What owners report

Seat Belts

Drivers side seat belt jammed and will not pull out and work properly. can not use seat belt.

Suspension

I felt an unnatural vibration and roll to one side of the vehicle when slowing around a curve on the highway which affected my ability to control the vehicle as expected, so i took it to a mechanic specializing in toyota. the xreas suspension system has already failed at 36,000 miles and toyota is refusing to assist since this is out of warranty. however, this is a known issue that you can see many many people are

Steering

Steering shake at 55mph, seems to go away after tires have warmed up. tried road force balance with no help.

Back Over Prevention

I am not sure this qualifies but i will submit the problem. all of a sudden, the center console display disappeared. besides showing the radio tuner, it provides access to the gps, cell phone connection and other devices. it also provides access to the backup camera which does light up when put in reverse. the cell phone connection provides hands free use of the phone which comes in handy during an emergency.
