Example complaints

“Driving down the interstate when there was a loud explosion. When we were able to stop, we saw that our sunroof had exploded. We were very lucky that the shade was closed on the window. There was nothing around us (vehicles, bridges, etc) to cause debris to hit the sunroof to cause the incident. This was an extremely scary thing that I have found out is not uncommon.”

Other symptoms include car stuttering and stalling out while driving. This last symptom is very dangerous as it often comes with no warning. When the car stalls out, the car is driving up straight up a medium grade hill. I have experienced this on several different dates and times along w 24th st. Austin, tx near 1106 w 24th st. This will happen if I'm either stopping at a light or while in motion. …”

NHTSA complaint #10956145, filed 2017-02, 18,500 miles“I would like you to consider the navigation system as a safety device. Toyota sells vehicles with outdated maps and charges over $200 for upgrades, which dealers are reluctant to provide. I consider accurate maps a safety concern and I suggest that map updates should be provided on at least an annual basis at a nominal (,$25) fee. The garmin policy would be a benchmark. Right now, my GPS is useless; cannot be trusted, and may lead me astray as it is not current. Tis is a safety item.”
