In owners’ own words

Electrical system mileage not reported 10 mo in service
There is a high pitch electrical whine coming from the fan blower (right side by the glove compartment) noise causes pain to my right ear after hearing it consistently which I believe will become a health problem. Vehicle has had blower replaced by Toyota dealer with no fix. There are numerous complaints found on Toyota forums describing this exact issue and nothing has been done to rectify this issue.
Electrical system mileage not reported 1.4 yr in service
There has been several instances where I’m trying to cross a divided Highway and the accelerator doesn’t respond. I’ve had three near death experiences. There’s been other times where it will just shut off and restart without a warning. It’s been in my driveway thankfully. When I pull out in front of someone, it doesn’t respond either. I have had the pedal all the way down to the floor and it wouldn’t go for about 5-6 seconds
Electrical system mileage not reported 1.5 yr in service
Car stalled at stoplight. Loud tone sound with ‘power steering low’ indicator with check engine light on. Wheel locked. Needed to put in park and restart car. Very scary and unsafe! Multiple people on Reddit and YouTube have reported this!
Power train mileage not reported 10 mo in service
Lost all acceleration going up a hill. Pressed the gas pedal to the floor as I had a line of cars behind me. Nothing. Placed vehicle in neutral and back into drive. Was slowly able to proceed forward at about 10 mph until top of hill where gained speed. Has since happened 2 additional times. No warnings and happens at take off and hills. I did ask service department at dealership where I purchased to have it looked over. Nothing. I feel I could easily be hurt.
