Complaints on fileComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

NEW 1992 TOYOTA 3VZE LONG BED TRUCK BLEW THE HEADGASKET THREE TIMES, ABOUT 6 MONTHS APART & AS IT WAS A "CAMPAIGN" & NOT A RECALL THE DEALERSHIPS WOULD NOT FIX IT UNTIL I CALLED TOYOTA MFG. EACH REPAIR, I HAD TO PAY APPROX $1K TO $2K AND THE FIRST TWO TIMES THEY USED THE SAME DEFECTIVE GASKET! I HAD ALSO COMPLAINED ABOUT THE STEERING FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT IT AS IT WILL NOT MAKE A SHARP LEFT TURN WHEN MOVING SLOW, MOSTLY IN 4-WHEEL DRIVE. I WAS TOLD ALL 4X4'S ARE LIKE THAT. I KNOW BETTER THAN THAT! MY 66 LAND ROVER & 78 LAND CRUISER DO NOT HAVE A STEERING PROBLEM IN ANY GEAR AT ANY SPEED. IT FINALLY STOPPED BLOWING HEADGASKETS, BUT IT IS STILL USELESS OFFROAD DUE TO THE STEERING ! MECHANICAL FAILURES ON A NEW VEHICLE ARE BAD ENOUGH, BUT THE TREATMENT & LIES FROM THE DEALERSHIPS GUARANTEE THAT I WILL NEVER BUY OR RECOMMEND ANYTHING TOYOTA AGAIN ! *JB
