1.TWICE WITHIN 1ST YEAR: THE CAR ACCELERATED QUICKLY WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD; IT WAS HARD TO STOP. I THOUGHT THE FLOOR MAT WAS UNDER THE GAS PEDAL. LATER, THE CAR SUDDENLY REVVED UP AND ACCELERATED AS I WAS LEAVING A PARKING LOT. AFTER I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE GAS, IT KEPT INCREASING SPEED. NOTHING WAS IN THE WAY OF THE PEDAL THAT TIME. I WAS ABLE TO GAIN CONTROL. (THE SERVICE TECH TOLD ME THE EXPERIENCE I RELAYED TO HIM WAS NOT POSSIBLE.) STILL, THE CAR ACCELERATES BY ITSELF, MOST RECENTLY THREE DAYS AGO. I HAD IT SET AT 60 MPH ON CRUISE CONTROL. IT WOULDN'T STAY AT 60. I HAD TO DECREASE THE CRUISE SPEED 3 OR 4 TIMES. I ROUTINELY HAVE TO MANUALLY REDUCE THE CRUISE CONTROL SPEED BY BUMPING THE LEVER DOWN. I HAVE BECOME USED TO THIS MALFUNCTION. TOYOTA EMPLOYEES DENIED A DEFECT AND REFUSED TO REPAIR THE FAULTY PARTS. DURING THE FIRST 18 MONTHS, I TOOK MY CAR IN APPROXIMATELY 20 TIMES. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. 2.RAIN ENTERS ABOVE THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW. ODI ID NUMBER:10242104 HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED BECAUSE OF THE SAME COMPLAINT ON THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL. 3.THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE HAD TO BE REPLACED TWICE DURING THE FIRST 6 MONTHS I HAD THE CAR BECAUSE THE TIRES IN THAT POSITION DAMAGED QUICKLY FOR NO LEGITIMATE CAUSE. I HAD TO BUY A WHOLE SET OF TIRES BEFORE THE CAR HAD 18,000 MILES ON IT BECAUSE THEY WERE WEARING SO BADLY THAT THEY WERE UNSAFE. THIS COINCIDES WITH ODI ID NUMBER:10269039 CITING THE SAME PROBLEMS ON ANOTHER 07 SOLARA CONVERTIBLE. 4.THE SOFT TOP HAS UNRAVELED IN TWO PLACES ABOVE THE FRONT WINDSHIELD AT THE SEAM WHERE IT IS SEWN TOGETHER. TOYOTA'S RESPONSE HAS VARIED FROM: NOTHING WRONG WITH IT, I MUST HAVE DAMAGED IT, AND IT ISN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. 5.THE ELECTRONIC SEAT STUCK. IT WAS LEFT IN A FORWARD POSITION (AS IF TO ALLOW ACCESS TO THE BACK SEAT). THE TECH SAID THE CAR DIDN'T HAVE POWER SEAT FUNCTIONS. I TOLD HIM I'D PAID FOR ONE ON MY ITEMIZED BILL AND I'D BEEN USING IT. UNREPAIRED, IT RESUMED WORKING BY ITSELF WEEKS LATER. *TR

LEASED A 2007 SLE CONVERTIBLE. AT 23K MILES I HAD TO REPLACE ALL FOUR TIRES. THEY WERE PROPERLY ROTATED AS SPECIFIED AND TWO OF THE TIRES WERE SHOWING THE WIRES/INSIDE LININGS! TOYOTA TOLD ME TO SEEK HELP FROM BRIDGESTONE - BRIDGESTONE TOLD ME TO GO BACK TO TOYOTA, IT'S A LEASE UNDER IT'S MILEAGE. TOYOTA DID NOT HONOR AND BLAMED THE TIRES FOR BEING TOO SOFT! UNACCEPTABLE AND I WON'T BE GETTING ANOTHER TOYOTA SINCE I HAD TO SPEND OVER $600 IN TIRES. *TR

PURCHASED TOYOTA SOLARA AUG, 2007. TIRES ARE @ 15K MILES AND THE TREAD IS SHOT. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY STATED SEE MANUFACTURER FOR WARRANTY. TOYOTA STATED THEY WOULD SELL ME NEW TIRES AND THEN WARRANTY TREADWARTE. WENT TO BRIDESTONE DEALER AND THEY WOULD NOT HONOR TREAD WARRANTY. SO BASICALLY IF YOU BUY A NEW CAR YOU GET NO TIRE WARRANTY. I THINK THIS IS CONSUMER FRAUD. *TR
