Electrical system, Other or unspecified, Engine, Jul 1, 2015, fire
THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED AND STALLED, I STEERED IT TO THE ROADSIDE TO CALL FOR A TOW. SPEAKING WITH INSURANCE TOW SERVICE THE CAR STARTED TO SMOKE FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE UNDER THE HOOD. AS I SUPPLIED INFORMATION THE SMOKE VOLUME INCREASED FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE UNDER THE HOOD. SMOKE VOLUME CONTINUED TO INCREASE AND A CRACKLING/BURNING SOUND STARTED. I TOLD THE AGENT I HAVE TO GO AND CALLED 911. I SUPPLIED DETAILS OF THE AREA WHERE THE INCREASING SMOKE WAS COMING FROM, THE CAR LOCATION AND MY STATUS. IN THE CAR I PULLED THE HOOD LEVER, WENT OUTSIDE AND STOPPED SHORT OF OPENING THE HOOD. REALIZING I HAD NO MEANS TO PUT OUT THE INCREASING FIRE I HAD TO WATCH MY CAR BURN UNTIL FIREFIGHTERS ARRIVED. I WALK A DISTANCE AWAY AND WAITED, WHILE THE WHOLE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WENT UP IN SMOKE....UPDATED 09/22/15 *BF UPDATED 11/06/2017*CN
Other or unspecified, May 15, 2015
MY CAR HAS BEEN UNABLE TO PASS THE EMISSIONS TEST. MY MECHANIC HAS DONE EVERYTHING UNDER CODE P0401-EGR INSUFFICIENT FLOW AND HAS SPOKEN WITH TOYOTA BUT NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. IN SPEAKING WITH OTHERS AND READING MANY ACCOUNTS OF OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, WE WONDER WHY THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL. DRIVING ILLEGALLY IS TERRIBLE, BUT SOME OF US WHO ARE POOR, ARE FORCED TO DO SO. TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT DOES NOTHING TO HELP US TOYOTA OWNERS.

MY ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE I'VE HAD THIS CAR , 2001. NO ONE COULD EVER TELL ME WHY THE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON ALL THIS TIME UNTIL I TOOK IT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULDN'T DO IT BECAUSE I HAD A SEVERE OIL LEAK. THIS CAR NOW NEEDS HEAD GASKETS. IT SEEMS TO BE A TOYOTA PROBLEM. *TR
Power train, Engine, Feb 28, 2014
I USED THE DATE OF 2/23/2013 BECAUSE THAT IS WHEN THE PROBLEM BECAME FULL BLOWN BUT ABOUT 2 MONTHS BEFORE THAT DATE THE CAR BEGAN SURGE WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN GEAR AFTER BEING PARKED AND WHILE AT A STOP SIGN. IT SOUNDED THEN AND STILL SOUNDS LIKE A FLY WHEEL OR SOMETHING UNDER THE HOOD IS RUNNING AT A VERY HIGH RATE OF SPEED. IF I HAD NOT HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE IT FELT AS THOUGH I WOULD HAVE GONE FORWARD INTO THE CAR AHEAD OF ME. FINALLY ON 2/23/2013 THE CAR STARTED SURGING AND THEN HESITATING NON-STOP. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND BEGAN TO BLINK SO I CREPT BACK HOME WITH FEAR. WHEN THE CAR HESITATES IT FEELS AS THOUGH IT LOSES POWER AND THERE'S A BACKFIRING SOUND IN THE REAR. I TOOK THE CAR TO AAA, THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC ON THE COMPUTER AND I HAD THE IGNITION COIL AND SPARK PLUGS CHANGED BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THE SURGING AND HESITATION HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS IN GEAR (BOTH DRIVE AND REVERSE) BUT NOT IN NEUTRAL OR PARK AND IT IS CONSTANT. I HAVE A FEAR THAT EITHER THE CAR WILL SURGE AHEAD WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND I WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR BE KILLED BECAUSE THE CAR MAY JUST COMPLETELY STOP. I CONTACTED TOYOTA CORPORATE OFFICE ON 2/28/2014 TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL AND TO ASK IF THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID NO TO BOTH QUESTIONS, BUT I SEE THAT'S NO TRUE. *TR

Electrical system, Exterior lighting, Service brakes, Jan 27, 2013
SYMPTOMS: 1. REAR LIGHTS OFF WARNING COMES ON THE DASHBOARD 2. CHECK WARNING LIGHT COMES ON WITH CODE 1780. (NEUTRAL SWITCH ON THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS A PROBLEM) 3. NO BRAKE LIGHTS OR REVERSE LIGHT ON IN THE TRUNK AREA ONLY WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. 4. BRAKES VIBRATE WHEN SLOWING DOWN AROUND 10MPH TO STOP LIKE YOUR TIRES ARE RIDING A VERY ROUGH SURFACES. 5. REVERSE LIGHT COMES ON IN THE SHIFT GEAR INDICATOR WHEN APPLYING BRAKES TO SHIFT FROM PARK POSITION. INITIAL ATTEMPT TO FIX THIS PROBLEM: CHANGING THE REVERSE LIGHT BULBS AND BRAKE LIGHT BULBS, BUT PROBLEMS CONTINUE TO REMAIN AS DESCRIBE IN THE SYMPTOMS. 2ND ATTEMPT BY MIKE GERBER FROM WEBSITE WWW:\\AUTOMOTIVEFORUMS.COM. HE REPORTED THERE IS A LOOSE WIRES CONNECTION OR FRAYED WIRES AT THE HINGE OF THE TRUNK ON THE DRIVER SIDE. AFTER CAREFUL INSPECTION ON THE WIRE HARNESS AT THE HINGE CONNECTION OF THE TRUNK, DISCOVERED AT LEAST ONE WIRE THAT WAS ABOUT THE BREAK OFF FROM OPENING AND CLOSING THE TRUNK OF THE CAR FOR MANY YEARS. AFTER FIXING THESE WIRES, ALL THE SYMPTOMS WERE RESOLVED. AMAZING!!! COULDN'T HAVE SOLVED THIS PROBLEM SO FAST WITHOUT THE READING THE ARTICLE FROM MIKE GERBER. THANKS!!!!! REASON FROM WRITING THIS COMPLIANT: TOYOTA MANUFACTURE SHOULD RECALL ALL THESE VEHICLES WITH THIS COMPLIANT WITHOUT ANY CHARGES TO THEIR OWNERS..... THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT AFFECTED THE PERFORMANCE OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM CAUSING A VIBRATION EVERYTIMES YOU APPLY THE BRAKES LIKE THE ABS SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE LIGHTS AREN'T WORKING CORRECTLY EVEN AFTER CHANGING ALL THE BULBS IN THE TRUNK AREA. *TR
