turn indicator design flaw
dear sir:
I have been looking into buying a 2011 Toyota Sienna limited with all the options. So I rented a new 2011 Toyota Sienna le (only 900+ miles) from avis for a weeklong trip (1500 miles). The car drives very nicely. However, I was amazed that I could not hear the turn indicator beeper when driving down the interstate with the radio on at a moderate sound level. In addition, the turn indicator switch is not sensitive enough to disengage after changing lanes. Toyotas design engineers should be ashamed to have this serious design flaw on a newly introduced vehicle!
there are plenty of audible devices on the vehicle that could sound after the turn indicator has be engaged for 5, 10, 15 seconds without being disengaged. Toyota could have progressive audible tones, with a last resort of sounding the horn intermittently. Just do something, before you have millions of these vehicles in service. A car going down the road with a false turn indication is dangerous to everyone on the highway!
as a result of this experience I am not going to buy a 2011 Toyota Sienna limited until this issue is resolved. In fact, it would not be bad advertising for all Toyota vehicles to have this as a standard feature. Toyota can give me new vehicles for the rest of my life, as compensation for the idea!
if you would like to discuss this matter further, please do not hesitate to call[xxx].
