2010 Toyota Corolla complaints

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. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR USED AND IT HAS ABOUT 79K MILES ON IT.

ONCE GAIN AFTER GETTING A NEW ENGINE PUT INTO THIS CAR 3 MONTHS BACK, OUR CAR EXPERIENCED YET ANOTHER PROBLEM - THE OXYGEN GAUGE IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM WHICH IS ATTACHED TO THE ENGINE'S EXHAUST MANIFOLD HAS GONE BAD. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR TO WORK, THE ENGINE LIGHT AND VSC ILLUMINATES AGAIN. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION, THIS IS THE DEALERSHIP'S FAULT SINCE IT DEALING WITH THE ENGINE, OR UNDER WARRANTY, BUT NOPE. I ENDED UP PAYING FOR THE REPAIR AGAIN. I HAVE NEVER DEALT WITH SO MANY PROBLEMS IN A SINGLE CAR. THIS CAR IS ACCIDENT FREE AND NEVER HAD ANY MAJOR DAMAGES DONE.

EVERY TIME I ACCELERATE FORWARD OR REVERSE, MY CAR JUMPS QUICKLY. SCAREY AND ALMOST HAVE HIT THINGS. I ACCELERATE VERY CAUTIOUSLY EVERY SINGLE TIME BUT NOT FUN!!! WAITING FOR THE BIG HIT!!!! NOT "IF" BUT "WHEN?" NOT MY IMAGINATION. MY GROWN SON, HATES TO DRIVE MY CAR. HE SAYS THE SAME THING. HAPPENS ANYTIME I ACCELERATE FROM A STOPPED POSITION. STOP SIGNS, PARKING PLACES, GARAGE ENTERING OR LEAVING. STARTED ABOUT 2013 AND CONTINUED SINCE, EVERY SINGLE TIME. NOW 10/07/15.

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ONE DAY MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SPIRAL SPRING IS DEFECTIVE IN MY CAR. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PART FROM TOYOTA, BUT FOR SOME REASON MY VIN # WAS NOT INCLUDED.

I WAS DRIVING 99 SOUTH IN SOUTH SACRAMENTO LAST AUG 21 2015, AT AROUND 2 PM. MY LT FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AS I STOPPED TO GLANCE AT MY BLIND SPOT ON MY RT SIDE SO I CAN TAKE HWY 50 TOWARD LAKE TAHOE, WHEN I TURNED MY HEAD TO THE FRONT, I NOTICED MY CAR WAS MOVING FORWARD ON IT'S OWN, SO I PRESSED THE BRAKES ALL THE WAY DOWN AND I LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR, I FELT THE BRAKE STUCKED TO THE FLOOR AND THE ONLY REASON THE CAR STOPPED IS BECAUSE I WAS ON BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC AND MY CAR HIT THE CAR INFRONT OF ME. MY CAR HAD ONLY HAD 47000 MILES ON IT. 2 WEEKS PRIOR TO THAT I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER FOR OIL CHANGE AND HE SAID I NEED NEW FRONT BRAKES ON THE NEXT OIL CHANGE. AS A RESULT OF THE ACCIDENT, MY CAR IS TOTALLED. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS INJURED! THE POLICEMAN TOOK REPORT. I CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE IN TORRANCE AND SHE SUGGESTED TO INSPECT THE " BLACK BOX " OR EDR OF THE CAR THEN SHE ASKED ME WHAT I WANT FROM TOYOTA! AFTER THE ACCIDENT, I FOUND OUT THAT THERE WERE LOTS OF RECALLS ON TOYOTA MATRIX UP TO 2012 BUT I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE FROM THE MAIL NOR THE DEALER FIX THE RECALL WHENEVER I TAKE MY CAR FOR OIL CHANGE!

THE NEW COROLLA HAS NO FEEDBACK OF THE ROAD AND WOULD NOT STAY CENTERED IN ROAD AND WANDERS AROUND. IT HAS TO BE CORRECTED REPEATEDLY MAKING LONG TRIPS VERY TIRING. I TOOK IT TO TOYOTA AND THEY CENTERED THE STEERING AND ADDED A UPGRADE CIRCUIT BOARD WHICH TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN ILL FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS AND UNABLE TO USE THE CAR AND HAD OTHER PEOPLE DRIVE ME. THEY ALSO HAD STEERING PROBLEMS. WHEN I STARTED DRIVING AGAIN I STARTED HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND BELIEVE THE CAR IS A DANGER TO ANY ONE DRIVING IT. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO TOYOTA 8/2015 AND THEY SAID THE WANDERING WAS NORMAL FOR THE MODEL USING ELECTRIC STEERING. I HAD TECHNICIAN DO A 8 MILE TEST DRIVE TO CONFIRM THE PROBLEM. THEY REPORTED TO ME THERE WAS NO FIX REQUIRED BY THE GOVERNMENT AT THIS TIME AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING. PRESENT MILEAGE 17500.

THERE WAS A SUDDEN ACCELERATION IN MY TOYOTA COROLLA 2010 AND HIT A TREE,I WAS DRIVING 15 MILES PER HOUR AT THAT TIME.

MY FAMILY AND I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW TOYOTA COROLLA 2010 LE FROM LUSTINE TOYOTA, WOODBRIDGE, VIRGINIA IN 2010. FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS, SINCE WE OWED THE VEHICLE, WE HAVE DID ALL THE OIL, FILTER CHANGES, AND THE REQUIRED MAINTENANCE, I.E., TIRE ROTATIONS, ALIGNMENT, AND THE DIFFERENT MILES INSPECTION ON TIME AND NEVER MISSED A SINGLE MAINTENANCE OR CHECK-UPS. WE CAN PROVIDE PROPER DOCUMENTATIONS, IF NEEDED. WHEN THE CAR REACHED THE 34,000 MILES, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LUSTINE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY FIX THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED US THAT IT WAS A PART OF A RECALL ISSUE, AND NO FEES WOULD BE REQUIRED FROM OUR SIDE. HOWEVER, WE HAVE RECENTLY FACED THE SAME ISSUE THIS PAST WEEK, AND THE CAR HAS NOW REACHED MORE THAT 89,000 MILES. ONCE AGAIN, WE HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED BY LUSTINE TOYOTA, WHO THEN INFORMED US THE VEHICLE NEEDS A NEW ENGINE, WHICH IS ABOUT A $8,000.00 EXPENSE. I RECENTLY FILED A COMPLIANT WITH THE TOYOTA COOPERATION, WHO REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE FAULT AND WANTS TO PROVIDE ME WITH $2,000.00 TO REPLACE FAMILY'S CAR. MY FAMILY AND I WERE NOT EXPECTING THIS EXHAUSTIVE EXPENSE AND A $2,000.00 CREDIT IS NOT ENOUGH TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS IS A VERY FRUSTRATING EXPERIENCE FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. I HAVE CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 5, WHICH ARE ALSO TRAUMATIZED AND AFRAID OF THE CAR'S CONDITION TO OPERATE SAFELY (MY CHILDREN WERE IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIGOROUSLY). I WOUL

I'M NOT 100% SURE IF THE MASTER SWITCH WINDOW IS PART OF THE RECALL BUT MY MASTER SWITCH WAS SMOKING AND I FELT LIKE IF I CONTINUED DRIVING EARLIER IT FELT LIKE MY CAR WAS ON FIRE.

I WAS AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT WHEN IT HAPPENED, LUCKILY I WAS ON THE FIRST LINE, I ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE WINDOW SWITCH WITH MY ELBOW AND IT STARTED TO SMOKE. I WASN'T FEELING SAFE SO I CALLED MY INSURANCE AND I ASKED FOR A TOW TRUCK TO BRING MY CAR TO S NEAREST TOYOTA DEALER, I KEPT ASKING TOYOTA DEALER IF THIS WAS PART OF THE RECALL BUT THEY CANNOT ANSWER ME.

ON 11/23/2011, I BOUGHT A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA AT STERLING MCCALL TOYOTA. UNFORTUNATELY, THE VEHICLE WAS INADEQUATE BECAUSE OF A HIDDEN DEFECT IN THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE DRIVERS FRONT SEAT. I AM DISAPPOINTED AND CONCERNED BECAUSE THE WAY THE SEAT WAS DESIGNED AND/ OR CONSTRUCTED PLACES A METAL BAR TO BE COMPRESSED AGAINST THE SPINAL COLUMN. THE LOCATION OF THIS METAL BAR LOWERS THE PROTECTION OF THE OCCUPANTS PHYSICAL SAFETY AND PLACES THE DRIVER AT A HIGHER RISK FOR LUMBAR VERTEBRAE INJURY.

SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN I SLOWED AT A STOP LIGHT WHICH WAS GREEN PREPARING TO TURN RIGHT. THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND I STOOD ON THE BRAKE AS I TURNED THE CORNER. THE CAR SOUNDED LIKE ALL THE BOLTS AND MOTOR WERE FALLING OUT BEFORE IT RIGHTED ITSELF. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

I PURCHASED A TOYOTA COROLLA IN 2010 AND IT APPARENTLY HAD A POTENTIAL CAM GEAR ISSUE. THEY HAD PUT OUT A TSB ALERT ON THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER THEY NEVER DISCLOSED TO ME THAT THIS ISSUE COULD ACCUR. I'VE TAKEN IT IN TO THEIR DEALERSHIP AND THE COST OF REPAIR IS $1150. IF THEY WOULD HAVE TOLD ME AT THE TIME OF THE PURCHASE THAT THE CAM GEAR COULD HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE I WOULDN'T HAVE PURCHASED IT. THEY FAILED TO DISCLOSE TO ME ANY POTENTIAL ISSUES AT THE TIME OF SALE. THIS PRACTICE IS FRAUDULENT AND HIGHLY UNETHICAL. I WOULD LIKE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED WITH ME AND IT BE CORRECTED FOR FUTURE PURSCHASES OF OTHERS.

ALL THE WARNING AND CONTROL LIGHTS IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WERE TURNED ON FOR 3 TO 4 SECONDS BUT THE CAR STARTED ON ITS OWN.

THIS WEEK I HAVE LEFT CAR AT FLORENCE TOYOTA AND TOLD THEM TO KEEP IT ALL WEEK TO TRY AND FIND PROBLEM. HAVE SEEN ONLINE THAT THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS.

2010 TOYOTA COROLLA THE TRANSMISSION WILL SURGE WHEN TRYING TO PASS ON THE HIGHWAY.

ALSO AT LOW SPEEDS COMING UP TO A LIGHT AND THEN IT TURNS GREEN BUT NOT FULLY STOPPED MAYBE 15 MILES AN HOUR THE TRANSMISSION WILL ALSO SURGE. THIS SEEMS LIKE AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND TOYOTA WANTS TO DO NOTHING ABOUT IT THIS IS RIDICULOUS A CAR WITH 62,000 MILES HAS THIS PROBLEM THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED ASAP. *TR

CHECK ENGINE AND VSC LIGHTS BLINKING. HANGS UP IN THIRD GEAR. HAD CODE PULLED. SHIFT SOLENOID CLOSED. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. DEALERSHIPS JUST GIVE YOU THE RUNAROUND.

WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS TAKING A LEFT HAND TURN INTO SUPERMARKET ENTRANCE, HER STEERING LOCKED UP ON HER. SHE HAS BEEN DRIVING THIS CAR SINCE MIDDLE OF JUNE 2014 WHEN CAR WAS PURCHASED FOR HER. I HAVE OWNED TOYOTAS IN THE PAST, AND HAVE KNOWN THEM TO BE RELIABLE VEHICLES. THIS INCIDENCE HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THIS TIME, AND TOYOTA APPARENTLY KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM. THEY EVEN RECOGNIZE IT AS BEING SOME FORM OF ELECTRONIC POWERING STEERING ISSUE, WHOSE COST IS UPWARDS OF 1400.00 TO REPAIR. I AM COMPLETELY DUMBFOUNDED BY THIS (CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE), THAT IS SUPPOSE TO COST ME, THE CONSUMER ANOTHER 1400.00 TO REPAIR. I HAVE READ OF THIS ISSUE IN PREVIOUS LOGS, NEWS REPORTS, AND COMPLAINTS. WHY HAS TOYOTA OR NHTSA NOT FORCED THIS ISSUE. I BELIEVE NOW THAT THIS IS UNSAFE FOR MY DAUGHTER TO DRIVE, AND DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE. IF SAFETY IS NOT A CONCERN HERE, I AM NOT SURE WHAT MERITS THAT DISTINCTION. SIGNED, A VERY UPSET PARENT AND ONCE LOYAL TOYOTA CUSTOMER. *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.
