To whom it may concern, we have experienced anomalous behavior in our vehicle that we believe is due to malware. We were referred to report this from the public service announcement: https://www.ic3.gov/media/2016/160317.aspx#fn1 1. Our engine will suddenly accelerate and decelerate without our foot pressing on the accelerator to cause this change. It will also slowly change when cruising at a constant speed, the car will increase speed gradually with very light pressure on it. 2. Our cruise control will reset the speed at various times, we will be going 70 MPH on the interstate and it will gradually slow down without us disabling it with a brake press or switching it off. (my wife does not use the cruise control and cannot verify this.) 3. Our radio will turn on suddenly without pressing the power button. 4. Our radio will eject a cd without us having the radio on. 5. Our air conditioner light will turn on and off intermittently without us turning it off. (I cannot verify this although my wife has observed this behaviour.) 6. Our air conditioner will function intermittently. Sometimes it will operate normally and other times it is completely nonfunctional. Occasionally it will work at lesser levels but is still functional. Respectfully, norman and monique mapes

Vehicle horn stopped working. Not sure what caused it to stop working. I have not used it that often, but this recently happen when I was merging onto the highway and another vehicle almost ran right into me and my horn did not work to warn them I was there. This makes me nervous in case something does happen with my child in the car.

I was driving to work on a city street when a vehicle changed lanes without warning into my lane. My first reaction was to honk as I swerved to avoid being hit. The horn did not work, thank god my there was enough room for me to move to avoid being hit. I have taken my car in for the air bag recall to the dealership to be fixed. I'm wondering if something could have happened to the spiral cable then or if it is just a faulty equipment. Went I got home I kept trying to make my car honk and I noticed when I turn my steering wheel a certain way it honked. I took my car in for service and asked about the horn and was told there would be a $200 fee to diagnose the problem and that money would go towards the cost of getting it fixed. I asked what the maximum cost would be he said $400. So they diagnosed my vehicle and said the part is $600 and I had 2 weeks to decide. I believe this is a safety issue and I shouldn't have to pay anymore money to have this fixed. I have talked to many people with the same problem. I believe toyota should correct this safety issue before someone gets killed! A horn can make a life or death difference.

For the past two weeks my 2011 toyota has been giving me a hard time turning on, first I thought it would be corosion on the battery so I cleaned the battery it seemed to work for a while but then the problem continued, today I was in the highway and the car turned off while I was driving on a busy highway almost causing a coilison, luckyl I was able to maintain control of the car and pull over, a passer by stopper and gave me a boost which turned the car on until I was able to make it home, I turened the car off went home and came outside to try and turn the car back on after an hour the car was doing the same thing, all the lights would be on but the car wouldnt turn on, I went and got my portable pbattery charger and was able to turn the car back on, I was really scared driving and I fel this is a safety issue because anything can happen while driving a car that can turn off on you at any given moment , im not sure if the dealership I bought the car from is going to fix the problem for free since its a second hand car and I paid almost 12,000 for it but I just made a year with the car on the 12 of october and now its giving me problems I never been in a car accident I was told that everything on the car was new before I got the car befpre hand so idk what is going on now
