About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
The hood has been "popping" up when driving... this has happened on numerous occasions. Usually I open the hood and slam it down and its ok for a while lately it happened more times. I took it to the service garage and they said it looked fine.. ( but it could be a cable??) although there is a safety latch when it "pops" its still very scary when you are driving because you don't know when it will happen. Not sure what maybe the cause of this?

The drivers' exterior door handle broke off while my husband was opening the door. I noticed the same thing happened in NHTSA id number: 10720976. Up to now I wasn't sure what to think about it, but after seeing that my car isn't the only one it has happened to I believe it has something to do with the car's components. As far as any injury, his hand was cut when the handle broke off and I can't help but hurt my own hand every time I try to open the drivers' door. It has forced us to enter thru the front passenger door and slide over (which is not pleasant nor comfortable).

I have owned this car for about 5 years; my grandfather gave it to me, so it's only had two owners. Low miles (80,000). I am replacing the driver's exterior door handle for the third time and passenger's exterior for the second time. The exterior handles merely snap off. I wish Toyota would offer replacement handles made of metal rather than plastic. This may eliminate the problem. The state I live in requires a yearly vehicle inspection and due to the broken handles, my car failed yesterday.
