ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, STEERING
After driving the vehicle in the rain, pulled into work and the car died. Would not restart, it popped up with power steering low error code. After leaving work car started right up and drove normal. Searching online and a lot of other people are having same issue, causing there cars to die and not restart when they are in traffic. Most people reporting the same issue have had their cars die on them while on the highway in stop and go traffic, which could lead to a wreck. I don’t want this to happen to me or anyone else as I travel a lot with my two small children in the vehicle. Other items to note, almost all the people I found online with same issue have said that it was also raining, with their windshield wipers on and the start stop function turned on. Thank you for looking into this for me and other customers.

STRUCTURE:BODY, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Moon roof spontaneously shattered while driving. No impact from any object caused this, no other vehicles around and vehicle was only at 5 MPH at time of shattering. It’s as if the glass just shattered outwards from inside the cabin of the vehicle. Showered driver with glass and could have caused injury especially if glass fell into eyes.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
Bought brand new car from Toyota. While driving on Highway at 60 mph car suddenly went dead and catastrophic warning showed up on dash. Was barely able to pull over to side of road. Very dangerous. Had car towed to Toyota who informed me that battery was defective in cold weather and went dead. Battery replaced. Recall inspection is warranted.

STRUCTURE:BODY
None of the doors has puddle/ courtesy lights which can cause hazard situation when doors need to open in dark environment. Those lights when available alerts oncoming vehicles pedestrians or cyclists. Oncoming vehicles cyclists at danger of poor visibility if the doors open. There use to be lights on all 4 doors few years ago on any motor vehicle. Then certain manufacturers made them available only on front doors. Now they are all gone from all doors at least in the car I have. In my opinion this should be a safety requirement. Kindly evaluate and see if what I mention make sense. It was a simple technology which may have prevent certain hazardous situation.

1 - there is no hatch release button on the remote or inside the vehicle 2 - there is no tune knob on the radio.

Extremely hard to carefully open and also have to pull very hard to close doors. There is no grip in the door armrests. 4 - gearshift should be on the left side of console, not the right 5 - no ability to customize what you want displayed on the touchscreen, ie mpg, direction, temperature, date, time, channel, etc. It’s all or nothing. 6 - trip info doesn’t display current mpg compared to trip mpg 7 - passenger seat has pocket on back, but driver’s seat does not

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The drivers side mirror is distorted like if you have on a pair of glasses that are stronger than they actually are. It makes my eyes go cross-eyed everytime I look into that mirror & it's going to cause me to get into an accident if it's not addressed. I already went to the dealership & the service consultant said he could see what I was talking about but the service technician said he saw nothing wrong with it. I am also have an issue with the alignment. It was off when I brought it in for my inspection sticker & had them look at it & they said it was slightly off so they adjusted it but here it is 3 days later & my alignment is off once again. I contacted the person that sold me the car & a service manager is suppose to be getting in touch with me. That's also what they said last week when I first mentioned the issues to them but I never got a phone call. So we shall see.
