The car severely vibrates even on low speed which makes driving like riding a horse. Also it doesn't accelerate properly when I want to, which is really dangerous in many situations. It can cause accidents. There's noise comes from transmission and brakes all the time. I went to the dealer twice and the technician tried to play the idiot game by saying I see nothing wrong. I contacted Toyota and they told me that if I'm crazy enough to buy their car, I should keep quiet. I moved to CA recently and with heavy traffic, the car becomes really annoying.
At 40 mph the car vibrates because its in overdrive, if going up small hill even worse, the car is always trying to shift to the highest gear causing the car to vibrate.
