Toyota has indicated that a safety brake over-ride system, to prevent over-accelerations, has been installed in SOME of its models, but not all until 2012—Question…Does anyone know for sure if the 2011 Toyota Highlander has this in it, or will it come in 2012? This will be the deciding factor on my purchase. Thanks!
Thanks Shrelkn….I suspected as much that toyota is hiding the fix or refusing to reveal to the public what is being done in terms of the over-ride system…effective today…I wil boycot Toyota. The Ford Edge, and the Chevy Equinox, and the Subaru are by far the most reliable vehicles, and there is no subversion on those companies part.

Toyota is recalling nearly 1.7 million cars, the bulk of them in Japan, for various defects that may cause fuel leakage. (Jan. 26)

AmericaJR.com’s Jason Rzucidlo reports from inside the Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center for the 2011 Automotive News World Congress. Watch for remarks from James Lentz, President and Chief Operating Officer of Toyota Motor Sales USA He discussed the automaker’s big recalls in 2010 and talked about how Toyota will open a new safety and testing center in Ann Arbor, Mich. Lentz hopes people will put their trust back in Toyota.

I just noticed it today- after 8 years of having my car! I dont have a security system- so this is news to me. Funny thing is- its blatently obvious to look at when driving. I have no idea why ive never noticed it before. Thanks!
I have to adjust it manually
