SERVICE BRAKES
ON OR ABOUT MID APRIL 2018 THIS VEHICLE WAS LEFT PARKED AND UNATTENDED OUTSIDE IN UPSTATE NY FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS. THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE AT THE TIME WAS FROM THE MID 20S TO THE MID 30'S WITH SOME SNOW. AFTER 2 WEEKS, I CAME BACK AND ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE IT FROM IT'S PARKED SPOT WHEN I DISCOVERED THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR WHEEL LOCKED UP AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL GARAGE WHERE THE D/S REAR CALIPER PINS WERE FOUND FROZEN AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS FOUND RUSTED. ON APRIL 2019 THE SAME VEHICLE WAS LEFT PARKED IN UPSTATE NY WHEN THE LOCAL TEMPERATURE VARIED FROM THE LOW 30'S TO THE HIGH 30'S WITH SOME SNOW ON THE GROUND. I RETURNED AFTER 2 WEEKS AND THIS TIME IT WAS DISCOVERED THE REAR WHEELS WOULD NOT TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS AGAIN TOWED AND THE REAR ROTORS WERE FOUND EXTREMELY RUSTED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE FRONT ROTORS WERE ALSO FOUND EXTREMELY RUSTED BUT WERE NOT REPLACED AT THIS TIME. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS PARTIALLY STUCK AND HARD TO BRAKE FREE FROM REAR ROTOR DUE TO RUST.

STEERING
THE STEERING STARTED PULLING LEFT OR RIGHT AFTER THE CAR WAS STARTED AND DRIVEN . WOULD STOP AFTER THE THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF AND TURNED BACK ON. I THINK THE PROBLEM IS WHEN THE BATTERY IS LOW ON AMPS AND YOU TURN ON THE IGNITION THE LOW AMPS MESSES UP THE ELECYRICAL POWER ASSIST OR THE STEERING SENCER AND LOCKS THE STEERING PROBLEM IN WHEN YOU START THE CAR AND THEN IT"S RUNNING OFF THE ELECTRICAL ALTERANOR. BECAUSE IS YOU PULL OVER AND STOP AND RESTART THE CAR SOME TIMES IT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM TILL YOU RESTART THE CAR. I REPLACED THE LOW AMP BATTERY AND IT FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR NOW. TOOK TOYATO TOMATO AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. PROBLEM COULD BE FIXED WITH A VOLTAGE REGULATOR OR WIRE CHANGE DIRECTLY TO THE ALT. REAL DANGERS PROBLEM ALMOST PULLED ME IN TO THE OTHER LANE!!!!

POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE EXHIBITS SHUTTER AND VIBRATION BETWEEN 25 AND 50 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA DEALER WHERE SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR TRANSMISSION WAS PERFORMED. TECHNICIANS SAID VEHICLE WAS SHUTTER FREE. THE SHUTTER DID NOT IMPROVE ANY AFTER THIS UPDATE. VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS FLUSHED TWICE. MECHANIC NOTED THAT FLUID WAS EXTREMELY DIRTY REQUIRED 2ND FLUSH TO FULLY CLEAN SYSTEM. VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 70,000 MILES AT TIME OF INCIDENT. MECHANIC NOTED THAT TRANSMISSION LIKELY NEEDED REPLACED BUT NEW FLUID WOULD HELP WITH THE ISSUE. VEHICLE IMPROVED AFTER FLUID CHANGE BUT THE SHUTTER HAS NOW RETURNED WITH 125,000 MILES ON VEHICLE. THE SHUTTER FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS RUNNING OVER A RUMBLE STRIP IN BETWEEN THE 25-50 MPH RANGE AS THE CAR SHIFTS GEARS.

ENGINE
ENGINE PISTON OIL CONTROL RINGS IMPROPERLY RETRIEVING OIL IN USE. THE PISTONS AREN'T PROPERLY TREATING THE OIL SO I HAVE TO REFILL NEW OIL MULTIPLE TIMES A MONTH. IT FALLS UNDER THE MODEL AND YEAR THAT TOYOTA WAS DOING RECALLS FOR THE MODEL IN QUESTION. I WONDER IF THIS ISSUE CAN STILL BE FIXED! THE PISTONS NEED TO BE REPLACED! THE ENGINE WORKS REALLY WELL OTHER THAN BURNING OIL LIKE A FRYING PAN. (OIL & ENGINE TEMPERATURES REMAIN NORMAL (TESTED) BUT THE OIL CONTINUES TO DISAPPEAR. NO LEAKS.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THE VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES MOVE ABOUT 10 FEET AND THEN HESITATE FOR ABOUT 1 TO 2 SECONDS. IT WILL THEN ACCELERATE NORMALLY. ONE TIME THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED TO ABOUT 20 MPH AND THEN THE ENGINE RPM RETURNED TO IDLE. THE ACCELERATOR WAS PUSHED TO THE FLOOR AND THE RPM REMAINED AT IDLE. THE ACCELERATOR WAS RELEASED AND PUSHED DOWN AGAIN. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED NORMALLY. THIS HAPPENED ONLY ONE TIME. THE INTERMITTENT HESITATION IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO CROSS A BUSY INTERSECTION WHEN THE CROSS TRAFFIC IS UNCONTROLLED.

ON APRIL 1, 2019, WHEN GETTING INTO MY CAR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, IN MY DRIVEWAY AND MY GRANDDAUGHTER GETTING IN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, SHE SHUT THE DOOR. THE SOUND I HEARD WHEN SHE SHUT THE DOOR I HAD NEVER HEARD BEFORE. IT SOUNDED LIKE SHE HAD MAYBE GRAZED AN EMPTY PLASTIC WATER BOTTLE AS SHE SHUT THE DOOR. I DIDNT THINK MUCH ABOUT IT AGAIN UNTIL APPROXIMATELY 3 MILES LATER WHEN WE STOPPED AT A CONVENIENCE STORE. I HEARD THAT SAME NOISE WHEN SHE GOT OUT AND SHE THE DOOR. I OPENED THE DOOR MYSELF, LISTENED CAREFULLY AND REALIZED I HAD A HOLE IN THE GLASS OF MY SUNROOF THE SIZE OF A GOLF BALL. NOT ONLY THAT BUT VISIBLY I COULD SEE EVERY INCH OF MY SUNROOF WAS SHATTERED. VERY PUZZLED, I EXHASTED ALL THE POSSIBILITIES OF HOW THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED AND COME UP WITH NOTHING. I CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND COULDN'T GIVE THEM AN EXPLANATION ON HOW THIS HAPPENED. AFTER READING AN ARTICLE ONLINE, I REALIZE THAT MY SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED WHILE (THANK GOD) MY CAR WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY.
