The electrical in my car flickers off and on the dome lights my headlights my license plate lights flicker off and on all the time now my driver visor light will not come on when I am driving in motion I can hear sometimes they squeaking noise sometimes I grinding noise and I feel like my car is going all over the place my tires are being worn out way more than they should I was told my struts were leaking and then I was told I would they were not I don't know but at times I do not feel safe driving in this car and for some reason I have to keep changing my brakes almost every 5 months 6 months or so they need to be checked because my brakes will feel like they are going out but I do have brake pads on them still but in order for my car not to make certain noises or drive sometimes a certain way I need to put brand new pads on even though I have new pads on already.
Driving out of my neighborhood at 5 miles and malfunction of "low tire pressure warning"' light never come on until my tire was completely flat and vehicle become non-operational.
While trying to brake, my car accelerated and I almost hit the cars infront of me. I was getting off the highway to the rotary and there was cars stopped in front of me and I tried to brake and the car accelerated instead.
Our 2010 Toyota Venza is experiencing an intermittent left head lamp failure. When the bulb was tested it operated fine the light will go on after much playing with the switch. This problem has only gotten worse over the past few weeks. This is clearly a health and safety issue.
Toyota 2009 Venza systemic speed sensor failures: right rear speed sensor 1/17/2015: left rear speed sensor may 2013: left front speed sensor April 2012 in each case, the antilock brake system (abs) and the vehicle stability control (vsc) systems were disabled, creating hazardous vehicle operation, especially in snow/ice. Researching, I determined that no recall had been issued, but that knowledge of the defective speed sensors and that their failure disabled the abs and traction control systems were common knowledge. I notified Toyota customer assistance center of my concern, on January 22, 2015 (Toyota case # 1501222476), and made formal request for full reimbursement of the charges for the third repair on the basis that Venza speed sensor failures are a systemic, recognized issue causing hazardous driving conditions, and clearly should have been the subject of a recall long past. I notified Toyota that the criteria for notification of the issue to the department of transportation, national highway traffic safety administration (NHTSA) were clearly met. Per united states code for motor vehicle safety (title 49, chapter 301), motor vehicle safety is defined as ¿the performance of a motor vehicle or motor vehicle equipment in a way that protects the public against unreasonable risk of accidents occurring because of the design, construction, or performance of a motor vehicle, and against unreasonable risk of death or injury in an accident, and includes nonoperational safety of a motor vehicle. � Toyota rejected my request 3/10/15 on the basis that it did not meet the criteria of their new vehicle limited warranty, completely disregarding the stated concern. Given that Toyota has willfully chosen to not address the recall and hazard issues raised, this complaint is submitted.
On January 8th,2015 I had the right front wheel speed sensor replaced on our vehicle. An internet check revealed that a technical service bulletin ref: TSB 0031-12 was issued. Nhtsa ref: 10052153 for the 2009 Venza was also issued due to numerous complaints of faulty wheel speed sensors. The faulty wheel speed sensor caused 3 warning lights to come on. The abs, vsc and brake system warning lights could you please include this VIN if a recall is announced. Thank you.
Bridgestone dueler h/l 400 was the oe tires on my 2011 Toyota Venza. The tires ran well on dry road with low noise but do not assist braking very well. The big problem was on the snow and icy road driving. The car slid at any moment when applying a little quicker braking. Our state has longer winter time and a lot of snows. We always felt very nervous driving in winter and the winter driving became very dangerous with those tires. I replaced 4 tires in December 2014 at 37100 miles mainly because of the terrible control on snow and icy road condition of the tires and also we want get rid of the bad feeling of winter driving. In addition, the tires were worn out pretty fast too. I owned multiple vehicles in the last 20 more years, dueler h/l 400 tires are the worst tires I have ever had. Thanks for the tire rack. Com. The website has provided customers a clean and free environment to post their reviews and ratings on tires. Bridgestone dueler 400 has a very low rating and a lot of complaints on this site. I tried to post my review on bridgestone website twice, but I have been refused twice. This is because my review cannot pass their guidelines. Dueler 400 has a customer satisfy rating of 89% in bridgestone website. This rating perhaps will last forever there.
I own a 2009 Toyota Venza. Recently by rotating the wheels, I noticed the nuts were loosen. So when taking the wheels out, I noticed that the disc brakes were not tighten to the lugs and could roll back and forth by the little bit of the space between the lugs and the lugs' holes. They would be tighten when the wheels were on and tighten with the wheels' nuts. I use my educated guess to guess that when I brake the car, the disc brakes will have a chance to roll in reverse direction of the wheels in that little bit of the space. When I back up the car, then brake, again, the disc brakes will roll the other direction. This action will result in loosing the wheels' nuts after a short while. We have other cars from other manufactures, and we found that they don't design the same way, which the disc brakes are tighten to the lugs alone. I wrote this same email to Toyota, but I don't think they will answer me. I think this is another safety issue. If owners who don't pay attention to retighten the wheels after 5000-7000 miles, they will face a chance of loosing a wheel on the freeway. Please put your engineers to test this issue to help bringing more safety to everyone. Thank you.
