2013 Venza pasenger side and back leak very bad when it rains

The first year of owning I noticed a mildew type odor coming through the vent system when I cut on the heat. I reported during service and was told the filter would be changed and some type of odor reducer placed in the ventilation system. It's winter again and the odor is so bad that I am getting car sick whenever the heat is on, whether driving or stationary. I searched the web and there are many instances of this issue with Toyota vehicles. Is there any recalls in place for this, I will be going to the dealer again and will follow up with this complaint. Based on other internet complaints, this may be mold build up.

Subject: Formal Complaint Regarding Potential Safety Issue - 2009-2015 Toyota Venza Models Dear National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), I am writing to formally report a potential safety concern related to the 2009-2015 Toyota Venza Models. The issue pertains to a discernible creaking sound originating from the turn signal stalk when the turn signals are engaged and the steering wheel is turned. Upon thorough examination, it has been identified that the source of this noise is the clock spring, a crucial airbag component designated by its yellow color and distinguished by two orange and yellow wires. It is imperative to emphasize that the clock spring, being a vital element of the airbag system, plays a pivotal role in ensuring occupant safety. Unfortunately, the persist

The panaramic sun/moon roof has comprehensive issues with regard to stability and safety. When driving over an uneven surface, speedbump, or other non-smooth surface, there is a loud and jarring pop from the overhead roof area of the car where the panaramic sun/moon roof is installed. It is concerning and sounds as if it has the potential to shatter or implode onto passengers inside the vehicle. I inquired about this at oxmoor Toyota in louisville, kentucky asking that it be replaced since my particular vehicle was certified and came with a bumper-to-bumper warranty and they refused, saying it wasn't covered and suggested I file a tsb.

Depressing the acceleration pedal has no effect on engine speed for up to 3 or more seconds. This situation has occurred approximately twelve times since car was purchased new in may 2013. It now has 1200 miles on the odometer. Car has been returned to the dealer twice for this reason without result. The last dealer visit in september 2013, I was advised the "drive by wire" system was operating to specification and there was no fix for the problem presently. Further, it is a problem common to the venza model as well as certain other Toyota models. *tr

Turned on engine went to push up the driver side sun visor it would not click into place I tried again and the visor just dropped and would not go up again. It appears that the mechanism to hold the visor up is pulling the fabric out from under the mirror too. This happened 8/27/2020. There is no reason for this to happen since this car is cared for by the original owner.
