“The vehicle Parking / Backup / Cross Traffic assist warnings do not work unless the objects are within approx 2 feet of the car. When backing up there is no warning of any on coming traffic or a child behind the car. If a individual is at the rear of the car there is no visible or audible warnings. Only warning is either seeing the individual in the rear window or on the camera. This has been brought to the manufactures attention and they say this is the normal operation. All other cars I have had cross traffic and pedestrian alerts have visual and audible alerts. The car says that it is suppose to have them.”Owner report · Forward Collision Avoidance · Nov 2024
“There was a beep and then my dashboard went completely blank (was just dark) so I couldn't see any information such as how many miles per hour I was driving or how much gas I had or my navigational information or what gear I was in. Then the dashboard came back on and it said there was reduced driver assitance (but did not say what was wrong). The dealer says my dashboard should not have gone blank but they can't fix it since not sure why. This is very dangerous and should be addressed.”Owner report · Electrical System · Feb 2022
“I scheduled an appointment to get an oil change and recall issue taken care of by a Toyota dealership near me. I dropped it off in the morning and when I called to check up on it in the afternoon they did not even begin to work on the car. I had picked it up because they said they were unable to get to it. Keep in mind they were still working on other cars that were simply pulling in. I had scheduled my appointment a week prior to get this issue taken care of. Now I am putting my safety at risk because they failed to take care of the issue.”Owner report · Service Brakes · Nov 2021

“Windshield cracks from very very tiny knick, about the size of 1/2 of a grain of salt. I am in multiple toyota supra groups in facebook and numerous people have complained about this issue. I feel the windshield doesn't meet safety regulations for impacts. The windshields appear to look like a single pane of glass, not laminated double pane.”Owner report · Visibility/Wiper · Feb 2021
