I have a safety concern. I bought a new car a couple of weeks before this incident; this is what i experienced with the pcs system. It went off with warning buzzer, retracting the seat belts. To my surprise, the frontal car was more than 120 to 150 feet away!; i believe i was driving at about 50-55 mph. Since this is my first experience with the pcs system, i am not sure if this was normal or whether i should bring the car in for inspection.i took the car to the dealer; they gave me a toyota case no. 152660366 ; mechanic said he performed health check on the vehicle and passed. I have not heard from either the dealer nor the manufacturer since then. Please advice. Additional info: vehicle in motion about 50 mph, city street driving, straight broad

While in motion and driving north on rt. 295 at the rte. 50 exit to the district of columbia, twice, once car began breaking while cruise control on and engaged, and once while in motion with it cruise control just on.maryland government notified and case number is sr-0267654
The problem is with the dynamic radar cruise control (drcc).it applies the brakes for no apparent reason.below are descriptions of 5 of about 20 such incidents:-on i-40.i was behind a truck moving 62 in a 70 zone.there was a truck in the left lane about 200 yards ahead.i moved to the left lane.there was no one behind me in either lane.drcc quickly slowed me to 40 mph.-again on i-40, in right lane behind a truck going about 62 in a 70 zone.the truck 20 yards behind me moved left and accelerated.brakes automatically applied by drcc.-on i-8, right lane following a vehicle 10 mph below the speed limit.a car was closely following me.upon reaching an exit ramp, he exited and quickly accelerated.the brakes were strongly applied.-entering freeway; light traffic, drcc set at75.the entrance ramp came in from above the freeway and approached the freeway at a fairly sharp angle.there was a metal guard rail to the left of the left lane.entering travel lane, still aimed at the guard rail, brakes sharply applied.-construction zone on i-80, .speed limit 55 in the construction zone and 70 beyond it.fairly heavy traffic was narrowed to one lane in the zone with orange barrels on the right and jersey barriers on the left.the nearest vehicle ahead of me was 100-200 yards ahead, but behind was a semi about 20 feet away.changed set speed from 60 to 70 approaching end of construction..i was probably 20-30 yards from the end of the construction when i adjusted the speed..just as i reached the end of the zone and was beginning to accelerate, the brakes were strongly applied.the semi veered to miss me.my guess is that if the drcc is confused by the situation it is programmed to apply the brakes.a far more appropriate, and safer, response would be to emit a warning beep(s) and disable the cruise control.
Rear window visibility is seriously hampered by interior reflection on inside of rear window. This vehicle has a light grey interior color and the back package tray and speaker covers are also light grey. This light grey color is reflected on the inside of the rear window glass. When looking out the rear window using the inside rear view mirror, the rear window looks as if it is extremely dirty or fogged. The condition is worse when subjected to sunlight. At present, while awaiting if/when a repair/modification will to be made by the selling dealer, i have laid a black towel on the package shelf as a temporary repair. The black towel has virtually eliminated the reflection and provides clear rearward visibility. Toyota is aware of this vehicle's condition and the dealer has forwarded pictures to toyota showing the extent of the visibility impairment. Unfortunately, any other avalon with a light color interior will have the same defect.
