2010 Toyota Corolla complaints

THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED AND SOON CAUGHT FIRE BY ITSELF WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON 101 & LAWRENCE EXPRESS, CALIFORNIA. REPORT SHOWN BY INSURANCE COMPANY SAID "FOUND CYL #1 ROD IS BENT AND HAS PUNCTURED THE ENG. BLOCK CAUSING OIL TO LEAK ALSO THE BLOCK IMPACTED THE AC COMPRESSOR POSSIBLY CAUSING THE VEH TO CATCH FIRE MELTING THE AC COMPRESSOR HARNESS,RF WHEEL SPEED HARNESS,FRONT BUMPER,WHEEL AND WHEEL LINER.NO OTHER FAILURES SEEN OR DEMO" THIS HAPPENED A WEEK AFTER I HAD MY CAR INSPECTED AND MAINTAINED. TRIED TO REACH TOYOTA, BUT THEY ARE NOT RESPONDING. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECAME STUCK WHICH MADE HER LOSE CONTROL AND CRASH INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. UPDATED 6/10/14*CN

GAS PORES OUT OF THE TANK WHEN FILLED. GAS PEDAL STICKS. *TR

BRAKES MAKE A RAPID THUMPING SOUND AND ARE INEFFECTIVE WHEN APPLIED AT THE TIME THE CAR IS DRIVING OVER BUMPS, HOLES, OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE ROAD SURFACE. THE ROAD SURFACE HAS TO BE COMPLETELY SMOOTH FOR THE BRAKES TO WORK PROPERLY. THIS IS CAUSE FOR A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AND THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME HAD HIT THEIR BRAKES DUE TO THE CARS IN FRONT OF THEM HITTING THE BRAKES DUE TO A RED LIGHT. I THEN HIT MY BRAKES AS WELL AND THE CAR DIDN'T STOP, I PUMPED THE BRAKES A FEW TIMES AND STILL HAD NO BRAKES. MY HUSBAND HAD PANICKED AND PULLED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND THE CAR STILL DID NOT STOP. MY CAR THEN HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US WHICH IN TURN CAUSE A CHAIN REACTION FOR THE OTHER 3 VEHICLES INVOLVED. IF MY BRAKES WOULD NOT HAVE FAILED, I WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP IN TIME BEFORE SMASHING INTO THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. MY CAR IS NOW A "TOTAL LOSS" AND I AM OUT OF A VEHICLE. I AM JUST GLAD THAT NO ONE WAS SERIOUSLY HURT. *TR

I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. SEVERAL ENGINE LIGHTS STARTED BLINKING. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, MY CAR WOULD ONLY MOVE VERY SLOWLY. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET THROUGH THE LIGHT WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND THEN COAST DOWNHILL TO A RESIDENTIAL AREA. I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF OF A 4-LANE DIVIDED HIGHWAY. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO MY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME THAT MY ENGINE CONTROL MODULE HAD SHORT-CIRCUITED AND REPLACED IT IN THE NEXT TWO DAYS, THE PART # BEING 8966102F54. THE CAR IS RUNNING FINE NOW. I'M SCARED THOUGH, THAT THIS MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN, OR THAT IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED AT HIGH SPEED, OR THAT MY TEENAGE DAUGHTERS WOULD HAVE PANICKED IN THE SITUATION AND MAY HAVE BEEN HIT WHILE GOING THROUGH THE GREEN LIGHT. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP. *TR

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (55-70 MPH) VEHICLE CAN'T BE DRIVEN ON A STRAIGHT LINE. AS SOON AS YOU THINK IT IS GOING STRAIGHT, IT VEERS EITHER TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT FORCING CONSTANT CORRECTIONS OF THE STEERING WHEEL. SOMETIMES YOU FIND YOURSELF MICRO CORRECTING IT FROM SIDE TO SIDE TRYING TO FIND THE CENTER. I CAN CATEGORIZE THIS ISSUE AS VERY DISTRACTING AS TOO MUCH ATTENTION IS BEING DIVERTED ONLY TO KEEP THIS CAR INSIDE SAFE DISTANCES FROM OTHER CARS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND TOOK AN EXIT. ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES, AND THERE WAS A GRINDING NOISE. THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP AND HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE AT THE STOPLIGHT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN THE MORNING ON A VERY COLD DAY AND WAS DRIVING AROUND 30MPH. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AS I COULD SEE THE STOP LIGHT ABOUT 200 FEET JUST CAME ON. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES, THE ABS BRAKES LOCKED UP AND IT TOOK THE ENTIRE 200 FEET TO FINALLY GET THE CAR TO STOP. *TR

AT SPEEDS OVER 45 THE VEHICLE WANDERS IN LANES AND GIVES A "OUT OF CONTROL" FEELING ON THE FREEWAY. MORE NOTICEABLE ON CONCRETE ROADWAYS. THIS HAS BEEN AN EVER INCREASING PROBLEM SINCE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED FROM DEALER RIVER VIEW AUTO SALES IN LAKE HAVASU ARIZONA ON 09-19-2013 WITH AN ESTIMATED 75000 MILES (ORIGINAL ODO READING NOT DISCLOSED ON DEALER DOCUMENTS). *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA UPHILL AND IT FELT AS IF I SLID/SLIPPED A LITTLE ON THE ROAD, WHICH WAS NOT SLIPPERY. THE VSC OFF LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BOTH STARTED FLASHING ON AND OFF...AND IT SEEMED AS IF I LOST POWER. FINALLY REGAINED POWER TO A NORMAL SPEED BUT LIGHTS STILL FLASHING AND POWER LOST AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED FOR THE FIRST TIME ON SUNDAY NIGHT. THEN DIDNT OCCUR AGAIN UNTIL WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. SAME THING DRIVING ALONG NORMALLY AND IT FELT AS IF MY VEHICLE WAS GOING TO SHUTDOWN PLEASE HELP. *TR

WE HAVE BEEN IN A STATE OF UTTER SHOCK AND DISMAY SINCE THIS INCIDENT AS THIS WAS COMPLETELY UNEXPECTED. I HAVE BEEN A SAFE DRIVER SINCE THE PAST 7 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANY ACCIDENTS, VIOLATIONS ETC. ALSO I NEVER MISTOOK THE GAS PEDAL FOR THE BRAKE DURING MY WHOLE DRIVING CAREER AND I USE ONLY ONE LEG FOR THIS PURPOSE. MY VEHICLE WHEN I PURCHASED IN 2010 WAS INSPECTED 2-3 TIMES FOR THIS AND OTHER ISSUES BY THE DEALER/TOYOTA. THE INITIAL ESTIMATES AS PER MY INSURANCE AGENT ARE SEVERAL GRAND (DOLLARS) AND THE DAMAGE TO THE CAR IS EXTENSIVE. THE INSURANCE COMPANY'S BODY SHOP IS WORKING ON IT. PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHMENTS THAT SHOW THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE TOYOTA DEALER WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF PURCHASING IT FOR ACCELERATION PROBLEMS AND ALSO THE EDR REPORTS, SERVICE STATEMENT SHOWING THAT THI

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD SWERVE TO THE RIGHT AND LEFT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FUNCTIONING NORMALLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 43,749. UPDATED 03/05/14*LJ THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE AT TIMES, AND IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL COMING FROM THE VEHICLE, AN ISSUE WITH THE IGNITION AND THE FRONT END.

PREMATURELY FAILING: STRUTS (REPAIRED SUMMER OF 2013), WATER PUMP (REPAIRED 10/15/13), BRAKES (REPAIRED 10/15/13), AND ALTERNATOR (YET TO BE REPAIRED). *TR

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

I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY THROUGH A SCHOOL ZONE AND SUDDENLY MY DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR FELL DOWN. IT NOW SWINGS LOOSELY AND WON'T STAY UP. THE CAR IS LESS THAN THREE YEARS OLD AND ONLY HAS 40K MILES. THE DEALER SAID THEY ARE REPLACING CAMRY'S BUT NOT COROLLA'S. THEY ARE PROBABLY THE SAME THING. *TR

PREMATURE WEAR OF FRONT STRUTS. NEEDED BOTH FRONT STRUTS REPLACED AT 50,000 MILES. PER THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE STRUT WAS COMPLETELY BLOWN OUT. *JS

I GOT IN THE CAR TO RUN AN ERRAND. THE SEATBELT WOULDN'T BUCKLE TO HOLD ME IN SAFELY. I PRESS IT IN AND IT JUST WON'T STAY IN PLACE. *TR

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 70MPH. MY EXIT WAS COMING UP ON THE RIGHT SIDE SO I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN. HOWEVER THE BRAKE STUCK AND THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T SLOW DOWN, IT KEPT GOING. I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL ON, AND USUALLY IF I BRAKE WITHOUT FIRST TURNING IT OFF IT SLOWS DOWN, BUT THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN. SO I TURNED THE CRUISE CONTROL OFF BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. MY CAR KEPT GOING. I PUSHED DOWN ON THE BRAKE, BUT THAT MADE THE CAR ACCELERATE EVEN MORE. I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THE PEDAL WASN'T STUCK, IT WASN'T, BUT I KNEW THAT WASN'T THE PROBLEM BECAUSE MY CAR WAS ACCELERATING WHEN I WAS HITTING THE BRAKE. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONE IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE I WAS GOING OVER 110MPH. I SPED AT THIS SPEED FOR QUITE A WAYS MAYBE 3/4 OF A MILE. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE AND HAD MY PHONE IN MY HAD TO CALL 911. I KEPT PUSHING ON THE BRAKE SINCE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO (THIS OF COURSE MADE ME GO FASTER AND FASTER). THE BRAKE WOULDN'T GO DOWN THOUGH. I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS HAPPENING. IT WAS LIKE STUCK? FINALLY I HEARD MY ACCELERATE POP. AND THE CAR STARTED TO DECELERATE. *TR

ON MONDAY JULY 29,2013 WHILE I WAS SET ON 70 MPH CRUISE CONTROL, MY TOYOTA COROLLA SUDDENLY SURGED FORWARD. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST IT MADE THE CAR GO ,BUT I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN ANYTHING GOING THAT FAST. I HAD TO TAKE THE CAR INTO THE GRASS MEDIAN TO AVOID HITTING ANOTHER CAR WHEN THE BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP MY CAR. WE STILL FLEW DOWN THE GRASS MEDIAN LIKE A SPEED BOAT HITTING WAVES, WE WERE BOUNCING, THE CAR WAS BOUNCING, I HAD SEVERE CRAMPS AND STABBING ACROSS MY LOWER KIDNEY AREA WHEN WE FINALLY CAME TO A STOP. I HAD TO HOLD THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR FOR WHAT SEEMED LIKE ETERNITY. BEFORE IT FINALLY STOPPED. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT IN GREAT DETAIL TO TOYOTA CORPORATE AND MY CASE WAS #1307291802.(THIS CASE # IS NO LONGER VALID) I WAS TOLD AT THAT TIME IF I FELT SAFE, I COULD TAKE IT TO MY DEALER IN D.M.,IOWA WHERE I LEASED THE CAR IN 2010, OR IF I FELT UNSAFE, I COULD TAKE IT TO ADAMS TOYOTA IN LEE'S SUMMIT, MISSOURI. THEN, MY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW CALLED ADAMS ON MY BEHALF AND THEY GAVE HER AN ENTIRELY NEW CASE NUMBER BECAUSE THE FIRST REP WHO TOOK THE REPORT DID NOT UNDERSTAND THERE WAS DAMAGE .MY NEW CASE # IS 1308011967. I FELT I NEVER WANT TO BE IN THAT COROLLA AGAIN, SO I DID TAKE IT TO ADAMS AND THEY PROVIDED ME WITH A SCION RENTAL TO GET BACK TO HOME AND WORK IN IOWA.

THE PROBLEM IS WITH BRAKING SYSTEM OR BRAKE IN MY TOYOTA COROLLA 2010. I STEP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN I WAS DRIVING AT 25MPH SPEED AT LOCAL STREET, BUT THE BRAKE PEDAL JUST GOT FROZE COULDN'T PUSH FURTHER. THEN I TRIED TO PULL UP THE BRAKE HANDLE BUT THE HANDLE WAS TOTALLY LOOSE, ALL LIGHT ON THE BOARD WENT ON, THEN I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE KEY TO FORCE THE ENGINE STOP BEFORE I ALMOST HIT THE OTHER CAR FRONT OF ME.AFTER 5 MINS I RESTART MY CAR, IT TURNED OUT NORMAL. IT'S VERY TERRIBLE EXPERIENCES. I WAS LUCKY THIS TIME, IT COULD CAUSE TO DEATH ACCIDENT. I SEND THE CAR TO TOYOTA DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR ORIGINALLY. THEY CHECKED THE CAR AND TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG, ALSO CHARGED ME TO PAY FOR THE CHECKING.THIS CAR IS BEYOND THE SAFE TO DRIVE, I DON'T KNOW IT WILL HAPPENED AGAIN. *TR

CAR SPUN OUT OF CONTROL CROSSING THREE LANES , THE STEERING WHEEL WAS HARD TO CONTROL SPINNING RIGHT AND LEFT AS I STRUGGLED TO MAINTAIN CONTROL THE VEHICLE . *TR

I MADE A LEFT HAND TURN AND WAS HIT ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. THE FORCE OF THE HIT SPUN MY CAR IN A FULL CIRCLE, DAMAGED THE ENTIRE FRONT OF THE FRAME, KNOCKED OFF THE FRONT BUMPER, CAUSED THE TRUNK TO OPEN, AND CAUSED SEVERE DAMAGE SPANNING THE WHOLE FRONT END OF THE CAR INCLUDING THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WHICH I WAS UNABLE TO OPEN. DURING THIS ACCIDENT, THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE ESTIMATED COST FOR REPAIR FOR MY COROLLA WAS 13,000 DOLLARS. *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

AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE AND DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 100 FEET, THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS: ABS, ANTI SKID SYMBOL, BATTERY AND OIL LAMP APPEARED. LOST POWER STEERING, WINDSHIELD WIPERS CEASED, IT WAS RAINING HEAVILY. DROVE APPROXIMATELY 6 MILES TO HOME. THE NEXT MORNING, CAR STARTED WITHOUT ANY ISSUES, DROVE APPROXIMATELY 100 FEET, THE SAME LIGHTS APPEARED AND POWER STEERING AGAIN CEASED. ABLE TO DRIVE APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES TO WORK. MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH DEALERSHIP FOR AFTER WORK. CAR IMMEDIATELY STARTED WITH THE ABOVE MENTIONED LIGHTS APPEARING AGAIN AND WITHOUT POWER STEERING. DROVE APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES, ALL POWER IN CAR STOPPED, AND CAR IMMEDIATELY STOPPED. WAS UNABLE TO RESTART CAR, CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, WHERE THE SERVICE MEMBER STATED THE CAR NEEDED A NEW ALTERNATOR. WHEN ASKED WHY THIS WOULD OCCUR WITH ONLY 25000 MILES, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS UNABLE TO GIVE ME A RESPONSE. THE ALTERNATOR WAS COSTLY. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER, PURCHASED THIS CAR IN JULY, 2009. SERVICE MY CAR REGULARLY AS SUGGESTED IN MANUAL AT A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. I AM DISAPPOINTED WITH NEEDING SUCH A COSTLY REPAIR AS I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS IN THE PAST WITH OTHER MAKES OF CARS. ALL OF WHICH I HAVE OWNED FOR 8 TO 10 YEARS EACH. *TR

THERE WAS NO INCIDENT AS OF THIS DATE HOWEVER THERE COULD BE IF SOMETHING IS NOT DONE. MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA HAS A GLITCH IN THE POWER STEERING AND TOYOTA DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL ON IT IN THE UNITED STATES. I HAVE SEEN AN ARTICLE IN THE PAPER REGARDING TOYOTA RECALLING 185,000 VEHICLES IN JAPAN AND EUROPE DUE TO A POWER STEERING GLITCH. I HAVE SPOKEN TO TOYOTA IN CALIFORNIA ABOUT MY CAR AND MY CONCERN BUT THEY JUST TAKE MY INFORMATION AND SAY THAT THEY'LL PUT IT ON RECORD. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO ME. I KNOW OF ANOTHER CUSTOMER OF VILLAGE CADILLAC AND TOYOTA IN HOMOSASSA, FLORIDA (WHICH IS WHERE MY CAR WAS SERVICED) HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. ALSO THE PREVIOUS OWNER OF MY TOYOTA EXPRESSED A CONCERN ABOUT THE POWER STEERING. I DO KNOW THAT TOYOTA CHANGED THE POWER STEERING TO AN ELECTRICAL TYPE POWER STEERING IN LATE 2009 BUT CHANGED IT BACK TO THEIR OLD SYSTEM BY LATE 2010, THIS TELLS ME THEY KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND THIS IS 2013 AND THERE'S BEEN NO RECALL YET. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE FIRST? I REALLY WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR HELP IN THIS MATTER. *TR
