FOUR TIMES NOW( ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS) AFTER SHIFTING THE CAR INTO REVERSE THE ENGINE MADE HORRIBLE GRINDING SOUNDS AND THE CAR BEGAN TO LURCH VIOLENTLY AS I ATTEPMPTED TO BACK UP. IT EVENTUALLY STALLED OUT COMPLETELY. ON ONE OCCASION I WAS ABLE TO HAVE SOMEBODY SHIFT THE CAR INTO REVERSE SO I COULD LOOK UNDER THE HOOD WHILE THE CAR WAS GRINDING AND LURCHING. I SAW THE ENGINE START TO VIBRATE AND THEN DUMP FORWARD AND THEN REPEAT THAT CYCLE. I DO HAVE VIDEO OF THE EVENT ON MY PHONE BUT I AM NOT ABLE TO DOWNLOAD IT TO THIS LAP TOP.

IS DIFFCULT TO BUY TIRES FOR THIS CAR BECAUSE OF THE DEALERS NEVER HAVE IN STOCK THIS SIZE TIRE TOYOTA DEALERS HAVE TO ORDER FOR YOU NEVER HAVE IN STOCK OTHER TIRE DEALERS HAVE TO ORDER FOR YOU ALSO MORE EXPENSIVE TO ORDER

@ 9851 MILES, PICKED UP THE CAR FROM AN OIL CHANGE (IN NOV. 2016.) NOTICED A LIGHT SHAKING WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP AT STOP LIGHT. THE ISSUE CONTINUED RANDOMLY, AT FIRST NOT VERY OFTEN, THEN STARTED HAPPENING MORE AND MORE OFTEN AND BECAME MORE AND MORE INTENSE AT TIMES. CAR IS AT 18,029 MILES (6/28/17,) AND IT STILL CONTINUES TO RANDOMLY HAPPEN. HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT, NO SERVICE/ENGINE LIGHTS OR CODES. THE SERVICE MANAGER AND SERVICE ADVISOR WITNESSED THE PROBLEM IN THE SERVICE BAY. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS "CHARACTERISTIC" OF THE VEHICLE (BUT DIDN'T HAPPEN FOR THE FIRST 9851 MILES,) AND I HAVE ALSO BEEN TOLD I PUT "BAD GAS" IN IT (ALTHOUGH IT'S BEEN DRIVEN 8,358 MILES SINCE IT STARTED AND THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS TYPES OF GAS FROM NUMEROUS GAS STATIONS PUT IN THE VEHICLE.) IT STILL HAPPENS RANDOMLY, IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE AC IS ON OR OFF, HOW LONG IT BEEN DRIVEN, THE TYPE OF GAS THAT IS IN IT, OR WHAT THE TEMPERATURE IS OUTSIDE. MANUFACTURERS REP COULD NOT "RECREATE" THE INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, ARBITRATOR SAID THE 20 OR SO VIDEOS I RECORDED OF THINGS SHAKING IN MY VEHICLE WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN, WAS NOT "CREDITBLE EVIDENCE." I WOULD LIKE THE ISSUE I'M EXPERIENCING WITH MY CAR TO BE POSTED ON THE NHSTA WEBSITE UNDER PROBLEMS, JUST IN CASE OTHER OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED TO DETERMINE IF THEY COULD INVESTIGATE THE IMPACT OF THE AIR BAGS, WHICH DEPLOYED WITH EXTREME FORCE. THE CONTACT WAS WAITING ON A RESPONSE FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY AND THE MANUFACTURER CONCERNING THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY DEALER LOST MY KEY, AFTER THE GAVE ME THE CAR AND I DROVE OFF TO COSTCO WITHOUT NOTICING I DIDN'T HAVE THE KEY, FOUND OUT THE CAR IS STARTING WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE CAR. DEALER KEPT WITH THE CAR WHILE TOYOTA CORP DECIDE HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM, THE GAVE ME A LOANER CAR WHILE THEY DO THE JOB.
