Example complaints

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

“Front Left Side Headlight Mount is Broken on my Vehicle. On Internet also many consumers are complaining about the Left Headlight mount Broken but no support from Toyota. Feel Safe but not sure when this Headlight might come out of the vehicle. This issue is there and already inspected by the Dealer but they dont care to cover under warranty.”

NHTSA complaint #11679346, filed 2025-08

“The tail lights on the SE version are way too small. We have had numerous instances on near rear end collisions due to the size and placement of the SE model tail lights. They are tiny and they only offer much larger, safe taillights on the XSE model. Really do not even understand how the SE taillight configuration is legal.”

NHTSA complaint #11699082, filed 2025-11

“Taillamps are inadequate at night. You can barely see these cars ahead because the taillamps are only lit up by a tiny dot of red light at the corner of each taillamp at night. Drivers of these vehicles are in danger of being rammed at night.”
