| Description of the problem | Since my vehicle hit about 50000 (the date below is an estimate) and it is at 79900 now when i park and turn off the ignition and remove the keys and roll up the windows and lock the vehicle and leave it a vast majority of the time the power drivers window rolls itself down at some point between two minutes and many hours later allowing for anyone to tamper with any of the trucks interior safety devices and leading to possible theft of the vehicle, its parts and contents. In addition whether the window rolls itself down or not the vehicles alarm will sometimes sound when there is nobody near the vehicle and after having it checked out by a local toyota dealer who had no idea what is causing it nor how to fix it and sent me away with problem unresolved i have to open the hood every time i park and manually unhook the negative lead to the battery which further exposes me to potential injury either from battery malfunction or engine malfunction due to the constant disabling and reenabling of power to the entire vehicle and to my person due to being struck by another vehicle by standing on front of my truck with my view of my surroundings blocked by the raised hood and other drivers view of me in that unexpected location as i am in large part blocked from view by the raised hood. This has been witnessed by my mechanic and his employees as well as family members |
