Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My lug nuts are swollen. This is apparently a common problem with Toyota because they use a two part lug nut design. Water gets between the two parts, swells and I cannot remove my tire. Thank goodness I was near a mechanic and not 60 miles nowhere. I could not get the wheel off the car with my car based tools.”
NHTSA complaint #11080175, filed 2018-03, 190,000 miles“Received safety recall #a9e a couple yr.s ago and had the recommended repair done on the spare tire carrier cable. Then received another notification in 10/15 that the original remedy procedure may not have been adequate. Informed that the new safety recall #e0s now supersedes a9e. Took van to dealer for this repair on 10/19/15. After mechanic began work he came to writer and asked where the spare tire was. Much to my surprise there was no longer a spare tire under the van-we have never had a need to use the spare and have no idea when it fell off. …”
