| Aug 2024 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | The high pressure fuel pump line suddenly ruptured at the high pressure fuel pump. This happened without warning and spewed fuel all over the engine compartment and onto the exhaust system that comes out just below the engine. It started a small fire on the engine exhaust pipe as I hurried to a mechanic across the intersection. Luckily I was able to turn off the car and avoid damage. The repair required a new high-pressure fuel pump as well as a line that runs into the pump. I kept the original parts - the mechanics state that the replacement fuel line was different than the one removed from the vehicle in the shape of the line connector to the fuel pump. I was told by Toyota that my car was NOT under recall despite there being fuel pump recalls for similar vehicles. | Crash: No Fire: Yes | Unknown |
| Aug 2024 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | My car has had no incidents. I was told by customer service to file a complaint that there is no remedy for this issue. I gain income from renting this car on Turo. While there is an active recall, I am not able to use this car for income, it is removed from the qualification list for car rentals. I am told by the dealership that there is no remedy expected until 2026 for this vehicle. I cannot lose two years worth of income waiting for this solution. I had my car inspected at the dealership and was told that my sensor was not faulty and do not need a resolution. Is there any way that I can receive documentation from NHTSA showing that my vehicle is safe to rent out and has been inspected and cleared from Toyota? I appreciate your assistance in this matter. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Jun 2024 | AIR BAGS,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | My car has been brought into the shop over two times due to a recall that has no yet been resolved and has no time frame as to when there will be available parts created to fix this issue. The passenger air bag is in for a recall as in case of anything, the air bag will not deploy correctly or at all. This is a major safety issue as it can cause the death of the person rising in the passenger seat. I do not feel safe driving in this car especially since my car is always a full house and it is used as a family vehicle where all 5 seats are being used at once. This is a recall that was later found on this car meaning that the car was built like that. Again, I do not feel safe as I have had family members die in a car accident before. I have asked the dealership multiple times to resolve this issue. On June 23rd 20024, I was almost in a car accident. All 5 seats were being used and we were almost hit by a car that was going over approximately 85mph. A life could have been taken if we would have been hit and the air bag would not have deployed at all or correctly. My car has been in the shop, Hanlees Hilltop Toyota since Monday June 24th. I was concerned about the airbag and again, they do not have any parts that have been created by TOYOTA manufacturer. I asked for a loaner car and they did not want to help nor provide me with one. I do not feel safe in this vehicle and the airbag not working should be considered high risk and this car should not be drivable due to this major high risk issue. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Apr 2024 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | The 12-volt battery has gone totally dead twice. Replaced the battery 2 times. Both batteries were fairly new.
