TANK WAS ADVERTISED AS HAVING A CAPACITY FOR 14.5 GALLONS. I AM NOT ABLE TO FULLY FILL THE TANK, ONLY PUTTING IN 9 TO 10 GALLONS MAXIMUM. TOYOTA HAS STATED THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND THERE IS NO FIX. I AM UNABLE TO GET THE MILEAGE RANGE I WAS PROMISED UPON PURCHASE.

As I was turning into a parking spot my car made a growling noise and suddenly lunged forward and accelerated at high speeds, hitting two cars and only stopping once the car hit a wall. I had no control of the car as it accelerated and the brakes did not work.
