Driving in a storm all the forward looking sensors failed as the sensor became covered with snow and ice. These are the sensors that control collision alert, lane departure alert, cruse control etc. The safety functions most required in bad weather failed.

problem #1

ES 350

  • 2,850 miles
I was driving the car on the freeway with the cruise control on when it started to rapidly decelerate and pull back to a standstill. I pushed the accelerator but nothing would stop the deceleration. I had to pull over to the side of the freeway since the car eventually stopped and pushed the button to turn off the cruise control. After a few minutes, I fellt that I could reenter traffic and was able to do so but without the cruise countrol engaged. I took it into the dealer who indicated that they could find nothing. This was a very dangerous situation and I could have been rear ended or gone off the road. If this had happened at night there could have been very bad consequences.
