At 19,700 miles rear wheels had alignment issues. Both rear wheels needed shims to correct the alignment. After a lot of efforts by myself the Toyota company agreed to pay for the parts (shims) and labor. I paid for alignment. No other problem so far.

Driver side front wheel bearing was worn and making grinding noise and vibration. Had the bearing replaced. Problem surfaced over the span of more than 1000 miles before it was bad enough to justify a trip to the mechanic. 
35000 mi An ongoing problem. They replaced all parts in the rear suspension that they possibly could. Lemon Law Complaint started. Toyota settled out of court for $2,000... This after spending Mucho $$$ to try to fix it. We are still driving the car. 
33000 mi The car is now history. It was traded in and is now someone else's problem. We received our check from Toyota and kissed it good bye. Never figured out what the cause of the problem was.
