NHTSA complaint #10578838, filed 2014-04, 24,800 miles“This has now occurred twice and has been repaired multiple times. The 1st time happened a few weeks after being purchased. I was traveling approx 45-50mph, began breaking for a yellow light when suddenly the woman in front of me stopped short of the light. To avoid hitting her I had to break firm but not slamming on the breaks. I stopped about a car length short of her and then felt an impact. I assumed I had been hit from behind by another driver but there was no car there. …”
NHTSA complaint #10807993, filed 2015-12, 40,000 miles“I drove only 1975 mileage but my van makes unbearable noise from 3rd row seat. I took to Toyota service station twice but I was told it is manufacturing defect and Toyota couldn't find solution for this problem. I sent out email to Toyota but didn't hear from them yet I paid about $ 44,000.00 for this van. Driving this car I feel I punish my self everyday. I am looking for help to get it fixed.”
