STEERING
WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS TAKING A LEFT HAND TURN INTO SUPERMARKET ENTRANCE, HER STEERING LOCKED UP ON HER. SHE HAS BEEN DRIVING THIS CAR SINCE MIDDLE OF JUNE 2014 WHEN CAR WAS PURCHASED FOR HER. I HAVE OWNED TOYOTAS IN THE PAST, AND HAVE KNOWN THEM TO BE RELIABLE VEHICLES. THIS INCIDENCE HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THIS TIME, AND TOYOTA APPARENTLY KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM. THEY EVEN RECOGNIZE IT AS BEING SOME FORM OF ELECTRONIC POWERING STEERING ISSUE, WHOSE COST IS UPWARDS OF 1400.00 TO REPAIR. I AM COMPLETELY DUMBFOUNDED BY THIS (CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE), THAT IS SUPPOSE TO COST ME, THE CONSUMER ANOTHER 1400.00 TO REPAIR. I HAVE READ OF THIS ISSUE IN PREVIOUS LOGS, NEWS REPORTS, AND COMPLAINTS. WHY HAS TOYOTA OR NHTSA NOT FORCED THIS ISSUE. I BELIEVE NOW THAT THIS IS UNSAFE FOR MY DAUGHTER TO DRIVE, AND DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE. IF SAFETY IS NOT A CONCERN HERE, I AM NOT SURE WHAT MERITS THAT DISTINCTION. SIGNED, A VERY UPSET PARENT AND ONCE LOYAL TOYOTA CUSTOMER. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE
I WAS STARTING TO BACK OUT OF A DIAGONAL PARKING SPACE AND SUDDENLY THE CAR RAPIDLY ACCELERATED AND BACKED ACROSS TWO LANES OF DOWNTOWN BUSINESS TRAFFIC COLLIDING WITH A VEHICLE PARKED DIAGONALLY ACROSS THE STREET. WHEN MY VEHICLE STARTED ACCELERATING I STOMPED ON MY BRAKE BUT THE CAR DID NOT STOP UNTIL IT HIT THE OTHER VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THIS IS AN INCIDENT OF "UNINTENDED LOW-SPEED SURGING" AS REPORTED ON THE INTERNET AND UNDER NHTSA ACTION NUMBER DP14003. *JS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY
MY SON RECEIVED HIS CAR TODAY THAT WAS SHIPPED TO HIM FROM MAUI TO PORTSMOUTH,VA. AS HE WAS DRIVING BACK TO BASE HIS PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR FELL OFF. THE INSIDE WAS MELTED. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE MIRROR. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD. I CONTACTED TOYOTA VIA EMAIL ABOUT THE INCIDENT. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW AND HAS ONLY HAD ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. THERE IS EITHER A FAULTY CONNECTION OR FAULTY PART THAT CAUSED THIS. I NOW WORRY THAT THE CAR MAY CATCH FIRE. *TR

SINCE A RECALL CORRECTION FOR THE SMART STOP TECHNOLOGY, THE CAR WILL ACT LIKE IT WANTS TO DIE WHEN STOPPED AND WILL HESITATE BEFORE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. IT ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO QUIT RUNNING IF IDLING TO WARM UP AND GAS MILEAGE IS WORSE THAN BEFORE. *TR

ENGINE
AFTER DEALER DID SMARTSTOP TECHNOLOGY UP DATE, OVER A PERIOD OF A FEW MONTHS THE ENGINE PERFORMANCE HAS DROPPED OFF, AS HAS THE GAS MILEAGE BY ABOUT 5MPG WITH NO CHANGE IN DRIVING HABITS. TALKED TO DEALER ON 12/11/2014 AND WAS INFORMED THE CAR HAS TO RELEARN THESE FUNCTIONS. ASKED HOW LONG THIS WOULD TAKE AND WAS TOLD A FEW MONTHS WHICH I FIND UNACCEPTABLE. MILEAGE ON CAR NOW IS ABOUT 28000, TO ME THAT IS MORE THAN ENOUGH TIME TO RELEARN ALL FUNCTIONS. *TR
