You were exactly correct. That's what it was. They said Toyota Corp. actually had a bulletin sent to Toyota service departments about it. Sad part is it took 3 trips to a service department before they figured it out!

Low Back Pain? by fatdan

Some other customer reviews complain the driver's seat is uncomfortable and especially bad if you suffer low back pain. How have other drivers found the front seat?

Has anyone figured out how they reprogram the automatic door open/lock to open all doors with one click instead of two?

The inability to see the clock is a poor design function. The lighting should be orange or blue on a black background.

Tire pressure light by kurt451

Even though it mentions it in the manual, I missed it. My tire pressure light came on yet my tire pressure was fine. The spare tire has a sensor in it and causes the light to come on when its pressure is low.

I would be a tad more careful about making general statements regarding engine size vs FE at this point in time.
 
Many manufacturers are currently transitioning their V6 engines to DFI, Direct Fuel Injection. DFI allows compression ratios of ~12:1 and therefore significantly improved FE over previous V6 engines.
 
So, until this is done with I4 engines there might very well be a period of time wherein smallish V6 engines will yeild better FE numbers than the larger displacement I4 engines.
 
There is also the matter of CVT's and more gearbox ratios currently being used with V6 engine vs I4's that tilt the FE numbers toward V6's.
 
Seems desparate to me but it is true that the clear majority of the automotive buyers want, above all, hp/torque,HP/TORQUE.
 
V8, V6, I4, in that order, so the manufacturers, in order to keep their fleet average FE down, concentrate on the bigger engines, higher volume sales, first, insofar as improving FE is concerned.

Hi Curious 07, I haven't encountered this problem since my trip to the dealer. However, I feel the radio need to be properly secured because I know I may hit a pot hole or something and the radio will act up again. The next time this happen I will drive the vehicle directly to the dealer and have them see what I am talking about because they checked it the last time and couldn't find a problem with the radio. It could be from the heat (I'm in NY) and it was a scorcher on those days that it acted up. I'm not going back to the dealer until it acts up. Let me know of your progress with yours maybe your Service Technicians knows more than mines.
