Dear NHTSA, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a matter of significant concern regarding water leakage in my vehicle, which I believe has the potential to compromise the safety and functionality of the car's electronic systems. I would like to submit this report to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to ensure that appropriate measures are taken to address and rectify this issue promptly. During the rainy season, I have observed water leaks occurring on both sides of the front section of my vehicle. This water infiltration has raised serious concerns about the possibility of damage to the car's computer system, thereby posing a potential risk of car malfunction. The electronic components of modern vehicles, including vital control units and sensors, are susceptible to water damage. In the event of such damage, there is a heightened risk of malfunctions that could compromise the overall safety and performance of the vehicle. Furthermore, I have identified an additional water leakage issue through the panoramic roof at the backside of the car. This raises the likelihood of water seeping into the interior of the vehicle, potentially damaging interior components, electrical wiring, and compromising the structural integrity of the car. I am reaching out to the NHTSA with the intention of highlighting the severity of these issues and advocating for a comprehensive investigation into the water leakage concerns in my vehicle model. I believe that swift action is necessary to prevent any potential safety hazards that may arise from compromised electronic systems or structural damage due to water infiltration. In light of the safety implications associated with water damage to the vehicle's electronic components, I urge the NHTSA to initiate a thorough examination of this matter. Your prompt attention to this matter is crucial in ensuring the safety of drivers and passengers who may be affected by similar issues.

My 2009 Venza requires an entire roof seal replacement to stop leaking from all sides of the roof. I was quoted $1k. There should be a recall or some portion of this cost covered by Toyota.

ABS, ESC, AND BRAKE INDICATOR LIGHTS RANDOMLY DISPLAY UPON DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THEY DISPLAY INTERMITTENTLY, SOMETIMES AFTER 1/4 MILE OF DRIVING, OTHER TIMES AFTER 25 MILES OF DRIVING. THEY DISPLAY ON SMOOTH OR ROUGH ROADS, WITH NO APPARENT CAUSE. WHILE I HAVE NOT YET HAD AN ACCIDENT OR SYSTEM FAIL, IT IS OF CONCERN BECAUSE I TRANSPORT MY DAUGHTER IN THIS VEHICLE. ON A VEHICLE THAT HAS 50,000 MILES ON IT AND OTHER DOCUMENTED CASES OF THIS AS WELL, I BELIEVE THIS IS A CAUSE FOR CONCERN. I AM NOT SURE OF THE CAUSE OR THE SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM AS OF YET. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE IN MOTION WHEN THE LIGHTS APPEAR EITHER. THEY APPEAR AT STOP SIGNS OR LIGHTS, WHEN DRIVING SLOWLY, OR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I AM UNAWARE IF THE SYSTEMS THEMSELVES STOP WORKING UPON THE INDICATORS ACTIVATION OR NOT. I BELIEVE THAT THIS WARRANTS MORE INVESTIGATION AND POSSIBLY A SAFETY RECALL AS ABS AND ESC ARE SAFETY FEATURES AND BRAKES ARE (FROM MY CIVILIAN PERSPECTIVE) A NECESSARY FUNCTION FOR THE VEHICLES SAFE OPERATION.

ON 4/21/2018, I WAS DRIVING AT 75 MPH DOWN A MOUNTAIN FREEWAY IN ARIZONA FROM 5600 ELEVATION TO 2300 FT WHEN MY SUNROOF BLEW A HOLE OUT FROM THE CENTER OF THE MIDDLE LANE OF GLASS. THE WHOLE PANE CRACKED AND BEGAN TO DISINTEGRATE. THANKFULLY THE SUNROOF AND PROTECTIVE COVER WERE CLOSED. AT FIRST I THOUGHT A ROCK HAD SOMEHOW CAUSED THE BREAK UNTIL THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER POINTED OUT THAT THE EDGES OF THE GLASS WERE PUSHING UPWARD INDICATING THE GLASS BLEW UPWARDS FROM THE CABIN. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE FIRST TIME WAS ON A CITY STREET AT 40 MPH IN COLORADO AT 6000 FT ELEVATION. TOYOTA NO LONGER MAKES THE VENZA. THE GLASS ON THE SUNROOF SHOULD BE MADE WITH A PROTECTIVE COATING TO KEEP IT FROM COMING APART IN A THOUSAND PIECES.

THE "SRS AIRBAG" WARNING LIGHT COMES ON FOR NO REASON. SOMETIMES IT'S WHILE I'M DRIVING, SOMETIMES IT'S WHEN I'M IN PARK AND GET OUT OF THE CAR IF IT'S STILL ON. THERE'S NO RHYME OR REASON TO IT. I'VE TAKEN IT TO A TOYOTA DEALER AND A LEXUS DEALER AND HAVE HAD MANY OF MY AIRBAG SENSORS REPLACED AND NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK FOR VERY LONG. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM SINCE I'LL BE NEEDING TO GO GET MY EMISSIONS DONE IN THE SPRING. IT'S ALSO COST ME $1000'S IN REPAIR COSTS FOR A "FIX" THAT DOESN'T WORK.

MY SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE WOULD NOT STAY IN PLACE AND WHEN I APPLIED A LITTLE PRESSURE THE VISOR BROKE AROUND THE HOLE WHERE IT CONNECTS TO THE ROOF PIECE. I WAS DRIVING. THEN IT WOULD HANG IN MY FACE AND I COULD NOT SEE WELL. AT STOP SIGNS I WAS TRYING TO REMOVE IT BUT THE FABRIC AROUND IT PREVENTED THAT. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO REMOVE IT AND CURRENTLY HAVE NO VISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE NOW.

OUR 2009 VENZA HAS HAD 3 SPEED SENSOR FAILURES IN THE LAST YEAR. GOOD THING WE HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THAT EXPIRES IN ABOUT 10,000 MILES? WHEN I ASKED TOYOTA THIS QUESTION, THEY SAID TO CALL BACK WHEN ANOTHER WHEN BROKE. I'M SURE THAT WON'T BE LONG. IN MY OPINION, TOYOTA HAS SOLD A PRODUCT WITH A DEFECTIVE PART AND DOESN'T REALLY CARE. THIS WAS OUR FIRST TOYOTA AND LAST TOYOTA PURCHASE.

I NOTICED MY TOYOTA VENZA'S ROOF MOLDING STRIP WAS LOOSE DURING A CAR WASH. I PUT IT BACK; HOWEVER, ONE WEEK LATER THE ROOF MOLDING STRIP WAS GONE. I WENT TO DEALER, AND WAS TOLD MY CAR WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, EVEN THE MILEAGE STILL UNDER 36000 MILES. THEN I SEARCHED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS. I BELIEVE TOYOTA SHOULD MAKE A RECALL FOR THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT BEFORE ACCIDENTS HAPPEN.
