| Description of the problem | My car has a problem with the radar control. It has failed multiply times on the freeway when i had it in cruise. The problem is that a "beep beep goes off and then the car slows down for no apparent reason. This has happened mostly in wet weather but has failed many times. With no one in from of me. I had it in to toyota and then spent the whole day going over the car. They said there is nothing wrong with the car but maybe not use the cruise. They would not sent me a letter to the fact that they did not find anything wrong. It took me 3 to 4 days of calling and faxing to get this info. Now the insurance company is telling me that before i bought this supposable new car in 2015 with only 8,000 miles on it that it has been wrecked or in 2 accidents before i bought it. I believe that there is something seriously wrong with it and it is a danger to drive it. Can you help me. I can not supply you with any data other than my permission fax that i sent toyota to go through my car. My son drove the car or i am not the only one that witness this occurrence |
