| Component | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | 1) cruise control does not hold set speed when going down steep hills 2) instrument panel lights dim to the point of all most going out, regardless of were the dim control is set. Unable to predict when this will happen. Sometimes they go dark and come back on and other times they may stay off regardless of what i do. I wrote to toyota on 12/11/2009 concerning these topics and have not received a reply. Another letter will be going out shortly. I am aware of what the manual says on these topics, but do not believe they should be happening. How long have they been building cars? No excuse for these problems. |
