A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
My mother was in an accident that cost her life. The black box on the car says that there was a malfunction in the power steering that caused the car to pull sharply to the left. This caused her to hit a concrete median at highway speeds where her airbag failed to deploy. Her spine broke in 4 places and suffered 7 broken ribs.
On August 19, 2026, due to my seizure, my car hit another car, then fence, and finally trees in a backyard. I had fractures in my brow bone, breast, ribs, and backbone because of the hit. My wife and daughter in the back seat also had serious injuries. The side airbag came out but front airbag didn’t. The malfunction of front airbag risked my and my families’ life.
When first purchased the vehicle noticed a sound coming from the right rear area when turning into a driveway or driving on a bumpy road or speed bump and thought it would go away. But recently noticed that the sound has become louder so brought it into toservco toyota honolulu on12/5/18. They determined that the sound was from the moonroof. It happens when I turn the steering wheel at a certain angle and go over a bump or rough road.
