By this, i mean that the ac in the front of the car kicks on and off in the middle of…

Fortunately the garage door was closed otherwise she may would been hit by the car door or the car would have rolled into the street. We live in a cul de sac where children play. I contacted toyota about this and was told that is how the ignition is supposed to…

    Unknown Or Other · Vehicle Speed Control

    When the cruise control is engaged and the vehicle is on a decline the cruise control does not maintain the set speed. I noticed this several times while on the interstate traveling between 65-75 mph. Each time there was a car ahead of me and i narrowly avoided what could have been tragic accidents. The first time it happened i thought it was a fluke so i continued to use the cruise control as i would normally do.…

When the radio plays music they can not be heard at all rendering these protection features useless. Furthermore, the volume of the warning chimes can not be adjusted which was…
