What owners report
HYDRAULIC BRAKE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY failed. Lost all braking ability while driving. Had to use emergency brake for stopping. Dealer found the following codes: C1223, C1251, C1252 AND C1256. ABS CONTROL SYSTEM MALFUNCTION, PUMP MOTOR IS LOCKED/OPEN CIRCUIT IN PUMP MOTOR GROUND. Hydraulic brake booster assembly was replaced with a new OEM unit and brakes now work as they should.
EXCESSIVE FRAME RUST. I HAVE A STEERING STABILIZER BAR FRAME MOUNT THAT HAS RUSTED COMPLETELY OFF AND THEREFORE THE STEERING STABILIZER IS NOT PERFORMING PROPERLY. HAPPENED DURING DRIVING. THIS IS THE SAME YEAR (TIME FRAME) AS THE NUMEROUS OTHER TOYOTA FRAME LAWSUIT ISSUES.
TOYOTA SENT US A RECALL NOTICE SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. THERE IS A POTENTIAL DEFECT IN CURTAIN SIDE AIRBAG. WE EXPECTED THE REMEDY TO BE AVAILABLE IN SEPTEMBER 2016. IT IS NOW MID-OCTOBER 2016. THERE IS NO UPDATE IN TERMS OF TIMING AVAILABLE. IS MY CAR SAFE TO DRIVE? NEXT STEPS?
PARKING BRAKE IS FROZEN. MY PRIVATE MECHANIC EXPLAINED THIS MODEL YEAR USES A WHITE METAL THAT CORRODES VERY EASILY. I WAS NOT ABLE TO ENGAGE THE PARKING BREAK WHILE PARKED ON A HILL ON A CITY STREET. I'VE ATTACHED A PICTURE OF THE PARTS THAT SHOW THE CORROSION. I BELIEVE THAT TOYOTA SHOULD RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND REPLACE THIS PART FOR SAFETY REASONS, AND REIMBURSE CUSTOMERS WHO HAD THE PART REPLACED. (300+ DOLLARS)
