Pre-collision system (pcs). my vehicle is having the issues identified in nhtsa campaign number: 15v728000. the dealership looked but didn't do anything more than attempt to recreate. they did say, the problem is most likely the pcs misreading objects on the road, which is what your recall notice states. can you please include my vehicle in this recall. it is dangerous for this warning system to activate, falsely notifying of emergency when there is none. i purchase this vehicle on 5/3/2019 as a toyota certified used car. within days of purchasing i began having this pcs warning light and beeping going off and the break light coming on. the breaking system has not automatically been engaged but i am very uncomfortable when i drive. at best, it is a huge distraction to the driver

Dash chrome trim. on every sunny day the bright work on the dash reflect the sunlight in to your eyes.this temporarily blinds you. i have complained to dealer. i was told there is no problem. i have seen other complaints on the internet. so i am not the only one. i have read on the 2016 models they have removed or dulled t hetrim.
The door panal rattles with no bass on at all. it's not the speakers, it's not insulated well and through make a rattling sound when music or talking is played. the bluetooth also works inconsistently. the person can not hear the driver but the driver can hear the caller well.
I received a letter informing me of a problem with the pcs system(recall 15v728) and told to immediately turn it off, to schedule an appointment and the dealer would disable the system until a fix was provided. the dealership responded that they were doing nothing until a fix was available. what should i do or what should be done?
This complaint concerns nhtsa recall number 15v72800 regarding the pre-collision system. the recall is dated 11/3/2015. i received notification from toyota on 12/8/15 and disabled the pcs feature as instructed on that day. numerous contacts to toyota since then and still no action on a final fix.this is an important safety feature that i paid for - and i feel it is time for resolution. your help please.
Toyota avalon pre collision system (pcs) was deactivated due to safety recall on november 3, 2015. nearly four and half months have gone by and toyota does not have a remedy to fix the problem. the 2016 models which are essentially identical have not been affected which leads me to believe a remedy has been identified. how much longer must consumers wait before the vehicles will be repaired.

While driving a 40 mile distance on a two lane road the console became extremely hot to the point that the water in my container became very warm. the entire area was hot to touch. cause is unknown. i mentioned it to the dealer and was told that if it was not happening at the time, they could not do anything. it has happened only once to this extent. a second occurrence was only slightly warm.
The pre-collision system activated without anything in front of the avalon while driving up an airport ramp. my daughter was travelling about 25 mph and the car initiated a hard braking with the driver seat belt tightening. the car did not stop completely which was fortunate as there was a car behind me. it happened on 10/1/15. in reviewing potential recalls today based on my vin, i noted a recall for the pre-collision system. i am scheduled 12/3/15 to have the system shut down at the local toyota dealership as an interim remedy.

Under normal driving conditions, this one owner cars driver's seat is falling apart. it broke where the controls are, and the leather finish of the seat coverings [back and bottom] prematurely wore off. while under warranty, the mfg replaced the leather seat portions twice, both times with new leather whose finish also wore off. out of warranty its just "too bad for the owner." this has been going on since the car was bought new.
While traveling in the left lane at highway speed with no other vehicles in the lane in front of us for at least 100-150 feet, the collision avoidance system randomly engaged. this caused the vehicle to brake very hard, which caused us to decelerate rapidly (losing 20-30 mph in a short distance). the warning beeps that are normally associated with rapidly approaching another vehicle/barrier in front of the vehicle also were sounding, and a warning light came on the instrument panel. in addition, the seatbelts on both front seat occupants locked and drew us forcefully down and backwards into the seats. this last approximately 2 seconds, at which time the beeping stopped, the emergency braking stopped and the seatbelts loosened. the driver was able to maintain steering input throughout and the vehicle continued driving normally afterward. at no time during this event was another vehicle, animal or barrier in front of the vehicle and there were no near-collisions that would or should have caused the system to engage.
The 2014 toyota avalon has a back up camera with a complex set of geometric colored boxes in the image on the screen that appears when the car is put in reverse gear. the owner's manual does not have an entry for the back up camera. so, what do these various colored in the back up camera screen mean? is information for this safety device required to in a reference book provided to the owner by the manufacturer?
