TOYOTA ISSUED RECALL 15V728, REGARDING THE PCS SYSTEM ON OUR AVALON. THAT WAS LAST NOVEMBER, 2015. TOYOTA HAS FAILED TO PROVIDE A FIX, AND WE HAVE BEEN WITHOUT THIS VERY EXPENSIVE IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE FOR OVER HALF A YEAR. TOYOTA'S NOTICE STATED THAT IF "TOYOTA HAS FAILED OR IS UNABLE TO REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME, YOU MAY SUBMIT A COMPLAINT TO THE ADMINISTRATOR , NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION. " I AM HEREIN REGISTERING THAT COMPLAINT, AND REQUEST THAT THE NHTSA REQUIRE TOYOTA TO REFUND TO OWNERS OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES THE VALUE OF THE FEATURE WE HAVE BEEN DEPRIVED OF FOR OVER HALF A YEAR. IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT TOYOTA IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY DEFECT IN THE INDEFINITE FUTURE, SO TOYOTA'S FAILURE TO PROVIDE THIS FEATURE WE PAID DEARLY FOR IS BORDERING ON FRAUD. OR AT LEAST LIGHT A FIRE UNDER TOYOTA...
