Couldn't agree with the highlighted statement more. Sounds like you're wife got some pretty dud Aurions, did she consider buying from someone trust worthy? She may also need to lay off the accelerator a bit, maybe get some new tyres. My dad has had an 07 Presara since brand new with not a single issue to date, it's the whole reason I am looking to get one of my own (most likely a ZR6) when circumstances permit. Toyota's are generally very good, reliable, solid cars. It's very unusual for you to have such a bad experience, especially two cars in a row.
