What owners report most

Verbatim excerpts from NHTSA complaints, by component

Visibility/wiper

1 report
“All four of the vehicles windows will remain wet inside the car door after rain or a car wash. This can last for over 24 hours after the vehicle becoming wet. So a dry window will be rolled down and then come up wet and streaky with water from inside the door making visibility difficult. This is especially dangerous at night when the side mirror is picking up other vehicle's lights. My car has been doing this since I purchased it new in 2024. The dealership tried to tell me it was normal but then tried to offer a fix to one window but declined it after I told them this happened to all four windows. They checked for water in the door and said there was none but the water is coming from somewhere and I'm still in the process of trying to get this fixed by Toyota as the car is still under warranty but as of today I have had no luck. Visibility is hampered in a dangerous manner when this happens rendering my side mirrors useless. This issue will last days after a rain/car wash. Dry windows get rolled down and wet, streaky window gets rolled up.”
