    I pushed the start button on my Prius today and the garage door closed. Yes, the START button. Has anyone ever heard of this happening before?

    There isn't a start button. Just a power button.

    Hmmm, only one post from OP so far. Is this another "stir the pot" posts to see what kind of reaction it will create?

    You gotta wonder if it's one person signing up under different name/profiles, or is it really just random people who come up with these oddball posts.

    And somewhere, there is a child/spouse with the garage remote controller in hand, snickering wildly at the OP.

    It wasn't until JMD posted a picture of Kaley Cuoco that my pot got stirred.

    I suppose the Non-Smart nice person answer to the OP's( potentially sincere?) query is "No, there are no reports of this happening".

    I'm sticking with the Poltergeist and/or Rav 4 Genie.

    I like her in her Non-Rav4 Genie form much better. If only because I'm highly mistrustful of women who carry small dogs with Berets, dressed in matching clothes.
