POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TRANSMISSION IS FEELING VERY JERKY AFTER 5000 MILES. HOLDING ON TO LOW GEARS WAY TOO LONG. I'M DOING 40 MPH AND THE RPM IS OVER 3500. THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO KEEP MISSING GEARS. CONSTANTLY DOWNSHIFTING. MILEAGE HAS SURPRISINGLY GONE DOWN. EVEN ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN IM DOING 65+ ITS STRUGGLING TO FIND GEARS AND KEEPS DOWNSHIFTING.

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:DRIVER CLOCKSPRING/SPIRAL CASSETTE, AIR BAGS, STEERING
MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. I CONTACTED TOYOTA REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND I WAS TOLD THEY HAVE ALREADY FIXED THE ISSUE AND IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY SO IT IS MY PROBLEM NOW. I DON'T SEE HOW THEY CAN SKIRT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. THEY WERE THE LAST ONES DEALING WITH THE AIRBAGS AND MAYBE WHAT THEY DID WAS NOT A COMPLETE FIX. EVERYTHING ON MY STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT WORK; HORN, CRUISE CONTROL, PHONE, RADIO VOLUME. I DO BELIEVE MY HORN IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP IN THESE MATTERS.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHEN DRIVING THE CAR, THE CHECK VSC SYSTEM, ABS ICON AND SOMETIMES THE BATTERY ICON APPEARED ON SCREEN. SHORTLY AFTER IT STARTS TO AFFECT THE ENTIRE CAR WHERE IT STARTS LOSING POWER IN THE CABIN AS WELL AS EXTERIOR OF THE CAR. THE VEHICLE ALSO EXPERIENCE COUPLE OF BAD SHAKES FOLLOWED BY SPEED DECREASING, ODOMETER GOING HAYWIRE WHERE YOU ARE SPEEDING OR GIVING GAS BUT THE ODOMETER IS AT 0. FINALLY THE CAR COMES TO A STOP. IT ACTS TOTALLY WEIRD. IF YOU ARE TURN OFF THE CAR TO TURN IT ON AGAIN, THE CAR DOES NOT TURN ON. THERE IS NO IGNITION CLICKING AS WELL. WHEN THIS OCCURRED THE FIRST TIME, THE CLICKING OF STARTING THE ENGINE COULD BE HEARD. THE SECOND TIME, IT WAS AS THE CAR HAS COMPLETELY DIED ALTHOUGH BATTERY STILL HAS POWER SINCE THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS DO TURN ON. BOTH OF THE TIME THE ACCIDENT WAS AVOIDED. THE FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE WAS LUCKILY PULLED INTO A SIDE STREET AND NOT ON MAIN ROAD. THE SECOND TIME IT WAS CLOSE ENOUGH BUT WAS ABLE TO PULL ON TO THE SIDE STREET AND TO A PARKING SPACE. IN THE FIRST ATTEMPT, THE BATTERY WAS JUMPED AND TOOK OFF THE CABLE IN COUPLE OF MINUTES AND FINDING THE CAR DEAD. THIS WAS THOUGHT THAT THE BATTERY WAS BAD. SECOND TIME, NEW BATTERY WAS INSTALLED AND THE SIMILAR INCIDENT WAS EXPERIENCED. WHEN THE NEW BATTERY WAS INSTALLED, THE CAR WAS 'OK' FOR COUPLE OF DAYS BUT THE BATTERY ICON WOULD COME AND GO. WHEN THE ABOVE ISSUE WAS EXPERIENCED AGAIN AND THIS TIME ON THE NEW BATTERY, IT WAS JUMPED AND STAYED FOR 5 MINUTES BEFORE DRIVING AWAY. THE BATTERY ICON STILL COMES AND GOES AND IT IS NOT DUE TO THE BATTERY BEING LOSE. EVERYTHING IS TIGHTENED PROPERLY. THIS WAS NOT EXPERIENCED IN THE 10 YEARS OF OWNING THIS CAR. THERE ARE NO MAJOR ACCIDENTS ON THE CARS. THERE WAS NOTHING MINOR OR MAJOR HAPPENED TO THE CAR PRIOR TO THE INCIDENTS

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE CAR KEEPS JUMPING FORWARD, IT CAN'T DECIDE WHEN IT WANTS TO SHIFT UP. WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP, OR DRIVING AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR TAKES OVER 5 SECONDS TO REALLY 'TAKE' AND REALIZE YOU ARE PUSHING ON THE GAS. ALL IT DOES IS REV, A LOT.

SERVICE BRAKES
COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE!!I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT WHEN MY BRAKES WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND A LOT OF LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASHBOARD, I COASTED TO A STOP LUCKILY WITHOUT HITTING ANOTHER CAR. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED, I HAVE NO WARNING LIGHTS INDICATING THERE IS OR WAS AN ISSUE AND I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC THAT IS TELLING ME THAT IT HAS A FAULTY BRAKE PART #4405030660. I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND IT LOOKS LIKE TOYOTA SELLS AN UPDATED PART REPLACEMENT FOR THIS FAULTY ORIGINAL PART, PART COST IS $1200 PLUS $700 LABOR. READING MANY FORUMS I'M FINDING OUT THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE OVER THE YEARS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE AND ID LOVE TO KNOW WHY THIS ISN'T A RECALL BUT A PUNISHMENT FROM TOYOTA AND A DEATH SENTENCE JUST WAITING TO HAPPEN.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
DURING HEAVY RAIN, THE WATER FROM THE WHEEL WELLS IS THROWN UP ONTO THE WINDSHIELD AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS CANNOT KEEP UP WITH IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT 30 MPH, AS WELL AS HIGHER SPEEDS. THIS COMPLETELY OBSCURES VISIBILITY AND HAS NEARLY CAUSED TWO ACCIDENTS, AS WELL AS SOME VERY FRIGHTENING INCIDENTS. THESE OCCURRED ON HIGHWAYS AND LOCAL PAVED ROADS. HEAVY WATER THROWN BY OTHER VEHICLES CAN'T BE TAKEN CARE OF BY THE WIPERS, FORCING THE DRIVER TO GUESS WHERE THE ROAD AND OTHER VEHICLES ARE.

SERVICE BRAKES, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
EVER SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR I'VE NOTICED THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKES ARE EXTREMELY TOUCH AND IMPOSSIBLE TO ACCELERATE SMOOTHLY FROM A STOP. THE BRAKES ARE ALSO EXTREMELY TOUCHY SO IT'S HARD TO COME TO A SMOOTH STOP WITHOUT JERKING. I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS AND AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT ABOUT THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKES I'M VERY WORRIED THAT MY CAR WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THE PEOPLE WHO HAD ACCIDENTS OR NEAR ACCIDENTS HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE THE CAR WENT OUT OF CONTROL. WHEN USING SPEED CONTROL IT WILL ALWAYS BLINK AND HAVE TO BE TURNED OFF AND ON

VISIBILITY
DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FALLS DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY. WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE EXCEPT FOR FULL DOWN POSITION. THIS HAS BEEN SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW. WAS SEARCHING FOR HOW TO FIX IT AND FOUND LINK TO HERE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALL TOYOTA VISORS AND IS DUE TO BAD DESIGN AND POOR MATERIALS. TOYOTA DOES NOT STAND BEHIND IT AND THE REPLACEMENT VISORS ARE THE SAME JUNK AS ORIGINAL.
