I WAS APPROACHING A STOPLIGHT AT A DOWNWARD ANGLE AND WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. I WAS GOING APPROX. 15PMH WHEN IT STARTED AND IT DIDN'T STOP SHAKING UNTIL I GOT DOWN TO ABOUT 5 MILES PER HOUR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT DAY AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM TO THEM. THEY GOT THE VEHICLE TO REPRODUCE THE VIBRATIONS AND I HAVE PAPERWORK STATING THIS. IT HAS BEEN A FULL YEAR LATER AND THEY HAVEN'T REPAIRED IT YET. THEY CONTINUALLY TELL ME PARTS ARE BEING DESIGNED. JUST WAIT. THAT'S ALL THEY KEEP SAYING. I FOUND OUT THAT THEY MADE A FIX FOR THE V6 MODEL WITHIN 7 MONTHS, BUT THEY DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS AGAINST THE 4 CYLINDER MODEL TO WARRANT REDESIGNING PARTS. I WAS TOLD THIS BY THE SERVICE TECH AT THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, IN LIGHT RAIN. MY CAR RANDOMLY ENGAGED A SYSTEM THAT SLOWED MY VEHICLE DOWN. THIS RESULTED IN MY LOSING TRACTION WITH THE ROAD, MY TRUCK BEGAN TO HYDROPLANE. MY TRUCK SPUN AND MOVED TOWARDS THE HIGHWAY MEDIAN. THE MEDIAN HAD A V-DITCH, MY FRONT PASSENGER TIRE IMPACTED THE V-DITCH AND FLIPPED MY VEHICLE. IF IT WEREN'T FOR MY SEAT BELT LOCKING AND SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYING IT MAY HAVE BEEN A FATAL ACCIDENT. IT WAS A LIFE THREATENING ACCIDENT. *TR

MY SEAT BELT REMINDER BUZZER DOES NOT WORK, IT HAS NOT CAUSED ANY TROUBLE BUT IT COULD IF I FORGET TO BUCKLE UP. I HAVE BEEN TO TWO DEALERS AND THEY SAY IT IS WORKING NORMALLY. *TR

AFTER DRIVING FOR 2 HOURS AT HIGHWAY SPEED (65) MPH I EXITED THE HIGHWAY TO A INTERSECTION WITH A RED LIGHT. UPON APPLYING THE BRAKES TO COME TO A STOP THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED FORWARD ON ITS OWN. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO STOP A COLLISION BY PUTTING THE TRUCK INTO NEUTRAL . I COULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE BY ONLY USING THE BRAKES. THE ENGINE OVER REVOLUTIONS BUT CAME BACK TO A IDLE IN JUST A FEW SECONDS. I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THIS IN THE PAST TWO YEARS THAT I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE. I WAS NOT TOWING ANYTHING AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT LOADED WITH ANY ADDITIONAL WEIGHT. I AM THE ONLY DRIVER. I CONTINUED ON WITH MY TRIP AND HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THIS AGAIN AS OF THIS DATE. 02/20/2014 *TR

THERE IS A VIBRATION IN THE ENTIRE DRIVE TERRAIN WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. THE VIBRATION ONLY OCCURS FROM A STOP AND BETWEEN 5-20 MPH. THIS WAS FIRST NOTICED IN MARCH OF 2013 AND THE DEALER (MIDDLE TOWN TOYOTA) AND US CORPORATE TOYOTA WERE MADE AWARE, BUT WAS TOLD NOTHING CAN BE DONE. AS OF TODAY, THE VIBRATION APPEARS TO BE GETTING WORSE. THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY LOSS OF CONTROL YET OF MECHANICAL FAILURES, BUT WITH THE VIBRATION GETTING WORSE, IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE FAILURES START OCCURRING. *TR
