    My vehicle was in motion, and the engine shut off. I was able to restart the vehicle several times, but it would only continue running for 5 to 60 seconds. After about 30 minutes the vehicle started and drove to my destination (home). The problem persisted for 3 days, with only one successful short drive amidst several stalls and restarts. Each time the vehicle started, but did not run for long before dying. I towed…

    I purchased this vehicle used from a dealer in 2014 with low miles on it and it appeared to be in great shape. The undercarriage was sprayed with what i thought was a coating to protect against rust. I realize now the dealer was probably trying to hide the rust problems. The coating flaked off a short time later and ever since, i too have been plagued by the frame and other component rust problems. Had to replace…

    Vehicle was in motion on a city street on 12/24/18 when the entire system (engine, electrical etc.) completely quit. I was near a stop light, so i stopped and restarted the engine and resumed travel. On 12//27/18 i was in motion in a parking lot and the entire system failed again.

    The toyota secondary air system has failed rendering my car without traction control... And other lights. There is no preventative measures for this part and toyota used the exact same system on the tundra's and sequoia's with the same problem i'm having. This needs to be addressed as the repair for the system is roughly 4000.00 almost half the cost of my car... Please make them fix this on all cars where the same…

    Massive fuel leak from the soy-based fuel lines. Allegedly an animal chewed thru them which was attracted by the soy-based product (rather than the petroleum based lines of the past) i have great fear that the incident will repeat itself. Fuel lines sprayed out about 8-10 gallons of fuel during 30 minutes while driving.

    Fuel/Propulsion System

    Hissing sound like pressure loss from gas refill point and limited ability to use gas pumps due to back pressure that shuts down the pump nozzle. Vehicle was stationary at mobile, speedway and irving stations. None responded to putting fuel in the tank without numerous back pressure shutdowns at the pump.
