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.
The front headlights do not illuminate road properly. They have been adjusted by the dealer at least four times. The lights still do not illuminate the road properly and are a safety concern. Front suspension shakes aggresively (often at highway speeds) making driving very dangterous. Several attempts to correct by dealer. Problem still occurs. All four tires wore completely out in less than 12,000 miles. Front end pulled strongly to right. Dealer tried to corred several times. Front end now pulls to the left. Rear end "bangs" and "bottoms out" often while at speed. Dealer suggested that this safety concern is "typical" of this car. The transmission has failed to hold car while on an incline at least twice. Was not able to duplicate for dealer. Rear door has never closed properly. Dealer has attampted several reapirs. Door still "creeks and pops" when opened.
Excessive wear of brake pads and front rotors; at 10,000 miles dealer had to replace front rotors and pads. Currently, at 21,000 miles, problem reoccurred. Problem with headlight not aligned. Dealer informed that vehicle met manufacturer's specification and nothing else could be done. Also, water pump failure. Dealer notified, and repairs being made. Consumer states that the transmission fluid is not good and Toyota refuses to test the fluids.
Vehicle experiences ongoing problem with headlights unableto adjust properly. Left side always appears to be adjusted too far down, more then the right side. Vehicle been in/out of dealer shop on five occasions, and nothing can be found wrong.
