| The problem i noticed with this vehicle, was with the brakes every time i would brake the vehicle would not stop on command the car would continue to glide. this was reported to the dealership numerous times and the response i received was basically i did not know what i was talking about and i was imagining this problem. until this day the problem has not been resolved. the second incident happened when my fiance was in an head on collision in my car, the frontal airbag did not deploy as a result he injured his neck and back. the repairs were done on my car by the dealership ,and know my air conditioning system does not work properly and that also has been reported to the dealership and they refuse to resolve the problem which had occurred after my vehicle had been taken to them for repairs. the lights in my dash board have almost completely gone out. *jb | |||

| We had the delership look at vehicle four times and they claimed my wife did not know what she was talking about. the fifth time on june 2nd we took it to another delership and they said the right front strut assembly was faulty and replaced.we have also noticed the brakes do not operate normally all the time but no action has been taken. lastly, my wife had a wreck and the air bags did not diploy. we contacted toyota and they said they would send someone out to look at the vehicle. so, far they have not been fully cooperative. in notifying you i hope that maybe no one else will be injured in a more serious accident if the car turns to be faulty. sincerely william and holly skeen. *ak | |||
