Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: This vehicle behaves in a very "lemon" like way. numerous electrical failures since i have owned the vehicle. main problem is vehicle jumping in and out of overdrive at highway cruising speeds. (a constant problem.) toyota seems to not want to acknowledge the problem, although i know of at least one other owner locally who has experienced the same problem. at one time, a wiring harness was blamed and a fix was made that cured the problem for a couple of years. vehicle constantly leaks oil, even though the local toyota dealership "fixed" these problems as part of a recall in late 1997. (problem never stayed fixed.) electrical shorts in wiring also caused several instances of battery loss of power so badly that battery had to be replaced numerous times. transmission has always behaved poorly, engine always leaks oil, and electrical problems are abundant. *ak
