Vehicle Speed Control problem #1

Text sent to Toyota. Copy to NHTSA. Hello, my name is lee lohman. I am writing to both Toyota and NHTSA with what I perceive as a safety problem. I have owned three Toyotas including a 2017 4runner. I have been pleased with them except for one characteristic they all shared. The turn signal sound volume is just too low. My son's f-150 and my wife's Audi a4 both have very clear and distinct turn signal sounds that I can clearly hear over normal conversation or the radio playing. The Toyota does not. Why? in a nation with aging baby-boomers, whose hearing is diminishing, it would seem obvious that an adjustable turn signal volume control (with a minimum level) would be a much valued enhancement to any vehicle. When you consider that many of the electronic features of modern cars are never used, it strikes me as odd that no vehicle manufacturer has addressed this obvious problem. I have sent a copy of this text to the national highway safety commission and several Toyota competitors in the hopes that someone will realize the potential for a very useful vehicle enhancement.

Vehicle Speed Control problem #2

Truck shimmy's whenever I drive over 50mph. Front tires are damaged from cupping. Maintenance has been done as well as tire alignment and rotation. Dealership keeps saying nothing is wrong with it.
