Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I stopped at a friends house. When I left, the car would not start. Dashboard mentioned my brakes, malfunction. I had the car towed to the dealership. I had brought the car in a few weeks earlier because my odometer started changing from trip a to total mileage every time I restarted the car. It didn't do that before. Also the clock randomly looks more like an error code than the time, it corrects itself after 10 min. Or so. I was told by the dealership that the odometer just changes back ( I told them it never did that before) and the clock was because of heat or cold. …”

“I just purchased the new 2018 chr. Driving home and car engine had a burning odor with exhaust fumes, and the engine shimmied. I pulled over as I thought the tire was flat. I went home and got my son. He checked the engine and it was over heated. I had only driven the new car 60 miles in 2 weeks. We drove to Toyota and all I could smell was a carbon monoxide odor in the car with exhaust fumes. I felt like I was going to pass out. The car is with Toyota for the weekend. I am filing this report, in case other car owners of chr have the same problem. …”

“Came out of work 7/24/18 and my back window on hatch had exploded. Both sides are blown out and the entire window was crystalized. There are no impact points showing anything hit the window. The glass blew out, not into the car. Drove it to dealership collision center in okc. They have the car and have given me a loaner. Their feeling is this is a manufacture defect, but someone from local Toyota has looked at it and said no. It is being escalated to decide if Toyota is liable and should pay for this repair. With this being a new model, I'm concerned this will be happening to others.”

“Front camera has gone out several times since purchasing august 2019. I've been told by the dealership it is sensitive to the heat. The ebs has failed twice since march 2020.. Both issues happened while in motion. The front bumper molding continues to separate due to cheap clips holding it to the frame per the tech at Toyota avondale, az.”

“Epb malfunction light warning comes on while driving. Has come on a total of 15 times since purchasing in 9/19. Dealership has not been able to determine issue. Front camera has gone out 7 times while driving since purchase, dealer states it's from the heat. Front bumper molding is loose due to warped clips used by Toyota per the dealer”
