EXPERIENCED A CAR ACCIDENT ON 1/28/2013, THE CAR HAS BEEN ESTIMATED AS TOTALED AS PER ALL STATE CAR INSURANCE.

I AM DRIVING MY CAR GOING APPROX. 45 - 55MILES A HOUR WHEN SUDDENLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. WHEN THIS OCCURS THE CAR GRADUALLY BEGINS TO SLOW DOWN AND WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO ACCELERATE. I CAN PRESS THE PEDAL DOWN BUT THE CAR DOES NOT READ THAT I AM PRESSING THE PEDAL. STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT BEGINS TO BLINK AND CAR GRADUALLY COMES TO A FULL STOP. WHEN I PULL OVER THE RPMS ARE REVVING ABOVE 1 RPM BUT I AM NOT PRESSING THE GAS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON AND THE DEALER SIMPLY TOLD ONE TIME I NEEDED A NEW BATTERY. I BOUGHT IT FROM THEM. THEY SAID YOUR ALTERNATOR IS BAD AND I REPLACED IT AND CHECK ENGINE AND STABILITY LIGHT COME ON AGAIN. I SHOULDN'T HAVE SO MANY PROBLEM WITH A CAR THAT WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW AND IS NOT EVEN 2YRS OLD. *TR

WHEN BRAKING ENGINE SPEEDS UP, HAVING THE IMPRESSION OF LOSS OF CONTROL. THE CONDITION CAN BE REPLICATED IF MY FOOT IS RESTING ON THE EXTREME RIGHT EDGE OF THE BRAKE PAD AND THEN APPLYING THE PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES. WHEN BRAKING, MY SHOE COMES IN CONTACT WITH THE ACCELERATOR DEPRESSING IT SLIGHTLY, SPEEDING UP THE ENGINE. THE DRIVER'S IMMEDIATE REACTION IS TO APPLY MORE PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES, EXACERBATING THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS EASILY SOLVED BY INCREASING THE HEIGHT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE ACCELERATOR SIMPLY BY CHANGING THE THICKNESS OF THE BRAKE PEDAL PAD. I HAVE TESTED MY TOYOTA AVALON 1998 FOR THIS CONDITION AND FIND THAT THERE IS NO SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH THAT VEHICLE. *TR

THIS VEHICLE USES A DRIVE BY WIRE (DWB) ACCELERATOR. WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE GAS THE CAR LURCHES FORWARD. THIS HAPPENED ON A RENTAL CAR IN 2010 AND STILL IS A PROBLEM ON THE USED TOYOTA I PURCHASED. WHEN I CONTACTED TOYOTA THEY STATED THERE WAS NO RECALL INFORMATION. THEY ASKED ME TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGONIZED AT MY EXPENSE, WHICH I REFUSED TO DO. THIS IS A PROBLEM AND BASED ON INFORMATION ON THE NET OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE OWNED MANY CARS AND NOT ONE HAS HAD SUCH A TOUCHY PEDAL. *TR

ANY TIME YOU GO OVER ANY BUMP OR HIT ANY POTHOLE, THE BRAKES BECOME VERY SPONGY FEELING. WHEN YOU PUSH THE BREAKS, THEY FEEL VERY BUMPY (ALMOST LIKE THERE ARE ROCKS IN BETWEEN THE DRUM AND THE PADS AND IT MAKES A GRINDING NOISE. SOMETIMES IT EVEN ACTS LIKE IT DOESN'T WANT TO STOP AT ALL. AS SOON AS YOU LEFT OFF OF THEM AND REAPPLY THEM, IT IS FINE. IT ONLY HAPPENS IF YOU GO OVER SOMETHING THAT IS BUMPY THAT CAUSES ANY KIND OF JOLT TO THE CAR. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I AM ABOUT TO TAKE IT BACK AGAIN BECAUSE IT IS STILL DOING IT. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING ON HWY, I SUDDENLY LOST MY POWER STEERING AND I HAD POWER STEERING LIGHT, VSC AND SLIPPERY CAR LIGHT CAM ON. FROM THAT POINT ON I DIDN'T HAVE POWER STEERING, IT WAS DIFFICULT TO DRIVE SINCE IT WAS HARD TO TURN. THANK GOD THAT I DIDN'T GET INVOLVE IN WRECK. WHEN I TOOK IT MOMENTUM TOYOTA DEALER IN TULSA AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED, SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THAT SINCE IT HAS ALMOST 45,000 IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. WHEN I CALLED TO TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND EXPRESS MY SAFETY CONCERN, THEY SAID IF IT IS CONCERN THAT I NEED TO GET IT FIXED AND PAY OUT OF POCKET SINCE IT HAS ABOUT 45000 MILES ON IT. I ALSO INFORMED THEM THAT IT IS WELL KNOW ISSUE ON AND THERE ARE ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVING ISSUE WITH POWER STEERING, HE SAID I AM SORRY YOU VEHICLE IS OUT SIDE THE WARRANTY AND WE WILL NOT COVER IT. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAS DEVELOPED STEERING ISSUES AT ABOUT 39000 MILES. I AM FINDING THAT THE STEERING IS OVERSENSITIVE. YOU MUST CONSTANTLY CORRECT THE STEERING AT ALL SPEEDS, IT TAKES A LOT OF CONCENTRATION TO DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD AND STAY IN YOUR LANE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS MAY ALSO GET THE ATTENTION OF LAW ENFORCEMENT ASSUMING THAT ONE IS DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE. I HAVE OWNED THREE COROLLAS AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE. TIRES ARE WEARING NORMALLY HOWEVER. *

WE PURCHASED A USED CERTIFIED 2010 COROLLA ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND SOON DISCOVERED THAT IT TOOK CONSTANT ADJUSTMENTS IN STEERING TO KEEP THE CAR TRACKING STRAIGHT ON THE EXPRESSWAY. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND MANY SERIOUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS CAR'S STEERING AS WELL AS A "FIX" OFFERED BY TOYOTA TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING COMPUTER ASSEMBLY (T-SB-0140-10). WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND HAD THE NEW ONE PUT IN. THE DAY AFTER IT WAS DONE, WE DROVE APPROXIMATELY 230 MILES ROUND TRIP, ALMOST ALL OF IT ON THE FREEWAY. WE WERE PLEASED TO FIND THAT THE STEERING WAS GOOD AND THE CAR TRACKED STRAIGHT. TWO DAYS LATER, WE DID THE SAME TRIP AND IMMEDIATELY KNEW SOMETHING WAS TOTALLY DIFFERENT. THE STEERING WAS SUDDENLY FAR WORSE THAN BEFORE THE FIX. IT FELT LIKE WE WERE HYDROPLANING, DRIFTING, AND FLOATING SIDE TO SIDE, AND I HAD TO CONCENTRATE FULLY ON KEEPING THE CAR IN MY LANE. IT FELT MUCH LIKE DRIVING ON A WET, SLIPPERY SURFACE. I DROVE AWHILE BEFORE EXITING THE FREEWAY SO MY WIFE COULD TAKE IT FOR A "TEST DRIVE". SHE SAID IT WAS DOWNRIGHT SCARY. THEN MY COLLEGE-AGE SON GAVE IT A WHIRL. HE AGREED ABOUT THE SCARY PART, SAYING IT WAS COMPLETELY WRONG. HE FINALLY PULLED INTO A REST STOP AND WE TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ABOUT EIGHTY MILES SINCE WE HAD BEEN SWITCHING "TEST" DRIVERS WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. WHEN WE RESUMED DRIVING FROM THE REST AREA, THE STEERING WAS FINE. IT WAS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN TEN MINUTES BEFORE. THAT WAS THE END OF OUR TWO-HANDED, WHITE KN

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

I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 35 MPH ON A ROAD THAT HAS A SPEED LIMIT OF 45 MPH. I WENT TO STOP FOR A LINE OF TRAFFIC WHEN I PUSHED MY BRAKE PEDAL THE BRAKE WENT TO THE FLOOR. IT DIDN'T EVEN SLOW ME DOWN. I HIT THE SUV IN FRONT OF ME THEN MY CAR (WITH MY FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE) ACCELERATED FORWARD AND HIT THE SUV AGAIN AND AGAIN BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. I HAVE HAD MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP 3 PRIOR OCCASIONS TO GET THE SAME CONDITION FIXED. I BOUGHT MY CAR FROM SAID DEALERSHIP, BRAND NEW, A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO. *JS

CAR HAS BEEN FEELING STRANGE AT 60MPH - PULLS TO LEFT SOMETIMES AND IF THE WIND BLOWS IT FEELS LIKE ITS GOING TO LOOSE TRACTION. TODAY THIS HAPPENED WITH SOME RAIN ON THE ROAD CARE LOST TRACTION PULLED LEFT HIT A TRANSFER TRUCK - SPUN AROUND IN THE ROAD INTO A HILL AND ROLLED. CAR IS TOTALED AND MY WIFE WAS LUCKY NOT TO HAVE BEEN KILLED. THE BACK OF THE CAR IS GONE! IF THIS HAPPENS IN THE WIND PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GET KILLED IN THE RAIN. THIS NEEDS FIXED. *TR

THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

I WAS WONDERING IF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THEIR TIRES, I HAVE HAD FOUR NAIL IN MY TIRES FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES. MY GROUND AFFECT ON MY TOYOTA SPORT IS FADING THE COLOR AFTER ONE YEAR. THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS FROM TAKING IT THROUGH THE CARWASH. I TOOK IT THROUGH MIKE'S CARWASH TWO TIMES AND THE OTHER TIMES THROUGH THE TOYOTA CARWASH AT THE DEALER SHIP. I HAD A HOLE IN FRONT FLOOR MAT AFTER ONE YEAR BUT THEY REPLACED ALL FOUR OF THEM. ## VIN PASSED ## TOYOTA COROLLA 2010 ##

VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT FLASHING, ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, VEHICLE IS REVVING TOO FAST, ACCELERATOR HAS NO RESPONSE. TOYOTA DEALER INFORMED ME ABOUT THE THROTTLE IS DEFECTED & THEY HAVE NO FIX FOR IT. THEY MAY HAVE TO CONTACT TOYOTA CORPORATE FOR FIX. I HAVE DONE PREVIOUS RECALL ON IT ALSO. I THINK THE VEHICLE IS DEFECTED "LEMON". TOYOTA SHOULD REPLACE THE VEHICLE OR REIMBURSE ME THE WHOLE AMOUNT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 60 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE BEGIN TO ACCELERATE ABNORMALLY TO 80 MPH.

I NOW HAVE 47,000 MILES ON MY COROLLA.TODAY I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND APPROACHED THE SPEED OF ABOUT 65 MPH. I ATTEMPTED TO CHANGE TO THE RIGHT LANE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN. I DID NOT KNOW HOW TO DESCRIBE IT OTHER THAN TO SAY THAT I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE STEERING AT ALL FOR ABOUT ONE QUARTER OF A MILE. I HAVE SINCE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS AND CAN AGREE THAT IT WAS AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS HYDROPLANING AND IT WAS VERY SCARY. THE CAR ACTUALLY PROCEEDED DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE TWO RIGHT LANES AND LUCKILY NO ONE WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE OR I WOULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT. ONCE I SLOWED DOWN, CONTROL RESUMED AND I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND WAS VERY SHAKEN. WE TOOK THE CAR TO TOYOTA AND THE RESPONSE FROM THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS THAT THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ANY COMPLAINTS OR RECALLS, BUT HE WOULD CHECK IT OUT (REALLY?). HE LATER CALLED AND SAID HE FOUND A BRAKE PROBLEM, BUT NOTHING WITH THE STEERING. NOT SATISFIED WITH THIS ANSWER SINCE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AND THERE IS A PROBLEM. HE BLEW IT OFF AS WIND OR PERHAPS THE ROAD CONDITION. IT WAS NOT WINDY AND I WAS ON A SMOOTH INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. NOT MEANING TO BE RUDE, BUT WHY DOES THIS INVESTIGATION SHOW CLOSED WITH 298 COMPLAINTS? WHY ARE THOSE OF US COMPLAINING NOT BEING TAKEN SERIOUSLY? THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM STARTED WITH JUST A FEW AND ESCALATED. WHY CAN WE NOT TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM NOW BEFORE PEOPLE ARE INJURED? AND LAST, WHY DOES A SAFETY ISSUE SUCH AS THIS THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED HIGH PRIORITY T

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

I NOTICE THAT MY TRUNK DOESN'T REMAIN UP AFTER I OPEN IT. THIS IS CAUSING THE HOOD TO COME DOWN ON MY HEAD. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE OTHER PROBLEM IS THAT THE DRIVER'S DOOR OPENS OUT TOO FAR. *TR

WHEN I WAS DRIVING MY TOYOTA COROLLA 2010 ON 12/29/2011 AT AROUND 10.30 PM, SUDDENLY I FELT THAT THE STEERING WAS SO RIGID TO TURN AND NOTICED IN THE CAR DASHBOARD WARNING INDICATOR LIGHTS FOR ABS, ENGINE MALFUNCTION/CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR, BRAKE, VSC OFF, WERE ILLUMINATING. AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALLY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I WAS TOTALLY SHOCKED!!!!!!!!!!! I TRIED AGAIN TO START THE VEHICLE BUT IT FAILED.I TOWED THE CAR TO TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY RAN VEHICLE TEST AND TOLD ME THAT THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE REPLACED. WHEN THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED THE MILEAGE OF THE VEHICLE WAS APPROXIMATELY 9020. I CALLED AND WROTE TO TOYOTA USA REGARDING THIS ISSUE BUT DIDN'T GET ANY REPLY EVEN AFTER 6 DAYS!!!!!!!!! *TR

I HAVE A 2010 COROLLA S MODEL WITH 44K MILES ON IT . MY WIFE COMMUTES WITH THIS VEHICLE EVERY DAY FOR WORK. I DRIVE THE VEHICLE ON THE WEEKENDS WHEN WE TRAVEL OUT OF TOWN. LAST WEEK WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY WIFE'S CAR I NOTICED THAT THE STEERING FELT LOOSE AND UNRESPONSIVE AT LOW AND ESPECIALLY AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS HYDROPLANING. I ASKED MY WIFE IF SHE HAD NOTICED ANY DIFFERENCE IN THE CAR SINCE WE HAVE OWNED IT. SHE CONFIRMED WITH ME THAT THE STEERING DID FEEL SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT AND DESCRIBED THE FEELING EXACTLY LIKE I HAD AROUND THE TIME I NOTICED IT AS WELL. I THEN GOT ON THE INTERNET TO DO SOME RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM AND I SEEN THAT THERE WERE MANY 2010 COROLLA OWNERS THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS I. ALL RESEARCH SEEMS TO BE LINKED WITH THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING. I NOW FEEL THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO PUT MY FAMILY IN ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAD SAW THAT THERE WAS 8 ACCIDENTS AND 11 INJURIES AND 168 COMPLAINTS LINKED TO THIS PROBLEM ON THE (NHTSA) WEBSITE. *TR

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

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH THE POWER STEERING WAS PULLING TO THE LEFT AND THERE WAS ALSO A NOISE IN THE STEERING AS WELL.

AT APPROXIMATELY 0600 ON THE ABOVE DATE I EXPERIENCED A VIOLENT AND NEAR UNCONTROLLABLE MOMENTARY DISRUPTURE OF THE ABS/ESC SYSTEMS OF MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY, STEERING LOCKED AND ABS AND ESC CONTROL LIGHTS ON DASH LIT UP WHILE I WAS MAKING THE TRANSITION FROM IH37 SOUTH TO IH35 SOUTH IN SAN ANTONIO, TX. I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL BY LETTING OFF OF THE BRAKES AND THROTTLE THUS COASTING THROUGH THE LEFT HAND TURN AND BARELY MISSING THE RETAINING WALL. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, THE FIRST WAS ONLY DAYS AFTER PURCHASE OF CAR. LOCAL DEALER MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL STATED "WE CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR." DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF MCCOLLUMS TOYOTA FIVE OTHER TIMES ALL WITH THE SAME "WE CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG" REPLY. 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. PADS STILL HAD 1/2" OF FRICTION MATERIAL ON EACH. REPLACEMENT OF ROTORS AND PADS FROM AUTO ZONE MADE THINGS BETTER UNTIL NOW. REQUEST ABS/ESC SOFTWARE BE CHECKED ON ALL 2008 TO 2012 COROLLA/SCION TC MODELS ALONG WITH CHECK OF MATERIALS USED IN PADS AND THE ROTORS. OEM ROTORS TAKEN OFF CAR WILL BE AVAILABLE UNTIL 15

HAVE NO CONTROL OF STEERING THE ALIGNMENT IS NOT CORRECT AND THE TIRES ARE BALD AFTER ROTATION EVERY 5000 MILES. DEALER SAYS THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THESE THINGS AFTER I PAID FOR EXTRA WARRANTY UP TO 100,000 MILES. GOODYEAR WILL NOT HELP WITH TIRES. TOYOTA DEALER THAT CAR WAS BOUGHT FROM SAYS THEY DO NOT COVER THIS UNDER MY WARRANTY THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN WRECKED OR ANY OTHER MISHAPS. I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN FOR THE TIRES AT 15,000 MILES TO ENSURE THEY WERE ROTATING WHEN SERVICED AND THEY ASSURED ME THEY WERE. THE TIRES ARE BALD AND TOOK TO A TIRE DEALER TO EXPRESS MY CONCERN THEY SAID THEY CAR WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT IN THE FRONT. THE DEALER THEN TOLD ME THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. I GUESS MY QUESTION IS SHOULDNT THEIR TECHNICIAN BEEN ABLE TO SEE THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE FRONT END ALIGNMENT WHEN ROTATING THE TIRES AND NOTIFIED ME OF THIS PROBLEM? ALSO THE STEERING IS OFF IT FEELS LIKE I AM HYDROPLAINING ALL THE TIME AND THAT IT IS WINDY ALL THE TIME. I HAVE NO CONTROL OF THE CAR OVER 55MPH. *TT

I AM WRITING ON BEHALF OF MY MOTHER WHO WAS INJURED IN AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT ON NOVEMBER 16, 2010. MY MOTHER WAS DRIVING A LOANER CAR PROVIDED BY A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP LOCATED IN SUFFOLK COUNTY, NEW YORK. WHEN MY MOTHER WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE OFF THE CAR LOT, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND SHE HIT AN ONCOMING VEHICLE. MY MOTHER SURFFERED A FRACTURED STERNUM AND WAS HOSPITALIZED FOR 4 DAYS. ON FEBRUARY 8, 2011, THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED FOR DEFECTS BY TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, USA. THE CONCLUSION WAS THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING PROPERLY AND, THERE WAS NO MALFUNCTIONS NOTED. PRIOR TO THE INSPECTION BY TOYOTA, MY NEPHEW LOCATED THIS SAME VEHICLE ON LINE, USING THE VIN#, IT WAS NOTED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, AND THE ACCIDENT WAS CAUSED BY ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. I AM ASKING THAT YOUR AGENCY INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER. IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS SOME DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THE CURRENT INSPECTION AND THE PREVIOUS FACTS/ACCIDENT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS VEHICLE. I ORIGINALLY SENT THIS LETTER TO YOU AGENCY ON APRIL 13, 2011. YOUR AGENCY RESPONDED ON AUGUST 31, 2011 WITH THE FOLLOWING NOTATION, NVS-216 MEC, REF. NO. 10397716. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA CORROLLA THAT CAME OUTFITTED WITH GOODYEAR EAGLE LS2 TIREE 89S. I WAS TRAVELLING ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE RIGHT REAR TIRE BLEWOUT. A QUICK INSPECTION OF THE TIRE DIDN'T SHOW ANY PUNCTURES ON THE MAIN TREAD BUT THERE WAS A HOLE ON THE SIDEWALL. CALLED GOODYEAR TO LET THEM KNOW AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WASN'T A RECALL. I SEE THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER OCCURANCES SO I'M SHARING MINE. HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW TIRE. THE TIRES HAD 13,500 MILES TOTAL AS DOES MY CAR. *TR

LAST MONTH, IN JUNE, I HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. I PULLED OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND WAS NOT GOING FAST. I WAS APPROACHING A STEEP HILL AND WANTED TO BRAKE BUT I COULD NOT. IN ORDER TO STOP THE CAR AND AVOID THE HILL, I CROSSED TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET INTO SOMEONE'S LAWN IN ORDER TO GIVE THE CAR ENOUGH FRICTION TO STOP. I ENDED UP HITTING A SLOPE AND THE CAR STOPPED... BUT NOT FROM MY BRAKES. SINCE I WAS GOING VERY SLOW, NO ONE IN MY CAR WAS HURT. ONE OF THE PASSENGERS IN MY CAR TOLD ME TO TRY AGAIN. I DROVE THE CAR AROUND THE LOT AND THE BRAKES WORKED. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A MONTH AND TOYOTA RECENTLY SENT OUT A THIRD PARTY TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY SITTING ON MY DEALERSHIPS LOT. THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG BUT I AM ABSOLUTELY SURE THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG BECAUSE I PUSHED DOWN ON THE BRAKE THE ENTIRE TIME BEFORE I HIT THE SLOPE IN THE LAWN. I AM STILL WAITING TO HEAR AN OFFICIAL RESPONSE FROM TOYOTA, THE ACTUAL COMPANY. *TR
