ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
UPON PURCHASING THIS CAR FROM CARMAX ON 02/2012 THERE HAD BEEN CONSTANT TRANSMISSION ISSUES THAT WERE NOT BEING RESOLVED FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I HAD GONE IN AND TRIED HAVING MY TRANSMISSION LOOKED AT THREE TIMES A THE CARMAX DEALERSHIP ALL OF WHICH TOLD ME THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR. ON 07/26/2014 MY 2010 TOYOTA'S TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NOW NEEDS A NEW ONE. THIS OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE IS RIDICULOUS FOR A CAR THAT WAS BUILT IN 2010 AND FOR MYSELF OWNING IT FOR TWO YEARS. BOTH THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND CARMAX DEALERSHIP ARE NOT WILLING HELP ASSIST THE PROBLEM. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A TOYOTA CAR AGAIN. UPDATED 4/24/2015 *JS

STEERING
MY WIFE USUALLY DRIVES THE CAR AND HAS COMPLAINED SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THE RIDE AND STEERING OF THE CAR. ON THIS DAY I WAS DRIVING ON A FREEWAY AT 60 MPH WHEN I NOTICED THAT CAR DOES FEEL LOOSE AND CAN BECOME HARD TO CONTROL. I AM A SENIOR MECHANICAL ENGINEER AND WORK ON LOADS AND DYNAMICS IN AEROSPACE SYSTEMS. THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT HAS A POOR STEERING SYSTEM, AND BOUNCES BACK AND FORTH IN A DEAD BAND AND BECOMES HARD TO CONTROL. THIS COULD BE AN EXPLANATION WHY THE FRONT TIRES WEAR AT AN EXCESSIVELY HIGH RATE. *TR

THERE WERE TIMES, WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. *JB THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED SHE HEARD A CLICKING SOUND FROM THE VEHICLE, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE VEHICLE TOOK OFF. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES. UPDATED 11/13/14*JB

STRUCTURE:BODY
UNDER CERTAIN LIMITED CONDITIONS, THE TRUNK DOESN'T HOLD OPEN BY ITSELF. ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE WHEN PARKED FACING UPHILL IN OWNER'S DRIVEWAY. OWNER HAS UNEXPECTEDLY BEEN HIT IN THE HEAD SEVERAL TIMES WHILE RETRIEVING CARGO BECAUSE THE TRUNK JUST COMES DOWN HARD FROM THE FULLY OPEN POSITION. SEVERAL TIMES WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE LATCH AREA OF THE TRUNK LID HAS IMPACTED OWNER'S HEAD. THIS LATCH IS ONLY COVERED BY A SMALL PLASTIC PIECE, OTHERWISE IT'S METAL. THE OWNER HASN'T BEEN INJURED, BUT IT HAS CAUSED THEM PAIN EACH TIME IT HAPPENS. OWNER HAD IT CHECKED AT A TOYOTA DEALER. THEY SAID IT OCCURS BECAUSE AN AFTERMARKET REAR SPOILER WAS INSTALLED BY A PRIOR OWNER. DEALER SAYS THIS AFTERMARKET SPOILER IS TOO HEAVY, CAUSING TRUNK NOT TO STAY OPEN. DEALER OFFERED TO REMOVE SPOILER FOR A FEE. WE'VE SINCE DISCOVERED TOYOTA HAS ISSUED A TSB THAT TELLS DEALERS TO REPLACE ONE OR BOTH TORSION BARS FOR THIS CONDITION. WE'D LIKE TO NHTSA TO REVIEW THIS & SEE IF ENOUGH OTHER COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO CONSIDER A RECALL. *TR

AT DRY RIDGE TOYOTA IN KY. ABOUT PROBLEM ( OCT - 2013 ) AND HE SAID HE WOULD CHECK INTO IT AND SEE IF TOYOTA WOULD OFFER A FIX - NO RESPONSE FROM TOYOTA AFTER OVER 6 MONTHS ITS NOW ( MAY - 2014 ) I HAVE CHECKED BACK EVERY MONTH WITH [XXX] BUT HE SAYS STILL NOTHING FROM TOYOTA - SO IM NOW FILING THIS COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA .......... ALSO THE SPEED CONTROL JERKS CAR VERY HARD AS IT REENGAGES WHILE GOING UP A HILL SOMETIMES APPROX. 25 MPH TO 45 MPH ......... ALSO THE ANTILOCK BRAKES CAUSE THE FRONT END OF THE CAR TO JUMP UP AND DOWN WHEN TRYING TO STOP ON SLICK RAINY OR SNOW ROADS AT SLOWER SPEEDS. THANK YOU.

STEERING
I'VE BEEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE NOW FOR ALMOST 5 YRS. SINCE THE DAY I GOT INTO IT, THE THING WALKS THE HIGHWAY (40 MPH+) CONTINUALLY. ON A TRIP OVER TWO HOURS, YOU START TO GET EXHAUSTED FROM THE CONTINUOUS WEAVING BACK AND FORTH, LIKE A SIDE WIND KEEPS ALTERNATING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT TO LEFT TO RIGHT ECT... ALIGNMENTS, NEW TIRES, ECT CHANGES NOTHING... SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG WITH EITHER THE DESIGN OF THE FRONT END, OR THE STEERING. I JUST WANT TO ADD MY NAME TO THE COMPLAINTS, BEFORE THIS PROBLEM IS ACTUALLY PROVEN TO BE FAULTY AND KILLS MULTIPLE VICTIMS. AFTER 70K, TIRED OF A VEHICLE WHICH WEARS ON ONE'S NERVES... *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING ON ROUTE 30 EAST IN PA, I EXPERIENCED A SCENARIO WHERE I WAS ON CRUISE CONTROL AND PRESSED THE BRAKE. THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AT IT'S SPEED AND SUBSEQUENT PRESSINGS OF THE BRAKES DID NOT SLOW THE CAR. I SHIFTED THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND THE BRAKES STILL WERE NOT SLOWING THE CAR ENOUGH. I HAD TO DRIVE INTO THE LEFT SHOULDER AND GRASS BEYOND THAT IN ORDER TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN ENOUGH TO LET OTHER CARS PASS SO I COULD GO INTO THE RIGHT LANE. THE NEXT BUSINESS I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND AFTER DRIVING 7 MILES AND LOOKING FOR ERROR CODES, REPORTED THAT THEY "COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE ISSUE". MY CAR ALREADY HAD ALL THE FIXES FOR THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION ISSUE THAT TOYOTA HAD A NUMBER OF RECALLS FOR DONE IN DECEMBER 2013. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE FURTHER INVESTIGATED BY TOYOTA BECAUSE IF THE REPORTED FIXES DO NOT WORK, THEN THERE COULD BE A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS/FATALITIES YET TO COME. I NEVER HAD EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE BEFORE. *TR
