  TAKATA RECALL: I RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION 6 MONTHS AGO THAT NO PASSENGERS COULD SAFELY SIT IN MY FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AS A RESULT OF THE TAKATA RECALL. SINCE THEN, MY PASSENGERS HAVE BEEN ON SEVERAL UNCOMFORTABLE LONG, 5+ HOUR FREQUENT TRIPS, OR I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO USE MY CAR FOR THOSE TRIPS. AFTER 6 MONTHS, I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION THAT THE PARTS CAN BE FIXED. SINCE I LIVE IN A BUSY CITY AND WOULD TYPICALLY RIDE WITH PASSENGERS, MY CAR HAS BECOME UNSAFE AND USELESS FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN OCCASIONAL LONE TRIPS. I AM SHOCKED THAT NO OTHER REMEDY HAS BEEN OFFERED TO HELP THOSE IMPACTED BY THE TAKATA RECALL. *JS

  2005 TOYOTA COROLLA LE 4 DOOR SEDAN. INCIDENT MILEAGE 106,000; CURRENT MILEAGE 108,000. HARSH SHIFT, ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WITH DTC P2716. OCCURS CONSTANTLY. CAR (ESPECIALLY IN LOW GEARS) LURCHES FORWARD AS IT SHIFTS TO THE NEXT GEAR. I HAVE TO BE EXTRA CAREFUL OF MY SPACING TO ENSURE I DON'T ACCIDENTALLY HIT SOMEONE. TOYOTA SERVICE BULLETIN TC015-07 SAYS THE ECM SHOULD BE REPLACED AT THE TUNE OF 800+ DOLLARS. ALTHOUGH I AM OVER THE 80K MILES WARRANTY FOR THE TOYOTA FEDERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY "THIS WARRANTY IS IN EFFECT FOR 96 MONTHS OR 80,000 MILES, WHICHEVER OCCURS FIRST, FROM THE VEHICLE?S IN-SERVICE DATE.", I DON'T THINK THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A KNOWN DEFECTIVE COMPONENT, ESPECIALLY SINCE MOST OF MY MILES ARE OPEN-HIGHWAY COMMUTING AND I AM LESS THAN THE 8 YEARS OF THE WARRANTY'S TIME LIMIT. HAVING A HARD TIME FINDING A REPLACEMENT PART THAT I CAN TRUST. *TR

  TAKATA RECALL. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST 6 MONTHS SINCE WE RECEIVED THE INTERIM RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA. WE HAVE HEARD NOTHING SINCE. TOYOTA IS ACTING IN AN UNETHICAL AND DANGEROUS MANNER BY TAKING SO LONG TO REMEDY THIS POTENTIALLY FATAL DEFECT. AS A COUPLE THAT ALMOST ALWAYS TRAVELS TOGETHER IN THE COROLLA, WE HAVE BEEN DENIED THE USE OF OUR VEHICLE BY TOYOTA. THIS IS A LOSS AND WE ARE BEING HELD HOSTAGE BY TOYOTA. BECAUSE, WE MIGHT AS WELL NOT HAVE THE VEHICLE, BUT CAN'T IN GOOD CONSCIENCE UNLOAD IT ON SOMEONE ELSE. THE INTERIM RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA CALLS IT AN 'INCONVENIENCE' AND WARNS US NOT TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH A PASSENGER. WE HAVE BEEN PATIENT, BUT OUR PATIENCE IS AT AN END. NOW, WE ARE ANGRY AND IT IS ONLY REASONABLE THAT IF OUR TOYOTA IS NOT REPAIRED IN THE NEXT 60 DAYS, WE WILL AVAIL OURSELVES OF EVERY LEGAL AND ETHICAL MEANS TO BE COMPENSATED FOR OUR LOSS AND THE UNTENABLE AND DANGEROUS SITUATION TOYOTA HAS PUT (AND KEPT) US IN.

• 12/18/2010· POWER TRAIN

  I OWE A TOYOTA MATRIX 2005, WHICH WAS PURCHASED ON 11/2004. THE CAR CURRENTLY HAS 23,280 MILES AND HAS BEEN ROUTINELY SERVICED AT WESTCHESTER TOYOTA SINCE ITS PURCHASE. BEFORE BRINGING MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE TO WESTCHESTER TOYOTA ON 11/11/10, THE 'CHECK ENGINE LIGHT' HAD NEVER COME ON AND MY CAR WAS NOT GENERATING THE CURRENT VIBRATING NOISE. I AM NOT QUALIFIED TO DETERMINE WHETHER WT COULD HAVE INTENTIONALLY OR INADVERTENTLY CAUSED THE DAMAGE TO MY CAR, BUT I CONSIDER THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE DAMAGE TO MY CAR'S TRANSMISSION COULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THEM. BASED ON WHAT THE SERVICE MANAGER , MR. WILLIAM VESEY, INDICATED DURING MY MEETINGS WITH HIM, THE TRANSMISSION MAY HAD BEEN DAMAGED /MALFUNCTIONING ALL ALONG WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY BUT THE DAMAGE/MALFUNCTION WAS NEVER DETECTED BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL ECM ON THE CAR MAY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DETECT THE DAMAGE SINCE THE ECM WAS FAULTY ITSELF. FOR THIS REASON, WHEN THE ECM WAS REPLACED ON 11/11/10 DUE TO THE RECALL, THE NEW ECM WAS ABLE TO DETECT THE PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND GENERATED THE TRANSMISSION ERROR CODE. SINCE THE ECM WAS RECALLED AFTER MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED AND ITS MALFUNCTIONING MOST LIKELY PREVENTED THE DETECTION OF THE TRANSMISSION ERROR, I BELIEF TOYOTA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. IN ADDITION , THE TRANSMISSION ALSO APPEARS TO BE A FAULTY PART WHICH MAY BE RECALLED IN THE FUTURE BASED ON THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN PROVIDED TO ME BY MR. VESEY. WESTCHESTER TOYOTA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION, FREE OF CHARGE INCLUDING ANY LABOR AND PARTS CHARGES. TOYOTA MOTOR SALES USA SHOULD AUTHORIZE AND COVER THE CHARGES FOR THE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. THE EARLIER RECALL OF MY CAR'S ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) WOULD HAVE ALLOWED FOR THE DETECTION OF ANY TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WHILE MY CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

• 12/17/2016· TIRES

  I HAVE BEEN A BIG PROPONENT OF COOPER TIRES DUE TO THEIR MANUFACTURING PROCESSES. I'VE SINCE CHANGED MY MIND DUE TO THE 3 BLOW OUTS WE'VE HAD WITH THE CS4 TOURING (2) AND NOW MOST RECENT CS5 GRAND TOURING LINE. THE CS5 TIRES WERE PURCHASED LESS THAN A YEAR AGO. ALL HAVE BEEN ON THE SIDEWALL AND ALL HAVE BEEN ON THE FREEWAY GOING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT APPEARS COOPER TIRES DOES NOT CARE ABOUT PEOPLE LIVES! OBVIOUSLY QUALITY IS NOT ONE OF THEIR CORE VALUES. TRY BEING IN TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY AND HAVING A BLOW OUT THOSE ARE THE CONSEQUENCES. FORTUNATELY NOBODY WAS HURT JUST EXTREMELY SCARED. I WILL BE TAKING THE TIRES BACK TO EXPRESS TIRES TO SEE WHAT KIND OF SUPPORT THEY WILL PROVIDE. BTW ONLY OPTION TO SELECT IS CS4 TOURING BUT THESE ARE THE CS5 GRAND TOURING. SAME PROBLEM BUILT INTO THE NEWER MODEL.

  TAKATA RECALL ELMORE TOYOTA IN WESTMINSTER, CA. FLAT OUT LIED TO ME ABOUT MY AIRBAG REPLACEMENT. ELMORE TOYOTA IS USING DECEITFUL TACTICS, AND POSSIBLY, UNLAWFUL PRACTICES. I TOOK MY CAR TO ELMORE ON 08/19/2015 FOR THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. AT THAT TIME, I TOLD THE SERVICE GUY TO CHECK THE MOLDING AROUND MY WINDOWS, IT'S STARTING TO COME OUT, AND NEEDS TO BE TUCKED BACK IN A FEW SPOTS. AND I ASKED HIM TO GIVE ME AN OIL CHANGE WHILE IT WAS THERE. THEY DIDN'T HAVE REPLACEMENT PARTS ON HAND, SO THEY GAVE ME A RENTAL CAR, AND TOLD ME, WHEN THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARRIVE, THEY'LL LET ME KNOW. I CALL A COUPLE TIMES A WEEK TO CHECK ON MY CAR, NOT A SINGLE RETURNED CALL FROM ELMORE. THREE FULL MONTHS GO BY, AND I GET A VOICE MESSAGE FROM ELMORE TELLING ME THAT MY CAR WAS READY, HE SAID TO COME PICK IT UP, AND THAT THEY WON'T PAY ANYMORE DAYS ON THE RENTAL. IT'S MONDAY 11/23/15, I WASH, WAX, AND GAS UP THE RENTAL, AND TAKE IT TO ELMORE. NOBODY CAN FIND MY CAR. NOBODY CAN FIND THE GUY WHO CALLED ME ABOUT IT BEING READY FOR PICK UP. IT WASN'T IN THE COMPUTER. I WAIT, AND WAIT. 45 MINUTES LATER, A SERVICE GUY PULLS UP IN MY CAR, AND IT'S COVERED WITH BIRD CRAP, AND A (3) MONTH LAYER OF DIRT. MY CAR IS WASHED, AND WAXED, ONCE A WEEK. IT WAS IMMACULATE WHEN I TOOK IT TO ELMORE. OBVIOUSLY, MY CAR SAT OUTSIDE ON THEIR LOT FOR (3) MONTHS. I LOOK AND SEE THAT NOTHING WAS DONE WITH THE MOLDING, SO I ASK IF THE OIL WAS CHANGED, HE DIDN'T KNOW. HE SAID, "ALL I KNOW IS, THEY FIXED THE AIRBAG". I ASKED HIM FOR THE PAPERWORK ON MY CAR, THAT SHOWS WHAT WORK WAS REQUESTED, AND WHAT WORK WAS DONE. THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY AFTER I WAITED A OTHER 30 MIN. I WENT HOME AND IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE GUY AT ELMORE AND LEFT SEVERAL MESSAGES, AND EMAILS, EXPLAINING THAT THEY DIDN'T DO THE MOLDING, OR OIL, MY CAR WAS FILTHY, AND NO PAPERWORK.

I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE TO SCHEDULE SERVICE SO AS TO AVOID ANY ACCIDENT OR INJURY TO MYSELF, MY FAMILY, OR OTHERS.

  OUR 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA IS HAVING MAJOR PROBLEMS SHIFTING (LURCHING AND STUCK GEARS), AND THE CAR IS NOW UNSAFE FOR US TO DRIVE ON THE ROAD (WE ARE LIKELY TO GET REAR-ENDED IF WE CONTINUE TO DRIVE). WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO OUR MECHANIC AND BEEN INFORMED THAT WE HAVE A DEFECTIVE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE. THIS PROBLEM IS DESCRIBED IN TOYOTA'S TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN TC014-06. THERE IS AN 8YR/80K MILE WARRANTY ON THIS PART, BUT OUR CAR HAS OVER 100K MILES SO TOYOTA CLAIMS THAT THEY HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR OF THIS DEFECT.

  MY WIFE WAS DRIVING A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION ON A DIRT ROAD AT SLOW SPEED. RIGHT WHEELS GOT IN SOFT DIRT, CAR SKIDDED, SHE BRAKED AND TRIED TO STEER OUT OF SKID. THE CAR TURNED AROUND BACKWARDS, SLID TO ALMOST A STOP, SLOWLY ROLLED ON TO LEFT SIDE, THEN ON ROOF. CAR WAS TOTALED, SHE WAS NOT INJURED. WE AT FIRST ASSUMED ROLLOVER OCCURRED BECAUSE BRAKING DURING SKID CAUSED THE ENGINE TO DIE LOCKING THE FRONT WHEELS CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL. HOWEVER THIS DOES NOT EXPLAIN WHY THE CAR ROLLED AT SUCH A SLOW SPEED. ROLL OCCURRED ON FAIRLY LEVEL GROUND. WE LATER INSPECTED THE CAR AND FOUND BOTH LEFT TIRES FLAT WITH BEADS SEPARATED. IT APPEARS THAT SLIDING SIDEWAYS CAUSED THE BEADS TO BREAK, THE TIRES WENT INSTANTLY FLAT AND THE WHEELS DUG INTO THE DIRT CAUSING THE SLOW 1/2 ROLLOVER. NOTE: TIRES WERE 165/65R15 GOODYEAR INTEGRITY. THIS SIZE WAS NOT AVAILABLE IN THE FORM. *JB
