2013 TOYOTA LAND CRUISER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED SINCE THE PURCHASE DATE, HE ENCOUNTERED A SIGNIFICANT AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH REGARD TO THE ACCELERATOR/THROTTLE MECHANISM. ON A SPORADIC BASIS, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A LOW SPEED TO HIGH SPEED, SUCH AS, MERGING INTO A TRAFFIC LANE, THERE WAS A LACK OF RESPONSE (SIMILAR TO A STALLING SENSATION). ON TWO OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
NEW CARS WITH THE HEADLIGHTS THAT COME ON WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED. ON 10/12/2008 I FOUND THREE CARS DRIVING WITH JUST THE FRONT DRIVING LIGHTS ON AT NIGHT IN LEXINGTON, KY. THE NEW CARS HAVE THE FRONT DRIVING LIGHTS THAT ARE TURNED ON WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED. OWNERS ARE SEEING THE HEAD LIGHTS ON AND THINK THAT THEY HAVE TURNED THE HEAD LIGHTS ON ALREADY. WHEN THEY HAVE NOT. THIS HAS OWNERS DRIVING AT NIGHT WITHOUT TAIL LIGHTS ON. AGAIN, THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE TAIL LIGHTS DON'T TURN ON WITH THE FRONT LIGHTS AUTOMATICALLY , AND OWNERS ARE DRIVING WITHOUT TAIL LIGHTS IN THE DARK. IF THE CAR MANUFACTURERS HAVE DAYTIME/AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS, THEN THEY NEED TO HAVE THE TAIL LIGHTS SET UP TO COME ON AUTOMATICALLY ALSO. THESE WERE ON SOME HIGH END CARS. THESE ARE VERY WELL EDUCATED PEOPLE. MY ACURA TL AND CHEVY SUBURBAN DO NOT HAVE THIS FEATURE. THIS WAS ON A NES ACURA TL, CHRYSLER SUV, AND TOYOTA FJ (WHICH YOU NEED TO ADD TO YOU TOYOTA LIST). YOU MIGHT WANT TO LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *TR
