Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My car has been unable to pass the emissions test. My mechanic has done everything under code p0401-EGR insufficient flow and has spoken with Toyota but no one can figure out what the problem is. In speaking with others and reading many accounts of others having the same problem, we wonder why there hasn't been a recall. Driving illegally is terrible, but some of us who are poor, are forced to do so. Toyota is aware of the problem but does nothing to help us Toyota owners.”
