“My wife and I drove from austin texas to arkadelphi arkansas due to me getting out of the army'active' and my truck had been slowly studderjng, spitting etc.. Well it is stalled at a parking lot for a week now.. There is a recall for the 'crankshaft position sensor' for my exact mode and Toyota will not honor my truck for it and that's the code it's reading etc..”
NHTSA complaint #11157209, filed 2018-12, 73,000 miles“My bsm sensors were blinking and a notice came up on the console to check bsm indicators. I manually turned off this function and back on---the light was blinking and the bsm sensors were still not working correctly. When I brought it in the dealership today they did some tests and looked at it and said they needed to replace the bsm wire harness because of water damage getting into the rear bumper. The estimate was for 1,0588.49 for repare. I think if Toyota is selling blind spot monitors as a safety feature, they should last more than 2 years and needs to be recalled. …”
NHTSA complaint #11156655, filed 2018-12, 45,000 miles“On 11/23/15 I was able to take possession of the vehicle. On 11/24/15 I got into the vehicle to crank it up when the vehicle's warning lights of brake, ABS warning to check the anti'lock brake system and check brake system and the antiskid/traction lights came on at approximate 110 miles. I immediately called the dealership and was told that it would not hurt the vehicle to drive it and that it was safe. I was told that it was probably just a fuse by a salesperson, who allegedly talked to one of the master technicians about the situation. …”
