    Sunroof glass blew off of the vehicle on the highway yesterday. I see numerous reports of this on the internet. Was there ever a tsb or recall for this issue from toyota? Dangerous and scary, happened in traffic.

    On 11/17/2015 i hit a parking island in an unlit parking lot. When i tried to stop, my brakes failed. This caused me to lose control of the vehicle and it hit 2 parked cars and a tree. I have lost wages and live in pain every day due to injuries from this accident.

    I am sole owner of this vehicle since bought it new and well maintain it. Dashboard and steering wheel are peeling and gooey. Toyota service dealership told me nothing they can do about it and asked me to call toyota. I called and filed a complaint no. 1709121290 with toyota. They told me they had recalls on other models but not this one so it seems this is not a new issue for them. They don't want to fix it.

    The driver's side sun visor suddenly dropped down into my field of view when i hit a bump on a three lane [redacted] at rush hour. I nearly rear-ended the vehicle in front of me during the short time (maybe two seconds) required to react and raise the visor. An online search revealed that a replacement visor costs a shocking $791.00, and that many dozens of others were reporting this problem in 2001 - 2009 toyota…

    Front mud guards torn at mounting bolts. Nothing was done to damage the items. Dealer states this is normal wear and tear. Vehicle only has 28000 miles. Note: dealer went ahead and replaced mudguard at their expense.*ak

    The center cupholders are poorly designed and are a safety hazard. When you are removing a drink from the cupholder, it hits the gearshift lever knocking the drink out of your hand and causing it and its contents to go all over the place. On occasion, it knocks the gearshift lever out of gear causing a rapid deacceleration of the vehicle.e
