2011 Toyota Venza Wagon 4dr Wagon AWD (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
lots and lots of problems
 We purchased our 2011 Venza new and have had it now for six and a half years and 68K milesWe  had continual problems with the alarm going off for no reason.  That was finally resolved after 6-7 repair visits--one overnight.On and off the steering makes a whining or creaking sound.Recently the sun visor on the driver's side broke--it wouldn't stay up or down, just mid-way where it obstructed the front view.  Recently, the visor on the passenger's side broke--it wouldn't stay up or down, just hang midway blocking view.The CD player no longer works.  A CD is stuck in the unit.  Toyota said they have to replace the whole audio system!The paint on the front bumper is coming off. The clear plastic covers on the headlights have fogged overThe mileage is not quite what Toyota claimed--we get about 21-23 on the highway.For a vehicle that had a sticker price of $40k, it's definitely a disappointment.  The ride is average.They don't make Venza anymore and I think that may have affected the resale value.  Judging by various resale valuations, it has lost significant value.  Fortunately I recently traded in this car in for a new Mazda.  I received $12, 500 trade in or about a third of the original purchase price despite the car being in excellent condition, always serviced, no accidents, non-smoker, etc.  This car ranks among the worst I've ever owned in 50 years.  Glad it's over.The seam on the driver's leather seat has openedThe clips on the engine air filter are brokenThe glove compartment is misaligned
