    Weird issue this morning for my 2020 Tundra Platinum. I remote started the truck with the ket fob and it started right up. I went out to the truck and opened the door and the truck did NOT shut off as it normally does. When I got in all things appeared normal except the red security indicator light was on. When I put the truck into the drive the engine cutout.

    For the next 10 mins when I pushed the brake and pushed the start button all the electrical components came on as normal but the engine made no sound. I locked and unlocked everything. I removed the negative terminal from the battery and the engine still would not start. I got out, locked the doors, and I was just about to give up when I tried starting the truck with the remote start again and it started right up. This time when I opened the door the engine shut off like normal.

    The truck then started up and I went to work like nothing happened. The security light was now off. When I got to work I restarted the truck several times with no problems. Any ideas?

    This has happened to me once and I can't replicate it. I remote started the truck, opened door and it kept running. I turned it off at that point and the dash was telling me it didn't recognize the key. I walked away from the truck (out of range), walked back to it a minute or two later, remote started it, opened the door, and like it is supposed to do, it turned off as I opened the door. Restarted it (this time it recognized the key fob) and I was on my way

    That's encouraging and I hope it was just a little glitch. Thanks for the comment - I feel better now!
