Example complaints

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

“I recently purchased a Toyota Grand Highlander just two days ago, and I’m experiencing a serious issue that is affecting my ability to drive the vehicle safely. At speeds between 25–40 mph, there is a significant cabin boom and echo inside the vehicle. This creates a pressure sensation in my ears, causing nausea, disorientation, and physical discomfort. I’ve only driven about 50 miles, and the symptoms are severe enough that I cannot continue driving the vehicle.”

“The seal around my moon roof keeps coming out & now when it rains, it's coming through my car and ruining my seats. my seats are always soaked when it rains.”

NHTSA complaint #11773115, filed 2026-10

“Bought the vehicle in October 2025 everything was going fine. I went away for a few days came back and the A/C was not working. I took it to the dealership where I purchased it and was told outside influence and they refused to repair unless I pay $1900. I have bumper to bumper coverage for 5 years, My point is for a SUV that is costing over $50,000. If the condenser is such a sensitive piece of equipment it shouldn't not be placed in front of the vehicle unprotected. This is a design flaw because the SUV is made to be driven on the highway.”

NHTSA complaint #11745755, filed 2026-06

“Summary: While turning into my driveway, the vehicle surged forward unexpectedly as I moved my foot from the accelerator to the brake pedal. The brake pedal felt normal, and none of the vehicle’s safety systems appeared to activate. The vehicle struck my husband’s parked car and then my garage door, damaging both, and I sustained minor injuries. Details: On 10/8/26, at approximately 5:58PM, I was driving home from work and turning into my two-car driveway. I normally park to the left of my husband’s vehicle, which was parked in the driveway. …”
