 So an update. I owned this car 18 months and put 34,000 miles on it. I had to cut my losses and trade it due to constant repairs. general complaints, loud, man is this car loud, tire noise was no joke at highway speeds. CHEAP, the interior of this car is so cheap, the power window actually causes the door to bulge out when it reached its stops. I learned later that the dealer had painted all the leather to cover the wear damage, and it all started rubbing off revealing how poorly the material aged. Truthfully, the leather cost me $1000 in trade value because it was so bad after the paint and patching wore off. very disappointing since my last car was 20, and the leather was perfect. The drivers visor fell apart, It had to be removed. The passenger window would randomly refuse to go up, a sensor would malfunction and "see" something in the windows path, and automatically lower it. The VVT engine intake and exhaust valve control system set off the engine light three times, seems they get a little dirt in them, and trigger a fault the dealer will usually recommend replacing them, which is incredibly expensive, because you can't get to them. the steering pulls left or right all the time, I was always fighting lane position, I didn't realize it until I got my new car, probably the huge tires, and high torque engine. I purchased it with 90,000 miles for $13,000, during my 34,000 miles.......I had to replace all the rotors and pads, because the rotors began shaking so bad, it wasn't warp, it was overheating creating hard spots. heavy 20 inch tires are simply too much for the size rotors, (I recommend drilled/slotted/vented replacements), did the work myself for $385 in parts. ($1400 at dealer)At 97000 miles the alternator died, I fixed it myself, it would have cost $900 due to the amount of labor  (I spent $235 on a good alternator, and 8 hours of labor, didn't know I had to disassemble the front of the car when I started)  FYI,  almost all engine compartment repairs involve disassembly of other components to get to what you are working on) around 100,000 miles the front passenger bearing hub failed, and a tie rod was bad too. $780 to fix. and the tie rod they put in was slightly off in size, so I could never get the car aligned correctly. Due to the miles I put on weekly, this caused badly worn tires on the front so we rotated them, but now they were even louder than before. FYI, get off your wallet and have BOTH tie rods done even if only one is bad. at 110,000 miles a strut blew, and dumped oil all over the brand new brakes,  so it started shaking again. the repair for the struts found another wheel bearing bad, rear drivers side, so all together,  $1300. FYI! you can buy BETTER, entire strut assemblies, spring, mounts everything, for less than a shop will charge you for just the strut cartridge, buy your own parts and find a shop that will install them. LASTLY, the Venza has a known issue with the electric power steering, it starts as a clicking noise on bumps, but eventually turns into a constant clicking , in my case, loud enough I could hear it even with the radio on. That is a 7 hour repair requiring the removal of most of the dash on the drivers side, and costs over $3000, $1100 just for the part. I owned this car for 18 months and put 34,000 miles on it. It was a $40,000 car when new. The total repairs at a shop would have been around $5000 if I had not done some of it myself, PLUS the $3000 plus steering repair that needed done. Add to that, oil changes, and new tires, and in 18 months, this car would cost close to $9400 (tires were $870) NOW, I liked the car overall, comfortable, roomy, lots of cargo space, good looking, but what a cheap lemon.
