WAS ASKED TO STOP USING MY PASSENGER FRONT SEAT MANY MONTHS AGO AND STILL THERE IS NO REPAIR FOR THIS PROBLEM. NOW I HAVE RECEIVED A NOTICE THAT THE POWER SLIDING DOORS SHOULD NOT BE USED WITH THE POWER ASSIST, THEY ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO OPEN AND CLOSE MANUALLY. THIS VEHICLE IS NOW VIRTUALLY USELESS. MY WIFE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE THE POWER DOORS HAVE TO BE OPERATED MANUALLY AND NO ONE CAN SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. TOYOTA SHOULD SUPPLY US WITH A VEHICLE THAT ACTUALLY FUNCTIONS UNTIL THIS REPAIR IS DONE.

I WAS TRAVELING IN AN AREA SURROUNDED BY CONSTRUCTION BARRELS TRYING TO NAVIGATE MY TURN. THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED SUDDENLY, AND I HIT HIM IN THE REAR. THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED ALMOST $9000 WORTH OF DAMAGE, HOWEVER WAS NOT TOTALED. THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. WE ASKED TOYOTA FOR AN EXPLANATION, AND THEY FINALLY SENT A THIRD PARTY TO INVESTIGATE. WE WERE SENT THE DOWNLOAD OF THE CRASH DATA RECORDER, BUT NO EXPLANATION OF WHAT IT MEANT, AND TOYOTA DETERMINED THAT THE AIRBAG WAS NOT FAULTY, EVEN THOUGH THE CRASH DATA RECORDER SHOWS I HIT SOMEONE FRONT-TO-REAR TRAVELING 38 MILES PER HOUR. AFTER WAITING 3 MONTHS ON TOYOTA, WE FINALLY GAVE UP AND ARE HAVING THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. I HAVE A CHRONIC NECK CONDITION WHICH WAS NOT CAUSED BY THE ACCIDENT BUT WAS GREATLY AGGRAVATED AND MADE MORE PAINFUL FROM THE ACCIDENT. WE HAVE ASKED TOYOTA FOR AN EXPLANATION OF THE DATA FROM THE RECORDER, BUT HAVE NOT BEEN PROVIDED ONE, ONLY SENT A LETTER STATING TOYOTA WAS NOT AT FAULT AND THAT INJURIES SUCH AS MINE AREN'T PROVEN TO BE PREVENTED BY THE AIRBAG. ..UPDATED 11/03/14 *BF UPDATED 4/28/2015 *JS *TR

I WAS TRYING TO PARK MY VAN INSIDE A CAMPSITE, DRIVING AT APPROX 1.2 MPH WHEN MY VAN TOOK OFF LIKE A ROCKET. I COULDN'T STOP THE CAR EVEN BY BRAKING. LUCKILY MY VAN WENT INTO A DITCH, AIRBAGS OPENED UP, VAN WENT DOWN THE DITCH AND CAME UP AT AN ANGLE AND STOPPED. I WAS BADLY HURT AND PASSED OUT FOR FEW MINUTES, TAKEN TO A LOCAL HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOM. THE 16 PAGE REPORT ORDERED BY TOYOTA THRU' A 3RD PARTY CLEARLY SHOWED THAT THE CAR WENT FROM 1.2 MPH TO 31.5 MPH, ENGINE RPM WENT FROM 800 TO 4800 RPM IN 4.2 SECS. I CHECKED WITH A REPUTABLE AUTO MECHANIC. HE COMMENTED THAT NO ONE CAN MANUALLY RAMP THE ENGINE RPM TO 4800 RPM. IT IS CLEARLY AN ISSUE WITH TOYOTA'S ELECTRONIC SYSTEM. TOYOTA HAS DENIED ANY ISSUE WITH THEIR CAR IN A LETTER TO ME.I WANT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRANSPORTATION SAFETY ADMIN TO TAKE MY CASE AGAINST TOYOTA. I WILL BE GLAD TO EMAIL THE REPORT AND TOYOTA LETTER TO YOU. PLEASE REPLY SOON. *TR
