Hood vibrates, and on sunlight or cloudy days the light flickers in your vision. This is a safety concern that Toyota says is a normal characteristic of the vehicle. NOT.

I wanted to open the hood using the hood support rod. Holding the hood with left hand using right hand grabbed the support rod. It burned my fingers immediately.Looking at the designed it is placed in the center of the hood underside right above engine compartment.It took one week and 3 phone calls to Toyota product liability area. I told him I learn my lesson the hard way that I will never grab it again without a glove. It is that hot I asked him why would they design a bar above the engine compartment which will except all the heat from the engine, I looked in the owners manual and I read it to the Toyota person I contacted and this is what it says and I quote the support rod may be hot after driving the vehicle. Touching the hot support rod may lead to burns or other serious injuries so I told the representative at Toyota they put this in the book knowing that people are going to get burned or drop the hood when their hand gets burned and it-??s gonna fall on their head or it-??s going to hit their hand. Why would they design something so poorly like this he thanked me for letting him know about it I asked him what will someone be back in touch with me to validate my concern and that they-??re looking into it and he said absolutely not he said if there-??s any recall, I-??ll get notified by mail. Thank you very much is all I got from them
