      My new 2024 RAV 4 Limited Hybrid has two microphones, one on the drivers side and one on the passengers side. The one on the passenger side does not work. Have taken car to dealership 3 times with problem so they could get with different people to look at car. Have not resolved problem. The dealership was Toyota Of *********, They concluded it was an Apple iphone compatibility issue. I contacted *****, they have heard nothing on the issue but were confident it could not be iphone problem since there was no problem with drivers side microphone working. We believe that since Toyota sold us the product they should be front and center in resolving it.

      I am rejecting this response because:  Toyota has only said they will review compliant. They have made no response to the problem with car little less any initiation of a fix or repair. in essence they have done nothing to resolve compliant.

      I am rejecting this response because:   It is the same response as given on 3/27/2025. That they will review the compliant. They have made no response to the problem with the car , title less any to fix or repair. In essence they have done nothing to resolve compliant. I also find it interesting they give the same response to the complaint over again.

      The paint on the roof of my 2015 Toyota Rav4 is peeling very badly. Toyota has issued a Customer Support program related to this issue because of how widespread it is. It is an issue with the factory applied paint with certain colors. (Mine is color code 040 - Super White which is covered under the program.) They stated to me that the coverage for my vehicle ended on Nov 23, 2024. They never notified me of the issue in the first place. The first time I ever heard of this issue and related program was when I was researching online to see how my paint could start peeling so badly out of the blue. Turns out it was due to bad factory paint. I was never notified of the issue - they say they did notify me but they listed the wrong address when they told me where they sent it. I contacted Toyota's brand engagement center and was told there is nothing they can do and that there is nobody else at Toyota that could help handle my complaint. They refused to give me the contact information of someone else to help me. There is no damage to the vehicle in the area of peeling paint - it is clearly due to the factory defect (see attached picture). I think they should repaint my vehicle at no cost to me. They have acknowledged the manufacturer's defect with the paint, my vehicle is eligible and affected, I was never notified of the issue or of the related customer support program, and I am only 4 months outside the window of coverage. I think the right thing to do is extend coverage for my vehicle.

      We have reviewed the follow-up
      complaint filed by the Guest.
      As we have indicated, the vehicle is beyond the ZKG Customer Support Program parameters. As such, Toyota would be unwilling to offer
      compensation for any related repairs to the vehicle. While we understand the
      dissatisfaction with this decision, it represents Toyota's final position on
      this matter.
      In reviewing the case,
      we find that Toyota has met its obligations in regard to all expressly written warranties and are unable to grant the Guest’s request at this time.

      I am rejecting this response because: It is the exact same response as the first response. Which is the same response they say on the phone. Nobody is actually looking at the details of the case. They sent the notice of this paint replacement program to the wrong address as their first rep stated in my first call with them. Also, since it isn't a "safety" recall - it is not listed under recalls when you look up the VIN number online. There was no way of me knowing about this program until it was too late. I found it randomly online when I was trying to figure out how in the world the paint on the entire roof of my car is peeling out of the blue. It is unfortunate that a company with the reputation of Toyota fails to uphold that reputation-especially over something like repainting someone's car when they admit they made a pervasive mistake at the factory.

      I purchased a 2025 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid from A1 Toyota in *********, **, and it has had a persistent steering defect since the first day. The issue causes uneven resistance when turning left versus right, making it a safety concern.I have taken the car to the dealership multiple times, but Toyota has failed to fix the issue. After numerous unsuccessful service attempts, I formally requested a buyback under the Lemon Law (Case #************). However, Toyota has been deliberately delaying the process and refusing to provide a clear timeline.Additionally, Toyota is forcing me to continue making lease payments on a defective vehicle while they "review" my case. This is unethical and financially damaging.I demand the following:An immediate resolution to my buyback request.Compensation for the financial loss and distress Toyota has caused me.A formal commitment that Toyota will refund any payments I make during this delay.Toyota is failing to uphold its consumer responsibility, and I am now seeking BBBs assistance in resolving this matter.

      I am rejecting this response because:   

      I am not satisfied with Toyotas response. The steering defect in my 2025 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid remains unresolved despite multiple service visits. The issue significantly affects drivability, and Toyota has not offered any meaningful solution or compensation.


      This situation has caused me financial loss (Im an Uber driver unable to work for over 1.5 months), physical discomfort, and mental stress. Simply stating that my complaint has been forwarded is not a solution. I expect a formal resolution timeline and a commitment to either repurchase the vehicle under Lemon Law or provide a full repair and compensation for my losses.


      I am working with a Lemon Law attorney and will continue to escalate the matter if no progress is made.

      Purchased a new 2024 Grand Highlander in July of 2023. The vehicle has a well documented history of unintended braking while in reverse and more recently, also while in drive. The vehicle has been out of service for over 40 days. The vehicle has had 3 repair attempts at multiple Toyota dealerships with no resolution for the safety issues. The vehicle is well within the warranty length and mileage. Toyota has refused to continue to attempt to repair which puts Toyota in breach of contract/************ *****************

      I am rejecting this response because:   Please explain how this vehicle is not covered under the *** program and how the issue of peeling paint is relevant to this complaint. The complaint is due to concern of a safety issue - nothing cosmetic. The vehicle has not been inspected by a Toyota technician for the current issue despite attempts on behalf of the vehicle owner. In previous service diagnostics, it was confirmed that another braking issue is an existing safety concern and repairs were attempted but did not remedy the problem.

      I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against Toyota regarding my unresolved request for reimbursement related to transmission replacement issues with my vehicle.I have been experiencing significant problems with the transmission in my Toyota Camry, which prompted me to seek assistance for reimbursement after having it repaired. Despite my efforts to address this matter directly with Toyota, I have not been able to reach a satisfactory resolution. Previously, I contacted Toyota for assistance, but my request was denied on the grounds that the repair was not conducted at a local dealership. I explained that fixing the transmission at a dealership was unfeasible due to lengthy backorder timeframes, which left me with no option but to seek repairs elsewhere. I have documented my communications with Toyota, including attempts to escalate my concerns, but I continually receive responses that do not address the unique circumstances of my situation. I feel that my case deserves further attention, especially considering the numerous complaints from other Toyota Camry owners facing similar transmission issues, which can be found in online forums. As of now, I am requesting a formal review of my case and a fair resolution regarding my request for reimbursement. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. I look forward to your prompt response.

      I am rejecting this response because the vehicle has a known transmission defect that Toyota will not acknowledge. The vehicle was essentially worthless, and due to still owing a financial obligation, I was forced to repair the vehicle out of pocket. This was an exceptional circumstance and unfair to the customer.

      Toyota's management has failed to provide a quality product Toyota is so renowned for. Toyota's management needs to own up that the ******* Toyota Tacoma trucks have clearly a repeatable flaw in the manufacturing of their 3.5L ********** 2017 Tacoma truck had just rolled over ****** miles when the 'check engine' light came on. My on-board diagnostics told me it was a P11EE error code. I took my truck to my Toyota dealership's service department on February 26, 2025. The service department manager told me the P11EE error code was a 'known issue' with this vintage of Tacoma trucks and they see this issue on a consistent basis. Because of a cylinder head manufacturing defect, the valve(s) eventually stick open. This happens anywhere between ****** and ****** miles.The Toyota warranty on these trucks is for 5 years or ****** miles. Obviously, my warranty had expired leaving a $7403.92 repair bill and my truck in the Toyota's service department for over a week.I purchased my 2017 Toyota Tacoma brand new in January 2018. I also purchased the Toyota dealership's extended maintenance plan which provided service on my truck through ****** miles. I faithfully took my truck in for each of the scheduled maintenance intervals. I never towed any loads with my truck or did anything else out of the ordinary. Yet, I had a major engine failure after just ****** miles.An issue that is consistent and continues to repeat itself should be addressed. Toyota's management needs to admit there is a serious manufacturing defect with the ********* Tacoma truck 3.5L engines and provide an extended warranty and financial compensation to their owners. Not doing so in the near future, may destroy Toyota's reputation for building and standing up for their product quality.**** *******

      I am rejecting this response because:   Toyota management has lost the competitive edge on quality.  My 2017 truck repairs are a 'known manufacturing defect' but Toyota management keeps their heads stuck into the sand and deny it.  My solution is simple.  I will never buy a Toyota product again.

      I have been dealing with this issue since a repair was made on my truck. The brake pedal being depressed causes my headlight to dim for a second. When the brake booster engages the headlights dim. I have had it in service but everything they say it's normal. "Another like model on the lot does the same thing" even though I was promised to be shown the issue replicated. I'm very disappointed in the customer support here. I'm also very disappointed in a ****** dollar truck with dimming headlights. It's a 2023 Tacoma Off Road. I have been given the run around so much. It really is unbelievable. I own stock in the company and am a loyal customer. I am blown away that this is even happening.

      Hello! It is day 4 of me calling my Leinholder Toyota Motor. Im from IL and moved to **. I wanted to sell my vehicle. However based on the dealerships response they saw that my co-owner/mother/ is still on the title/loan. My mother passed away 4 years ago, may she rest in peace. So they advised me to call my leinholder and ask to see if she can be removed. It was supposed to be done 4 years ago as I've sent in the needed documents such as death certificate/will. I didn't expect to have this problem. I called the leinholder and they said they can't do it on their end and that I have to go to the **** I went to CA DMV and see if i can just register my vehicle. I still cant. So they advised me to call my leinholder again same answer. I then called the IL *** and they said I have to call the leinholder to be able to remove or at least do the change. Now I'm confused. BOTH *** from BOTH states told me to call my leinholder and they refuse to remove, take out the name, as because they don't have the ability too.. We've been playing phone tag and its been frustrating. Leinholder advised I do a replacement registration change name through IL **** I don't want to pay 50 just to be able to remove the name!!!! IT doesn't make sense. I called the IL *** again and said it is the leinholder's responsibility to remove the name so that I won't have any problems. ***** from *********** advised I file a complaint with you to help assist my situation. Bless her heart! I didn't expect to have to go through this level and have it escalated, but i kind of have to!.

      I own a 2023 Prius and the * charger for the phone will not work unless there is no protective case on it. My local Toyota, ******** in **********, *************, tells me that corporate Toyota tells them that the phone will not charge with a Magnetic case (the one with a white circle on the back, also known as a Mag Safe case). So I bought a non mag-safe and it did not work. And a second non-mag-safe and it did not work. I have also seen that the same problem exists on the 2024 Toyota, so they seem to be making no effort to fix the problem. I called Toyota and they gave me the case number noted below. No one returned my call.

      On 12/05/2024 I purchased a Yokohama 165/80D 17 YKTEMP S tire ($248.99) and Temporary Wheel ($152.99) for a total of $401.98 from Toyota of ********, ** after being told by this dealership, from whom I purchased my Crown Signia XLE on 11/15/2024, that it was the only spare tire option available for my vehicle. Since this spare tire doesn't fit into the spare tire recess in rear cargo area of my vehicle, I loose several inches of usable cargo space storing this ******** appears the dealership failed to do there "homework" in as much as Toyota sells a 155/85R18 Compact Spare specifically designed to fit in the rear cargo area tire storage compartment of my vehicle.The restitution I seek from this dealer's mistake is the exchange of my current spare (still in new/unused condition) for the 155/85R18 Compact Spare on mounted on wheel.
