On or around March 10, 2023, as my wife and daughter were driving the driver's side heated seat started burning/smoking. Immediately, my wife turned off the seat and returned home. I found there was an existing recall for this issue but only for the Southeast Toyota Distributors, I purchased my car in Missouri. I took the vehicle to the local dealership in Clarksville, Tennessee. Not only would they not honor the recall, but charged me $115.88 to confirm the burning of the seat. I contacted Toyota 7 times thus far and they are refusing to help because the recall only affected the Southeast Distributor group. I find this ludicrous as all the vehicles were made at the Georgetown, Kentucky plant. I simply want the remedy that Southeast Toyota Distributors gave their customers: Removal of bad heating unit, return of $115.88 charge of confirmation, and a return of the accessory charge I paid in December 2009.

The heated seat on the driver side is creating a burning smell. I have read about numerous other issues with this model that have had recalls but not mine. This seat is still in tact and available for full inspection upon request. This is a major safety issue that is known about but not addressed. Major fire risk putting anyone inside vehicle in danger. I have a 2 year old daughter and if I didn-??t have a lot of electrical and vehicle knowledge I could have easily left the heated seat on not knowing and caused a major risk for my entire family. Toyota needs to add the rest of the vehicles that have these issues into the recall. I have not taken into dealer yet just informed my wife not to use heated seat. I plan to take in soon to dealer but with a known issue it should be covered by a recall and not out of pocket. No police, insurance or manufacture have inspected yet. No warning lights on at all.

Water leak from panoramic sunroof when it rains. Side pillar posts. Have read several reviews including: Shorted out the power window controls, owners had to dismantled moonroof on their own to add sealant or glue. This should be Toyota's responsibility as a factory issue. Dealers are not taking responsibility for it. Issue has been going on for about 2yrs but I just found out I could make complaint here. Please assist.

Distinct smell of ozone / burning electrical component was noticed in the cabin while driving on a cold day. Pulled off the road to safety and investigated further. After cycling power several times, the burning smell was verified to be coming from the driver's seat heater. Seat heater turned off to prevent possible fire and will be examined by a local body shop in a few days to pinpoint the fault.

On October 20, 2012, my wife came home from work and stated that the brakes were not working properly (I.e. brake pedal dropped almost to the floor at times and brakes did not engage properly) on our 2010 Toyota Venza and that a message was illuminated in the center console computer system that stated, "brake system failure. Contact your dealership immediately!". I contacted the dealership, informed them that the brakes were not working correctly and of the illuminated message, and was instructed to bring the vehicle into the dealership. I drove the vehicle into the dealership and on the way the brake system occasionally did not engage properly again (2nd time in same day). I managed to cautiously drive to the dealership and inform the dealership that I did not want this vehicle back until they were able to identify the cause of the problem and fix the problem. On the same day, I was informed that the mechanic flushed the brake system, took the vehicle for a test drive, and the vehicle's brake system failed for a third time. I observed the mechanic plug his diagnostic lap top into our vehicle and he was unable to find any stored errors in the computer software (despite the fact the vehicle's brake system failed 3 times on different occasions for 3 different people on the same day). The dealership was unable to identify the cause of the problem, so on October 22, 2012 they contacted Toyota corporate's engineering department for guidance. Corporate instructed the dealership to replace the master cylinder and the ABS actuator. The dealership replaced these parts, conducted a test drive, and released this unsafe vehicle to my wife on October 23, 2012 never stating what caused the repeated brake failure. On October 26, 2012, the brake system again and was the cause of an accident. A formal complaint was filed with Toyota corporation and they are denying liability.

On September 14, 2010 my husband and I were driving our 2010 Toyota Venza on rte. 19S, in fayette, West Virginia. We accelerated our Venza to match ongoing traffic speeds, when the throttle stuck wide open and was increasing in speed. I stepped on the brakes, which failed to respond. I then checked the cruise control, to see if I had inadvertently engaged it, but I had not. I then started to pump the accelerator pedal with extreme force, and after numerous pumps, the throttle disengaged. As soon as it was safe, we pulled over to the side of the road, and called our dealership, courtesy Toyota. They instructed us to call 1(800)331-4331 to report the incident and have the vehicle towed to the nearest Toyota dealer. The car was brought to L&S Toyota city in beckley, wv, where they proceeded to perform an unintended acceleration inspection, but the tech was unable to duplicate the issue. They performed the recall of the pedal reshaping, which we had not been previously notified of, and cleared the vehicle for release to us, at this time, and advised us that if this should reoccur, to shift the vehicle into neutral and slow the car by braking. The issue was not related to the pedal shape or the driver mat, and was in fact a computer anomaly. When the anomaly occurred, it froze the throttle and blocked the braking system.. further more, the idea to shift into neutral is unsafe, as there were no brakes to slow the vehicle to a stop and would continue to coast onward at an uncontrollable velocity. I expect that Toyota company knows the defect lies in the computer control system, but may well believe the cost of claims and human lives is cheaper than fixing the very real problem. We purchased the Toyota Venza March 30, 2010 and were assured that, at that time, there were no recalls for it. The recall for our Venza was issued March 16, 2010, which had not been performed on our car, and we had not been aware of one until our very traumatic experience occurred.
