“Car was new when I picked up at dealer. Have been back with driver door window problem over six times. At this time the window seal is loose and the window will not close. It is sad to pay 56k and still can't get things fixed...security is a safety problem and I have it.”

I took it to Toyota june 8th 2023 to get an oil change, and mechanic said my rear stable bar is missing due to excessive rot and the entire frame is rotted out and is not safe to drive, I am spending $1800.00 to get the AC recharged and rear brakes done. …”
