ENGINE
STARTING IN 2013 I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH OIL USAGE. OF COURSE I WAS TOLD IT WAS A RANDOM ISSUE AND NOT HAPPENING TO OTHER VEHICLES. MY ENGINE BLOW IN JAN 2014. I HAD TO PAY TO REPLACE IT BECAUSE IT WASN'T UNDER WARRANTY. AROUND AUGUST OF 2015 I GET A LETTER ABOUT THE OIL CONSUMPTION. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER FOR THE TEST, OF COURSE MY ENGINE FAILED THE TEST. WE SCHEDULED TO HAVE THE PARTS REPLACE IN SEPT 2015. THE WORK WAS COMPLETED AND IT HAD A ENGINE NOISE WHICH I WAS TOLD WAS NORMAL. IN FEB 2016 MY ENGINE BLEW AGAIN !! I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY DID NOTHING WRONG !! HOW ?? IT WAS FINE, JUST USING OIL UP UNTIL THEY TOOK IT APART AND FIXED THE PROBLEM !! NOW THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING BECAUSE IT WAS NOT THE ORIGINAL MOTOR !! BUT I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE ORIGINAL MOTOR AND THEY DID NOTHING THEN EITHER !! SO I HAVE A CAR SITTING IN STORAGE THAT CANT BE DRIVEN AND THEY WANT TO NOTHING !!

SERVICE BRAKES
THIS IS THE SECOND TIME MY CHECK ABS SYSTEM HAS COME ON. THE FIRST TIME THE BRAKES WERE VERY HARD TO WORK AND WOULD HARDLY STOP AND GRABBED. THIS WAS FOUND TO BE A BROKEN WIRE IN IN THE REAR OF THE CAR. NOW IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN AND THIS TIME THEY SAY IT IS THE REAR HARNESS THAT IS BAD AND IT IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. MOST OF THE 79 COMPLAINTS ARE FOR THESE PROBLEMS AND THERE IS YET TO BE A RECALL. THIS IS NUTS! DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO GET KILLED BEFORE THE NHTSA DOES ANYTHING. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, ITS THE BRAKES!!! .

SERVICE BRAKES
THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THAT MY CHECK VSC SYSTEM HAS COME ON. I WAS DRIVING ON THE STREET AND CAME TO A LIGHT AND MY BRAKES LOCKED AND I COULDN'T STOP RIGHT AWAY. LUCKY THERE WAS NO CAR IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE HIT THEM. I HAD PRESS HARD ON THE BRAKES WHICH CAUSES THE CAR TO START BUCKING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I AM LOOKING TO PURCHASE ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR.

ON WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 27,2016 I GOT OUT OF MY CAR,OPENED THE TRUNK, TOOK SOME THINGS OUT, TRIED TO CLOSE IT, IT BOUNCED UP. I FOUND OUT THE TRUNK LOCK PAD WOULD NOT LOCK, I WAS TOLD TO ORDER A DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR INTEGRATED WITH A LATCH. RECEIVED IT, PUT IT ON AND IT DID THE SAME THING. THIS COULD CAUSE MORE DAMAGE TO THE CAR AND INJURY TO A PERSON ESPECIALLY IF IT HAPPENS IN ROUTE. PUT NEW PART ON AND IT WONT LOCK. FEEL ITS DEFECTIVE AND TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE TO ALTAR THE SITUATION.

LIMITED VISIBILITY THRU WINDSHIELD DUE TO DASHBOARD REFLECTION (MELTING DASHBOARD HAS CAUSED A HIGH GLOSS FINISH). THIS CONDITION HAS BECOME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE OVER TIME AND PRESENTS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. TOYOTA HAS CREATED A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM TO REPLACE THESE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARDS, HOWEVER, MY DEALERSHIP HAS INDICATED THE DASHBOARDS ARE LIMITED AND SAID HE HAS A CUSTOMER ALREADY WAITING 6 MONTHS. I TALKED WITH TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY WOULD NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AS A SAFETY HAZARD, COULD NOT TELL ME WHEN A REPLACEMENT DASHBOARD WOULD BE AVAILABLE AND REFERRED ME BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. TOYOTA DOESN'T SEEM COMPELLED TO REPLACE THESE PARTS IN A TIMELY MANNER. IN MY OPINION THIS IS MOST DEFINITELY A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND SHOULD BE CLASSIFIED AS A RECALL AND NOT A 'WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT". PLEASE SEE ATTACHED IMAGES.

THE "LOW OIL PRESSURE" LIGHT FLICKERED BRIEFLY A FEW DAYS AGO, THEN AGAIN THE EVENING OF 1/10/2016. I HAD MY COUSIN CHECK THE OIL LEVEL MORNING OF 1/11/2016. HE SAID IT WAS EXTREMELY LOW. I WENT TO THE SERVICE PLACE THAT CHANGES MY OIL. HE HAD TO ADD 3 QUARTS OF OIL AND SAID I NEEDED TO KEEP A CLOSE CHECK ON IT. I AM VERY DILIGENT IN MY OIL CHANGES AND MAINTAINING MY CAR. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE.
