Within 6 months the new vehicle showed significant corrosion on 80% of the frame welds where the frame is connected to other structural parts, suspension and steering. This was taken to Toyota as a warranty claim. Ultimately a Washington State lemon law arbitration awarded replacement of the vehicle (Wash State AG File# 240122 5 September 2024)

THERE IS A LARGE SCREEN IN THE VEHICLE AND THE OEM SENDS MESSAGES TO ME THAT ARE EXTREMELY DISTRACTING AND HAZARDOUS AS THE ONE I RECENTLY RECEIVED WAS RECALL NOTICE TELLING ME THAT THE REAR AXEL COULD FALL OFF THE CAR. I RECEIVED THIS "TEXT" WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH AND IT SCARED ME AND GAVE ME A PANIC ATTACK. IT IS ILLEGAL FOR ME AS A DRIVER TO TEXT AND DRIVE YET IT SEEMS PERFECTLY OK FOR THE OEM TO TEXT ME WHILE I AM DRIVING AND FOCES ME TO READ THEIR MESSAGE. THIS IS A FLAGRANT AND COMPLETELY OBVIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. WHY THE ENGINEERS AT TOYOTA WERE NOT SMART ENOUGH TO REALIZ THIS IS A PREVENTABLE SAFETY HAZARD IS SHOCKING! iT IS ALSO SHOCKING AT THE FEDERAL REGULATORS ARE NOT TAKING ACTION WITHOUT PRODDING FROM A CONSUMER. PLEASE FIX THIS SAFETY HAZARD AS IN ADDITION TO THE STUPID TEXT I ALSO RECEIVED A HUGE YELLOW HAZARD SIGN THAT BLOCKED MY VIEW OF MY SPEDOMETER SO THERE ARE TWO HAZARDS THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED. I URGE YOU TO DO A RECALL OF THESE ISSUE...
