Example complaints
Steering: “When steering right or left midway and then going back to steering's original position during motion, a clucking or knock is felt on the steering. My vehicle is around 40k miles and the issue emerged for the past two weeks (around mid feb 2016). Not sure if this issue is going to worsen overtime to a point where steering malfunction during vehicleur motion. I called dealership but they do not find it as a recall; however, I noticed other vehicle owners listed similar issue on this website's compliant website.”

My friend who has the same problem indicated the same issue. The dealer told me all toyotas do that and to live with it.”
NHTSA complaint #10633747, filed 2014-09, 9,000 milesElectrical system: “After not being run for 1 week, there was not enough battery energy to start the engine. Battery was replaced by dealership and system was checked. This happened a second time sept. 18, 2014 after 5 days of no use. I jumped the battery. This happened again sept 22 after 2 days of no use. Called for service and for dealer to check determine reason for dead battery. There appears to be a severe parasitic draw that the dealer cannot locate. Either they do not know how, or something else is going on.”
