Common Toyota Problems

Toyota produces about 10 million vehicles per year, making it one of the largest manufacturers in the world. Unfortunately, not all Toyotas are safe to drive. Every year, thousands of Toyota cars, trucks, and SUVs are recalled due to serious defects. Many of these defects increase the risks of car accidents, injuries, and deaths.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration received the following number of complaints per Toyota model from 2020 to 2022:

If you purchase or lease a Toyota and have to bring it to the dealership repeatedly for a chronic problem, you may have a lemon. Reported Toyota Lemon Law issues include: engine, suspension, transmission, steering, electrical system, cooling system and airbags. Recent Toyota recalls have cited problems with the parking brake, child seat anchors, software system, axle shaft, rearview camera, skid control software, electrical system, and power steering.

Recent Toyota Recalls

There have been several Toyota recalls announced in the last year alone. For example, certain 2022 Lexus NX250, NX350, and Toyota Tundra vehicles were recalled due to an issue with the brake actuator assembly that can prevent the electric parking brake from being engaged. This recall impacted around 83,725 Toyota vehicles.

One of the largest Toyota recalls this year was a software problem that affected 458,054 vehicles. This defect increases the risk of a crash by disabling the stability control system. It affects certain 2022 Lexus LX, Toyota RAV4 HEV, 2021-2022 Lexus LS HEV, Lexus NX HEV, Lexus NX PHEV, RAV4 PRIME, Sienna, Toyota Mirai, Venza and 2020-2022 Toyota Highlander HEV vehicles.

What Are Your Rights Under the Toyota Lemon Law?

If you have purchased or leased a Toyota that ends up being a lemon, you are entitled to a remedy by the auto manufacturing company. Section 1790-1795.8 of the California Civil Code – also known as the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act – states that an automobile manufacturer is obligated to arrange prompt repairs for a defect that substantially impairs the use, value, or safety of the vehicle.

If the dealership cannot fix the problem within a reasonable number of attempts or a reasonable amount of time, the manufacturer is obligated to provide one of the following resolutions:

• A full refund of all amounts paid or payable, less a statutory mileage offset or “good use” credit for miles driven before the first repair attempt.
• A replacement Toyota vehicle of the same MSRP (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price) value.
• A cash settlement, which should include compensation for any out-of-pocket costs, such as auto repairs, towing fees, a rental car, and attorney’s fees.

In California, no specific number constitutes a “reasonable” number of repair attempts. Instead, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. If your Toyota constitutes a lemon under California law, you have the right as a consumer to choose your desired resolution. Young & Young APC assists vehicle owners/lessees when manufacturers such as Toyota breach this obligation.
