ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, WE HAVE EXPERIENCED ANOMALOUS BEHAVIOR IN OUR VEHICLE THAT WE BELIEVE IS DUE TO MALWARE. WE WERE REFERRED TO REPORT THIS FROM THE PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: HTTPS://WWW.IC3.GOV/MEDIA/2016/160317.ASPX#FN1 1. OUR ENGINE WILL SUDDENLY ACCELERATE AND DECELERATE WITHOUT OUR FOOT PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR TO CAUSE THIS CHANGE. IT WILL ALSO SLOWLY CHANGE WHEN CRUISING AT A CONSTANT SPEED, THE CAR WILL INCREASE SPEED GRADUALLY WITH VERY LIGHT PRESSURE ON IT. 2. OUR CRUISE CONTROL WILL RESET THE SPEED AT VARIOUS TIMES, WE WILL BE GOING 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE AND IT WILL GRADUALLY SLOW DOWN WITHOUT US DISABLING IT WITH A BRAKE PRESS OR SWITCHING IT OFF. (MY WIFE DOES NOT USE THE CRUISE CONTROL AND CANNOT VERIFY THIS.) 3. OUR RADIO WILL TURN ON SUDDENLY WITHOUT PRESSING THE POWER BUTTON. 4. OUR RADIO WILL EJECT A CD WITHOUT US HAVING THE RADIO ON. 5. OUR AIR CONDITIONER LIGHT WILL TURN ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT US TURNING IT OFF. (I CANNOT VERIFY THIS ALTHOUGH MY WIFE HAS OBSERVED THIS BEHAVIOUR.) 6. OUR AIR CONDITIONER WILL FUNCTION INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES IT WILL OPERATE NORMALLY AND OTHER TIMES IT IS COMPLETELY NONFUNCTIONAL. OCCASIONALLY IT WILL WORK AT LESSER LEVELS BUT IS STILL FUNCTIONAL. RESPECTFULLY, NORMAN AND MONIQUE MAPES

AIR BAGS
WAS REAR ENDED BY A TRUCK THAT WAS GOING MORE THAN 40MPH ( I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP),AND PUSHED INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, AND AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. I HAD RECENTLY BEEN TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO GET A TRANSMISSION FLUSH, WHEN THE MECHANIC NOTIFIED ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS, AND HE INFORMED ME THAT HE FIXED THAT PROBLEM AS WELL. I ALSO HAVE A WORK ORDER THAT SHOWS THAT THE AIRBAGS WERE FIXED THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED IN MY ACCIDENT.

STRUCTURE:BODY
I HAVE AN AFTERMARKET WEBASTO HOLLANDIA 700 SUNROOF THAT GOT RECALLED FOR "IN THE EVENT OF A SEPERATION, THE FALLING GLASS COULD CREATE A ROAD HAZARD OR STRIKE A TRAILING VEHICLE AND CAUSE A CRASH." THE GLASS FOR THE MOONROOF FELL APART FROM THE VEHICLE AND IS GONE UNFORTUNATELY. I WAS TRYING TO BUY THE GLASS FROM TOYOTA WITH THE HELP FROM MY AUTO BODY SHOP "KURODA AUTO BODY INC." WHEN THEY WERE BUYING THE OEM GLASS FORM TOYOTA IN CALIFORNIA. THUS THEY CANT FIX THE CAR BECAUSE THEY CANT GET THE GLASS AND OEM DOESNT FIT EXCEPT WEBASTO. IT SAYS THAT WEBASTO WILL BE PROVIDING THE RECALLS BUT THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT I LIVE IN HAWAII AND THERE ARE NO WEBASTO DEALERS IN HAWAII, CLOSEST IS IN CALIFORNIA WITH LIKE 8 LOCATIONS, THATS THE CLOSEST FOR US, PAY FOR LIVING IN PARADISE I SUPPOSE. IM OKAY WITH THE PARTS BEING SHIPPED TO ME OR TO MY AUTOBODY SHOP THAT CAN DO IT AND OF COURSE WEBASTO PAYING FOR THE LABOR FEES FOR THE RECALL. IM OPEN TO PAYING FOR SHIPPING COSTS IF THEY AGREE BECAUSE I DONT KNOW IF A RECALL PAYS FOR SHIPPING. I NEED A NEW GLASS, THATS THE ONLY THING MISSING, MECHANISM WORKS AND MOVES BUT ITS CORRODED AND I WOULDNT MIND FOR A WHOLE NEW SET IF POSSIBLE. IN THE PICTURES IT IS BETWEEN THE VIN NUMBER OF THE SUNROOF MODEL UNDER THE RECALL. I THINK IT WAS FIX BEFORE FROM ONE OF THE PICTURES SAYING IT WAS CLAIMED ALREADY FROM MY TOYOTA VIN NUMBER, BUT APPARENTLY IF IT WAS FIX THIS WOULDNT HAVE HAPPENED AGAIN SO ANOTHER RECALL FIX I THINK THIS MAY BE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THERE IS A DEFECT TO THE LEFT HEADLIGHT OF THIS VEHICLE CAUSING THE LIGHT FROM THE LOW BEAM TO BE BLOCKED BEYOND A DISTANCE OF 60 FEET FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE IN A SPECIFIC PATTERN TO SUGGEST THAT IT IS THE RESULT OF AN ABBERASION OF THE LENS ASSEMBLY. THE DEFECT IS PRONOUNCED ON UNLIT ROADWAYS BECAUSE IS SEVERELY AFFECTS THE ABILITY OF THE OPERATOR TO IDENTIFY THE LEFT HAND LANE MARKINGS AND ANY ROAD SIGNS. THE LIGHT DISAPPEARS IN A "V" PATTERN OF APPROXIMATELY 130 DEGREES FROM WHEN THE INITIAL SOURCE OF LIGHT IS PRONOUNCED UP TO A DISTANCE OF 60'. NOTE THAT THE RIGHT HEADLIGHT SUFFERS NO LIGHTING LOSS AND THE FIELD OF VISION LEFT TO THE LEFT OF THE UNLIT PORTION IS WELL LIT. GATEWAY TOYOTA (THE SELLING DEALER) AND PER THEIR SERVICE MANAGER, TOYOTA USA DESCRIBES THIS AS BEING A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THIS VEHICLE AND ALL VEHICLES WITH PROJECTOR-STYLE HEADLIGHTS PER "SVMSS" GUIDELINES. AS A FORMER VEHICLE DEFECT INSPECTOR, MOTOR VEHICLE AND HEAVY EQUIPMENT CAUSE AND ORIGIN LOSS INVESTIGATOR, NJ STATE SAFETY AND EMISSIONS INSPECTOR, ASE MASTER-CERTIFIED COLLISION REPAIR TECHNICIAN, ASE-CERTIFIED AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR TECHNICIAN, MERCEDES-BENZ CERTIFIED SERVICE, PARTS AND COLLISION DIRECTOR AND TESLA-CERTIFIED COLLISION ESTIMATOR HAVING OVERSEEN THE SUCCESSFUL REPAIR OF THOUSANDS OF FRONT END IMPACTS REQUIRING HEADLIGHT RE-AIMING AND PROGRAMMING AS REQUIRED, I CERTIFY THAT THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT UNIQUE TO THIS VEHICLE THAT CONTINUES TO AFFECT ITS SAFE OPERATION WITH NO ASSISTANCE FROM TOYOTA USA IN REACHING A RESOLUTION.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS A CHEMICAL BUILDUP ON THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD THAT COULD AFFECT THE SAFETY CAMERA SENSOR (THEY CLAIMED IT WAS PROBABLY WINDEX). DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THAT THE CAMERA ENCLOSURE IS NOT SEALED AND PARTICULATE MAY ENTER THE ENCLOSURE. SAID THE PROBLEM IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. WHAT HAPPENS IS SOMEONE IS A SMOKER OR LIVES ON A DIRT ROAD? DOES TOYOTA EXPECT PARTICULATE IN THE ENCLOSURE TO BE ACCEPTABLE? THIS MAY IMPACT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SAFETY SYSTEMS, ESPECIALLY IF THERE IS SUN GLARE. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN OCTOBER 2019.
