Poor ABS sensor failure

Currently have 100K on the vehicle. Break downs include the rear ABS sensors which include having to replace the WHOLE WHEEL HUB. Why did Toyota design it that way? Was it to allow the dealers to charge $1700 for wheel sensors? That's ridiculous!!! They turned a $200 job into $1700. The reason the sensors failed is because the sensor wires were not protected from the salt here in MN. For that reason I gave it a average reliability rating. Other than that have had no problems.

Hands Down Best Car I've Owned

Bought this car new in 2009, have driven it from coast to coast, on highways, back roads, miles and miles of rough gravel, across creeks, and basically put the thing through more than it was ever built for. Packed it full of my stuff and moved from Indiana to Wisconsin, then back again. Still make that road trip about once a month with it. This car has well over 200,000 miles later it's still running like new.

Very Reliable Car!

I've never had major problems. It's a very reliable car. I recently got into a car accident and completely saved my life! It's a great car if you're looking for something not to fancy but very reliable!

Very Reliable car

This is the most reliable car I have ever owned. The only thing I had to do is just replace the original battery other than that all is very well.
