Not yet, but if they're shifting into fifth gear with a cold engine they might be doing unknown damage. It's well known that it's not good to go into OD when an engine is cold, and our little Yaris is smart enough to prevent the transmission from doing so. Why people want to override this excellent feature is beyond me, I guess they think they are smarter than the engineers who designed and built it!
