What owners wrote
Dt: the interior door handle on driver's side door fractured with very minor force. There were no previous problems with the door handle, this was the first incident. Took vehicle to a dealership, who did not have part in stock. The part itself was plastic, no metal reinforcement. However, consumers felt the part should be metal. Vehicle had not been repaired at this time. Consumer did contact toyota's complaint line and filed a complaint with the company.
Trac,vsc, brake light had been coming on and then going out. This particular incident involved them coming on during a turn into traffic at which time all power was lost nearly causing an accident. Dealer treated this as 2 different problems:an induction service was performed for the "hesitation" at my expense, and a brake booster gasket and assembly were installed under the warranty.
