VISIBILITY/WIPER
MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK ON THE LOW FUNCTIONS BUT HAVE NOT WORKED ON THE FAST SPEED FOR AS LONG AS I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY STATED MY VEHICLE WAS NOT AFFECTED BY THE RECALL FOR THE SHORT IN THE WINDSHIELD WIPER SWITCH. THIS CAUSES A VISIBILITY ISSUE WHEN DRIVING IN RAIN. THE WIPERS STOP COMPLETELY WHEN SWITCHING FROM SLOW TO FAST SPEED SO I CAN ONLY USE THE LOW SPEEDS WHICH DOES NOT HELP MUCH DURING STORMS.

TAKATA RECALL: IN THE MIDDLE OF FEBRUARY 2017, TOYOTA SENT ME A RECALL NOTICE WITH WARNING NOT TO LET ANYONE RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BUT HAD NO SOLUTION AND WOULD LET ME KNOW WHEN THEY DID. NHTSA PHONE LINE SAYS THE RECALL ALSO INVOLVES THE DRIVER SIDE, WHICH MAKES ME A CANIDATE FOR POSSIBLE DEATH! IT HAS BEEN 9 MONTHS AND NOW THE AIRBAG COMPANY IS FILLING CHAPTER 11. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTICE FROM TAKATA FOR SETTLEMENT.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE CAR START UP TO BEHAVE DIFFERENT BEFORE 5.000 MILES.WHEN ACCELERATING THE CAR WAS GETTING FIRST VERY HIGH RPM,BEFORE STARTING TO PICK UP SPEED,EXPERIENCING SOME IMPORTANT DELAYS IN RESPONSE.I WAS TRYING TO ADDRESS THIS WITH TOYOTA OF YORK AND THE SPECIALISTS EXPLAINED TO ME ABOUT PRINCIPLES OF CVT TRANSMISSION AND I WAS PUSHED BACK.AT 10.000 AND 15.000 MILES THE CAR BECAME QUITE LAZY AND I JUST HAD TO GO BACK TO THE SERVICES AS THE RPM'S WERE NOT NORMAL. FINALLY THE COMPUTER WAS RESET AND I START UP TO RECOGNIZE THE CAR. IN ABOUT 3 WEEKS THE CAR START UP TO HAVE AGAIN SOME IMPORTANT DELAYS IN RESPONSE. BACK TO THE SERVICE - THE ISSUE WAS NOT RECOGNIZED THE MECHANICS TRYING TO CONVINCE ME AGAIN ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF CVT TRANSMISSION...I WAS NEVER INFORMED OR ASKED IF I WILL BE INTERESTED TO BUY A CAR WITH CVT TRANSMISSION BUT NOW I START UP TO READ AND GET FAMILIAR WITH IT TRYING TO ACCOMMODATE AND FEEL BETTER ABOUT WHAT I GOT.BEFORE 25.000 I WAS CLOSE TO BE INVOLVED IN 2 INCIDENTS WHEN MY CAR HAD MAJOR DELAY IN RESPONSE-TRYING TO AVOID AND GET OUT OF A SITUATION, MY CAR FIRST GOT TO VERY HIGH RPM AND ONLY AFTER THAT, DECIDED TO ACCELERATE, WHICH I FIND VERY UNSAFE AND I GOT PANICKED.IN BOTH SITUATIONS I REALIZE THAT THIS CAR IS NOT ABLE TO GET ME OUT OF AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. AROUND 25.000MILES I DISCUSSED AGAIN WITH THE MECHANICS, THIS TIME EXPLAINING SAFETY CONCERNS.THE MECHANICS WERE SYMPATHETIC WITH WHAT I EXPERIENCE BUT AGAIN I WAS TOLD THAT I CAN NOT EXPECT MORE FROM A CVT TRANSMISSION IF I WANT TO GET GOOD GAS AND LONG LIFE FROM A CAR.MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THIS CAR ONLY 4 TIMES. SHE FELT VERY UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THIS CAR'S CAPACITY TO ENGAGE IN DIFFERENT SITUATIONS ON THE HIGH WAY.IN OTHER WORDS,THIS CAR WILL FIRST SAVE THE CVT TRANSMISSION,WILL PROTECT THE ENGINE AND WILL SAVE GOOD GAS BUT ON PRIORITY LIST MY FAMILY LIFE WILL COME AFTER.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
SEVERAL TIMES I CAME TOO CLOSE TO HITTING A CAR ON MY RIGHT SIDE THAT I COULD BARELY SEE BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE CAR IS MADE. THE BACK HALF OF THE CAR'S ROOF IS HELD UP BY TWO "POSTS" (I DON'T KNOW THEIR REAL NAME). THESE ARE WIDE ENOUGH THAT THEY BLOCK A LOT OF MY VISION WHEN I AM TRYING TO DECIDE IF IT IS SAFE TO CHANGE INTO THE LANE ON MY RIGHT. WHEN THIS IS COMBINED WITH THE RIGHT, REAR HEADREST, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE A CAR IF HE IS IN THAT HUGE BLINDSPOT. THIS DESIGN IS VERY DANGEROUS.

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY, SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING HOME ON HAMILTON ROAD, IN COLUMBUS, OHIO, AT 535PM. I NOTICED THAT MY HEADLIGHTS WEREN'T ON, WHEN OTHER DRIVERS WERE TRYING TO WORN ME. I SET MY HEADLIGHTS ON AUTOMATIC WHEN I FIRST RECEIVED THE CAR. I FINALLY FOUND THE SWITCH TO TURN MY HEADLIGHTS ON MANUALLY. THEN MY CAR STARTED TO BRAKE 10-15 FEET FROM THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, MY TIRES WERE SQUEALING. MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL IT WAS STILL ON THE ACCELERATOR. IT WAS TOO LATE I HIT THE SUV IN FRONT ME. MY AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. THE ACCIDENT AVOIDANCE SYSTEM DIDN'T ACTIVATE UNTIL TO LATE. IT IS CLEAR THAT THE CAR RESPONDED AFTER THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH WAS MANUALLY TURNED ON INSTEAD OF BEING IN THE AUTO POSITION. IT WAS SUGGESTED AT A DEALERSHIP EARLIER THAT CYCLING THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM ON THE CAR COULD INADVERTENTLY DISARM IT. IF THAT WERE THE CASE AND IT WAS OFF ACCIDENTLY WHY DID THE CAR TRY TO BRAKE AT THE LAST SECOND ON ITS OWN BY TURNING ON THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED FOR THE DRIVER FOR THE VERY REASONS OF ITS SAFETY FEATURES UNFORTUNATELY THIS CAR COMPLETELY FAILED TO PROTECT THE DRIVER. THAT IS WHY I FEEL LIKE THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED AT IMMEDIATELY TO SEE IF THIS IS A MECHANICAL ISSUE, PROGRAM ISSUE, OR SIMPLY DRIVER ERROR, WHICH I DO NOT BELIEVE AT THIS POINT. I HAVE PHOTOS OF VEHICLE AND INTERIOR WHICH I AM UNABLE TO UPLOAD ON THIS SITE, THEY ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.

TAKATA RECALL. SINCE BEING NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL, MY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE STILL WAITING ON THE PARTS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. ONE OF THE SERVICE PEOPLE TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL WAS NOT A PROBLEM, "AS LONG AS YOU DON'T GET INTO A CAR ACCIDENT." WHAT KIND OF RESPONSE IS THAT? ONE CANNOT CONTROL WHETHER AN ACCIDENT OCCURS OR NOT. TOYOTA DOES NOT SEEM CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. THE SOLUTION IS TO NOT HAVE ANYONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE FAULTY AIRBAGS ARE FIXED? THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
MY CAR WHEN LEFT ON IN PARK WILL SHUT OFF BY ITSELF AFTER A SHORT TIME (THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE), TODAY WHEN I WAS IN DRIVE AND ABOUT TO PULL OUT OF WORK IT SHUT OFF. I RESTARTED IT AND EVERYTHING WORKED FINE. THE CAR WAS NOT MOVING WHEN IT SHUT OFF, BUT BOTH TIMES THE ENGINE AND OIL LIGHT CAME (THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN ANOTHER LIGHT) ON BUT WHEN RESTARTED THEY WENT OFF.

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA AND I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH FORT BEND TOYOTA TO DO THE SAFETY RECALL. HOWEVER, WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING, THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO PERFORM THE RECALL CLAIMING THAT THEY DON'T DO RECALL ON SATURDAYS (EVEN I HAD AN APPOINTMENT). WHEN I CONFRONTED THE ASSISTANT SERVICE MANAGER, OMAR ADAM, WITH THE FACT THAT I RECEIVED THE SAFETY RECALL NOTICE AND I HAD AN APPOINTMENT, HE THEN TRIED TO GIVE OUT EXCUSES SUCH AS THEY DON'T CURRENTLY HAVE PARTS AND IT'S THE FAULT OF THEIR CALL CENTER (WHO MESSED UP THE APPOINTMENTS). I AM DEEPLY CONCERN AS IT'S AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL INVOLVING LIVES OF MYSELF AND MY LOVE ONES, BUT TOYOTA SHOWS NO CONCERN OF OUR SAFETY AT ALL. AS OF NOW, THEY STILL CLAIM THAT THEY ARE OUT OF THE PARTS AND DO NOT HAVE A DATE FOR ME TO DO THE SAFETY RECALL.
