“There are two pieces of accordian shaped trim that continually fall from inside the sunroof. I have had the dealership reinstall them - and they charged me. However, they continued to fall from the sunroof and they are now stored in the trunk. Poor design. Plus, not too safe having this rubber part fall onto your head while driving down the road. The adhesive on the part may not keep the part in its proper place, but the adhesive does do a good job sticking to my hair.”
NHTSA complaint #11326966, filed 2020-06, 110,932 miles“The front to back side rubber weatherstripping that moves with the sunroof as it opens and closes continues to fall off. There are two pieces like this, one on the driver's side the other on the passenger's side. The two pieces, each about 18 inches long and two inches wide, look like black rubber small accordions. While driving and opening or closing the sunroof, these strips fall off. Dealer has reinstalled multiple times, but they continue to loosen and fall off with the movement of the sunroof. …”

NHTSA complaint #11576871, filed 2024-03“My car has an sos system that notifies Toyota or their contractor if the car has been in an accident, summons law enforcement, tow truck, etc. I do not know what other safety issues are wrapped into it. It has a red warning light that goes on when it stops working. It has been into my local dealer three times to be repaired and each repair has failed immediately upon me picking it up again. Today, after the dealer worked on it, the decided that the cell system that is built into the car and is under the passenger seat needs to be replaced and will cost $2200.00. …”
NHTSA complaint #11297466, filed 2020-01“When driving and the sun is entering the main cabin, the tan interior portion of the dashboard is reflected on to the front side windows. This reflection of the tan portion of the dashboard interferes with a clear view of both outside mirrors. The view of traffic to either side of my vehicle is diminished, which has already resulted in one close call when changing lanes. Additionally, the lane-warning indicator lights that are part of the rear view mirrors are similarly diminished, reducing the flashing safety warnings that they provide. …”
