Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Needed to use my horn when someone drifted into my lane on the interstate. The horn did not work. I could not honk to inform that driver to stay in his/her lane. Afterwhich, I took it to my Toyota dealer. They diagnosed and discovered the spiral cable had an open circuit. They replaced the spiral cable assembly. From what I remember they told me this cable assembly carried wiring for cruise control, air bags, horn and something else. I do not recall the fourth item.”

Abs, vsc, gas, check engine, all lights will randomly come on. The scary part is this most recent time it jumped the speedometer way up as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated!”

NHTSA complaint #10713171, filed 2015-04, 2,505 miles“Not sure. Wife was driving 2015 4RUNNER into parking lot at low speed and it jumped a tree. Not at all saying it is a Toyota issue - just to be on safe side reporting. Air bags did not deploy. Understanding is it just ended up there when she was parking. Epic photo - all the same - worth documenting. She advised she was stopped or just stopped prior to the tree-climb. Pax side was daughter and taking her in for medical today due to complaints of pain and weakness. Police came but did not issue report.”
NHTSA complaint #11067365, filed 2018-02, 22,000 miles“When accelerating through a turn from a stop, if for any reason you lift off the accelerator pedal and then reapply pressure to the accelerator pedal, no acceleration takes place. It is if you are not pressing the accelerator at all, no matter how hard you press. This has almost resulted in several collisions because the car is no longer accelerating and is just coasting. To correct this condition, you have to completely left your foot off the accelerator and reapply pressure. Sometimes you have to do this more than once. Very dangerous. …”
