TOYOTA'S 11/03/2015 SAFETY RECALL NOTICE INSTRUCTED ALL OWNERS TO TURN OFF THE PCS ( PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM ). NOT HAVING THIS VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE OPERABLE FOR THIS LENGTH OF TIME IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD NOT BE LEGAL. I PAID A-LOT OF $ TO HAVE THIS SYSTEM AND AS A SENIOR CITIZEN I AM NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING WITH IT TURNED OFF. WHY HASN'T TOYOTA FOUND A FIX FOR THIS MONTHS AGO?? PLEASE HELP ME AND ALL TOYOTA AVALON 2014 AND 2015 OWNERS GET TOYOTA TO FIX THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY BEFORE MORE PEOPLE ARE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE TOYOTA TOLD US TO TURN THE PCS OFF.

TOYOTA ISSUED RECALL 15V728, REGARDING THE PCS SYSTEM ON OUR AVALON. THAT WAS LAST NOVEMBER, 2015. TOYOTA HAS FAILED TO PROVIDE A FIX, AND WE HAVE BEEN WITHOUT THIS VERY EXPENSIVE IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE FOR OVER HALF A YEAR. TOYOTA'S NOTICE STATED THAT IF "TOYOTA HAS FAILED OR IS UNABLE TO REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME, YOU MAY SUBMIT A COMPLAINT TO THE ADMINISTRATOR , NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION. " I AM HEREIN REGISTERING THAT COMPLAINT, AND REQUEST THAT THE NHTSA REQUIRE TOYOTA TO REFUND TO OWNERS OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES THE VALUE OF THE FEATURE WE HAVE BEEN DEPRIVED OF FOR OVER HALF A YEAR. IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT TOYOTA IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY DEFECT IN THE INDEFINITE FUTURE, SO TOYOTA'S FAILURE TO PROVIDE THIS FEATURE WE PAID DEARLY FOR IS BORDERING ON FRAUD. OR AT LEAST LIGHT A FIRE UNDER TOYOTA AND GET THEM TO FOCUS ON FIXING THIS FEATURE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. *TR
