Coolant overflow tank completely empty. Filling ASAP, and I do not anticipate problem. The temp gauge is normal, and no notices that coolant is low.

The wires ripped out of the right rear speed sensor, causing various dire warnings to be shown on the center display. The dealer replaced the sensor, cleared codes, and test drove. Vehicle had 2701 miles on it and has only been driven on paved roads.

The day before, on Sep 25, 5 minutes after leaving work I was waiting at a red light. The idling became rough and the engine stopped working and a message "charging system failure" popped up. I put the emergency flashers on as the cars around me started moving as the intersection light became green. I turned off the key, put the car in parking and started it no problem. I drove rest of the day no problem, and made an appointment with Toyota for the next day. They tested everything at Toyota and said they didn't know what it was as the battery & the charging system worked fine and voltages were within range. The only error message they got was "rough idling". They said to watch the car as there was nothing else they could do. They said that it could be the gasoline that caused this????, which I'm not sure what to think of. I think it's possible that the "charging system failure" message popped up because the engine stopped.

4 times now the 'part-time' AWD has failed, thrown a code, and disabled cruse control and other features. The dealership claims there is nothing wrong... the funky computer controlled 'haldex' style clutch differential only works under 20 mph. AND, every time it has snowed... something has gone wrong with it, leaving us with fwd only... it's very frustrating.
