Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC is an advanced safety feature in vehicles designed to help drivers maintain control during challenging driving conditions.

It achieves this by automatically applying brakes to specific wheels to stabilize the vehicle.

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.

No
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:
"last december my airbag light came on. i took it to minot chrysler center and toyota center and they told me the wires for the airbag under the drivers seat were frayed and needed to be replaced. they also had to replace the harness because they said that too was not working. i had it fixed. three weeks ago the light went off i made an appointment right away and today they told me it was the same issue and had to replace the wires on the passenger side. i called toyota and they told me it was up to the discretion of the tech. i called the tech at the chrysler center and she told me that they couldn’t do that because they would have to file a report and then deal with toyota. i was not happy with that response and i said oh so you are telling me that’s too much work and i am on my own. i just ended up paying for it twice now. the drivers side was $594.00 and today’s charges were $485.00. this is a safety issue and should be addressed"
