| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While car was going about 25 mph, it went from "drive" to "park". it stopped abruptly. could not get car back in drive except momentarily. the car's electric system cycled on and off on a 16 to 20 second period. that is, it would be on and in park and then shut off momentarily every 18 seconds. it continuted doing this for about 10 minutes when i stopped monoriting it. i had the car towed to a toyota dealer. when it was examined about 2 hours after the incident, it worked fine and there was no computer feedback on the problem. they didn't know what happened or what to do. they said to bring it back when the problem happened again. this could be a life threatening glitch if it occured at freeway speeds in traffic. i believe toyota should put all cars that this has happened to on the sidelines until they find out what the problem is and then come up with a fix. because of the real possibility of injuries, nhtsa should start an investigation and start pushing toyota to take this seriously. |
