STEERING WHEEL LOCKED WHEN I AM BACKING UP MY CAR TO DO REVERSE PARKING. IT HAPPENED ONLY ONCE. IT STARED WORKING WHEN I TRIED TO MOVE FORWARD AND CAME BACK TO NORMAL. I SHOWED IT TO TOYOTA AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH STEERING.
I WAS IN A CAR BAD ACCIDENT IN THE YEAR 2015 THAT I SPIN 3 TIMES AND MY AIR BAGS DIDN'T EXPLODED.
MY CAR'S STEERING WHEEL FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS HAS BEEN SO STIFF AND HARD TO MANEUVER. I WENT TO WORK FINE BUT AS I WAS ABOUT TO LEAVE WORK, I TURNED THE CAR ON, SEEMS LIKE THE START WAS WEAK, AS I BACKED UP 2 FEET, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SO HARD TO MANEUVER. I WENT TO PARK MY CAR BACK TO WHERE IT WAS FROM, TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, THEN ALL I HEAR WAS A CLICKING SOUND, ENGINE WON'T START. COWORKERS JUMPED THE CAR, IT STARTED, TOOK IT TO ADVANCE FOR DIAGNOSIS, THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG ON THE ALTERNATOR OR BATTERY (BOTH LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD). THE CAR RAN LIKE NOTHING WAS WRONG. WENT TO WORK DRIVING THE CAR THE FOLLOWING DAY. IT WAS FINE, UNTIL I HAVE TO LEAVE WORK AGAIN. THE SAME THING HAPPENED!!! CAR'S ON PARK, STARTED THE CAR, BACKED UP, TURNED THE WHEELS, IT WAS STIFF AND IT SEEMED TO HAVE LOCKED, COWORKERS JUMP STARTED IT, DROVE HOME BUT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS ACTING WEIRD. I MADE IT HOME. HUSBAND DROVE THE CAR A BLOCKS FROM THE HOUSE TO SEE IT FOR HIMSELF THEN WHILE DRIVING BACK HE MENTIONED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED GET SOOOOO HARD AND STIFF. IT WAS NOT SAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE THE CAR. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED.
DIFFICULTY TURNING STEERING WHEEL. I WAS PULLING OUT OF A STORE PARKING LOT & ONTO A MAIN STREET AND AS I WAS DRIVING AND BEGINNING TO TURN RIGHT THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY STIFF AND DIFFICULT TO TURN. I BECAME ANXIOUS BECAUSE I WAS HALFWAY ON THE MAIN STREET SO I USED BOTH HANDS TO TURN MY VEHICLE ONTO THE STREET AND LOOKED FOR THE NEAREST SIDE STREET TO GET OUT OF HARMS WAY. ONCE I GOT ONTO A SIDE STREET MANY IF NOT ALL LIGHTS ON MY CENTER CONSOLE ILLUMINATED (BRAKE LIGHT, BATTERY, ABS, VCS, ENGINE LIGHT ETC.). I HAVE ABOUT 140000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE.
ON 08/30/2019 I WAS DRIVING DOWN A SUBURBAN CITY STREET GOING 40MPH AND SLOWED DOWN TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, BUT WAS UNABLE TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL BECAUSE IS HADU LOCKED UP AND WOULD NOT TURN. I WAS TERRIFIED BECAUSE I HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET BECAUSE THE CAR KEPT MOVING STRAIGHT AHEAD. I WAS AFRAID OF BEING HIT, BECAUSE I COULD GET THE STEERING WHEEL TO TURN. OUT OF DESPERATION AND FEAR, I GRABBED THE LEFT SIDE OF THE STEERING WHEEL WITH BOTH HANDS AND TRIED TO PULL DOWN TO MAKE THE STEERING WHEEL TURN...I WAS USING EXTREME FORCE, PULLING NUMEROUS TIMES BEFORE THE STEERING WHEEL FINALLY MOVED THE WHEELS TO THE LEFT SO I COULD MAKE THE LEFT HAND TURN. BUT WHEN I TRIED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT TO STRAIGHTEN THE WHEELS AND CONTINUE MOVING STRAIGHT AHEAD, THE SAME THING OCCURRED....THE STEERING WHEEL REQUIRED EXCESSIVE FORCE, USING TWO HANDS PULLING DOWN ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE STEERING WHEEL REPEATED TIMES TO GET THE CAR IN POSITION TO MOVE FORWARD. BY THE GRACE OF GOD, NO TRAFFIC CAME DOWN THE ROAD IN EITHER DIRECTION. I CONTINUED TRAVELING DOWN THE STRAIGHT ROAD FOR TWO MILES, UNTIL I CAME TO A STOPLIGHT WHERE I HAD TO MAKE ANOTHER LEFT TURN. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, THE SAME THING OCCURRED...I HAD TO REPEATED APPLY EXCESSIVE FORCE TO GET THE STEERING WHEEL TO TURN, WHICH SEEMED LIKE AN ETERNITY. THIS TIME THERE WAS TRAFFIC BEHIND ME BEEPING THEIR HORNS TO GET OUT OF THE WAY, BUT SINCE THE POWER STEERING WAS NOT WORKING, IT TOOK
TAKATA RECALL- THE AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT RECENTLY CAME ON IN MY CAR AND I AM BEING TOLD THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAG INFLATOR AND/OR SENSOR CAUSING THE LIGHT TO STAY ON. ALSO THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN A YEAR THAT MY HORN HAS GONE OUT.

THIS RECALL HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF BUT IS NOT SHOWING ON THIS SITE.
I WANT TO KNOW THE CAR HISTORY
TAKATA RECALL KEPT GETTING RECALL NOTICES TRIED TO GET FIXED BUT DIDNT HAVE PARTS WE FINALLY GOT APPOINTMENT AND GETTING FIXED 4 6 2019
ELECTRIC STEERING STOPPED WORKING AND ALL WARNING LIGHTS LIT UP. I SHUT OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED AND RETURNED HOME. CAR IS IN THE DRIVEWAY SINCE.
SUDDEN FAILURE OF STEERING WHILE DRIVING. CURRENT MILEAGE AROUND 116,000. HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR ABOUT 30MIN AROUND 15-35MPH ON CITY STREETS WHEN STEERING SUDDENLY LOCKED UP AT ABOUT 15MPH WHILE I WAS MERGING LANES. BECAME INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO TURN STEERING WHEEL. AFTER 3 STRAIGHT BLOCKS AND NO CARS IN THE ROAD, I HAD TO USE 3 LANES AND ALOT OF FORCE TO ATTEMPT TO TURN RIGHT IN ORDER TO GET OFF THE MAIN ROAD AND ON TO A SIDE STREET. I LET RUNNING CAR SIT FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES WHILE I TRIED TO CALL FOR HELP...THEN THE STEERING SUDDENLY STARTED TO WORK AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AGAIN. I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS HAPPENING AGAIN. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN ON A FREEWAY.
"TAKATA RECALL" TOYOTA TOOK MY CAR FOR 8HRS, AND THEN SAID THEY HAD NO MORE AIR BAGS, SO THEY PUT MY OLD ONE BACK IN AND SAID THEY WILL CALL ME, TO THIS DAY THEY HAVE NOT CO TACTED ME ABOUT STOCK REPLENISHMENT AND TO COME IN A INSTALL A NEW ONE.
STEERING THE COROLLA IS DIFFICULT AND REQUIRES INTENSE EFFORT. THE ISSUE IS THE CAR WONDERS/SWERVES AND IS THUS DIFFICULT TO KEEP TRACKING CORRECTLY. THIS IS FIRST ELECTRIC POWER STEERING VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED AND PERHAPS IT RESPOND DIFFERENTLY FROM HYDRAULIC STEERING BUT THIS STEERING ISSUE IS VERY DANGEROUS, TAKING YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD EVEN TO SCAN GAUGES WILL HAVE YOU STEERING OFF THE ROAD OR ADJACENT LANE. JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE 1/19 WITH ONLY 70K SO IT'S IN MINT CONDITION AND NO ACCIDENT HISTORY OR EVIDENCE TO BLAME.
SUDDEN FAILURE OF MY CAR'S POWER STEERING: I WAS DRIVING AT ABT 50-55 MILES PER HOUR AT I-880 GOING NORTH, I WAS MAKING A LANE CHANGE BECAUSE MY EXIT WAS APPROACHING, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, I LOST MY POWER STEERING, MY STEERING WHEEL BECAME SUPER HARD TO MOVE OR TURN, AND I ALMOST HIT THE REAR-RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, WHICH WAS AT THE SAME LANE. I WAS ABLE TO CHANGE LANE BUT IT WAS A VERY CLOSE CALL FOR COLLISION-ACCIDENT. I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR HAS ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS). SUCH EPS SHOULD HAVE A BACK UP SYSTEM, OR SUCH FAILURE SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ALL OF A SUDDEN--IN A BLINK OF AN EYE. WITHOUT A BACK UP SYSTEM, SUCH SUDDEN FAILURE COULD RESULT IN FATAL ACCIDENT. IT WAS TOO SCARY, PANICKY, N STRESSFUL FOR ME. THEN, WHEN MAKING A LEFT N A RIGHT TURN, BECAUSE OF MY SUPER HARD TO TURN-STEERING WHEEL, I SUFFERED A SPRAIN N PAIN IN THE LEFT SIDE N THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY BODY. THE MILEAGE OF MY CAR WAS ABOUT 106470 MILES WHEN IT HAPPENED.
TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HORN BEGAN TO FAIL AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V340000 (AIR BAGS) BY TOYOTA OF PHARR (1625 W EXPY 83, PHARR, TX 78577, 1-800-347-2360).

THE DEALER INDICATED THAT A SERVICE APPOINTMENT NEEDED TO BE SCHEDULED FOR THE HORN FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
TAKATA RECALL. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP (BOB HOWARD TOYOTA IN EDMOND, OKLAHOMA) TO SCHEDULE THE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT BUT WAS TOLD THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART AND WILL CALL ME WHEN THE PART IS AVAILABLE. I ASKED THE EMPLOYEE IF WE COULD GET A RENTAL OR LOANER CAR IN THE MEANTIME SINCE WE USE THE PASSENGER DAILY FOR OUR KIDS. SHE INFORMED ME THEY DO NOT DO THAT AND THAT I NEED TO CALL TOYOTA DIRECTLY VIA THE NUMBER ON THE RECALL FORM. AFTER TALKING TO TOYOTA THEY INFORMED ME I SHOULD RECEIVE A CALL FROM TOYOTA RELATIONS AT THE DEALER (BOB HOWARD TOYOTA) WITHIN 48 HOURS. AFTER WAITING A WEEK AND RECEIVING NO CALL I DECIDED TO CALL TOYOTA DIRECTLY AGAIN. I WAS THEN INFORMED THE DEALERSHIP WAS SUPPOSE TO CALL ME BACK ON THE 27TH OF AUGUST (48 HOURS FROM ORIGINAL CALL WITH TOYOTA) BUT THEY DID NOT. WHEN TOYOTA TRIED TO REACH OUT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE PERSON IN CHARGE OF HANDLING THESE MATTERS WOULD NOT ANSWER THEIR CALLS. SO NOW I AM WAITING AN ADDITIONAL 24 HOURS TO GET A CALL BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP TO GET A LOANER CAR. DURING THIS WHOLE THING WE ARE STILL DRIVING A CAR WITH A AIRBAG THAT COULD POTENTIALLY KILL SOMEONE!

WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL IT SEEMS TO JUST LOCK UP AND DOESN'T WANT TO TURN, AND I HAVE TO FORCE THE STEERING WHEEL TO TURN. IT HAPPENS ABOUT 2 TO 3 TIMES A WEEK. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A CAR THE OTHER DAY BECAUSE I COULD NOT GET TURN THE CORNER FAST ENOUGH BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO TURN THE WHEEL.

"TAKATA RECALL" THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT SUBMITTED TO YOU. THE TOYOTA DEALER HAS HAD MY CAR FOR 1 YEAR-- UNACCEPTABLE- THEY HAVE NOTHING TO TELL ME REGARDING WHEN THE RECALL WILL BE FIXED. MY CAR HAS BEEN SITTING SOMEWHERE FOR A WHOLE YEAR. I'VE CONTACTED MY LENDER(CAPITAL ONE) NO SUCCESS THERE. I CANT TRADE VEHICLE IN BECAUSE IT IS NOT RELEASED TO ME. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE, THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNFAIR, UNACCEPTABLE.
TAKATA RECALL NOTIFIED IN 2016 BUT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED AS OF THIS DATE JAN 2018
WHEN I AM DRIVING MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OF OVER 50 MPH IT DOES NOT STAY STRAIGHT. IT REQUIRES ALOT OF STRENGTH TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT. IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS BEING MOVED TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT BY WINDS. FEELS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE STEERING WHEEL IS SO STIFF TO TURN SOMETIMES. I HAVE DONE THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT SEVERAL TIMES AND PUT ON NEW TIRES RECENTLY BUT THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINS. VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND I GET VERY TIRED AFTER DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS JUST MAINTAINING IN MY OWN LANE. THE DEALER'S ARE NOT MUCH HELPFUL AT ALL WITH THIS. I'VE READ ONLINE ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL WITH THE STEERING. THERE NEEDS TO BE AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS SOON BECAUSE IT'S VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.
SUMMARY: THE SUBJECT VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATORS PRODUCED BY TAKATA. ACCORDING TO TAKATA, THE PROPELLANT IN THESE INFLATORS MAY DEGRADE AFTER PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO HIGH ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY AND FLUCTUATING HIGH TEMPERATURES. DEGRADED PROPELLANT CAN CAUSE INFLATOR RUPTURE DURING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. SAFETY RISK: IN THE EVENT OF AN INFLATOR RUPTURE, METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG CUSHION MATERIAL, STRIKING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS, AND RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. REMEDY: THE REMEDY WILL CONSIST OF THE REPLACEMENT OF THE AIRBAG INFLATOR OR THE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY, DEPENDING ON THE VEHICLE MODEL.

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.
