Toyota was contacted, but say not a recall and they don't honestly car cause car is old . That's not right , anything you still use from cars or even medicine have later come back to hurt or killed people. There is no hot to cold gauge in the car , 2003 only . I have investigated and see people publish about this but let it slip by . I was driving with no installed guauge and survived through make a left hand turn on a stalled vehicle that over heated and was later check by Toyota technicians that said f there was a thermostat gauge problem would of most likely be avoided. Somebody can't keep open and closing the radiator cap cause of this missing gauge . Oil has dipstick you check !!! safely too. Not going fry my face or burn my hands on keep checking the radiator. Plus with a proper guage you might know if your car is cooled down or safer to check. Toyota had refused to address or claim any issues. Case# 1707283203.

Since the first month after buying the car, gas mileage has been no more than 30 miles per gallon, which is at least 20 miles less than advertised. . . On more than one occasion the car has jerked forward in traffic almost causing accidents and when driving more than 60 mph the car loses control, also the car has shut off numerous times while driving 60 mph almost causing more accidents.
