    Hey Tacoma World.

    Today I tried to start my 2018 Tacoma and the weirdest thing happened. When I pushed the start button the engine kept turning over even when I let the button go. It took about 3 tries until it started. Now I am in Ottawa Canada and it is colder than #$&&%$$ here today but I had started the truck with the remote starter 5 min earlier so it was running already when I walked up. It automatically stops when the door is opened for safety reasons. I have stopped and started it many times after this incident and it seems fine.
    Just a fluc Tacoma World or should I be concerned?

    My 20 did the same thing the last time I used the fob to remote start it (a few weeks ago).
    Same deal, of course it died when I opened the door, then took about 3 times for it to finally start and smelled 'flooded'.

    I'm confused...the starter kept running after the truck started?? Cuz you don't need to hold the push to start button to start you just push it once.

    some of my buttons will stick when the interior is really cold. maybe that's what's going on.
