Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“After about 60,000 miles my check engine light illuminates with code p0012 every 1,000 miles and when I take it to technician they find nothing wrong after resetting. Then again it randomly appears and has been doing such for the last 10,000 miles. Frustrating. Also the front brakes squeal everytime I touch the brake pedal regardless of which pads I use or if they are new or used.”
NHTSA complaint #11302625, filed 2020-01, 60,000 miles“On saturday, june 6, 2015, my 2014 Toyota Sienna limited automatically brake with very significant force while the cruise control was engaged at approximately 45 MPH. No vehicles or obstacles were ahead and I was driving on a straight and relatively level street that has a 45 MPH speed limit. This problem also occurred many, many times in the first several months after purchasing this vehicle new in april 2014. …”
NHTSA complaint #10724247, filed 2015-06, 19,100 miles“On 8/2/18, while driving my 2014 Toyota Sienna van, bought new from a local dealer with appr. 89,000 miles and meticulously maintained for all service, I was driving on a city street when the brakes failed after pumping them three times. The brake failure caused my vehicle to rear-end the vehicle I was following. No injuries, but the van was totaled. No citation was issued by norman, ok. Police, accident report #2018-57682. Passengers in my van witnessed the brake failure.”
NHTSA complaint #11120366, filed 2018-08, 89,000 miles“At random and intermittently the brake pedal feel changes from firm to mushy with the pedal traveling to or near the floor during the stopping. Also at random and intermittently the car can be stopped with the brake pedal applied lightly to prevent car movement when the pedal suddenly slowly begins dropping and will go down to the floor. I have had no accident from either brake failure condition, but several times I felt ready to go into crash avoidance mode when there was the chance that this might also might be on the verge of loosing braking action. …”
NHTSA complaint #10785861, filed 2015-10, 6,400 miles“Vehicle was stationary, bought from the dealership in feb (present month: sept). Less than 53k. One day instrument cluster was clear, drove home in the rain. The next morning I went out to go to work the speedometer was non-functional, ABS, vsc, trac, eps lights were all on and the exclamation mark was lit also. The car ran fine. At the dealership now; dealership says that it is the ABS actuator. It's bad. How does the ABS actuator of a car that isn't five years old bad? They say it will cost $3258.04 to fix ...and of course, out of warranty. …”
