Example complaints

Fuel system: “My fuel pump has been replaced by the dealer with the recalled part. The vehicle still does the same thing it has been doing since purchasing. It acts like it is not getting gas so hesitates multiple times constantly while driving. Sometimes I pull out and there is a delay in the engine getting gas then it kicks in and is a jerky ride. It mostly happens below 45 MPH. I have felt the delay occasionally above 55 MPH. The problem is not the fuel pump that they are recalling since I already have the new one and the problem is not fixed.”

NHTSA complaint #11374055, filed 2020-11, 30,000 miles

Other or unknown: “The first weeks seemed like everything was fine with the vehicle until we started feeling low levels of electrical shocks. It was mostly on the steering wheel so we thought that the sensation would go away, but it actually started going worse to the point that we started having discomfort on the seatbelt and the last three weeks before we dropped the vehicle at the dealership the hazard started to intensify and get stronger. …”

NHTSA complaint #11319901, filed 2020-04, 7,000 miles

Transmission and drivetrain: “I was traveling on the Capital Beltway (495) during morning rush-hour in my 2019 Toyota Sienna Minivan. Normal Road Conditions: Stop & Go traffic in the right-most lane around 9:30am on December 14, 2022. All of a sudden and without warning, when attempting to accelerate and keep up with traffic after the vehicle was stopped, I found that I was unable to move forward. …”

NHTSA complaint #11497982, filed 2022-12

Body and structure: “The car was parked in a parking lot and turned off. We were entering the vehicle and the automatic side door of the van failed to reopen upon sensing something in the way. The door closed and someone's foot with shoe was caught in the closed door.”
