VEHICLE MAY CREEP WHILE BRAKES ARE APPLIED WHEN STOPPED. NORMAL BRAKING PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO STOP VEHICLE. VEHICLE STOPS OK. AFTER A FEW SECOND, THE VEHICLE MAY BEGIN TO CREEP FORWARD AS IF THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE BOOSTER IS NO LONGER APPLYING THE CORRECT PRESSURE TO HOLD THE VEHICLE, REQUIRING ADDITIONAL LIGHT PRESSURE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. PROBLEM IS MORE NOTICEABLE IF AN ACCESSORY SUCH AS THE A/C COMPRESSOR TURNS ON AND CAUSES THE ENGINE IDLE SPEED TO INCREASE VERY SLIGHTLY.

I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION IN JANUARY THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IN THIS CAR. I HAVE BEEN WAITING OVER 2 MONTHS FOR A REMEDY--IT'S LISTED AS "INTERIM" IN TOYOTA'S SYSTEM APPARENTLY. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER NOT TO ALLOW ANYONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE DEFECT IS FIXED. THIS IS A MAJOR DISRUPTION TO MY LIFE. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHY IT IS TAKING SO LONG TO CORRECT A DEFECT WITH SUCH SIGNIFICANT CONSEQUENCES.

Driving on trail ridge road in Estes park. Fuel boiled and gas flowed out of the vehicle around the gas cap. It presents a real fire and environmental risk in addition to causing property damage to the vehicle by potentially damaging the paint with the boiling fuel. The government has not done anything to address this design flaw with Toyota despite it being known for decades. This has been present with the 80, 100, 200 series vehicles plus the Toyota Tundra, Lexus GX and Lexus LX. There are a frightening number complaints about th…

Water pump failed at under 60k, but was just over 60k miles when I brought into Toyota Dealer (Rudy Luther, Minnetonka MN). Toyota denied claim and won’t stand behind a water pump failure. This part doesn’t have any maintenance needed per manufacture documentation within the miles I have on vehicle. Further - this is becoming a topic within many forums that Toyota has an issue with water pumps and is fully aware of this. I’d like to see Toyota take care of this issue and pay for this repair.
