What owners wrote
Entering a driveway at 2MPH the car accelerated to approximately 30MPH and struck a brick wall. The air bags deployed causing injury and the car was totaled.
When driving between 25 to 40 MPH the car shudder and the engine vibrates. I believe it have something to do with the gears and I hope toyota will fix it for free.
