    Too many to list, and I've probably forgotten a bunch.
    Bad transponder key, maybe?

    My guess will be a key issue as well, or bad fuel pump maybe.

    If its cranking over I wouldn't think battery. I would go along the lines of spark/fuel issues or even the key.

    Im a tech and work on cars for a living and didnt mess with it since it was under warranty.. I can turn the key and it will crank over and over but dont fire, hooked my scanner and no codes

    Things i checked:
    -Battery ; passed load test
    -codes
    -1/4 tank of gas doubt it was bad

    I called the dealer to check on it they got it started but i asked what did they replace for the starting issue and he said nothing?!?!? They are addressing the driveline vibration with TSB parts

    CHECK the BATTERY GROUND to CHASSIS.
    You can crank it ALL day-it will not run.

    Well I told them take your time find out whats wrong or what happen.. The rep from toyota a was yhere and stumped as well and still couldn't find anything so I went and picked it up I noticed they re balanced my wheels and that took alot of the vibes out of the steering wheel..

    Im gonna swap keys thinking it was a transponder issue and go from there
