“Rear window shade went up and now won't go down. I took the car to the dealer a few months ago and they were able to put it down.when they told me the cost of repairing/replacing, I opted to just not use it. A few weeks ago, it went up again and I am not able to see anything at night, took to the dealer again to see if they could put it down again and I was told I need to change the motor ( almost $1000) so I was not able to do it. I told them I cant see at night and they didn't do anything about it. …”
NHTSA complaint #11219541, filed 2019-06, 112,000 miles“2011: I noticed the dash felt soft, not sticky exactly, but for lack of a better word, pliable. 2013: while driving on vacation I realized my visibility was tremendously impeded by the incredibly opaque glare in my windshield from the dashboard. It was so bad, I realized I could make out the patterned imprint (designed to resemble leather grain). There is nothing that can be done to reduce this glare as long as the sun is out. It seriously impairs my ability to see clearly, is obviously distracting, and added to my fatigue on the trip. …”
NHTSA complaint #11365268, filed 2020-10, 20,000 miles“Dash indicator on my 2007 Toyota Avalon signaled that windshield washer fluid was low. I filled the tank with fluid. The next day a pool of washer fluid was on my garage floor. I immediately took the car to the Toyota dealer for service on 2/14/2009. I was told leaking was a common problem because the oe line used to carry fluid through the system was the wrong size. The dealer removed the incorrect line and replaced it with the recommended correct sized line. I was charged $78.26 for parts and service. …”
