CAR SMELLED OF GAS FROM THE TIME I BOUGHT IT (NEW) AFTER IT WAS STARTED AND IT WAS DRIVEN FOR A FEW MILES. SITTING OVERNIGHT, THE SMELL WOULD DISSIPATE, BUT THE SAME THING HAPPENED EACH DAY -- STRONG GAS SMELL AFTER A FEW MILES OF DRIVING . COLDER WEATHER, THE SMELL WAS MORE PRONOUNCED. DEALER DIDN'T SEE ANY DRIPPING GAS, SO SENT ME HOME TWICE WITHOUT REPAIRS BEING DONE. AFTER THEY KEPT IT OVERNIGHT, THEY SMELLED THE SMELL IN THE MORNING AND ONLY THEN DECIDED TO CALL TOYOTA WHO SAID THERE HAS BEEN A FEW PROBLEMS WITH INJECTOR SEALS. IT WAS REPA…

VEHICLE EXHIBITS PERIODS OF ROUGH ACCELERATION, CHUGGING, AND HESITATION. AFTER 3 TRIPS TO DIFFERENT TOYOTA DEALERS THEY REFUSE TO ADDRESS PROBLEM.

CAR STALLS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. HAPPENS ON HIGHWAY STOP AND GO AND WHEN ENTERING A JUNCTION AFTER A STOP SIGN. AFTER THE STALL THE CAR JERKS AS IT SUDDENLY LACKS TORQUE AND GOES TO A LOWER GEAR. TOYOTA TECHNICIAN SAID THAT TRACTION CONTROL SHUTS OFF FUEL. THIS IS DANGEROUS SINCE IT LEAVES YOU STALLED AFTER GOING INTO A JUNCTION. THEY ISSUED A TSB 0197-17 THAT DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND THEY CLAIM THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM AND THAT IT IS A DRIVING STYLE ISSUE.

LOST STEERING ABILITY FROM SOME CAUSE AFTER A LANE CHANGE, ON A HIGHWAY, VEHICLE CONTINUED INTO THE SHOULDER AND WOULD NOT ALLOW CORRECTION INTO THE LANE. POSSIBLE CAUSE IN MY OPINION MAY HAVE BEEN A L. FRONT TIRE BLOW OUT OR A STEERING LINKAGE ISSUE OR POSSIBLY THE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS NEW. IF THE TIRE BLEW OUT PRIOR TO THE RESULTING COLLISION, IT WAS EITHER DEFECTIVE OR PICKED UP DEBRIS ON THE HIGHWAY.
