What owners wrote

This VIN number was totaled due to a bent frame after being rear ended on June 10th. I fear my insurance company (USAA) will attempt to commit fraud by not reporting the title as salvage.

June 2022 CrashInjury

The daytime running lights have burned into the inner areas of my headlight assemblies and it continues to get worse. Seeing as they cannot be turned off and they continue to get worse I fear they may one day cause a fire or further damage. I have talked to the dealer, toyota corporate and they will do nothing and show no concern for the issue, I drive alot of miles and purchased a toyota due to dependability.
