Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“While running errands directly after having the vehicle serviced for a check engine light staying on for previous four days, the engine stuttered, then would not start after having been off for a few minutes. The service performed had found that the EGR valve was faulty, and a new one installed, but the subsequent symptoms were not related to the EGR at all. Engine would not turn over, but could be rotated counter-clockwise manually. When rotated clockwise, it would only go as far as it had been when stopped. …”

NHTSA complaint #10197410, filed 2007-07, 175,179 miles

“1994 Toyota Truck, brought in for inspection and to fix blown head gasket. Truck is un-serviceable because of frame rot. It cannot pass inspection, or be registered. This is the same issue with the 1995 Toyota trucks. Toyota should cover the 1994 for the same issue. The frames are the exact same.”
