“In january of 2010 the cable for the spare tire carrier froze up and would not operate. As a result, I purchased and replaced the spare tire carrier in january of 2010.

“Tried to open my driver side sliding door and the cable just snapped. Now I can't even open my door.I have a car seat on the side that works and my kids have to jump over the car seat or get out the front doors. It's not safe at all and it's too expensive for me to fix as a single mother with 3 children.”

“My van was parked on the drive way. Suddenly I saw gasoline flowing from below of the van. There were not much gasoline left. Somehow I could manage to take to the nearest Toyota dealer. He said that it must be water drainage from AC system. After driving 200 meters it stops completely. I brought gasoline in a jar and car started but saw that the gasoline is dripping from below. Again gave back to Toyota dealer to take a look.”
