"This is the worst car I have ever owned"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Brakes lock up when used in slippery weather and the car stalls.

The car makes a funny noise at intermittent times. The technicians have heard it, but after fives visits cannot make it stop.

Lights in dash and headlights don't turn on properly.

General comments?

The dealership has had this vehicle in the shop 9 times and still doesn't seem to take these issues seriously.

I bought this car because of the wonderful reputation that Toyota has had for service and quality. I have been very dissapointed in both.

Any manual car, in slippery weather, if you don't use your clutch and just floor the brake, it will stall.

I'm no fan of Toyota, but even I can't find a whole lot that is wrong with this car. I have to agree with the other poster: if you jam on your brakes on slippery conditions, they will lock up. Even if you have anti-lock brakes, they may momentarily lock up before the computer senses that the wheel is sliding, and needs to start pulsing the brake pads. A car is just a piece of machinery. It can't be expected to think for you.

Locked wheels in bad whether happens in any vehicle, it's your job to control that and use the clutch. Or get a car with one of the best features in the world...Anti-lock brakes!!!

The comments after the original reviewer with the braking affected by not fully depressing the clutch upon stopping would occur whether dry or wet if the individual did not properly depress the clutch. I'm sure the individual understands clutch movement whether wet or dry its not isolated to rain. They would be stalling out at every light wet or dry. Some of these added comments gets tiresome.
