Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Driving with cruise control at 30 MPH, the engine light turned on , and suddenly the engine shut down, no brakes and no power steering. I went to turn right at the nearest available side street so I would get out of the way of traffic. As I was trying to turn right, the steering wheel was very hard to turn and I ended up on the wrong side of road and impeding traffic. Luckily the road was slightly uphill and the truck was able to come to a stop. I then applied the emergency brake and turned the key to the off position. …”
NHTSA complaint #11268048, filed 2019-10, 17,511 miles“Less than 3000 miles when incident happened. While driving at 55 MPH on a highway the dash screen said brake and a chime was heard. It was late evening 3 days ago and their was absolutely no other vehicles around me. My initial reaction was to brake however I did not. It also happened two additional times at about 45 MPH on the final few miles from my home. The indicator did not stay on long enough to get a photo of it. When I returned home I filed a case with Toyota USA. I then called them the next day. Today I contacted the dealer about taking it in for the to check. …”
NHTSA complaint #11195636, filed 2019-04, 2,900 miles“While driving with the adaptive cruise control set a message will appear radar cruise control unavailable clean sensor . This message will appear with no adverse weather conditions. Due to this error the cruise control no longer works and the pre-collision warning system no longer works. Also randomly a brake! Message will appear and the vehicle automatically slams on the brakes when no emergency exists creating a hazard for vehicles behind.”
NHTSA complaint #11175851, filed 2019-02, 5,233 miles“Flashing front amber turn signal lights are not adequately visible to other drivers when drl or headlights are on. Due to this other drivers often don't see turn signal from the front of the vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #11302902, filed 2020-01, 12,000 miles“The electrical system malfunctioned, causing all warning lamps on the dashboard to light up. Because this happened while I was driving, I do believe that this electrical issue caused safety concerns for others on the road. The taillights went out first, seconds later, all remaining electrical failed at once, including airbags, windows, headlights at one point, pre collision warning lights, lane departure, and the breaking system failed as well. This caused safety concerns for myself, my passenger, as well as the public because all safety warning sensors failed at once while on the road. …”
