Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The front door locks no longer operate by remote. This is not a remote problem since my rear door locks do respond. I believe the front door lock actuators have failed on both the driver and passenger sides. The repairs for this will cost hundreds of dollars. There is currently a class action lawsuit in california. I think this is a wide spread problem.”
NHTSA complaint #11222218, filed 2019-06, 74,000 miles“On dec. 1, my radio/ipod system malfunctioned. I was not able to go from am to fm to my ipod. Toyota replaced the radio unit with a rebuilt unit. On dec. 31, the entire system failed. The display screen is black; thus in addition to not having any sound system, the back up camera cannot display what is behind me.”
