I got this car used when it had 92k miles. I used it for about 1 year and it was all fine, changed oil on time.

I had then had check engine and vac trac on and would not go away no matter what I do. I noticed that my gas mileage was getting very bad to about 12 miles per gallon up until one day the car keeps shaking and wouldn’t be able to stay on unless you keep pressing the gas pedal. I changed the ignition coils the spark plugs but nothing worked. The last mechanic I went to said that the gas gaskets are ruined and that it may cost more than the car worth to replace that ( around 4000k dollars )

I ended up trading the car as it is to get another one. I know a lot of people say this is a very reliable car, but for me it was a very bad experience.

When the Check Engine light and the VSC TRAC lights both came on, I pulled into the shop to ask them to check the car, and the mechanic noted that my gas cap had a slight crack in the seal and that likely set off the indicator lights. I replaced the gas cap, but the lights did not turn off (they never do), so I returned to the mechanic who reset to the system (turning off the indicator lights). The same lights came back on within a couple of days, so back to the shop we went and the mechanic ran a diagnostic ($250 TYVM) and was told the repair (remove and replace the Evac Canister) would cost in excess of $870.00. Kind of disappointed in the "Toyota quality" at this point.
