There is a bad smell coming from the air ducting especially when the AC is set to recycle the cabin air. The smell is so nauseating that you have to roll the windows down while driving down the road or parked. The Toyota dealership charged me $155 +/- to clean the ducting on a less than 2-year-old car with approximately 35,000 mi on it. I'm not sure how long their cleaning service will keep the smell removed. I've owned multiple vehicles in my lifetime and never encountered this problem. This should not be happening on a new vehicle.

*** suspension & oe tire bridgeston EL440 - rolling while cornering on uneven/bumpy road - not sure but I feel tire standing wave sometimes - I replaced it with Michelin premier A/S and got better grip and 50%-less-rolling effect. *** blind spot monitor(bsm) is unreliable - not properly works sometimes - it cannot detect a car passing by at high speed. - it cannot detect a car at a tiny bit over permissible angle, especially merging road. (I feel that bsm angle is too narrow or short and it works only when the object is exact parallel to my car.) - I would like this bsm to be always on at any time and condition.

Both blind spot monitoring and cross traffic alert - malfunction alerts, keeps popping up regularly. Multiple trips to the dealer, with no resolution. Toyota indicates that this is a prob and are working on an solution. It is not clear what that is. Seems like issue pops up more when it is very cold or very wet. Toyota says they are looking into it, but not sure what their plan is. Toyota case #1901292206 for today.
