What owners wrote
I was driving 15 MPH in 33 degree temp. I gave it a little gas at the bottom of a small hill and my car went in to a fish tail. I corrected this about 6 times before I could not recover. My car hit the ditch on the passenger side and flipped on it's roof. Prior to the accident my wheel would almost take control of the car between above 30 MPH. The car would swerve all over my lane. I thought this was just me, now I see many others have this problem also. Question being.....
This vehicle has had the water pump go out the brakes the alternator has had problems with the emergency brakes the air bag has had the struts replaced the gas lever stopped working and now the trunk release won't work I have replaced now 5 tires because one blow right after I got the car and now my car has just 85 thousand miles on it. I have heard so many good things about toyota but this is the worst car I have ever own I will never buy or advise anyone to buy a toyota again.
