I used to work part time at a toyota store, and had a long line of customers (language/ethnicity advantage) story short is

3 days ago I got a call from a person who bought a camry two years ago - as he has a language barrier coupled with a hearing problem he preferred to speak to me. He called me to inform that his ABS, TRC and batt light are ON. I asked him to drive the car to the service - its under warranty. Now the guy tells me the engine is OFF because it wont crank, battery is flat.

GENIUS!!!!!!!! In all his ownership he never bothered to stop the key between the lock, ACC or ON positions - just insert and spin to start.

For such owners - changing oil, brake fluid or other lubricants or even general parts is
