What owners report most
Verbatim excerpts from NHTSA complaints, by component
Suspension
1 report
“Excessive wheel vibration noted at above 65 mph. Took it to dealer and 2 tires were replaced. Toyota rep drove vehicle and stated in repair invoice "disappointing ride quality especially at highway speeds." They have refused to do anything else. If vibrations continue, this may result in suspension failure or other potential safety issues as vibrations can shake bolts loose. Many others are experiencing wheel balance issues as well and Toyota is not addressing the issue correctly. There needs to be a recall and a different tire manufacturer used to replaced the faulty Toyo tires.”
Wheels
1 report
Steering
1 report
“Excessive front end vibration causing strain to maintain lane control.”
