When purchasing the car and leaving the car lot i heard a grinding/rubbing noise which sounds just like brake pads being worn as well as rotors. I contacted the car lot and they assured me it was from rust where it had sit. They had me take it to toyota of kingsport and they evaluated stating it was rust. I still hear the rubbing or loudness after they replaced the rotors. Please recall

I'm a trooper with the oregon state police. I covered a crash today where the mentioned vehicle braked for the driver, but the brake lights never engaged. I spoke to another toyota owner on scene who stated his toyota does the same when the vehicle is braking for him. The driver behind this toyota was able to stop in time, but i can see this lack of brake lights as a problem.

The cruise control is just awful and has been since i bought the car brand new in december 2016. Just as several others have described, it cannot control the speed when going down hill. It raises the rpm's trying to slow the car down, but it isn't very effective. I've never had another car or another toyota have such poor speed control. So much, that i don't even bother trying to use it anymore. A cop isn't going to…

Brakes are slvery soft and have been since 500 miles; and from day one have seemed to soften over time. Braking distance in my opinion is dangerous from the factory. I've had them adjusted twice and i'm about to have it done a third time. I bought the car new and have driven 22k miles. Toyota says there is nothing wrong but since the pedal feel is better after they adjusted them, and slowly gets worse they obviously…

It went through a wooden fence, i continued to apply the bakes, but the car didn't respond and kept going until it hits the wall of the adjacent building.

The automatic emergency braking does not appear to be working. I have never noticed the vehicle automatically apply the brakes to slow down the vehicle when approaching another vehicle. The vehicle only automatically slows down when i am using autonomous cruise control.

While coming to a stop at a stoplight, a car come out if no where. I tried to slam on the brake to come to a stop faster but the breaking system did not react to the pedal being pressed down. I was met with a stiff pedal and i could feel the brakes pushing back which caused me to hit another car that had already entered into an intersection.
