2016 Toyota Corolla complaints

VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, OUR TOYOTA WAS REAR ENDED BY A KIA WHOS DRIVER FOOT SLIPPED OFF THE BRAKE. OUR SEAT BELT DID NOT LOCK AND CAUSED MY DAUGHTER TO HIT HER HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL. SHE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A CONCUSSION AND IS STILL SUFFERING 3 WEEKS AFTER TREATMENTS WITH INJECTIONS AND MUSCLE RELAXERS GIVEN BY A NEUROLOGIST

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2016 TOYOTA COROLLA. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS WITH THE ACCLERATOR PEDAL DEDEPRESSED, THE ENGINE REVVED BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE IN A TIMELY MANNER. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA OF YORK (1885 WHITEFORD RD, YORK, PA 17402, (717) 755-2961) WHERE NO DIAGNOSTIC FAILURE CODES WERE FOUND AND THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT AN ACCELERATION DELAY WAS EXPERIENCED AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS DESIGNED TO OPERATE IN THAT MANNER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED VIA EMAIL AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 1712081065. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

BEEN WAITING FOR DEALERS TO FIX THE RECALLS MY CAR HAS, THEY SAY THEY WILL CALL WHEN THEY RECEIVE PARTS. STILL WAITING.

WHEN GOING OVER SMALL BUMPS, DITCHES, OR ANY ABRASIONS MY BRAKES SKID AND KEEPS GOING AND I HAVE TO SWERVE OR GO AROUND TO FIND SOLID ROAD TO STOP MY CAR. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME NOT OCCASIONALLY. I'VE HAD MY BRAKES INSPECTED BY PEP BOY, AND MY PERSONAL MECHANICS THAT I TRUST AND THEY SAY THE BRAKES AND ROTORS ARE PERFECT. I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S THE CAUSE. IT'S BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I GOT THE VEHICLE, I FIGURED I SHOULD JUST DRIVE SLOW BUT IT DOESN'T HELP AND I RECENTLY ALMOST REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE DUE TO THE ISSUE.

I WAS PULLING IN TO PARKING SPACE AT A VERY LOW SPEED. MY CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE AND LUNGED INTO PARED CAR IN FRONT OF ME. CAUSING DAMAGE TO OTHER CAR AND MINE. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE BUT IT DIDINT STOP THE CAR. A COUPLE IF DAYS BEFORE THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY HUSBAND WHEN HE WAS PULLING INTO PARKING PLACE AND CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE AND LUNGED FORWARD. WE GOT BACK THE RESULTS FROM TOYOTA AND THE SAID THEIR WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THEY WON'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CAR. WE ARE LEFT WITH A CAR THAT WE ARE TO AFRAID TO DRIVE. WE KNOW THAT IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN BUT JUST DON'T KNOW WHEN.

MY SRS AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON OUT OF NOWHERE. SHORTLY AFTER THAT MY STEERING WHEEL CONTINUALLY CLICKS WHEN I TURN IT. AND WITHIN THE SAME DAY NOW MY HORN STOPPED WORKING AS WELL AS ALL OF THE BUTTONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL NO LONGER WORK INCLUDING THE CRUISE CONTROL. THE LIGHT NEVER WENT AWAY AND THE FUNCTIONS OF THE STEERING WHEEL NO LONGER WORK WHEN THERE IS NO CAUSE OR REASON FOR THIS TO HAPPEN.

THE CAR START UP TO BEHAVE DIFFERENT BEFORE 5.000 MILES.WHEN ACCELERATING THE CAR WAS GETTING FIRST VERY HIGH RPM,BEFORE STARTING TO PICK UP SPEED,EXPERIENCING SOME IMPORTANT DELAYS IN RESPONSE.I WAS TRYING TO ADDRESS THIS WITH TOYOTA OF YORK AND THE SPECIALISTS EXPLAINED TO ME ABOUT PRINCIPLES OF CVT TRANSMISSION AND I WAS PUSHED BACK.AT 10.000 AND 15.000 MILES THE CAR BECAME QUITE LAZY AND I JUST HAD TO GO BACK TO THE SERVICES AS THE RPM'S WERE NOT NORMAL. FINALLY THE COMPUTER WAS RESET AND I START UP TO RECOGNIZE THE CAR. IN ABOUT 3 WEEKS THE CAR START UP TO HAVE AGAIN SOME IMPORTANT DELAYS IN RESPONSE. BACK TO THE SERVICE - THE ISSUE WAS NOT RECOGNIZED THE MECHANICS TRYING TO CONVINCE ME AGAIN ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF CVT TRANSMISSION...I WAS NEVER INFORMED OR ASKED IF I WILL BE INTERESTED TO BUY A CAR WITH CVT TRANSMISSION BUT NOW I START UP TO READ AND GET FAMILIAR WITH IT TRYING TO ACCOMMODATE AND FEEL BETTER ABOUT WHAT I GOT.BEFORE 25.000 I WAS CLOSE TO BE INVOLVED IN 2 INCIDENTS WHEN MY CAR HAD MAJOR DELAY IN RESPONSE-TRYING TO AVOID AND GET OUT OF A SITUATION, MY CAR FIRST GOT TO VERY HIGH RPM AND ONLY AFTER THAT, DECIDED TO ACCELERATE, WHICH I FIND VERY UNSAFE AND I GOT PANICKED.IN BOTH SITUATIONS I REALIZE THAT THIS CAR IS NOT ABLE TO GET ME OUT OF AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. AROUND 25.000MILES I DISCUSSED AGAIN WITH THE MECHANICS, THIS TIME EXPLAINING SAFETY CONCERNS.THE MECHANICS WERE SYMPATHETIC WITH WHAT I EXPERIENCE BUT AGAIN I WAS TOLD THAT I CAN NOT EXPECT MORE FR

AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR FEW MINUTES, A BURNING SMELL OF RUBBER/PLASTIC IS COMING. THE SMELL ONLY STARTS ONCE STARTED O DRIVE THE CAR, OR WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION REGARDLESS OF CITY OR HIGHWAY DRIVING. THE SMELL IS NOT DETECTED IF THE CAR IS STARTED AND JUST GETTING WARMED UP IN A STATIONARY POSITION. THE SMELL SEEMS TO BE STRONGER FROM PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR

I HAD EASED IN MY PARKING SPACE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR STARTED TO EXCELERATE AND LUNGED FORWARD AND HIT THE PARKED CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO BUT WATCH HELPLESSLY. IT'S WAS LIKE THE CAR HAD A MIND OF ITS OWN. I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED. I DID PUT MY FOOT ON BRAKE IT DIDINT HELP.IT WAS 10: 15 AM. I WAS PRAKING TO PICK UP MY DOG FROM GROOMER. IT WAS ON 10/24/17. IT WAS A CLEAR MILD MORNING.I NOTIFIED OUR INSURANCE TO REPORT DAMAGE TO MY BUMPER AND THE OTHER CARS BUMPER. THEN CALLED TOYOTA DEALER AND TOOK OUR CAR IN TO TOYOGA. THEY GAVE ME A NUMBER TO CALL TO REPORT THIS AND MAKE A CLAIM. NOW WE ARE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GO AND INSPECT OUR CAR. MY HUSBAND HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO HIM JUST A FEW DAYS EARILER WHERE CAR EXCELERATED, AND HE HAD TO PUT ON EMERGENCY BRAKE.WE BOTH KNOW IT WAS NOT ANYTHING WE DID BUT IT WAS THE CARS FAULT.VERY SCARED TO EVER GET IN THAT CAR AGAIN.

FAULTY AIRBAGS

THE WINDSHIELD SUDDENLY DARKENED FROM THE TOP TO ABOUT HALFWAY DOWN ( RIGHT IN YOUR LINE OF VISION). THIS HAPPENED AT NIGHT , INCLUDING DURING A RAINSTORM. IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE DRIVING IN A DARK CAVE OR A PLACE WHERE YOUR VISIBILITY IS HINDERED. IT APPEARS THAT THE TINTING OF THE WINDSHIELD IS TOO DARK. THIS ONLY HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION.

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THAT WAS NOT MY FAULT I WAS IN A ROAD WHERE THE SPEED LIIMIT WAS 25-35 MPH. MOSTLY A STRAIGHT ROAD A FEW SLIGHT CURVES. A CAR CAME OVER INTO MY LANE AND CAUSED ME TO SWERVE OUT OF THE WAY TO AVOID HITTING THAT PERSON HEAD ON. I WENT INTO A DITCH FULL OF HUGE ROCKS. THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED WHICH IN MY OPINION TFHEY SHOULD HAD, BUT FROM WHAT I HEAR IT MAY HAVE CAUSED EVEN MORE DAMAGE. ANYWAYS I COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE CAR WHO SWERVED INTO MY LANE. MY CAR WAS DAMAGED IT HIT STRAIGHT FORWARD INTO THE HUGE ROCKS. I WAS PRETTY SORE BUT DID NOT GO TO THE ER. MY CAR HAD A PRETTY GOOD AMOUNT OF DAMAGE BUT LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT OUT OF THE DITCH. IT BUSTED UP THE FRONT OF MY CAR NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDED, AND CAUSED QUITE THE DAMAGE TO MY FRONT PASSENGER TIRE. NORMALLY MY 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WOULD HAD BEEN RIIDING ON THAT SIDE. LUCKILY SHE WASN'T THAT DAY.

I HAVE BEEN IN TWO ACCIDENTS WHERE BOTH TIMES I WAS RAN OFF THE ROAD INTO A DITCH. IN NEITHER ACCIDENT DID ANY OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY BUT I DEFINITELY HIT HARD ENOUGH IN WHICH THEY SHOULD HAD. ONE TIME MY CHILD WAS IN THE BACK SEAT. I HIT A DITCH FILLED WITH HUGE ROCKS THE FIRST ACCIDENT WAS SETTLED AT OVER $1700 AND THE 2ND ACCIDENT IS STILL IN THE CLAIMS PORTION OF THE ACCIDENT, WHERE I WAS RAN OFF THE ROAD. THE AIR BAGS SHOULD HAD DEPLOYED BUT FROM THE NEGATIVE PUBLICITY IT MAY HAD CAUSED MORE DAMAGE, AND THATBIS VERY SCARY TO THINK ABOUT SEEING THAT MY 5 YEAR OLD WAS INVOLVED IN ONE OF THE ACCIDENTS. THE ACCIDENT WAS ON A ROAD WITH A SPEED LIMIT OF 35-40 MPH WITH NO STOP SIGNS OR STOP LIGHTS UNTIL THE END OF THE ESTIMATED 2 MILE ROAD.

ALL FOUR OEM TOYO PROXES PLUS4 TIRES DETERMINED DEFECTIVE BY TOYOTA DEALER PRESTIGE NJ, DUE TO SEPARATION OF LINER IN ALL 4 TIRES, VEHICLE MILEAGE AT TIME OF FAILURE LESS THAN 18K MILES. TOYO WOULD ONLY PRORATE TIRES, COST OVER $200.00 TO HAVE ALMOST NEW TIRES REPLACE. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO BY NHTSA ASAP.

I WAS DRIVING SOUTHBOUND ON THE I-5 GOING 75 MPH WHEN I VEERED OFF THE ROAD INTO A DITCH. THE ENTIRE VEHICLE IS DAMAGED, ESPECIALLY THE FRONT END. THE VEHICLE IS TOTALED AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. EMS TOOK ME TO THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE I HAD HORRIBLE CHEST PAIN AND IT WAS HARD TO BREATHE. I HAD TO SPEND THE NIGHT IN THE HOSPITAL SO THAT THEY COULD MONITOR MY CHEST BECAUSE I NOW HAVE A BROKEN MY STERNUM. THE DOCTORS TOLD ME THAT IF MY AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, I WOULD NOT HAVE BROKEN MY STERNUM.

ON WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 30TH 2017 AT APPROXIMATELY 3:00PM I WAS TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE 459 NORTH IN THE FAR-RIGHT LANE AND HIT A LARGE POTHOLE ABOUT 150 YARDS BEFORE I-65 OVERPASS. AFTER SWERVING TO MAINTAIN CONTROL I PULLED OVER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER AND CALLED TOYOTA CARE (ROADSERVICE). THE EVENT I EXPERIENCE CAUSED A BENT WHEEL RIM AND FLAT TIRE. I AM REQUESTING A REIMBURSEMENT OF MY COST TO REPLACE MY WHEEL RIM AND TIRE. THE POTHOLES WERE FILLED BY THE TIME I WAS ABLE TO TAKE PICTURES ON SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 3RE 2017.

THE WINDOWS ARE NOT AIRTIGHT, I HEAR THE WIND AS I DRIVE MY CAR DOWN THE INTERSTATE WHICH I CONSIDER A DISTRACTION. ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHERE THE DASHBOARD MEETS THE WINDSHIELD, THERE IS A STRIP OF A STYROFOAM TYPE OF MATERIAL SHOWING. IT APPEARS IT IS COMING OUT OF THE DASHBOARD IT IS APPROXIMATELY 2-4" LONG ALONG THE DASHBOARD.

TAKATA RECALL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2016 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE HYDROPLANED AND CRASHED INTO THE MEDIAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED AN INJURY TO THE BACK THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW YARD. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, IT FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO SHEEHY TOYOTA OF FREDERICKSBURG (3507 JEFFERSON DAVIS HWY, FREDERICKSBURG, VA 22408 (540) 710-8500) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP AND RELAY WIRING HAD BEEN CHEWED. THE WIRING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALER BEING REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THE WIRING WAS MADE OF A SOY BASED MATERIAL VERSUS A PETROLEUM BASED MATERIAL, WHICH ATTRACTED RODENTS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 10,000.

ACCIDENT DUE TO BREAKS LOCKING AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO ROLL. BACK SEAT PASSENGER SEAT BELT DID NOT LOCK CAUSING PASSENGER TO FLY FORWARD AND BACK; INJURED BREAST BONE DRIVER AIR BAG FROM STEERING WHEEL DID NOT INFLATE FULLY.

I HAD AN ACCIDENT ON MAECH FIRST AND THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T GO OUT

THE CAR WAS INVOLVED IN THE ACCIDENT WITH ALL THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED,DATE OF CRASH APR.16,2016 AT 10.25 PM.HSMV REPORT 385303651,I FEEL THE AIRBAGS DID NOT PROTECT ME PROPERLY,AND I WOULD LIKE TO BE ADDED TO AUCTION CLASS LAW SUITE.

SEVERAL TIMES THE SEAT BELT CHIME WOULDN'T STOP ALTHOUGH SEAT BELT CONNECTED. BRAKES SCREECHING WHEN TRYING TO COME TO A STOP. TOOK MORE EFFORT THAN SHOULD FOR BRAKES TO STOP THE CAR. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, I HAD ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR TWO DAYS. THE SECOND TIME IT OCCURRED WAS RIGHT AFTER THE 5000 MILE MAINTENANCE SERVICE. IT HAPPENED TWO TIMES AFTERWARDS AND ONE TIME TODAY. I WAS DRIVING ANY WHERE FROM 25 MPH TO 55 MPH. SO FAR I HAVE BEEN LUCKY BUT I AM BEGINNING TO BE AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENS WAS TODAY.

TOOK MY CAR IN TO HAVE 6MOS. INSPECTION DONE AND I REPORTED THAT I WAS SMELLING SOMETHING LIKE ROTTEN EGGS IN MY CAR. THIS HAPPENS AT LEAST 1-2 TIMES A MONTH AND IT HAPPENS AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR A WHILE. I AM DUE TO TAKE THE CAR IN AGAIN AND I WILL REPORT THAT THIS PROBLEM AGAIN. MY GRAND DAUGHTER WAS IN MY CAR AND SHE ASKED ME WHAT THAT SMELL WAS??? WHEN THIS HAPPENS MY CAR IS USUALLY IN THE PARK POSITION, BUT RUNNING. WHEN I FIRST REPORTED PROBLEM, THEY CK IT OUT AND SAID THAT THEY WOULD KEEP A CK ON THIS PROBLEM

ABOUT ONCE A MONTH FOR THE PAST 3 MONTHS, MY SPEEDOMETER HAS BEEN STUCK AT 0 FOR AT LEAST 15 OR 20 MINUTES OF MY DRIVE. AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES, IT SLOWLY STARTS TO INCREASE: IF I'M GOING WHAT I'D ASSUME IS 60 MPH, IT SHOWS AT 40 AND CLIMBING, AND ABOUT 20 MINUTES INTO MY COMMUTE, MY SPEEDOMETER APPEARS TO BE WORKING FINE. THIS ONLY APPEARS TO HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR HAS JUST BEEN STARTED. I TOOK IT TO AN AUTHORIZED TOYOTA DEALER, WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR ON LEASE, AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THAT MAKES SENSE, AS THIS ONLY HAPPENS ABOUT ONCE PER MONTH. THEY INDICATED THAT THEY CHECKED THE CAR'S COMPUTER AND NO ERROR CODES WERE FOUND, AND THAT THE SYSTEM IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN AWAY BY THE CONTACT. THERE WERE ONE INJURY THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 11,800.

I NOTICED A SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF MY 2016 TOYOTA COROLLA LE. I INITIALLY TOOK IT IN TO SEE WHERE THE SOUND WAS STEMMING FROM THE MECHANIC AT TOYOTA STATED THAT THE SOUND WAS NORMAL AND NO NEED TO HAVE CONCERN ABOUT THE NOISE IT WAS NORMAL WITHIN THESE MODELS OF COROLLAS. I LET THE DEALERSHIP WITH RELIEF BUT AS I DROVE BACK THE NOISE WAS LOUDER , SO I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK IN TO THE SAME SHOP LUTHER BROOKDALE TOYOTA WHERE THE MECHANIC STATED THE SOUND WAS NORMAL BUT THIS TIME THE MECHANIC SUGGESTED THAT THEY REPLACE THE STRUTS AND ALONG WITH THE STRUT MOUNTS. HE STATED THIS WOULD ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM AND THE SOUND WOULD GO AWAY BECAUSE HE AGREED THAT THE FRONT END SUSPENSION WAS INDEED FAULTY (HENCE). THAT'S WHY HE REPLACED THE STRUTS ALONG WITH THE MOUNTS. UPON REPLACING THE PART OF THE SUSPENSION THE SOUND PERSISTED. NOW BROOKDALE WHERE I WENT INITIALLY STATED THEY WHERE NO LONGER ABLE TO HELP ME WITH THE ISSUES KEEP IN MY THE CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY, SO I WENT TO WALSER TOYOTA WHERE THEY KEPT MY VEHICLE FOR OVER A WEEK TRYING TO REPAIR AND GET RID OF THE SOUND MY VEHICLE WAS MAKING AFTER THAT WEEK I WAS TOLD THEY CALLED A TOYOTA SPECIALIST OVER THE PHONE PLUS AFTER A WEEK I WAS TOLD THE SOUND WAS NORMAL NO FURTHER WORK NEEDED TO BE DONE I INQUIRED IF THE REP FROM TOYOTA HEARD THE SOUND OVER THE PHONE WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE THE TECH AT WALSER TOYOTA STATED YES HE HEARD THE SOUND OVER THE PHONE I WAS SHOCKED HOW CAN YOU DEEM A SOUND NORMAL VIA TELEPHONE , NOT HA

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 75MPH WHEN HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION-LIKE NOISE. IT TOOK A MOMENT TO REALIZE THAT MY SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED AND I WAS NOW SITTING IN A POOL OF GLASS SHARDS. I QUICKLY CLOSED THE GLASS COVERING AND GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY TO VACUUM THE INTERIOR. THERE WERE NO OBVIOUS FLYING BITS OF GRAVEL OR ROCKS OBSERVED. THE WEATHER WAS ABOUT 85DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. THERE WERE NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME, JUST ONE VEHICLE QUITE A DISTANCE BEHIND ME.

DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS, THE FRONT WINDSHIELD CAPTURES THE GLARE OFF THE DASH. EVERY DETAIL OF THE DASH (VENTS, GROOVES, ETC) IS CLEARLY REFLECTED ONTO THE GLASS BECAUSE OF THE GLASS ANGLE AND THE SLIGHTLY REFLECTIVE NATURE OF THE MATERIAL USED IN THE DASH ITSELF. THE REFLECTION MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE ANYTHING AHEAD. FOR EXAMPLE, I DIDN'T EVEN SEE A DEER STANDING AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD UNTIL AFTER I HAD PASSED IT. I BOUGHT SOME BLACK FELT FROM THE FABRIC STORE AND PLACED IT ACROSS THE ENTIRE DASH. THIS WORKS, HOWEVER, I NEED TO KEEP THE VENTS UNCOVERED, SO THAT ASPECT OF THE DASH REFECTION IS STILL OBSTRUCTING MY VIEW. NOT SURE IF THIS IS RECALL MATERIAL, BUT IT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND ALL OWNERS SHOULD RECEIVE A CUSTOM DASH MAT DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS DASHBOARD.

SEVERAL TIMES, I HAVE EXPERIENCED "BRAKE FAILURE" ALONG WITH A GRINDING NOISE. BRAKING SYSTEM MUST BE THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP SAYS EVERYTHING IS WORKING PROPERLY. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 2 TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE NEW CAR. THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS IN OCTOBER 2016 - WITH ONLY 1784 MILES. ON MAY 1, 2017; I APPLIED MY BRAKES UPON APPROACHING A "STOP SIGN". UNFORTUNATELY, THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR( I COULD FEEL THE GRINDING IN THE BRAKE PEDAL)AND THERE WAS A DELAY IN MY CAR COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, AGAIN. ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM. I DO NOT HAVE ANY WARNING WHEN THE BRAKES FAIL TO WORK. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER IF I AM TRAVELING AT A SLOW OR HIGHER RATE OF SPEED. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM. I AM VERY CONCERNED AND THE TOYOTA COMPANY DOESN'T SEEM TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

UPON ENTERING MY CARPORT, WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE CAR SUDDENLY LURCHED FORWARD SEVERAL FEET, NEARLY COLLIDING WITH A CONCRETE WALL.MY CONCERN IS: WHEN WILL THIS OCCUR IN STREET TRAFFIC AND CAUSE A FATALITY?

THIS IS A NEW VEHICLE THERE HAS BEEN MANY TIMES THE BRAKES DELAY BEFORE STOPPING. THIS TIME THE CAR ACCIDENT. I HAD ENOUGH TIME TO BRAKE 4 THE CAR TO DTOP BUT THE BRAKE SCREECH AND WOULD NOT STOP UNTILL COLLISION. IN NOVEMBER THE VEHICLE BROKE DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY, TOYOTA SAID THE VEHICLE SPARK NEEDED CHANGING.

WHEN I DROVE MY CAR INTO MY GARAGE, THE CAR ACCELERATED AND SMASHED INTO MY BACK GARAGE WALL (A LOAD BEARING WALL), COMPLETELY DETACHING IT FROM THE TOP AND BOTTOM. I DECIDED TO BACK UP THE CAR A FOOT FOR CLEARANCE FOR ME INTO MY HOUSE, BUT THE CAR THEN ACCELERATED BACKWARDS INTO THE STREET RAMMING INTO MY NEIGHBOR'S VEHICLE. WHILE MY CAR WAS NOW SMASHED FRONT AND BACK, NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. I PUT THE CAR BACK IN DRIVE TO REMOVE IT FROM MY NEIGHBOR'S CAR AND AGAIN, IT ACCELERATED, RACING DOWN THE STREET AND, ACROSS A BUSY INTERSECTION. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND WAS PULLING ON THE EMERGENCY (OR PARKING) BRAKE AND IT FINALLY CAME TO A STOP. THE POLICE WERE CALLED AND CAME BUT SAID SINCE IT WAS ONLY PROPERTY DAMAGE THERE WOULD BE NO REPORT. I SHUT OFF THE IGNITION.

WE BOUGHT A NEW 2016 TOYOTA COROLLA AND HAVE A PROBLEM WITH RODENTS GETTING IN IT. WE READ UP ON IT AND IT IS CAUSED BY THE MATERIALS USED. THE PERSON I SPOKE AT TOYOTA SAID THEY USE PEANUT BASED LUBRICANT. THIS APPARENTLY IS KNOW BY TOYOTA YET THEY CONTINUE TO USE IT. WHAT CAN BE DONE? I AM TIRED OF BEING TOLD NOTHING CAN BE DONE.

PROJECTOR LIGHTS CAUSE WHAT APPEARS TO BE A BLACK CURTAIN PAINTED ACROSS THE UPPER HALF OF MY WINDSHIELD AND I CANNOT SEE STREET SIGNS. THIS CURTAIN ALSO BOUNCES WHEN GOING UP AND DOWN ANY SLOPE IN THE ROAD AND WHILE GOING DOWN SLOPE THE LIGHT APPEARS TO BE DRIVEN DOWN INTO THE ROAD SURFACE.

I WAS DRIVING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AT 10-15MPH. A CAR WAS WAITING TO TURN AT A STOP SIGN 200 FEET AHEAD. THE ROAD HAD MILD SNOW AND ICE AND WAS ON A 20 DEGREE SLOPE, SO I STEPPED GENTLY ON THE BRAKE. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE CAR. I STEPPED OFF THE BRAKE AND STEPPED DOWN A LITTLE HARDER. THERE WAS MILD RESPONSE. I CONTINUED PUSHING ON THE BRAKE, AND WAS ABLE TO PUSH ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. THE CAR DID NOT STOP. 50 FEET BEFORE COLLISION, I ATTEMPTED TURNING THE WHEEL TO GET OUT OF THE WAY, BUT THE CAR ONLY SHIFTED 3 FEET BEFORE I COLLIDED WITH THE FRONT CAR. 50 MINUTES AFTER THE INCIDENT, I WAS DRIVING THE SAME CAR HOME AT 25MPH. THE CITY STREET WAS FLAT AND STRAIGHT, AND THERE WAS MILD SNOW AND ICE. A CAR WAS TURNING RIGHT AT AN INTERSECTION 250 FT AHEAD. I WAS WORRIED THIS TIME, AND PRESSED ON THE BRAKE EARLIER AT MODERATE PRESSURE (PEDAL HALF DOWN). IN THE PAST, THAT TYPE OF PRESSURE COULD DECREASE THE CAR FROM 35 TO 10MPH IN 100FT. THIS TIME, THE CAR ONLY DECREASED FROM 25 TO 15MPH IN 245FT. I WAS LUCKY THE DRIVER AHEAD TURNED, BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A SECOND COLLISION IN ONE DAY. *TR

FUMES OUT OF VENT 15,000 MILES 79 MPH ON INTERSTATE, FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPEN, MAKE MY EYES TEAR UP(MILD PLUS) WENT ON FOR AT LEAST 10 MILES, WAS LOOKING FOR EXIT TO GET OFF. I STOPPED ABOUT 20 MILES FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD, CHECKED EXHAUST PIPE, NO BLOCKAGE

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DRIVING HOME FROM A CONCERT AT 10:30 PM ON THE 110 FREEWAY IN SAN PEDRO, CA WHEN WE HEARD A LOUD CRASH ON THE ROOF OF THE CAR. WE HADN'T JUST DRIVEN UNDER AN OVERPASS. THERE WAS NO DEBRIS BEHIND US. NO ONE WAS SWERVING OUT OF THE WAY TO AVOID ANYTHING. NO ONE WHO DROVE PASSED US REACTED AT ALL. WE COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT HAD HIT US AND KEPT HEARING GLASS MOVING AROUND. AT ONE POINT MY HUSBAND OPENED THE SUNROOF SLIGHTLY AND SAW A GAPING HOLE IN THE GLASS ALONG WITH GLASS SHARDS THAT STARTED FALLING INTO THE CAR. WHEN WE GOT HOME I LOOKED UP "EXPLODING SUN ROOFS" AND FOUND THAT SPONTANEOUS EXPLOSION WAS NOT UNCOMMON AND THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT FORMING AND PEOPLE REPORTED THEIR EXPERIENCES TO YOU. THE CAR HAD BEEN PARKED OUTSIDE FOR ABOUT 2 1/2 HOURS. THE TEMP WAS 49 DEGREES. THIS IS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. NO ICE. NO SNOW. NOT THAT COLD. *TR

WHEN DRIVING THIS MODEL, WHICH I OWN, I BELIEVE THE LED LIGHTING MAKES THESE CARS UNSAFE AT NIGHT. WHAT I WILL CALL THE LED HORIZON WHICH FLUCTUATES GREATLY ON HILLY OR UNEVEN ROADS, CAUSES LOSS OF NEEDED VISION. FLUCTUATION IN PAVEMENT REDUCES FORWARD VISION TO AS LITTLE AS A CAR LENGTH GOING DOWNHILL & PUTS IT INTO THE CLOUDS GOING UPHILL. & EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN ON SLIGHTLY UNEVEN ROADS. THE HORIZON IS CAUSED BY TOTAL LACK OF LIGHT - LED LIGHTS DON'T SHADE OR REFLECT GRADUALLY TO DARKNESS, BUT HAVE THAT SUDDEN CUT OFF RESULTING IN A TUNNEL VISION EFFECT. I HAVE TO LIVE WITH & DRIVE IN FOOTHILLS AT NIGHT. I COMPLAINED BY PHONE & EMAIL TO MANUFACTURER. I BROUGHT UP POSSIBLE REWIRING, DIFFERENT BULBS, ANYTHING AT 5000 MILE SERVICE & THAT I'D GLADLY PAY FOR SOME LIGHTING IMPROVEMENT. DEALER HELP SAID "NO ONE ELSE HAS COMPLAINED" & THERE IS NOTHING ALLOWED NOR AVAILABLE TO HELP IMPROVE LIGHTING. MANUFACTURER SAID THEY WEREN'T AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS. I CITED 2015 COROLLA COMMENTS ON THIS SITE & LATER EMAILED THEM THE IIHS STUDY. SINCE TOYOTA OBVIOUSLY HAS THE PRIUS V LIGHTING FIGURED OUT & THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE I STRONGLY BELIEVE ALL CARS WITH LED NEED TO BE BROUGHT UP TO SAFE STANDARDS. THIS DOESN'T MEAN JUST TOYOTAS, BUT OTHER BRANDS AFFECTED. THE LITTLE CAR IS OUTDRIVING HEADLIGHTS AT 30 MPH. THAT & MAKING ALL NEWER CARS SO LOW THEY SINK INTO WATER PUDDLES TOO EASILY ARE SAFETY PROBLEMS THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED INDUSTRY WIDE. I'LL GIVE THE DATE OF 1ST DRIVE, BUT OF COU

TL* THE CONTACT RENTED A 2016 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE REVERSING IN A PARKING LOT, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN THE DRIVE GEAR, IT BECAME INOPERABLE AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AGAIN. THE CONTACT STRUCK SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE UNKNOWN.

2016 TOYOTA COROLLA DEFECT. THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS ON/OFF SWITCH IS ON THE SAME CONTROL AS THE HEADLIGHTS. THE DLRS TURNS ON BEFORE REACHING THE LOW BEAM SETTING AS YOU TWIST THE CONTROL. THE DLRS ARE ALMOST AS BRIGHT AS THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS AND UTILIZE THE SAME BULB AT A LOWER WATTAGE. THEY CAN BE MISTAKEN FOR YOUR HEADLIGHTS AT NIGHT AND YOU WILL BE DRIVING AROUND WITH NO TAILLIGHTS BECAUSE THE TAILLIGHTS ARE NOT ON WHEN THE SWITCH IS ON THE DLR SETTING. I GOT PULLED OVER BY A COP BECAUSE I HAD NO TAIL LIGHTS ONE NIGHT. THE DEALER HAS NO SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL THIS INCOMPETENT DESIGN KILLS SOMEONE. TOYOTA SHOULD FIRE THE ENGINEER BEHIND THIS AND ORDER A RECALL AND AT THE VERY LEAST REWIRE THE DLR SWITCH TO INCLUDE TAILLIGHTS AND BOOST THE WATTAGE ON THE DLR TO LOW BEAM POWER. IT AMAZES ME THAT THIS DEFECT WOULD PASS THRU A COMPANY LIKE TOYOTA AND MAKE IT TO THE MARKET. THIS WAS A MISTAKE ON MY PART AND I WAS ALREADY AWARE OF IT AND HAD ALREADY BROUGHT EVERY DRIVER IN MY HOUSE OUT TO THE DRIVEWAY TO SHOW THEM THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION. IF A CONSCIENTIOUS PERSON LIKE ME CAN MAKE THIS MISTAKE, ANYONE CAN.

BRAKE PEDAL FEELS SPONGY OR SOFT ALL THE TIME. HAVE HAD VEHICLE TO DEALER 3 TIMES FOR STUCK FUEL DOOR (WON'T OPEN). EVERY TIME NOTHING FOUND WRONG. TECH LUBED AND TRIED ADJUSTING FUEL DOOR TO NO AVAIL. STUCK FUEL DOOR DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME THOUGH. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY FOR WOMEN WHO ARE TRYING TO FUEL UP WHEN ON EMPTY. FUEL DOOR STICKS WHILE STATIONARY. BRAKES FEEL SPONGY WHEN APPLYING BRAKES WHILE IN MOTION OR SITTING STILL. DEALER LOOKED AT BRAKES AND SAID THEY ARE FINE. HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THESE COROLLA'S HAVING BRAKE FAILURE! WHAT'S NEXT??? A CRASH IN THE MAKING!!! WILL NOT BUY TOYO AGAIN.

THIS IS A REPORT OF BRAKE FAILURE THAT CAUSED A VEHICLE COLLISION WITH INJURIES. ON OCTOBER 29, 2016, I RENTED A 2016 TOYOTA COROLLA FROM A BETTERWAY RENT-ACAR, INC. D/BA BUDGET RENT A CAR OF ATLANTA, AT 6509 ROSWELL RD, ATLANTA, GA 30328. THE TOYOTA HAD 21,619 MILES AT THE TIME OF THE RENTAL. AT APPROXIMATELY 12:30PM I WAS DRIVING SOUTHEAST ON JIMMY CARTER BLVD IN NORCROSS GEORGIA. THE WEATHER WAS CLEAR AND SUNNY AND THE ROAD WAS DRY. UPON DEPARTING A TRAFFIC LIGHT, I ACCELERATED TO APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH IN MODERATE TRAFFIC TOWARDS VEHICLES WAITING AT THE INTERSECTION OF JIMMY CARTER BLVD AND ROCKBRIDGE SCHOOL ROAD ONE BLOCK AWAY. I BEGAN APPLYING THE BRAKES LONG BEFORE REACHING THE VEHICLES WAITING AT THE NEXT INTERSECTION, HOWEVER THE CAR'S BRAKE ACTION WAS MINIMAL. AS I COMPLETELY DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, I HEARD A CLICKING SOUND SIMILAR TO THE ENGAGEMENT OF AN ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS), HOWEVER THERE WAS NO SIGNIFICANT DECELERATION. WHEN I FULLY DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, I DID NOT HEAR AN INCREASE IN ENGINE RPM, THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DID NOT DOWNSHIFT, AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE. AS A RESULT OF THE TOYOTA'S BRAKE FAILURE, I IMPACTED A STATIONARY VEHICLE AT THE INTERSECTION OF JIMMY CARTER BLVD AND ROCKBRIDGE SCHOOL ROAD. THE TOYOTA'S AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO SKIDMARKS AT THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT. I SUFFERED INJURIES AS WELL AS MULTIPLE OCCUPANTS IN THE OTHER VEHICLE. *TR

ON JUNE 24TH 2016 I PURCHASED A 2016 TOYOTA COROLLA S. I HAD 3 MINOR BRAKE FIALURES WITH GRINDING SOUNDS. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ON THOSE 3 OCCASIONS.THE 4TH BRAKE FAILURE WAS A LOT WORSE AND I ENDED UP APPLYING THE E BRAKE AND SLIDE INTO COUNTY LINE DIVIDING PASCO & HERNANDO COUNTY FLORIDA. ENOUGH WAS ENOUGH I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND SAID " I NEED TO BRING MY CAR IN ASAP BECAUSE NOW I HAVE HAD FOUR BRAKE FAILURES AND THIS ONE COULD HAVE KILLED ME IF ANYONE HAD BEEN COMING. THIS WAS THE 21ST OF JULY, I HAD BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR INSPECTION OF MY BRAKES. ALL THEY DID WAS TAKE IT FOR A TEST DRIVE, BROUGHT IT BACK AND SAID EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. ON SEPTEMBER TENTH 2016 I GOT INTO THE RIGHT HAND TURN LANE, WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. I CONTINUED TO APPLY MORE AND MORE PRESSURE AND STILL NO BRAKES. I WAS ABLE TO VEER ENOUGH TO THE RIGHT SO I DIDN'T IMPACT THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR HOWEVER THE LADY BEHIND THAT CAR WAS NOT AS LUCKY AND I IMPACTED HER FRONT LEFT PRETTY MUCH HEAD ON. I HAVE CALLED OVER AND OVER I HAVE SENT PICTURES OF MY CAR AND THE ROAD WHERE THERE WAS NOT EVEN 1 SKID MARK. I HAVE 9 BULGING DISC 4 HERNIATED DISCS. I AM LITERALLY BROKE FROM CAR RENTALS DR'S APPOINTMENTS AND MEDICATION THAT HAS BEEN VERY EXPENSIVE. EVERY TIME I CALL I AM INSTRUCTED I WILL RECEIVE A CALL FROM THEIR CLAIMS/LEGAL DEPARTMENT WITHIN 30 BUSINESS DAYS FROM WHEN THEY RETRIEVED THE DATA FROM THE CAR THAT ALMOST KILLED ME AND A POOR WOMAN WHO WAS TAKEN AWAY IN AN AMBULANCE. I L

HEADREST ANGLE. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING FROM MY EXPERIENCE THAT ALL CAR HEADRESTS NOW INDUCE NECK PAIN THANKS TO NHTSA'S TERRIBLE REGULATION MANDATING THAT HEADRESTS BE ANGLED OR HAVE A MINIMUM DISTANCE TO THE HEAD TO REDUCE WHIPLASH. THIS MANDATE, WHILE WELL INTENTIONED, IS HORRIBLE FOR ANY KIND OF DRIVING IN THE VEHICLE. IF I ATTEMPT TO SIT STRAIGHT UP IN ANY NEW CAR THE HEADREST ALWAYS HITS MY HEAD BEFORE BEING ABLE TO COMPLETELY REST MY BACK AGAINST THE SEAT. THE HEADRESTS, NO MATTER WHERE THEY ARE POSITIONED, HIT MY HEAD FIRST AND CAUSE IT TO TILT DOWNWARD WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SIT STRAIGHT CAUSING NECK PAIN WHILE DRIVING. EVERY CAR I HAVE DRIVEN (THIS 2016 TOYOTA COROLLA INCLUDED) WHETHER IT BE A RENTAL OR TEST DRIVING A NEW CAR, HAS INDUCED NECK PAIN BY SIMPLY TRYING TO SIT PROPERLY IN THE SEAT. I DO NOT HAVE SUCH ISSUES WITH MY OLDER VEHICLES (2006 TOYOTA COROLLA AND 2004 HONDA ELEMENT) THE ONLY WAY TO ALLEVIATE THIS DISCOMFORT I HAVE FOUND IS PUT THE SEAT AT AN INCLINE SUCH THAT MY HEAD DOES NOT COME CLOSE TO TOUCHING THE HEADREST AND I KNOW THIS IS NOT SAFE. PLEASE CONSIDER CHANGING OR MODIFYING THIS REGULATION. IT IS QUITE RIDICULOUS AND I HAVE MET MANY OTHERS WHO SHARE THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

PULLED INTO PARKING LOT AND PREPARED TO PARK. STEPPED ON BRAKES, CAR DIDN'T STOP HIT BUILDING. I PUT IN REVERSE AND THEN DRIVE, SWERVING AWAY FROM BUILDING, BUT CAR KEPT GOING ALL WHILE FOOT WAS ON BRAKE. PULLED KEYS FROM THE IGNITION TO STOP THE CAR.

THE NAVIGATION/ BACK UP SCREEN IS NOT VISIBLE WITH POLARIZED SUNGLASSES EXCEPT BY TILTING ONES HEAD AT A 45 DEGREE ANGLE. MANUFACTURERS RESPONSE IS " HAVE SUBMITTED THE INFORMATION TO TOYOTA AND HAVE HEARD BACK THAT THIS CONDITION IS A KNOWN CONCERN WITH POLARIZED SUNGLASSES AS IT HAS BEEN SEEN BY OTHERS AS WELL. THE CONCLUSION IS THAT THE POLARIZATION IN THE GLASSES CAUSES THIS EFFECT AND IT IS NOT A DEFECT IN THE PRODUCTS NAVIGATION SCREEN"

AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT TIME OF CRASH WHICH THEY SHOULD HAVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 TOYOTA COROLLA EQUIPPED WITH FIRESTONE 740 TIRES, SIZE: 215/45/R17. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL FOUR TIRES WERE ONLY AT 32 PSI, WHICH CAUSED THE SIDEWALL TO FAIL AND TOUCH THE PAVEMENT. THE MAXIMUM PSI, ACCORDING TO THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR PANEL, WAS 32 PSI; HOWEVER, THE TIRES HAD A PSI OF 51. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE PRESSURE WAS 32 PSI AND NO MORE. THE DEALER WOULD NOT INFILTRATE ANY MORE TIRE PRESSURE BECAUSE THEY DID NOT WANT TO BE LIABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT BACK TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE TIRES AT HIS EXPENSE WITH 205/55/16R. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE OF THE TIRE AND VEHICLE WAS 25. THE VIN AND DOT NUMBER WERE NOT AVAILABLE.
