Example complaints

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

“I noticed my steering wheel was not responding as normal and was making noises. Power steering pump for my 2006 Toyota solara was leaking fluid and needed to be replaced between 58 - 59 k miles. I strictly follow the maintenance schedule for the car and my car is always serviced by the dealership that I purchased the vehicle from.”

“This complaint is being made on the behalf of my father (who does not have internet access). My father's 2006 Toyota solara has a failure with the steering u joint shaft. He has made repeated complaint's to Toyota, and they refuse to take care of the issue at their own expense.”

NHTSA complaint #10332250, filed 2010-05, 33,911 miles

“Yesterday, july 26, 2015, I received in the mail a second letter from Toyota motor sales customer experience department regarding the warranty enhancement program - ze6 concerning the replacement of the sticky dashboard of some make and model. Mine is a 2006 Toyota solara. It's ridiculous why the warranty enhancement is only for the sticky dashboard when the steering wheel and inside door panels are made of the exact same material. These parts must be covered as well especially we touch these parts every single time we use the vehicle. …”

“The VSC continues to come on which in turn causes the ck engine light to come on. There needs to be a recall on this issue. I have been researching it, and finding it a problem for so so many customers.”
