Panoramic sunroof malfunctioned a third time. The first two times they stated it was fixed but this third time they decided to say my car was somehow vandalized causing the sunroof not to function properly. So that means they won't fix it anymore. Sounds like a number of people have had problems with the same sunroof. If someone vandalized my car why would they stand on my sunroof to just vandalize it? Sunroof will…

With the vehicle vibrating, the car is placed in "d" drive and the foot is applied to the accelerator for acceleration but the vehicle does not move. The vehicle is then placed back into "p" park and the vehicle continues to vibrate until it shuts…

I purchased this vehicle from mark jackobson toyota on or about 8/20/2017. According to the recall notice in the government data base, the recall for the "rear assist arm bracket weld may break" was issued on or about 7/21/2016. I believe that the dealership that sold me this vehicle should have never let my wife drive the above vehicle off the car lot due to the potential of catastrophic failure. I would like this…

The vehicle while traveling at various speeds will violently and suddenly try to momentarily move either left or right from its normal straight ahead forward moving position. The movement is much like when a car experiences a very strong gust of wind from the side when traveling at higher speeds, except in these cases there is no outside forces involved. These events seem to be random when they occur with no braking…
