“I had a car accident on january 15, 2021. My car was totaled and none of my air bags deployed. My emergency brake sensor didn't go off as well which usually always goes of for any minimal close object. Because of my air bag not deploying I cut my lip outside and inside going to the hospital and getting a stitch in the inside of my lip. I had a hole the width of a dime from hitting the steering wheel and bled non stop from my nose and lip/mouth. The hospital has in my chart the picture of the hole.”

NHTSA complaint #11165088, filed 2019-01, 17,000 miles“When the cruise control is set and I go down hill my car increases the speed by 8 mph faster than the set speed. My car also makes a loud grinding noise when it does this. I spoke with different Toyota auto employees and some say that the increase in speed and noise are normal and others say the opposite. I have been in many cars driving with cruise control on and never experienced this.”
NHTSA complaint #11693823, filed 2025-10“I was traveling on the interstate home from work one night, I was kinda tired, I put on my turning signal to let the person behind me know I was getting in the right lane know when all of a sudden a car sped by, the blind spot warnings didn’t come on at all, as a matter of fact I only saw them appear only twice since I had this car and they haven’t been on since and I’ve had this car for a week and two days, that’s an accident waiting to happen.”
NHTSA complaint #11457615, filed 2022-03“I had to drive around 600 miles to and from family funeral. As others have reported the cruise control on a down hill slope goes out of control. As I reached the top of a hill and started down the cruise control would accelerate to 4000 RPM ( it is really loud) the speed would start increasing and go 15-20 MPH over what the cruise control speed was set at. I had to turn off the cruise control to regain control over the speed. I was afraid that something might happen if I did not. Where it seemed my car should down shift it was not. Something is wrong with the programming of the cruise control. …”
