This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Driving on I-10 in the metarie, la area at speed limit, we heard a loud bang, then wind coming into the car. No other vehicles around us, we pulled to the side of the road and noticed that the sunroof had exploded. Sounded like a bomb went off when it happened. We returned to our hotel and taped the glass to prevent further glass fracture and spray to other vehicles on the road.
Auto suddenly braked to a stop for no apparent reason. Auto had been repaired for the recall, 15V728000, forward collision avoidance: Crash imminent braking. Has occurred twice in the last month. Have since deactivited the pre-collision system. Both occurrences happened while on cruise control, traveling at 55 mph in one case and 60 mph in the other. Both were on straight, level highways with no obvious cause. The 55 mph case was while cruise was set at 60 mph but cruise control was controlling at the lower speed to control the distance from the car ahead of me. The car ahead did not brake or slow down. There was no collision in either case. My diagnosis is that the repair for the above recall did not correct the problem.
NHTSA recall 15V728 involving pre-collision system. Over 6 months have passed since I received notice of this recall. To date nothing has been done to correct the problem other than telling me to turn off the pre-collision system. Both leaving it on or turning it off lessen the safety of the vehicle.
Air conditioning problem.in the morning when turn on the fan the air come out is very stint.during the day after using the air conditioning, stop the car.when you start the car again then open the fan the air come out has a foul odor.complain 3 times during 2014-2015, as Toyota recommend changing the air filter using the carbon one, clean up the air conditioning system, clean the whole car, the stint still exist.every morning when we start operate the car we have to inhale the foul odor causing headache.very frustration but Toyota still said it was nothing wrong with the car and the technician did not smell anything after testing the car.I was happened after the first car schedule maintenance.
When turning on the air conditioner in summer after the car has been sitting for a few hours or overnight; there is a musty, urine type smell. I did what Toyota service recommended by not recirculating the air; which we rarely do unless dusty. The system default is for recirculating air and we switch it over right away to fresh air when we start the vehicle. We changed the cabin filter to a Toyota charcoal filter which was recommended by Toyota which helped for only a few days we are concerned this maybe linked to a mold problem etc.
