Toyota's Failures: Do your homework!


Below are limited Toyota complaints.

Noteworthy is Toyota's response and failures to correct or take appropriate action.

Seat belts and airbags are supposed to protect vehicle occupants at time of crashes, yet Toyota seems to have a major problem that has been noted on other Toyota models.
How do you know your Toyota airbags won't protect you until you're injured in a crash?

There are also complaints of SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION when BRAKES are applied, as well as BRAKE FAILURES.

It's not ALL Toyotas, yet when there is a problem/failure, the response from Toyota is lacking.

Buying a Toyota is like playing Russian Roulette.






If you're sold by the Toyota Commercials, please do your homework.
[70% of NEW Car buyers don't do their research for the 2nd largest purchase they'll make. Don't be one of them!]

I didn't do my research and my ROUTE 44 TOYOTA LEMON had NO BRAKES!




FROM the NHTSA web site: type in the year and additional information to review complaints posted [Remember that only 13% of people file complaints. What you see may not be representative of all complaints. If you have a complaint and don't post it, the problem will never be corrected.]

Some complaints posted for 2012 Prius C, 2012 Prius, 2012 PriusV [it's unclear when/if NHTSA separated Prius models]:
