DEAR SIR; CONCERNING THE TOYOTA-RECALL-PROBLEMS, THERE WERE/ARE MANY CASES EVEN IN JAPAN, ALTHOUGH THE JAPANESE MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT DID NOT ANNOUNCE ON IT FOR A LONG TIME. IF YOU NEED SUCH AN DATA ON THE INPORTANT TROUBLE CASES IN JAPAN FOR THE NEWLY TOYOTA IN FUTURE, I WOULD BE ABLE TO PROVIDE SOME PHENOMENON-DATA ON MY CASES AS AN USER, I THINK: PARTICULARLY, UNEXPECTEDLY HIGH ROTATION OF THE ENGINE /ALTERNATIVELY SLOW ROTATION SUDDENLY WITHOUT ANY STOP. IT MEANS "UNEXPECTEDLY ENGINE-BRAKE" AS YOU KNOW. ANYWAY, ALL OF THESE UNEXPECTED HIGHLY/SLOWLY ROTATION OF THE HIGH VOLUME-ENGINES WERE DEPENDED UPON THE ETCS, I ALSO THINK/ BELIVE EVEN AT THIS TIME AS AN USER FOR A LONG TIME WITH HIGHLY SENSITIVE TECHNICS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENSION ON THESE PROBLEMS FOR A NEWLY TOYOYA AS A JAPANESE. (NOTE) I HAVE BEEN IN THE UC-BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA, A LONG TIME BEFORE. *TR
