| Description of the problem | Repeatedly this car is doing dangerous, bizarre things, and they're getting worse. There' is apparently a problem with the electrical system: when honking the horn the radio comes blaring on very loud and the ac and blower blast out at full force (startling my daughter); sometimes when braking hard, the radio goes on; often when honking the horn, the ac goes on and the radio goes on; when using turn signals the ac goes on and the heater goes on; when turning on ac the horn honks. This is more than annoying -- it is bordering on causing possible serious distractions and an accident. This is a toyota problem -- why should i have spend big dollars getting it taken care of. Surely other car owners have reported similar issues??? |
