| Description of the problem | Toyota complaint, dangerous computer program, can cause death. Toyota programs the car computer to post a "maintenance required" sign to pop up on the dash. It has a "red triangle" also to get your attention. The sign stays on constantly until you take your vehicle into toyota to be serviced. This sign is very very distracting while driving because you can not see your speed that is hidden by the sign when you try to set your cruise control. I have run off the road several times while trying to adjust my cruise control and could not see it because of the maintenance sign. It is a very dangerous sign and toyota should remove it from the computer program. I hope someone files a class action law suit against toyota to force toyota to remove the maintenance reminder sign from the computer.
