Questions to ask the seller
- Any shudder, whine or slipping from the CVT? Ask for CVT fluid service records.
- Toyota sent dealers 92 repair notes for this car. Was this one done: “2022 model year Toyota vehicles are equipped with driver side floor mat retainers to secure…”?
From this year's own recalls, top problems, top repair bills and Toyota's repair notes. Recall repairs are free at any dealer.
How serious. Out of all 1 owner complaints filed so far (every year since it was sold, not just the first 3), owners reported:
“Average car” = what the same number of complaints would include at the rate across every model year we track. Owners report these themselves; NHTSA doesn't confirm the cause.
What owners complain about most. From owner complaints to the government.
Share of this year's owner complaints filed with NHTSA, not the share of cars that break. One complaint can name more than one area.
