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.
Toyota has a lifetime guarantee regarding mufflers, exhaust pipes, shock absorbers, struts, and strut cartridges, it states that Toyota will replace parts and do labor for free of charge, however consumer had struts replaced and was not reimbursed.
At speeds of 25 mph or more the rear of the vehicle suddenly bounces sideways requiring immediate steering corrections constantly in order to aviod accidents. While driving in Wyoming at 72 mph, the rear wheels hit a crack in the pavemant causing the vehicle to bounce sideways and spin out of control and off the highway. I have since visited the dealer and learned that the shock mounts were defective and loose. I replaced the shocks and mounts/supports at a cost of over $1000 and still have the same problem. I am afraid to drive the car at speeds over 35 mph and considering selling it and buying a safer vehicle.
