You have delivered one very scary story-sounds like the late 70's instead of today
I'm seriously thinking of selling mine while I can get SOME money for it before they become worthless
The Toyota Venza is nice but not as big although more luxurious
Mine (touch wood) has been relatively problem free & runs good and the gas mileage has increased to over 22mpg from 20
I do like the vehicle just worries me that it is going to start falling apart
Good Luck
