Example complaints

Other or unknown: “I was driving on I-10 in louisiana (driving from texas to georgia) when I heard a loud gunshot noise. I pulled over and looked at my tires and around the body of the car and then looked up on the roof. The sunroof was shattered with a huge hole in the middle. I had a dog and 2 and 4 year old in my car. No overpasses or other cars around me. Nothing hit the car. It was a spontaneous shatter. No dramatic weather changes.”

NHTSA complaint #11195608, filed 2019-04, 71,000 miles

Body and structure: “1.the windscreen cannot resist tiny pieces of stone-like debris of about .001cm diameters that sometimes fall from bigger truck and trailer ahead of you. I have a problem of the description above (my windscreen has a tiny deformation as a result of unsuspected contact with such road hazards) of which I called Toyota and filed a complaint. I was told to take my car to dealership for inspection, they concluded that they will not cover it because it's external factor. This car in question is less than 12,000 miles when it occurred. …”

NHTSA complaint #10821915, filed 2016-01, 12,000 miles

Electrical system: “Front and rear parking assist sonar failed to work. The sonar failed to go off before hitting a 4 foot tall parking pole on passenger front bumper. Causing damage to the front bumper. Two days later a different driver backed into a 5 foot tall trash can on back driver bumper. Again, the sonar did not go off. The Toyota dealership said they knew it was frustrating, but their best advice was just to drive it like we didn't have sonar. We explained we bought the vehicle for it's safety devices. Having small children, sonar was a big part of our purchase decision. …”

NHTSA complaint #10836176, filed 2015-12, 5,991 miles

Fuel system: “My 2014 Toyota Sequoia is stalling at low speeds, I.e. When making u turns or slowing up and pressing the gas, there is a 5-7 second delay in the engine responding, this is causing a safety issue when you need to get out on a busy road and you don't have the power needed. I have spent several hundred dollars at the Toyota dealership with still no resolution and recently had the spark plugs replaced. I have read on newer models the fuel pumps have had a recall, but at this time not the 2014. Please note for the question below, when did this happen, its been going on now for over a year.”
