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.
For the 2nd time in 4 years, the air intake pump/valves have malfunctioned. The first time it happened it was covered under Toyota's extended warranty that covered this for 10 years/150,000 miles, whichever comes first. I just turned 156,000 miles, and Toyota doesn't want to cover it- they also said even if I was under 150,000 miles they wouldn't cover it because they'll only cover the repair one time (unless it fails again within 1year of the repair). The repair costs $2,000+- and is obviously not a permanent fix. This is a design flaw that although related to emissions, can become a safety issue because the vehicle reduces its power to 50% once this error code is triggered. Consumers deserve a permanent fix or warranty for the life of the vehicle if this design flaw can't be corrected, either that or a repair cost that is significantly less than $2,000. This problem occurs when starting and operating- a check engine light comes on as well as other lights.
