My ABS and brake lights came on while I was driving on a residential road. Went to the nearest Toyota dealership, where they told me that my ABS sensor was no longer working in the left tire. They replaced the sensor. 6 months had passed and the light came on again for a few days then went off. This scenario played out for the next several years, more so in colder months. The reason it was not repaired was because the cost was too high to fix. Starting in october 2013 the ABS and brake lights came on and have not come off since then. I recently brought the car to a mechanic (august 26, 2014) where they took a look at the issue. It was discovered that both my front tire ABS systems were not working and the cost to replace both systems was $1,100. *tr

My warning lights on the dash are coming on and causing the car to lock up, jerk, and stall while in motion in slower speeds usually when at a street sign and going into a turn, a stop light also going into a turn on main hwys and worse of all in neighborhoods prior to my getting to the hospital. I'm not in good health and go for testing and treatment regularly. Plez help I know y'all are aware of this thing but it's not a recall yet. Plez fix my car. I'm on disability due to cancer.

I was turning on a left on a major street to small street. Alll cars in the opposite direction was stopped due to a street light a block away. It was a 2 lane street along with street curb parking. Both cars on each lane had stopped for me n as I was turning left another car appeared suddenly and as I pressed the break it didn't work right causing me hit the car

Takara recall letter received among other 2. After checking on airbagrecall.com and verifying that my car definetaly have a recall, I called dealer, after being transferred to 5 different reps, I was told that only one recall was found only for master switch. Please contact me asap as I am very concern for my family safety. My driver seat moves back and fort while in motion as well.

The vehicle was not able to restart. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the water pump bearing failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The VIN was not provided. The approximate failure mileage was 116,000.

Heard clunking noise from front right of car while accelerating/decelerating, when braking and while driving over uneven road surfaces. Took vehicle to dealer, there they found #2 sub-frame bolt had rusted through and the head had fallen out onto my garage floor. Looks as if #2 sub-frame bolt takes on a lot of water condensation dripping from the a/c unit. Will replace all six sub-frame bolts once the back ordered parts come in, after drilling out the remainder of the #2 sub-frame bolt. #2 sub-frame bolt looks to hold together the right lower suspension arm to the body/sub-frame. *tr

The rear axel beam on the vehicle cracked on the drivers side. It separated at a weld and caused the entire wheel assemble to lean inward (extreme negative camber) and rub against the wheel well. Fortunately I was off the highway when the incident occurred and barely made it safely to my work place. If this had happened at a greater speed I fear for what may have happened to myself and others. It is UNKNOWN if this problem has been reproduced in other circumstances. It has not been inspected by the manufacturer or police. It was inspected by an independent service provider (mechanic). It is available for additional inspection if needed. There was no warning, message or any other symptoms prior to the issue occurring.

I was driving to a job interview. Initially there was a slight grinding noise coming from underneath the car. This sound would occur only when the acceleration pedal was depressed. While still on the freeway, the grinding sound progressed and there was increased resistance (with pressure on the gas pedal, the car would not accelerate and make a terrible grinding noise). While still on the freeway, and in 5th gear, the transmission gave out, and being in 5th gear was as if being in neutral (no acceleration at all, engine would rev when pressing the gas pedal). I was lucky that I did not get in a crash at 70 miles per hour. After pulling over, I tried the remaining gears and they made the same terrible grinding noise, and the car would not accelerate. I had my car towed to the nearest

I was driving my 2008 Scion xd with a manual transmission home from errand run, close to home. Near a busy intersection, the gears failed. No warning, no engine light. A kind gentleman helped me push the car into a nearby parking lot. During the autopsy, my most excellent mechanic determined that the throw-out bearing in the clutch broke. The car has only 24,300+ miles. The part's failure was not caused by improper use or excessive wear! This was a faulty part. I can only thank a higher power that I was not on a highway or in heavy traffic when this happened, because there was full loss of control of the steering system & mobility. Guess it wasn't my day to die in a horrible car crash. Called Toyota to ask for remuneration for the $1,350 repair job and the $140 for the rental car

This is the fourth incident, and the fourth time I have brought it to the dealer who cannot find or duplicate the issue. I hit the brakes, and instead of slowing or stopping the car, the car accelerates. One time, it damaged a tire, this time it happened while merging on a highway and nearly caused a dangerous collision. This last incident, I was traveling around 30 MPH. The two times before, I had been attempting to come to a stop from 25-30 MPH, and the first time I had been traveling between 30-35 MPH when I attempted to break to avoid another vehicle switching lanes. Toyota didn't even bother to find out what was wrong.

I was driving and all of a sudden the check engine would come on and the vehicle would start shaking and slow down for maybe a couple of seconds then it would drive normal, sometimes either the same day or in a couple of days the check engine light would shut off and vehicle would drive normal again, this happened about 4/5 times, I took it to a mechanic, but when I did the check engine was off and he found nothing wrong with it, (not really sure if he even did a diagnostic on it) he stated maybe it was just a temporary gliche. This sunday 9/6/2015, I was driving, the check engine came on and the vehicle started to shake but this time it felt it was about to stop, this is happening while I was driving it was scary becuase a person driving behind me at 40mph does not know that the vehicle
