I was on a highway exit ramp (exit 5 off Northbound I-395) when my airbags deployed (driver and both sides). My car veered off the asphalt and then quickly I got control and continued out of traffic on a residential side road just off Route 7 westbound. My car then abruptly stoped. I managed to restart it a couple of times and run it just enough to get it off the road . I have attached photos. There does not appear to be any resulting damage to the body of the car. There were no outstanding recalls on the vehicle. I have reported the incident to my insurance (Geico).

On 11/10/2014 , we had our recall regarding our 2010 Corolla airbags corrected at our dealership with the replacement of the sub-assembly spiral cable. Our mileage at the time was 27382 miles. Just recently at 58,000 miles we have to pay $775 to replace that same spiral cable. This seems somewhat financially onerous since this is obviously not a wear and tear item , but one crucial to the vehicle's innate safety and one that does not appear to hold up well. I do not believe vehicle owners should be required to subsidize Toyota's defective equipment.

STEERING WHEEL LOCKED WHEN I AM BACKING UP MY CAR TO DO REVERSE PARKING. IT HAPPENED ONLY ONCE. IT STARED WORKING WHEN I TRIED TO MOVE FORWARD AND CAME BACK TO NORMAL. I SHOWED IT TO TOYOTA AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH STEERING.

MY CAR'S STEERING WHEEL FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS HAS BEEN SO STIFF AND HARD TO MANEUVER. I WENT TO WORK FINE BUT AS I WAS ABOUT TO LEAVE WORK, I TURNED THE CAR ON, SEEMS LIKE THE START WAS WEAK, AS I BACKED UP 2 FEET, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SO HARD TO MANEUVER. I WENT TO PARK MY CAR BACK TO WHERE IT WAS FROM, TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, THEN ALL I HEAR WAS A CLICKING SOUND, ENGINE WON'T START. COWORKERS JUMPED THE CAR, IT STARTED, TOOK IT TO ADVANCE FOR DIAGNOSIS, THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG ON THE ALTERNATOR OR BATTERY (BOTH LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD). THE CAR RAN LIKE NOTHING WAS WRONG. WENT TO WORK DRIVING THE CAR THE FOLLOWING DAY. IT WAS FINE, UNTIL I HAVE TO LEAVE WORK AGAIN. THE SAME THING HAPPENED!!! CAR'S ON PARK, STARTED THE CAR, BACKED UP, TURNED THE WHEELS, IT WAS STIFF AND IT SEEMED TO HAVE LOCKED, COWORKERS JUMP STARTED IT, DROVE HOME BUT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS ACTING WEIRD. I MADE IT HOME. HUSBAND DROVE THE CAR A BLOCKS FROM THE HOUSE TO SEE IT FOR HIMSELF THEN WHILE DRIVING BACK HE MENTIONED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED GET SOOOOO HARD AND STIFF. IT WAS NOT SAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE THE CAR. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED.

DIFFICULTY TURNING STEERING WHEEL. I WAS PULLING OUT OF A STORE PARKING LOT & ONTO A MAIN STREET AND AS I WAS DRIVING AND BEGINNING TO TURN RIGHT THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY STIFF AND DIFFICULT TO TURN. I BECAME ANXIOUS BECAUSE I WAS HALFWAY ON THE MAIN STREET SO I USED BOTH HANDS TO TURN MY VEHICLE ONTO THE STREET AND LOOKED FOR THE NEAREST SIDE STREET TO GET OUT OF HARMS WAY. ONCE I GOT ONTO A SIDE STREET MANY IF NOT ALL LIGHTS ON MY CENTER CONSOLE ILLUMINATED (BRAKE LIGHT, BATTERY, ABS, VCS, ENGINE LIGHT ETC.). I HAVE ABOUT 140000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE.

There have been multiple times where the car accelerates on it's own, suddenly. The latest was last evening. It usually happens when I'm just going to accelerate slighting (at a stop sign, or end of the driveway) where I give it just a little gas, and the car accelerates much more quickly than intended. I've looked for a recall, but cannot find one for this. Please advise.

I HAVE MADE COMPLAINTS DO THE DEALERSHIP DURING MULTIPLE 5000 MILE CHECK UPS ON MY BRAKE GRINDING. WHEN STOPPING ON UNEVEN SURFACES OR WET SURFACE MY BRAKES WILL PERIODICALLY MAKE A GRINDING NOISE WHICH I CAN FEEL A VIBRATION UP THROUGH THE PEDAL THAT SHAKES MY LEG. PASSENGERS CAN FEEL AND HEAR THESE INCIDENCE AS WELL. HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT DUPLICATE THIS PROBLEM WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BEING SERVICED AND THEREFORE THEY SEE NO PROBLEM. ON TODAY'S VISIT I HAVE REQUESTED A BRAKE SYSTEM CHECK WHICH I WAS INFORMED THAT THE ONLY THING THEY COULD FIND WAS THE ABS WHEN PRESSING BRAKES HARD. HOWEVER THIS INCIDENT HAPPENS TO ME WHEN I AM COMING TO A SLOW STOP NOT WHEN DRASTICALLY PRESSING THE BRAKES. I WAS NOT SATISFIED WITH THIS AND THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY COULD SAY BUT THIS IS WHAT IT IS AND THERE'S NOTHING THEY DO ABOUT IT. *TR

SINCE ABOUT A MONTH AFTER PURCHASING MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA IN APRIL OF 2010 I HAVE HAD SEVERAL EXPERIENCES WITH THE BRAKES WHEN STOPPING ON MULTIPLE SURFACE TYPES, INCLUDING WET ROAD, UNEVEN SURFACE AND UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. THE BRAKES MAKE A GRINDING SOUND AND SEEM TO SKIP AS I PUSH DOWN, SLOWING MY BRAKING TIME AND MAKING ME FEEL LIKE I'M GOING TO NOT BE ABLE TO STOP. THE GRINDING WAS SO SEVERE THAT IT VIBRATED THOUGH MY LEG. MY VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY HOWEVER I DID TAKE IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHILE IT WAS COVERED AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT IN ORDER TO REPAIR IT THEY WOULD NEED TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. OF COURSE THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN, DID A BRAKE INSPECTION AND SAID IT WAS ALL JUST FINE. SHORTLY AFTER THIS VISIT, THE BRAKES DID THE SAME GRINDING WHEN STOPPING AS HAD HAPPENED BEFORE. I AM A CONSCIENTIOUS DRIVER AND TREAT MY VEHICLE GENTLY AND THERE IS NO REASON THIS SHOULD BE HAPPENING TO A BRAND NEW CAR. WE NEED MORE ATTENTION PLACED ON THIS PROBLEM AND A RECALL MUST BE ISSUED BEFORE THERE ARE MULTIPLE CASUALTIES. ALSO WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS HOW THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 2010 COROLLA FOR A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES BUT THEY EXCLUDED CERTAIN STATES THAT ARE IN PROXIMITY TO STATES WHERE VEHICLES WERE RECALLED. HOW CAN THEY BE SURE OTHER VEHICLES WEREN'T AFFECTED? *TR
Jan 11, 2012
PURCHASED THE CAR JAN. 2011, WITHIN THE FIRST 2 WEEKS, I HAD THE FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH VIBRATION IN THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN APPLYING ON UNEVEN SURFACE. IN ADDITION TO THE VIBRATION THERE IS A HESITATION IN BRAKING. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES, MOSTLY ON UNEVEN SURFACES. LAST WEEK I HAD TO STOP SUDDENLY FOR A DEER AND I REALLY NOTICED HOW LONG IT TOOK TO STOP THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE NOISE (ALMOST LIKING GRINDING) WAS VERY LOUD AND THE PEDAL VIBRATED. I HAVE ALREADY TAKEN THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ASSURED ME THE BRAKES WERE FINE. I HAVE JUST MADE MY SECOND APPOINTMENT. HOW DO I ENSURE THEY FIX THIS TO PROPER SAFETY STANDARDS? *TR

Sep 18, 2025
several weeks After I took my vehicle into the local dealership for the PWMS assembly window panel control switch problem, I realized my door panel and the switch area was loose. I mentioned this after a couple weeks when I really noticed the Window Master Switch mechanism was dropping downward under the panel cover. The dealership did not take me seriously, so it continued to get worse. I should have taken the car back and insisted they fix it. As of today, I cannot use my Key for power entry, i must manually use the key in the door. The power on the windows still works, but the whole master switch assembly is precariously hanging there in the door and the panel that went on top was damaged when they replaced it so now its broken off in pieces and cannot even be used. I am SO unhappy with this dealership, for the many times I have taken my car in for service. I do not want to go back to them at all after the horribly shoddy job they did with the Master Switch and their lack of concern when I told them they put my door back together poorly. Is the work guaranteed, particularly when it's been this long since I took my car in for this recall fix? I take care of my car which at its age only has 38,000 miles on it. I do not want to take it to the same dealership and unfortunately there's not another one close by. Can you help me by demanding a dealership fix my problem before I actually have a fire due to the unprofessional manner in which the dealership handled my recall fix? I wish I had ignored the recall because my car was better off before I took it in.

my car had issues completely shutting down on me while I was driving which was very dangerous my abs light and steering light would come on each time it shuts down and I wasn’t able to use my power locks lights I couldn’t move it out of park or nothing those were the only two lights the was still able to start up just couldn’t move or use any buttons my keypad wasn’t working so that indicated that it was an electrical issue so I thought it was my battery even though the light wasn’t on for the battery I had my battery tested and the code came back and said I needed an alternator so I had my alternator tested and it works perfectly fine so then I checked the fuse box and it was burned up so that was my whole issue

TAKATA RECALL FOR ALMOST EIGHT MONTHS MY CAR HORN HAS NOT BEEN WORKING. I CANNOT INSPECT IT WITHOUT THE CAR HORN WORKING! NO ONE WILL TOUCH IT! IT'S LIKE MY CAR HAS A DISEASE AND NO ONE WANTS TO BE CORRUPTED OR SOMETHING. I SAW ON A TV PROGRAM CALLED FRAUD SQUAD ABOUT HOW WHEN A AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED SOME COMPONENTS IN AND AROUND THE AIRBAG ARE AFFECTED TO THE POINT OF FAILURE. I'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR TWO YEARS AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING, THE INSPECTION/REGISTRATION STICKER CANNOT BE HAD! I FEEL VERY MUCH LET DOWN BY THE DEALERSHIP I ACQUIRED THIS CAR FROM. I GOT IT FROM FORT BEND TOYOTA IN ROSENBERG. IT'S GONNA TAKE ME MANY YEARS TO PAY THIS CAR PAID OFF AND ALREADY I MAY HAVE TO JURY RIG IT AND VOID EVERY WARRANTY EVER. MY WARRANTY WENT OUT, THEY ASKED ME TO RE-UP IT, I DIDN'T, AND BOOM, I'M SCREWED! WHERE CAN I GO TO GET HELP WITH THIS? I AM LUCKY I HAVE NOT BEEN TICKETED YET. UPDATED 01/25/2017*CT

SERVICE BRAKES

BRAKES ARE VERY SPUNGY AND DO NOT SEEM TO INGAGE. BRAKES WILL FILL LIKE THEY ARE STARTING TO WORK AND THEN RELEASE AND YOU MUST PUSH BRAKES DOWN FURTHER BEFORE THEY WILL START BRAKING. VERY SLOW BRAKING RESPONSE TIME. HAD THE BRAKES BLEED TWICE AND DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM SO THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER AND THE CAR BRAKING DID NOT CHANGE AT ALL. MAKES ME VERY NERVOUS TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE DUE TO SLOW BRAKING RESPONSE.

I DELIVER FOR DOORDASH AND I WAS MAKING MY THIRD DELIVERY OF THE MORNING. AS I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT TO PARK MY CAR I TRIED TO OUT MY CAR INTO PARK LIKE I HAD BEEN ALL MORNING EXCEPT THIS TIME I COULDN'T PUT MY CAR INTO PARK. AFTER I FINISHED THE DELIVERY I WENT BACK OUT TO MY CAR TO GET BACK ON THE ROAD AND I COULDN'T TAKE MY CAR OUT OF PARK. IT FELT LIKE SOMETHING WAS JAMMED AND THE GEAR STUCK WOULD BARELY BUDGE. MY FIRST INSTINCT WAS TO LOOK ONLINE TO SEE IF THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER CARS LIKE MINE AND MANY ARTICLES POPPED UP OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING HAPPENING TO THEIR CAR. MY CAR HAS ZERO PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION, GEAR BOX OR ANYTHING IN THE PAST AND IT'S NEVER MADE ANY ODD NOISES EITHER. I BELIEVE THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR AND NOT SOMETHING THAT I CAUSED.

1. 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S WAS PURCHASED FROM A TOYOTA DEALER WITH 8 MILES. RIGHT AFTER GOING OFF THE LOT, AND ONTO THE FREEWAY, CAR WAS UNSTABLE. EVEN IF YOU HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL STRAIGHT, THE CAR WANTS TO JUMP LEFT AND RIGHT RANDOMLY. BASICALLY IT IS UNSTABLE. 2. CAR IS UNSTABLE AND REQUIRES MORE THAN NORMAL CONCENTRATION AND MORE EFFORT TO DRIVE STRAIGHT, AS CAR DOES NOT TRACK STRAIGHT. 3. VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO DEALER WITH APPROXIMATELY 185 MILES. TEST DROVE WITH TECHNICIAN, WHO SAID IT VEERS SLIGHTLY RIGHT. ALIGNMENT WAS DONE. THE FRONT WAS OFF BY A BIT AND CORRECTED. BUT REAR OF CAR WAS OUT OF SPEC WITH REGARDS TO LEFT AND RIGHT TOE. BASICALLY BOTH REAR WHEELS FACING TOWARDS THE LEFT. TOYOTA DEALER SAID THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. I BRING IN A TOYOTA TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN THAT ADDRESSES ON-CENTER STEERING FEEL. THE DOCUMENT REQUIRES ALIGNMENT DONE, THEN POWER-STEERING ECU REPLACED. MY ECU IS THEN REPLACED AT THE DEALERSHIP, BUT ALIGNMENT IN REAR IS NOT ADJUSTED, SINCE THE DEALER SAID IT IS NOT ADJUSTABLE. THEY GIVE ME BACK THE CAR WITH THE NEW ECU EVEN IF REAR TOE IS OFF ALONG WITH TOTAL REAR CAMBER. THEY ALSO SAY THAT TOTAL REAR TOE IS CORRECT AT .38 DEG, BUT EVEN IF LEFT AND RIGHT REAR TOE IS OFF, AS LONG AS TOTAL REAR TOE IS GOOD, CAR IS WITHIN TOYOTA SPECIFICATIONS AND TOLERANCES. I DO NOT AGREE WITH THE STATEMENT. IF LEFT AND RIGHT TOES ARE OFF, THEN CAR IS NOT ALIGNED. RIGHT REAR TOE IS OUT OF SPEC BY .15 DEGREES WHILE LEFT REAR TOE IS OFF BY -.09 DEGREES. I TAKE THE CAR AND DRIVE IT FOR 1 DAY AND A HALF, AND THE CAR VEERS RIGHT ON THE FREEWAY. IF IT HITS A BUMP ON A TURN, IT USUALLY MAKES THE CAR WANT TO JUMP RIGHT. BASICALLY PROVING THAT THE REAR TOE IS OUT OF SPECIFICATIONS. *TR

I'M ALSO MAKING A FOLLOWUP TO MY ORIGINAL COMPLAINT #10302584. THESE COROLLA'S HAVE A SERIOUS BUILT IN PROBLEM! YOU (ODI) STARTED AN INVESTIGATION IN FEB. STATING 168 COMPLAINTS ON THE STEERING IN 09 AND 10 COROLLAS, THERE ARE NOW ALMOST 500!!! 95% OF THEM SAY THE SAME THING! CAR WANDERS, FEELS LIKE IT'S WINDY WHEN IT'S NOT, CAR STEERS ON ITS OWN, WANDERS BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT, FEELS LIKE IT',HYDROPLANING, CONSTANT CORRECTION NEEDED, FEELS LIKE I DON'T HAVE CONTROL, AND ON AND ON AND ON. WHY DON'T YOU HAVE TOYOTA SEND A QUESTIONNAIRE OUT TO COROLLA OWNERS AND ASK THEM HOW THEIR CAR DRIVES ON THE HIGHWAY? I SAW A FRIEND DRIVING ONE ALMOST IDENTICAL TO MINE TODAY AND ASKED HIM HOW HIS HANDLED ON THE ROAD AND HE DESCRIBED THE SAME FEELING. I SUGGESTED HE TELL THE DEALER AND ALSO FILE A REPORT ON THIS SITE. THE DEALER SAYS TOYOTA IS INVESTIGATING BUT NOTHING IS HAPPENING YET. COULDN'T ODI SPEED THIS UP A LITTLE. I TOOK MINE IN AT 400 MILES AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG AND OFFERED ME 14000 TRADE IN AGAINST A USED CAMRY (I PAID 17800) NOW , AT 7000 MILES THEY OFFER 12500 I'M BLEEDING BAD AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. PLEASE HELP ME AND OTHER COROLLA OWNERS. THANKS FOR LISTENING TO MY RANT. *TR

LETTER FROM SENATOR TESTER ON BEHALF OF CONSTITUENT RE TOYOTA (DIRECT RESPONSE TO BILLINGS OFFICE) THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD DRIFT OUT OF THE LANE HE WAS DRIVING IN. THE VEHICLE PULLED TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT AT TIMES. DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER, THE VEHICLE WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER. AT LOW SPEEDS THE VEHICLE STEERED FINE, BUT IT WAS HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHERE THERE WAS A PROBLEM. THE DEALER PATCHED A TIRE AND ROTATED THEM, BUT THE STEERING PROBLEM CONTINUED. ANOTHER DEALER DISCOVERED ONE OF THE TIRES HAD 5 PSI MORE THAN THE OTHER TIRES, THEY ALSO MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO THE REAR END. THE CONSUMER WAS THEN ADVISED TO PUT WEIGHT IN THE TRUNK AND TO GET SNOW TIRES. AFTER THE WORK WAS COMPLETED IT SEEMED A LITTLE BETTER, BUT THE VEHICLE STILL WANDERED INTO THE NEXT LANE. THE CONSUMER WENT BACK TO THE FIRST DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE STEERING ISSUE WAS A DESIGN PROBLEM AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. *JB

The timing chain broke while the vehicle was in motion. Per multiple online sources, many of reported that the VVTi malfunction can cause premature wearing of the timing chain. There were only 140K miles on the vehicle. The vehicle was inspected by two Toyota dealerships. There were no warning signs of this happening. The car stopped running in the middle of an intersection.

THE OWNER HASN'T BEEN INJURED, BUT IT HAS CAUSED THEM PAIN EACH TIME IT HAPPENS. OWNER HAD IT CHECKED AT A TOYOTA DEALER. THEY SAID IT OCCURS BECAUSE AN AFTERMARKET REAR SPOILER WAS INSTALLED BY A PRIOR OWNER. DEALER SAYS THIS AFTERMARKET SPOILER IS TOO HEAVY, CAUSING TRUNK NOT TO STAY OPEN. DEALER OFFERED TO REMOVE SPOILER FOR A FEE. WE'VE SINCE DISCOVERED TOYOTA HAS ISSUED A TSB THAT TELLS DEALERS TO REPLACE ONE OR BOTH TORSION BARS FOR THIS CONDITION. WE'D LIKE TO NHTSA TO REVIEW THIS & SEE IF ENOUGH OTHER COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO CONSIDER A RECALL. *TR

THE PROBLEM IS WITH BRAKING SYSTEM OR BRAKES IN TOYOTA COROLLA 2010 LE. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN DECEMBER 2010. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PUSHED, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT SLOW DOWN OR STOP. IT REQUIRES PUSHING THE BRAKE PEDAL FURTHER DOWN TO SLOW DOWN THE CAR OR BRING IT TO COMPLETE STOP. IT HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS. ABS IS AVAILABLE IN THE CAR AND IS ENGAGED. IT RAN 1100 MILE ONLY. I GOT IT CHECKED WITH THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM AND THAT IS HOW THE BRAKING SYSTEM WAS DESIGNED IN NEW TOYOTA CARS ( REQUIRES PUSHING DOWN THE BRAKE PEDAL FURTHER DOWN AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS). I STILL FEEL THAT THERE IS SOME ISSUE WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM. I CHECKED THE RECALL LIST IN HTTP://WWW.TOYOTA.COM/RECALL/ AND MY VEHICLE VIN IS NOT LISTED. I SEARCHED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA COROLLA 2010 MODEL REPORTED BY MANY CUSTOMERS. THE BRAKING SYSTEM IS "POWER-ASSISTED VENTILATED 10.7-INCH FRONT DISC BRAKES; 9-INCH REAR DRUM BRAKES WITH ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS), ELECTRONIC BRAKE-FORCE DISTRIBUTION (EBD) AND BRAKE ASSIST (BA)" . I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR. *TR

OUR JAPANESE BUILT 2010 COROLLA HAS A DEAD SPOT AT THE TOP OF THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL. AT ALL SPEEDS, WHEN FIRST DEPRESSING THE PEDAL, VERY LITTLE IF ANY BRAKING ACTION OCCURS WITH THE VEHICLE. ONLY AFTER SIGNIFICANT PRESSURE HAS BEEN APPLIED TO THE PEDAL WILL THE VEHICLE SLOW. THIS IS ACTUALLY MORE DANGEROUS DURING LOW SPEED DRIVING. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES FOR THIS. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL ADJUSTMENTS MADE, AND THE BRAKE SYSTEM HAS BEEN FLUSHED WITH NEW FLUID. IT IS STILL AN ISSUE. THEY HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE JAPANESE BUILT CARS. I HAVE TEST DRIVEN 2 CANADIAN BUILT 2010 COROLLAS, AND THE BRAKING FUNCTION IS MUCH BETTER. THE BRAKING COMPONENTS ARE NOT TRANSFERABLE BETWEEN THE 2 CARS. I MAINTAIN THAT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW OF THE JAPANESE BUILT COROLLAS. *TR

2010 TOYOTA COROLLA LE HAS BRAKE PROBLEM ON BUMPY ROADS. THE BRAKE SEEMS TO HAVE HIT SOMETHING WHEN THE CAR BUMPS DUE TO ROAD CONDITIONS, AND AFFECTS THE EFFECTIVENESS OF BRAKING.

WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA (PURCHASED ON 9/10/09) ON MIRAMAR, PKWY IN MIRAMAR, FLORIDA, AT 45 MILES PER HOUR A TRUCK CUT HIM OFF. WHEN HE HIT THE BRAKES TO STOP, THE ABS LOCKING SYSTEM SKIPPED AND NEVER FULLY STOPPED? HAD THE TRUCK NOT SPED UP TO HELP HIM AVOID HITTING HIM, HE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT OR EVEN KILLED. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A SCRATCHING SOUND (ABS) SINCE 2 WEEKS OF PURCHASE (500 MILES). ON THE FIRST TRIP BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 9/25/09, AFTER 5 DAYS AND AN HOUR AND 1/2 DRIVING WITH ONE OF THE MECHANICS, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT THE ANTI LOCKING SYSTEM, THAT IS JUST THE WAY THEY ARE. IT HAS SINCE BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP 5 DIFFERENT TIMES SINCE DATE OF PURCHASE FOR A TOTAL OF 15 DAYS THAT I HAVE COUNTED FOR THE SAME SCRATCHING NOISE AND MULTIPLE OTHER THINGS, SUCH AS THE STEERING, THE TIRES RATTLING AND BALANCING ISSUES. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TODAY (3/11/10) I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT MY HUSBAND SHOULD BRING IN THE CAR TO TRY AND DUPLICATE THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM NOT WORKING. DOES HE HAVE TO DUPLICATE ALMOST GETTING INTO A FATAL ACCIDENT IN ORDER FOR TOYOTA TO FIX THE BRAKING PROBLEM? I THINK NOT. I WAS THEN TOLD THAT THEY CAN GIVE ME A PRIUS AS A LOANER. WOW!!!! I TRADED IN A 2002 BMW X5 FOR THE RELIABLE SAFE COROLLA. WHAT A HUGE MISTAKE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A STREET NAMED HAMNER THIS AFTERNOON ON A WARM DAY IN THE CITY OF NORCO WITH CLEAR SKIES TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH MY 2010 COROLLA DID NOT STOP AT A DISTANCE OF ABOUT 15 FEET WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THAT CAUSED ME TO HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE WHICH FELT LIKE THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM WHERE THE BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE BUT RATHER MADE A PULSATING MOVEMENT AGAINST MY ROTORS CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO KEEP MOVING AND INEVITABLY I COULD NOT STOP MY VEHICLE. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAVE BROUGHT THIS ISSUE UP TO TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENTS AT NUMEROUS DEALERS IN THE PAST YEARS AND I WAS GIVEN NO SOLUTIONS. THE EXPLANATION AFTER SHOWING THE TECHNICIANS WAS THAT IT WAS NORMAL AND SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM. THIS BRAKE ISSUE CAUSED ME TO NOT HAVE BRAKING SYSTEM POWER TO SAFELY COME TO A STOP PRIOR TO THE COLLISION TODAY. I BELIEVE THAT TOYOTA IS LIABLE FOR THE FAILURE IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE DAMAGE CREATED TODAY TO NOT ONLY MY VEHICLE BUT ALSO TO THE VEHICLE TO WHICH THIS ACCIDENT TODAY INVOLVED INCLUDING ANY KNOWN OR UNKNOWN INJURIES INCURRED. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I CAN DO TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

APPROXIMATELY ONE WEEK AGO, MY 2010 COROLLA SURGED FORWARD APPROXIMATELY 6-8 FEET AFTER I PLACED IN PARK IN MY WORK PARKING LOT. THE TACHOMETER WENT TO ABOVE 2000 RPMS, AND THE CARS SPEED WENT OVER 20 MPH BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO JAM ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE BRAKE OR THE GAS PEDAL. I ALMOST HIT A TREE.

THIS IS THE THIRD ACCELERATION INCIDENT WITH MY VEHICLE SINCE FEBRUARY 12TH. THE DEALERSHIP HAS EVEN HAD A SPECIALIST LOOK AT MY CAR, AND THEY SAID NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY BECAUSE OF THE ABOVE INCIDENT. THE GENERAL SERVICE MANAGER SAID TO ME QUOTE UNQUOTE "WE CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR VEHICLE, AND CAN NOT VERIFY YOUR COMPLAINT. YOU HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR TO US FOUR TIMES FOR THIS SAME ACCELERATION PROBLEM AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR CAR. WE HAVE NOT CHARGED YOU ANY OF THESE TIMES.

SO I SAID ARE YOU IMPLYING I AM A LIER OR A BAD DRIVER AND HE REFUSED TO ANSWER. I THEN SAID I AM NEITHER OF THE TWO AND THAT I RESENTED THE IMPLICATION TO BOTH.

The windshield wipers stop mid cycle. At anytime while driving. If I wiggle them they will resume function. In heavy rain losing wipers and visibility is a huge safety issue. Sometimes they won’t even work when I turn them on and then they will all of a sudden turn on.

My check ingine light came on. I had noticed the slippery when wet light came on and the vcs light also came on. Since the Catalytic Converter seemed to be the problem. The gentleman at AutoZone diagnosed the car and told me about Catalytic clean. I used that and the lights went off. I believe I was sold a crappy car. The dealership did nothing to replace or look at it. I had not even put 2000 miles on the car since purchased.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING A DANGEROUS FUEL PUMP ISSUE FOR SOME TIME. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE THE SAME ISSUE THAT THEY HAVE A FUEL PUMP ISSUE FOR 2018 & 2019 TOYOTAS! I BELIEVE TOYOTA HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS FOR SOME TIME. MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA HAS BEEN BACKFIRING, STALLING OUT, & SHUTTING OFF WHEN I GET INTO HEAVY OR STANDSTILL TRAFFIC, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. IT STALLED OUT & SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF ROBBINS STREET (3 LANE 1 WAY STREET) NEAR THE TACONY PALMYRA BRIDGE DUE TO A BRIDGE OPENING THAT BACKED UP TRAFFIC FOR OVER 45 MINUTES 1 DAY ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK. WHEN THE BRIDGE FINALLY OPENED, I WAS ALMOST HIT SEVERAL TIMES. LUCKILY A MECHANIC CAME BY & HE WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN. I DID TAKE IT TO AAA SERVICE CENTER IN MT LAUREL NJ & THEY DID DIAGNOSED THAT IT IS A FUEL PUMP ISSUE THAT WILL COST $2,273.40. AGAIN I BELIEVE TOYOTA HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS FOR SOME TIME SIMILAR TO THE BRAKE RECALL THAT THEY HAD SOME TIME AGO. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. THIS ISSUE STILL CONTINUES...

MY 2010 TOYOTA KEPT STALLING OUT, MOSTLY WHEN IT WAS IN IDLE MODE. IF I WAS DRIVING A SLOWER SPEED, IT WOULD SOMETIMES LOSE POWER AND WHEN I PUSHED ON THE GAS PEDAL, THERE WAS NOTHING THERE...LIKE AIR. IT WOULD STALL OUT IF I WAS SITTING IN TRAFFIC OVER MINUTES. I HAD TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND KEEP MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL TO KEEP IT IDLED UP. INITIALLY I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE IGNITION COILS, WHICH I HAD REPLACED. THEN THE SPARK PLUGS WERE REPLACED. THEN THE AIR MASS SENSOR. AND MY BATTERY. ALSO THE REPAIR SHOP DID SOME ADJUSTMENT TO THE THROTTLE. NONE OFF THAT REPAIRED THE VEHICLE; IT WAS STILL STALLING OUT JUST OUT OF THE BLUE. THE LAST REPAIR SHOP SAID THEY ONLY SAW ONE CODE IN THE COMPUTER AND IT WAS GIVING THEM A READING WHERE THE FUEL PUMP HAD SOMETHING LIKE A "VAPOR LOCK" AND WAS NOT SENDING OUT FUEL LIKE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO. THIS CAR HAS BEEN STALLING OUT ON US SINCE APRIL 2019 AND HAS HAD REPLACEMENT PARTS THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. MY FUEL PUMP WAS FINALLY REPLACED ON FEBRUARY 21,2020 AND SO FAR IT HAS NOT STALLED OUT AT ALL, EVEN WHEN IT'S IN IDLE MODE. COST TO REPAIR IT WAS $901.67.

GAS PEDAL WHERE CHANGE AS THE RECALL REQUIRED.THE STEERING PROBLEM IS NOW A NEWER CONCERN FOR US. WE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM WITH STEERING BEFORE BUT WE JUST IGNORE IT.

TO TOYOTA : SENDING OUT AN INTERIM RECALL NOTICE #16V-340 SAYING YOU ARE PREPARING A REMEDY IS NOT SATISFACTORY THIS RECALL HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR MONTHS AND A REMEDY SHOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN COMPLETED. TOYOTA HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO PREPARE THIS REMEDY. ADVISING OWNERS NOT TO DRIVE VEHICLE WITH PASSENGERS IN FRONT IS CERTAINLY NOT CONDUCIVE WHEN YOU ONLY HAVE ONE VEHICLE TO USE. YOU SHOULD PROVIDE ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE MEANTIME.

On 10/27/2021, the car was enroute to work when the sunroof glass completely departed the vehicle and hit the road surface immediately behind where it shattered completely. There was no surrounding traffic to endanger thankfully. On inspection, the sunroof frame shows deep corrosion and clear evidence of de-bonding over a lengthy period. We had been hearing wind noise for quite awhile but were unaware of the exact nature and location of it. No water leaks have been noticed. Research subsequently found the Webasto Hollandia 700 recall. Serial number of our unit is squarely in the recalled serial range.We are trying to get it taken care of with the company; no success at contacting them thus far.

IT DOESN'T SEEM STABLE--AS IF IT'S BEING BUFFETED BY HIGH WINDS EVEN THOUGH IT'S A CALM DAY. I AM AFRAID IT IS GOING TO VEER OFF THE ROAD AND THEREFORE I HAVE TRIED TO AVOID DRIVING IT ON THE INTERSTATE. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THAT ALL THE COROLLAS ARE LIKE THAT AND IT WILL ONLY BE FIXED IF THERE IS A RECALL. I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO KEEP THIS CAR IF THIS IS NOT FIXED BECAUSE I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. *TR THE CONSUMER STATED THE AIRBAG RECALL HAS EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO BE REPAIRED.

TAKATA RECALL.........TOYOTA HAS ALMOST A YEAR TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE MAKE IT WHERE MY FRIENDS CAN RIDE IN THE FRONT SEAT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I PURCHASED THIS CAR BECAUSE OF TOYOTA'S SAFETY RATING MARCH 2010, THE NEXT DAY THERE WAS A RECALL AND IT HAS GONE DOWN HILL SINCE. I PAID CASH MONEY FOR MY CAR AND CANNOT AFFORD TO PURCHASE ANOTHER. IF THE AIRBAGS OR ANY OTHER SAFETY RECALL IS NOT FIXED ASAP AND SOMETHING HAPPENS I OR MY HEIRS WILL OWN TOYOTA! AND TAKATA! GET BUSY!!!!!! NOTHING HAPPENED YET BUT DOES IT HAVE TO?

WHEN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, I IMMEDIATELY FELT AN AWKWARDNESS WITH THE BRAKES. ANYTIME I BEGAN TO STOP & THE ROAD WAS LESS THAN PERFECT, THE BRAKES LOCKED UP & I SEEMED TO SLIDE TO A STOP. THE FEELING WAS ALMOST LIKE STOPPING ON GRAVEL OR HYDROPLANING, JUST NO CONTROL FELT. WHEN I COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS, I WAS TOLD THAT'S HOW THE NEW BRAKES ARE (I HAD PREVIOUSLY OWNED AN OLDER VEHICLE) & THE BRAKE INSPECTION FOUND NOTHING. I HAVE BEEN IN TWO MVAS PRIOR, ONCE I WAS REAR ENDED & THE OTHER TIME SOMEONE RAN A STOP SIGN & HIT ME. 10/12/11 I REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE & WAS ALSO REAR ENDED IN THE PROOCESS. WHEN I WENT TO BRAKE SUDDENLY THAT DAY, THE CAR SLID INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I AM A VERY CONSCIENTIOUS DRIVER. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN TOLD THAT WHEN SOMEONE REAR ENDS ANOTHER VEHICLE, IT IS AUTOMATICALLY THEIR FAULT. I HAVE SINCE PURCHASED ANOTHER NEW VEHICLE, DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER, AND BEING TOLD THE TOYOTA BRAKES WERE RIGHT, COULDN'T BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH. 10/10/11 I HAD LAB WORK PERFORMED & WAS DIAGNOSED AS BEING PREGNANT. THIS ACCIDENT TWO DAYS LATER, THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY, EITHER. THE HOOD OF THE CAR CAME IN THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD ON ME, THE CAR HAS BEEN DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. THERE WERE TWO FAULTY TOYOTA PARTS THAT FAILED ME AND MY UNBORM CHILD THAT DAY-THE BRAKES AND THE AIRBAGS. I GET TO HAVE SURGERY 10/28/11 TO REMOVE THE NOW NONVIABLE CHILD FROM MY WOMB. I EQUATE THIS LOSS TO THE FAILURES ON TOYOTA'S PART. *TT

DRIVING 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA MANUAL TRANS ON INTERSTATE ON 8/2/10 AT 2:30 P.M. HAD CRUISE CONTROL ON GOING 70 MPH. ENGAGED CLUTCH, SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL AND BRAKED IN PREPARATION TO STOP FOR TRAFFIC JAM AHEAD. BRAKE DID NOT ENGAGE AND VEHICLE CONTINUED AT 70 MPH WITHOUT TOUCHING ACCELERATOR. CONTINUED ATTEMPTS TO BRAKE, DOWNSHIFT, TURN OFF CRUISE CONTROL WITH NO DECREASE IN SPEED. INITIALLY UNABLE TO DOWNSHIFT BUT THEN DID GET INTO LOWER GEAR BUT WITH NO RESULTING DECREASE IN SPEED, NOR DID THE ENGINE MAKE ANY NOISE INDICATING THAT I HAD DOWNSHIFTED. I WAS ABLE TO GET ONTO SHOULDER WHERE I CONTINUED TO GO 70 MPH.I THEN GOT OFF AT AN EXIT THAT HAD AN INCLINE. PART WAY UP THE HILL FELT SOMETHING DISENGAGE AND THE CAR SLOWED- NOT JUST DUE TO THE INCLINE I THINK. I WAS THEN ABLE TO PUT ON EMERGENCY BRAKE AND THE CAR STOPPED. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES I TRIED THE BRAKES AGAIN AND THEY WORKED. I DID NOT REENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL AFTER THIS. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS OCCURRED AFTER I HAD TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR BOTH TOYOTA RECOMMENDED RECALLS REGARDING THE FLOOR MATS AND PUTTING A MODIFICATION IN THE GAS PEDAL. WHEN I WENT IN FOR RECALLS I ASKED ABOUT PLACEMENT OF A COMPUTER BRAKE OVERRIDE SYSTEM AND WAS FIRST TOLD THAT FIX WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE, THEN TOLD IT WAS NOT RELEVANT TO MY CAR, AND, AFTER THE ABOVE EVENT TOLD AGAIN THAT TOYOTA DID NOT YET HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE TO DO THIS FIX ON COROLLAS. THE DEALERSHIP HAVE THUS FAR BEEN UNPLEASANT AND SUGGESTING THAT I MIGHT NOT BE TELLING THE TRUTH. *TR

THE CAR WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE. IT WAS RUNNING IN PARK WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON. MY WIFE PUT HER FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND RELEASED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. AT THE SAME TIME SHE RELEASED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE THE ENGINE REVVED UP DRAMATICALLY. THE RPM'S INCREASED AS IF SHE HAD THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. IT KEPT THAT UP UNTIL SHE SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. *TR

I WAS STARTING TO BACK OUT OF A DIAGONAL PARKING SPACE AND SUDDENLY THE CAR RAPIDLY ACCELERATED AND BACKED ACROSS TWO LANES OF DOWNTOWN BUSINESS TRAFFIC COLLIDING WITH A VEHICLE PARKED DIAGONALLY ACROSS THE STREET. WHEN MY VEHICLE STARTED ACCELERATING I STOMPED ON MY BRAKE BUT THE CAR DID NOT STOP UNTIL IT HIT THE OTHER VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THIS IS AN INCIDENT OF "UNINTENDED LOW-SPEED SURGING" AS REPORTED ON THE INTERNET AND UNDER NHTSA ACTION NUMBER DP14003. *JS

MY TOYOTA COROLLA 2010 CAR HAS MANUAL TRANSMISSION. WHEN I DROVE AT ABOUT 35MPH ON CITY STREET AND HIT BRAKE PEDAL, ENGINE SUDDENLY ROARED TO 8000RPM. I DEPRESSED THE CLUTCH FULLY, TURNED OFF ENGINE, HIT HARD THE BRAKE PEDAL,TURNED LEFT TO MEDIAN; THE CAR HIT HARD THE MEDIAN CURB AND STOPPED PARTLY IN LEFT LANE. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS ON PEDALS AND TURNED ON ENGINE, IT STILL ROARED IN THE FIRST SEVERAL TRIES. THE CAR EVENTUALLY WORKED NORMALLY AFTER 10 MINUTES AND NO INJURY HAPPENED. I NEVER LET THE ENGINE RUN OVER 5000RPM EVEN WHEN I TESTED THE CAR AND ENGINE; MY MAXIMAL RUNNING RPM IS ABOUT 3000. THIS 8000RPM SHOULD NOT BE FROM MY OPERATION. I WAS NOT CONVINCED ON 'STICK PEDAL" OR "FLOOR MAT" CAUSE FOR THIS CASE. THE SEQUENCE "TURNED OFF ENGINE, BRAKED" MIGHT BE GOOD TO "BRAKED TO STOP AND TURNED OFF ENGINE" BECAUSE IT IS TOO HARD TO BRAKE WITH ENGINE OFF. BUT, WHEN YOU HEAR THE SCARY 8000RPM ROARING ENGINE, THE FIRST REACTION IS TURN IT OFF. I HAVE SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH DEALER. *TR

2010 TOYOTA COROLLA FIRST EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS JUNE 2010 (CAR PURCHASED MARCH 2010) ON A WARM DAY I.E. 90 DEGREES THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN, COASTS TO A STOP. STILL ABLE TO STEER TO GET OFF THE ROAD. WAIT 10 TO 15 MINUTES AND CAR WILL RESTART. THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED MY SON WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, TOTALLY SHOCKED HIM. THE NEXT TIME I WAS DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE THROUGH A CONGESTED MOUNTAIN PASS, WAS FORTUNATE THAT NO SEMI TRUCKS WERE DIRECTLY BEHIND ME AND THAT THERE WAS A SHOULDER ON THIS STRETCH. TOOK INTO DEALER AFTER SAME EXPERIENCE ON 2 TRIPS. THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE A PROBLEM. JUNE 2011 DROVE 200 MILES ON THE ROAD, THEN DROVE IN TOWN SAME DAY WITH MULTIPLE STOPS. DRIVING AT APPROX. 35 MPH, CAR JERKED, STEPPED ON GAS WITH NO RESPONSE. ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT. WITH TRAFFIC BACKING UP BEHIND US AND CAR WOULD NOT RESTART, DRIVER BEHIND US AND MY OCTOGENARIAN FATHER PUSHED THE CAR AROUND THE CORNER TO A CHURCH PARKING LOT. CALLED TRIPLE AAA FOR A TOW, AFTER WAITING A HALF HOUR TRIED TO START CAR. IT STARTED. CALLED TRIPLE AAA TO CANCEL TOW. DURING THE NEXT 1 TO 2 MILES THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN 3 MORE TIMES AND EACH TIME WAS ABLE TO COAST OUT OF THE ROADWAY. FINALLY HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER. THEY EXAMINED VEHICLE NEXT MORNING AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP ON 2010 AND 2011 TOYOTA COROLLAS IN HEAT AND AT ALTITUDE. ENGINEERS ARE WORKING ON A NEW FUEL PUMP. TOYOTA DOES NOT KNOW WHEN A NEW PUMP WILL BE AVAILABLE. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AS YOU DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE ENGINE WILL SHUT DOWN. WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE. JUST PUT ON FLASHERS AND COAST TO SIDE OF THE ROAD. OF COURSE THERE MAY NOT BE A PLACE TO PULL OVER AND WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU ARE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY WITH MANY VEHICLES GOING 70 MPH. TOYOTA KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM AND THEY ARE TELLING CUSTOMERS TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THIS DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. *TR

JUST PURCHASED A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S ON JULY 23, 2010. THE STEERING DID NOT SEEM RIGHT. AT ONE WEEK I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY GAVE IT AN ALIGNMENT, WHICH DID NOT REALLY IMPROVE THE STEERING. IT IS HORRIBLE ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY ARMS HURT FROM TRYING TO KEEP IT IN THE LANE. THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME UNTIL I STARTED TO INVESTIGATE, AND FOUND OUT ALL OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. IT MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU DO NOT HAVE CONTROL OF THE CAR. IT SWERVES FROM SIDE TO SIDE. TIRED PUTTING MORE AIR IN THE TIRES, DOES NOT HELP. I HAVE NOT EVEN MADE MY FIRST PAYMENT YET. I HAVE CALLED CORPORATE OFFICES, AND AM AWAITING A RESPONSE FROM THEM. WE NEED TO START A CLASS ACTION SUIT. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA LESS THAN 30 DAYS AGO. I BELIEVE THE STEERING IS EITHER GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR AT LEAST CAUSE US TO GET A TICKET FROM DRIFTING IN AND OUT OF OUR LANE OF TRAFFIC. I AM 32 YEARS OLD AND HAVE BOUGHT AND DROVE TONS OF VEHICLES SO I AM NOT AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER. I OWN A 1988 TOYOTA PICKUP THAT IS EASIER TO KEEP IN A STRAIGHT LINE THAN THIS CAR. BEFORE I WAS READY TO PURCHASE THE CAR I DID SOME RESEARCH AND SAW SOME COMPLAINTS ABOUT HOW HARD IT WAS TO KEEP THEM DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST PEOPLE JUMPING ON THE TOYOTA RECALL BANDWAGON TRYING TO GET SOMETHING FOR NOTHING. I ALSO FIGURED IT WOULD BE A PERFECT TIME TO BUY A TOYOTA AND GET A DEAL BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS THEY ARE HAVING. WHEN I MENTIONED THE PROBLEM TO THE DEALER WHILE TEST DRIVING THE CAR HE SAID " I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING. IT PROBABLY WILL JUST TAKE SOME GETTING USED TO." IT HAS BEEN A MONTH AND THEIR IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING. IT IS VERY VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP IN A STRAIGHT LINE. IT IS ALMOST SO SENSITIVE THAT JUST PUTTING YOUR HANDS WHEEL WILL CAUSE A SLIGHT CHANGE IN DIRECTION. THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP THE CAR IN A STRAIGHT LINE DOWN A STRAIGHT ROAD IS TO TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF THE WHEEL. IF IT IS WINDY THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO CORRECT FOR DIRECTIONAL CHANGES THAT ARE NOT HAPPENING. IT DRIFTS HORRIBLY BAD DURING EVEN SMALL WINDS. I KNOW IT IS NOT JUST MY DRIVING HABITS. WE JUST MOVED FROM PALMER ALASKA AND ROUTINELY DROVE A 1990 FORD ESCORT, AND THE 1988 TOYOTA PICKUP IN WINDS OVER 50 MILES AN HOUR WITH EFFECTS LESS THAN THOSE IN THE 2010 COROLLA. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S ON 11-7-2009. ON THE TEST DRIVE I COMPLAINED TO THE SALESMAN THAT THE STEERING FELT STRANGE. IT SEEMED TO HAVE A CENTER SPOT AND THEN ANY LEFT OR RIGHT TURN WOULD CAUSE A MINOR PULL EITHER DIRECTION AS IF THE STEERING TURNED ON. THE SALESMAN SAID IT WAS THE ELECTRIC STEERING ON ALL THE NEW CARS. THAT WAS A SLOW SPEED TEST DRIVE. AFTER THE PURCHASE I GOT ON THE INTERSTATE AND WAS SHOCKED TO FEEL THE STEERING FEEL AS IF I WERE GOING AROUND A SEMI TRACTOR TRAILER RIG AND BEING PUSHED AROUND BY THE WIND, BUT YET I WAS NOT NEAR A VEHICLE. IT SEEMED LIKE LOOSE STEERING OR TIRE SQUIRM. WHEN I GOT BACK FROM MY TRIP I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER AND ASKED IF THERE IS AN ADJUSTMENT ON THE POWER STEERING OR IF THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE TIRES. TO BOTH QUESTIONS MY SERVICE ADVISOR SAID NO. ON ANOTHER TRIP ON THE INTERSTATE, IT ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTED ACTING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO FISH TAIL SWINGING BACK AND FORTH, LIKE I WAS RIDDING ON BALLOON TIRES, OR WITHOUT SIDEWALLS. I QUICKLY SLOWED DOWN. IN CROSS WINDS OR GOING AROUND A SEMI IT IS WORSE. AT MY 5,000 SERVICE, I ASKED IF THERE ARE ANY STEERING OR TIRE ISSUES, AND MY ADVISOR STILL SAID NO, BUT PART OF THE SERVICE WAS TO ROTATE THE TIRES, AND THIS HAS SEEMED TO LESSEN THE SQUIRM. I NOW HAVE 7,000 MILES ON MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S. *TR

TAKATA RECALL HELLO, MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR 9 MONTHS. THAT MEANS NEARLY AN ENTIRE YEAR OF NOT BEING ABLE TO SAFELY TRANSPORT PASSENGERS. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A MASS SCALE ISSUE THAT IS CHALLENGING TO SOLVE, BUT IT'S ALSO RIDICULOUS FOR ME TO SPEND SO MUCH MONEY ON A CAR, ONLY TO LOSE BASICALLY 25% OF THE SEAT SPACE I PAY FOR. IT'S CAUSED MUCH DIFFICULTY TRANSPORTING MY FAMILY, BECAUSE I'M DEFINITELY NOT ALLOWING ANYONE TO SIT IN A SEAT THAT MIGHT KILL THEM. I EXPECTED A LONG WAIT FOR THIS TO RESOLVE, BUT TAKING NEARLY A YEAR IS BORDERING ON UNACCEPTABLE. WHEN CAN I EXPECT TOYOTA TO GET ON THE BALL? THANKS

TAKATA RECALL, GOT RECALL INFO, TOOK THE CAR TO TOYOTA, NO SOLUTION TO PROBLEM. THEY SAID THEY HAD NO PROBLEMS. IT WAS AN INTERIM CALL. MEANTIME, DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. . SO I FEEL LIKE I AM JUST STANDING IN LINE, PAYING FOR SOMETHING I CANNOT FULLY USE. WHERE IS THE FIX TO THE PROBLEM?? IN THE MEANTIME, I AM DRIVING MY UNSAFE CAR, AS SHRAPNEL CAN EXPLODE AT ANYTIME, AND GO ANYWHERE. I NEED HELP HERE. I AM A SAFE DRIVER, WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER GUY. I LIVE IN FLORIDA, AND FIT RIGHT INTO THE RECALL NOTICE, HOWEVER TOYOTA SEEMS NOT TO BE ABLE TO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I AM UPSET, I AM PAYING ON A CAR THAT I CAN ONLY USE A SMALL PORTION OF. AND STILL NOT FEEL SAFE. I LOVE MY CAR, I WANT TO KEEP IT. BUT IT SEEMS LIKE I BOUGHT A FOUR BEDROOM HOUSE THAT MAYBE WILL ONLY HOLD ONE.

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA, WHOSE VIN NUMBER IS: [XXX]. THAT CAR HAD A LOW MILEAGE WHEN I BROUGHT TO GERMAIN TOYOTA IN NAPLES, FLORIDA, TO FIX ANY PROBLEM AT THAT TIME THAT HAD CAUSED THE "ENGINE LIGHT" TO APPEAR ON THE DASH. I WAS TOLD THAT THE "GAS CAP" WAS THE PROBLEM AND THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE IT; I FOLLOWED THEIR RECOMMENDATION. BUT, ONE DAY AFTER THE SAME LIGHT APPEARED AGAIN. DISAPPEAR; THEREFORE, I DECIDED NOT TO COME BACK FOR THAT SAME THING. RECENTLY, IN SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT BOTH IN LOCAL AND HIGHWAY 75 WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR SIGN THAT SUCH THING WAS GOING TO HAPPEN: ?THE GAS PEDAL JUST GOES TO ZERO, THAT MEANS THE PRESSURE WENT QUICKLY AND SUDDENLY TO NO PRESSURE, AND THREE LIGHTS ARE SHOWN ON THE DASH.? THANK GOD, I AM STILL ALIVE! I TOOK THE CAR TO GERMAIN TOYOTA, THEY HAD URGED ME TO REPLACE THE "BATTERY," WHICH I DID. THE PROBLEM RESURFACED THE DAY AFTER. THE SECOND TIME, THEY ASKED ME TO REPLACE THE "ECU," WHICH I DID. THAT COST ME MORE THAN $800, CLOSE TO $900. THE THREE LIGHTS REAPPEARED AFTER TWO DAYS. I CAME BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO GERMAIN TOYOTA, THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS ANOTHER THING THAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. LAST WEEK, THE FIRST WEEK OF DECEMBER, I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THEM FOR THE SAME LIGHTS, AND THEY TOLD ME TO REPLACE AGAIN THE "GAS CAP," I PAID ANOTHER MONEY, BUT THE SAME PROBLEM CONTINUES TO GO ON AND ON AND PERSIST EVERY WEEK. THE DEALER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND ACCEPT THAT IT IS A FACTORY DEFECT. THOSE THINGS HAPPENED BOTH IN STREETS AND HIGHWAY I-75. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT ANYMORE, AND I DO NOT WANT TO SELL IT TO PLACE SOMEONE ELSE'S LIFE IN PERIL. THEREFORE, I ASK YOUR DEPARTMENT FOR HELP. I CANNOT KEEP ON SPENDING ALMOST EVERY WEEK FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. I THANK YOU IN ADVANCE! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AT APPROX 11:30 PM ON JULY 15TH 2016, MY FIANC, MYSELF AND 2 OF OUR FRIENDS WERE HEADING HOME FROM DOWNTOWN MIAMI ON I-95. IT WAS RAINING EXTREMELY HARD, SO EVERYONE WAS GOING WELL BELOW THE SPEED LIMIT. I WOULD APPROX WE WERE GOING 35-40 MPH. THE CAR IN FRONT OF US SLAMMED ON HIS BREAKS DUE TO THE RAIN COMING DOWN EXTREMELY HARD, AND I PROCEEDED TO DO THE SAME. HOWEVER INSTEAD OF MY CAR BREAKING, IT BEGAN ACCELERATING 10-15MPH. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO CARS TO MY RIGHT AND I WAS ABLE TO VEER OUT OF THE WAY OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF US, OR ELSE WE WOULD OF BEEN IN A HORRIBLE CAR ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLY DEAD. AS EXPECTED, MY FIANC IS EXTREMELY SHOOKEN UP BY WHAT HAPPENED. I KNOW THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 2010 COROLLA AND I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN FOR ALL THE RECALLS AND INSPECTIONS BUT OBVIOUSLY THERE IS SOMETHING STILL WRONG WITH THE 2010 COROLLAS BECAUSE I ALMOST DIED TONIGHT DIE TO UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION

MY SON RECEIVED HIS CAR TODAY THAT WAS SHIPPED TO HIM FROM MAUI TO PORTSMOUTH,VA. AS HE WAS DRIVING BACK TO BASE HIS PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR FELL OFF. THE INSIDE WAS MELTED. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE MIRROR. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD. I CONTACTED TOYOTA VIA EMAIL ABOUT THE INCIDENT. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW AND HAS ONLY HAD ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. THERE IS EITHER A FAULTY CONNECTION OR FAULTY PART THAT CAUSED THIS. I NOW WORRY THAT THE CAR MAY CATCH FIRE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK WHEN SUDDENLY THICK SMOKE STARTED APPEARING FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE POWER WINDOW SWITCH. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND GOT OUT OF THE CAR. THE SMOKE HAD THE TYPICAL SMELL OF BURNING PLASTIC AND THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW SLOWLY OPENED ON ITS OWN. AFTER 5 MINUTES, THE SMOKE STOPPED AND I CONTINUED TO MY OFFICE AS IT WAS NEARBY. LATER IN THE EVENING, UPON REMOVING THE SWITCH, THE MELTED PLASTIC WAS CLEARLY VISIBLE. ONE OF THE SWITCHES ON THE PANEL DOES NOT DEPRESS ANYMORE DUE THE MELTING OF THE PLASTIC. THE SWITCH THAT DOES NOT DEPRESS IS FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW AND IT HAS BEEN OPEN SINCE FRIDAY JULY 19TH BECAUSE THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN FIXED YET. I AM AWARE OF A RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE HOWEVER, IT IS FOR COROLLA MODELS UP TO 2009 AND SINCE MINE IS A 2010 MODEL, TOYOTA REFUSES TO ADDRESS THIS SITUATION. *TR

I TOOK MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S IN FOR SERVICE ON 9/26/14 AT VICTORY TOYOTA OF CANTON, MI 48188 FOR A REGULAR SERVICE. ALL SERVICE HAS BEEN COMPLETED AT VICTORY TOYOTA OF CANTON, MI 48188 SINCE I PURCHASE THE BRAND NEW VEHICLE FROM THEM. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE INFORMED ME THAT MY CAR HAD A TIMING COVER LEAK THAT WAS TO COST ME APPROXIMATELY $1,300.00 TO FIX AND THAT IF I CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT THE LEAK WOULD GET WORSE. I AM OUT OF MY TWO YEAR WARRANTY TIME PERIOD. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT MY CAR WAS THE 6TH THEY'D SEEN IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND ONE OF THEM WAS EVEN AS LOW AS $18,000 MILES. HE STATED THAT AT SOME POINT THERE WOULD PROBABLY BE A RECALL. I CALLED TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS AND OPENED CASE NUMBER [XXX] AND WAIT TO HEAR WHAT THEIR SOLUTION IS. I ADVISED THAT ANYTHING LESS THAN FULL REPAIR BY TOYOTA AT NO CHARGE TO ME WOULD BE UNACCEPTABLE. SUCH AN ISSUE SHOULD NOT POTENTIALLY HAPPEN IN A VEHICLE UNTIL 100,000 TO 110, 000 MILES. THE FACT THAT THE SERVICE REP SAID THAT MY CAR WAS THE 6TH THEY'D SEEN IN THE LAT TWO WEEKS IS A SERIOUS RED FLAG.

I HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. DEC.24 2009 WAS A REPORT OF THE FIRST FAILURE. I WAS DRIVING OUT OF A RESIDENTIAL PARKING LOT AND APPLIED MY BRAKES BEFORE I APPROACHED THE STREET AND MY CAR ENDED UP ACCELERATING HITTING THE PASSENGER DOOR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. MOREOVER IF I DRIVE OVER A BUMPY SURFACE OR POT HOLE MY PEDALS START TO KICK BACK OR VIBRATE. DON'T KNOW WHAT TO CALL IT. ALSO I HAVE 2 RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE ACCORDING TO TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER. AFTER FIXING MY RECALL I NOW HAVE A NEW PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. IT MAKES SQUEAK SOUNDS AND SQUEALS AS I APPLY MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER ON MAR.2 AND THEY TOLD ME AFTER WAITING 2 HOURS THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR AND PUT ON MY SERVICE RECEIPT AS "NORMAL NOISE". ALSO REGARDING THE ACCIDENT A TOYOTA INSPECTOR FROM CORPORATE INSPECTED MY CAR BEFORE MY RECALL WAS FIXED AND DESPITE THE TWO RECALLS SAID THAT MY VEHICLE HAS NO PROBLEMS AND THE ACCIDENT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. I NOW DRIVE A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA THAT SQUEALS AND SQUEAKS EVERY DAY AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY IS FIGHTING PROPERTY DAMAGE AND BODILY INJURY CLAIMS FROM THE DRIVER I STRUCK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND EVERYTHING APPEARS TO BE MY FAULT AND NOT TOYOTA. IM IN SUCH DISTRESS WITH TOYOTA I DON'T KNOW WHAT MORE TO DO. I GAVE THEM CHANCE AFTER CHANCE TO HELP ME BUT ITS JUST GETTING WORSE. THIS IS MY FIRST NEW CAR AND ALSO MY FIRST ACCIDENT I EVER HAD. IM SCARED THAT I HAVE TO PAY 20,000 FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS FOR A DEFECTED CAR. PLEASE HELP! *TR

I DRIVE A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM; ESPECIALLY IF I AM TRYING TO APPLY THE BRAKE TO SLOW THE CAR AND AM MAKING A RIGHT TURN(EVEN SLIGHTLY TURNING RIGHT). IT'S LIKE THE BRAKES LOCK UP AND THE STEERING GETS LIKE A MAC TRUCK. THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHEN I GO OVER A BUMP AND/OR POTHOLE. IT MOST RECENTLY EVEN HAPPENED WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THERE WAS A SLIGHT RIGHT CURVE IN THE ROAD AND I WASN'T APPLYING THE BRAKES. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY AND THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. WITHIN AN HOUR OF LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP; IT HAPPENED TWICE YET THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE A BRAND NEW CAR AND AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. SUPPOSEDLY MY CAR WASN'T RECALLED FOR THE GAS PEDAL BECAUSE IT WAS MADE IN JAPAN BUT FEEL LIKE THE GAS PEDAL IS STICKY AT TIMES. I AM VERY UPSET BECAUSE I JUST PUT ALL THIS MONEY OUT AND I HAVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE. MY DAUGHTER AND I WERE GOING TO TRY AND DRIVE ACROSS COUNTRY THIS SUMMER AND NOW WE CANNOT POSSIBLY FOR WE DONOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR. TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE TO BUY BACK THE VEHICLES. I BELIEVE THERE IS A MUCH BIGGER PROBLEM CAUSING ALL THIS THAT THEY ARE NOT ADMITTING AND/OR HAVE NOT FOUND YET. I DIDN'T COMPLAIN OR TAKE THE CAR BACK RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE I HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE SCION XD AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG AGAIN AND AGAIN. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 COROLLA IT CONSTANTLY SWAYS WHILE DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. SOMETIMES I NEED TO HOLD ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL WITH BOTH HANDS TO KEEP IT FROM GOING INTO ANOTHER LANE. I SWITCHED FROM DRIVING A SMALL VW BEETLE AND WAS FAMILIAR WITH STRONG WINDS CAUSING THESE PROBLEMS BUT WHEN I LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW THERE WAS NO WIND ALL THE TREES WERE STILL AND NO FLAGS WERE WAVING. THERE HAS BEEN A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN I REALLY FELT THE CAR WAS GOING TO SWERVE OUT OF CONTROL IF I DIDN'T IMMEDIATELY SLOW DOWN. I ALSO FEEL A METAL GRINDING SENSATION WITH MY BRAKES WHEN I SLOW DOWN OVER UNEVEN PAVEMENT OR GO OVER A SPEED BUMP. THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME BUT IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS THAT I'VE HAD THE CAR IT OCCURRED 6 TIMES. I TOLD THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS AND THEY SAID IT COULDN'T BE DUPLICATED AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. WHICH IS COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS THERE HASN'T BEEN A TIME THAT I'VE DRIVEN ON THE FREEWAY AND NOT FELT THIS SWAYING. THEY DIDN'T EVEN TRY TO FIND A PROBLEM. THEY DIDN'T DO A THING TO HELP ME. THAN I HEARD OF OTHER COROLLA OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. SO I KNOW IT'S NOT JUST ME, THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR AND THEY NEED TO RECOGNIZE THEY MADE ANOTHER MISTAKE. *TR

THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY CAUSING BRUISING TO MY SHOULDER AND ABDOMEN AREAS. MY NECK AND BACK WERE INJURED CAUSING ME TO BE IMMOBILE FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS. I HAVE HAD CAT-SCANS AND MRI'S TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT MY INJURIES ARE. I HAVE TO GO TO PAIN MANAGEMENT TO DEAL WITH THE EVERYDAY PAIN AND MY LIFE HAS BEEN AFFECTED GREATLY. I INFORMED TOYOTA ABOUT THE AIRBAGS AND THEY SEEMED VERY CONCERNED. THE ARE INVESTIGATING THE ISSUE AND SENT OUT A COMPANY CALLED BOSCH TO DOWNLOAD INFORMATION FROM THE CDR BOX. I AM STILL WAITING ON TOYOTA'S ANSWER TO THIS PROBLEM. I WAS NEVER AWARE OF THIS RECALL AS I HAD PURCHASED THE CAR PRE-OWNED FROM A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP OCTOBER OF 2015. I ALSO REPORTED THE AIRBAG LIGHTS GOING OFF AND ON ALONG WITH OTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS TO TWO DIFFERENT TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS ALONG WITH ALLSTATE INSURANCE COMPANY, MY PROVIDER.

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES, MY CAR WILL REV UP. ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M GOING DOWN HILL. ANOTHER CONCERN IS THAT MY CAR WILL MAKE A 2-3 SECOND RATTLING NOISE UPON STARTING UP. IT ONLY MAKES THIS NOISE ONCE IN A WHILE AND IT IS COMING FROM THE ENGINE. ANOTHER ISSUE I'M HAVING IS THE CAR'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TRACK LIGHT AND VSC OFF LIGHT COMING ON SIMULTANEOUSLY ON ANY RAINY DAY AND STAYING ON FOR SEVERAL DAYS AFTER IT HAS STOPPED RAINING. I AVOID DRIVING AT FAST SPEEDS WHEN ITS RAINY BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THE CAR IS VERY UNSTABLE. MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WONT OPEN OR CLOSE AND VERY COLD DAYS AND OTHER DAYS IT MAKES A WEIRD NOISE.

WHILE DRIVING ON ROUTE 30 EAST IN PA, I EXPERIENCED A SCENARIO WHERE I WAS ON CRUISE CONTROL AND PRESSED THE BRAKE. THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AT IT'S SPEED AND SUBSEQUENT PRESSINGS OF THE BRAKES DID NOT SLOW THE CAR. I SHIFTED THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND THE BRAKES STILL WERE NOT SLOWING THE CAR ENOUGH. I HAD TO DRIVE INTO THE LEFT SHOULDER AND GRASS BEYOND THAT IN ORDER TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN ENOUGH TO LET OTHER CARS PASS SO I COULD GO INTO THE RIGHT LANE. THE NEXT BUSINESS I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND AFTER DRIVING 7 MILES AND LOOKING FOR ERROR CODES, REPORTED THAT THEY "COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE ISSUE". MY CAR ALREADY HAD ALL THE FIXES FOR THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION ISSUE THAT TOYOTA HAD A NUMBER OF RECALLS FOR DONE IN DECEMBER 2013. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE FURTHER INVESTIGATED BY TOYOTA BECAUSE IF THE REPORTED FIXES DO NOT WORK, THEN THERE COULD BE A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS/FATALITIES YET TO COME.

COMPLAINTS OF SOFT BRAKE PEDAL BROUGHT A SIMILAR "THAT'S NORMAL" RETORT EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS IN FOR SERVICE. AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED, FRONT ROTORS AND PADS WERE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY WERE FOUND TO HAVE WORN/GROVED APPROXIMATELY 1/8" DEEP PER SIDE (NOT REPORTED BY DEALER), NOT FROM METAL TO METAL CONTACT BUT JUST WEAR FROM PADS FRICTION MATERIAL.

1. THIS CAR CAN NOT BE DRIVEN IN A STRAIGHT LINE ON THE HIGHWAY EVEN WHEN YOU HOLD STEERING WITHOUT MOVING. IT SEEMS VEHICLE SLOWLY, CONSISTENTLY DRIFTS MOSTLY TO THE LEFT AND TO THE RIGHT. ONE NEEDS TO PAY SO MUCH ATTENTION ON STEERING WHILE DRIVING. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN THERE SINCE DAY ONE (8 MILES) AND I REQUESTED TO FIX BEFORE I SIGN THE PAPER WORK BUT NOT HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OTHER THAN CAR WASH. THIS ISSUE STILL EXISTS EVEN AFTER PERFORMING ALIGNMENT DURING OUR FIRST SERVICE VISIT AS I THOUGHT IT WAS AN ALIGNMENT ISSUE. WE BELIEVE IT IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE THAN STICKY PEDAL AND POSE A POTENTIAL RISK FOR COROLLA OWNERS IF WE CAN NOT CONTROL STEERING. IT HAS POTENTIAL ROAD HAZARD AS THE VEHICLE WANDERS BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT ESPECIALLY WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC AND FEELS LIKE CAR WHEELS ARE NOT UNDER CONTROL. WE ARE POSITIVE THAT THESE STEERING/SUSPENSION ISSUES WERE ALSO RAISED ON OTHER 2010 COROLLAS BY A NUMBER OF OWNERS. TOYOTA AND DEALERS MUST BE FULLY AWARE OF THESE CONCERNS BUT FAILED TO DECLARE UP FRONT. DURING OUR SECOND VISIT THEY TOLD US ABOUT TS 1040 AND REPLACED STEERING CONTROL COMPUTER BOARD. SEEMS WANDERING ISSUE IS GONE FOR NOW. BUT TIRES ARE PROBLEM AS I AM HAVING CONCERN FROM THE BEGINNING. 2. I FEEL HUMMING MILD VIBRATION/RESONANCE IN STEERING WHEEL WHEN WE CROSS 50-60 MPH. IT FEELS LIKE TIRES ARE VIBRATING THE STEERING WHEEL. REPLACING COMPUTER CONTROLLER DID NOT FIX MILD VIBRATION OF STEERING. 3. TIRES: AS I HAD DOUBT ABOUT TIRES THIS COULD BE TIRES PROBLEM BUT TOYOTA SERVICE TEAM IS NOT WILLING TO ACCEPT THE FACT. ONCE YOU CROSS 62 MPH YOU CAN CLEARLY FEEL THE TIRE VIBRATION MAINLY IN A STEERING WHEEL AND ALSO ON THE VEHICLE. ROAD FORCE BALANCING HAS BEEN DONE BUT THERE IS NO IMPROVEMENT. I AM NOT SURE IT IS ENGINE RELATED OR TIRES. I HAVE BEEN INSISTING ON REPLACING ANOTHER SET OF BETTER BALANCED TIRES OR DIFFERENT MAKE OF TIRES.

BRAKES AS WELL WERE NOT RESPONDING. ALL ATTEMPTS TO STOP THE CAR OR TURN IT TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID BUMPING THE RAILS AND KEEP IT STRAIGHT IN THE LANE FAILED. I COMPLETELY LOST CONTROL OVER THE CAR & IT STARTED FISHTAILING IN THE FRONT. THE CAR DIDN'T STOP UNTIL IT BUMPED INTO THE GUARDING RAIL, AT THIS MOMENT THE CAR JUST STOPPED AND IT TOOK THE CAR MORE THAN 20 FEED TO AUTOMATICALLY STOP BY IT SELF. I FAILED TO STOP IT.AT THIS MOMENT THE CAR CORRECTED ITS DIRECTION &WENT IN STRAIGHT LINE DIRECTION SCRUBBING AGAINST THE RAIL COMPLETELY DAMAGING THE ENTIRE LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR BEFORE IT STALL. THEN ALL THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS AND CAR SOUNDS WENT ON AND THE CAR STALLED. THE CAR WAS NOT IN A DRIVABLE CONDITION SO I HAD TO TOW IT AWAY. I HAVE A WITNESS WHO DESCRIBED MY ACCIDENT SAYING THAT MY CAR KEPT SWERVING TO THE LEFT & WAS AMBIGUOUSLY UNCONTROLLED, HE WAS THE ONE THAT TOOK CARE OF ME AFTER THE CAR BUMPED THE RAIL. THIS ACCIDENT IS A LIFE THREATENING ACCIDENT NOT ONLY FOR ME BUT ALSO FOR OTHERS ON THE HW. I WAS LUCKY IT HAPPENED ON MY WAY HOME AFTER I DROPPED OFF MY SON TO SCHOOL ,THE TWO CAR SEATS I HAD IN THE CAR WERE DAMAGED, THE CAR DAMAGE WAS ESTIMATED BY $10,000. I SUFFER FROM A SEVERE PAIN. *TR

PURCHASED A NEW 2010 COROLLA. DRIVING HOME FROM WORK LAST WEEK, I HAD TWO SERVICE LIGHTS ON (MY CAR HAS 1400 MILES ON IT). THE STEERING IN THE CAR SEEMED "LOOSE" AS I DROVE HOME, BUT WHEN I WENT TO TURN ON MY STREET, THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT TURN AND THE ABS FAILED. I HIT A CURB ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD DAMAGING A STRUT AND AN ALLOY WHEEL. MY LOCAL DEALER, LAKELAND TOYOTA, TOLD ME IT WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM BUT THAT I NEEDED TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD NO IDEA WHY THOSE TWO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON. I AM CURRENTLY TRYING TO WORK WITH TOYOTA CORPORATE TO GET THIS RESOLVED IN A MANNER THAT I WILL FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR. KIND OF HARD TO DO WHEN THEY REFUSE TO ACCEPT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY COROLLA, EVEN I DO NOT HIT THE GAS PEDAL, THE RPM STAYS AROUND 2000 AND SOMETIMES IT STARTED TO STUCK AROUND 3000 RPM FOR 15 TO 30 SECONDS THAN GOES TO NORMAL. I HAD DIFFICULTY TO SLOW DOWN IN BUSY TRAFFIC, BECAUSE EVEN I HIT THE BRAKES IT DOES NOT CUT THE GAS SO THE ENGINE STILL TRIES TO RUN AND THE CAR STILL TENDS TO GO, SO I AM NOT ABLE TO SLOW DOWN OR IT TAKES TIME TO SLOW DOWN. I AM DRIVING MY TOYOTA IN THE 5TH GEAR AND AROUND 3000 RPM. WHEN I NEED A SUDDEN STOP, I LET GO THE GAS PEDAL AND HIT THE BRAKE. THE ETCS COMMANDS HIGH IDLE EVEN I HIT THE BREAKS; THE PISTONS ARE STILL WORKING (THE ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING IN GEAR) WITH 3000 RPM SO I AM NOT ABLE TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. HOW COME ECM WOULD COMMAND FOR HIGH IDLE FROM TIME TO TIME? HOW CAN I STOP THE CAR OR SLOW DOWN IN NEED WHILE ECM IS COMMANDING HIGH IDLE? IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE A PROPER CONTROL ON THE CAR WHEN ECM COMMANDS HIGH IDLE. WHO CAN GIVE ME GUARANTEE THAT IT WOULD NOT GET STUCK IN HIGHER IDLES? (BECAUSE IT USED TO STUCK AROUND 2000 RPM AND RIGHT NOW IT ALSO STARTED STICKING AROUND 3000 RPM). WHEN I GET CLOSE TO A CURB OR TO AN EXIT I STOP HITTING THE GAS PEDAL ASSUMING THE CAR WILL GET SLOW BUT SINCE IT STICKS AT HIGH RPMS THE CAR DOES NOT GET SLOWER WHEN IT IS IN THE GEAR. *TR

I BOUGHT A TOYOTA COROLLA 2010 LE ON 04/03/2010, AND WHEN I DROVE IT ON THE FREEWAY FIRST TIME, I WAS SHOCKED/SCARED THE WAY WAS STEERING/HANDLING. I ALMOST HAD TWO ACCIDENTS WITH IT BECAUSE OF THE STEERING ISSUE. WHEN I DROVE IT ON THE FREEWAY I SAW THAT THE CAR IS LOOSING BALANCE (THE BACK CAR SHAKES), I FOUND STABILITY PROBLEMS (AS IF I DRIVE IN STRONG WINDS), AND BIG STEERING PROBLEMS (AS I LEARN TO DRIVE A TRICKY BICYCLE). TO GET AND MAINTAIN AN ALMOST CONTROL ON THE CAR DIRECTION I HAVE TO FOCUS MY ACTIONS AS MY COROLLA HAS ONLY TWO WHEELS LIKE A BIKE. I ALMOST ACT AS AN EQUILIBRATE FOR A ROPE DANCING. THE EXPERIENCE OF DRIVING MY COROLLA SHOWED THAT I HAVE LIMITED CONTROL OVER IT, AND MOST CONTROL I LOST WHEN I HAD TO USE SUDDEN BRAKES AT HIGH SPEED - IT WAS LIKE ON THE ICE. BACK JUMPS AND I STIR IN SAME DIRECTION; BACK JUMPS AGAIN IN THE OTHER DIRECTION AND I CHANGE THE STEERING IN THE OTHER DIRECTION TOO, AND SO ON. THESE EVENTS OCCUR ALMOST EVERY TIME I DROVE WITH SPEED AROUND 60 MILES/HOUR ON THE FREEWAYS THAT ARE NOT STRAIGHT. THE CONSEQUENCE IS THAT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY NEW CAR BECAUSE I AM NOT ABLE TO CONTROL IT, AND I RISK AN ACCIDENT. I WENT TO TOYOTA DEALER, THEY SAID THAT THEY KNOW THE SITUATION FROM OTHER CUSTOMERS TOO, BUT NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUES UNTIL IS NOT TOO LATE, AND PEOPLE MAKE ACCIDENTS AND INJURE. THANK YOU. *TR

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING COLUMN INITIALLY WHICH STARTED WITH SOME UNIQUE SOUND, THEN FROM FEB 2010 I WAS SERIOUSLY FACING STEERING FREEZE (WILL GET HARDEN) ONLY 15-20% OF STEERING MOVES WHEN IN 0' SPEED, FOR THIS I HAVE VISITED MY DEALER SERVICE CENTER 3 TIMES BUT THERE IS NO USE. ONLY WITH LOT OF DISAPPOINTMENT AND ARGUMENTS SAYING "WHAT IS THE REASON TO BUY A BRAND NEW CAR TO GET PROBLEMS" I WAS REQUESTING TO SOLVE MY PROBLEM. THEY SIMPLY SAID, THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO IF YOU HAVE NO OTHER MEAN TO COMMUTE ITS UPTO YOU AND IF YOU WANT YOU CALL TOYOTA HEAD QUARTERS FOR THIS. I EVEN SPENT LOT OF TIME IN CALLING MAIN TOYOTA NR BUT SIMPLY I GET VOICE MESSAGE THAT "THERE IS HUGE VOLUME OF CALL WAITING PLEASE WAIT". I REALLY WONDER WHEN I/ANYONE BUY A CAR FROM DEALER AND IF THEY CANNOT RECEIVE ME ASSIST ME PROPERLY "WHERE FROM I GET THE JUSTICE????". RECENTLY I FOUND TWO MORE NEW PROBLEMS THEY ARE: IN A SLOPE ROAD CAR PICKS-UP ACCELERATION AND MAINTAINS SPEED AS IF IT IS CRUISED AND ONCE I APPLY BREAK AFTER A WHILE THE SPEED COMES TO NORMAL POSITION OTHER PROB- FUEL INDICATOR STUCK UP TO FULL LEVEL INDI' EVEN THE FUEL IS LOW. WITH THIS I'M DAY BY DAY GETTING DEPRESSED AS I SPENT QUITE LOT OF SAVINGS (MONEY) ON THE CAR TO AVOID ANY HASSLES BUYING A USED CAR, BUT UNFORTUNATELY ITS A DISASTER TO ME.

AND EVERY TIME I TAKE IT OVER THERE THEY SAY "WELL THE CAR IS WORKING TO FACTORY STANDARDS" AND THEY WILL SEND ME ON MY WAY. I HAVE HAD MY BRAKES BLED AND MY CAR ALIGNMENT DONE TWICE AND THE CAR ONLY HAS 2000+ MILES ON IT. SO I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FROM WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND THEY GAVE ME THIS CUST STATES VEHICLE IS ALL OVER THE ROAD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS LIKE THE COMPUTER IS DRIVING THE CAR ON ITS OWN ~|~PERFORMED HEALTH CHECK ON ALL SYSTEMS. NO TROUBLE CODES STORED. TEST DROVE VEHICLE ON 10 MILE TRIP AND ~|~VEHICLE PERFORMED AS DESIGNED AT THIS TIME. PLEASE DIRECT CUSTOMER TO TOYOTA AT 1-800-331-4331 IF THEY HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. SO I TOOK THE CAR BACK AND CALLED THE # TO THEM AND THEY SAID SINCE THE TECH COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM THEN THERE IS NO PROBLEM. BULL. SO ON 03/01/2010 I TOOK MY CAR BACK IN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE SOMEONE GO ON A DRIVE WITH ME AND I MADE SURE IT WAS A WINDY DAY SO THEY CAN SEE HOW HARD IT IS TO KEEP THE CAR CENTERED IN ITS LANE. THE MECHANIC THAT WENT WITH ME SAID OH I SEE WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT HE EVEN HAD A HARD TIME KEEPING THE CAR FROM WONDERING OFF. SO HE SAID WELL IT COULD BE THE TIRES ARE NOT TO THE RIGHT POUNDS. I SAID NOPE I HAD THE AIR DONE TO FACTORY STANDARDS OF 35PSI ALL AROUND.

THIS PROBLEM IS NOT CONSISTENT MEANING IT IS NOT ALWAYS NOTICED EVERY TIME I DRIVE, I WOULD MAINTAIN THAT IT OCCURS AT LEAST 50% OF THE TIME HOWEVER. PROBLEM: I ATTEMPT TO MAINTAIN A CONSTANT SPEED FOR INSTANCE IN 3RD GEAR AT 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE FEELS AS IF IT WANTS TO SPEED UP, I THEN REMOVE SOME PRESSURE FROM THE ACCELERATOR, THE VEHICLE THEN SLOW BY JERKING, I THEN ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE AND THE VEHICLE JERKS AGAIN, BOTTOM LINE IS I CAN NOT MAINTAIN A CONSTANT SPEED.

IT FEELS LIKE STRONG WINDS ARE MOVING THE CAR BUT WINDS ARE ABSENT AND ROAD CONDITIONS ARE NORMAL. THIS EVENT COMES AND GOES UNEXPECTEDLY, GENERALLY LASTS THE DURATION OF MY COMMUTE ONCE STARTED, SOMETIMES OCCURS WITH THE TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE BUT NOT ALWAYS, SOMETIMES OCCURS AFTER RAPID BRAKING. IT DOES NOT FEEL LIKE AN ALIGNMENT OR BALANCE PROBLEM, THE CAR DARTS FROM ONE END OF THE LANE, TO THE MEDIAN OF THE LANE ON ITS OWN. ON THIS DATE 2-24-10 MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP FILLED THE TIRES, AND MADE A SLIGHT CHANGE TO THE LEFT ALIGNMENT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND STATED "THIS COULD BE A MATTER OF PERSONAL PREFERENCES" REGARDING HOW I FELT THE CAR DROVE WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THE TOYOTA MANAGER ALSO TOLD ME TODAY THAT THEY UNDERSTAND "THERE COULD BE A PROBLEM BUT THEY HAVE NO DIRECTION ON HOW TO REPAIR IT." WHEN ASKED THEN IF HE COULD GUARANTEE MY SAFETY AND THAT THIS WOULD NOT OCCUR AGAIN HE STATED NO, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING FOR HIM TO DO. NO INJURIES TO DATE. I DO NOT FEEL TOYOTA IS MAKING REASONABLE EFFORTS TO QUICKLY ELIMINATE THIS PROBLEM, ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM, AND DO NOT WISH TO RESOLVE THIS WITH STATEMENTS REGARDING MY PERSONAL PREFERENCE FOR THE DRIVE, AND SINCE THIS IN THEIR OPINION IS NOT REPRODUCIBLE FOR THEM IT IS NOT A VIABLE PROBLEM FOR THEM TO REPAIR. 2) ON APPROXIMATELY 2-11-10 I HAD TO USE MY BRAKES IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION IN WHICH MY BRAKES WERE TEMPORALLY NON-RESPONSE. I HAD TO DOWNSHIFT THE GEARS, REMOVE MY FOOT TOTALLY FROM THE GAS PEDAL ,AND MANEUVERED THE CAR AWAY FROM THE OTHER STOPPED CAR.

PURCHASED A NEW 2010 COROLLA 4-DOOR SEDAN S; IMMEDIATELY A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES AND STEERING WAS NOTICED UPON FIRST LONG DRIVE. WHEN DEPRESSED THE BRAKES WOULD GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. STEERING THE CAR IN A STRAIGHT LINE DOWN THE FREEWAY WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT CONSTANT CORRECTIONS, I CALL IT NERVOUS STEERING, WHICH AFTER MORE THAN 50 MILES BECAUSE VERY STRESSFUL AND TIRING. PURCHASE DATE 8-22-09. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE NEAREST TOYOTA DEALERSHIP LOCATED IN VICTORVILLE, CALIFORNIA EARLY SEPT 09. THE BRAKES WERE EXAMINED AND AFTER CERTAIN CORRECTIONS THE BRAKE PEDAL IS BETTER BUT NOT PERFECT. AS FOR THE STEERING..THE TECHNICIAN SAYS IT'S WITHIN NORMAL PARAMETERS...WHAT EVERY THAT MEANS. THERE IS DEFINITELY A DEFECT WITH THE STEERING SYSTEM; AFTER REVIEWING THE VEHICLE BROCHURE REGARDING THE STEERING SYSTEM IT READS "ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) HELPS GIVES COROLLA STEERING RESPONSE THAT'S EFFORTLESSLY ACCURATE" HOWEVER NOTHING COULD MORE FROM THE TRUTH. IT'S BEEN MY EXPERIENCE AFTER 7000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER...THAT WHEN STEERING THE CAR DOWN THE HIGHWAY...THE CAR WILL LITERALLY LEAVE THE LANE YOUR DRIVING IN WHICH REQUIRES STEERING CORRECTION TO KEEP IT IN THE DRIVING LANE YOU'RE TRAVELING. THE BROCHURE FURTHER READS THAT "EPS ALSO ELIMINATES HYDRAULIC-ASSIST COMPONENTS THAT CAN REDUCE FUEL ECONOMY" HOWEVER I WOULD SAY AT WHAT COST...IF THIS NEW SYSTEM RENDERS THE STEERING PROCESS A VERY NERVOUS AND TIRING EXPERIENCE FOR THE DRIVER. A FATIGUED DRIVER IS AN UNSAFE DRIVER...I CREDIT THE FAULT WITH THIS NEW SYSTEM "EPS" AS A POTENTIAL DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN. IT'S MY ASSESSMENT AFTER OWNING THIS VEHICLE NOW 6 MONTHS...THAT TOYOTA NEEDS TO REVISIT THIS "EPS" SYSTEM AND CONSIDER RETURNING TO THE FORMER HYDRAULIC-ASSIST COMPONENTS...IT MAY MORE COSTLY FOR THEM TO BUILD...BUT AT LEAST IT WORKED. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE IT HAD A REPUTATION FOR SAFETY AND RELIABILITY HOWEVER IT'S BEEN THE ABSOLUTE WORST PURCHASE EVER IMAGINED. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA FOR MY AWAY-FROM-HOME COLLEGE-STUDENT DAUGHTER. WE WERE AWARE OF THE FLOORMAT PROBLEM WHEN WE BOUGHT THE CAR AND TOOK DELIVERY ON OCTOBER 28, 2009. THE ACCELERATOR ISSUE BECAME KNOWN IN JANUARY, 2010. THE POWER STEERING ISSUE JUST BECAME PUBLIC THIS WEEK. I DROVE THE CAR FOR TWO WEEKS AFTER TAKING DELIVERY TO CHECK IT OUT FOR ANY MANUFACTURING DEFECTS AND TO BREAK IT IN. I DID NOT NOTICE ANY UNUSUAL BEHAVIORS FOR ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS WHILE DRIVING AROUND TOWN DURING THIS BREAK-IN PERIOD. HOWEVER, I DID NOTICE WHEN I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE DELIVERING THE CAR TO MY DAUGHTER THAT THE ELECTRICALLY-ASSISTED POWER STEERING HAD AN UNUSUAL VAGUENESS TO IT. THE CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS BEING BUFFETED BY HIGH WIND OR TURBULENCE FROM FOLLOWING A TRACTOR-TRAILER TOO CLOSELY, EVEN THOUGH THE WIND WAS CALM AND THERE WERE NO TRUCKS WITHIN ONE MILE OF ME. AS I MADE VERY MINOR COURSE CORRECTIONS AS THE ROAD CURVED OR TO CHANGE LANES, IT FELT LIKE THE STEERING WAS BEING OVER-BOOSTED, WHICH CAUSED A BIGGER PATH CORRECTION THAN INTENDED OR EXPECTED. THEN I GOT A SIMILAR REACTION IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION WHEN I TRIED TO CORRECT THE OVER-CORRECTION. I THINK IT WOULD BE FAIR TO SAY THAT THE STEERING WHEEL FELT AS IF IT WAS CONNECTED TO THE FRONT WHEELS WITH A ROPE. THE CAR HAS GOODYEAR EAGLE RS-A TIRES; I HAVE HAD SEVERAL SETS OF THESE TIRES OF DIFFERENT SIZES IN THE PAST, AND DON'T BELIEVE THEY ARE A PROBLEM. I HAVE DRIVEN OTHER VEHICLES WITH ELECTRICALLY-BOOSTED POWER STEERING AND AND I DON'T RECALL SUCH BEHAVIOR. INDEED, I HAVE A CLASS B CDL TO DRIVE MOTORCOACHES AND THE OLDER ONES WITH OVER 1/2 MILLION MILES ON THEM HAVE MORE DIRECT STEERING. THIS SITUATION HAS NOT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT; I JUST WANT TO WEIGH IN ON THE POTENTIAL PROBLEM. I HAVE OFFERED MY DAUGHTER ANOTHER CAR TO DRIVE, BUT SHE INSISTS ON DRIVING THE COROLLA. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S ON OCT. 22, 2009. AT BITTERROOT MOTORS IN MISSOULA, MONTANA. THE DAY AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR I DROVE IT TO OVANDO, MONTANA, NORTH OF MISSOULA, ON A TRYOUT ROAD TRIP. I NOTICED THAT IT WAS FLIGHTY ON THE ROAD AND SEEMED TO WAVER WITHOUT REASON (NO WIND, NO SEMI TRUCKS, WIND SHEAR, RAIN, ETC). BEING A NEW CAR TO ME, I PASSED IT OFF AS THE NATURE OF A LIGHTER AND SMALLER VEHICLE THAN WHAT I WAS ACCUSTOMED TO DRIVING (MY OTHER VEHICLE IS A 2004 FORD F150). SINCE THAT TIME, I HAVE CONTINUALLY EXPERIENCED THIS WITH NO EXTERNAL EXPLANATION (IE: WEATHER, ROAD CONDITIONS, ETC). THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO HAPPEN AT SPEEDS OF 50 MPH AND OVER AND IT IS A CONSISTENT ISSUE. I COMMUTE REGULARLY BETWEEN STEVENSVILLE, MT., AND MISSOULA, MT., FOR WORK (28 MILES ONE WAY), AND I OFTEN FIND THAT THE CAR WILL DRIFT LEFT OR RIGHT WHEN I AM AT A STEADY SPEED. THIS IS IN ADDITION TO THE FACT THAT MY VEHICLE IS ON THE LIST OF RECALLS FOR THE RECENT ACCELERATOR ISSUE. I NEED TO ADD HERE THAT THE SECOND DAY AFTER BUYING THE CAR, I WAS GETTING FUEL AND AS I TURNED FROM THE PUMP TO RE-ENTER THE CAR, "POP!!" AND THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW TOTALLY SHATTERED. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALER AT BITTERROOT MOTORS AND DROVE IT TO THEIR SERVICE DEPT TO GET IT FIXED. THEY REPLACED THE WINDOW UNDER WARRANTY, AND TOLD ME THEY SUSPECTED IT WAS A PREEXISTING STRESS FRACTURE IN THE GLASS THAT FINALLY GAVE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BASED ON SAFETY RATINGS, CONSUMER REPORTS RATINGS, AND TO GET BETTER GAS MILEAGE ON MY NECESSARY TRIPS TO AND FROM WORK. IT ISN'T HARD TO UNDERSTAND THE STRESS OF THIS SITUATION, NOT TO MENTION ECONOMIC HARDSHIP. I PAID FOR THE CAR OUTRIGHT ($18,075) AND IT PHYSICALLY SICKENS ME TO THINK THAT SUCH SERIOUS ISSUES EXIST. I HAVEN'T EVEN OWNED IT 5 MONTHS! AT THIS POINT I AM FEARFUL OF EVEN DRIVING THE CAR. IF THE WORLD WORKED IN GOOD WAYS, TOYOTA WOULD REPLACE THIS VEHICLE COMPLETELY, AND PREFERABLY WITH SOMETHING OTHER THAN ANOTHER TOYOTA. *TR

FEB. 15, 2010 TO: NATIONAL HIGHWAY SAFETY ADMINISTRATION RE.: DEFECT IN TOYOTA COROLLA I RECENTLY REPORTED TO BOTH MY LOCAL TOYOTAL DEALERSHIP AND TO TOYOTA MOTOR SALES USA (NATIONAL CUSTOMER RELATIONS, 9001 SOUTHWESTERN AVE, DEPT. WC11; TORRANCE, CA 90509) THAT THE PLAY ON THE TRUNK LID ON OUR 2010 COROLLA WAS SO LOOSE THAT EVEN THOUGH THE TRUNK LID WOULD BE PUSHED ALL THE WAY UP, A SUDDEN GUST OF WIND WOULD SEND IT FLYING DOWN ON WHOEVER WAS LOADING ITEMS INTO THE TRUNK. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO MY WIFE. ON ONE OCCASION THE LID CAME DOWN ON MY WIFE'S HEAD AND AGAIN ON HER ARM ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED PHOTO SHOWING THE EFFECT OF THE LID BEING BLOWN DOWN ON HER ARM. THE DEALER AGREED THAT COMPARED TO THE TRUNK LID ON MY CAMRY, THE LID ON THE COROLLA DID INDEED SWING TOO FREELY AND THAT THE CAUSE WAS A DESIGN FLAW AS THE LID WAS FUNCTIONING WITHIN THE MANUFACTURER'S SPECIFICATIONS . THE DEALER SUGGESTED THAT I CONTACT TOYOTA. I DID THAT, EXPLAINED THE SITUATION, AND WAS ASSIGNED CASE. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE REGARDING THIS DESIGN FLAW. PERHAPS YOU CAN CONVINCE TOYOTA TO REDUCE THE "PLAY" ON THE TRUNK LID SO THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY USE THE TRUNK OF THE CAR WITHOUT EXPERIENCING INJURY. *TR

TOYOTA OF KINGSPORT 2525 EAST STONE DRIVE KINGSPORT, TN 37660 ON NOVEMBER 27, 2009, I PURCHASED A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA, FROM A 3RD PARTY FOR MY EX-WIFE OF GATE CITY, VIRGINIA. DURING THE TEST DRIVE, THE 3RD PARTY AND I DISCUSSED THE ACCELERATOR PROBLEM THAT WAS BEING REPORTED IN THE NEWS AND ON MANY INTERNET WEBSITES. HE ASSURED ME THAT THERE WAS NOT A PROBLEM. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE COROLLA HAD NEVER IN ITS ENTIRE HISTORY BEEN THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL. I LATER FOUND OUT THIS TO BE UNTRUE. THERE IS ALSO A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING ON THIS CAR. IT WANDERS AT HIGHER SPEEDS AND WILL NOT HOLD A STRAIGHT LINE. THIS IS A SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS DEFECT, ESPECIALLY FOR A 60-YEAR OLD WOMAN. YOU CANNOT TAKE YOUR EYE OFF THE ROAD EVEN FOR A SPLIT SECOND OR YOU MAY FIND YOURSELF IN THE NEXT LANE OR RUNNING OFF THE ROAD. THIS IS HIGHLY UNACCEPTABLE. ACCORDING TO THE NEWS, THIS STEERING DEFECT HAS BEEN REPORTED TO TOYOTA ON MANY OCCASIONS. MY EX WIFE IS ON DISABILITY. SHE HAD MAJOR HEART SURGERY IN FEBRUARY, 2009. SHE HAD TWO HEART VALVES REPLACED, TWO HEART ARTERY BY-PASSES AND HAD TO HAVE A GRAFT ON HER HEART AORTA. SHE HAS MANY OTHER DISABILITIES TO DEAL WITH. THIS WAS HER FIRST NEW CAR IN 13 YEARS. SHE PREVIOUSLY DROVE A TOYOTA TERCEL FOR 13 YEARS - A GOOD CAR. TOGETHER, WE HAVE OWNED A CAMRY, TERCEL, TUNDRA, TACOMA AND NOW THIS COROLLA. BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THIS WILL BE THE LAST TOYOTA I WILL EVER BUY. TOYOTA HAS KNOW ABOUT THESE DEFECTS BUT STILL CONTINUED TO SELL THEM TO THE PUBLIC. THE WORD THAT COMES TO MIND IS FRAUD. I AM AT A LOSS AS WHAT TO DO. I AM ALSO ON DISABILITY AND CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THIS CAR FOR HER AND I WORRY EACH DAY THAT SHE HAS TO DRIVE THIS CAR. PLEASE RESPOND IN WRITING HOW YOU PLAN TO ADDRESS THIS SITUATION. AS EACH DAY PASSES, THE CHANCE OF HER BEING INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT GROWS GREATER. YOU WILL RECEIVE A COPY OF THIS LETTER BY CERTIFIED MAIL. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA LAST FALL BUT HAVE DRIVEN IT VERY LITTLE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CAR TO DRIVE. WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE STEERING REQUIRES CONSTANT CORRECTION. IT SEEMS TO CONTINUOUSLY DRIFT RIGHT OR LEFT AND IS VERY EXHAUSTING. I MENTIONED IT TO THE SERVICE MGR. AND HE SAID DECREASING THE TIRE PRESSURE A LITTLE MAY HELP. IT DID NOT. TOYOTA SHOULD RECOGNIZE THAT THIS IS A REAL AND SERIOUS PROBLEM AND ADDRESS IT BEFORE THERE REPUTATION IS FURTHER DAMAGED. *TR

STEERING,AIR BAGS,EQUIPMENT
1 complaint
I WAS MAKING A ROUTINE TURN AND LOST CONTROL OF STEERING. IT ONLY HAPPENED THE ONE TIME, POLICE REPORT SAID CAR ROLLED TWO OR THREE TIMES, TOTAL LOSS TO CAR AND INJURY TO DRIVER. I DON'T REMEMBER EXACTLY THE CAUSE OTHER THAN I LOST CONTROL. CAN'T SAY ANY OF THE RECALLS DID OR DID NOT CAUSE THE ACCIDENT. MY PRIMARY COMPLAINT IS THAT I PAID FOR FRONT AND SIDE AIRBAGS, AND NONE DEPLOYED ON A CAR THAT ROLLED TWO OR THREE TIMES. WHY AM I PAYING FOR EQUIPMENT THAT IS NOT EFFECTIVE? IF A CAR ROLLS OVER AT MINIMUM THE SIDE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. I WOULD ALSO THINK THIS WOULD TRIGGER THE OTHER AIR BAGS. WITH ALL THE RECALLS HOW WOULD WE KNOW IF ANY OF THESE CONTRIBUTED TO THE CRASH? I UNDERSTAND THE ROLLOVER RATING APPLIES TO THE STABILITY OF THE CAR, BUT RATING THE SAFETY IN A ROLLOVER ACCIDENT SHOULD ALSO BE RATED. WHY DON'T AIR BAGS DEPLOY AUTOMATICALLY WHEN CAR HITS SIDES OR THE ROOF? WE PAID FOR SAFETY AND RELIABILITY OF THE TOYOTA, BUT IT APPEARS THAT THE EXTRA MONEY IS WASTED. *TR

FOR ENTIRE TIME OWNED - THERE IS A GAP OF SECONDS BETWEEN PRESSING GAS PEDAL AND ACTUAL ACCELERATION. WHEN I PRESS GAS PEDAL THERE IS A HESITATION LEADING ME TO PRESS HARDER. THEN OF COURSE THE CAR HAS A SUDDEN SPRINT IN ACCELERATION. THIS IS NOT SAFE. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 5.5 MONTHS SO I AM GETTING BETTER AT WAITING INSTEAD OF PRESSING HARDER. BUT I FEEL THIS IS DEFINITELY A DEFECT. I INQUIRED OVER PHONE WITH SERVICE MANAGER WHERE I PURCHASED - EXPLANATION: I AM NOT USE TO A 4 CYLINDER, WHICH I BELIEVED BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER DRIVEN A 4 CYLINDER. BUT, I AM BEGINNING NOT TO BELIEVE THIS EXCUSE. *TW
