Shift from 1st to 2nd gear floats; shift from 2nd to 3rd gear is a hard double jerk. Just maintaining speed at 1200-1400 rpm and just over 40 mph, engine/transmission pulsates as though transmission can't figure out what to do. Toyota won't fix transmission; they say hard shift is a characteristic, not a fault. Can't hear stereo at highway speeds due to road noise. Seats uncomfortable after 30 minutes, no thigh support. Can't see out the rear window. Lower part of rear fenders loose and will move 1/4 inch. $30,000 piece of junk. Trade-in value of 7 month old car is only 60% of new car price.
