My mom asked me about this the other day
.
We had the recalls done on our both our Vibes for liability reasons. I wanted to be able to blame GM/Toyota if something did happen (not that I ever thought anything would/will happen, but you just never know), but if it did, they couldn't say, "Well, you never had the recalls done, so you're screwed!"
Like Geoff and Tim said, I know how to put the vehicle in neutral and (hopefully) avoid any accidents/incidents.
