My vehicle has undergone two separate service visits at an authorized Toyota dealership. During the first visit, the vehicle unexpectedly failed to start while parked in a parking lot. It had to be taken to the dealership for repair. I am concerned that this earlier failure may have been related to the inverter defect subsequently addressed by Toyota's safety recall, and I request that this possibility be investigated. On October 22, 2026, I brought the vehicle back to the authorized dealership specifically for the Toyota safety recall involving potentially loose inverter bolts. The dealership…
Visibility/Wiper · reported Oct 15, 2026
My rear windshield shattered spontaneously while I was parked at work. The shatter pattern doesn't indicate an external force shattering the glass. The work cameras also corroborate that nobody or nothing was near my vehicle when it could have happened. There was no warning or indication of this happening.

As a result, the driver's knees repeatedly strike and scrape against this sharp plastic seam when getting in and out of the vehicle. This has caused multiple bodily injuries within two months of ownership: a recent open skin abrasion with bleeding on the right knee, and a dark scar from a previous injury two…

I purchased this vehicle new December 2025. 4 times now it has lost throttle control after turning in traffic. Only to after a second or two to suddenly accelerate unexpectedly at full throttle. This has been periodic for 4 months now. The dealer says they canât replicate the incident, and they are finished investigating it. Leaving me in fear that an accident is eminent.
