“According to Toyota the exact same engine that is in my vehicle has a recall on it. However, since my vehicle has also had a hybrid system installed my engine is not covered. Basically, because the hybrid system offers the engine power relief there saying that the engine is okay which is not true. The same engine is the same engine. The faults of the engine in non-hybrids is the same faults in the hybrid just undiscovered as of yet. A recall should be made in order to update the hybrid engines as well because they contain the at fault parts as the non-hybrid engines.”Owner report · Engine · Jun 2026
“When driving down steep grade, (mountain pass) front brakes will begin to vibrate violently. Very scary when driving the vehicle. When you reach the bottom of the steep incline, the brakes begin to function normally again. I have had this happen on 3 different occasions. I informed the dealership of this but they didn't see anything abnormal when they inspected the brakes. The did not attempt to reproduce the problem as there are no extended steep grades nearby to drive down. There were no warning lamps displayed.”Owner report · Service Brakes · Jun 2025
“After exiting the vehicle on 3/7/2025, I opened the rear passenger door (driver’s side) to get my son out of his carseat. I noticed the seatbelt was not attached at the base. In other words, the seatbelt mechanism was not attached to the vehicle. See photos. The black cover which conceals the bolt that holds the seatbelt to the vehicle was also detatched. On 3/10/25 we brought the vehicle to Mechanicsville Toyota and they have requested to keep it overnight. There were no warning lamps or other signs of failure. The seatbelt bolt was not torqued properly at the factory.”Owner report · Seat Belts · Mar 2025

“The plastic panel underneath the driver’s seat has cracked and broken a SECOND time, despite being repaired at Toyota dealership. Toyota customer care was contacted and while they admitted this is a known issue and they are aware it is happening repeatedly, even after a few months after being replaced there is no fix in sight and they will not cover the repair. Size should not matter but I am a smaller person and not applying excess force when seated. I am worried about SAFETY as a secure seat that doesn’t move and break while buckled should be expected and required.”Owner report · Seats · Feb 2025
“The fuel door does not stay open. It flaps around. This issue becomes problematic while attempting to refuel and insert the fuel nozzle while fighting with the fuel door. On numerous occasions, I was the wind forcing the fuel door closed while trying to insert the fuel nozzle and I depressed the trigger on accident, resulting in fuel spillage.”Owner report · Fuel/Propulsion System · Dec 2024
