“I was just leaving work and when I went to go start my car as usual and the windshield wipers went crazy and came on out of nowhere. My radio was blaring very loud and I never had it on to begin with! I've always heard Toyota had some really good vehicles I hope this was just a one time deal and I can get it fixed soon! Other than that great car!”
