2011 Toyota Corolla complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE DRIVER SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER VIBRATED. THE WINDSHIELD WIPER FAILED TO CLEAN THE WINDOW, WHICH MADE VISIBILITY DIFFICULT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADE HAD BEEN REPLACED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

TAKATA RECALL: AIRBAGS DEPLOYED IN RECENT CAR ACCIDENT WHERE I WAS SIDE SWIPED OFF THE HIGHWAY. PINKY FINGER ON RIGHT HAND WAS NEARLY CHOPPED OFF BY SHARP OBJECT COMING FROM AIRBAG. NEEDED 10 STITCHES TO SEW PINKY FINGER BACK TO RING FINGER IN THE ER.

TAKATA RECALL OUR CAR SRS LIGHTS ON , WHILE DIAGANOSED IN TOYOTA SERVICE CENTRE THEY FOUND FAULT AS 'AN OPEN IN RIGHT SIDE AIR BAG HARNESS' , FOR THIS THEY ASKED TO REPLACE THE AIR BAG HARNESS AT THE COST OF 1246. THERE IS NO ACCIDENT OR SMALL COLLITION TILL NOW. THEN HOW THIS AIR BAG PROBLEM WILL COME. MAY BE AIR BAG QUALITY IS NOT GOOD. ALSO FOR DIAGNOSED THEY BILLED $122. THIS IS TOO COSTLY. SINCE WE HAVE NOT TOUCHED ANYTHING IN THIS PART HOW THIS KIND OF AIR BAG ISSUE IS COMING. PLEASE HELP US ON THIS ISSUE. IS TOYOTA SERVICE CALLED US FOR FIX THIS AIR BAG ISSUE WITHOUT COST THEN IT WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

THE RIGHT FRONT OF THE VEHICLE HIT A STATIONARY VEHICLE ON ITS LEFT REAR, AT 25 PLUS MPH, WITH NO ADVANCE BRAKING. DRIVER EXPERIENCED FULL SUN BLINDNESS. NATURALLY THE QUARTER PANELS WERE DESTROYED, BUT THE DAMAGE INCLUDED THE SUSPENSION, WHEEL UNIVERSAL, CAR DOORS WERE PUSHED TOGETHER, AND THERE WAS EVEN A RUMBLE ON THE ROOF. CAR TOTALED. NO AIR BAGS EVER DEPLOYED. THIS SAID, THE DRIVER WAS UNSCATHED AND THE ALIGNMENT WAS STILL GOOD. THE ISSUE GIVEN THAT THE DOORS WERE PUSHED TOGETHER, THERE WAS A RUMPLE IN THE ROOF, BOTH TIRES WERE DEFLATED, AND THE UNIVERSAL AND AXELS WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED (THIS WAS THE MINIMUM IDENTIFIED DAMAGE), THIS SEEMS LIKE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT.

I BROKE MY NECK DUE TO A FAULTY AIR BAG SYSTEM.. I HAD TO HAVE CERVICAL NECK FUSION, I AM LUCKY TO BE ALIVE.. I HAVE ALL PROPER DOCUMENTS STATING THE ACCIDENT. NO CRIMINAL ACTION NEEDS TO BE EXCERSIZED, I JUST WANT TO HOLD WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEFECTIVE ITEMS WHICH HAVE CAUSED ME A DRAMATIC LIFE CHANGE.. EMOTIONALLY AND PHYSICALLY.. I WILL NEVER BE THE SAME, I HAVE TITANIUM RODS DRILLED INTO THE BOTTOM OF MY SKULL HOLDING IT TO MY SPINE..

I DRIVE QUITE A BIT AND NORMALLY KNOW MY VEHICLES PRETTY GOOD. I HAVE RECENTLY OBTAINED THIS 2011 TOYOTA COROLLA S AND IT IS IN GREAT CONDITION OVERALL. I MADE A TRIP 2 DAYS AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE AND IMMEDIATELY NOTICED A HESITATION BETWEEN 55-65 MPH. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS APPROXIMATELY 11AM IN THE MORNING AT 78F. DRIVING ON A FLAT WELL MAINTAINED BLACK TOP ROAD THE VEHICLE DOES IN FACT HAVE A CONSTANT HESITATION THAT DROPS APPROXIMATELY 1000-2000 RPMS WITH A NOTICEABLE FEEL IN THE VEHICLE. IMMEDIATELY (3-4 SEC) AFTER THE HESITATION THE VEHICLE RECOVERS BACK TO THE ORIGINAL RPM. AS LONG AS STAYING IN THIS SPEED RANGE (55-65 MPH) THE VEHICLE HAS THE HESITATION REPEATEDLY. THE SECOND ISSUE THAT I HAVE NOTICED ON THE SAME VEHICLE IS THE ACTUAL DECELERATION WHEN REMOVING MY FOOT FROM ACCELERATOR. WHEN TRAVELING ON THE SAME ROAD AND TIME AS STATED ABOVE THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO REALLY COAST RIGHT ALONG OR SO IT SEEMS. WHEN SAYING THIS, I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM ACCELERATOR AND THE VEHICLE ROLLS RIGHT ALONG AS IF I AM STILL PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR AT WHICH TIME I MUST APPLY THE BRAKE MORE SIGNIFICANTLY THAN LETTING IT JUST COAST. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW THIS IS EFFECTING MY GAS MILEAGE, IS IT GOING TO CAUSE UNDUE STRAIN ON THE DRIVETRAIN, IS THIS GOING TO BE A PROBLEMATIC ISSUE THAT TOYOTA IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO IGNORE?

I OWN A 2010 SIMILAR MODEL AND I HAVE JUST RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE AIRBAG WIRING HARNESS. IN AUGUST, I PURCHASED A 2011 TOYOTA CORROLLA. I WAS DRIVING IT HOME AND NOTICED THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LAMP WAS ILLUMINATED. THE LAMP HAS STAYED CONTINUOUSLY ILLUMINATED SINCE THE DATE I NOTICED IT. THIS MIMICS THE BEHAVIOUR INDICATED IN THE RECALL NOTICE ON MY 2010 MODEL.

GROSS SAFETY IGNORANCE BY TOYOTA. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND THE DRIVER BEHIND ME STRUCK ME. PROBLEM STARTED THE NEXT DAY AFTER THE SALE TRANSACTION. THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLIANT WITH NHTSA. ALL EXHIBITS ON THE FILE. I ASKED OTHER DEALERSHIPS TO FIX THE VEHICLE; THEY REFUSED TO PERFORM NEITHER TEST NOR INSPECTION DUE TO MANUFACTURE DEFECTS. I WAS SENT BACK TO THE TOYOTA CASE MANGERS WHO IGNORES THE SAFETY AND REFUSES TO PROVIDE RESOLUTIONS. AUDIO RECORDING ON THE FILE. I NOTIFIED THE SERVICER AND THE MANUFACTURE REP WHICH WAS THE TOYOTA CASE MANAGER ABOUT THE ONGOING PROBLEM. I SENT CERTIFIED REGISTERED LETTERS. BOTHE, THE MANUFACTURE REP AND THE SERVICER GAVE VERBAL GUARANTEES WHICH WERE BROKEN. THEY ARE FLIP-FLOPPING, THEIR VERBAL GUARANTEES AND PROMISES WERE BROKEN OVER AND OVER. THE VEHICLE HAS ONGOING PROBLEMS OCCURRING DAILY BUT IT IS COMPLETELY RANDOM. THE MANUFACTURE REP REFUSED TO INSTALL A CHAT RECORDER AND MONITORS THE VEHICLE SYMPTOMS, HE FUSES TO PROVIDE TECHNICAL INFORMATION ON THE ALLOWABLE TEMPERATURE BREAKS ROTOR DISK; EXCESSIVE BREAK PADS DUST BUILDUP, THE SERVICER REFUSES FURTHER TEST THE VEHICLE. THE SHORT TEST DRIVE WHICH THE SERVICER USES TO TEST THE VEHICLE IS INSUFFICIENT. TESTS ARE DURING THE RUSH HOUR AND SHORT DRIVEN DISTANCES. I OFFER TO PAY FOR THE TECHNICIAN TIME AND DRIVE THE VEHICLE OUTSIDE THE RUSH HOUR AND LONGER DISTANCE BUT IT WAS REJECTED AS WELL. MY COMPLAINT TO NHTSA HASNT BROUGHT TOYOTAS ATTENTION EITHER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE SUN ROOF SHATTERED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

I USE THE REAR DEFROST FRIDAY AND SATURDAY IN THE MORNING. NEVER USE THIS. YESTERDAY IN THE MORNING THE REAR GLASS IS CRASH. THE CAR IS OFFF IN THE PARKING. HAVE MELTED THE DEFROST INSIDE.

THIS CAR WAS INVOLVED IN A THREE CAR COLLISION. A VAN TURNED LEFT SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT SIGNALING. THE CAR BEHIND THE VAN SLAMMED ON BRAKES. THE NEXT CAR HIT THE FIRST CAR IN THE BACK. THE THIRD CAR (MY CAR) HIT THE SECOND CAR IN THE BACK AND PUSHED HIM INTO THE FIRST CAR. MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AND I WAS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE FRONT AIR BAGS AND ALL FOUR OF THE SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. WE BOTH HAD ON OUR SEAT BELTS BUT THEY DID NOT LOCK. I, SEATING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WITH MY SEAT BELT ON, WAS PROPELLED INTO THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THE WINDSHIELD HAS A CIRCULAR PATTERN OF CRACKS WHERE I HIT IT WITH MY FACE. LUCKILY, MY FACE WAS ONLY CUT AND SEVERELY BRUISED WITH NO BROKEN BONES. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE SEAT BELTS DID NOT LOCK. NEITHER THE SEAT BELT NOR THE AIR BAGS PREVENTED ME FROM HITTING THE WINDSHIELD. MY DAUGHTER'S SEAT BELT ALSO DID NOT LOCK BUT THE AIR BAG PREVENTED HER FROM BEING SEVERELY INJURED.

3 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE, MICE STARTING COMING INTO THE AIR FILTRATION SYSTEM. I HAVE TRIED TO KEEP THEM OUT HOWEVER THE DESIGN FLAW IN THE CABIN AIR INTAKE WILL NOT PREVENT THEM FROM COMING IN. THERE IS A HUGE OPENING WHERE THEY CONSTANTLY COME IN. I HAVE 2 SMALL CHILDREN AND THIS IS VERY VERY DANGEROUS BETWEEN DISEASES AND THREAT OF WIRES BEING CHEWED. WE ALSO HAD A TOYOTA TUNDRA THAT HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. MY HUSBAND TRADED IT IN AND HAS A FORD NOW AND DOES NOT HAVE A PROBLEM AT ALL WITH MICE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT AND AFTER DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE BRAKES ERRONEOUSLY ACTIVATED AND ABRUPTLY STOPPED THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE ALSO OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE. A LOUD NOISE WAS PRESENT WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION WAS AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000.

I STARTED TO HEAR A LOUD ROARING/ROAD NOISE FROM FRONT OF MY VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65-70 MPH. SINCE MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 49,000 MILES ON IT, I ASSUMED IT WAS A TIRE PROBLEM AND NOT A FAILED BEARING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO COSTCO WHERE I RECENTLY PURCHASED TIRES. I INFORMED THE ADVISOR THERE THAT THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE ( I DID NOT SPECIFY A SIDE). HE THEN TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TIRES AND SOUNDED LIKE A FAILED/FAILING BEARING. HE ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2009-2013 TOYOTA COROLLA'S, SPECIFICALLY THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP (ARLINGTON TOYOTA) WHO CONFIRMED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL BEARING HAD FAILED AND THE REPLACEMENT WOULD COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE WHEEL BEARING AT NO COST TO ME. *TR

I BEGIN HEARING AN UNEXPLAINABLE NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF MY VEHICLE AT 33,527 MILES WHEN DRIVING SLOW AND OVER SPEED BUMPS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP (ARLINGTON TOYOTA) ON 6/12/2013 TO HAVE THE VEHICLE LOOKED OVER. AFTER PERFORMING A MULTI-POINT INSPECTION, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND ASKED TO COME BACK IF IT CONTINUED TO MAKE THE NOISE. ON THE RIDE HOME AND UP UNTIL 4/24/2014, IT CONTINUED TO MAKE THE SAME NOISE PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE AS TIME WENT ON. ON 4/24/2014 I FINALLY HAD ENOUGH OF THE NOISE AND STARTED TO DO SOME INVESTIGATING OF MY OWN. I LOOKED OVER AT THE PORTION OF THE STRUTS THAT WERE VISIBLE, AND FOUND THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WITH A GREASY SUBSTANCE RUNNING DOWN THE STRUT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE SAME TOYOTA DEALERSHIP (ARLINGTON TOYOTA) AND WAS AGAIN TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. AFTER REQUIRING THE SERVICE MANAGER TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE AND THEN TELL ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT BEFORE LEAVING, AND HIM ACTUALLY DRIVING IT, HE CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS A FAILED FRONT DRIVER SIDE STRUT AND WOULD BE REPLACED AS "GOOD WILL". *TR

JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR AT FREMONT TOYOTA. THEN I NOTICED THE STEERING SEEMS TO WANDERS. I HAVE TO CORRECT IT ALL THE TIME. BUT I THOUGHT THIS IS NORMAL SINCE IT IS A COMPACT CAR OR IT COULD BE WINDY. BUT THERE ARE TIMES WHEN IT DOES OKAY. JUST TONIGHT, I NOTICED MY CAR STEERING WHEEL IS NOT STRAIGHT AND I'M AFRAID IT COULD BE A STEERING COMPUTER PROBLEM WHICH THE 2009 TO 2010 COROLLAS HAD. I ALSO HEARD A CLUNKING NOISE WHEN I TURN THE STEERING ON BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT, WHICH IS THE SAME PROBLEM THE 2009 TO 2010 HAD. HOW I WISH THEY WILL EXTEND THE TSB OR RECALL TO 2012 SINCE I HAVE READ SOME ARTICLES THAT EVEN THE 2012 COROLLA OWNERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME THING. TOMORROW I WILL TAKE THIS CAR TO THE DEALER AND SEE WHAT IS WRONG. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

MY 2011 TOYOTA COROLLA HAS ACTING UP WE THE RPM GOING HIGHER THAN NORMAL. THE CAR ONCE GOES DOWNHILL IT AUTOMATIC INCREASE SPEED. I WILL LIKE TO KNOW WHAT CAN I DO TO GET THIS PROBLEM TAKING CARE OR IT. ITS A SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT. *TR

DEPLOYED AIRBAGS EXCEPT PASSENGERS ONE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ENGAGING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE WOULD ACCELERATE FORWARD. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000. UPDATED 4/6/15*CN UPDATED 11/4/2015*JS

ON 2/19/15 AT AROUND 9:27 PM MY CAR WAS HIT BY A PICKUP TRUCK IN DOWNTOWN BELLEVUE, HERE IS WHAT HAPPENED 1. I APPROACHED THE INTERSECTION TO TAKE A LEFT FROM BELLEVUE WAY NE TO ENTER NE 7TH ST WHICH TAKES INTO THE LINCOLN SQUARE CINEMA PARKING LOT 2. I SAW THE RED SIGNAL (EXCLUSIVE LEFT ARROW) AND WAITED FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN GREEN TO TAKE LEFT. MY CAR WAS FIRST IN LINE WAITING ON RED 3. ONCE THE LEFT ARROW TURNED GREEN I STARTED TURNING LEFT AND HALF WAY INTO THE ROADWAY A PICKUP TRUCK (DRIVING AT AROUND 45-50 MPH) HIT MY CAR ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE (SIDE COLLISION) 4. WITH THAT IMPACT MY CAR WAS DRAGGED ABOUT 15 FEET AND HIT ANOTHER CAR, THAT WAS STANDSTILL AND WAITING TO TURN RIGHT FROM NE 7THST TO BELLEVUE WAY NE) THE IMPACT TO MY CAR WAS SO INTENSE POLICE OFFICER FILED A CASE AND INTERVIEWED WITNESSES AT THE SCENE AND CONCLUDED IT WAS OTHER GUY (PICKUP TRUCK) MISTAKE. HOWEVER, I AM SURPRISED WHY AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY? MINE IS FAIRLY NEW CAR, ONLY 3 YEAR OLD WITH 33K MILAGE. I BROUGHT IT BRAND NEW IN DECEMBER 2011 I AM TAKING THIS SERIOUS BECAUSE, FORTUNATELY MY WIFE IS NOT IN THE CAR WHEN ACCIDENT HAPPENED. HOWEVER, ME AND MY WIFE USUALLY GO EVERYWHERE TOGETHER, AND I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED IF SHE WAS SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAR. SO I WANT TO FILE A CASE AGAINST THE CAR COMPANY FOR SELLING ME A DEFECTIVE CAR. *TR

I WAS GETTING OUT A PARKING IN REVERSE, SUDDENLY THE CAR ACCELERATED WITHOUT CONTROL CRASHING WITH THE CAR WAS BEHIND IN THE OTHER EXTREME IN THE PARKING. DAMAGES:1-BUMPER, RIGHT AND LEFT OF THE REAR SIDES OF MY CAR 2-BACK, FRONT, AND SIDES OF THE CAR WHICH MY CAR STOPPED. *TR

I'M A 52 YEAR OLD MALE DRIVER AND THE CAR IS A 2011 TOYOTA COROLLA AUTOMATIC DRIVE. THE TEMPERATURE WAS 4 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. I ACCELERATED FROM A STOP TURNING LEFT ON TO A RURAL ROUTE HEADING WEST. THE ACCELERATOR DROPPED TO THE FLOOR GOING FAR BEYOND WHERE I PUSHED IT WITH MY FOOT. I HAD TO STOMP THE BRAKE SO IT WOULD RELEASE THE ACCELERATOR AS IT ALREADY ACCELERATED BEYOND SAFE SPEEDS. THE ACCELERATOR WASN'T STUCK IN A FLOOR MAT AS IT RELEASED WHEN I STOMPED THE BRAKE. THE 2011 COROLLA OFTEN EXHIBITS AN AUTO-PILOT FEELING ON A FLAT STRETCH OF ROAD OR GOING DOWNHILL AT WHICH YOU CAN REMOVE YOUR FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR AND IT WILL MAINTAIN THAT SPEED FOR ANOTHER MILE OR SO RATHER THAN DECELERATING. DURING THIS TIME, THE BRAKE STIFFENS AND THERE SEEMS TO BE A STRONG UPWARD FORCE ON YOUR FOOT AS YOU TRY TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL. DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL DOESN'T DECELERATE THE VEHICLE VERY MUCH. IT APPEARS TO TRY TO CONTINUE THE SPEED THE AUTO-PILOT CHOSE. WHEN THE AUTO-PILOT ISN'T EXPERIENCE, THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NORMAL AND GOES DOWN WHEN DEPRESSED AS YOU WOULD EXPECT. I HAVE TRIED TO DOWNSHIFT TO FORCE DECELERATION AS WELL BUT SHIFTING INTO THIRD DOES NOT RESET THE AUTO-PILOT. SHIFTING INTO SECOND MIGHT RELEASE THE AUTO-PILOT BUT I BELIEVE THAT IS DANGEROUS TO THE OCCUPANTS AND HARMFUL TO THE TRANSMISSION SO I HAVE NOT TRIED SHIFTING INTO SECOND. I'M QUITE CONCERN THAT THIS WILL LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. NOTICING ON OTHER INTERNET SITES THAT PEOPLE HAVE CLAIMED THIS WAS AN ISS

WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR, IT FEELS LIKE I HAVE THE CRUISE CONTROL. THE CAR DECELERATE VERY SLOWLY FOR ANYWHERE BETWEEN .5 TO 1 MILE THEN THE RPM DROPS SUDDENLY AS IT SHOULD WHEN YOU FIRST TAKE YOUR FOOT OF THE PEDAL. THE OTHER RELATED PROBLEM IS THAT IF I'M JUST TRYING TO MAINTAIN A CONSTANT SPEED ANYWHERE BETWEEN 50 AND 60 MILES/HR IT FEELS LIKE THE ENGINE STALLS FOR A VERY BRIEF MOMENT THEN SHORTLY AFTER COMES BACK TO THE ORIGINAL RPM. WHEN I DRIVE CAR DOWN HILL TRY TO APPLY BREAK TO MAINTAIN THE SPEED OF THE CAR ACCELERATION INCREASES SUDDENLY 3 TO 4 THOUSAND RPM AND AFTER 3 TO 4 SECONDS CARS COME TO NORMAL ENGINE RPM BOTH PROBLEMS DESCRIBE ABOVE ARE EASILY REPRODUCIBLE AND MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER SAID ITS NORMAL. ITS VERY SCARY TO DRIVE THIS CAR AND SINCE 3 YEARS I WAS COMPLAINING TO LOCAL DEALER AND GET SAME ANSWER EVERY TIME ITS NORMAL. PLEASE DO SOME THING ABOUT THIS. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS CAR AS A NEW VEHICLE. EVER SINCE I HAVE HAD IT THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN ACCELERATION ISSUE TO WHERE IT DOES NOT SLOW DOWN FOR SEVERAL SECONDS AFTER RELEASING YOUR FOOT FROM THE GAS. IT ACCELERATES OFTEN TO WHERE YOU HAVE TO APPLY THE BRAKES FIRMLY TO WHERE THE ANTI LOCK THEN KICKS IN. DURING SERVICING IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY HAVE CONTINUED TO SAY THAT THERE IS NOT AN ISSUE. I HAVE HAD OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS OPERATE MY VEHICLE TO VERIFY THAT THIS ISSUE IS IN FACT AN ISSUE AND THEY EXPERIENCED THE SAME SITUATION. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND WILL END UP COSTING SOMEONE THEIR LIFE DUE TO THE MANUFACTURERS DRAGGING THEIR FEET ON ADDRESSING THE ISSUE. *TR

IT WAS A FOUR CAR PILE UP. A CAR THAT WAS TWO CARS IN FRONT OF ME SUDDENLY STOPPED AND CAUSE TRAFFIC TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, NOBODY WAS HIT AT FIRST. A BLACK TRUCK DID NOT REALIZE TRAFFIC HAD STOPPED AND HAD A LOT OF SPEED ON HIM AND CRASHED INTO A VAN THAT WAS BEHIND ME WHICH CRASHED INTO MY TOYOTA COROLLA WHICH CAUSED ME TO RUN INTO THE SUBURBAN IN FRONT OF ME. MY CAR AND THE VAN WHO HIT ME WERE TOTALLED OUT, BUT DURING THE WRECK MY AIR BAG NEVER DEPLOYED AND THE GUY WHO WORKED AT THE TOWING PLACE SAID HE DOES NOT SEE WHY MY AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. HE SAID IT SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. *TR

I WAS APPROACHING A FOUR WAY STOP AT THE APPROPRIATE SPEED LIMIT OF 35MPH BEFORE THE IMPACT. AS I WAS GETTING CLOSER, I WENT AHEAD AND DECELERATED. I'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES IN THE PAST. AS I GOT CLOSER TO THE STOP SIGN, IN A BLINK OF AN EYE, I WAS BEING DRAGGED BY A LARGE CHEVY HEAVY DUTY TRUCK ACROSS THE INTERSECTION. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY EITHER. THE IMPACT COMPLETELY DISMANTLED MY FRONT END. AFTER THE PARAMEDICS AND FIRE FIGHTERS ARRIVE, I WAS RUSHED TO THE ER FOR REPORTED BACK AND NECK INJURIES. I WAS LOOKED OVER AND WAS DISCHARGED BARELY BEING ABLE TO WALK. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP QUITE A DISTANCE AWAY FROM MY HOME. MY INSURANCE SAID THE SHOP COULD BE TRUSTED. I ASKED OVER 20 PEOPLE AND EACH PERSON SAID THAT THE DAMAGE FROM THIS CAR HAS TO RESULT IN BEING TOTALED. THE MECHANIC SAID OTHERWISE. HE BEGAN WORKING ON THE CAR WITHOUT MY CONSENT AND DEMANDED; THREATENED MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO PAY HIM $4,000 FOR A FEW DAYS OF WORK AND $7,000 LATER ON. THIS WAS AFTER I HAD ALREADY SPOKEN WITH MY INSURANCE TO FILE THIS CAR AS BEING TOTALED. THE MECHANIC THREATENED FOR MONEY SAYING HE HAD ALREADY STARTED ON THE CAR WHEN HE NEVER EVEN TOUCHED IT AFTER 3 WEEKS. I USED TO TRUST TOYOTA VEHICLES, BUT AFTER THIS ACCIDENT I'M NEVER BUYING ANOTHER TOYOTA AGAIN. THE EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAM SAID IT WAS A MIRACLE THAT I WAS ALIVE. MY COMPLAINT IS THE AIRBAGS AND BRAKES FAILED TO DO THEIR JOB. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WITH THE BRAKES ENGAGED, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AFTER THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE LEVER WAS SHIFTED INTO PARK. THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE HAD TO BE TURNED OFF IN ORDER FOR THE ACCELERATION TO STOP. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000. UPDATED 01/12/15*LJ

I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 20-25 MPH WHEN I FELT THE STEERING WHEEL GET OUT OF CONTROL I TRIED TO STEER IT IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION BUT IT JUST STEERED TO THE RIGHT AND AT THE MOMENT THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND I COULDN'T CONTROL THE CAR CAUSING ME TO RUN INTO A SIDE WALK AND ALMOST HITTING A POLE ALSO THE ACCIDENT CAUSED MY WHOLE WHEEL AND SUSPENSION TO COMPLETELY BREAK ALSO THE CV DRIVE SHAFT CAME OFF NO ONE WAS HURT BUT I AM REALLY CONCERNED THAT IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY ROAD THERE COULD HAVE BEEN CASUALTIES AND I WANT A RESPONSE FROM TOYOTA AND HELP BECAUSE THIS IS VERY UNFORTUNATE. *TR

2011 TOYOTA COROLLA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO AIR BAG ON- OFF SWITCH. *TGW THE CONSUMER REQUESTED AN AIR BAG ON-OFF SWITCH, DUE TO A MEDICAL CONDITION. *JB

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW TOYOTA COROLLA 2011 RIGHT OFF THE LOT AND THE CALIPER BEGAN SEIZING. THE CAR WOULD THRUST TO THE LEFT WHILE BRAKING AT HIGH SPEEDS. THE CALIPER WAS REPLACED BY TOYOTA UNDER WARRANTY, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM HAS BEGAN RECURRING INTERMITTENTLY NOW AT 60,000 MILES. *TR

IM WRITING TO LET NOTICE OF A POSSIBLE DEFECT IN MY CAR. AT ABOUT 33000 MILES MY CLUTCH RELEASE BEARING STARTED TO MAKE NOISE. DEALER REPLACED IT. AT ABOUT 44000 MILES IT BEGAN TO MAKE SAME NOISE. DEALER REPLACED CLUTCH RELEASE BEARING AND PRESSURE PLATE. CONSIDERING IT FAILED TWICE, I BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE RELEASE BEARINGS ON THIS VEHICLE. I SEARCHED FOR COMPLAINTS ON GOOGLE AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE ALSO REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM. I ALSO BELIEVE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE RELEASE BEARING COULD SEIZED UP AND FAILURE COULD BE DANGEROUS. TRANSMISSION MIGHT GET STUCK IN ONE GEAR. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND IM WRITING ONLY TO INFORM OF A POTENTIAL FAULTY DESIGN IN A PART, CONSIDERING ALL THE REPORTED PROBLEMS ON FORUMS ON GOOGLE SEARCH ENGINE, PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, AND IT COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I WAS GOING TO AN ATM AT ABOUT 8 MPH WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATED AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP IT BY PRESSING THE BRAKE. THE CAR JUMPED A CURB, WENT THROUGH A HEDGE TO A FIELD, UP A HILL, HEADING AT 90 DEGREES TO A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY. I MANAGED TO STEER THE CAR TO GO PARALLEL TO THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE CAR REACHED THE HIGHWAY CURB. THE CAR THEN STOPPED. THREE TIRES WERE BLOWN AND THE CAR INCURRED BODY DAMAGE. *TR

I WAS HIT BY A HONDA VAN RUNNING A REDLIGHT HIT ME RIGHT ON THE FRONT PASSANGER SIDE CAR SPEND 360 NONE OF THE AIRBAG WAS DEPLOY THE DAMAGE TO THE CAR WAS NOT FIXABLE IT A TOTAL LOSS TO THE CAR BUT NONE THE THE AIRBAGE WAS DEPLOY THE VAN THAT HIT ME WAS GOING BETWEEN 30 TO 40 MILES. *TR.....UPDATED 12/17/15 *BF *JS

I NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE FLOOR MAT MOVED TO THE FRONT AND I AM AFRAID THAT THE FLOORMAT COULD JAM THE GAS PEDAL LIKE IT HAPPENED BEFORE. TO MY KNOWLEDGE THERE HAVE BEEN FATALITIES DUE TO GAS PEDALS JAMMED BY THE FLOORMAT ON PREVIOUS TOYOTA MODELS. TOYOTA CLAIMED THAT THE FLOOR MAT ISSUE WAS ADDRESSED BUT THE 2 CLIPS WHICH ARE SUPPOSED TO SECURE THE FLOORMAT ARE NOT STRONG ENOUGH. MY VEHICLE WAS NOT EVEN 3 YEARS OLD WHEN I FIRST NOTICED THAT THE FLOOR MAT CAN'T BE SECURED ANYMORE. THE TWO TINY PLASTIC HOOKS ARE BENT AND DON'T HOLD THE FLOOR MAT IN PLACE. *TR

SHAKING OF CAR AND SWEAKY BRAKES

ONCE A MONTH OR SO WHEN I AM AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE CAR DOES NOT DECELERATE AS NORMAL WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL. THE CAR TEND TO STAYS AT THE SPEED IT WAS AT UNTIL I USE THE BREAK. IT IS ALMOST LIKE THE CRUISE CONTROL HAS BEEN TURNED ON WITHOUT NOTICE (IT IS NEVER TURNED ON DURING THESE CASES). THIS SOMETIMES INCLUDES THE SLIGHT ACCELERATION LIKE SOME CAR GET WHEN THEY ARE GOING BACK ON CRUISE CONTROL. LUCKILY I KEEP A GOOD DISTANCE BETWEEN ME AND THE CAR AHEAD OF ME. I CAN SEE THIS ISSUES CAUSING ACCIDENTS. *TR

THE FIRST ACCIDENT WAS IN JUNE 29 2012, WHILE I WAS DRIVING 10 MILES AN HOUR (FOR TRANSIT) THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED AND I TRY TO STOP AS WELL BUT MY CAR DIDN'T STOP (INCREASE ITS SPEED) AND I CRASHED IN THE BACK OF THE CAR (I REMAIN SURPRISED, DID NOT KNOW WHAT HAD HAPPENED). THE SECOND ACCIDENT HAPPENED ON DECEMBER THE 28TH OF 2012, AROUND 2:00 PM, I WAS IN MY WAY TO NEW JERSEY, 2 MILES AWAY FROM THE WASHINGTON BRIDGE; THERE WAS A TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME AND I WAS NOT MOVING AND PUSHING THE BRAKES BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN MY VEHICLE STARTED GOING FORWARD SO I USED THE HAND BRAKE TRYING TO STOP IT; BUT MY CAR STILL CRASH THE OTHER CAR ON THE BACK. I BOUGHT THIS CAR ZERO MILES FROM YOUR DEALER (HUDSON TOYOTA) AND I AM VERY UPSET AND DISAPPOINTED! THIS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN TO ME IF THE CAR WOULD BE IN PERFECT CONDITIONS!!, I AM ALWAYS WORRY DRIVING IT, I DON'T KNOW WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN!! I TAKE THE CAR TO TOYOTA'S DECEMBER 29, 2012, REVISED IT AND SAID IT DID NOT FIND ANYTHING, WAS HIS REPLY IN MARCH 28 OF 2013. NOW I AM IN TROUBLE BECAUSE I USED TO PAY $700 EVERY SIX MONTHS FOR MY CAR INSURANCE AND NOW THEY RAISE IT TO $ 1,300.00 EVERY SIX MONTHS. -EN ESPANOL EN JUNIO 29 2012 ESTABA MANEJANDO HACIA CASA HABIA TRANSITO E IBA A 10 MILLAS DE VELOCIDAD, DE UN MOMENTO A OTRO EL AUTO ACELERO Y CHOQUE AL AUTO DELENTE MIO, NO NTENDI QUE HABIA PASADO, QUEDE SORPRENDIDO, TUVE QUE USAR MI SEGURO.

ON APRIL 19TH, 2014, AT ABOUT 1:30 PM, MYSELF AND MY WIFE LEFT OUR FRIEND'S HOME IN LOS ALTOS HILLS, CA. AS WE LEFT THE DRIVEWAY AT ABOUT 5 MPH ON BAKER LN, THE CAR WENT INTO A SUDDEN, UNCONTROLLABLE ACCELERATION MODE, REACHING SPEEDS 50 - 60 MPH. WITHIN ABOUT 1000 - 1500 FT WE APPROACHED A THE INTERSECTION OF BAKER LN AND PURISSIMA RD., ALL THE WHILE DESPERATELY TRYING TO PRESS THE BRAKE, APPLYING HAND BRAKE AND SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL. AGAINST THIS SUDDEN BURST OF ACCELERATION, THE CAR WENT OFF THE ROAD AT THAT INTERSECTION, AND FELL INTO A DITCH AND STOPPED BY A TREE TRUNK. BOTH OF US WERE INJURED WITH MULTIPLE INTERNAL/ EXTERNAL FRACTURES, BUT WE WERE CONSCIOUS; MY WIFE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT HAD MORE GRIEVOUS INJURIES, INCLUDING AN OPEN WOUND OF BROKEN BONE IN ANKLE AND SEVERE SPINAL CORD INJURIES, AND WAS SCREAMING WITH PAIN. ONCE I COLLECTED MYSELF, I CALLED 911 AND THE FD/ PARAMEDICS RESPONDED AND WE WERE HAULED FROM THE DITCH BY CUTTING OPEN THE CAR DOORS. WE WERE TRANSPORTED TO STANFORD MEDICAL CENTER IN PALO ALTO, AFTER WHICH WE WERE SHIFTED TO OUR HMO, AFTER ABOUT 10 DAYS IN ICU. I AM NOW DISCHARGED AND REHABILITATING/ GETTING PHYSICAL THERAPY AT HOME, WHILE MY WIFE IS STILL AT A REHAB CENTER, OVER 10 WEEKS AFTER THE ACCIDENT. AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT, THE WEATHER, VISIBILITY AND ROAD CONDITIONS WERE EXCELLENT; BOTH OF US HAD OUR SEAT BELTS FIRMLY IN PLACE; NO CELL PHONE WAS BEING USED; I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND OFF THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE TIME; AIR BAGS DEPLOY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA COROLLA.

2011 TOYOTA COROLLA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE SUDDEN ACCELERATION. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN HE REMOVED HIS FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR, THE ENGINE WOULD SOMETIMES CONTINUE RUNNING AT THE SAME RPM, NOT DECREASING AND COASTING AS HE WOULD EXPECT. AS TIME PROGRESSED, THE ISSUE BECAME MORE FREQUENT AND THE DECREASE IN RPM SOMETIMES CAME 30 SECONDS AFTER PRESSURE WAS LIFTED FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. *JB

I REAR ENDED A TRUCK FULL BUMPER TO FULL BUMPER COLLISION GOING ABOUT 25-30MPH. MY ENTIRE FRONT END WAS CRUSHED, RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION BUSTED, AND FRONT BUMPER PULLED OFF, AND INSIDE CAR UNDER STEERING WHEEL HAD BEEN SLIGHTLY PUSHED OUT TOWARDS DRIVER SEAT. MY CAR WAS TOTALED. I BUSTED THE WINDSHIELD WITH MY HEAD WHEN I HIT IT GIVING ME A CONCUSSION AND HAD CONTUSIONS TO MY CHEST FROM HITTING STEERING WHEEL, AND CONTUSION AND SPRAIN TO MY RIGHT HAND. NO ONE INCLUDING POLICE, FIREMEN, AMBULANCE, AND WRECKING YARD COULD BELIEVE MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. MY HUSBAND AND I CONTACTED TOYOTA ABOUT THIS AND THEY ASSURED ME IT SHOULD NOT HAVE DEPLOYED AND SENT ME AN EMAIL LINK TO READ DESCRIBING WHEN AIR BAGS SHOULD DEPLOY. WHEN I CALLED BACK AFTER READING THE EMAIL AND TOLD THE MAN WHAT THE EMAIL SAID AND THAT MY AIR BAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED HE CALLED ME A LIAR, AND SAID THAT WAS NOT WHAT THE EMAIL SAID. MY HUSBAND THEN CALLED AND REQUESTED INFORMATION FROM EDR BE DOWNLOADED AND READ. TOYOTA NEVER RETURNED OUR PHONE CALL AND NEVER RETRIEVED INFORMATION FROM EDR, AND NOW INSURANCE HAS TAKEN POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE AND IT IS GONE. A MONTH LATER WE STILL HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A RETURN PHONE CALL OR EXPLANATION FROM TOYOTA. *TR

THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY FORCE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 500.

I CAME TO AN INTERSECTION AND STOPPED, THEN TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE BEFORE NOTICING THAT THE LIGHT WAS STILL RED. THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS ROUGHLY 30 FEET AWAY WHEN I PUSHED ON THE BRAKES. I SHOULD HAVE EASILY BEEN ABLE TO STOP. BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE AND I HAD BEEN PUSHING THEM SO HARD AND FOR SO LONG THAT I FRACTURED MY ANKLE. THERE WERE NOT EVEN SKID MARKS AT THE ACCIDENT SCENE. MY CAR HAD FRONT END FRAME DAMAGE FROM THE ACCIDENT (TOTALED), AND THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. ADDITIONALLY, IN THE PAST I HAD NOTICED THE RPMS RISING FOR NO REASON WHILE CAR WAS IDLING, AND THE ACCELERATION ISSUE, WHERE THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO ?HANG? BETWEEN SPEEDS OF ABOUT 35 AND 40 AND 60 AND 65MPH. THE RPMS I ONLY NOTICED ONCE-SO I DID NOT REPORT IT, AND THE ?HANGING? WAS MY OWN IGNORANCE (I HAVEN?T HAD A 4 CYLINDER IN A LONG TIME AND THIS WAS MY FIRST?AND PROBABLY LAST?TOYOTA). I ALSO HAD PRIOR BRAKING CONCERNS-- ABS ONLY MADE A NOISE (DID NOT VIBRATE AGAINST PEDAL--AGAIN, MY IGNORANCE OF HOW THIS VEHICLE WAS SUPPOSED TO RESPOND) AND IT WAS A VERY ICY WINTER, SO I ASSUMED THAT I HAD BEEN TRYING TO STOP ON ICE. THE BRAKES BEHAVED FINE IF I PHYSICALLY PUMPED THEM, BUT SUDDEN STOPS COULD NOT BE MADE. *TR

WELL THE ACCIDENT HASN'T HAPPENED YET, BUT IT COULD BE RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER IF THE DEALERSHIP DOESN'T FIX THIS. WHEN I LET OFF THE GAS AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 40-60 MPH. IT SEEMS AS THOUGHT THE CRUISE IS ON. THE CAR DOES NOT DECELERATE NORMALLY. IF THERE IS A SLIGHT SLOPE DOWN IT EVEN PICKS UP SPEED, I HAVE TO SLAM THE BREAK REALLY HEARD TO SLOW DOWN THE CAR ITS REALLY SCARY WHEN I GO DOWN HILL. IT'S STILL GETTING FUEL EVEN THOUGH YOU DON'T HAVE YOUR FOOT ON THE PEDAL. IT CAN TAKE A FEW MIN OR SEVERAL MILES BEFORE IT KICKS OFF THE GAS AND ACTS NORMALLY. I BUY THIS CAR BRAND NEW IN APRIL 2011 SINCE THEN EVERY TIME I WENT FOR SERVICE I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE PROBLEM I GOT REPLY ITS NORMAL IF THIS IS NORMAL THEN WHAT IS ABNORMAL. RIGHT NOW ON MY CAR I HAVE 34000 MILES. SO PLEASE MAKE IT AS RECALL AND FIX THE PROBLEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *TR

WHEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY OR HIGHWAY AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED THE CAR WILL DRIFT TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT. WHEN I CORRECT THE STEERING IT THEN WILL OVER CORRECTS AND SEND ME OUT OF MY LANE. SO I NOW HAVE TO DRIVE WITH A FIRM GRIP ON THE MY STEERING WHEEL WHICH DOES NOT STOP THE ISSUE BUT HELPS ME TO MAKE CONSTANT LITTLE CORRECTS AT ALL TIMES. DRIVING HAS NEVER BEEN SO ANNOYING AND FRUSTRATING AND TERRIFYING ALL AT THE SAME TIME. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AS WELL AS MY 3 YEAR OLD SON'S SAFETY. THE NHTSA DID AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE STEERING OF THE 2009-2010 COROLLAS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE AND COULD HAVE SAVED US ALL THIS HASSLE THE FIRST GO AROUND. MAYBE AFTER A FEW MORE PEOPLE DIE AND THEY HIT A CERTAIN QUOTA THEY WILL DO SOMETHING ABOUT DEFECTIVE CARS THAT ARE LITERALLY STEERING THEMSELVES. I HAVE TAKEN MY 2011 COROLLA INTO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT 4 TIMES FOR THIS SAME ISSUE AND THEY JUST TELL ME THAT IT'S THE WIND AND THE ROAD CAUSING MY STEERING ISSUES. YET WHEN I TAKE TO AN OUTSIDE SERVICE CENTER JUST TO VERIFY THE STEERING ISSUE, THEIR TECHS HAVE NO PROBLEM NOTICING WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. BACK IN 2010 THE CEO OF TOYOTA STATED HE WOULD FIX THE ISSUE FREE OF CHARGE FOR ANY CUSTOMER STATING THEY HAD A PROBLEM. OF COURSE THIS WAS WITH FOREGOING THE RECALL. SO NOW THAT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE CLAIM TO HAVE ISSUES, THEY ARE BEING TURNED AWAY AT SERVICE CENTERS. AND WHEN THEY TRY TO SUE TO SELL BACK THEIR CAR, TOYOTA FINDS A WAY OUT OF THAT TOO. STEERING ISSUES ARE BEING FOUND IN COROLLA F
