“When I use cruise control with the radar feature in my 2021 Camry LE, the steering loosens so much that I don’t have good control when changing lanes. I feel that this is a serious safety issue.

“I was involved in a multi-impact collision while driving my 2021 Toyota Camry.

I then shut the engines off. I believe this accident was caused by 'Sudden Unintended Acceleration , a fault in many Toyota and Lexus vehicles.”

“To the best of my knowledge the following information is true. The car accident was on June 1, 2022. My vehicle is at the Collision repair shop. Will provide their phone # upon request. It would be great if the black box was checked regarding brake assist and other safety features. You have my permission to examine car, take and or check black box.

I usually set my cruise control for the posted speed limit. …”
