## Narrative
Backed into a mailbox on the passenger side rear taillight. Car did not detect the mailbox and give any warning to the driver.  Mckinnon Toyota in Clanton Alabama advised that this vehicle is not equipped to detect a stationary object behind the vehicle.  Three individuals at Toyota customer service advised that it did.  R/O Number for the visit is [XXX].  The reference number from Toyota customer service is [XXX].  Car was purchased on 6/2/23.  Car was purchased with the expectation that it was equipped to detect rear stationary objects when in reverse.  I consider this a safety issue if it will not detect a person behind the car in reverse.  This is my daughter's car. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
