• 12/30/2011· POWER TRAIN,SEATS

  TRANSMISSION SHIFT 1ST TO 2ND GEAR IS HARD, ALL OTHER SHIFTS ARE FINE. SOMETIMES THE TRANSMISSION "CHOKES" AND YOU GET A HARD BANG IN THE DRIVETRAIN. ALSO, THE DRIVER'S SEAT DOESN'T LOCK PROPERLY, SOMETIMES I HAVE TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES REALLY HARD IN ORDER TO GET THE SEAT FRONT-TO-REAR ADJUSTER TO LOCK OR "CLICK" INTO PLACE. THE SEAT ALSO SQUEAKS WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION, AND I WEIGH ONLY 175 LBS. CAR HAS ABOUT 3000 MILES TODAY, AND THE SALES DEALER WILL NOT SCHEDULE ME FOR AN APPOINTMENT ON MY ONLY DAY OFF FROM WORK (SATURDAY) SO I GUESS I WILL HAVE TO TAKE A PERSONAL DAY OFF DURING THE WEEK BECAUSE APPARENTLY AN OIL CHANGE IS MORE IMPORTANT. *KB

  TAKATA RECALL - I HAVE OWNED A TOYOTA COROLLA 2011 FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS NOW, & WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF BUYING THIS CAR FROM A DEALERSHIP I GET NOTICE FROM TOYOTA THAT MY CAR HAS THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL. I HAVE CALLED CORPORATE TOYOTA ABOUT 5 TIMES IN 8 MONTHS AND STILL TO THIS DAY, THEY HAVE NO ANSWER FOR WHEN THEY CAN FIX THIS ISSUE, AND ALL OF THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS I HAVE GONE TO IN MY AREA (3 OF THEM) CANNOT HELP FIX MY VEHICLE AS WELL. I ASKED IF I COULD TAKE OFF MY PASSENGER AIRBAG UNTIL IT BECOMES FIXED AND THEY SAID "NO". SO NOW I LITERALLY AM DRIVING A DEATH TRAP. I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE ANYONE IN MY FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, BUT I HAVE A FAMILY, HOW THE HECK CAN I NOT HAVE SOMEONE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. TBH I DON'T KNOW IF THIS AIRBAG ISSUE FOR TOYOTA WILL EVER BE FIXED. ALL THEY HAD TO DO WAS FIXED THE PROBLEM IN A TIMELY MANNER, LIKE A YEAR OR SO. IT'S BEEN ALMOST 2 YEARS AND STILL THEY CAN'T GIVE A FIX DATE. NICE JOB TOYOTA. PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE. *TR

• 12/29/2014· VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ENGINE

  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

  TAKATA RECALL. THIS ISSUE HAS GONE ON TOO LONG WITHOUT A REMEDY AND I HAVE NOT BEEN PROPERLY ADVISED OF MY RIGHTS. I CONTACTED TOYOTA (CORPORATE) AND THEY TOLD ME TO CONTACT MY LOCAL DEALER TO GET A LOANER VEHICLE. MY LOCAL DEALER HAS SINCE TOLD ME THEY DON'T PROVIDE LOANER VEHICLES. WHAT AM I ENTITLED TO?

  APPROX. A WEEK AFTER THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IT WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH ON 08/29/2011. THIS VEHICLE WAS CRASHED DUE TO AN HIGHER THAN USUAL REV WHICH DELAYS THE TIME FOR A VEHICLE TO COME TO A STOP. THE REV ON THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT DECLINE SOMETIMES WHEN RELEASING THE ACCELERATOR. THE VEHICLE CAME WITH TOYOTA CAR SO I HAVE WENT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES TO HAVE A MULTI POINT INSPECTION AND THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS PERFECTLY FINE. THEY WERE UNABLE TO "DUPLICATE" THE ISSUE. FEELING LIKE THERE IS NOTHING I COULD DO I GAVE UP AND JUST CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT WITH EXTRA CAUTION AND MAKE PAYMENTS ON MY LEASE TILL THE TERM WAS OVER. ABOUT A YEAR LATER AT 11,000 ON MY RECENT SERVICE VISIT THE TOYOTA MECHANIC TOLD ME I NEEDED NEW BRAKES. HE STATED THAT THIS WAS UNUSUAL AT THIS MILEAGE AND BRAKES SHOULD BE FINE, BUT ON MY CAR THE BRAKES WERE COMPLETELY GONE. NOW I HAVE ABOUT 12,800 MILES, AND THE ENGINE REVVING IS STARTING TO INTERFERE WITH MY ABILITY TO CONTROL THE SPEED OF MY VEHICLE. THE EXCESSIVE ENGINE REV IS THE CULPRIT THAT CAUSES MY BRAKES BEING USED HEAVILY. AFTER I RELEASE THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE AND THE BRAKE HAS TO WORK EXTRA HARD TO STOP THE CAR. I HAVE CONTACTED SOUTH EAST TOYOTA FINANCE AND THEY JUST EMPATHIZED WITH MY SITUATION. WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE MECHANIC TOOK THREE HOURS TO LOOK AT THE CAR AND REFERRED ME TO A SALES REPRESENTATIVE WHO TRIED TO SELL ME A NEW 2013 TOYOTA COROLLA TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I REFUSED TO BUY A NEW CAR AND LEFT THE DEALERSHIP. I AM NOT AN MECHANIC BUT I SUSPECT IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE COMPUTER THAT CONTROLLING THE SPEED, WHICH IS CAUSING MY SPEED TO NOT DECREASE. THIS CAUSES THE BRAKES TO TAKE AN EXTRA LOAD AND CAUSES FIRST AND SECOND GEAR TO CONFLICT AT TIMES. THIS ISSUE IS GETTING WORSE AS TIMES GOES BY. *TR

• 12/13/2017· ENGINE

  I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2011 TOYOTA COROLLA WITH 45K MILES. FOR THE PAST MONTH WHEN TRAVELING BETWEEN 40 AND 70 MPH THE CAR LOOSES POWER. THE TACHOMETER WILL GO DOWN 200 TO 300 RPMS IN A MATTER OF A FEW SECONDS. IT IS LIKE THE ENGINE IS FLUTTERING THEN AFTER 10 TO 30 SECONDS POWER RETURNS AND THE RMPS RETURN TO THE PREVIOUS SETTING. THIS LOSS OF POWER MAKES THE VEHICLE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I STARTED LOOKING AT COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE-SOME FOUND THE PROBLEM TO BE IN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. I CHANGED THE PEDAL BUT IT DID NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AFTER MORE RESEARCH I DISCOVERED THAT THERE IS A AN OFFICIAL SERVICE BULLETIN REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. THE CARS COMPUTER HAS TO BE REPROGRAMMED (FLASH). I CALLED THE TOYOTA WEBSITE TO ASK ABOUT THE PROCEEDURE AND IF TOYOTA PAID FOR THIS-ALSO NO HELP. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION AND TOYOTA SHOULD PAY FOR THIS PROCEEDURE I AM NOT THE ONLY VICTIM. TOYOTA COULD NOT TELL ME HOW MANY OTHER 2011 COROLLAS REPORTED THIS PROBLEM.

  TAKATA RECALL. OUR PRIMARY FAMILY CAR IS AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL, WHERE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS UNSAFE FOR USE DUE TO MALFUNCTIONING AIR BAG. MONTHS AFTER RECEIVING NOTICE OF THIS ISSUE, WE STILL HAVE NOT HEARD OF A SOLUTION OTHER THAN "DON'T USE THE FRONT SEAT," WHICH ISN'T ALWAYS FEASIBLE WHEN THE CAR IS THE MAIN MODE OF TRANSPORTATION FOR A FAMILY WITH A CHILD.

• 12/05/2012· STEERING

  I AM WRITING TO REPORT AN ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SAFETY DEFECT WITH MY 2011 TOYOTA COROLLA LE. I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW AND NOTICED, DURING MY FIRST TRIP ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, IT WAS DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN CENTER LANE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WOULD DRIFT FROM SIDE TO SIDE AND THE FASTER THE VEHICLE SPEED THE MORE PRONOUNCED THE DRIFT BECAME. ROAD SMOOTHNESS DID NOT SEEM TO MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE. I ASSUMED THAT SINCE THIS IS MY FIRST VEHICLE WITH ELECTRIC POWER STEERING IT MUST JUST TAKE ME SOME GETTING ACCUSTOMED TO DRIVING IT. HAVING DRIVEN IT FOR 18 MONTHS, IN VARIED WEATHER AND ROAD CONDITIONS, I AM NOW CONVINCED IT IS A SAFETY DEFECT AS IT CAUSES ME MUCH FATIGUE TO DRIVE IT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR MORE THAN APPROXIMATELY 45 MINUTES DUE TO CONSTANT STEERING INPUTS REQUIRED JUST TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN THE LANE. ON 3 DECEMBER 2012 I PRESENTED THE VEHICLE TO MY TOYOTA DEALER FOR WARRANTY REPAIR AND WAS DENIED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASON "TEST DROVE VEHICLE. HIGH WINDS AND POOR STREET CONDITIONS SEEM TO HAVE MORE AFFECT ON SMALLER VEHICLES THAN LARGER HEAVIER ONES. CHECKED ALIGNMENT IN SPEC AND TIRE PRESSURES ARE GOOD AS WELL."

  BOTH OF THE SUN VISORS HAVE GOTTEN SO LOOSE THAT THEY NO LONGER FUNCTION. I CAN'T LIFT THEM UP TO SEE AT NIGHT, AND WHEN I GO UP A HILL, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE WHAT'S AHEAD. THEY PARTIALLY BLOCK THE VIEW OF THE ROAD AHEAD AT ALL TIMES WHEN I'M DRIVING. THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT IT IS TO PURCHASE NEW VISORS AND HAVE A DEALERSHIP INSTALL THEM. I SEE THAT MANY OF THESE CARS HAVE A RECALL BECAUSE OF SUN VISOR PROBLEMS, HOWEVER, MINE IS NOT ON THE LIST. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CONFIRMED IT WAS A PROBLEM, BUT THEY CAN'T FIX THEM. ALL SUN VISORS IN THESE CARS SHOULD BE REPLACED WITHOUT CUSTOMERS HAVING TO PAY OUT OF POCKET.

• 11/25/2011· STEERING,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

  THIS IS A NEW CAR PURCHASE (W/200 MI). AT 60-75 MPH (AND NOTICEABLE ALSO AT SLOWER SPEEDS ON OTHER ROADS) ON THE FREEWAY THE CAR'S STEERING WANDERS ALL OVER THE ROAD, IT CANNOT STAY ON A STRAIGHT LINE EVEN IF THE STEERING WHEEL IS NOT MOVED. TRUCKS PASSING BY DO NOT APPEAR TO GREATLY EFFECT STEERING. WIND WAS NOT AN ISSUE. THIS, NOT A LOOSENESS BUT RATHER INACCURATE STEERING, CAUSES A WANDERING WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS AS THE CAR WILL WANDER INTO ANOTHER LANE OR OFF THE ROAD INTO A POTENTIAL CRASH. THE DRIVER IS 57, WITH 200-300K MILES DRIVING EXPERIENCE IN MERCEDES TO BMW TO VOLVOS TO GM TO OTHER TOYOTAS TO FORD CARS - W/O AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A REAL AND SERIOUS PROBLEM WHICH MAY CAUSE DEATHS. THERE APPEARS TO BE LITTLE CONTROL BETWEEN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE STEERING. THE TIRES HAVE THE PROPER AIR PRESSURE (GOODYEAR). I REPEAT, THIS IS THE MOST DANGEROUS NEW CAR I HAVE DRIVEN SINCE 1968. THAT'S PROBLEM #1. PROBLEM #2, A LESSER PROBLEM BUT ALSO RIDICULOUS.. IS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. YOU CANNOT KEEP THE SPEED CONSTANT AT 45-50 MPH. HOLDING THE ACCELERATOR STEADY THE ENGINE SPEED, AS SHOWN IN THE TACHOMETER ,WILDLY JUMPS UP AND DOWN AT WILL, INTERMITTENTLY, RPM GOING FROM 1600 TO 2200. IF YOU HOLD STEADY IT DROPS TO 1600, IF YOU THEN DEPRESS THE PEDAL THE SMALLEST POSSINE ABOUT, IT JUMPS TO 2200, THEN BACK TO 1600. OTHER TIMES THE SAME ACTION WORKS AS YOU WOULD EXPECT A LINEAR PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR WOULD COMMAND A LINEAR INCREASE IN SPEED. THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION SPEED CONTROL IS ALL OVER THE PLACE WITH NO FEEDBACK TO THE DRIVER. LOOK... I HAVE EXAMINED THIS ON EMPTY ROADS. IT'S THE MOST RIDICULOUS CONTROL SYSTEM I HAVE EVER USED. IT'S NOT ACCEPTABLE AND IT'S POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS. I CANNOT BELIEVE IT WOULD PASS SAFETY STANDARDS> PLEASE CORRECT THESE 2 ISSUES BEFORE DEATHS OCCUR. I WILL SWEAR TO THIS. *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

• 11/18/2011· STEERING

  VEHICLE IS DIFFICULT TO DRIVE IN A STRAIGHT LINE AT SPEEDS ABOVE 60 MPH. IT FEELS LIKE THERE IS CONSTANT SIDE WINDS PUSHING THE CAR AROUND.
