Example complaints

“I was driving home from work, this guy in a blue hyundai would stay in his lane, so I sped up to get around him, in turn he started racing me, so I went a bit faster to get around him, was about to round the corner so I went to slow down and my rear end fishtail, I hit the guardrail and spun out. Both my crumple zones on the back and front were affected but my airbags did not deploy! Thankfully I'm just really sore and not seriously injured!”
NHTSA complaint #11414801, filed 2021-05, 233,000 miles“The hood has been popping up when driving... This has happened on numerous occasions. Usually I open the hood and slam it down and its ok for a while lately it happened more times. I took it to the service garage and they said it looked fine.. ( but it could be a cable??) although there is a safety latch when it pops its still very scary when you are driving because you don't know when it will happen. Not sure what maybe the cause of this?”
NHTSA complaint #11072878, filed 2018-02, 88,000 miles“I have owned this car for about 5 years; my grandfather gave it to me, so it's only had two owners. Low miles (80,000). I am replacing the driver's exterior door handle for the third time and passenger's exterior for the second time. The exterior handles merely snap off. I wish Toyota would offer replacement handles made of metal rather than plastic. This may eliminate the problem. The state I live in requires a yearly vehicle inspection and due to the broken handles, my car failed yesterday.”
NHTSA complaint #10720976, filed 2015-05, 79,000 miles“Original ignition key will not start car. Has been difficult for about a month. Luckily it totally failed in my own driveway. We just returned from a long trip. Same thing happened to trunk lock 2 years ago. I had to pay about $250.00 to have it fixed at my dealer. Expect larger bill for ignition. Dealer will not order new ignition lock until I have it towed in.bought car at same dealer. Locks seem to be a weak point on this model Toyota. Can I get help from somebody?”
NHTSA complaint #10199335, filed 2007-08, 68,490 miles“The outside plastic part of the drivers side door handle snapped off in my hand this morning. I cut my finger on the metal under the plastic covering.”
