“On sunday, august 4th drove approximately 3 miles down route 650 on new hampshire avenue, silver spring, md. Stopped at the atm enroute to church. Got back into the vehicle and travelled approximately 1 mile proceeding to the east west highway exit on left. Suddenly the car started making a pulling or straining noise. I was shocked since the car was brand new and I had recently just purchased the car. Suddenly the car locked and I had no control of it. I indicated to the car in back to go around me. …”
NHTSA complaint #11241985, filed 2019-08, 1,700 miles“This morning (11/19/2020) at approximately 4:50am I turned on my car and sat in the driveway to let it warm up. Usually while it warms up I get my bluetooth connected and get my music going, but this time it wouldn't connect. I figured my husband had been playing around with the settings again so I had him come outside to look at it. It still wouldn't even bring up our phones so I shut the car off, waited maybe 30 seconds and turned it back on. This time it brought up our phones but still wouldn't connect and a message popped up on the screen saying unable to connect- unknown error . …”
NHTSA complaint #11375457, filed 2020-11, 25,095 miles“I went to the dealership to get my safety recall fixed and i was informed that my safety recall cannot be fixed. This is a problem because I am risking my life every time I drive this car I want to know if getting a lawyer to resolve this issue is the best solution to getting this problem solved”
NHTSA complaint #11447638, filed 2022-01“I got new tires and took the car for an alignment. I am constantly having to slightly correct my steering wheel. One to three degrees to the left and right at any speed the entire time I am driving. It was setup for the diagnostic test and the technician came back in less than five minutes. To tell me that there is nothing wrong with my alignment and everything was at factory spec. So I told him to drive it and tell me that there is nothing wrong with my car. He came back looking shocked and said that was weird. Like driving on wet glass. So he started to ask me questions. …”
NHTSA complaint #11462368, filed 2022-04“From july 2020 - jan 2021, I experienced my vehicle cranking but not starting on multiple occasions. I took it in several times to be fixed, but the problem was intermittent and could not be duplicated. However, the last time I picked it up from Toyota (problem could not be duplicated), it happened and I called the service advisor over, and he even tried turning it, but it wouldn't start. The solution was the key fob. I inquired how they knew it was the key fob, but they did not give me an answer. February 2021 it started to happen again..but has not occurred as of march 2021. …”
