Rack and pinion steering needed to be replaced/ leaking oil, and front strut support had to be repaired. Vehicle was rattling constantly from time of purchase. Also, had a brake problem. When brakes were applied there was sound. Only after brake pedal was applied a second time knocking sound stopped. In addition, driver's seat moved when making turns. Consumer felt unsafe in vehicle.

Vehicle hydroplanes on the slightest wet pavement. Also pulls to the left or right due to wrong tires on vehicle. Toyota refuses to replace the Bridgestone tires with an alternate make designed for this vehicle. Also ABS brakes engaged many times due to the sliding.
