Tires · reported Mar 25, 2024
Tire size P205 60R16 evolution tour series This is the second tire of the set of 4 that suddenly had a belt shift inside the tire and the steering wheel would violently shake , one of the tires when failed pulled to left into oncoming traffic (luckily I retained control)
Service Brakes · at 189,000 miles · reported Jul 8, 2019
While driving, after the vehicle gets hot, not overheated, the brakes go soft and you cant stop! If you slam them they work, if you press normally, nothing. We replaced, master cylinder, brake booster, brake lines, calipers, and all pads, had a pressure bleed performed, nothing helps! It's the seal on the fire wall that is defective!
Air Bags · at 15 miles · reported Feb 10, 2019
The air bag light continues to go on. I've spent many dollars to get if fixed, however, no one seems to know why the light is constantly on. It seems to be on the passenger side. The light goes on whenever the key is engaged.
Air Bags · reported Jul 2, 2016
The passenger light went on for no apparent reason and vehicle has never been in an accident. Vehicle only has 70,000 original miles. I noticed several others have had the same complaint. Is this a safety issue?
Fuel System, Gasoline · at 75,000 miles · reported Jun 19, 2016
While driving my 2002, (75,000 miles) brakes were not functioning as normal. It was necessary to depress the brake down to the floor. About 15 mins later I noticed the "brake" display lit. I called arlington toyota where I have been a customer for 20 years and advised of them of the problem. I was given an appointment, but decided to cautiously drive to the dealer after # calls. I learned that both my brake line and fuel lines had rusted and were leaking fluid. I commented that I had my car in for brake work many times over the past year +. I spoke to my regular attendant at least 4 times…
