“Test drove this car at toyota of rock hill. Sales manager did not want me to take it on the interstate. I refused to buy it unless I could take it there. Went approximately 1 mile. With flow of traffic in right lane, being passed on left. Not speeding. Car started fishtailing. Slid sideways to the right and off road. I was going straight when car malfunctioned. This seems to be a more prevalent issue with the 04 model.”

“I bought my car new. At 13k miles, the crankshaft position went out and there was a rattle in the rearend. The dealer fixed both problems. But now at 26k miles, the engine is knocking hard and it turned out my engine is burning oil. Btw, the rattle in the rearend is back again. I bought my car for a total of $32,000 and I don't deserve to make a few trips to the dealership for repairs already when I've only had my car for 3 years with under 30k miles only!”
