| Description of the problem | No accidents so far. Problem sonar cruise controlled cars. I have anew toyota avalon limited. I have the sonar cruise contol which works very well. Ptroblem when my car slows down suddenly becauseof the car in front, there is no warning for the car behind me.. Toyota was notified of this [problem and told me not to use the sonar in heavy travelled roads. That is no souution. There should be a fix to make the brake lights go on when the car is slowed down by the sonar. Toyota says that they do not go on. That is the problem no waarning to the driver in the rear of my car. Can anything be done to correct that problem? Please let mer know. Shapm@bellsouth. Net. *ak see also voq 10119009. *dsy |
