| Driving on highway in early december 2004, 60 mph and car went completely out of control as if a front tire had blown. this happened again 3 days later, under the same conditions. thoughts were that the automatic traction control system was kicking on (for not apparent reason) due to a wiring/computer malfunction. this malfunction has occured at least 15-20 times with us on the highway - we have the car parked, except to take it back and forth to the dealership, who cannot seem to duplicate the problem. dealership had it 4 days the first time and 2-3 weeks the second and third times. took it to local mechanic who duplicated problem within the first 15 miles of driving the vehicle (which is a 2002 toyota landcruiser). nothing has been done by the dealership, as they claim they can't duplicate customer's request. manufacturer took claim but has done nothing. local mechanic noted on his work order that this problem may not be fixable and that vehicle is very dangerous and is going to kill someone under the right conditions. he also diagnosed problem, as in fact, being a malfunction in the automatic traction control system and the left front wheel is having the breaks applied (at high speeds, for no reason) and system comes on momentarily, sounding alarm and car swerves out of control. | |||

| The vehicle was purchased in the spring of 2002 with a full warranty. in approximately the summer of 2002, the vehicle had an oil change. several months later, the vehicle began to emit blue smoke and the engine failed. the vehicle was immediately brought to the toyota dealership and the oil was replaced with instructions to take the vehicle for a long drive to burn off the oil. we did so. the vehicle broke down. the vehicle was brought back to the toyota dealership and we were told that the engine is ruined and would costs approximately 6,000.00 to repair due to oil problems. | |||

| Serious safety issue dear sirs, this monday of this week (13 august 2007) when i was putting my 3-year old daughter's carseat in my toyota, the passenger seatbelt jammed in the fully extended position. i immediately took the car to my local dealer (tuscaloosa toyota) and i was told that the seat belt could not be repaired and was not covered by a cradle-to-grave warranty, merely a 5-year, 60k warranty. i was told that the seat belt would have to be replaced at a cost of nearly $300. i believe that legally required safety issues on automobiles need to be covered cradle-to-grave as they have profound implications in the safety of drivers and passengers. as a side note, after 21 years of service my 86 honda crx needed similar service. this was immediately remedied by my local honda dealer (townsend honda) at no cost, with no questions asked. james weston *tr | |||
