after fixing airbag with recalls before, i was forced to adjust airbag again. TOYOTA NEEDS ANOTHER RECALL. $1000 OU TOF POCKET
Oct 10, 2023
Airbag needed to be replaced....again. This vehicle has had many recalls before, but now I am forced to pay for an additional replacement. Airbags are supposed to last the lifetime of the vehicle. Toyota not covering this $1000 expense is ridiculous and unsafe.

I WAS IN 3RD OR 4TH GEAR (NOT SURE AS I AM WRITING THIS HOURS LATER) AND DRIVING AT CONSTANT SPEED (AROUND 35 MPH) WHEN THE CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. IT FELT AS THOUGH I WAS DRIVING WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL AND HIT THE UP LEVER TO ACCELERATE. THE PEDAL FELL AWAY FROM MY FOOT AND I IMMEDIATELY PUT IN THE CLUTCH. AT THAT POINT THE RPMS SHOT UP TO OVER 6000 AND THE ENGINE RACED WILDLY. I MOVED THE SHIFTER OUT OF GEAR (WITH CLUTCH STILL IN) AND COASTED ALONG FOR WHAT WAS PROBABLY 30-60 SECONDS. AT THAT POINT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL POPPED UP AND THE WHOLE EVENT WAS OVER. I STOPPED FOR GROCERIES AND LOOKED AT THE PEDAL AND FLOOR MAT. I COULD SEE NO OBSTRUCTION AND THE MAT SEEMED TO BE WHERE IT HAD BEEN FOR WEEKS. CONTINUING ON MY WAY HOME I WAS DRIVING ON LEVEL ROAD AT ABOUT 30-35 MPH. THERE WAS A CAR MERGING IN AND I SPED UP TO GET IN FRONT OF THEM WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. AGAIN I POPPED THE CLUTCH, RPMS SHOT UP, ENGINE RACING. THIS TIME I PRIED AT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WITH MY FOOT AND IT POPPED UP. THE EVENT WAS OVER IN AROUND 30 SECONDS. *TR

There was a paint recall for my car that expired in 2022. My car’s paint didn’t start peeling until 2023 and I wasn’t informed of the recall. I found out through a Reddit post. The paint peeling is not my fault and I should not have to pay for it.
Aug 02, 2024
Paint it's peeling of on randomly spots that it should not have peeling I called toyota recall center and there is nothing they can do since there are no recalls for this models on paint

Jun 14, 2017
I FOUND A CRACK ON MY CAR'S WINDSHIELD GLASS. I AM SURE THAT IT HAPPENED BECAUSE OF TEMPERATURE VARIATION. NOTHING WRONG HAPPENED TO MY CAR LIKE NO ONE HIT ANYTHING OR SOMETHING FELL ON THE CAR. I THINK MANUFACTURER SHOULD CONSIDER THE TEMPERATURE VARIATIONS IN THEIR MIND WHEN THEY ARE DESIGNING ANY PARTS OF THE CAR. IN ALL MODELS LIKE ME HAS A GAP BETWEEN WINDSHIELD AND BODY OF THE CAR. IF THAT GAP IS FILLED WITH ICE IT WOULD NOT ALLOW GLASS TO EXPAND WHEN TEMPERATURE GOES UP. COMPANY SHOULD FIX THAT GAP IN ALL OF ITS MODELS AND PROVIDE NEW GLASS TO EVERYONE WHO HAS A CRACK. IF CONSUMERS HAVE FIXED ALREADY MANUFACTURER SHOULD PAY FOR THAT. *TR

I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE I COULD NOT STOP COMING DOWN A HILL (IT WAS SNOWING IN MASSACHUSETTS) AND I WAS HIT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE (I WAS DRIVING) IN FRONT OF THE TIRE DAMAGING EVERYTHING IN FRONT OF THE FRONT TIRES. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND I WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC WHO ASSESSED THE DAMAGE THAT THEY 100% SHOULD'VE DEPLOYED. I SUFFERED A CONCUSSION TO THE HEAD AND NECK, SHOULDER, BACK AND LEFT LEG SPASMS. I WAS DIAGNOSED AT THE HOSPITAL THE DAY AFTER THE ACCIDENT. *TR

I got a car accident on Oct 30,2024. The air bag didn't deployed and my head has been injured.
Dec 09, 2024
I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR A RECALL REPAIR AND IT WAS RETURNED DAMAGED WITH A PIECE HANGING OUT. THE DEALER ADMITTED THAT THEY KNEW THERE WAS DAMAGE AND OPTED NOT TO TELL ME. I CALLED CORPORATE TOYOTA AND TOLD THEM I WAS CONCERNED THE CAR WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT COMPLETED PROPERLY AND WAS ADVISED I WOULD NEED TO PAY TO HAVE IT INSPECTED BY ANOTHER DEALER AND HAVE THE RECALL PROPERLY REPAIRED, OR I CAN TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER THAT DID NOT INITIALLY PERFORM THE REPAIR CORRECTLY. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE THAT THE CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE SINCE THE VISIBLE COMPONENTS WERE NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY. THE DEALER I WENT TO HAS PROVEN INCAPABLE OF PROPERLY PERFORMING THIS REPAIR. IN SUMMARY, THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT PROPERLY PERFORMED AND CORPORATE TOYOTA ADVISED THAT I WOULD NEED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR IF I TAKE IT TO A REPUTABLE DEALER. *TR

I WAS INVOLVED IN ACCIDENT WHERE I WAS T-BONED ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND PUSHED FROM THE TRAFFIC LANE ONTO SIDEWALK INTO TELEGRAM POLE. THE IMPACT WAS SO FORCEFUL THAT THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW EXPLODED BUT WAS HELD TOGETHER DUE TO TINE ON WINDOW. OUTSIDE MIRROR SHATTERED AND GLASS CAME INTO CAR. I HAD SEAT BELT ON BUT SOMEHOW MANAGED TO BUMP MY HEAD ON THE WINDSHIELD WHICH WAS CRACKED. SUFFERED A MILD CONCUSSION FROM CT SCAN. SO FROM THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE, BUMPER AND PASSENGER SIDE RECEIVED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE WHICH MADE THE CAR UNDRIVABLE. DURING THE COURSE OF THE FORCEFUL HIT AND BEING PUSHED ONTO THE SIDEWALK INTO THE TELEGRAM POLE, NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. IN THIS VEHICLE THERE ARE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS WHICH I FEEL SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED DUE TO THE IMPACT OF THE OTHER VEHICLE (1998 DURANGO). WOULD LIKE SOME RESEARCH DONE BEFORE I TAKE FURTHER CIVIL ACTION IN REGARDS TO THE DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS. THE CAR HAS BEEN TOTALED DUE TO THE EXTENSIVE DAMAGE AND THE BENDING OF THE FRAME ON THE CAR. *TR

1. WHILE DRIVING WITH AC ON WATER WAS LEAKING DOWN INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE CARPET. DEALER CHECKED AND FOUND THAT THE A/C DRAIN HOSE WAS CLOGGED. THIS HAPPENED ON JULY 10TH. 2013. DEALER DID NOT CHARGE FOR CLEANING CLOGGED DRAIN. 2. ON JULY 8TH 2015, THE SAME CONDITION OCCURRED AND TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER. DEALER DIAGNOSED A/C DRAIN CLOGGED AND CAUSED WATER TO BACK UP INTO THE OXYGEN SENSOR CAUSING THE "CHECK ENGINE " AND "TRAC OFF" LIGHTS TO COME ON. DEALER NOW CHARGED $252.59 AND STATED THAT THIS IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME AND IT IS AFFECTING THE ENGINE. I NEED TO HAVE THIS SITUATION FIXED BEFORE IT OCCURRS AGAIN AND CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR DEATH TO OCCUPANT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

THE HORN STOPPED WORKING. TOYOTA VERIFIED IT IS THE ELECTRICAL BEHIND THE DASHBOARD, WHICH WILL COST $475.00 TO REPAIR. I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 89 WHEN THE CAR I WAS PASSING STARTED VEERING INTO MY LANE. I WENT TO USE MY HORN AND IT DID NOT WORK! VERY SCARY SITUATION.
Sep 21, 2020
HORN ONLY WORKS WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT AND WON'T WORK WHEN THE WHEEL IS STRAIGHT. NO MATTER IF THE CAR IS MOVING OR NOT THE PROBLEM IS FIXED BY REPLACING THE CLOCK SPRING, A LOT OF PEOPLE HAD THIS ISSUE IN COROLLA (2010 -2012)
Oct 16, 2019
IGNITION KEY GETS EXTREMELY HOT DURING NORMAL OPERATION IN NORMAL CONDITIONS AND NORMAL EXTERNAL TEMPERATURES. THE KEY GETS TOO HOT TO REMOVE FROM THE IGNITION AFTER SEVERAL HOURS OF DRIVING BETWEEN VA AND FL OR FL AND VA. ISSUE HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN VA AND MD/DC OR WITHIN VA N TO S. KEY GETS SO HOT THE ONLY WAY TO REMOVE FROM THE IGNITION IS WITH THE KEY RING. ISSUE HAPPENS ON BOTH KEYS. ISSUE HAPPENS ALL YEAR ROUND AND WORSE IN SUMMER MONTHS.
Nov 30, 2018
HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS OR SO. THE ELECTRONIC LOCKS ON BOTH FRONT DOORS ONLY WORK SPORADICALLY. THEIR ISSUES STARTED HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME. OPERATING THE LOCKS MANUALLY IS FINE. IT'S THE ELECTRONIC CONTROLS THAT OFTEN DON'T WORK, WHETHER BY KEYCHAIN OR CONTROLS ON THE DOOR. THE REAR DOORS WORK AS EXPECTED MOST OF THE TIME. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT, FIGURING THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CONSIDERING BOTH FAILED AT ONCE. THEY MENTIONED THAT THE REAR ACTUATORS ARE FINE, BUT DUE TO THE WAY THEY ARE WIRED WITH THEIR FRONT COUNTERPARTS, OCCASIONALLY THE FAULTY FRONT ONES WILL BLOCK ENOUGH VOLTAGE FROM REACHING THE THE REAR ONES. FOR $113, THEY DETERMINED THAT THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS NEED REPLACING, FOR $1,100+, WITH THE FOLLOWING PART NUMBERS: #69040-0C050 - DRIVERS DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR #69030-0C050 - PASSENGER DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR I DECLINED TO HAVE IT FIXED, AS IT SEEMS TO WORK MANUALLY FOR NOW. IT'S ODD TO ME THAT BOTH PARTS FAILED AT THE SAME TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THE WINDSHIELD STARTED TO CRACK ACROSS FROM THE PASSENGER'S SIDE TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. TOYOTA OF LINCOLNWOOD LOCATED AT (7225 N. CICERO AVE, LINCOLNWOOD, IL 60712) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.
Mar 03, 2020
I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE IS A VERY STRONG WAVE EFFECT ON THE FRONT AND REAR WINDSHIELD THAT COVERS THE LENGTH OF THE GLASS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM AND A SERIES OF WAVES OF VARIABLE WIDTH THAT COVER THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD. IT SEEMS AS IF THE THICKNESS OF THE GLASS VARIES. THE OBJECTS CHANGE SHAPE WHILE DRIVING. IT BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE TO OBSERVE THE APPROACHING TRAFFIC AND DISTANCES. WHEN YOU TRY TO TURN IT IS VERY DIFFICULT. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONCENTRATE ON THE ROAD DUE TO THE DISTORTION PRESENT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE EFFECT IS SIMILAR TO LOOKING THROUGH GLASSES THAT HAVE THE WRONG RECIPE, OR WEARING TOO STRONG READING GLASSES. I AM WORRIED ABOUT HAVING AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS SITUATION. DRIVING THE CAR CAUSES MIGRAINES AND HEADACHES.

KINDLY, MY CAR IS TOYOTA COROLLA 2012, I PURCHASED IT FROM SAUDI ARABIA, AND THEN I EXPORTED IT TO MY MOTHER COUNTRY ( EGYPT ). IT IS MANUFACTURED TO ARAB GULF SPECIFICATIONS AND I AM THE FIRST OWNER, I AM WRITING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT MY CAR DASHBOARD. THREE MONTHS AGO, I FOUND THAT THE DASHBOARD BEGAN TO MELT AND BECAME STICKY BY THE HEAT OF THE SUN, IN ADDITION TO; IT CREATES AN UNSAFE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING. AFTER SEARCHING FOR A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM, I FOUND THAT MANY COSTUMERS HAVE FACED THE SAME PROBLEM AND WAS SOLVED BY TOYOTA CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN EGYPT "TOYOTA EGYPT" REFUSED TO REPLACE THE MELTING DASHBOARD WITH A NEW ONE BECAUSE MY CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, BUT REGARDLESS OF MY CAR'S AGE, IS THE DASHBOARD SUPPOSED TO MELT ! THEREFORE, I WANT TO KNOW YOUR RESPONSE REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. KNOWING THAT, I DO NOT EVER PUT ANY MATERIALS ON THE DASHBOARD. PLEASE FIND THE ATTACHED PHOTOS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND UNDERSTANDING

TAKATA RECALL PROBLEMS I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS. TO TRY A SCHEDULE THE REPLACEMENTS WITH NO LUCK.

MY COMPLAINT CONCERNS THE DRIVER'S SEAT IN MY BRAND NEW 2012 COROLLA,PURCHASED ON 06/23/12. AFTER MORE THAN 9 YEARS OF BEING THE HAPPY OWNER OF A 2003 TOYOTA COROLLA, I DID NOT HESITATE TO TRADE IT IN FOR A NEW AND MUCH NICER MODEL. I HAD NO IDEA IT WOULD TURN INTO A NIGHTMARE. AS IT TURNS OUT THE DRIVER'S SEAT IS SO HARD AND UNCOMFORTABLE IT HAS RESULTED IN MY DISCOVERING A SCIATICA NERVE I DIDN'T KNOW EXISTED AND THE MISALIGNMENT OF MY BACK TO THE POINT WHERE I AM NOW BEING TREATED BY A CHIROPRACTOR. I WENT BACK TO TOYOTA INITIALLY, BUT WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE CAR AND THE SEAT WAS NOT CONSIDERED DEFECTIVE. IT WAS RECOMMEND I GO TO A PLACE THAT COULD REUPHOLSTERED THE SEAT BY POSSIBLY ADJUSTING THE PADDING. I DID. IT HELPED SOME, BUT NOT ENOUGH. I WENT BACK TO TOYOTA DETERMINED TO EXCHANGE THE CAR, BUT TO NO AVAIL SINCE THE DEAL I WAS OFFERED WAS WAY OVER MY BUDGET. I HAVE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT PENDING WITH THE UPHOLSTER AND IN THE MEAN TIME I'M MAINTAINING BY SEEING THE CHIROPRACTOR AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. I'M IN CONSTANT PAIN AND HAVE TRIED EVERY KIND OF SEAT PADDING I COULD THINK OF, BUT NOTHING HAS WORKED. IT'S LIKE A BAD PAIR OF SHOES THAT INSTANTLY HURT WHEN YOU PUT THEM ON. UNFORTUNATELY, ONE CAN'T JUST THROW A CAR OUT AND GET A NEW ONE THAT FITS BETTER. I'M WORKING TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. IT'S BEEN DIFFICULT BECAUSE I WORK MON.-FRI AND CAN'T TAKE TIME OFF TO DEAL WITH THIS MATTER. WEEKENDS AREN'T MUCH HELP SINCE THE UPHOLSTER ALSO ONLY WORKS MON.-FRI. FOR THE RECORD: I DROVE TO CA RIGHT AFTER BUYING IT WHERE I PARKED IT FOR 3 WEEKS AT MY MOTHER'S HOUSE. SHE WAS RECOVERING FROM AN ACCIDENT AND I WAS THERE TO TAKE CARE OF HER. WE DID NOT GO OUT. IT WAS AFTER THE 5 HOUR DRIVE AND A FEW DAYS LATER THAT I STARTED FEELING PAIN AND IT TOOK ME A WHILE BEFORE I REALIZED AND BECAME COMPLETELY AWARE THAT IT WAS THE CAR CAUSING THE PAIN. *TR

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN THERE IS ANY KIND OF WIND (EG. HEAD WIND, CROSS WIND, TAIL WIND), THE VEHICLE IS ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE AND CHANGES DIRECTION WITHOUT DRIVER INPUT. ***VERY DANGEROUS***. NOTIFIED DEALER AT 5K SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS TOO MUCH AIR PRESSURE IN TIRES. THE CHANGE OF AIR PRESSURE BY THE DEALER MADE NO DIFFERENCE, AND I HAVE EXPERIMENTED WITH HIGHER, LOWER, AND 35 PSI IN ALL FOUR TIRES. WITHOUT WINDS, THE CAR DRIVES ABSOLUTELY STRAIGHT AND STABLE ON THE SAME ROADS THAT I DRIVE DAILY. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE AND DON'T BELIEVE I WILL KEEP THIS OTHERWISE NICE CAR FOR VERY LONG. *TR

APPROXIMATELY 10 WORKING DAYS HAVE PAST AFTER ARBITRATION OF THE EPS(ELECTRIC POWER STEERING) OF MY 2012 TOYOTA COROLLA S IN WHICH TODAY IN THE MAIL CAME THE DENIAL. I ENTERED INTO A CLAIM TO HAVE DON MCGILL TOYOTA OF HOUSTON PURCHASE THIS CAR BACK. PLEASE EVERYONE, THE EPS SYSTEM IS NOT A COMPONENT YOU HAVE TO ADJUST YOUR LEVEL OF DRIVING EXPERIENCE TO SUIT THEIRS. THE EPS IS UNSAFE AND WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, IT'S A SHAME THAT A DEATH OR BLOODSHED IS THE ONLY MEANS BY WHICH TOYOTA WILL OPEN THEIR EYES! SADLY THOUGH IT IS OFTEN HOW THE CONSUMER AT THE END OF THE DAY HAS HIS VOICE HEARD.. THE STEERING SYSTEM ON THIS VEHICLE CAN BE DOWN RIGHT DANGEROUS! YOU ARE FOOLISH TO BUY THIS CAR AND THIS IS MY LESSON LEARNED. HEED THIS WARNING FOR ANYONE WANTING TO PURCHASE THIS AUTOMOBILE. I AM NO LONGER A LOYAL TOYOTA CUSTOMER AND THE CARE AT WHICH THOSE THAT REPRESENT THE AUTOMAKER AFFORD THEIR CUSTOMERS. I LOOK FORWARD TO THE DAY I CAN RID MY HANDS OF THIS POTENTIALLY LETHAL AUTOMOBILE WITH IT'S UNCONTROLLABLE STEERING SYSTEM. *TR

THE COMPONENT/SYSTEM IS KNOWN IN THE INDUSTRY AS ELECTRIC POWER STERRING(EPS). I PURCHASED MY NEW COROLLA S ON 26 MARCH 2012. I TRADED IN MY 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA BASE THAT DID NOT HAVE EPS. MY COROLLA S WAS ORDERED AND I WAITED APPROX 2 MONTHS BEFORE IT ARRIVED. I DID NOT TEST DRIVE THE 2012 MODEL(I TRUSTED THE MODEL) AND HAVE NEVER DRIVEN A CAR WITH EPS TO MY KNOWLEDGE. SINCE I AM A PRIOR OWNER OF A COROLLA I CAN WRITE THIS WITH VERY GOOD CREDIBILITY. I STARTED NOTICING THIS OVER STEERAGE AS I BEGAN TO DRIVE THE CAR AT LENGTH AND DISTANCE AND SPEEDS UP TO AND OVER THE LIMITS HERE IN TEXAS. THIS INCLUDES MY WIFE AS WELL. HERE ON THIS FORM I HAVE ENTERED TWO DATES BUT THIS HAS BEEN FROM DAY 1. AT HIGHER SPEEDS IT IS MUCH MORE EVIDENT, AT LOWER SPEEDS NOT AS NOTICEABLE BUT NOW MY MIND IS TELLING ME TO BE CAREFUL. THE SPEED I LISTED HERE ON THIS FORM IS ONLY AN EXAMPLE I REALLY WANTED TO JUST ENTER ALL IF I COULD. I GET THE FEELING I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE STEERING SYSTEM. IT'S FAR TOO SENSITIVE. I FEEL I HAVE TO HOLD LESS THE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP FROM COMPENSATING FOR ANY SLIGHT DEVIATION AS THE SYSTEM REALLY DOES WHAT IT'S SEEMS TO DO ON IT'S OWN. THIS IS DISTURBING AND QUITE DANGEROUS! I DELIVERED MY CAR 04 MAY TO THE SERVICE DEPT. TO SEE IF THEY COULD FIX THE PROBLEM. YESTERDAY 05 MAY ON A STRETCH OF OPEN HIGHWAY I EXCEEDED THE TEXAS POSTED SPEED LIMIT TO SEE WHAT EFFECTS WOULD TAKE PLACE. THIS OVERAGE GETS AMPLIFIED! THIS MAY CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT! I FEEL I HAVE TO RELEARN HOW TO STEER A CAR, IS THIS POSSIBLE? PLEASE ACT ON THIS NOW! *TR

MY 2012 TOYOTA COROLLA HAS ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRIC LOCKS. WHEN I TRY UNLOCKING MY VEHICLE USING THE KEYPAD OR THE ELECTRIC LOCKS WITHIN THE VEHICLE, IT SIMPLY DOES NOT WORK ON MY TWO FRONT DOORS DESPITE HAVING ELECTRIC LOCKS IN MY VEHICLE. MY RESEARCH OF OTHER CUSTOMERS' ISSUES ONLINE REVEAL SIMILAR ISSUES TO MINE. (SEE HTTPS://WWW.QUORA.COM/THE-ELECTRONIC-LOCK-UNLOCK-ON-THE-PASSENGER-DOOR-OF-MY-TOYOTA-COROLLA-HAS-CEASED-TO-OPERATE-AND-I-HAVE-TO-OPERATE-IT-MANUALLY-HOW-DO-I-FIX-IT-MYSELF; HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=UXH0ITV4_NC; HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=SJEFB1QUTVI; HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=CVB63KY1LM8.) I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY BECAUSE IF I GET IN AN ACCIDENT AND CANNOT UNLOCK THE DOORS BECAUSE OF THE FAULTY DOOR LOCKS, I COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED AND DIE. THIS SAME CONCERN EXTENDS TO MY PASSENGERS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN THAT NEEDS ADDRESSED, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE RECURRING AND CONSISTENT INSTANCES OF THIS ISSUE IN TOYOTA VEHICLES. I LOOK FORWARD TO COMMENTS REGARDING THE OVERALL SAFETY CONCERNS RELATING TO TOYOTA VEHICLES AND THEIR DOOR LOCK ISSUES. THANK YOU.

I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE PURCHASE. I USE THE AIR CONDITION. IF I AM DONE, I TURN THE AC OFF. AFTER USING THE AC, THERE IS A FOUL ODOR THAT ARISES. I HAVE TRIED TO OPEN UP THE VENTS. I HAVE CHECKED UNDERNEATH THE CAR. I HAVE OPENED THE FRONT WHERE IT LEADS TO THE CABIN FILTER. I HAVE CHANGED THE CABIN FILTER SEVERAL TIMES. THE ODOR STILL PERSISTS. THE ONLY THING THAT THE CAR DEALERS HAVE TOLD ME TO DO WAS TO RUN THE HEATER AFTER USING THE AC. IT IS REDUNDANT IF I HAVE TO RUN THE HEATER IN A HOT DAY.

I WAS DRIVING AROUND ONE DAY WITH MY WINDOWS DOWN, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT STARTED RAINING, I WENT TO ROLL MY WINDOWS UP AND SURPRISINGLY THEY DIDN'T WORK. NONE OF THEM. WHEN I GOT BACK TO MY HOUSE AND PARKED I TRIED TO SEE IF IT WAS A FUSE PROBLEM BUT NO SUCH LUCK. THE LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTONS WOULDN'T WORK EITHER. A FEW DAYS LATER I DROVE MY CAR AGAIN AND THE WINDOWS ROLLED UP ABOUT HALF WAY UNTIL THEY FROZE UP AND DIDN'T WORK ANY MORE. NOW, WHENEVER I'M DRIVING THEY SPONTANEOUSLY DECIDE TO WORK. I CAN'T PARK ANYWHERE FOR TOO LONG BECAUSE MY WINDOWS ARE STUCK ROLLED DOWN AND ANYONE COULD BREAK INTO MY CAR. BESIDES THAT ONE TIME IT RAINED I HAVE NEVER LET MY SIDE PANELS GET WET, THE WINDOWS MALFUNCTIONED BEFORE IT HAD RAINED. IN ADDITION TO THE WINDOWS, MY TRUNK ALSO DECIDED IT WASN'T GOING TO WORK. ORIGINALLY THE LATCH HAD GOTTEN STUCK AND I'M NOT SURE HOW LONG IT HAD BEEN THAT WAY BECAUSE I DON'T OFTEN USE MY TRUNK. BUT ONE DAY, PARKED AT SAFEWAY I TRIED TO POP THE TRUNK BUT IT WAS STUCK. FINALLY I GOT MY DAD TO HELP AND WE GOT IT OPEN. HOWEVER, NOW IT REFUSES TO STAY LOCKED. IT WILL STAY CLOSED UNTIL I GO OVER A BUMP AND THEN IT POPS OPEN AND IT'S REALLY DANGEROUS BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR. I HAVE TRIED LOCKING IT WITH THE KEY BUT THAT DOESN'T WORK EITHER. THIS WAS A NEW 2012 CAR SO I WAS CONFUSED AS TO HOW I SPENT $20,000 AND GOT A DEFECTIVE CAR! IT'S PRETTY EMBARRASSING TO DRIVE IT AROUND NOT TO MENTION IT'S NOT SAFE. I HAVE HAD A FEW OF MY MECHANIC FRIENDS LOOK AT IT HOPING WE COULD FIX THE PROBLEM BY REPLACING THE FUSE BUT IT JUST DIDN'T WORK.

I RENTED A CAR FROM PAYLESS CAR RENTAL AT THE ORLANDO AIRPORT. AFTER BEING ON THE ROAD FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES, THE CAR GOT A FLAT TIRE. WE PULLED OVER CHANGED THE TIRE AND TOOK IT TO WAL MART FOR REPAIR. THE MECHANIC AT WAL MART INFORMED US THE TIRE WAS UNREPAIRABLE. THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE AT INNER WALL DAMAGE THAT HE SAID COULDN'T HAVE BEEN DONE BY US. HE INFORMED US THAT THIS TIRE WAS DRIVEN ON FLAT MANY TIMES BEFORE. I HAVE PICTURES THAT SHOW THE INNER WALL DAMAGE AND IT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE THE TIRE WAS DRY ROTTED. PAYLESS INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX. I THEN RETURNED THE CAR TO THEIR COMPANY AND HAD TO PAY FOR ONE DAY WITH THE CAR. I HAD THE CAR FOR LESS THAN A DAY (APPROX. 5 HOURS). I AM MAKING A COMPLAINT BECAUSE THEY CLEARLY DO NOT INSPECT THEIR CARS BEFORE THEY ARE RENTED OUT TO PEOPLE. I AM SO LUCKY THAT NOTHING SERIOUS HAPPENED TO US BECAUSE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR PROBLEM IF SOMETHING HAD. THEY ARE A TERRIBLE COMPANY. I AM REQUESTING THAT YOU LOOK INTO HOW THEY INSPECT THEIR CARS BEFORE THEY ARE GIVEN OUT TO PEOPLE. I AM SURE I AM NOT THE FIRST PERSON OR THE LAST PERSON THAT WILL HAVE THIS HAPPEN TO THEM. HOW CAN A COMPANY RUN WHEN IT GIVES PAYING CUSTOMERS LEMON'S TO DRIVE. *TR

WHILE WAITING FOR THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TO CHANGE AND MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES, THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND DESPITE SHIFTING TO PARK AND PULLING ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE THE CAR CONTINUED TO REV VERY HIGH FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. JUST PRIOR TO ACCELERATION, THE CAR'S BRAKES BECAME VERY SOFT AND SUNK ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR OF THE CAR AS IF SOMEONE HAD DEPRESSED THE POWER IN THE BRAKE LINE. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND WAITED FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES AND RESTARTED THE CAR. THE ENGINE RACED AGAIN AT VERY HIGH SPEEDS WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON AND THE CAR SET AT "PARK." I TURNED THE CAR OFF AGAIN AND WAITED FIVE MINUTES. THE CAR STARTED NORMALLY AND I THEN CALLED MY WIFE TO PICK ME UP. SHE DROVE THE CAR BACK HOME AND NOTICED THE BRAKES WERE VERY MUSHY AND SHE FELT A SLIGHT ACCELERATION. WE TOOK IT TO OUR TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SINCE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND ASSERTED THAT I DEPRESSED BOTH THE BRAKE AND THE GAS PEDAL AT THE SAME TIME, WHICH IS UTTERLY RIDICULOUS. WE HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR 18 MONTHS AND NOTHING LIKE THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED. THERE WERE MORE THAN FIVE WITNESSES TO THIS AS I HAD BLOCKED TRAFFIC AT THE LIGHT'S INTERSECTION WHILE OTHER CARS WENT AROUND ME WHILE THE CAR WAS RACING. I HAVE FILED AN INCIDENT REPORT WITH TOYOTA BUT IT DOES NOT LOOK AS IF ANYTHING WILL BE DONE WITH THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION ISSUE. I AM A FORMER LAWYER AND I TAKE MY COMPLAINTS VERY SERIOUSLY.

THEY CHECKED OUT THE BRAKING SYSTEM & SAID THAT IT WAS WORKING PROPERLY & THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THIS DID NOT SURPRISE ME AFTER READING THE OTHER COMPLAINTS.

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE (NEW) FROM THE DEALERSHIP, MY DAUGHTER WAS GETTING BITES ALL OVER HER LEGS AND I ALSO HAD SOME BITES, WHICH IS WHY I CHECKED THE BOX INJURY--HER BITES WERE SO BAD, HER LEGS SWELLED UP AND THEY WERE GETTING INFECTED. AT THE SAME TIME, WE BEGIN NOTICING SPIDERS CRAWLING AROUND THE FRONT OF THE CAR. ON THE WAY TO DISNEY WORLD, WE ALMOST HAD A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT, KILLING SPIDERS ON THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. WEBS APPEAR ON AND IN THE CAR. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 YEAR. I NEVER BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER BECAUSE I JUST THOUGHT A LONE SPIDER SOMEHOW GOT IN THE CAR AND HAD HUNDREDS OF BABIES. THE MORE I KILLED THEM, THE MORE THAT SHOWED UP. DURING THIS TIME, MY DAUGHTER'S LEGS WERE GETTING BIT UP BY SOMETHING AND WE NEVER PUT "2 AND 2" TOGETHER UNTIL WE SAW THE RECALL OF THE CAMRYS BECAUSE OF SPIDERS. I AM NOW CAPTURING THE DEAD SPIDERS AS I KILL THEM TO KEEP AS PROOF AND TAKING PHOTOS. THIS IS NOT A SINGULAR INCIDENT FOR THE COROLLA BECAUSE MY SISTER'S NEIGHBOR TOLD HER WHEN THEY PURCHASED THEIR BRAND NEW 2012 COROLLA, THEY HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS A NIGHTMARE.
