Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“There is a dead spot in the power steering when going straight. When you correct to maintain lane, the power steering kicks in and the car does a slight jerking motion in the direction of the turn. At 65 MPH on the highway, it becomes a job to maintain a lane on the highway. My dealership has had the car for almost a week and they know what it is doing, but they do not think there is a fix for it, nor do they see it as different from other vehicles. I have had the car since it came ordered directly from Toyota. I am the one that has put the 83000 miles on it. …”
