Transmission began making whirring noises at 57K. Had it checked by 3 places including the dealer. They couldn't always replicate the noise. Transmission failed at 60K on my 2019. It began having issues 5 months past my warranty coverage. Toyota would not stand behind their car or even offer a discount. All maintenance was done. Never towed anything. Car was purchased at 1 year old but it was a manager's car.

I’ve had this SUV for 1 1/2 years. I love it! Is is fun and easy to drive. It is comfortable and has adequate space for 4 passengers. We sometimes haul 5, but the backseat gets tight for that. Mine is getting approximately 29 mpg on midgrade fuel. Love the pushbutton start, lane keep assist, blind spot monitor, controls on steering wheel, rear hatch open and shut buttons, hands free talk, and huge display screen. Toyota could do better with the door handle touch to lock and unlock. Mine don’t work as well as expected. It also has a very annoying ding to warn when the roads may be icy that we apparently cannot turn off. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 on performance due to acceleration rate. It makes big noise like it’s going somewhere, but doesn’t really accelerate exceptionally well. It also shifts oddly sometimes. I notice it mostly when you slow down, but don’t stop ( think yield sign). It will jerk pretty hard when you accelerate from low speed. Overall it is a great little SUV with many bells and whistles for it’s price point. It feels very safe and reliable.

Garbage. Transmission failed at 89,000. Hard to even find a shop to work on it. Dealership wants almost half of car price to replace the transmission.
