| New cars with the headlights that come on when the car is started. on 10/12/2008 i found three cars driving with just the front driving lights on at night in lexington, ky. the new cars have the front driving lights that are turned on when the car is started. owners are seeing the head lights on and think that they have turned the head lights on already. when they have not. this has owners driving at night without tail lights on. again, the problem is that the tail lights don't turn on with the front lights automatically , and owners are driving without tail lights in the dark. if the car manufacturers have daytime/automatic headlights, then they need to have the tail lights set up to come on automatically also. these were on some high end cars. these are very well educated people. my acura tl and chevy suburban do not have this feature. this was on a nes acura tl, chrysler suv, and toyota fj (which you need to add to you toyota list). you might want to look into this problem. thank you. *tr | |||

| I, members of my family and business associates have experienced a sticking accelerator on numerous occasions on my 2009 toyota landcruiser. this was not due to the floor mats. i took the vehicle to the toyota dealer, joe machens, in columbia missouri complaining about the problem. they stated nothing was wrong with the vehicle on several occasions. i requested they escalate the problem to their regional division who stated that i was the only one making this complaint. clearly, i was not the only one with this problem. i called toyota customer service and issued the same complaint and while they documented my call, did not offer any solutions. there are service documents of my issue with the toyota dealer. this problem occurs at random times, without warning, at all different levels of speed. it is quite frankly, scary. i have tried to lift up the accelerator to see if it was stuck. the accelerator would move but it won't make a difference on the speed of the vehicle. i firmly believe the problem is electronic. please understand i am a big fan of the landcruiser line from toyota. i have a 92 lnadcruiser which has 250,000 miles on it. however, please, please, please add the 09 landcruiser to the recall list before it hurts or injuries me or someone else. *tr | |||
