In owners' words
Complaint narratives as filed with NHTSA, trimmed for length.
-
Check vsc system as well as ABS and tire lights come on. Known issue with toyota. Had a maintenance program, but won't help me because it didn't start to occur until 1 month after expiration date. They don't send notifications. You have to wait until the problem occurs which could be after it causes an accident!
-
Started car and had immediate brake failure!, ABS system failure. Brake system warning lights and beeping from dashboard. Car not drive-able.
-
Manufacturer Recall Number25TB15 NHTSA Recall Number25V869 Toyota has failed to provide a fix for this recall which was supposed to happen in the first quarter of 2026. This is a potential fire hazard and needs to be fixed ASAP
How to read this page
Every figure comes from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's public complaint database, which holds every safety-related defect complaint filed by owners since 1995. We refresh it monthly and count each complaint once per component it names. Data through September 6, 2026.
NHTSA only accepts safety-related complaints. Rattles, paint, infotainment bugs and other annoyances are under-reported here, so this page is a map of what fails in ways owners consider dangerous, not a full reliability score.
Counts are raw. Use the year-over-year shape and the component mix, not the absolute numbers. Where a component maps to parts we stock, the row links to that category filtered to the year you are viewing. Air bag and seat belt complaints link to the recall checker instead, because those repairs are almost always covered.
