“Numerous times over the last couple of months my cars eps light will come on after putting my car into reverse the car does not connect and goes into neutral instead causing the car to roll forward creating hazards because it happens on hills and flat areas. I then have to put my car into park, turn it off and restart the car to get the car to go into the correct gear. I have taken the car to Toyota but they won?t do anything because my VIN is not under recall. Starting in 2019 I started noticing flakes of paint in cracks of doorways and creases of the car. …”
