ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Second time this has happened in 2 years. Driving on the freeway and the car’s electrical system shuts off. No power to any electrical, lights flicker, all dash lights came on. Car would not start, then to repair it the battery needed to be replaced and the alternator needed to be replaced. Very dangerous as I immediately lose power steering, lights, etc.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
The batter has been bad since the beginning. Even the original battery would right away leak and leave a lot of residue. My car since the beginning has told me there is something wrong with the power system. But Toyota keeps insisting that it’s just a random message. And that they don’t know why it says it. It’s concerning because I constantly need to get a new battery. The other thing is that. When I unlock my car. Either the passenger side or the drivers side doesn’t lock or unlock. It’s mostly scary for me because there are times that I’m not in the safest area and I struggle to open it manually. I also have a few other friends that have the same car as I do and same year and they are also having the same problem. And the third thing is the ac system just decided to only work when it wants to. It seems like it’s a faulty system.

Defect in the windshield- Lamintaed glass- Due internal stress in the inner glass layer, pieces of the glass started falling in my lap as I was driving. Please investigate. Called Toyota Customer Service Group and they failed to understand the safety of this issue. Laminated glass should not separate by having pieces of glass in driver's lap and reating a hole in the upper corner of the windshield

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I have a 2017 toyota camry with only 30k miles and the servo motor has gone bad. that's what the dealership told me. i was told by dealership this is a common problem, yet Toyota doesn't have a bulletin for this issue. i am looking on [XXX] and see it's listed and several other websites. i was told repair cost can be $1,4000 - 4,800. Car has only 30k miles so i am quite surprised that it's needing this costly repair. Furthermore, given the fact that it's a known issue why did Toyota not have a bulletin for this? Are they trying to pass this cost onto the consumer? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
