UNDER ALMOST ALL ROAD CONDITIONS MY NEW 2011 TOYOTA VENZA HAS A VERY BOUNCY RIDE AND TENDS TO BE MOST ANNOYING AT LOWER SPEEDS. I HAVE HAD THE CAR 3 MONTHS AS OF THIS REPORT AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. THE TOYOTA DEALER CLAIMS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, BUT IT IS NOT A NORMAL SITUATION AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I CONTACTED TOYOTA'S CORPORATE OFFICE IN DECEMBER 2011 AND REGISTERED MY COMPLAINT. *TR

NO INCIDENT, JUST A SAFETY QUESTION. I PURCHASED THIS 2012 VENZA A FEW DAYS AGO AND WAS SURPRISED TO FIND THAT THE FRONTAL PASSENGER CRASH TEST WAS 2 STARS (OUT OF 5). FOR 2013 IT WAS 4 STARS FOR THE SAME TEST. I AM TRYING TO DETERMINE WHETHER THIS CAR (VIN NUMBER) WAS MADE BEFORE OR AFTER TOYOTA MADE SAFETY MODIFICATIONS THAT LED TO THE 4 STAR FRONTAL PASSENGER RATING. TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS NOT HELPFUL AND SUGGESTED CONTACTING NHTSA. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE FOR ME AS I CARRY MY GRANDCHILDREN IN THIS CAR AND IF THERE IS A SAFETY CONCERN IT WILL HAVE TO BE RETURNED. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP. PS - I SENT THIS NOTE YESTERDAY BUT INCLUDED THE WRONG VIN. THE VIN ENTERED ABOVE IS NOW CORRECT. *TR
