Vehicle has a "dead zone" in acceleration in the 20-30 mph range, especially on uphill. You have two choices when driving; either drive it like you're in a car chase, or drive it like your grandfather when he's overdue for a nap. Which means you're either an idiot or a maniac. Passenger side power door continues to be unreliable when parked on a downward slope. Dealer continues to say it's dirt in the tracks.

Navigation grossly inaccurate; audio intermittently cuts out and will not shut off without turning off the engine. Bluetooth works most of the time but sometimes our phones will not connect.

Haven't decided what to do yet. EDIT - I had the rear lines capped and now just have A/C in the front. Interestingly, I noticed in my repair records that the dealer already replaced one of the rear A/C lines when the vehicle was just 3 years old, meaning Toyota's A/C lines are only lasting about 3 years before wearing out.

Power doors under recall by Toyota with no fix reported available. They don't work reliably anyway. Guess these vans were designed to last for people who lease.

Toyota sent me a check for ~$450 to cover some of the costs I incurred attempting to repair the faulty sliding doors and hinges. I sent them a letter with ~$2,000 in parts receipts and an explanation that I performed DIY repairs since the vehicle was out of warranty. They keep sending me letters asking for repair shop receipts. I'm tempted to either DIY some receipts or have my neighbors who own a shop make me some...

There is a noise coming from the steering system. Shop located the noise, and checked on the part. The dealers stock the part, and shop suggested this must be because it is a common issue. Did not repair at this time.

Rear sliding door (motors or controls) were recalled for safety. Now they do not work as designed. The interior buttons will open and close the doors, but lifting the interior or exterior handles will not always open or close door. Rear sliding door was not working properly, dealer found a loose connection. Problem occurred after recall repair was completed on the same doors.
