I WAS ABLE TO FIX THE ISSUE OF THE VEHICLE NOT RESPONDING WELL TO BURSTS OF SPEED, SIMPLY TURN OFF ECO MODE, AND REFILL VEHICLE WITH BETTER GAS (DO NOT USE THE CHEAPEST TIER OF GAS AVAILABLE AT THE GAS STATION, GO THE NEXT TIER UP FROM THAT). I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 3 YEARS NOW WITH UNDER 13,800 MI AT TIME OF WRITING. THERE ARE STEERING ISSUES WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS. I SHARE THIS VEHICLE WITH OTHER INDIVIDUALS AND ALL OF THEM COMPLAIN OF THE VEHICLE SHAKING SEVERELY WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS. STEERING WHEEL FREQUENTLY SEEMS TO "LOCK" IN PLACE WHEN DRIVING CURVES. THE RECALL THAT IS CURRENTLY IN PLACE, 20V682, HAS BEEN EFFECTIVE SINCE LATE OCTOBER 2020 AND AS OF NOW THERE IS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. I SPOKE TO A TOYOTA REP EARLY FEBRUARY AND THEY WERE ANTICIPATING A REMEDY TO BE AVAILABLE BY THE END OF THE MONTH BUT THERE IS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. TRIED CALLING AGAIN AND THIS TIME THEY WERE UNABLE TO GIVE ME AN EXACT DATE FOR THE REMEDY TO BE READY. MEANWHILE I AM READING MORE AND MORE COMPLAINTS OF OTHER DRIVERS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE STALLING WHILE IN MOTION, ENDANGERING NOT JUST THEIR OWN LIVES BUT THE LIVES OF OTHER DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS AS WELL. THE LAST THING I WANT IS FOR ME OR MY OWN FAMILY MEMBERS TO BE IN A SEVERE ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLY LOSE OUR LIVES. IT IS IRRESPONSIBLE FOR TOYOTA TO KEEP US ALL WAITING FOR SUCH A LONG TIME FOR A REMEDY. THERE SEEM TO BE MORE AND MORE RECALLS AFFECTING ALL TOYOTA BRANDED VEHICLES DUE TO POOR QC. IF THEY COULD ONLY TAKE THE TIME TO PROPERLY TEST ALL PRODUCTS BEFORE RELEASE THEM TO THE PUBLIC, WE WOULD NOT HAVE TO DRIVE IN OUR VEHICLES FEELING ON EDGE AND UNCOMFORTABLE ALL THE TIME. IF THESE RECALLS KEEP COMING I AM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING SELLING THE VEHICLE ONCE MY PAYMENTS ARE DONE IN 3 YEARS, AND CONSIDER LOOKING ELSEWHERE FOR BRANDS WHO VALUE SAFETY INSTEAD OF ADDING MORE TECH GADGETS TO HIKE UP PRICES.

I WAS SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS CAR, UNTIL I GOT THIS CAR. WE HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE SIGNING OUT CONTRACT. THE UNDER SHIELD OF THE CAR IS FALLING/DROPPING WHICH IS CONSTANTLY BREAKING OFF AND FALLING OUT BEHIND US WHICH IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS TO OTHERS AS WELL. MAKES THE WHOLE CAR SHAKE LIKE CRAZY WHEN DRIVING HIGHER SPEEDS. I AM CONSTANTLY HAVING TO GET DOWN ON THE GROUND IN MID WINTER AND TRY TO DIG THE SNOW, SLUSH AND ICE OUT FROM INBETWEEN THE SHIELD AND THE CAR ITSELF. I CANT USE TOOLS OR SHARP OBJECTS BECAUSE I DONT KNOW IF THERE IS BREAKABLE STUFF SO I JUST USE BARE HANDS AND HOPE FOR THE BEST. RIDICULOUS WHEN I HAVE SERVE CARPEL TUNNEL AND ITS IN NEGATIVE WITH WINDCHILL AND I RUN INSIDE UGLY CRYING BECAUSE MY HANDS HURTING.. THE CLIPS THAT WHOLE THE CAR TOGETHER IN GENERAL KEEP COMING UNDONE. I CAN ONLY CLIP A FEW BACK TOGETHER AS I DON'T HAVE THE STRENGTH FOR THE REST. SCARED THE BUMPER MIGHT FALL OFF AT A HIGHER SPEED WITH 2 MINOR CHILDREN IN THE CAR. THEN THE FELT ON THE INSIDE AROUND THE TIRES LIKES TO PEEL AWAY AND WHEN THE CLIP IS ALSO UNDONE IT BENDS AND MENDS THE UNDERBODY OUTSIDE TRIM AND THEN WHILE DRIVING IT CATCHES ON MY BACK TIRE. NOT ONLY AT HIGHER SPEEDS BUT ALL THE TIME.

THE CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH A LOW-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WHICH MAY STOP OPERATING WHICH COULD RESULT IN THE ENGINE RUNNING ROUGH AND THE VEHICLE TO STALL, THEREBY INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH DURING DRIVING. TOYOTA HAS IDENTIFIED THIS PROBLEM AS EARLY AS JANUARY 2020 AND NOTIFIED ME IN WRITING IN OCTOBER 2020, BUT AS OF TODAY (FEB 21, 2021), IT HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THE STALLING PROBLEM, BUT I AM WORRIED THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN ANYTIME WHILE I AM DRIVING ESPECIALLY AT HIGH SPEED IN THE FREEWAY. I AM WRITING TO COMPLAIN BECAUSE WHEN I CONTACTED TOYOTA ON FEB 20, 2021, IT HAS NOT PROVIDED A REMEDY OR A FIX TO THE PROBLEM, AND IT HAS BEEN A YEAR SINCE IT FIRST IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM.
