ENGINE
I TOOK MY CAR TO GET SERVICED AT A LOCAL OIL CHANGE PLACE IN JULY 2019. THEY NOTICED THAT MY ENGINE WAS CONSUMING OIL VERY RAPIDLY WHICH WASN'T NORMAL. LUCKILY FOR ME, THERE WAS A FORMER TOYOTA SERVICE TECHNICIAN WORKING THERE WHO RECALLED AN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE IMPACTING SOME TOYOTA BRANDS. THEY DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND FOUND SOME INFORMATION ONLINE REGARDING A POTENTIAL RECALL OF THE IMPACTED VEHICLES. I WASN'T AWARE OF ANY TYPE OF ISSUE WITH MY CAR'S ENGINE OR A RECALL IN WHICH I COULD HAVE IT REMEDIED. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I WAS HEARING OF THE ISSUE. I TOOK THAT INFORMATION TO A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND AFTER REVIEWING IT, THEY SAID "WE'RE SORRY SIR, BUT YOUR VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY SO WE'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING." THEY CONTACTED CORPORATE AND THE RESPONSE WAS THE SAME. I CONTACTED CORPORATE AND THE RESPONSE WAS THE SAME AS WELL. I'M REALLY ANNOYED THAT TOYOTA NOTICED AN ISSUE WITH THEIR ENGINE'S CONSUMPTION OF OIL AND DIDN'T INFORM ME. I SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP AND HE SAID "YOUR CAR BASICALLY HAS STAGE 4 CANCER... THIS ISSUE WILL PERSIST AND EVENTUALLY YOUR CAR WILL DIE." THIS IS LITERALLY WHAT HE SAID. NOW I'M STUCK WITH A PAID-OFF TOYOTA THAT WILL EVENTUALLY DIE AS A RESULT OF TOYOTA'S NEGLIGENCE AND FAILURE TO INFORM ME OF AN ISSUE. THERE ONLY OPTION WAS TO SELL MY CAR WHICH JUST SEEMS VERY TELLING OF THE SITUATION AS A WHOLE. I WORK IN METRO ATLANTA SO AT ANY GIVEN TIME, MY CAR COULD JUST DIE WHILE I'M DOING 65MPH. AND TOYOTA COULD CARE LESS. THEY'RE HOPING TO WASH THEIR HANDS OF THE MATTER WHEN THEY SHOULD REALLY BE EMPLOYING COMMON SENSE PRACTICES. IF THERE WAS SOME TYPE OF RECALL OR ISSUE WITH MY CAR'S ENGINE AND I WAS AWARE, DO THEY REALLY THINK I WOULD HAVE TWIDDLED MY THUMBS AND DONE NOTHING? I SIMPLY WANT MY CAR FIXED ESPECIALLY SINCE I WAS NEVER AWARE OF ANY ISSUE.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4TH (2019) I WAS WAITING IN LINE AT A RED LIGHT (ON STATE STREET AT THE INTERSECTION WITH HAYWOOD ROAD IN ASHEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA). SUDDENLY MY TOYOTA 2006 LURCHED FORWARD AND BANGED INTO THE CAR AHEAD OF ME. I STOMPED ON THE BRAKE. THE CAR STOPPED, THEN JUMPED FORWARD AGAIN AND BANGED THE CAR AHEAD OF ME AGAIN. MY HUSBAND, SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THREW THE GEAR SHIFT INTO 'PARK' AND OUR CAR STOPPED. AS I WAS JUST WAITING IN LINE AT THE LIGHT WHEN THE CAR SPONTANEOUSLY SURGED FORWARD, WE FEEL THIS WAS A CASE OF 'TOYOTA SUDDEN UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION.' OUR INSURER HAS APPRAISED THE DAMAGE TO CAR AT JUST BELOW $3000. WE NO LONGER CONSIDER THIS CAR SAFE TO DRIVE. OUR INSURER DID NOT REQUIRE A POLICE REPORT. THERE WERE NO PERSONAL INJURIES, SO POLICE WERE NOT CALLED.

THE NEW CAR HAS DOES NOT ACCELERATE FOR SOMETIME AT STOP AND GO AND NO MATTER HOW MUCH U PRESS THE GAS PEDAL, AND WHEN YOU PRESS HARDER FOR A WHILE A JERKY QUICK GEAR CHANGE HAPPENS WITH UNINTENDED ACCELARATION RATES. THIS BECAME PARTICULARLY OF CONCERN ON FREEWAY/TOLLWAY WHEN I TRIED CHANGING LANES AS THE TRAFFIC STARTED CLEARING,PUTTING ME AT RISK WITH FAST MOVING TRAFFIC. THE ABOVE EXPERIENCE OF GEAR SHIFT OR ACCELARATION ISSUE IS CONSISTENT BEHAVIOR SINCE I OWNED THIS CAR FOR PAST 2 WEEKS

VISIBILITY/WIPER
SUN VISOR SAGS. THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN AND TOYOTA SAYS WE RECEIVED IT VIA MAIL. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED AT A TOYOTA DEALER THAT WENT OUT OF BUSINESS IN GREENBROOK NJ. WE TOOK THE CAR TO DCH AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTIFICATIONS. THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR WAS FALLING DOWN. WE CONTACTED THEM AND THEY SAID IT IS OUT BY 4 YEARS YET WE NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATIONS. WE CONTACTED THEM ABOUT NOT RECEIVING IT AND THEY SAID WE HAVE THE CORRECT ADDRESS. NOW WE PAY FOR ALL THE RECALLS AND SERVICE BULLETINS. THE VISOR WOULD BE A VISIBILITY FACTOR WHEN LINE OF SITE IS INTERRUPTED. WE HAD TO FIX AT OUR COST OF 104.00 FOR A PLASTIC SUN VISOR THAT HAD AN OBVIOUS DEFECT IN THE GLUE SEPARATED AND IT WAS NOT THE FAULT OF THE OWNER.

VEHICLE HAS A RECURRING ISSUE WITH RATTLING/TICKING SOUNDS WHEN DRIVING ON CITY, HIGHWAY, AND INTERSTATE ROADS OVER NORMAL ROAD BUMPS THAT IS COMING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGERS SIDE DOOR PANEL/SEAT BELT RETRACTOR PILLAR AREA. THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER DID NOT WANT TO INVESTIGATE MY ISSUE BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE SOUND EVEN THOUGH I HAD MULTIPLE VIDEO RECORDINGS OF THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE HAS SINCE BEEN IN FOR FOUR SEPARATE VISITS WITH ANOTHER LOCAL SHOP TO TRY AND RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THAT SHOP INSTALLED A NEW SEAT BELT RETRACTOR AND PILLAR TRIM ALONG WITH FOAM. NONE OF THOSE ATTEMPTS RESOLVED THE ISSUE. $400+ DOLLARS HAS BEEN WASTED TRYING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE IT IS A QUALITY ISSUE ON TOYOTA'S PART THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE MELTING DASHBOARD IS CAUSING TREMENDOUS GLARE FROM SUN CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD. TOYOTA IS AWARE AND HAD A VOLUNTARY RECALL, BUT I DID NOT GET THE LETTER. WHEN I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL, I THOUGHT DATE OF FIRST USE WAS WHEN I BEGAN DRIVING THE CAR, IT IS NOT. THE SECONDARY COVERAGE FOR 10 YEARS AFTER DATE OF FIRST USE WAS 8/3/17. I CALLED TOYOTA ON 11/17/17 AND THEY SAID TOO LATE. I WENT TO TOYOTA AND CALLED CORPORATE ON 5-30-18, BUT THEY WOULD DO NOTHING. I USE A SUNSHIELD AND CAR IS MOSTLY GARAGED, BUT IT IS THE TEXAS HEAT CAUSING IT, AND I CAN'T STOP IT. I RECENTLY SAW THIS PROBLEM ON THE NEWS WITH NISSAN AND TOYOTA AND HOW DANGEROUS IT IS. THIS IS WHY I AM NOT FILING THIS REPORT.
