The plastic guide covers are missing and I fear they cam off and have lodged inside the roof and cause the glass panel to hang and not open all the way and sometimes not close. I have taken it to my local Toyota dealer (which in itself is a horror story of bad customer service). They pretty much discounted everything I told them and said they would have to look into it and that it would be $4,000 plus to fix. It has no”

“Squeaks, rattles, and poping noise dealers were not able to resolve while vehicle was under warranty. My daughter has the same vehicle except one year newer. My daughter' vehicle has not experienced any of the squeaks, rattles or piping noises that I have. Hers is an LE and mine an XLE. Also, I have a passenger side airbag that under recall for the past year so I'm not even able to carry a passenger in the front seat! This is the second consecutive Toyota that I've had problems with. A 2002 Aval”

“The mileage on the van is approaching 100,000 miles. It has been pretty solid until the last year when squeaks and rattles have become increasingly more annoying. Sometimes I can track them down and click something back into place or tweak tings to get them to stop for awhile, but more and more it is just sounding like it is old and tired.

“The bluetooth has occasional problems recognizing devices I have paired with it. To get around the problem, I have had to remove the device, then re-pair it”

I researched online and this electronic failure shows up across a wide range of models and years. Very disappointed the Toyota doesn't cover this defect”
