Over the past 4 years I have had the door locks malfunction on four separate occasions, some parts even malfunctioning after they were replaced at Toyota service centers. Locks do not engage when locked via door switch button, through keyless fob, and when manually attempting to engage it is jammed and physically hard to engage lock. Has occurred twice on front passenger side and twice on left rear side. 2014 - front passenger, 2015- rear left, 2016-rear left, 2018-front passenger. Began happening intermittently, now is permanently jammed.

While pulling into my driveway my accelerator suddenly surged forward into a brick plantar box, I was able to stop the vehicle with the brakes and emergency hand brake, although the gas pedal has always been sensitive the surge of acceleration has not been this excessive until now. Toyota states there has not been any claims on this vehicle...

I have a rs 7.0 which has the body kit. Very often, when I turn, especially if there is a passenger or extra weight in the car, it sounds as though the front wheels are scraping against the body of the car. Of course, the dealer can't hear the sound at all. But that is what I expected. I just hope that when the tire blows because of wear, I don't get killed. The car is almost three months old and this has been happening since I bought it.
