Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Brought vehicle into dealer for routine service and maintenance. Service technicians informed me that the brake rotors were severely scorched and warped, and recommended immediate replacement of all pads and rotors. Technician asked if I tow a trailer or routinely haul heavy items, neither of which I have ever done; technician then asked if I ride my brakes when I drive, which I do not. …”
NHTSA complaint #11033165, filed 2017-10, 29,000 miles“Van would reboot while parked or driving. It started with dashboard rebooting then I couldn't start the van. There was a time after driving I put the van in park and turned it off but my van was moving on it's own. I always call the dealership when the rebooting occurs. I was told either it was a software issue or since the problem went away, I should be fine. Well recently when my van stalled and had to be towed to the dealership. I was told it was a battery issue and the battery was replaced. …”
NHTSA complaint #11152668, filed 2018-11, 33,400 miles“The vehicle was stationary and one day ABS malfunction light came on due to faulty harness on a 3 year old 35,000 mile vehicle. This reduces the ability of the vehicle to stop normally as it should this also disables the traction control on the vehicle. I was driving in rain without any traction control and it was scary. I contacted Toyota and they keep stating the car is out of warranty. It is $500+ repair to ABS system due to their faulty parts. I just need this to be on the record incase something happens while driving a Toyota Sienna.”
NHTSA complaint #11154193, filed 2018-11, 35,156 miles“When braking at speed exiting highway, brakes began vibrating. The siena has 19,300 miles on it. I took it to the dealer and was told the front rotors were warped. The car has not been subjected to extreme driving conditions and a warped rotors may not have been noticed by others. But the rotor after warping would invariably lead to cracked rotor or brake failure at some point and pose a hazard, possibly catastrophic failure and damage or injury. Luckily, I caught it before something serious happened. I think Toyota should look into premature failures.”
NHTSA complaint #10899334, filed 2016-08, 19,300 miles“While driving on the nys thruway with the cruise control activated my van came to an abrupt stop on the thruway. There were no vehicles in close proximity to my van that would have activated the radar cruise or the autonomous emergency braking system. After the abrupt stop all the lights on the dash were lit up ie: brake, ABS, pcs, slip indicator light, and master warning light. When I reached my destination I was unable to open the doors of my vehicle. Someone tried to open the doors from the outside of the vehicle and they were unable to open them as well. …”
