Since I bought this vehicle from A from a used dealer as is, the passenger restraint indicator on the dashboard comes on and off, the tire pressure warning indicator, even after proper inflation will not turn off and the passenger head restraint popped out forward almost a year ago.

While the vehicle was in motion, the buckled seat belt on the passenger side third row seating locked in place as my autistic grandson wrapped it around his neck. I looked in the rear view mirror, pulled to the side of the road which luckily happened to be a toyota dealership. The employees in the shop could not unbuckle the belt and as my grandson was already turning blue they had to cut the belt free from him. He was left with bruising around the neck but had I not seen him in time I feel he would have been strangled to death. These long belts from the upper part of the vehicle are a hazard for children.*dt*jb*dt

Airbag dash signal intermittently illuminates. It seems to be related to a sensor in the driver seatbelt. Was given an estimate of $375. It chimes when I turn the wheel. I'm not confident that the airbag will safely deploy if in an accident

The transmission cooling lines are leaking. While traveling daily to work on many occasions, my lights in the dash, my radio and all power up front would go off while driving and just recently while parked. Oil filter housing assembly is leaking. Had to replace the full oil filter housing assembly and int manifold set. Twice, as the vehicle has been in motion, the engine has stopped and the ability to steer is gone. The radio has stayed on. Both instances have happened at 25mph or less, thankfully!

The driver's seat belt spontaneously unbuckles while driving. Even after latching it securely, hearing a 'click' and noting the absence of the driver seat belt warning, it has come unbuckled spontaneously which triggers the seat belt warning. This has happened dozens of times and we are having to replace the seat belt as a result. Note: although this vehicle is a 2014 model year, it had less than 17,000 miles on it when we purchased it and immediately noticed this problem. That was in october of 2017.

A couple months ago, the SRS light started coming on intermittently. The light comes on randomly, while driving, while parked, while making left-turns, while braking, while accelerating, etc... Because no accident had occurred, I assumed it was faulty connectors that may have gotten wet, so I brought it into an auto shop. They pulled the historical codes, since the light wasnt on at the time, and it says it is a driver side belt tensioner issue. I have 68,000 miles on our van so I had hoped the dealer I bought it from would have some good news (maybe it is covered under warranty) - its not. Reading online, it seems this may be a common issue with some town and country mini vans, so I figured I should report as well.
