Example complaints

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

“I purchased a 2014 Toyota Prius on may 31, 2014. Today 6/18/14 I found out there was a recall on this model vehicle. I called Toyota and I was informed the recall service had not been performed. I called a local dealer (different from the one where I purchased the vehicle) and they informed me that when they pulled the VIN, it showed stop sale in effect. I do not blame Toyota as obviously if one dealer could see the stop sale so could the other. I think that there should be stricter regulations on dealerships to make sure these recalls are completed before the sale!! …”
