Takata recall there was a recall on the vehicle and we have called our dealership to ask to schedule a date where we can take in the car to have the problem fixed. we have called the dealership 3 times now and every single time, we were told that the repair would not yet be checked at. we have even contacted their headquarters once and were sent to voicemail. toyota has done a terrible job at addressing this problem and we are extremely angered by their incompetent work and disregard of consumers (especially after the purchase of the vehicle). the place where we have called 3 times is 713-270-3951 and one of the people who answered the call would be lenette.
When hold function is active in vehicle if progressively slowing down when you are nearing a full halt the car makes weird screeching and clanking sound and brings car to a sudden abrupt stop. if you get to a full stop by decelerating pretty quickly this will not happen, but if you decelerate slowly it will happen every time.
The vehicle will not start. the following error messages appear simultaneously when trying to start the vehicle "brake override malfunction. visit your dealer", drive-start control malfunction.visit your dealer", "engine oil pressure low", "engine coolant temperature high. stop in a safe place. see owner's manual". the vehicle has less than 5100 miles. the vehicle was parked for more than 2 hours (after a 35 miles drive) in my driveway in southern california. temperatures were in the high 40's/low 50's.
