“On march 29, 2016, I was driving to work in the far left lane when a gentleman driving a green pickup truck come rushing up beside me. He was waving at me pointing down at the right front side of my Toyota. I thought that maybe I was driving on a flat tire and didn't realize it so I rolled down the window. He yelled as he was still pointing down at the front of my Toyota your car is on fire . He got ahead of me and I pulled over to the right shoulder of the freeway. …”
NHTSA complaint #10860196, filed 2016-04, 60,035 miles“After going through a puddle a plastic hose below driver seat broke. I replaced it from a dealer for $178. After a month or so check engine, vsc and 4wd lights came on. Checked with dealer and seems some problem with the charcoal cannister. And the cost to repair is around $1200. I am not sure why this much damage just by driving the car in a puddle? Very bad quality from Toyota.”
