MY LIGHT CAME ON 80.000 MILES AND I WAS INFORMED IT IS THE SHIFT SOLENOIDS VALE P2757, WHAT WAS REPLACED, AND RIGHT AFTER TAHT THE CODE CAME ON AGAIN P2757 WITH A DIFFEREND DIAGNOSTIC.SHAVINGS FROM THE TRANSMISSION AND I NEED A COMPLETE NEW TRANSMISSION. THERE ARE NO AVAILABLE ONLY THROUGH THE DEALER 2 IN HOUSTON REBUILD NO NEW ONES . CAN YOU CHECK IN TO THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE A LOT OF COLMPLAINS ON THE WEBSITES
IN A FRONTAL CRASH THE PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED AND THE ROOF HANDLE WAS EJECTED FROM ITS BASE LIKE A PROJECTILE AND HIT THE DRIVER HEAD WITH GREAT FORCE .
THE RUBBER SEAL FROM THE WIND SHEALD IS FLYING OFF ALSO THE BACK WINDOW SAME PROBLEM.
TAKATA INFLATORS
I WAS INVOLVED IN A ROLLOVER CRASH AND NOT A SINGLE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. I HONESTLY THINK IT'S A DEFECT FROM ALL THE ISSUES THAT TOYOTA HAS HAD WITH AIRBAGS. I WAS RAN OFF THE ROAD GOING AROUND A CURVE AND I HIT A DITCH AND MY CAR FLIPPED END OVER END. THE FRONT OF MY CAR WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED, I WAS GOING ABOUT 50MPH, EVERY AIR BAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED.
ALL DASHBOARDS CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. ALSO WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKE OR PUTTING ANY LOAD ON THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THE VEHICLE STARTS STALLING. IT IS NOT CONSISTENT AND CAN'T BE REPEATED CONSISTENTLY.
MY 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE RECALL ON 2009 CAMRY. EXTREME USE OF OIL. WHEN THE TIME FOR MY 5000-MILE OIL CHANGE MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THERE WERE LESS THAN 2 QTS LEFT IN THE CRANKCASE. SINCE THAT OIL CHANGE, THE CAR HAS USED 1 QT IN 2000 MILES. I VISITED THE POWAY, CA. TOYOTA DEALERSHIP BUT SINCE THERE WAS NO RECALL ON COROLLAS THEY WOULD NOT EVEN DISCUSS REPAIRS WITH NO CHARGES. HOW CAN IT BE FAIR THAT ONE VEHICLE THE CAMRY IS COVERED WITH A RECALL AND ANOTHER MODEL THE OWNERS MUST PAY FOR THE REPAIRS OF THE SAME PROBLEM THE CAMRY HAD BUT WITH A RECALL DIDN'T HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS STICKY AND COMPLETELY MELTED DUE TO THE SUNSHINE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 211,000.
ONE MONTH AFTER BUYING MY CAR FROM ANOTHER CONSUMER, I NOTICED THE OIL WAS LOW. I FILLED FULL THE FIRST DAY I GOT IT AND HAD NOT PUT ANY SERIOUS MILEAGE ON IT. TWO WEEKS LATER I START TO HEAR THIS TICKING NOISE AND REALIZED THE OIL FILTER NEEDED CHANGED THE PRIOR WEEK. CHANGED IT. NOTHING HAPPENED. THIS TICKING OCCURS ON START UP, GETS LOUDER WITH THE RPM, AND VIBRATES THE ENTIRE CAR AT STOPS. TOOK MY CAR TO TOYOTA THE NEXT MONTH THINKING IT WAS THE ACCELERATOR BELT OR THE CONNECTION ROD BEARING PLATE. THEY HAD ME PAY PAY 120$ TO TAKE OFF THE VALVE HOOD ONLY TO TELL ME I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I DID A BUNCH OF RESEARCH AFTER THIS AND HUNDREDS OF CONSUMERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE OVERCONSUMPTION OF OIL FROM THIS YEAR'S MODEL LEADING TO THE FAILURE OF MANY ENGINES. TOYOTA STILL HASN'T ADMITTED FAULT FOR THIS AND THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL WHEN THERE SHOULD BE. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE AN 'HONEST, RELIABLE' COMPANY BUT IF THEY EXPECT CONSUMERS TO PAY 2 TO 6 THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR A NEW ENGINE THAT WAS THEIR FAULT...I WILL NOT SUPPORT THEM THROUGH BUYING THEIR PRODUCTS AGAIN. FRANKLY IT'S SICKENING TO READ THAT AFTER 10 YEARS THEY WON'T BE ON THE HOOK FOR THIS FAULTY PRODUCT'S DESIGN. WHILE I UNDERSTAND THOSE WERE TOUGH TIMES, WE ARE STILL FEELING THE 2008 RECESSION THROUGH THIS FAULTY PRODUCT AND A COMPANY THAT DOES NOT HOLD UP TO THEIR NAME.
I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A LOT OF HIGHWAY WANDERS AND I HAVE REPLACED TIRES AND HAD THREE OR MORE ALIGNMENTS DONE SINCE JANUARY OF THIS YEAR. IT FEELS AS IF THE WILD IS BLOWING A HUNDRED MILES AN HOUR AROUND ME AND PUSHES MY CAR ALL OVER THE FREEWAY. I FEEL IT GETTING WORSE AS WELL. I'M NOT SURE WHAT ELSE TO DO OR WHO TO CONTACT. I REALLY NEED TO GET THIS FIXED ASAP AND WE HAVE TRIED MANY THINGS.
ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WHEN IT WAS RAINING. I HAD TO PULL OVER UNTIL THE RAIN STOPPED. MY MECHANIC DID A DIAGNOSTIC AND THOUGHT THERE WAS A BAD CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSMISSION BUT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STILL WON'T WORK. I THEN WAS TOLD IT COULD BE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS BURNING OIL AT AN ABNORMAL RATE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 142,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V024000 (AIR BAGS) WAS RECEIVED IN JANUARY OF 2018. AFTER CONTACTING THE LOCAL DEALER (JOHN JACOBS TOYOTA IN MILWAUKEE, WI), THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED TO REPAIR THE RECALL WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.
I BOUGHT MY CAR IN NOVEMBER OF 2012 WITH ABOUT 70,000 MILES AND QUICKLY NOTICED IT BURNED A LOT OF OIL. SHORTLY AFTER THAT I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM TOYOTA ADMITTING THEY HAD A PROBLEM WITH THESE ENGINES BURNING OIL. THEY TOLD ME TO HAVE MY CAR TESTED AT THE DEALERSHIP. I HAD THE CAR TESTED AND TO MY SURPRISE IT PASSED THE TEST. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO TAKE THE TEST AGAIN AFTER 1 YEAR. THE NEXT TIME I TESTED THE CAR IT FAILED THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST BY A LARGE MARGIN. TOYOTA REFUSED TO NOW REPAIR THE CAR BECAUSE I HAD REACHED 151,000 MILES AND THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 150,000 MILES. TOYOTA KNEW ALL ALONG THAT THE CAR HAD OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEMS AND NOW THEY REFUSE TO STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT. EVERYWHERE I DRIVE THE CAR NOW I HAVE TO CARRY EXTRA OIL WITH AND ON LONG TRIPS ITS A REAL ISSUE. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THAT AND WE PAY A LOT OF MONEY FOR THESE CARS. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN TOYOTA FOR NOT STANDING BY THEIR PRODUCT.
MY 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA HAS HAD AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL CONSUMPTION DUE TO TOYOTA PUTTING IN DEFECTED PISTON AND PISTON RINGS. THIS DEFECT CAN CAUSE ENGINE DAMAGE OR ENGINE FAILURE RESULTING IN HAVING TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ENGINE. THESE OTHER MODELS MAY ALSO BE AFFECTED: TOYOTA CAMRY 2007-2011 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID 2007-20011 TOYOTA COROLLA 2009 TOYOTA MATRIX 2009 TOYOTA RAV4 TOYOTA SOLARA 2007, 2008 SCION XB 2008 2009 SCION TC 2007-2009
AIR BAGS NEVER WENT OFF
AT RANDOM TIMES THE CAR BEGINS TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN WITH NO INTERFERENCE TO THE PEDAL. IT WILL KEEP ACCELERATING UNTIL I HIT THE PEDAL AND PULL UP ON THE PEDAL WITH MY FOOT. IN NEUTRAL THE ENGINE WILL REV UP TO OVER 6,000 RPM AND CONTINUE GOING UP. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING A NORMAL SPEED AND IS RANDOM.
TAKATA RECALL - I HAVE CONTACTED 2 DIFFERENT DEALERS IN MY AREA TO COMPLETE THIS RECALL, ONE IN JANUARY 2018 AND ONE IN FEBRUARY 2018. BOTH DEALERS SAID IT WOULD TAKE 3 DAYS FOR THE PART TO COME IN. WHEN I FOLLOWED UP WITH THEM OVER A WEEK LATER, THEY SAID THEY STILL HAS NOT RECEIVED THE PART. I HAVE NEVER HEARD BACK FROM EITHER DEALER AND IT'S NOW MAY 2018. WE'VE RECEIVED SEVERAL NOTICES REGARDING THIS RECALL FOR OVER A YEAR, BUT CAN'T SEEM TO GET ANYONE TO ACTUALLY FIX IT.
2009 TOYOTA COROLLA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING. *LD *JS
BACK IN JANUARY, 2018 MY ENGINE WOULD KNOCK WHEN I STARTED THE CAR. TOOK THE CAR FOR IT'S SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THERE WAS ONLY A QUART OF OIL THAT DRAINED. MY OIL LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. NEEDLESS TO SAY THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO CONSUME OIL. TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED THAT MY ENGINE NEEDED TO EITHER BE REPLACED OR REBUILT. I OPTED TO HAVE IT REBUILT. I PAID $4000 DOLLARS FOR THIS. GOT THE CAR BACK AND DROVE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND CHECKED MY OIL ONLY TO FIND IT WAS DOWN 1 1/2 QUARTS OF OIL AFTER ONLY 2 DAYS OF DRIVING ON BASICALLY A BRAND NEW MOTOR. I'M STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON MY VEHICLE AND HAVE FALLEN BEHIND SEVERAL TIMES TO MAKE REPAIRS TO MY VEHICLE. SO FAR IN THE TWO YEARS I'VE OWNED THIS CAR I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP/FILTER, WATER PUMP X2, FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS, TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER, SPARK PLUGS X4. THIS IS GETTING REALLY EXPENSIVE. THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM REFUSED TO EVEN LOOK AT THE VEHICLE A WEEK LATER WHEN I COMPLAINED ABOUT IT MISFIRING.
MY 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA HAS OVER HEAT PROBLEM SO I TAKE IT TO MECHANIC AND THEY FOUND WATER PUMP ISSUE, I REPLACE IT. PROBLEM STILL CONTINUE AND TAKE IT TO DEALER PLACE AND THEY DIAGNOSTIC VEHICLE AND CAME UP WITH FEW PROBLEM WHICH COST ME $1187, AFTER THEY FIXED THEY FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC AND SAID ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACE AND THEY ALSO SAID TRANSITION COULD FAILURE DOWN THE ROAD AND THEY ESTIMATE ME ANOTHER $4500 TO REPLACE ENGINE FROM DIFFERENT CAR WHICH IS HAS 75000 MILES ON IT.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE CAME TO REST ON ITS ROOF. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE NECK, WHICH REQUIRED SEVERAL SURGERIES TO FUSE THE C3-C7 VERTEBRAE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE WAS NOW DISABLED DUE TO THE CRASH. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND LATER DEEMED DESTROYED. NEITHER THE MANUFACTURER NOR THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
PAINT IS CHIPPING
THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG "OFF" LIGHT, WARNING LIGHT AND MAIN AIRBAG LIGHT COME ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND REMAIN ON. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PARKED AND WE HAVE NEVER HAD THIS MESSAGE BEFORE. ERROR CODE B1650 AND B1797. THE ERROR CAN NOT BE CLEARED. THE "FIX" IS TO REPLACE THE FLOOR HARNESS THEN THE CENTRAL AIR BAG ECU AND THEN THE SEAT ASSEMBLY UNTIL IT IS FIXED. APRX $5000. 2 TOYOTA MECHANICS GAVE US DIFFERENT DIAGNOSTIC, ONE TELLING US THERE WAS CORROSION AND THE OTHER SAYING THERE WAS A BROKEN WIRE. INDEPENDENT CHECKING OF THE HARNESS SHOWED NEITHER. I AM FROM CANADA BUT THOUGHT I SHOULD SUBMIT THIS HERE ALSO SINCE I SEE COMPLAINTS FOR THIS ISSUE IN THE U.S,

MOST PRONOUNCED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE CAR WILL INTERMITTENTLY NOT GO STRAIGHT. IT FEELS LIKE A NOTCH BOTH TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT OF CENTER. IT TAKES BOTH HANDS TO FIGHT THE WHEEL TO MAKE IT GO SOMEWHAT STRAIGHT. PULLING THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF ONE OF THESE NOTCHES AT 65 MPH MAKES THE CAR VEER A FEW FEET OR MORE IN THE OTHER DIRECTION OF THE NOTCH. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN A CAR OR 18 WHEEL SEMI TRUCK IS IN THE NEXT LANE AND COMPLICATED FURTHER WITH A SIDE WIND. I JUST BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR A TAKATA AIRBAG REPLACEMENT AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR KNEW NOTHING ABOUT ANY STEERING PROBLEMS REGARDING A 2009 COROLLA. I WENT TO THE CORPORATE LEVEL AND AGAIN, TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE KNEW NOTHING ABOUT ANY PROBLEMS. WHEN I ASKED IF I COULD SEND THEM LINKS TO REPORTS BY ABC, CONSUMER REPORTS, USA TODAY AND MULTIPLE OTHER SOURCES ABOUT LAW SUITS, JUDGEMENTS AND DECISIONS, THEY SAID THEY HAD NO WAY OF ACCEPTING THESE LINKS. APPARENTLY, HUNDREDS OF 2009 COROLLAS HAVE THIS ISSUE. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE AT ALL SPEEDS, ALTHOUGH AT SLOWER SPEEDS IT ISN'T AS DANGEROUS BUT MOVING AT A HIGHWAY SPEED MEANS THAT A FEW FEET OF UNPREDICTABILITY IS NOT ONLY POSSIBLE BUT HAPPENS EVERY FEW HUNDRED YARDS. THERE ARE TIMES BUT VERY FEW TIMES WHERE THE STEERING IS COMPLETELY NORMAL. MY SUSPICION IS THAT THE ELECTRONIC STEERING BOX OR CONTROL MAY BE AFFECTED BY CELL PHONE INTERFERENCE, BOTH FROM MY OWN PHONE AND OTHERS AS WELL AS RECEPTION TOWERS. I AM A DRIVER OF ALMOST 45 YEARS AND HAVE LOGGED ALMOS

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
