Description of the problem | 1. Experienced sudden acceleration problem at a signal light 2. To control sudden acceleration, need to push brakes harder than a non hybrid car 3. In the reverse direction, it goes too fast without pushing the gas, this may cause a crash missing extra tire and the accessories (jack, lug wrench, other tools etc) even though there is a slotted place holder there. (shame on toyota for doing this, to order a new kit this will cost approx $1,500 per missing kit, if you were to order individually, this can potentially be a serious personal safety issue if you're in a bad neighborhood and waiting for tow truck vs quickly change the tire and leave) 4. Cheap soft tires, got a screw within 2 months? Called toyota , towing is free, but you must pay for the flat repair or buy a new tire (about $250) every time there is flat as you do not have extra tire, jack, lug wrench. (this can be racketeering - shame on toyota for doing this) 5. 2nd car (2021 hybrid) came with the low brake fluid levels, close to the low/middle vs brand new car with new brakes, fluid level should be close to maximum. (shame on toyota for doing this and playing cheap, besides safety issue) 6. To repair flat tire, the air pump and glue kit is a joke, this doesn't work - toyota should provide non-flat able tires before this genius mickey-mouse invention. (shame on toyota for doing this) *dt*jb |
