The vehicle has a malfunction on the rear cross traffic, blind spot monitor and possible adaptive cruise control - at only 30 miles.
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 toyota sequoia. On several occasions, when the vehicle was started, the adaptive collision warning sensor illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle was turned off and back on, and the vehicle would reset itself. The failure recurred several times. On several occasions, while driving various speeds with no other vehicles ahead, the auto braking feature independently activated and the "brake, obstacle ahead" warning message illuminated.
Received toyota recall notice for my vehicle; specifically by VIN. Called a local toyota dealer who could not find this recall. Called toyota who said it was fixed on my vehicle at a time when they did not have possession!! So is it ok to drive??
