The incident is on my 2001 Toyota Land Cruiser. I was driving between 70-75 mph with the cruise control activated. After approx 2 hours the cruise control shut off with out any warning. I deactivated the cruise and continued to drive. Approx. 1 hour later the traction control light came on (flashing) and the warning chime activated. Then the vehicle started braking one or more wheels without any warning. This caused me to almost lose control of the vehicle while I was in traffic. This happened (2) times in a period of 800 miles. I took the vehicle to a Toyota dealership and they said that they could no find anything wrong with the vehicle nor could recreate the incident. I was told that they could not do anything further on the vehicle. I called Toyota USA and they told me that I had to work with the dealership to fix. This is a dangerous vehicle if this happens without warning and traveling at highway speeds. The danger is greater if the road surface is wet or icy. I am at a loss as to what to do with this vehicle. I am no going to let my wife drive this vehicle until it is fixed because the potential for an accident is too great.
Unexplained acceleration in my 2003 Toyota landcriuser. Once in a parking lot almost pushing me into pedestrians while my foot was on the brake. Another time when making a turn and almost pushed me into a car - my foot was on the brake and I didn't have a foot on the accelerator. I heard you were loooking into this on a camry - I have this also and it is a safety concern. I've called Toyota with no acknowledgement there is a known problem.
I recently purchased a Toyotal highlander which has a headrest problem - it is so large that it pushes the head of the person in the seat forward to the point it is very very uncomfortable - in my case very painful. Neither the dealer nor Toyota will help me with the problem. I am not the only one who is having a problem with the headrest - neighbors are and I have seen people driving highlanders without headrests, which are a safety issue. In my case it is definitely a safety problem - I was rear ended twice in a vehicle without a headrest and am suffering cervical spine problems as a result. We need help with this problem.
