2009 Toyota Landcruiser 4-DR w/SAB Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2009 Toyota Landcruiser 4-DR w/SAB

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC is an advanced safety feature in vehicles designed to help drivers maintain control during challenging driving conditions. By continuously monitoring various factors such as steering angle, vehicle speed, and individual wheel speeds, ESC can detect and reduce the risk of skidding or loss of control. It achieves this by automatically applying brakes to specific wheels to stabilize the vehicle.

Standard
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is a safety feature in vehicles that helps prevent frontal collisions by alerting the driver of an imminent collision with a vehicle or obstacle ahead. Using sensors such as radar or cameras, FCW monitors the distance and speed of vehicles in front, and if it detects a potential collision, it provides visual and/or auditory warnings to prompt the driver to take evasive action.

Optional
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is a safety feature in vehicles that alerts drivers when their vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without signaling. Utilizing cameras or sensors to monitor lane markings on the road, LDW detects when the vehicle crosses these lines and triggers visual, auditory, or haptic alerts to notify the driver of potential lane departure.

Complaint:
"i, members of my family and business associates have experienced a sticking accelerator on numerous occasions on my 2009 toyota landcruiser. this was not due to the floor mats. i took the vehicle to the toyota dealer, joe machens, in columbia missouri complaining about the problem. they stated nothing was wrong with the vehicle on several occasions. i requested they escalate the problem to their regional division who stated that i was the only one making this complaint. clearly, i was not the only one with this problem. i called toyota customer service and issued the same complaint and while they documented my call, did not offer any solutions. there are service documents of my issue with the toyota dealer. this problem occurs at random times, without warning, at all different levels of speed. it is quite frankly, scary. i have tried to lift up the accelerator to see if it was "stuck". the accelerator would move but it won't make a difference on the speed of the vehicle. i firmly believe the problem is electronic. please understand i am a big fan of the landcruiser line from toyota. i have a 92 lnadcruiser which has 250,000 miles on it. however, please, please, please add the 09 landcruiser to the recall list before it hurts or injuries me or someone else. *tr"
