Exclamation Starter dragging

I've come to rely on the "automatic starter", where you give the key a single twist and the engine proceeds to start itself without any trouble. However, pretty much since it was new, on occasion it would hang up..that is, the starter would continue to start, even after the engine seemingly had already started. It only lasts for a few seconds, but I fear that it is damaging/has damaged/is because of a damaged starter or flywheel. I'll make an appt with the service at my dealer (one of the few I guess we can trust), but I wonder if anyone else has experienced this activity?

I have as well, but only after the accident. Stupid collision center said I'm making it up. Were you in a accident at all? If not then maybe mine isn't related to the accident as I had originally thought.

Nope, never so much as a scuff. It happened the first week i had it, and has happened maybe 4 times in the 3 months I've had it

I justed asked my Toyota techs, they have seen no issues with this before, so I guess we're the lucky SOB's
