AIR BAGS, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
"TAKATA INFLATORS" NOVEMBER 29, 2016. ENTERED VEHICLE TO MOVE IT AWAY FROM CURB. STARTED VEHICLE AND IT SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING ACCELERATED AND CRASHED OVER TWO RETAINING WALLS AND HIT A PARKED CAR, FORCING THAT HIT VEHICLE INTO ANOTHER PARKED VEHICLE. OUR VEHICLE CONTINUED ONWARD ACROSS A PARKING LOT AT CRASHED INTO A TREE. WE COMPLAINED TO TOYOTA AND THEY REQUESTED US TO RELEASE THE VEHICLE TO THEM IN ORDER THEY RECOVER THE EDR/VCH DATA. WE SIGNED A CONSENT FORM AND THEY QUARANTINED THE VEHICLE UNTIL A PRIVATE CONTRACTOR COULD RETRIEVE THE DATA. THIS TOOK OVER 10 WEEKS THAT WE HAD NO USE OF THE VEHICLE. TOYOTA FINALLY RELEASED THE VEHICLE BACK TO US. TOYOTA SENT US AN EMAIL STATING THEY DISCOVERED NOTHING WRONG. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED BACK TO COOKS COLLISION OF DAVIS CA. WHICH WAS A REPAIR SHOP RECOMMENDED BY OUR INSURANCE LIBERTY MUTUAL INSURANCE CO. THE INSURANCE CLAIM #PD000-034712120-01. COOKS COLLISION INSPECTED THE DAMAGES AND DETERMINED THAT THE CAR WAS TOO DAMAGED TO REPAIR AND LIBERTY MUTUAL OPTED TO TOTAL THE CAR. THIS CAR WAS A TOTAL WRECK, HOWEVER, NOT ONE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
DRIVER VISOR, AFTER IT IS EXTENDED TO THE SIDE, DOES FALL AND SAG FURTHER THAN IT SHOULD, COVERING A LOWER PORTION THAN NORMAL OF THE SIDE DRIVER WINDOW. VISIBILITY TO THE SIDE IS GREATLY REDUCED; IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE TRAFFIC APPROACHING PERPENDICULARLY FROM THE LEFT SIDE, AND I AM A RELATIVELY SHORT DRIVER. TOYOTA SAYS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND EVEN HAD A 7 YEAR WARRANTY EXTENSION CALLED CUSTOMER SUPPORT PROGRAM ZTT. THIS PROBLEM IS NOW EVIDENT IN MY CAR, WHICH IS 7.5 YEARS OLD, AND TOYOTA REFUSES TO COVER IT. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT 7 YEAR WARRANTY EXTENSION WAS JUST A CHEAP SUBSTITUTE FOR WHAT SHOULD BE A RECALL. THERE ARE PLENTY OF VIDEOS AND PICTURES OF THIS ISSUE THAT CAN BE SEARCHED ONLINE

SERVICE BRAKES
IN NOVEMBER OF 2016 WHILE DRIVING BRAKE LIGHTS CAME UP IN 2 PLACES INDICATING CHECK BRAKES. WHEN PUTTING FOOT ON THE BRAKES THEY WENT TO THE FLOOR. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP, THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. ON MAY 12,2017 LEAVING MY HOUSE I NOTICED BOTH LIGHTS WERE ON INDICATING CHECK BRAKES AND BRAKES. I LEFT THE DRIVEWAY AND WHEN I CAME TO A STOP THERE WAS A LOUND NOICE COMING FROM THE BARKES AND MY FOOT WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I CALLED PAGE TOYOTA CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. ONCE AGAIN I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. A CONSULTANT FROM TOYOTA WAS CALLED IN, USED A COMPUTER TO EXAMINE THE PROBLEM I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS MY FAULT I AM DRIVING WITH 2 FEET ONE ON THE BRAKE AND THE OTHER ON THE ACCELERATER. THAT IS ABSOLUTHLY NOT TRUE. I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS MY DRIVING THAT IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. IT IS A SEROUS SAFETY ISSUE. I DRIVE 3 OF MY GRANCHILDREN OFTEN.. I AM NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING THE CAR. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT BEING IN AN ACCIDENT OR CAUSING ONE IF I DO NOT HAVE BRAKES TO PROPERLY OPERATE A VEHICLE.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
3 INSTANCES OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION, THE LAST WHILE PARALLEL PARKING ON A BUSY SMALL TOWN STREET WITH PEDESTRIANS PRESENT. A SEVERE ACCIDENT THAT COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED PEDESTRIAN OR DRIVER INJURY WAS AVOIDED ONLY BY QUICK REFLEX APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES AND A SHIFT OF THE GEAR INTO NEUTRAL. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE ENTERING A MAJOR HIGHWAY VIA AN ACCESS ROAD.THE ENGINE SUDDENLY TOOK OFF AND RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION AFTER BRAKE APPLICATION AND A DOWNSHIFT TO NEUTRAL. THE THIRD EVENT OCCURRED OCCURRED A FEW WEEKS BEFORE THE FINAL EVENT, WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. UNINTENDED ACCELERATION SIMILAR TO THE OTHER TWO INCIDENTS LIKEWISE OCCURRED. AFTER THE FINAL INCIDENT, THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHERE ASSURANCES FROM THEIR ENGINEERS THAT THE CAR WAS " SAFE TO DRIVE" RANG HOLLOW, GIVEN THAT A NUMBER OF DEATHS CAUSED BY UNINTENDED TOYOTA ACCELERATION HAD BEEN REPORTED IN RECENT PREVIOUS YEARS. ALTHOUGH I DIDN'T RECORD SPECIFIC DATES WHEN THE INCIDENTS HAPPENED, THE FINAL ONE OCCURRED IN THE FALL OF '15 AND THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN ON THE ROAD SINCE FOR FEAR OF INJURY TO MYSELF, FAMILY OR OTHERS. AS THE CAR LEASE CONCLUDES ( THE MONTHLY PAYMENTS HAVE BEEN DUTIFULLY PAID SINCE THE FINAL INCIDENT) I WRITE THIS TO HAVE IT ON RECORD THAT I CONSIDER THE CAR TO BE UNSAFE AND THAT I WANT TOYOTA (GIVEN THEIR SEEMING LACK OF CONCERN ABOUT THE ORIGINAL COMPLAINT) TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE SHOULD THE CAR BE SIMPLY PASSED ON TO A NEW OWNER OR LESSEE AND ANOTHER UNINTENDED ACCELERATION OCCUR, CAUSING INJURY.

FOR SOME TIME MY DASHBOARD HAS BEEN STICKY AND GLOSSY. THE REFLECTION AT NIGHT IN ADDITION TO GLARE FROM ONCOMING CARS IS BLINDING AND A SAFETY HAZARD. I'VE TRIED NUMEROUS PRODUCTS IN AN ATTEMPT TO CLEAN/REMOVE THIS TACKINESS. NOTHING WORK. ALSO THE PASSENGER VISOR "HINGE" SEEMS TO HAVE GOTTEN HOT AND BENT THAT I CAN'T TO REATTACH THE SOR. CURRENTLY IT KEEPS DANGLING. MY VEHICLE IS/WAS STATIONARY.
