I put vehicle in park and got out to close a gate on my farm property. When I realized the vehicle started rolling backwards, I tried to get back in to stop it. The door knocked me down and pick up almost ran over me. I did a backwards summersalt to get out of the way of rolling pickup. When I was finally able to get up and get to pick up, it had slowed due to the jack knifing of the bale buggy I was towing. Plastic and rubber in the shifter had to be pushed back inside shifter case before I could put back in park position. Later that same day, I put in park in parking lot and it jumped into reverse again. Luckily I was still in vehicle. I believe the problem is in the shifter console but actual problem is unknown. This has happened a total of 4 times. Twice I was out of vehicle. Twice I was still in drivers seat. Only one time did this problem result in injury.

Car is losing power while driving.

The vehicle exhibits an intermittent rubbing or metal-on-metal grinding noise from the rear wheels when making turns. Inspection revealed that the rear brake disks are rubbing on the metal brake disk shield during lateral loading experienced in turns. The problem has gotten more frequent and more pronounced over the past 12-18 months and 10-15k miles. Toyota believes the cause is failed rear axle bearings. The vehicle has about 72k miles and has always been serviced regularly and at a Toyota dealership. Toyota has a technical service bulletin (t-sb-0013-13) on the issue but they claim this is normal wear and will not warranty the problem. In my opinion this is a serious defect of a major drive train system and not normal wear.
