VISIBILITY/WIPER
ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WHEN IT WAS RAINING. I HAD TO PULL OVER UNTIL THE RAIN STOPPED. MY MECHANIC DID A DIAGNOSTIC AND THOUGHT THERE WAS A BAD CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSMISSION BUT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STILL WON'T WORK. I THEN WAS TOLD IT COULD BE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR.

I BOUGHT MY CAR IN NOVEMBER OF 2012 WITH ABOUT 70,000 MILES AND QUICKLY NOTICED IT BURNED A LOT OF OIL. SHORTLY AFTER THAT I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM TOYOTA ADMITTING THEY HAD A PROBLEM WITH THESE ENGINES BURNING OIL. THEY TOLD ME TO HAVE MY CAR TESTED AT THE DEALERSHIP. I HAD THE CAR TESTED AND TO MY SURPRISE IT PASSED THE TEST. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO TAKE THE TEST AGAIN AFTER 1 YEAR. THE NEXT TIME I TESTED THE CAR IT FAILED THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST BY A LARGE MARGIN. TOYOTA REFUSED TO NOW REPAIR THE CAR BECAUSE I HAD REACHED 151,000 MILES AND THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 150,000 MILES. TOYOTA KNEW ALL ALONG THAT THE CAR HAD OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEMS AND NOW THEY REFUSE TO STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT. EVERYWHERE I DRIVE THE CAR NOW I HAVE TO CARRY EXTRA OIL WITH AND ON LONG TRIPS ITS A REAL ISSUE. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THAT AND WE PAY A LOT OF MONEY FOR THESE CARS. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN TOYOTA FOR NOT STANDING BY THEIR PRODUCT.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
AT RANDOM TIMES THE CAR BEGINS TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN WITH NO INTERFERENCE TO THE PEDAL. IT WILL KEEP ACCELERATING UNTIL I HIT THE PEDAL AND PULL UP ON THE PEDAL WITH MY FOOT. IN NEUTRAL THE ENGINE WILL REV UP TO OVER 6,000 RPM AND CONTINUE GOING UP. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING A NORMAL SPEED AND IS RANDOM.

ENGINE
BACK IN JANUARY, 2018 MY ENGINE WOULD KNOCK WHEN I STARTED THE CAR. TOOK THE CAR FOR IT'S SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THERE WAS ONLY A QUART OF OIL THAT DRAINED. MY OIL LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. NEEDLESS TO SAY THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO CONSUME OIL. TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED THAT MY ENGINE NEEDED TO EITHER BE REPLACED OR REBUILT. I OPTED TO HAVE IT REBUILT. I PAID $4000 DOLLARS FOR THIS. GOT THE CAR BACK AND DROVE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND CHECKED MY OIL ONLY TO FIND IT WAS DOWN 1 1/2 QUARTS OF OIL AFTER ONLY 2 DAYS OF DRIVING ON BASICALLY A BRAND NEW MOTOR. I'M STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON MY VEHICLE AND HAVE FALLEN BEHIND SEVERAL TIMES TO MAKE REPAIRS TO MY VEHICLE. SO FAR IN THE TWO YEARS I'VE OWNED THIS CAR I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP/FILTER, WATER PUMP X2, FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS, TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER, SPARK PLUGS X4. THIS IS GETTING REALLY EXPENSIVE. THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM REFUSED TO EVEN LOOK AT THE VEHICLE A WEEK LATER WHEN I COMPLAINED ABOUT IT MISFIRING.
