this is actually not true...atleast sort of. about a week ago somehow the shifter got stuck in park just enough for the key to come out but not enough so that when i got back in my truck it didnt allow it to start. it was weird and i was freaking out then i move the shifter and it started

 

Keep us posted on what happens.

 

That's total crap. I've heard of this happening to other guys too, and it almost always ends up being a problem with the immobilizer, which makes me want to have the thing disconnected or removed. I have nightmares about being 20 miles out in the backcountry and having this problem. Even if you have a manual, you can't push start if the immobilizer goes bad. Toyota should install an emergency override for this thing somewhere .. and yeah I know that sort of defeats the purpose of it. But they could key the override.
