Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Takata recall 2,000 miles past warranty, the check engine and traction control lights came on and lost power. Not sure if it happened while I was stopped or in transient. It was early in the morning on my way to work and I had just stopped at a gas station to get a cup of coffee. Toyota changed out the computer free of charge but the problem is still existing. Which means it's an internal engine/ transmission issue. The right rear tail light collects condensation too. Although it is not present currently in the photo. It is present after every wash or heavy rain. …”
