I took my vehicle for the airbag recall. When the technician gave me my car back I noticed the airbag warning light was still on. The technician said the warning airbag light is something else but he could not say what. Please add additional recalls to fix passenger airbag. But he said “the light was on before the recall” and I would have to pay to find out what the warning is for. I waited 2 hours for the recall work to be finished and when I entered my car the warning light was still on. This vehicle has not been in an accident. This situation I read in the reviews online is happening to this car and many complaints. I feel unsafe and I think all possible recalls should be put in place for this to be taken care of by Toyota. It is dangerous and it is a liability. Please help me get this resolved with AutoNation Toyota in Winter Park.

I RECEIVED MULTIPLE RECALL LETTERS FROM TOYOTA AND CONTACTED A LOCAL DEALER AVONDALE TOYOTA IN AVONDALE ARIZONA ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO. THEY SAID THEY HAD TO ORDER PARTS AND WOULD NOTIFY ME WHEN THEY RECEIVED THEM. I CHECKED BACK SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE NEXT MONTH AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. I CONTACTED TOYOTA RECALL AND THEY SAID THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. I HAVE BEEN CONTACTING THE TOYOTA RECALL PEOPLE WITH NO SUCCESS. WHAT ACTIONS CAN BE TAKEN TO GET MY CAR REPAIRED?
RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA. CALLED LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED - THEY TOOK INFO AND STATED THEY WOULD GET PARTS AND CALL TO SCHEDULE. THEY NEVER CALLED BACK. WE CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER TO INFORM WE WERE NOT GETTING OUR RECALL SERVICE. THEY STATED THEY WOULD CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM CALL WITHIN ONE BUSINESS DAY TO INITIATE SERVICE. NO ONE CALLED. I CALLED TOYOTA AGAIN, THEY PUT ME ON HOLD AND AFTER 12 MINUTES ON HOLD I GAVE UP. TOYOTA IS NOT FOLLOWING THROUGH ON THIS RECALL SERVICE WHICH IS A DEADLY CONDITION.
I AM BEING TOLD THAT MY CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE AND THAT IT CAN BE REPAIRED AT NO COST TO ME BUT I AM BEING TOLD THAT I MUST DRIVE IT TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ON A LATER DATE . WHICH BASICALLY MEANS I HAVE TO RISK MY LIFE UNTIL THEN . I AM THEN BEING TOLD I WON'T GET A LOAN VEHICLE. AND THAT I WON'T BE REIMBURSED FOR THE EXPENSE OF BRINGING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP . I AM BEING FORCED TO MISS WORK BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A VEHICLE NOW . WHICH IS ALL COSTING ME A LOT OF MONEY FOR SOMETHING THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AT NO COST TO ME.

THE VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT IN USA IN 2004, AND WAS LEGALLY TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER COUNTRY IN 2010. THE RECALLS WERE NOT RECEIVED IN TIME TO TAKE ACTION AND FIX THE CAR IN USA. THE OTHER COUNTRY DOES NOT HAVE THE “KNOW HOW” TO FIX WHAT IS STATED IN THE RECALLS (TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL AND A ENGINE CONTROL MODULE RECALL). CAN YOU STOP SENDING SAFETY RECALLS IN USA AND REDIRECT THEM TO THE OTHER COUNTRY? CAN YOU PROVIDE THE “KNOW HOW” TO THE NEW COUNTRY TO FIX THE CAR? TOYOTA HAS OFFICES AND REPAIR STORES IN THE NEW COUNTRY. THE VEHICLE IS NOT REGISTERED IN USA DMV SINCE 2010, BUT IT IS IN THE NEW COUNTRYS DMV. *TR

I HAVE ALREADY HAD MY MATRIX RECALLED FOR AIRBAGS AND "FIXED" - NOW ANOTHER RECALL. THE POSITION TAKEN BY TOYOTA IS IT WILL BE FIXED SOON. I KNOW IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR SOON FOR THIS 2ND RECALL AND TOYOTA'S APPROACH IS NOT TO LET ANYONE RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT! REALLY!! I SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO USE MY OWN CAR!! I THINK I SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET MY MONEY BACK OR AT LEAST A PORTION OF IT BACK. TOYOTA HAS PUT GREED BEFORE THE CONSUMER. I WANT SOMETHING DOWN AND DONE NOW! I AM TIRED OF WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO BE DOWN ABOUT THIS. I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER TOYOTA. I WAS UPSET BY THE FIRST RECALL AND HAVING TO TAKE TIME AWAY FROM MY HOME AND JOB TO HAVE IT FIXED AND NOW TO HAVE ANOTHER RECALL AND AM TOLD NOT TO LET ANYONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT!

MY FRIEND WAS DRIVING DOWN SOUTHSIDE WHEN HIS CAR BEGAN TO UNCONTROLLABLY ACCELERATE AND HE LOST ALL HIS POWER ASSIST FEATURES LIKE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES IT CAUSED HIM TO BE T BONED BY A SUV NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND HE ALMOST DIED I JUST WANT THIS TO BE RESOLVED I DONT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO SOMEONE ELSE
NHTSA RECALL NO. 19V-741: I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA REGARDING THIS RECALL. I'M ATTACHING COPIES OF THE LETTER, ON WHICH I WROTE NOTES OF MY CONVERSATIONS WITH TOYOTA AND WITH THE DEALERSHIP. I HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW SOME INFORMATION I BELIEVE IS RELEVANT TO MY COMPLAINT. HALL TOYOTA OF ELIZABETH CITY IS THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP TO ME, AND IS ALMOST 2 HOURS DRIVE AWAY (ABOUT 90 MILES). THE RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA STATES, "IF YOU ARE UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR LOCAL AUTHORIZED TOYOTA DEALER WHO WILL ARRANGE FOR VEHICLE PICK UP." THE DEALERSHIP ASSIGNED ME AN ADVISOR, RUSS, WHO SAID I NEEDED TO CALL TOYOTA TO HAVE THEM OPEN A CASE AND GIVE ME A CASE NUMBER. RUSS SAID TOYOTA WOULD THEN CALL THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WOULD WORK OUT ARRANGEMENTS TO PICK UP MY VEHICLE. I CALLED TOYOTA AND SPOKE WITH SOMEONE NAMED RAFAEL, WHO GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER (2002102338), BUT SAID THE DEALERSHIP WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TOWING CHARGE. HE SAID TOYOTA WAS NOT GOING TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP, AND THAT I NEEDED TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP TO ARRANGE TOWING. I CALLED RUSS AT THE DEALERSHIP, WHO SAID HIS SUPERVISOR WAS TALKING TO TOYOTA AND HE WOULD CALL ME LATER. THE NEXT DAY, AFTER NOT HEARING BACK, I CALLED RUSS, WHO SAID HIS SUPERVISOR HAD NOT YET HEARD BACK FROM TOYOTA, AND THE SUPERVISOR WOULD CALL ME WHEN HE HAD INFORMATION FROM TOYOTA. LATER THAT DAY RUSS CALLED ME TO SAY TOYOTA AGREED TO COVER $120 OF THE TOWING CHARGE, WHICH RUSS SAID WOULD RUN AROUND $500 TO $550. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT PAY THE DIFFERENCE, SO I WOULD NEED TO PAY THE REST MYSELF. THIS SEEMS CONTRARY TO WHAT IS STATED IN TOYOTA'S LETTER. RAFAEL AT TOYOTA STATED THEY ABSOLUTELY WERE NOT RECOMMENDING I DRIVE 2 HOURS TO THE DEALERSHIP. I SEEM TO BE LEFT WITH NO GOOD OPTION. I'M OBVIOUSLY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT I SHOULDN'T NEED TO PAY $400+.
THE AIRBAG LIGHT TURNED ON AND STAY THERE WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. IT WAS RECALLED & REPLACED, BUT IT'S MAKING THE SAME THING.
LAST WEEK WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY CAR THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS SO WORRIED FOR MY SAFETY TO DRIVE MY CAR. I WENT ONLINE TO SEARCH IF MY CAR HAD A AIRBAG RECALL AND IT DID. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO DO THE REPAIR. WHILE I WAS WAITING THERE THEY TOLD ME THAT MY CAR HAD ANOTHER PROBLEM, I WAS SUPPOSED TO REPLACE THE SPIRAL CABLE (CODE B1811). IF I DIDN'T REPLACE THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS STILL GOING TO BE THERE AND THE AIRBAG WASN'T GOING TO WORK IF I REPLACE THEM . THE HORN ON MY CAR HASN'T BEEN WORKING FOR SO MANY YEARS AND I DIDN'T KNOW THAT WAS CONNECTED WITH THE SPIRAL CABLE ASSEMBLY. I PAID $510.22 TO REPLACE THAT. I'M THE ONLY OWNER FOR THAT CAR. TOYOTA COMPANY SHOULD HAVE A RECALL FOR THE SPIRAL CABLE BECAUSE IT IS CONNECTED TO THE AIRBAG AND WE AS A CUSTOMER SHOULD NOT PAY FOR REPLACEMENT.MY CAR HAD 11 RECALLS SO FAR. OTHER TOYOTA'S HAVE RECALLS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM BUT NOT WITH 2005 YEAR OLD TOYOTA'S.
I JUST SPOKE WITH TOYOTA REGARDING THE REMEDY FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL PROBLEM. I WAS INFORMED THAT I WILL BE RECEIVING A LETTER SOON THAT STATES THAT THEY STILL DON'T HAVE A REMEDY FOR THIS PROBLEM. HOW LONG CAN THEY GET AWAY WITH POTENTIALLY ENDANGERING MY PASSENGER BY NOT REPAIRING THIS PROBLEM?

ON FEBRUARY 4, 2020, I TOOK MY TOYOTA COROLLA TO JIM NORTON TOYOTA OF OKC, 8401 NW EXPRESSWAY,OKLAHOMA CITY, OK 73162, (405) 721-1911, FOR A SAFETY RECALL. THEY DID WORK ON MY CAR. THEY SAID THAT THEY DID REPLACE THE AIR BAG, BUT IT WOULD NOT WORK IF I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT. THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON, INDICATING THAT THE WIRE RELATED TO IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY SAID THE COST OF DOING THE WIRE REPLACEMENT IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. IT WOULD COST ABOUT $700.00 TO HAVE THE WIRE REPLACED. IT SEEMS THAT THE WIRE REPLACEMENT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE WITH THE ORIGINAL BAG REPLACEMENT SINCE IT WON'T WORK WITHOUT IT. AM I REQUIRED TO PAY THE $700.00 TO GET THE AIRBAG IN PROPER WORKING ORDER? THE RECALL NOTICE SAYS THAT THE REMEDY FOR THE SAFETY RECALL WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE TO ME.
THE 2005 COROLLA WAS SLOWED DOWN FOR TRAFFIC AHEAD ON THE HIGHWAY AND REAR ENDED BY A DRIVER, WHO THEN COLLIDED WITH ANOTHER CAR. AFTER BEING REAR ENDED THE 2005 COROLLA THEN HIT ANOTHER CAR.

I HAVE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE I AM DRIVING AND IN MOTION, I'LL PUSH IN THE CLUTCH TO BRAKE OR COAST, THE RPMS GO DOWN UNTIL THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF, AND THE STEERING WHEEL GOES HARD. THE HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS STILL WORK, IN FACT ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS, LIKE THE CHECK ENGINE AND MAINTENANCE REQUIRED LIGHTS, ACTUALLY COME ON (JUST LIKE WHEN YOU'RE KEY IGNITION IS IN THE "ON" POSITION BUT YOU HAVEN'T STARTED THE ENGINE YET). THE CAR STARTS RIGHT BACK UP WHEN I TURN THE IGNITION OR POP THE CLUTCH WHILE IN GEAR. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ABOUT ONCE EVERY WEEK EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR OVER 4 YEARS AGO. WITHIN THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS AT RANDOM TIMES WHEN TRYING TO START MY CAR MY CAR (STATIONARY), THE ENGINE WILL TURN OVER BUT WON'T START ON FIRST TRY. ON SECOND TRY I WILL TURN THE IGNITION AND PUMP THE GAS PEDAL AND AFTER A FEW SECONDS IT WILL START UP AND RUN PERFECTLY FINE. I'VE READ ABOUT THE RECALL OF THE ECM FOR MY MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR, BUT WHEN I SEARCH MY VIN IT COMES BACK WITH NO CURRENT RECALLS. WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNING THE VEHICLE (PURCHASED FROM PRIVATE PARTY IN AUGUST OF 2015), I LEARNED OF THE AIRBAG RECALL AND TOOK IN AND GOT IT FIXED, BUT A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, ABOUT 2.5 YEARS AFTER TAKING IT IN FOR THE RECALL, MY SRS LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ILLUMINATED AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, BUT I AM A LITTLE WORRIED ABOUT SAFETY ESPECIALLY NOW THAT THE SRS LIGHT HAS COME ON. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS I HAVE BEEN SURPRISED BY THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE TRYING TO MAKE A TURN, WHICH VERY EASILY COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT, AND NOW IF I DO GET IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG SYSTEM FAILS, THEN I COULD BE INJURED EVEN MORE SEVERELY OR DIE. I'M A COLLEGE STUDENT ON A VERY TIGHT BUDGET, OTHERWISE I WOULD'VE JUST SEEN A MECHANIC BY NOW. I THOUGHT I'D TRY FILING A COMPLAINT FIRST.

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.

TAKATA AIRBAG I DO NOT OWN THIS CAR ANYMORE. I HAVE NOTIFIED TOYOTA OF THIS SEVERAL TIMES. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. THEY KEEP TELLING ME THAT THEY WILL UPDATE THEIR RECORDS, BUT I KEEP GETTING NOTICES. HOW DO I STOP THIS?
AIRBAG LIGHT HAS STAYED ON SINCE THE CAR WAS SERVICED BY TOYOTA DEALER IN DES MOINE, IOWA IN NOV. 2016. TOYOTA OF CINCINNATI JUST TOLD ME OVER THE PHONE IT WOULD COST OVER $600 TO FIX IT WITHOUT EVEN SEEING THE CAR.

TAKATA RECALL WHEN DEALERSHIP REPLACED AIRBAG ON PASSENGER SIDE DUE TO RECALL, THE AIRBAG ON THE DRIVER SIDE SHOWED IT WAS NOT WORKING ANY LONGER
TAKATA RECALL - I TOOK MY CAR TO MAKE THE LABOR BECAUSE THE TAKATA RECALL AND FEW MONTH LATER THE LIGHT OF THE AIR BAG IN THE FRONT PANEL IS ON (RED). THEN I TAKE MY OTHER CAR (THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR EXCEPT FOR THE COLOR) AND HAPPEN THE SAME THING. TODAY BOTH CARS HAVE THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON.

AIRBAG RECALL AND THE "AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINS ILLUMINATED" STARTED. MY VEHICLE WAS NOT RECALLED IN THE 2003 ' 2008 TOYOTA COROLLA AIRBAG CLOCK SPRING REPLACEMENT RECALL. IT WAS RECALLED FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT AND DURING THAT TIME THE PALO ALTO TOYOTA MECHANIC TRIED TO FIX THE LIGHT BUT COULD NOT FIND THE APPROPRIATE SOLUTION. NOW MY CAR IS RECALLED FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND REMAINS ILLUMINATED.
PAINT ON ROOF, HOOD, AND TRUNK HAD RAPIDLY RUSTED OVER THE PAST 3-4 YEARS. CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW IN 2005 IN CALIFORNIA BUT I'VE LIVED IN LOUISIANA FOR 8.5 YEARS (AS OF JAN 2018). THE ROOF IS COMPLETELY RED RUSTED, THE HOOD HAS WORN PAINT AND LOTS OF CHIPS, AND THE TRUNK IS BEGINNING TO GET THE SAME "SUN DAMAGE" LOOKING PAINT WEAR THAT THE HOOD HAS.
TAKATA RECALL: I REALLY DON'T HAVE A COMPLAINT BUT MORE OF A QUESTION. I WORK FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE IN BANGKOK THAILAND (PROBABLY THE MOST HOT/HUMID PLACE ON EARTH. I HAVE MY TOYOTA COROLLA WITH ME HERE AND IT HAD THE TAKATA RECALL. CAN I TAKE MY CAR TO A DEALER HERE IN BANGKOK? OR JUST WAIT TILL I BRING THE CAR HOME WITH ME IN JUNE AFTER THIS THREE YEAR TOUR IN BANGKOK?

TAKATA RACALL AIRBAG
I AM TRYING TO LOCATE A DEALER IN THIS AREA AND TRYING TO FIND OUT IF I HAVE OUTSTANDING RECALLS, I NEED TO KNOW IF MY AIR BAGS WERE PART OF THE RECALL. I VISITED A DEALER AND HAD ONE RECALL FIXED, THEY WERE SUPPOSE TO CALL ME ON ANOTHER AND NEVER HEARD FROM THEM.
MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR - THE ELECTRIC DOOR LOCK WORKS SOMETIMES, MOST TIMES IT DOESN'T. ALL THE OTHER ELECTRIC LOCKS IN THE CAR CONTINUE TO WORK.
I ONLY HAVE 44,000 MILES ON MY 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA AND THE AIR COMPRESSOR WENT OUT. I HAVE READ THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED IN NUMEROUS COROLLAS FROM THE SAME YEAR. I BELIEVE THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AND RECALLED OR I WILL SELL MY CAR AND NEVER BUY A TOYOTA AGAIN. I WILL ALSO POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA ABOUT TOYOTA'S NEGLIGENCE AND MISTREATMENT OF CUSTOMERS. I HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER THAT NEEDS AIR CONDITIONING, SO I AM VERY UPSET OVER THIS ISSUE. IT IS NOT JUST AN "INCONVIENENCE" AS IT WAS CALLED BY TOYOTA'S "CUSTOMER SERVICE". PLEASE SORT THIS ISSUE. *TR
I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 2005 BRAND NEW ZERO MILEAGES ON IT. IT IS TOYOTA COROLLA 2005. MY ORIGINAL COLOR OF THE CAR HOOD IS COMING OUT. IT STARTS COMING OFF. I THINK IT HAD PAINT DEFECT. PAINT IS COMING OFF AND THE CART HOOD HAS BEEN ROUGH AT ALL SIDES. THE ORIGINAL COLOR IS GRAY AND NOW LOOKS AT SCRAPPING AT ALL THE CAR HOOD. I DON'T KNOW WHAT DO TO BECAUSE IT LOOKS UGLY AND I NEVER WANTED MY CAR TO BE LIKE THIS. THE VEHICLE IT'S IN NORMAL FUNCTION AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN IN HOUSE CARPORT.

THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO ISSUE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V285000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL FOR MY AIR BAG. THE AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON THEN IT WILL GO OFF AGAIN AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS. THE LIGHT COME ON WHEN YOU START THE CAR. AFTER EVERYONE HAS PUT ON THEIR SEAT BELTS, THE LIGHT REMAINS ON, ON THE DASHBOARD. BELOW I HAVE SOME PICTURES.
TAKATA RECALL: THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS REPLACED UNDER A RECALL SEVERAL YEARS AGO. THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS NOW ON. ALSO, THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARING HAS BEEN REPLACED AT LEAST SIX TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN DECEMBER, 2008. THE FIRST TWO OR THREE WERE REPLACED WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, BUT I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE SAME RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARING ANOTHER THREE TO FOUR TIMES THEREAFTER AT MY OWN EXPENSE. THE LAST TIME I HAD TO REPLACE THE WHEEL BEARING WAS IN DECEMBER, 2016, WHILE ON VACATION. IT SEEMS THE PROBLEM JUST HASN'T BEEN PERMANENTLY SOLVED. SO FRUSTRATING AND EXPENSIVE FOR ANOTHER WONDERFUL VEHICLE.
"TAKATA RECALL" NO INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED YET.
IT TOOK WAY TOO LONG FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THE PARTS AND CALL US FOR THE REPAIR, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE MAGNITUDE OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I WAS NERVOUS FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY.

TAKATA RECALL MY SON HIT BY INFLATED DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG ON 18TH DEC2014 AT UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON RESULTED DUE TO PASSENGER SIDE TIRE HIT THE CURB RIGHT SIDE OF ROAD CURB . THIS MAY HAPPEN DUE TO PASSENGER SIDE FRONT TIRE BLEW AFTER HITTING THE CURB ( GUESS) BECAUSE CAR PASSENGER END STRUT TOUCHED THE CURB AND GOT DAMAGED . IT ALSO DAMAGED THE FIRE WALL . THE CAR WAS WITH NORMAL IN CAMPUS SPEED 25 MPH . TIRES WERE NEW & HAD REPLACED JUST THREE MONTHS BEFORE ACCIDENT . POLICE CALLED 911 & HE HAS BEEN TRANSPORTED TO ST. JOSEPH HOSPITAL , DOWNTOWN - HOUSTON DUE TO SEVER INJURIES DUE TO AIR BAG INFLATE . I WAS SHOCKED DUE TO DEEP CUT ON HIS FOREHEAD , FEW FACIAL CUTS & FRACTURED NOSE .

IN 1ST WEEK OF JULY 2017 , I RECEIVED THE NOTICE ABOUT RECALL OF AIR BAG AT MY PREVIOUS RESIDENT ADDRESS . AFTER READING THE NOTICE , I GOT SHOCKED BECAUSE OF TOYOTA'S STAND IN 2015 . I CALLED TOYOTA & ASKED THEM TO INVESTIGATE THE MATTER BUT THE CASE MANGER INFORMED THAT THE RECALL IS ASSOCIATED WITH PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG & NOTHING TO DO DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG .

CAR APPEARED TO BE RUNNING FINE. WENT TO GET A SMOG, " CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT ON, AS A RESULT I FAILED SMOG. CODE REVEALED WAS PO741( TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH CIRCUIT PERFORMANCE OR STUCK OFF) UPON VEHICLE INSPECTION FROM CANAL TRANSMISSION IN EL CAJON, CA. OWNER REVEALED THAT HE HAD COME ACROSS THIS PROBLEM ABOUT 10 TIMES WITH TOYOTA COROLLAS. HE REVEALED THAT EACH TIME HE TRIED TO FIX TORQUE CONVERTER, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD STILL REMAIN WITH SAME CODE AFTER REPAIR. HE SAID THEY FINALLY REALIZED THAT IT WAS AN ECM ISSUE AND NOT A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. IN 2010 TOYOTA DID A RECALL ON ECM. SO WHAT DO I DO? CODE IS PREVENTING ME FROM GETTING A SMOG, YET WHEN REPAIR OF TORQUE CONVERTER ATTEMPTED CHECK ENGINE CODE PO741 STILL REMAINS. I CONTACTED DEALER REGARDING CODE, THEY SCANNED CAR, THE SAME CODE APPEARED. ALL THEY OFFERED WAS 400 TO TEAR INTO TRANSMISSION TO SEE IF THEY COULD FIND ISSUE. SO IN CLOSING , WE HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REVEALING CODE P0741; THAT WHEN REPAIRS ATTEMPTED ,REPAIR CANT SEEM TO BE FIXED SATISFACTORILY TO CLEAR THE LIGHT, BECAUSE THROUGH EXPERIENCE OF TRANSMISSION SHOP IT IS A FAULTY CODE AND THE REAL PROBLEM LIES WITHIN THE ECM, WHICH WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED DURING TOYOTA RECALL. SO WHAT DO I DO? I NEED MY CAR SMOGGED TO DRIVE.WHAT OTHER PROBLEMS WILL THE ECM CREATE IN THE FUTURE? TOYOTA NEEDS TO RECALL ECM AGAIN FOR THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM AND OTHER PROBLEMS THAT MAY BE CREATED DUE TO THE FAULT Y ECM.
TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH SOLENOID PERFORMANCE. MY 18 OLD DAUGHTER JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM THIS MAN WHO HAD RESET THE CAR SO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF. AFTER US DRIVING IT HOME AND SERVER MILES LATER IT WENT OFF. HE SAID HE HAD FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION OIL AND THAT HIS MECHANIC HAD TOLD HIM TO JUST RESET IT AND IT WOULD BE FINE OBVIOUSLY IT WAS NOT FINE. WE TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC WHO IS A VERY HONEST MECHANIC HAD STATED THAT THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE . HE PULLED UP SOME RECALLS AND INDICATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL DONE ON MODELS 04305 COROLLA UNFORTUNATELY THE VIN NUMBERS WERE 1ZZ -FE. I'M CALLING THE DEALERSHIPS AND ALL THEY CAN TELL ME IS THAT THIS MAY HAVE BEEN AN EXPIRED RECALL ON MY VEHICLE THEREFORE IT'S NO LONGER UNDER THE WARRANTY OF THE RECALL . THEY'RE NOT TELLING ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS THEY'RE JUST SAYING THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR VIN NUMBER . WITH ALL THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE I'VE SEEN A LOT OF THIS ISSUE HAS ARRIVED WITH OTHER VIN NUMBERS BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN OPEN . AT THIS POINT I'M NOT EVEN TOO SURE WHAT TO DO OTHER THAN GET A NEW TRANSMISSION OR REBUILT THIS TRANSMISSION.
TAKATA RECALL (POSSIBLY) SRS AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WAS BLINKING AND NOW IT STAYS ON AT ALL TIMES AFTER STARTUP. ALSO, PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG STATES "OFF" AT ALL TIMES. IT APPEARS ALL AIRBAGS ARE DISABLED. VEHICLE WENT TO LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER 3/2/16 FOR AIR BAG RECALL/ISSUES. APPEARS PROBLEM NOT RESOLVED. ATTEMPTING TO CONTACT DEALER AGAIN.
THE VEHICLE STARTED SHOWING THE "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" AND THE ERROR CODE SHOWN WAS P0741. THE ERROR CODE SUGGESTS ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH CONVERTER SOLENOID. THIS ISSUES SEEMS TO BE COMMON ON THE 2005 COROLLA AND COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE TRANSMISSION DIES IMMEDIATELY WHILE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY OR HIGH-SPEED ROAD.
MY CAR IS BLACK COLOR, AND ITS PAINT STARTS PEELING. THE MOST SEVERE SPOT IS ON THE TOP OF THE ROOF.
THE CAR SHUTS DOWN AND STOPS WITHOUT WARNING. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO TOYOTA 2 X THIS MONTH AND STILL NOT FIXED. IT WAS JUST TOWED AGAIN TODAY. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN ONCE THE CAR IS DRIVEN FOR AWHILE AND GETS WARMED UP. WHEN IT SITS FOR AWHILE IT WILL START AGAIN. I NOTICED THAT TOYOTA RECALLED SOME 2005 COROLLAS FOR ECM REPLACEMENT BUT I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL. MY RESEARCH SEEMS TO INDICATE THIS CAR IS HAVING ECM PROBLEMS. TOYOTA HAS ALREADY REPLACED FUEL REGULATOR SENSOR( 1ST TIME) AND OXYGEN SENSOR (2ND TIME) BUT AS STATED ABOVE IT HAPPENED AGAIN 3 DAYS AFTER SECOND REPAIR. MY 17 YR OLD GRAND DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS CAR. I BELIEVE IT IS THE EMC AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN PART OF THE RECALL. THIS IS DEADLY. THE CAR JUST STOPS. IMAGINE DRIVING ACROSS A BRIDGE 65 MILE AN HOUR AND YOUR CAR STOPS NO POWER NO ACCELERATION AND YOU THINK YOUR CAR HAS BEEN FIXED BY CERTIFIED TOYOTA MECHANIC. IF ON A HILL YOU CANNOT EVEN GET OFF THE ROAD. HELP!!! ONCE SHE WAS ON A STREET AND ONCE ON HIGHWAY.

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.
I RECEIVED AN AIR SAFETY RECALL NOTICE THEREFORE I SCHEDULED AN APPT WITH BOCH TOYOTA IN NORWOOD, MA TO GET IT FIX SINCE THAT WAS THE DEALER I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM 11 YEARS AGO. ON THE DAY OF MY APPOINTMENT I WENT THERE AND THEY TOLD ME THEY REPLACED THE AIR BAG AND THAT I WAS ALL SET THEN I LEFT.TWO WEEKS AFTER WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON MY WAY HOME MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON, I IMMEDIATLY CALLED BOCH TOYOTA THEY ASKED THAT I BRING THE CAR, I WENT THERE DIRECTLY. WHEN I ARRIVED THEY TOOK MY CAR TO GO CHECK WHY THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON, I REMINDED THEM THAT I WAS THERE TWO WEEKS AGO MAYBE THEY HAD FORGTOTTEN TO DO SOMETHING. THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME HE WOULD HAVE A MECHANIC TAKE A LOOK; AN HOUR AFTER ANOTHER SERVICE ADVISR LARRY CAME AND TOLD ME THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED THAT I WOULD COST ME $800. I TOLD HIM I HAD MY CAR FOR 11 YEARS AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT NEVER HAD ANY ISSUE UNTIL I BROUGHT MY CAR THERE FOR THEM TO FIX THE AIR BAG AS REQUESTED BY THE TOYOTA COMPANY;LARRY TOLD ME THE ISSUE THE CAR HAS NOW IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE SAFETY RECALL AND THAT MY ONLY OPTION WAS TO GET IT FIX, HE ALSO SAID THAT IF I WAS INVOLVE IN A CAR ACCIDENT THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. I TOLD HIM THAT IT WAS BOCH TOYOTA'S RESPONSIBILTY TO FIX IT, HE TOLD ME IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE. NEXT THEY BROUGHT MY CAR FOR ME THEN I LEFT. MY AIR BAG LIGHT IS STILL ON IN THE CAR, I HAVE ASKED TWO MECHANICS FOR SUGGESTIONS AND THEY BOTH INFORMED ME THAT BOCH TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE TAKEN CARE OF IT. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE CONTACT ME ? I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO PROCEED WITH THIS SICE I'M DRIVING A CAR WITH AIR BAGS THAT WILL NOT DEPLOY IN CASE I HAVE AN ACCIDENT.

ONLY 94,000 MILES, FULLY DEALER MAINTAINED, 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. TRAVELING AT EXPRESSWAY SPEEDS AND LOUD SCREECHING/BANGING FROM TRANSMISSION. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE 6 MORE MILES TO DEALERSHIP, BUT MOVED TO RIGHT LANE AND WENT SLOWER. STILL WAS ABLE TO SHIFT, LOWER GEARS WEREN'T ENGAGING PROPERLY AND CAR STARTED DYING ON THE ROAD. DEALER DIAGNOSIS FOR $100 IS THAT IT NEEDS AN ENTIRE NEW 5 SPD TRANS AND CLUTCH ASSEMBLY, ALTHOUGH CLUTCH SEEMS FINE.I'VE DRIVEN MANUAL TRANS FOR OVER 40 YRS. THIS CAR NEVER EVEN HAD A CLUTCH REPAIR. RESEARCH ON THE WEB INDICATES THAT THIS IS A KNOWN POINT OF FAILURE THAT TOYOTA HAS CHOSEN NOT TO FIX AND THE POTENTIAL DANGER OF HAVING THIS TRANSMISSION BLOWING OUT AT HIGH SPEED COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR CRASH ON THE HIGHWAY HAD I NOT BEEN SKILLED AT GETTING THE CAR INTO A SAFE AREA. *TR

MY TIME ON THE WAITING LIST IS NOW RESET AND WILL BE ANOTHER 3 OR MORE MONTHS.
TAKATA RECALL. WHERE TO START. I RECEIVED A LETTER IN JUNE 2015 ABOUT THE RECALL. IN DECEMBER 2015 I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH YOU BECAUSE NOTHING WAS BEING DONE. STILL NOTHING. IN MAY 2016 MY DAUGHTER RECEIVED A LETTER ALSO FOR THE TAKATA RECALL ON HER YARIS WITH A LETTER SAYING NOT TO LET ANYONE RIDE IN HER FRONT SEAT. SERIOUSLY? I WAS NOT TOLD THIS. I COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE OR SERIOUSLY INJURED THEM. (MY DAUGHTER NEEDS A RENTAL BTW BECAUSE I DOINT WANT HER DRIVING HER CAR TILL IT IS SAFE) WHEN MY DAD FOUND OUT HE WENT TO TOYOTA AND GUESS WHAT? SUDDENLY THEY HAD THE PART FOR MY CAR AND ORDERED MY DAUGHTERS. THEY PUT IT IN YESTERDAY. WHEN I WENT TO GET MY CAR I WAS INFORMED THAT MY PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON AND THAT IT NEEDED A SPIRAL ASSEMBLY. FOR 476.00. RIGHT. THEY SAID IT WAS NOT RELATED OR COVERED. I FOUND A WEB PAGE WITH SIXTY THREE PEOPLE WHO HAD THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPEN TO THEM. NOW BOTH MY AIRBAG LIGHTS ARE ON AND MY CLOCK DOES NOT WORK. I DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THIS. IT IS CAUSING ME EXTREME STRESS AS I TAKE CARE OF MY ELDERLY MOM AND MY GRAND DAUGHTER. I BELIEVE IT IS RELATED. GOD ONLY KNOWS HOW MANY OTHERS THIS HHAS HAPPENED TO. IT CAN NOT BE A COINCIDENCE.I FEEL ANOTHER RECALL NEEDS TO BE DONE AS THE DID DO ONE IN CANADA BUT ON ADIFFERENT MODEL CAR. CANT REMEMBER...#NOMORETOYOTAS

TAKATA RECALL - FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR MODULE. RECEIVED LETTER FROM TOYOTA THAT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO FIX THIS ISSUE IN MY AREA ON FEB-2016. SO I CALLED LOCAL DEALER, STEVENS CREEK TOYOTA AND THEY PUT ME IN WAITING LIST. AND I HAVE WAITED FOR 2 MONTHS NOTHING HAPPENED. SO I CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER ON 04/23/2016 AND CASE # 1604230474 CREATED WITH TOYOTA. AGAIN DEALER SAID ANOTHER 6 TO 8 WEEKS ON 04/23/2016. AGAIN I CALLED TODAY (07/02/2016), DEALER IS SAYING ANOTHER 6 TO 8 WEEKS. I WANT TO KNOW, IF TOYOTA IS NOT PROVIDING ENOUGH PARTS TO DEALER OR IF DEALER IS NOT DOING THEIR JOB? ADDRESS OF STEVENS CREEK TOYOTA: 4202 STEVENS CREEK BLVD, SAN JOSE, CA 95129 PH# : 1-855-395-4521 WHAT KIND OF OVERSIGHT GOVERNMENT IS HAVING OVER THIS RECALL? .

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA SAYING THAT "TOYOTA HAS COMPLETED PARTS PREPARATION FOR VEHICLES IN YOUR GEOGRAPHIC AREA." YET WHEN I CALLED A NEARBY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT, I WAS TOLD THAT THE PART WOULDN'T BE AVAILABLE FOR 6-8 WEEKS (EVENTUALLY THE PERSON SAID SHE "OBSERVED THAT THEY ARRIVED IN 4 WEEKS"). IS THIS WHAT IT MEANS FOR PARTS PREPARATION TO BE COMPLETE? TO THEN REQUIRE AN ADDITIONAL 4-8 WEEKS TO ROLL OUT?

IN 2011 THE ECM (ENGINE CONTROL MODULE) WAS REPLACED IN MY 2005 COROLLA AS PART OF A NATIONAL SAFETY RECALL AOJ. IN JUST UNDER 5 YEARS AND 22K MILES LATER THE REPLACED ECM STARTED DEMONSTRATING FAILING SYMPTOMS, INCLUDING MALFUNCTIONING TACHOMETER, ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE, AND A/C MALFUNCTIONS. OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME ISSUE ON THEIR REPLACED ECMS. BASED ON INFORMATION AVAILABLE FOR THE ORIGINAL RECALL, THE ORIGINAL ECM ISSUE RELATES TO POOR SOLDERING JOINTS WITHIN THE ECM. THE ISSUE WITH THE REPLACED ECMS IS LIKELY THE SAME, ALTHOUGH THE AFFECTED ELEMENTS WITHIN THE ECM MAY DIFFER FROM OWNER TO OWNER. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND ASKED TO BE REIMBURSED FOR MY COST TO REPLACE THE 2ND ECM BUT THEY REFUSED. I ALSO REQUESTED TO SEND IN THE FAULTY REPLACED ECM FOR DIAGNOSIS AND ANALYSIS, REFERENCING THE ORIGINAL SAFETY RECALL AND HOW THE REPLACED ECM MAY HAVE THE SAME UNDERLYING SOLDERING ISSUES BUT TOYOTA REFUSED THIS COURSE OF ACTION. I CREATED A VIDEO DEMONSTRATING THE ISSUE - YOU CAN SEE IT ON YOUTUBE AT HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=VSL8GYNZSMK (OR SEARCH YOTUBE FOR "2005 COROLLA TACHOMETER ECM ISSUE" IF THE PREVIOUS LINK DOESN'T WORK).
"TAKATA RECALL" IT'S BEEN ONE YEAR SINCE MY CAR HAS BEEN PLACED ON THE RECALL LIST (6-15-2015). CLOSE TO ONE YEAR SINCE I GOT THE REMEDY NOTICE (6-1-2016). ACTED QUICKLY TO THE NOTICE. (MADE A APPOINTMENT ON THE WEBSITE WITH ONE DEALERSHIP ON (6-2-16) FOR WORK TO BE DONE ON (6-11-16) FOUND OUT THAT DAY THE PART STILL NEEDS TO BE ORDERED.) NOWHERE IN THE REMEDY NOTICE INFORMED ME THE PART STILL NEED TO BE ORDERED. IT SAID "TOYOTA HAS COMPLETED PARTS PREPARATION FOR MY VEHICLE IN MY GEOGRAPHIC ARE" AND I'M STILL WAITING. CALLED TOYOTA TWICE NOW, FIRST TIME (6-11-16) THEY SAID ONE TO TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE PART IS IN. IT'S NOW BEEN THREE WEEKS, NO CALL FROM TOYOTA, I CALLED ON (6-28-16) AND WAS TOLD ANOTHER TWO WEEKS BEFORE THEY GET THE PART. TOYOTA KNOWING MY CAR WAS DEFECTED SINCE JUNE 15, 2015. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF BY NOW! I'M STILL WAITING FOR THE PART AND I CAN'T SELL IT! IM DRIVING A TICKING TIME AIR BAG BOMB AND TOYOTA WANTS ME TO WAIT EVEN LONGER? AM I WAITING FOR THIS TO GO OFF BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE? HOPE THE METAL FRAGMENTS DON'T FLY IN THE BACK SEAT WHERE MY DOG IS! OR FLY SIDE WAYS AND HIT ME WHEN I'M DRIVING! IT'S ALREADY INCONVENIENCE I CAN'T HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A "PRELIMINARY NOTICE" MONTHS AGO, TELLING ME NOT TO HAVE ANY FRONT-SEAT PASSENGERS IN MY CAR, AND THAT I WOULD BE CONTACTED AGAIN WHEN THE PART WAS READY. LAST WEEK I FINALLY RECEIVED AN "URGENT RECALL NOTICE." I CALLED TODAY TO SCHEDULE THE APPOINTMENT AND WAS TOLD THEY STILL DON'T HAVE THE PART IN AND THAT SOMEONE WOULD CONTACT ME. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I ESSENTIALLY HAVE HALF A CAR, AND TOYOTA IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT.
TAKATA RECALL - I CALLED GREEN'S TOYOTA IN LEXINGTON KY SHORTLY AFTER RECEIVING THE RECALL NOTICE TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR. I EXPLAINED THAT I WANTED TO BRING IT IN ON THE 1ST AVAILABLE SATURDAY. I WAS ROUTED TO MANY PEOPLE AND FINALLY AFTER SPEAKING TO MARION BAILEY (SERVICE MGR), I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER THE PART AND ONCE IT ARRIVED, I COULD SCHEDULE TO REPAIR. YESTERDAY I RECEIVED NOTICE THAT THE PART WAS RECEIVED. I CALLED TODAY, AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY DO NOT DO SATURDAY RECALL REPAIRS. MY FORMAL COMPLAINT IS THAT 1. THEY COULD HAVE AN SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME THIS BEFORE HAVING WAIT 4 WEEKS FOR A PART TO ARRIVE, AND THEN HAVING TO FIND ANOTHER DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR THIS, AND WAIT ANOTHER 4 WEEKS FOR THE PART TO ARRIVE, AND 2. WE SIMPLY CANNOT BRING THIS CAR IN FOR REPAIR DURING THE WEEK AS WE BOTH WORK AND CANNOT SPEND THE MAJORITY OF A WORK DAY WAITING FOR A REPAIR. WE HAVE A FEW SATURDAYS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO US IN THE NEXT SEVERAL WEEKS AND NEED TO GET THIS REPAIR COMPLETED. I AM FORMALLY NOTIFYING THE NHTSA AND TOYOTA CORPORATION OF AMERICA THAT WE HAVE MADE EVERY REASONABLE EFFORT TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER AS OUTLINED IN THE TOYOTA RECALL NOTICE. HOWEVER, WE HAVE MET RESISTANCE AND DELAYS AT MOST EVERY ATTEMPT TO GET THIS RECALL REPAIR COMPLETED. I AM ASKING FOR SPECIFIC AND IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE IN LOCATING A DEALER CLOSE TO OUR LOCATION, THAT WILL REPAIR THIS ITEM ON A SATURDAY, AND FOR EXPEDITED SCHEDULING AND ORDERING/RECEIVING OF THE RECALL REPAIR PART.
TAKATA RECALL - I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH OURISMAN TOYOTA IN FAIRFAX, VA TO HAVE THE AIRBAG REPLACED. I CALLED THE PARTS DEPARTMENT TO CONFIRM AVAILABILITY OF THE AIRBAG PRIOR TO MY APPOINTMENT BUT RECEIVED NO RETURN CALL TO MY VOICEMAIL. WHEN I ARRIVED FOR MY APPOINTMENT I WAS TOLD THAT THE WAITING LIST AT OURISMAN FOR THIS PART IS AT LEAST MANY WEEKS AND POSSIBLY SEVERAL MONTHS AS THEY DO NOT KNOW WHEN NEW SHIPMENTS OF AIRBAGS WILL ARRIVE OR HOW MANY WILL BE COMING. THE ONLY EXPLANATION FOR MY NOT HAVING RECEIVED A CALL BACK WAS THAT "WE USE A CALL CENTER NOW AND WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING." MY WIFE IS LEAVING WITH THE CAR FOR CANADA IN JUST OVER A WEEK AND IS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MAKING A LONG HIGHWAY TRIP WITH THE AIRBAG SITUATION STILL UNRESOLVED.

TAKATA RECALL - SIMILAR TO OTHERS WHO HAVE WRITTEN COMPLAINTS, I RECEIVED A LETTER NEARLY A YEAR AGO SAYING THAT I WAS INVOLVED IN THE RECALL AND THAT THERE WERE PARTS AVAILABLE IN MY AREA. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT AT MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP (KEARNY MESA) ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THEY PARTS WEREN'T IN YET AND THAT THEY'D LET ME KNOW WHEN THEY WERE. ...I REALIZE THERE ARE A LOT OF CARS AFFECTED BY THIS. I ALSO REALIZE THAT MY REGION HAS LOW HUMIDITY AND THERE'S LESS CONCERN FOR THE AIRBAG TO MALFUNCTION...BUT THIS REALLY IS UNACCEPTABLE. NEARLY A YEAR LATER AND I HAVE TO EITHER "NOT DRIVE WITH ANYONE" OR GIVE THEM A FAIR WARNING THAT SAYS "HEY, THAT AIRBAG MIGHT NOT BE SAFE, THANKS FOR RIDING WITH ME!" IT'S ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS THAT THERE ISN'T A FASTER RESPONSE OR WAY TO SEE WHEN WE'LL BE ABLE TO GET OUR CARS FIXED.

"TAKATA RECALL" I RECEIVED A NOTICE STATING THAT "TOYOTA HAS COMPLETED PARTS PREPARATION FOR VEHICLES IN YOUR GEOGRAPHIC AREA" YET WHEN I CALL OUR LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER, THEY TELL ME THAT TOYOTA IS ONLY ALLOWING THEM TO ORDER 1 PART PER WEEK!! THEY HAVE PUT MY NAME ON THE LIST, BUT SAID THEY WILL SEE ME IN ABOUT A YEAR. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. THIS IS MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER'S VEHICLE AND THIS ISSUE NEEDS FIXED NOW, NOT A YEAR FROM NOW. SHE HAS ALREADY BEEN DRIVING IT TOO LONG WITH THIS UNSAFE DEFECT. WHAT IS TOYOTA GOING TO DO IF SOMETHING HAPPENS BETWEEN NOW AND WHEN THEY DECIDE TO LET DEALERS ORDER MORE THAN 1 PART PER WEEK?? I WOULD LIKE AN EXPLANATION AND A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM FOR A QUICKER REPAIR!

TAKATA RECALL. I GOT A LETTER FROM TOYOTA INSTRUCTING ME TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. I CONTACTED PRIORITY TOYOTA OF SPRINGFIELD, VA. 7601 LOISDALE RD, SPRINGFIELD, VA 22150 TO SCHEDULE THE REPAIR. AFTER I PROVIDED THE VIN, THEY INSTRUCTED ME THAT I MUST BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR A PRE-INSPECTION, THEN THEY WILL ORDER THE PART, WHICH WILL TAKE A WEEK TO ARRIVE, THEN I CAN BRING THE CAR BACK AND WAIT FOR THE REPAIR WHICH WILL TAKE 3-4 HOURS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. TOYOTA HAS A FAULTY PART AND THEY NEED TO MAKE IT RIGHT WITH CUSTOMERS, NOT MAKE US JUMP THROUGH A BUNCH OF HOOPS. THE RECALL NOTICE CLEARLY STATES NOT TO ALLOW SOMEONE TO SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE REPAIR IS MADE.
IT HAS BEEN NEARLY 2 YEARS SINCE I DISCOVERED THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS ON RECALL. TOYOTA DEALER IS STILL SAYING IT COULD BE UP TO 1 MORE YEAR BEFORE THEY CAN GET IT REPLACED.

I RECEIVED A LETTER IN SEPTEMBER 2015 ABOUT MY CAR HAVING A RECALL ON IT'S AIRBAGS. TOYOTA SAID THEY WOULD CALL WHEN THEY HAD THE PART IN. I WAITED UNTIL JANUARY 2016. I CALLED MY TOYOTA DEALER IN JANUARY AND ASKED THEM IF THE PART WAS IN YET. THEY SAID NO AND THAT I HAD TO ORDER THE PART. PRIOR TO THIS, MY ORIGINAL LETTER DID NOT TELL ME THAT I NEEDED TO ORDER A PART. IT SIMPLY TOLD ME TO WAIT FOR A CALL FROM TOYOTA WHEN THE PART WAS IN. SO THEN THEY ORDERED THE PART IN JANUARY. IN MARCH, I STILL HAD NOT HEARD ANYTHING. I CALLED AND ASKED ABOUT MY PART AND THEY SAID THEY STILL DID NOT HAVE IT. I FINALLY RECEIVED A LETTER SAYING MY PART WAS READY ON MAY 23RD 2016. I CALLED MY TOYOTA DEALER TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. THE SERVICE RECEPTIONIST I SPOKE WITH WAS VERY SHORT AND RUDE WITH ME. SHE TOLD ME THAT MY PART WAS STILL NOT IN AND THAT SHE HAD NO WAY OF TELLING ME WHEN IT WOULD ARRIVE. I HAVE HAD TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE SINCE SEPTEMBER 2015. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WAIT ALMOST AN ENTIRE YEAR FOR MY RECALL TO BE FIXED. I AM STILL WAITING AND DO NOT KNOW WHEN MY TOYOTA DEALER WILL BE ABLE TO FIX MY CAR.
TAKATA RECALL. IN REGARDS TO MY RECALL AIRBAG REPAIR, WHY IS IT THAT MY 2004 TOYOTA COROLLA ALREADY HAD THE REPAIR PERFORMED? SEEMS I GET A DIFFERENT ANSWER EVERYTIME I ASK THAT QUESTION. NOW MY 2005 COROLLA MATRIX WHICH IS CURRENTLY 11 YEARS OLD IS FINALLY HAVING THIS REPAIR PERFORMED. AND TOYOTA'S RECOMMENDATION IS THAT I DO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. WHAT ABOUT THE PREVIOUS 11 YEARS THAT RODE IN THAT SEAT WITH THE SAME DEFECT? IF TOYOTA TRULY CARED ABOUT MY SAFETY, THEY SHOULD HAVE MADE THAT SUGGESTION WHEN THEY FIRST KNEW OF IT. BUT THEY PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE SOLD VERY MANY 4 PASSENGER COROLLAS SET-UP WITH 3 PEOPLE IN THE BACK SEAT AND ONLY THE DRIVER SITTING IN FRONT. HECK, TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS THEY SHOULD HAVE REMOVED THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OR REMOVED THE BACK OF THAT SEAT ALONG WITH THE SEAT-BELT TO GUARANTEE NOBODY RIDES IN THAT SEAT. BUT NONE OF THOSE THINGS HAPPENED SIMPLY BECAUSE TRUTH BE TOLD, IT ONLY BECAME A SAFETY ISSUE ONCE TOYOTA HAD TO COME TO TERMS WITH THE DEFECT; THEIR BEHAVIOR IS SIMPLY UNACCEPTABLE. A SINCERE APOLOGY WOULD STATE "FOR ANY INCONVENIENCES THIS HAS CAUSED." INSTEAD OF "WE SINCERELY APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE THIS WILL CAUSE, BUT WE ARE TAKING THIS ACTION TO ENSURE YOUR SAFETY." CAUGHT IN THEIR OWN LIE IS WHAT REALLY OCCURRED AGAIN IF THEY TRULY CARED WE WOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ASAP.....THE PEOPLE I FEEL THE MOST PAIN FOR ARE THOSE UNFORTUNATE PEOPLE WHO GOT INTO A FRONT CAR ACCIDENT AND DID EVERYTHING RIGHT, BUT THEIR AIRBAG, THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO SAVE THEIR LIFE, WOUND UP EITHER INJURING THEM OR NOT DOING ITS INTENDED JOB ALL WHILE TOYOTA KNEW OF THE PROBLEM. I HOPE NOBODY LOST THEIR LIFE DUE TO THIS BECAUSE NO AMOUNT OF MONEY CAN EVER BRING BACK THAT PERSON. JUST SO UN-JAPANESE BEHAVIOR BY A JAPANESE COMPANY, SHAME TOYOTA MOTORS. *TR
I HAD TO REPLACE MY ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) BECAUSE THE ENGINE WOULD LOOSE POWER AND CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON STREET. THIS BECAME NOTICEABLE AFTER A RAIN STORM. I WAS TOLD BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS A MATRIX XRS, IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL FOR THE OTHER MATRIX MODELS; THEREFORE I SPENT APPROX. $1000 IN HAVING THE ECM REPLACED. I HAD ALL OF THE SAME CITED SYMPTOMS. PLEASE INCLUDE MY ENGINE IN THE RECALL SO I MAY BE REIMBURSED. THANKS YOU.

IN LATE 2004, I FINANCED A BRAND NEW 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA WHILE RESIDING IN SOUTH FLORIDA. IN SUMMER 2008, I RELOCATED TO MASSACHUSETTS. IT WAS IN WINTER 2008 THAT THE ENGINE WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. I WASN'T REALLY GIVEN A REAL EXPLANATION OF WHY THE WARNING LAMP WAS ILLUMINATED. I WAS QUICKLY TOLD IT COULD BE FIXED. SO I PAID APPROX. $800.00 TO SUPPOSEDLY HAVE IT FIXED. LITERALLY, TWO WEEKS LATER THE ENGINE WARNING LAMP CAME BACK ON. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG AND WOULD HAVE TO RUN MORE DIAGNOSTIC TEST THAT WOULD COST ADDITIONAL MONEY. AT THE TIME, I DID NOT HAVE ADDITIONAL MONEY SINCE I HAD JUST DISHED OUT NEARLY $800.00. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO INDEPENDENT AUTO SHOPS IN WHICH THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. IN THE STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS, YEARLY INSPECTIONS OF AN OPERATING VEHICLE IS REQUIRED. FOR THE PAST YEARS, I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE LIGHT MANUALLY TURNED OFF HOPING THAT IT WOULD NOT COME ON IN TIME FOR THE CAR TO BE INSPECTED. THE CAR HAS FAILED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS BECAUSE THE ENGINE WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION TO THE ENGINE WARNING LAMP BEING ILLUMINATED, I HAVE ALSO AND STILL EXPERIENCE HARSH SHIFTING. THE HARSH SHIFTING STARTED APPROX. IN LATE 2009/2010. I ALSO STARTED NOTICING DECREASED LIGHTING VISIBILITY IN 2011. AT NIGHT, I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH MY HIGH BEAMS TO SEE PROPERLY. OUT OF FRUSTRATION, I GAVE UP ON TRYING TO FIND THE CAUSE FOR THESE ISSUES. I JUST DEALT WITH IT. I DON'T FREQUENTLY USE THE VEHICLE NOW BECAUSE I LIVE IN AN AREA THAT IS ACCESSIBLE TO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION THAT ALLOWS ME TO GET TO WORK. MOST RECENTLY, I WAS INFORMED BY A FELLOW COROLLA OWNER THAT IN 2009-2010 TOYOTA RECALLED FOR ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING AND HEADLAMPS. I NEVER RECEIVED NOTIFICATIONS OF SUCH RECALLS!
WAS NOTIFIED OVER A YEAR AGO ABOUT RECALL. NEVER REC'D WORD FROM TOYOTA ABOUT PART BEING AVAILABLE. CALLED LAST MONTH AND PART WAS ORDERED. REC'D ANOTHER LETTER FROM TOYOTA STATING SAME PROBLEM. CALLED NEWARK TOYOTA ABOUT STATUS OF PART ORDERED. STILL ON WAITING LIST. NO EXPLANATION WHY THIS IS TAKING SO LONG. CALLED CORPORATE. APPARENTLY PARTS ARE BACKORDERED AND NOTHING BEING SENT TO DEALERSHIP. APPARENTLY THEY ARE STILL USING THE SAME MANUFACTURER FOR THE MODULE THAT SUPPLIED ALL THE FAULTY VEHICLES. WHY!!! IT SEEMS THAT THEY REALLY ARE NOT TAKING THIS VERY SERIOUSLY. WHY AREN'T WE OFFERED LOANER OR RENTAL CARS AS IN THE CASE OF HONDA WHO HAS THE SAME PROBLEM? HOW MANY LIVES ARE EXPENDABLE BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE TO REMEDY THE SITUATION. I SEE THAT THERE ARE OVER SEVEN MILLION REPAIRS SO FAR. WHEN WILL MY CAR BE FIXED?

I OWN A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA. THIS WEEK I NOTICED THAT MY AIR CONDITIONER WAS BLOWING HOT AIR. WHEN I HAD IT LOOKED AT BY A MECHANIC, I WAS TOLD THAT DEBRIS GOT INTO THE CONDENSER AND DAMAGED IT, REQUIRING A REPAIR. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND DISCOVERED THAT TOYOTA ISSUED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN AC002-06 "LOWER GRILLE MESH PROTECTION COVER," WHICH ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE FAILURE TO INCLUDE A PROTECTION COVER NEAR THE MESH GRILLE HAS CAUSED DEBRIS TO GET INTO THE AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSER, AND THEREBY DAMAGING IT. TOYOTA HAS INCLUDED THE GRILLE PROTECTION COVER IN SUBSEQUENT TOYOTA COROLLA MODELS, BUT IT REFUSES TO ADD THE COVER TO THE OLDER MODELS OR REIMBURSE CUSTOMERS FOR THE EXPENSE IN REPLACING DAMAGED CONDENSERS THAT HAVE RESULTED FROM THIS DESIGN DEFECT.

TAKATA RECALL AFTER I RECEIVED THE FIRST RECALL LETTER FROM TOYOTA IT SAID REMEDY WAS NOT AVAILABLE AND I WOULD RECEIVE ANOTHER FOLLOWUP LETTER WHEN AVAILABLE. I NEVER RECEIVED ONE. I CALLED THE DEALER ON 11-5-15 TO FOLLOW UP AND THEY SAID NO PARTS WERE AVAILABLE YET.. I CALL 4-4-16 AND WAS TOLD THE PART WAS AVAILABLE AND TO GET IT FIXED MY OPTIONS WERE LEAVE THE CARE FOR 4-6 HOURS AND RENT A CAR OR HAVE A POSSIBILITY OF WAITING FOR THEIR SHUTTLE THAT HAS A 10 MILE LIMIT. I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A RENTAL OR MISS WORK TO HAVE THIS REPAIR DONE. THE DEALER TOLD ME TO CONTACT TOYOTA CORPORATE WHICH I DID. I WAS INITIALLY TOLD THAT, YES, RETNTALS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE SUPPLED AND THEY HAD ME TALK WITH A PERSON AT THE NEXT LEVEL TO HOPEFULLY WORK IT OUT. I WAS TOLD BY THIS LEVEL PERSON THAT THEY ONLY SUPPLIED RENTALS FOR PEOPLE WHO REQUESTED THEM PRIOR TO A REMEDY AND PARTS AVAILABLE. I CONFIRMED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE PAID FOR A RENTAL FOR A FEW MONTHS BUT WON'T PAY FOR ONE FOR ONE DAY? THEY SAID THAT WAS CORRECT. . I CANNOT AFFORD A RENTAL CAR OR TAKING TIE OFF WORK TO GET THIS FIXED. DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE?

I CALLED DEALER AND WAS TOLD TOYOTA HAD PLACED A 3 PER WEEK LIMIT AND THAT THE DEALER WOULD NEED TO ORDER AND EXPECT DELIVERY IN TWO WEEKS. THAT TO ME IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.

TAKATA RECALL: I RECEIVED MY ONLY NOTIFICATION FROM TOYOTA THE SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN LATE JUNE EARLY JULY 2015 REGARDING THE INFLATOR PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, THE ISSUE IS CAUSED BY INTRUSION OF MOISTURE INTO THE INFLATOR SYSTEM OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG THAT CAUSES THE INFLATOR TO EXPLODE IF THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED. THIS EXPLOSION HAS BEEN LINKED TO MANY CASES OF SERIOUS INJURY AND/OR DEATH. THE NOTICE INFORMED ME I WOULD RECEIVE ANOTHER NOTIFICATION WHEN PARTS WERE AVAILABLE IN MY AREA TO HAVE THE REPLACEMENT CONDUCTED. IT IS NOW FEBRUARY 20, 2016 AND IN 8 MONTHS I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY MORE INFORMATION REGARDING THIS SERIOUS LIFE THREATENING ISSUE. FROM THE INFORMATION I HAVE FOUND ONLINE, THE PARTS SHOULD HAVE STARTED TO BE AVAILABLE IN OREGON IN SEPTEMBER 2015, THAT WAS 5 MONTHS AGO AND I HAVE YET TO HEAR ANY INFORMATION ON WHEN I CAN EXPECT THIS ISSUE TO BE RESOLVED. IN THE NOTICE IT ASKED TO NOT HAVE ANYONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OF THE VEHICLE UNTIL REPAIRS CAN BE MADE. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A SAFETY PRECAUTION, HOWEVER, AFTER 8 MONTHS AND COUNTING IT HAS BECOME QUITE AN INCONVENIENCE. FURTHERMORE, I LIVE IN PORTLAND, OR AND IT IS VERY HUMID/MOIST IN THIS REGION OF THE COUNTRY. THIS CAUSES EVEN MORE CONCERN TO ME THAT THIS ISSUE IS NOT BEING RESOLVED IN A TIME SENSITIVE MANNER. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT I HAVE NOT RECEIVED TIMELY NOTICE OR INFORMATION REGARDING WHEN PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN MY REGION OF THE COUNTRY AND AFTER 8 MONTHS, I AM REQUESTING SOMEONE CONTACT ME WITH MORE INFORMATION THAT CAN HELP ME RESOLVE THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

TAKATA RECALL - I PURCHASED THE CAR IN JULY 2015 AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE TAKATA INFLATOR FOR MY CAR. I TOOK IT TO DAYTONA TOYOTA IN DAYTONA BEACH, FLORIDA TO HAVE ANOTHER RECALL ON THE CAR REMEDIED. THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD BE CALLING ME WHEN THEY HAD THE INFLATOR MODULE PART IN FOR MY CAR. OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS THEY CALLED ME WHEN THE PART CAME IN AND EACH TIME I WAS SENT HOME BECAUSE IT TURNS OUT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART AFTER ALL. I FILED A COMPLAINT ON THEIR FACEBOOK PAGE AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER CONTACTED ME VIA THE TELEPHONE. HE TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NO SUCH PART OR RECALL FOR MY CAR. I TRUSTED HIM, REMOVED THE COMPLAINT AND HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE EVER SINCE. HOWEVER, I AM SERIOUSLY CONCERNED HE LIED TO ME JUST TO GET ME TO DELETE MY COMPLAINT.

TAKATA RECALL IT HAS BEEN ALMOST SIX MONTHS AND I HAVE NOT RECIEVED NOTIFICATION OF AVAILABLE REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THE AIR BAG IN MY 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA.

I EXPECT A RESOLUTION FOR THIS ISSUE SOON THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, [XXX] 'INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'

DRIVER'S WINDOW. MY WIFE HAD JUST STARTED HER 2005 TOYOTA MATRIX AND PUT THE WINDOW DOWN. WHEN SHE PUT IT BACK UP, THE WINDOW SUDDENLY ROTATED AND STARTED TO SLIDE DOWN INSIDE THE DOOR. I WAS ABLE TO MANUALLY PULL THE GLASS BACK INTO POSITION. WE TRIED PUTTING IT UP A SECOND TIME AND THE WINDOW TRIED TO ROTATE DOWN INSIDE THE DOOR AGAIN. AFTER REALIGNING IT AND GENTLY LEANING ON THE GLASS, WE WERE ABLE TO FULLY CLOSE THE WINDOW. THE CAR HAS 150,000 MILES.

COMPLAINT # 10789443..... TOYOTA NEEDS TO TAKE CHARGE OF THIS SITUATION... WE ARE A TOYOTA FAMILY BUT WE ARE LOSING FAITH IN THIS COMPANY.. NOTIFIED 06-2015... NO WORD FROM ANY SOURCES. [XXX]. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
TAKATA RECALL, CALLED DEALERSHIP 6 MONTHS AGO BEEN ON A WAITING LIST EVER SINCE. YET, THE RECALL ASK YOU NOT TO DRIVE YOUR CAR BUT YOU HAVE TO DRIVE IT TO GET TO WORK. I KNOW THE LETTER IS TO PROTECT TOYOTA BUT WHAT ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS THAT PURCHASED THE CAR IN GOOD FAITH. WHEN WILL THEY HAVE ENOUGH AIR BAGS FOR ME TO GET OFF THE WAITING LIST 6 MONTHS IS WAY TOO LONG TO BE WAITING.
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
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.

THEREFORE, I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT BEC TOYOTA HAS FAILED OR IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THIS DANGEROUS DEFECT WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME, KNOWINGLY JEOPARDIZING SAFETY.

TAKATA RECALL: MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE NHTSA SITE SAYS THE RECALL WAS 6/16/2015. I ONLY GOT THE NOTICE IN PROBABLY AUGUST BUT THERE IS NOT DATE ON IT. THIS MEANS I CANNOT CARRY A PASSENGER IN MY FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WITHOUT LIABILITY. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER AND TOYOTA. NEITHER KNOWS ANY TIME THIS WILL BE FIXED IN MY AREA, OREGON. IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT I HAVE TO CAN'T CARRY A PASSENGER IN MY CAR FOR SUCH A LONG TIME. IS THERE A FIX? WHEN ARE YOU REQUIRING TOYOTA TO SUPPLY PARTS? CAN I ASK THEM FORA RENTAL CAR UNTIL THEY GET THIS FIXED? THEY SHOULD HAVE DATED THEIR LETTER!

TAKATA RECALL: IN JUNE 2015 I RECEIVED THIS NOTICE OF A SAFETY RECALL DUE TO THE AIRBAG INFLATORS POSSIBLY BEING MANUFACTURED IN SUCH A WAY AS TO WHERE THEY COULD RETAIN MOISTURE WHICH COULD RUPTURE AND CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.I AM ADVISED TO NOT LET ANYONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT TILL IT IS FIXED. IT HAS BEEN SIX MONTHS! THIS IS WAY WAY BEYOND A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO HAVE THIS FIXED. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE TOYOTA! I AM THE CARE TAKER OF MY ELDERLY PARENTS AND DRIVE THEM ON ERRANDS AND TO APPTS ECT. I ALSO CARE FOR MY GRAND DAUGHTER. AND CARPOOL TO SCHOOL. THIS HAS BEEN A HUGH BURDEN ON ME. FOR THE RECORD MY AIR BAG LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON, AND MY CLOCK AND STEREO KEEP RESETTING. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG CONSTANTLY BLINKS AND THE NO SEAT BELT SIGN BLINKS AND BEEPS AS IF SOMEONE WAS SITTING THERE WITH OUT A SEATBELT. YOU ARE UNPREPARED TO FIX THIS SITUATION, AND I FIND THIS UNACCEPTABLE. EVERYTIME I GET IN MY CAR, I AM WORRIED THEY COULD DEFLATE AND INJURE OR KILL MYSELF OR MY PARENTS OR GRANDDAUGHTER. UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO USE MY VEHICLE AS IT IS THE ONLY ONE I HAVE. YOU MAY CONTACT ME ASAP REGARDING A RENTAL CAR UNTIL THIS IS RESOLVED. I AM NO LONGER PUTTING MY LIFE AT RISK BECAUSE YOU ARE UNPREPARED ! I WILL BE FILING A COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB AS SOON AS I AM DONE WITH THIS, AND WILL CONTACT AN ATTORNEY IF NEED BE.

AFTER FIVE PHONE CALLS I FINALLY GOT AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE RECALL. MY CAR SAT WITH THE HOOD UP FROM 11:00AM TO 3:00PM FOR ME TO BE TOLD THEY CAN'T GET THE AIRBAG LIGHT OFF. I WAS TOLD I NEED TO PURCHASE AN AIRBAG CABLE FOR $485.99 + TAX.
TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. WE RECEIVED THE RECALL LETTER IN AUGUST. SINCE THEN, WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO USE OUR CAR WITH ANYONE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THAT PUTS A STRAIN ON OUR FAMILY...WE CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR WITH 5 PEOPLE AND WE THINK TOYOTA SHOULD DO SOMETHING TO ALLOW US TO USE OUR CAR IN A NORMAL WAY. THEY HAVE PROPOSED A LOANER CAR, BUT WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE INSURANCE, AS OUR PERSONAL CAR INSURANCE DOES NOT COVER A LONG TERM RENTAL THAT IS DUE TO A RECALL. AS THERE IS NO END IN SIGHT, THAT COULD BECOME IMPOSSIBLY EXPENSIVE. IT JUST DOESN'T SEEM FAIR TO PUT OUR FAMILY OUT LIKE THIS, WITH NO IDEA WHEN IT WILL END.

MY COMPLAINT IS THAT IT IS TAKING A VERY LONG TIME FOR TOYOTA TO PROVIDE THE PARTS TO REPLACE THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER AIR BAGS IN MY VEHICLE. THE AIR BAG WAS RECALLED IN JUNE; IT'S NOW NEARLY NOVEMBER. NOT ONLY HAVE THEY NOT PROVIDED PARTS, THEY HAVE NOT EVEN GIVEN A TIME FRAME FOR WHEN PARTS MIGHT BE AVAILABLE. WHEN I AM NOT SIMPLY GOING TO WORK ALONE, I NEED TO BE ABLE TO PUT OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS IN THE BACK SEAT AND IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. AT THIS TIME, THE ONLY SOLUTION PROVIDED BY TOYOTA IS, "DON'T ALLOW PASSENGER TO SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT". AND THEY ARE SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE. HOW LONG MUST I WAIT TO BE ABLE TO USE MY CAR THE WAY IT WAS INTENDED WHEN I PURCHASED IT??

AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS STAY ON WHEN DRIVING, REGARDLESS OF WHERE TO DRIVE. HAVING THE VEHICLE CHECKED AT TOYOTA DEALER IN CONCORD, CA.

THIS IS A SCARY SAFETY CONCERN TO ME, COSTLY BUT IT NEED TO BE FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. HOPE TOYOTA WILL COVER OR SHARE THE COST WITH ME, ~$500 AT ESTIMATE.

THE LIGHT FOR THE AIR BAGS READS OFF AND THERE'S A RED LIGHT ON MY DASH STAYS ON INDICATING THE AIR BAGS. THERE IS NO PASSENGER OR ANYTHING HEAVY IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS JUST STARTED THURS. OCT. 22, 2025. NORMALLY WHEN THE LIGHT GOES ON THERE IS NOISE THAT GOES OFF UNTIL I REMOVE THE HEAVY ITEM FROM THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS SCARY. THIS HAPPENED AROUND 5:15 IN THE EVENING AFTER I STARTED MY VEHICLE AFTER IT HAD BEEN PARKED @ 3 HOURS. I NOTICED THE AIR BAGS LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE RED LIGHT ON. I HAD PULLED OUT FROM THE CURB AND I THOUGHT A DOOR WAS OPEN. SO I STOPPED TO CHECK AND IT WAS NOT.
RECIEVED RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA FOR AIR BAG REPLACEMENT ON 8/15/2015. THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO REPLACE AIR BAG AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY WILL GET THEM. I NEED TO BE ABLE TO USE MY PASSENGER SEAT AND I CAN'T. I CAN'T EVEN SELL THE CAR WITH THIS DEFECT.
I AM STILL WAITING TO HAVE MY FRONT AIRBAGS REPLACED BY TOYOTA. THEY ARE A DANGER TO MYSELF AND ANY PASSENGER THAT RIDES WITH ME IN THE FRONT SEAT. MY FRIEND WHO HAS A HONDA HAD HERS REPLACED TWO MONTHS AGO. WHY IS THE NHTSA ALLOWING TOYOTA TO TAKE SO LONG TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WHEN YOU KNOW IT IS LIFE THREATENING AND DANGEROUS ISSUE. PLEASE PUT PRESSURE ON TOYOTA TO FIX MY CAR AND OTHERS' LIKE ME WHO ARE IN THE SAME SITUATION. THANK YOU *TR

RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE SOMETIME IN AUGUST 2015 DUE TO AIRBAG DEFECT; 2ND NOTICE IN SEPT. 2015. I CALLED MY TOTOTA DEALER AND PHONE # ON NOTICE. I WAS TOLD NO ONE SHOULD SIT IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL REPLACED. PARTS ARE UNAVAILABLE. ITS NOW BEEN WELL OVER 2 MONTHS AND STILL UNABLE TO CORRECT PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD I COULD RENT A CAR , $25 PER DAY, BUT WOULD HAVE TO KEEP RENTAL UNTIL CAR REPAIR WAS COMPLETED, AND NO TIME FRAME ON WHEN PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE. IF I DID RENT A CAR, IT WOULD HAVE ALREADY COST ME OVER $700.00. WHAT GOOD IS HAVING A CAR THAT YOU CANNOT USE WHEN YOU WANT TO. I ALREADY CANCELED SMALL VACATION IN SEPTEMBER.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA ABOUT THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG IN MY CAR, AS YOU KNOW. IT HAS NOW BEEN FOUR MONTHS SINCE THE RECALL AND THERE IS NO WORD FROM TOYOTA ABOUT REPLACING THE AIRBAG. THEY HAVE ADVISED ME NOT TO HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT UNTIL THE AIRBAG IS REPLACED. IT'S RIDICULOUS TO GO FOUR MONTHS WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO HAVE A PASSENGER. THEY NEED TO SPEED THIS UP. THEY AREN'T PROVIDING ME WHAT I PURCHASED--WHICH IS A CAR THAT I CAN SAFELY HAVE A PASSENGER IN.

SEPT 3RD AT 9:42 A.M. I CALLED UNIVERSAL TOYOTA'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE MY VEHICLE SERVICED DUE TO A RECALL I HEARD ABOUT ON THE RADIO AND CONFIRMED THROUGH THE RECALL WEBSITE. THE FEMALE WHO ANSWERED STATED THAT THEY COULDN'T SET UP AN APPOINTMENT BECAUSE THEY HAD TO ORDER THE PART BUT THEY WILL CALL ME IN A COUPLE OF DAYS. SEPT 5TH AT 12:26 P.M. I CALLED AGAIN TO CHECK ON THE PROGRESS OF THE ORDER AND THE SAME FEMALE ANSWERED AND STATED THAT IT WILL TAKE A COUPLE OF WEEKS, TOOK MY PHONE NUMBER, AND STATED I WILL BE CONTACTED TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT WHEN THE PART COMES IN. I CALLED TODAY, OCT 16TH AT 1:18 P.M. TO THE MAIN #, WAS ROUTED TO VIOLETA IN THE SERVICE DEPT, WHO STATED SHE HAD NO RECORD OF A SERVICE TICKET OR PART ORDERED FOR MY VEHICLE.
RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN JUNE 2015 STATING THAT THEIR IS A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG INFLATOR MODULE. IT IS NOW OCTOBER 2015 AND HAVE HEARD NOTHING ELSE. IT STATES TO NOT USE MY FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED. THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE WITH ME SINCE I AM A SINGLE MOM WITH FOUR KIDS ONE HAS TO SIT UPFRONT. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN FOUND MUCH SOONER AS SHOULD BE FIXED BY NOW. I AM PUTTING MY KIDS IN RISK EVERY TIME I HAVE TO PUT ONE OF THEM IN THE FRONT SEAT WHEN WE HAVE SOMEWHERE TO GO. I THINK TOYOTA SHOULD BE DOING MORE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND FASTER.
I RECEIVED A NOTICE MONTHS AGO FROM TOYOTA THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATOR MODULE IS DEFECTIVE. THEY STATED THAT A PASSENGER SHOULD NOT RIDE IN THE CAR UNTIL THE DEFECT IS FIXED.

I RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL THAT TOYOTA HAS DECIDED THAT A DEFECT WHICH RELATES TO MY CAR MODEL AND YEAR EXISTS, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NATIONAL TRAFFIC AND MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY ACT. "THE SUBJECT VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATORS WHICH MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED IN SUCH A WAY AS TO HAVE A POTENTIAL FOR THE INTRUSION OF MOISTURE OVER TIME. .... IN THE EVENT OF AN INFLATOR RUPTURE, METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIR BAG CUSHION MATERIAL, STRIKING THE VEHICLES OCCUPANTS POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I SHOULD NOT RIDE WITH ANY PASSENGERS UNTIL THIS MATTER IS ADDRESSED FURTHER" UNFORTUNATELY I LIVE IN ATLANTIC CITY, WHICH HAS ONE OF THE HIGHEST HUMIDITY LEVELS FOR A CITY IN THE UNITED STATES. THIS SCARES ME AS I HAVE A WIFE AND 3 CHILDREN, AND NOT BEING ABLE TO DRIVE MY FAMILY IN THIS CAR IS JUST NOT AN OPTION. I SPOKE TO TOYOTA AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO ACT ON THIS MATTER AND JUST SAY THAT "I AM IN PHASE 1 AND UNTIL THIS MATTER REACHES PHASE 2, NOTHING CAN BE DONE"
RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE SEVERAL WEEKS AGO. WARNED AGAINST LETTING ANYONE IN PASSENGER SEAT! STILL NO REPAIR. I CANNOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH ANYONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT! RIDICULOUS. GET THIS THING FIXED!

THIS IS A FATAL POTENTIAL MANUFACTURING ERROR. IT IS ALSO AN EXTREME INCONVENIENCE, AS I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE HAVING PASSENGERS SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT DUE TO THE ISSUE. I HAVE MADE 2 CALLS TO MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER, AS WELL AS ONE CALL TO THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER. MY TOYOTA DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS, BOTH TIMES, AND THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER REPORTED THAT THEY "DO NOT HAVE A REMEDY FOR THE PROBLEM AS OF YET." I AM APPALLED WITH THE LACK OF ATTENTION THIS RECALL IS RECEIVING. I FEEL TOYOTA HAS FAILED TO REMEDY THE DEFECT WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME. THIS IS MY OFFICIAL COMPLAINT TO THE ADMINISTRATOR, NATIONAL HIGHWAY SAFETY ADMINISTRATION. PLEASE INFORM TOYOTA OF MY DISCONTENT WITH THEIR INABILITY TO MAKE RIGHT A SERIOUS ISSUE IN A TIMELY MANNER.

THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.
THIS COMPLAINT IS IN REFERENCE TO THE TOYOTA RECALL DESCRIBED BELOW (PER HTTP://WWW.TOYOTA.COM/RECALL). THE RECALL DATE WAS JUNE 16, 2015 (TODAY'S DATE IS 08 SEPTEMBER 2015) AND TOYOTA HAS FAILED TO REMEDY THE DEFECT WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME BECAUSE THE REMEDY PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE FOR MY VIN. DESCRIPTION THE SUBJECT VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATORS WHICH MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED IN SUCH A WAY AS TO HAVE A POTENTIAL FOR THE INTRUSION OF MOISTURE OVER TIME. DEPENDING ON THE CIRCUMSTANCES, THIS COULD CREATE EXCESSIVE INTERNAL PRESSURE WHEN THE AIR BAG IS DEPLOYED AND CAUSE THE INFLATOR TO RUPTURE. IN THE EVENT OF AN INFLATOR RUPTURE, METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIR BAG CUSHION MATERIAL, STRIKING AND POTENTIALLY SERIOUSLY INJURING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS IN A CRASH. REMEDY TOYOTA IS CURRENTLY WORKING ON OBTAINING THE REMEDY PARTS FOR SUBSEQUENT PHASES OF THIS SAFETY RECALL. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION WILL BE PROVIDED AS REMEDY PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE. WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE, TOYOTA DEALERS ARE REQUESTED TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG INFLATOR MODULE AT NO CHARGE TO THE VEHICLE OWNER.
WE RECEIVED A NOTICE IN JUNE REGARDING A RECALL OF OUR FAMILY VEHICLE (TOYOTA COROLLA MATRIX 2005) FOR A DEFECT RELATED TO THE AIRBAGS. ACCORDING TO THE STATEMENT, IT HAS TO DO WITH THE AIR BAG INFLATORS AND, DEPENDING ON CIRCUMSTANCE, COULD RUPTURE AND CAUSE METAL FRAGMENTS TO PASS THROUGH THE AIR BAG CUSHIONED MATERIAL RESULTING IN INJURY OR DEATH. WE WERE TOLD THAT UNTIL A REMEDY BECAUSE AVAILABLE IN OUR LOCATION TO HAVE NO ONE RIDE IN THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT. THAT WAS THREE MONTHS AGO. I JUST LOOKED UP THE STATUS AND THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY AVAILABLE IN OUR AREA. THIS IS NOT A MINOR ISSUE. IT'S CAUSED UNDUE STRESS AND INCONVENIENCE THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE SUMMER. WE HAVE A BABY ON THE WAY AND ARE CONCERNED THAT THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY IN PLACE, AND WE FEEL A SOLUTION HAS NOT BEEN PROVIDED IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. WE PLAN ON CALLING TOYOTA DURING NORMAL BUSINESS HOURS TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY WAY WE CAN FIX THE ISSUE OURSELVES AND THEN SUBMIT FOR A REIMBURSEMENT. SIMPLY TELLING CUSTOMERS TO HAVE NO ONE RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND NOT PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION--SUCH AS WHEN WE CAN EXPECT PARTS TO BECOME AVAILABLE--IS POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. PLUS, IF WE HAVE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE OURSELVES, IT WILL CAUSE UNNECESSARY STRAIN ON OUR ALREADY TIGHT BUDGET.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME WHILE DRIVING TO WORK IN 2005 COROLLA. TOOK CAR TO MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE CHARCOAL CANISTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ALSO OCCURRED WITH A 20008 TOYOTA MATRIX (COROLLA COUSIN), THAT HAD ONLY 70,000 MILES ON IT. SEEMS TO ME THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT WITH TOYOTA COROLLAS AND POSSIBLY OTHERS.

A MONTH AGO I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, ALERTING ME THAT IT IS UNSAFE TO TRANSPORT PASSENGERS IN THE CAR AT THIS TIME. THIS IS EXCEPTIONALLY INCONVENIENT, AS I HAVE A CHRONICALLY ILL PARTNER WHO NEEDS TO BE DRIVEN TO DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENTS, ETC. I AM WRITING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT WHAT I BELIEVE IS AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE COMPANY TO SUPPLY THE PART.
I HAVE BEEN CONTACTING THE TOYOTA DEALER SINCE JULY 21, 2015 TO REPLACE THE PASSENGERS AIRBAG. I AM TOLD PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE- YET THEY SEND OUT THESE SCARY LETTERS FOR US TO CALL AND MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO REPLACE THEM OR WE WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONSEQUENCES. I HAVE MADE THREE CALLS TO THE DEALER. MY LAST CALL WAS ON AUGUST 15, 2015. I WAS BASICALLY TOLD- DON'T CALL US. WE WILL CALL YOU WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. A RECALL SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN SENT OUT UNTIL PARTS WERE MADE AVAILABLE.

TOYOTA WILL NOT LET DEALERSHIPS DISABLE THESE DEFECTIVE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS. HONDA RECENTLY WENT THROUGH THE SAME THING AND THEY DID DISABLE THE AIRBAGS UNTIL THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE TO FIX THEM. I GOT A COMPLETE RUN AROUND FROM TOYOTA'S CUSTOMER SERVICE WHEN I CALLED THEM AND WAS TOLD "IT HAD TO GO THROUGH THE STATE." RIDICULOUS. IF IT HAS TO BE COORDINATED THROUGH THE STATE THEN TOYOTA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT. WHY SHOULD I BE DRIVING AROUND IN A CAR THAT CAN HAVE SHRAPNEL FLYING AROUND IN IT? "DON'T LET ANYBODY SIT RIGHT IN FRONT OF IT" IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE SOLUTION. NOT TO MENTION THEY HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG IT WILL BE TIL THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE - AND THIS RECALL WENT OUT IN JUNE BUT I AM ONLY JUST NOW BEING NOTIFIED. SO 2 MOS. PASSENGERS HAVE BEEN SITTING ON THE DEADLY SIDE. THEY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH THIS AS A BUSINESS PRACTICE - TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE TO PUT PEOPLE AT RISK THIS WAY. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.

FIRST THE SEATBELT BUCKLE BROKE OFF ON THE BACK DRIVERS SIDE. NOW THE BACK SEATBELT BUCKLE HAS BROKEN OFF ON THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE. LOOKS LIKE RUST HAS A FACTOR IN THE ISSUE.
RECALL ON THE AIRBAG INFLATOR MODULE AND THE DEALER TELLS US THAT IT'S BEEN OVER 6 WEEKS AND TOYOTA HAS NOT GIVEN THEM A FIX. THE NOTICE WE RECEIVED FROM TOYOTA SAYS NOT TO USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THIS TAKES AWAY A PRIMARY FUNCTION OF THE VEHICLE.

I HAD A MALFUNCTIONING TIMING CHAIN AND ITS PARTS, AND AN ENGINE PROBLEM ON MY TOYOTA COROLLA 2005 WITHOUT PRIOR WARRING, SUCH AS AN ENGINE CHECK LIGHT, RATTLING, KNOCKING, OR STALLING. ALSO I WASNT AWARE THAT THESE PROBLEMS COULD HAPPEN BECAUSE THERE ISNT ANY TIMING CHAIN SYSTEM MAINTENANCE IN THE TOYOTA 2005 SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE GUIDE BOOKLET. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPAIRED MY CAR THOUGHT THAT THE TENSIONER ON THE TIMING CHAIN MAY HAVE HAD A PROBLEM THAT CAUSED THE CAM GEAR TO WEAR OUT, SO THAT THE TIMING CHAIN SLIPPED OFF THE CAM GEAR. THEN, THE PROBLEM CAUSED THE ENGINE VALVES TO BE BENT. FINALLY MY CAR GOT FIXED. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED IN A SHOPPING MALL PARKING LOT WHEN I STARTED THE ENGINE, I FELT BOOM, BOOM, KNOCKING COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR. I DROVE OUT OF THE PARKING LOT CAREFULLY, BUT I WAS CONCERNED BECAUSE IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I EVER HAD THIS KNOCKING FROM THE CAR. SO I STOPPED IN A DIFFERENT PARKING LOT OF THE SAME MALL. I LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD AND CHECKED THE DRIVE BELT, WHICH WAS INTACT. THERE WAS NO FOUL SMELL. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND PAID ATTENTION TO ANYTHING UNUSUAL. I HEARD RATTLING AND I DECIDED TO TAKE MY CAR TO AN AUTO MECHANIC SHOP, WHICH IS CLOSER THAN GOING HOME. WITH MY EMERGENCY LIGHT ON, I DROVE INTO THE STREET LESS MILE WHEN I HEARD SOUNDS LIKE METAL OR SODA CANS CRUSHING AROUND IN THE ENGINE. THEN MY CAR SLOWLY STOPPED AND THE ENGINE STOPPED. I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND SLID DOWN TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, BARELY OFF THE ROAD. EVENTUALLY MY CAR WAS TOWED TO THE AUTO SHOP. I HAVE A WORN OUT CAM GEAR, A TENSIONER WITH A FEW FINE CRACKS, BENT VALVES AND THE TIMING CHAIN. I CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE ON JULY 24, 2015. BUT I WAS TOLD THAT SINCE THE CAR WARRANTY OF 60,000 MILES HAD PASSED AND I DIDNT TAKE MY CAR TO A TOYOTA AUTHORIZED AUTO SHOP THEY WONT DEAL WITH MY CAR PROBLEM.
THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG IS KNOWN TO BE DEFECTIVE AND TO POTENTIALLY CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. TOYOTA'S CURRENT REMEDY IS TO INSTRUCT ME TO "NOT DRIVE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT". IF THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIX MY VEHICLE IN A TIMELY FASHION THEY SHOULD BE PROVIDING ME WITH A SAFE ALTERNATIVE TO DRIVE. THIS LANGUAGE CAN NOT BE USED AS JARGON TO WAIVE THEIR RESPONSIBILITY IN CASE OF INJURY. THEIR EXPLICIT FAILURE TO FIX THIS IN A TIMELY MANNER IS UNACCEPTABLE.
WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, MY BACK TIRE'S SIDEWALL BLEW OUT AND I WAS FORCED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE TIRE WAS IN GOOD CONDITION WITH PLENTY OF TREAD DEPTH LEFT. VEHICLE IS PARKED ON PAVEMENT AND NOT GRASS TO PROMOTE MOISTURE/DRY ROT. AFTER READING ON LINE, MICHELIN HAS RECALLED 100,000 TIRES LAST MONTH. A COWORKER STATED THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THEIR MICHELIN TIRE LAST WEEK. PLEASE INVESTIGATE SMALLER MICHELIN TIRES. THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECTIVE TIRE AND SEEMS TO BE VERY COMMON. LUCKILY IT WAS A BACK TIRE AND I REMAINED IN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.

ON THURSDAY JULY 16 2015, I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL FOR MY 2005 COROLLA. IT STATES THE MALFUNCTION OF THE AIRBAGS AND STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THAT NO ONE OCCUPIES THE PASSENGER SEAT SO THAT IF FOR SOME REASON THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY, IT COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. WHILE LOOKING UP INFORMATION ABOUT THIS RECALL, I FOUND THAT IT ORIGINALLY WAS RECALLED ON MAY 13TH 2015, TWO MONTHS BEFORE I RECEIVED MINE IN THE MAIL. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT TOYOTA WOULD WAIT THAT LONG TO INFORM ITS DRIVERS. ON TOP OF THIS, I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT FIXED, ONLY TO BE TOLD TODAY THAT TOYOTA IS ONLY SENDING THE PARTS TO THE DEALERSHIPS IN SMALL INCREMENTS. MY COMPLAIN ONLY ENTAILS THAT TOYOTA IS NOT TAKING CARE OF THIS PROBLEM IN A TIMELY MANNER. THANK YOU
MY AIR BAG LIGHT AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULD NOT GO OUT. A BALISE TOYOTA TECHNICIAN, WEST SPRINGFIELD, MA, DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAULTY SPIRAL COIL ASSEMBY. BALISE'S ASSISTANT SERVICE MANAGER, KARL SUBKLEW, STATED THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. I CONTACTED/NOTIFIED TOYOTA; TOYOTA HAS RECALLED OTHER TOYOTA MAKES AND MODELS FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE, BUT REFUSED TO APPLY THE RECALL TO MY 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA MATRIX. THEY TOLD ME TO NOTIFY MY ATTORNEY GENERAL. THE COST WAS SIGNIFICANT TO ME TO HAVE THE SPIRAL COIL REPLACED ON 7/18/14. THIS TOYOTA DEFECT IN MATRIX AND PONTIAC VIBE MODELS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND INCLUDED IN THE TOYOTA RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. I ALSO FEEL TOYOTA SHOULD FULLY REIMBURSE ME FOR MY COST TO HAVE THIS FAULTY SAFETY ITEM REPLACED.
I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND ON MY WAY I HEARD THIS "CLICK CLICK" SOUND COMING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE DASHBOARD. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS SO AND DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. ROUGHLY ABOUT THREE OR FOUR MORE DAYS GO BY AND THE ANNOYING CLICKING STARTED AGAIN AND THEN ONE OF THE ICON ON THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP. I OPENED THE GLOVE BOX TO GET OUT THE MANUAL. THE MANUAL HAD SHOWN THAT IT WAS THE AIRBAG LIGHT. I FIGURED SINCE I WAS DUE FOR A OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT WOULD ASK THEM ABOUT THAT LIGHT. ON AUGUST 2, 2013 I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THE OIL CHANGE. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE LIGHTED ICON WAS ABOUT THE AIRBAG AND SAID THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I ASKED "HOW COME I NEED TO REPLACE A AIRBAG THAT I HAVEN'T BEEN USED YET?" THEY SAID THAT SPIRAL CABLE HAD A FAILURE AND THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BEFORE I GOT A INSPECTION STICKER OR ELSE MY CAR WILL FAIL THE INSPECTION. I ASKED THE MAN IF IT WAS PART OF A RECALL BECAUSE IT DIDN'T SOUND RIGHT TO ME THAT A AIRBAG WILL NEED REPLACING EVEN IF IT HASN'T BEEN USED. THEY SAID NO. SO I MADE A APPOINTMENT FOR AUGUST 24, 2013. I PAID $380.00 FOR THE REPAIR OF A SPIRAL CABLE. I WASN'T HAPPY AT ALL. SO NOW JULY 20, 2015 I GET A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT REPLACING THE AIRBAG AND WHICH I PAID $380.00 FOR BACK IN 2013. MY FIRST QUESTION HOW DO OR WHO DO I GET MY REFUND FOR REPLACING A DEFECTED AIRBAG? CAN YOU PLEASE DIRECT ME TO THE PROPER PLACE TO MAKE A CLAIM BECAUSE I THINK THAT IT'S UNFAIR FOR ME TO LOOSE OUT ON $380. I AM VERY UPSET BECAUSE I WORK VERY HARD TO SAVE MONEY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

DEAR ALL, IN MY TOYOTA COROLLA 2005 CAR, CHECK ENGINE SIGN ARE COMING AND GOING. THERE IS SOME ISSUE WITH FUEL PUMP OR GAS TANK. I HAVE ASKED THE SAME TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP BUT THEY HAVE NO ANSWER FOR THE SAME. THEY ARE SAYING FOR CHECKING I HAVE TO PAY 150+ USD. AS THIS IS A MECHANICAL ISSUE, PLEASE HELP ME TO DEAL WITH THE SAME.
WINDOW BOLT ATTACHED TO REGULATOR BROKE AND WINDOW WON'T ROLL UP CORRECTLY AND RATTLES. IT IS THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW. SAME ISSUE THAT WAS IN THE 2003 TOYOTA COROLLA MODEL.
THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED FREQUENTLY SINCE THE FIRST EVENT: FOR NO KNOWN REASON, ENGINE RPMS DROP TO POINT WHERE VEHICLE BARELY MOVING. CAN SHUT VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART AND PROBLEM GOES AWAY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON BUT NO HELP IN DIAGNOSIS. BEEN TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. REPLACED ECM AND TRIED OTHER POSSIBLE "FIXES". SO FAR, HAS ONLY OCCURRED IN RURAL AREAS AT SPEEDS OF 35 MPH OR LESS. FORTUNATELY NOT MUCH TRAFFIC. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL GO OFF BY ITSELF AS PROBLEM "FIXES ITSELF". A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION BUT NO ANSWERS FROM DEALER OR MANUFACTURER.
THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. THE MEDIA SAYS THAT MY MODEL YEAR IS IN THE TAKATA RECALL AND MY MODEL IS IN THE TOYOTA RECALL BUT ONLY IN THE "HIGH HUMIDITY REGION". I CONTACTED A DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL TOYOTA CAUGHT UP ENTERING IN THE VIN NUMBERS FOR THE MODEL YEARS THAT WERE ADDED TO THE RECALL. THIS IS NOT SAFE, THIS IS A MALFUNCTIONING PART AND THIS NEEDS TO BE REMEDIED.

I WAS TRAVELING 70 MPH ON THE FREEWAY WHILE A CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN FRONT OF ME. I SLAMMED ON MY BREAKS AND GOT THE CAR TO SLOW DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH BEFORE HITTING HIS CAR IN THE BACK. MY HEAD HIT THE STEERING WHEEL FROM THE IMPACT OF THE CRASH. THE RADIATOR IS BUSTED, THE BUMPER CAME OFF, MY FRAME WAS BENT, MY HEADLIGHTS ARE OFF, MY CAR DENTED SO FAR BACK THE FRONT DOORS WOULDN'T OPEN, AND MY AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY.

I WAS DRIVING NORTHBOUND IN A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA ON AVALON PARK BLVD. FORD FUSION HEADING SOUTHBOUND ENTERED LEFT TURN LANE AND DID NOT SLOW DOWN. THE DRIVER OF THE OTHER VEHICLE CONTINUED INTO THE INTERSECTION AND COLLIDED WITH MY COROLLA ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. MY HEAD HIT THE INSIDE OF THE WINDOW ON DRIVER'S SIDE UPON IMPACT AND IMMEDIATELY MY BODY JERKED TO THE RIGHT. DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY UPON IMPACT. THE AIRBAG DID FINALLY DEPLOY AS MY BODY JERKED TO THE RIGHT WHICH CAUSED BURNS ON MY LEFT ARM. I AND THE OTHER DRIVER DROVER OUR VEHICLES INTO THE 7-11 PARKING LOT AND I CALLED 9-11. ORANGE COUNTY FIRE & RESCUE HAD TO EXTRACT ME FROM MY COROLLA AND PLACE ME IN AN AMBULANCE. I WAS TAKEN TO FLORIDA HOSPITAL EAST EMERGENCY FOR TREATMENT. OTHER DRIVER WAS CITED FOR FAILING TO YIELD RIGHT AWAY. MY INSURANCE SAYS MY 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA WAS A TOTAL LOSS. TOYOTA HAS BEEN NOTIFIED AND IT IS BEING INVESTIGATED. I AM ALSO OBTAINING A PRODUCT LIABILITY LAWYER SINCE THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY UPON IMPACT. I AM CURRENTLY GOING TO PHYSICAL THERAPY 3 TIMES A WEEK. ALSO DEVELOPED DIZZINESS & HEADACHES 2 DAYS AFTER THE ACCIDENT. CRASH REPORT: 84901767
I DON'T UNDERSTAND REGARDING THE AIRBAG RECALLS. I JUST HEARD THAT TOYOTA HAS RECALLED MORE CARS AND YET I AM BEING TOLD IT STILL IS A REGIONAL RECALL. I HAVE A 2005 COROLLA AND I SEE IT ON LISTS OF RECALLED CARS AND YET BECAUSE I DON'T LIVE IN THE REGION MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED. IF THERE IS A DANGER, WHY DOESN'T NHTSA JUST ORDER THE AUTO MANUFACTURERS TO RECALL EVERYTHING? WHAT'S GOING ON?

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA THAT MY PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I CALLED THE DEALER AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF TO COMPLETE THE WORK. 20 MIN. LATER I WAS TOLD THAT THE WORK WOULD NOT BE DONE BECAUSE I DIDN'T LIVE IN AN AREA THAT NEEDED A NEW AIRBAG. I ASKED WHY I GOT THE LETTER THEN. I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CONTACT TOYOTA AND GIVE ME AN ANSWER WITHIN 24 HOURS. I DID NOT HEAR FROM THEM. THIS LAST WEEK I GOT A CALL FROM TOYOTA TO TELL ME THAT I NEEDED TO TAKE MY CAR IN TO A DEALER AND HAVE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG REPLACED. I TOLD THE PERSON WHAT HAD HAPPENED BEFORE. SHE ASSURED ME THAT THIS TIME THE WORK WOULD BE DONE. SHE CONNECTED ME TO THE DEALER AND I MADE THE APPOINTMENT. I TOOK THE CAR IN. THEY CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THEY NEEDED THE CAR FOR A LONGER TIME DUE TO SOME COMMUNICATION PROBLEMS WITH TOYOTA. I PICKED UP MY CAR AFTER THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAD CLOSED. I CALLED THE NEXT DAY AND ASKED WHY THE WORK HADN'T BEEN DONE. THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PART NEEDED TO DO THE REPLACEMENT. THEY HAVE HAD MY CAR TWICE FOR THE SAME RECALL AND I STILL DON'T HAVE THE PROBLEM TAKEN CARE OF. I FEEL THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE MADE AN APPOINTMENT IF THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART. I FEEL THAT THEY ARE GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND AND HAVE NO INTENTION OF REPLACING THE AIRBAG. *TR

AIRBAG LIGHT ON MAIN INSTRUMENT PANEL COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY, WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING. WHEN THIS LIGHT IS ON, THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT BE DEPLOYED IN AN ACCIDENT. THERE IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. *TR HAVING DONE JUST A QUICK SEARCH OF THE INTERNET, IT APPEARS THAT THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON, YET THERE IS NO RECALL. IT SEEMS MOST OF THE ISSUES CAUSING THIS PROBLEM ARE RELATED TO EITHER THE SPIRAL AIRBAG CABLE OR THE VEHICLE CLOCK.

THE TOYOTA FIX WHICH WAS NOT A FIX AT ALL WAS TO DISABLE MY FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG AND HANG A WARNING SIGN NOT TO HAVE ANYONE RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT.

I HAVE RECEIVED NOTICE FROM TOYOTA THAT MY VEHICLE MAY BE UNSAFE DUE TO THE INSTALLATION OF A DEFECTIVE AIR BAG. 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. I WAS INFORMED TODAY THAT NO DEALERSHIP IN MY AREA (INCLUDING COMPETITOR DEALERSHIPS SUCH AS HONDA) HAVE BEEN SET UP TO DEAL WITH THIS PROCESS UNTIL THE END OF JANUARY TO RECEIVE ANY SERVICE OR TO TAKE ANY OF THE RECOMMENDED STEPS IN THE ADVISORY LETTER. I AM REGISTERING THIS COMPLAINT TO ENSURE THAT IF ANY ACCIDENT OR INJURY OCCURS AS A RESULT OF THE DEFECT BEFORE I CAN RECEIVE THE APPROPRIATE SERVICE, THAT TOYOTA CANNOT CLAIM I DID NOT RESPOND IN A TIMELY OR APPROPRIATE MANNER. I AM DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED BY THIS RESPONSE AND HOPE THAT THE NHTSA WILL TAKE STEPS TO ENSURE THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS DOES NOT OCCUR IN FUTURE. I CONSIDER THE DELAY TO BE UNACCEPTABLE AND ADDING TO THE ANXIETY OF KNOWING THAT THIS RISK MAY OCCUR. *TR
SIR, I BOUGHT A NEW TOYOTA LE YEAR 2005 IN MARYLAND AND SINCE THE BEGINNING I'VE ALWAYS BROUGHT MY CAR FOR MAINTENANCE TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP TO WHICH I WAS VERY PLEASED ABOUT IT. ON MONDAY, NOVEMBER 17TH, 2014 MY SON WAS DRIVING OUR CAR SOUTHBOUND IN LANE 2 OF GEORGIA AVENUE WHEN ANOTHER DRIVER PULLED OUT OF A SECONDARY ROAD OF THE HOME DEPOT PARKING LOT AND WENT DIRECTLY INTO LANE 2 IN FRONT OF OUR CAR. MY SON WAS UNABLE TO AVOID THE OTHER DRIVER AND STRUCK HIS CAR IN THE REAR CAUSING LITTLE DAMAGE FOR THE DRIVERS CAR. THE IMPACT CAUSED A LOT OF DAMAGE IN THE FRONT END OF OUR CAR. MY SON DID NOT SUFFER A FRACTURE OR A SEVERE INJURY BUT HE GOT A CERVICAL SPRAIN, IN ADDITION TO DEVELOPING BACK PAIN, LEFT KNEE PAIN. THE IMPACT WAS SO BAD THAT OUR CAR WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. BUT INTERESTINGLY, THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT ALL! IF THE AIRBAGS WERE DEFECTIVE AS IT HAS BEEN FOR OTHER TOYOTA CARS THEN I MAY HAVE HAD A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FIXED OR REPLACED SO THEY WOULD HAVE WORKED PROPERLY IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT THAT'S WHY WE TRUST IN THE MANUFACTURER AND IN THE WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS IN THE MANUAL. ..UPDATED 12/29/14 *BF *TR
MY 19 YEAR OLD WAS DRIVING BACK TO COLLEGE, THE CAR IN FRONT OF HER STOPPED SHORT TO AVOID ANOTHER CRASH, SHE REARED ENDED THE CAR AT 47 MILES AN HOUR. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. SHE WAS UNCONSCIOUS FOR 20 MINUTES, SUFFERED A CONCUSSION. I CONTACTED TOYOTA THEY SAID THE AIR BAG WAS NOT RECALLED, ASKED TO CONDUCT A DATA ANALYSIS: STATING SHE SWERVED TO THE RIGHT AND THAT THE DTC LIGHT WAS ON AND THAT WE "HAD AMPLE TIME TO HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP TO HAVE THE PROBLEM ADDRESSED" . WE HAD THE CAR INSPECTED A FEW DAYS PRIOR TO THIS ACCIDENT AND THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF ANY LIGHTS ON THE DASH. I BELIEVE TOYOTA IS WRONG IN ACCUSING US ON THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THEY ARE COVERING UP THEIR PROBLEM. MY DAUGHTER IS A COLLEGE ATHLETE AND IS UNABLE TO PARTICIPATE DUE TO THIS ISSUE, SHE IS STILL SUFFERING AND TO HAVE TOYOTA STATE THIS WAS OUR PROBLEM IS WRONG. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR HER BECAUSE WE BELIEVE IT WAS SAFE. YOU DON'T LET YOUR CHILDREN DRIVE A BIKE WITHOUT A HELMET AND YOUR DON'T LET YOUR COLLEGE AGE STUDENTS DRIVE A CAR WITH AIR BAG LIGHTS INDICATING THAT THEY NEED SERVICE. ..UPDATED 12/29/14*BF
DEALER DOESN'T HAVE PART AND WON'T ORDER PART UNLESS I BRING THE CAR IN FIRST AND HAVE AIR BAG DISCONNECTED ON PASSENGER SIDE.

IT WILL COST ME AT LEAST A FULL DAY BY GOING TWICE TO GET PART REPLACED AS DEALER IS AN HOUR AWAY FROM ME. I HOPE IT'S NOT THE CASE BUT IT FEELS AS IF THE MANUFACTURER IS DELIBERATELY MAKING IT MORE DIFFICULT TO HAVE DEFECTIVE PART REPLACED TO PREVENT THEM FROM PAYING MORE CLAIMS? *TR

WASHINGTON, D.C. - THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION URGES OWNERS OF CERTAIN TOYOTA, HONDA, MAZDA, BMW, NISSAN, MITSUBISHI, SUBARU, CHRYSLER, FORD AND GENERAL MOTORS VEHICLES TO ACT IMMEDIATELY ON RECALL NOTICES TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE TAKATA AIRBAGS... THE MESSAGE COMES WITH URGENCY, ESPECIALLY FOR OWNERS OF VEHICLES AFFECTED BY REGIONAL RECALLS IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS: FLORIDA, PUERTO RICO, LIMITED AREAS NEAR THE GULF OF MEXICO IN TEXAS, ALABAMA, MISSISSIPPI, GEORGIA, AND LOUISIANA..., [CASE#:[XXX]] THE CASE # IS THE RECORD OF MY CALL TO AND CONVERSATION WITH THE RECALL DIVISION OF TOYOTA USA. I HAVE REQUESTED OF TOYOTA CORPORATION THAT THEY FURNISH ME WITH THE MANUFACTURER INFORMATION FOR THE AIRBAGS INSTALLED IN MY COROLLA AT MANUFACTURE. THE REASON WHY I REQUESTED THIS INFORMATION SHOULD BE APPARENT FROM YOUR SITE AS WELL AS FROM THE HEARINGS IN CONGRESS AND THE RESPONSE FROM TAKATA. TOYOTA CORPORATION TOLD ME ON THE TELEPHONE THAT THEY COULD NOT GIVE ME THAT INFORMATION. . I FIND IT INTERESTING THAT TOYOTA CAN ISSUE PRODUCT RECALLS BY VIN NUMBERS; BUT CAN NOT FIND MANUFACTURING INFORMATION USING MY VIN NUMBER. IS THERE ANY WAY TO REQUIRE A CAR MANUFACTURER TO SUPPLY PARTS INFORMATION BY MANUFACTURER'S NAME? HAVING WORKED IN A MANUFACTURING ENVIRONMENT, I DO KNOW THAT SUCH INFORMATION IS REQUIRED TO BE KEPT BY US MANUFACTURING. I SUSPECT THAT TOYOTA USA HAS ACCESS TO SUCH INFORMATION. SINCE NHTSA REGULATES HIGHWAY SAFETY AND I THINK CORRECTLY, BELIEVES THAT TANAKA SHOULD RECALL ALL AIRBAGS IN THE AFFECTED YEARS, I AM HOPING THAT YOU CAN HELP ME TO RECEIVE MY AIRBAG INFORMATION SINCE YOU LIST 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA AS AFFECTED IN THE RECALL IN HIGH MOISTURE US STATES AND TERRITORIES. ANY WEATHER CHECK OF THE PAST TWO YEARS FOR N.C. SHOULD DEMONSTRATE THAT WE ARE A HIGH MOISTURE LOCATION. *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I PUT ON THE BRAKES NORMALLY AS I THOUGHT THERE WAS PLENTY OF SPACE TO COME TO A STOP HOWEVER IT FELT LIKE INSTEAD OF SLOWING THE CAR SUPRISINGLY SPED UP AND INSTANTLY I WAS SMELLING GUNPOWDER AFTER A SHARP PAINFUL JARRING SMACK. THE AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED AND WAS A RIPPED UP MESS FROM MY STEERING WHEEL. I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND WAS SO DAZED AND SHOCKED AND MY WRIST HAD SHATTERED REQUIRING REPARATIVE SURGERY AND REHABILITATION HOWEVER IT'S STILL NOT OK. DUE TO MY CONFUSION I DENIED MEDICAL TREATMENT UNTIL A FEW DAYS LATER. THIS CONFUSION STILL AFFECTS ME BADLY NOW AS I SUFFER FROM SEVERE PTSD. THE POLICE TOOK PICTURES AND A REPORT. THE PEOPLE IN THE CAR I HIT WERE TAKEN BY AMBULANCE. & RECOMMENDED I BE TAKEN AS WELL BUT I REFUSED. THE CAR HAD BEEN TOTALED WITH SEVERE BODY DAMAGE TO THE FRONT AND A BENT FRAME THAT IT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE FROM THE SCENE. I WAS TERRIFIED THAT SOMEBODY EITHER TAMPERED WITH MY CAR AND BRAKES OR EITHER I WAS CLINICALLY INSANE TO MAKE IT ILLOGICALLY SPEED UP & IT WASN'T UNTIL I LEARNED OF THE RECALLS ONLY A FEW DAYS AGO THAT I REALIZED MAYBE THE ACCIDENT WASN'T ALL MY FAULT & I SHOULD REPORT IT HERE. TOYOTA CORPORATION HAS DONE NOTHING TO SEND ME NOTIFICATIONS OF ANY RECALLS OR PROBLEMS EVER. *TR
MY CAR ONLY HAS 54000 MILES AND SINCE LAST 2-3 WEEKS, ITS STEERING WHEEL HAS BECOME SO STIFF. WE DID THE POWER STEERING FLUSH AT 33,000 MILES (AS RECOMMENDED IN THE OWNER MANUAL) AND IT WAS WORKING FINE UNTIL THIS MONTH. BASED UPON THE ONLINE RESEARCH, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2005 COROLLAS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A HARDWARE PROBLEM AND TOYOTA SHOULD FIX THIS UNDER WARRANTY. *TR
OCTOBER 2013, MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING HER 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA IN SOUTHERN CA, WHEN SMOKE STARTED TO FILL THE CAR. THE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE MASTER WINDOW SWITCH. THE SMOKE LASTED A FEW MINUTES, AND A BURNING SMELL OF PLASTIC ALSO FILLED THE CAR. THE CAR WAS STILL ABLE TO DRIVE, BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I TOOK A LOOK AT THE SWITCH, NONE OF THE SWITCHES AT THE MASTER CONTROL WERE WORKING AND ALL FELT COMPLETELY LOOSE. I PULLED THE SWITCH PANEL AWAY FROM THE DOOR AND COULD SEE HOW THE PLASTIC WAS COMPLETELY MELTED AND HAD BURNED HOLES THROUGH THE SWITCH. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND ALL THEY COULD SAY WAS THAT THERE WAS NOT A RECALL ON THIS VIN# AND THEY WOULD NOT TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT THEY WERE AWARE OF PROBLEMS ON OTHER VIN #'S IN THE SAME MODEL. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A FIRE HAZARD WITH THIS CAR AND TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT IT. WHAT DOES IT TAKE FOR A LARGE COMPANY TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF A KNOWN PROBLEM? I RECENTLY CALLED THEM AGAIN TO SEE IF THEY HAVE ISSUED A RECALL AND STILL HAVE NOT. NOW I AM EVEN MORE UPSET! *TR
SRS WARNING LIGHT BEGAN TO GO ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. TOYOTA DEALER FIXES BY INSTALLING NEW CLOCK ASSEMBLY. TOTAL COST $465. THIS ASSEMBLY IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE AIRBAG SYSTEM AND IS FAILING AT A VERY HIGH RATE IN THESE CARS. I BELIEVE IT IS DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE PART OF A RECALL. SUPPOSEDLY IF THE LIGHT IS ON THE AIRBAG IS NOT FUNCTIONAL. *JS
IN SEPTEMBER 2013 I HAD MY CAR INSPECTED BY MY MECHANIC AND IT PASSED INSPECTION. THEN IN DECEMBER 2013 I NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE. MY MECHANIC SUGGESTED I WINTERIZE IT, SO I DID. HE DID THE FOLLOWING: CHANGED OIL AND FILTER, LUBE CHASIS, FLUSH RADIATOR, ADDED NEW ANTIFREEZE, ROTATED TIRES, CHECKED BRAKES, DAX COOL; CABIN FILTER: REMOVED OLD CABIN FILTER, CLEANED OUT AIR BOX AND INSTALLED NEW FILTER; FUEL INJECTOR CLEAN: CLEANED AND FLUSHED INJECTOR SYSTEM; BELT - REMOVED AND REPLACED LISTED BELTS, ADJUSTED TENSION; BATTERY - CHECKED CHARGING AND STARING SYSTEM, INSTALLED NEW BATTERY AND CLEANED CABLE ENDS. I DONT KNOW IF IT WAS BECAUSE OF WHAT WAS DONE ABOVE BUT PERIODICALLY MY CAR WOULD NOT STOP IMMEDIATELY AT A RED LIGHT IT SKIDDED A LITTLE. THEN EVENTUALLY MY CAR WOULD SPEED UP ON ITS OWN SO I WOULD HAVE TO BRAKE AND THEN DRIVE AT A REALLY LOW SPEED. THEN ON APRIL 2, 2014 I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO MY MECHANIC AND HE CHECKED 4 WHEEL BRAKE AND HYDRAULIC SYSTEM, CLEANED AND ADJUSTED BRAKES, TOPED OFF FLUID. EVERY TIME I DID BRING MY CAR INTO THE MECHANIC THEY WOULD ROAD TEST IT AND TELL ME THE CAR IS NOW DRIVABLE. HOWEVER, WHEN I WOULD DRIVE THE CAR IT FELT AS IF I HAD TO NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR. SATURDAY, APRIL 5, 2014 I TOOK IT OVER TO TOYOTA AND THEY DID A GENERAL INSPECTION, THEY TOLD ME THE BATTERY IS FINE, THEY ALSO DID AN OIL CHANGE, AFIX STICKER AND RESET MAINTENANCE REMINDER. THEY TEST DROVE AS WELL AND TOLD ME EVERYTHING IS FINE. HOWEVER, AS I DROVE THIS PAST MONTH I FELT AS IF I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR. MY FOOT WAS NOT REALLY ON THE GAS PEDAL. BEFORE THE WINTERIZED I WOULD DRIVE ALL OVER TOWN AND WOULD PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS AT THE LEVEL I WANTED IT TO GO. NOW I DO NOT PUT ANY REAL PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR SEEMS TO GO ON ITS OWN. *JS
I TURNED ON MY CAR AND IT BEGAN TO ACCELERATE ITSELF, THE INDICATOR STOPPED AND HELD ON 4,000 RPM. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED IN CONJUNCTION TO HARSH SHIFTING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. A TROUBLE CODE DETECTED A MALFUNCTION WITH THE CLUTCH SOLENOID. THERE WAS A RECALL RELATED TO THE FAILURE UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V384000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.
HAD JUST PICKED UP CAR FROM LYNCH TOYOTA AND $1,000 WORTH OF REPAIRS INCLUDING 02 SENSOR B/C CHECK ENGINE & TPMS LIGHTS WERE ON. WHILE DRIVING 65 M.P.H. ON HIGHWAY VEHICLE BEGAN ACCELERATING ON ITS' OWN UP TO 80 M.P.H. I DEPRESSED BRAKE AND SLOWED SPEED BUT UPON REMOVING FOOT FROM BRAKE CAR BEGAN ACCELERATING TO 80 M.P.H. A SECOND TIME, SO I MADE SURE MY FOOT WAS NOT ON GAS PEDAL AND DEPRESSED BRAKE AGAIN WHICH SLOWED SPEED BUT CAR ACCELERATED A THIRD TIME TO 80 M.P.H. AND MY FOOT WAS NOT ON GAS PEDAL BUT WHEN I TRIED TO DEPRESS BRAKE IT RESISTED AND WOULD NOT ENGAGE NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESSED, SO I JAMMED DOWN ON GAS PEDAL A FEW TIMES AND IT "REVVED" AS IF IN PARK- DOING THIS SEEMED TO KICK THE CAR OUT OF PHANTOM DRIVING MODE AND ALLOWED ME TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE AND DRIVE STRAIGHT BACK TO LYNCH TOYOTA. TOYOTA HAD MY CAR FOR OVER A DAY AND SAID THEY SENT THE TEST RESULTS TO CA BUT "COULD NOT CONFIRM CONDITION" AND IT WAS "OPERATING ACCORDING TO DESIGN"- THAT POSSIBLE CAUSE WAS AFTERMARKET FLOOR MAT OR "PEDAL MIS-APPLICATION" BUT THE FLOOR MAT DOESN'T REACH THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THIS OCCURRED THREE (3) TIMES OVER A SHORT TIME SPAN AND I DELIBERATELY LIFTED MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL SO IT COULDN'T BE MIS-APPLICATION. THERE ARE MANY REPORTED ISSUES WITH THE 2005 MATRIX AND OTHER YEARS, TOO AS WELL AS OTHER TOYOTA MODELS BUT EACH INCIDENT ENDS WITH TOYOTA FAILING TO CONFIRM ANY ISSUES BUT CLEARLY, THERE ARE ACCELERATION, PEDAL OR ELECTRONIC PROBLEMS. *TR
IN JANUARY OF 2013 AND AGAIN IN DECEMBER OF 2013, MY "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN SAN LUIS OBISPO AND THEY SAID THAT THE O2 SENSOR WAS MALFUNCTIONING, CAUSING THE ENGINE TO RUN TOO LEAN. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED (JANUARY, 2013) THE SERVICE WRITER GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE TO REPLACE THE "PLENUM GASKET AND O2 SENSOR" BUT SAID THERE WAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT IF I ELECTED NOT TO HAVE THIS REPAIR DONE. WHEN THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN IN DECEMBER, 2013, I BECAME ALARMED AND TOOK MY 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA TO AN AUTHORIZED TOYOTA REPAIR SHOP (NOT THE SAN LUIS OBISPO DEALERSHIP) AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS HIGH PROBABILITY THAT THE VALVES WOULD BURN OUT IF I DID NOT REPLACE THE O2 SENSOR (BANK ONE, SENSOR ONE) AND PLENUM GASKET. I FELT THIS WAS URGENT AND TOOK IT TO THE SAN LUIS OBISPO TOYOTA DEALER FOR THE REPAIR, COSTING ME OVER $400. NOTE THAT I FOUND A TOYOTA TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ("M.I.L "ON" DTC PO171 OR P2195", MODELS '05-'06 COROLLA AND MATRIX) DATED NOVEMBER 16, 2005 (WE BOUGHT THE CAR IN MARCH OR APRIL, 2005) WHICH STATED "UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS, SOME 2005 AND 2006 MODEL YEAR COROLLA AND MATRIX VEHICLES MAY EXHIBIT A MIL "ON" CONDITION WITH AT LEAST ONE OF THE FOLLOWING DTC'S: PO171 (SYSTEM TOO LEAN, BANK 1"). FURTHER, IT STATED "THE AIR FUEL (A/F) SENSOR MANUFACTURING PROCESS HAS BEEN IMPROVED TO CORRECT THIS CONDITION". NOTE THAT I NEVER RECEIVED CORRESPONDENCE OR A NOTICE FROM TOYOTA ABOUT THIS CONDITION. ON 1-2-14 I EMAILED TOYOTA (REF: 140102-000196) TO ASK ABOUT THIS AND TO ASK THEIR CONSIDERATION TO COVER SOME OF THE COST OF THE REPAIR, AND I RECEIVED AN EMAIL BACK FROM A "RENEE T.", TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE STATING "A TSB (TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN) IS NOT A RECALL OR A SPECIAL SERVICE CAMPAIGN" AND THAT TOYOTA AND BASICALLY BRUSHED MY CONCERN ASIDE. *TR
SRS AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS GOING ON AND OFF, SO IS THE CLOCK. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES AND I FIND THAT OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE SEEMS TO BE A CONNECTION BETWEEN THE CLOCK AND THE AIRBAG SYSTEM BEING TIED TOGETHER. *TR
ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT STARTED TO COME ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. I CHECKED WITH THE DEALER AND WAS OFFERED TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. I DECIDED TO DO RESEARCH FIRST AND FOUND A WHOLE LOT OF OTHER OWNERS HAVE THIS ISSUE. SOME HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR SERVICES INCLUDING COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF THE AIRBAG SYSTEM AND CLOCK (WHICH HAPPENS TO HAVE FAULTY CIRCUIT THAT CAN RESULT IN THE WARNING LIGHT COMING ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY.) SOME HAVE PAID OVER $1K IN SERVICE FEES. I CONTACTED TOYOTA ABOUT IT. THEY ARE NOT LOOKING TO OWN UP TO THIS QUALITY DEFECT. IT'S NOT A WEAR AND TEAR (VEHICLE AGE) ISSUE. THE CULPRIT APPEARS TO BE A COMPONENT THAT CRACKS OFF THE PCB ON THE CLOCK. SOMEONE HAS REPORTED HAVING RE-SOLDERED THIS COMPONENT TO ELIMINATE THE INTERMITTENT AIRBAG LIGHT ISSUE. WHEN WILL TOYOTA RECALL? *TR
WHILE COMMUTING ONE SUMMER MORNING, MY VEHICLES A/C WENT FROM BLOWING COLD TO HOT AIR INSTANTANEOUS. I THEN WENT WITHOUT A/C FOR A PERIOD OF TWO WEEKS, LUCKILY I WAS ON TDY AND DID NOT HAVE MY YOUNG CHILDREN. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID A ROCK PUNCTURED THE A/C CONDENSER. TOYOTA HAS ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN(AC002-06), INDICATING THAT THE A/C CONDENSER IS NOT PROPERLY PROTECTED. *TR
THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WAS SCANNED BY A LOCAL SHOP WAS ADVISED OF THE CODE P0741 WAS TOLD MY TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPAIRED AT THE COST OF 2495.00 I HAVE NOT HAD THE MONEY TO FIX THE CAR WAS TOLD BY A FRIEND WHO WORKS FOR A SHOP THERE WAS A TSB FOR THIS CODE FOR MY CAR CALLED TOYOTA AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO SINCE THE WARRANTY IS UP ON MY CAR. I ASKED WHY THIS WAS NOT ADDRESSED WHEN MY CAR WAS TAKEN FOR THE ECM RECALL AND THE LADY FROM TOYOTA NAMED [XXX] BECAME VERY RUDE AND TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO AND THERE IS NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT PROGRAM AVAILABLE FOR YOUR VEHICLE AND ASKED IF THERE IS ANYTHING ELSE SHE COULD HELP ME WITH. THE CAR STILL HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
OVER A 8 MONTH PERIOD STARTED EXPERIENCING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA (BOUGHT BRAND NEW IN 2005) IN JULY OF THIS YEAR, WAS FINALLY ABLE TO FUND THE NECESSARY REPAIRS. TORQUE CONVERTER HAD TO BE REPLACED(TRANSMISSION REBUILT) THIS ISSUE AFFECTED THE DRIVABILITY AND SAFETY OF THE CAR ON THE ROAD AND IT HAD BECOME INCUMBENT TO GET NECESSARY REPAIRS DONE. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SRS WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE WIRING FOR THE AIR BAG HAD FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,000.
MY AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED WORKING. I READ UP ON THIS MATTER AND FOUND OUT THAT CONDENSER IS A PROBLEM WITH THE 2005-2006 COROLLA AND THEY SUGGESTED FILING A COMPLAINT WITH THIS WEBSITE SO THAT YOU WOULD BE AWARE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. THANKS! *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SOLENOIDS VALVE HAD MALFUNCTION DUE TO THE SHAVINGS FROM THE TRANSMISSION. AS A RESULT, THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

AFTER HAVING MY BATTERY CHANGED 1 MONTH PRIOR, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CAME ON. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING AND ALL THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS STOPPED WORKING. (IE: RADIO, POWER WINDOWS, ALL LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD.) PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT I HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH STARTING THE CAR. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE AND I NOTICED THAT ALL THE INDICATOR LIGHTS WERE NOT COMING ON WHEN STARTING THE CAR. I WOULD HAVE TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION AND RESTART THE CAR TWO OR THREE TIMES. WHEN I BOUGHT IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID THEIR WAS A BROKEN WIRE IN RELAY BOX WHICH CAUSED THE BLOCK ASSEMBLY ? TO SHORT OUT. IT COST 1100.00 TO FIX AND IT IS ONLY GUARANTEED FOR 1 YEAR. THE CAR HAS ONLY 52,000 MILES ON IT. THIS PROBLEM SOUNDS LIKE THE PROBLEM WITH THE ECM RECALL BUT IT WAS CHANGED IN 2011. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN TOYOTA. SEEMS THAT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ARE VERY PREVALENT IN TOYOTA VEHICLES. *TR
I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND MY CAR STALLED. I WAS ABLE TO STEER IT TO A WORKSHOP NEARBY BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE BATTERY WAS OLD & HAD IT REPLACED. STILL IT WONT START. THE NEXT DAY I TOWED IT TO TEL FORD SERVICE (PRIVATE SERVICE CENTER). THEY INSPECTED AND HAD THE ECM REPLACED WITH GENUINE TOYOTA PART. NOW CAR IS RUNNING FINE. THIS CAR HAD A RECALL & ECM WAS REPLACED IN 2010 AT PAGE TOYOTA. NOW IT HAS ECM REPLACED AGAIN. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF TOYOTA CAN REIMBURSE ME THE REPLACEMENT/REPAIR COST? *TR
OUR DRIVER SIDE SRS AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN INTERMITTENTLY ON FOR OVER A YEAR. SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T GO OUT WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED AND STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING; OTHER TIMES IT GOES OUT LIKE NORMAL A FEW SECONDS AFTER THE CAR IS STARTED, BUT SPONTANEOUSLY COMES ON AND STAYS ON LATER WHILE DRIVING. ONCE IT'S ON, I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE IGNITION OFF, WAIT A FEW SECONDS, AND THEN RESTART THE CAR TO GET IT TO TURN OFF. THIS IS NOT ALWAYS SUCCESSFUL. THE TOYOTA DEALER WAS NO HELP AT ALL - COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, AND SAID THAT I'D NEED TO BRING THE CAR BACK WHEN THE LIGHT WAS ACTUALLY ON. SINCE THE PROBLEM IS INCONSISTENT, I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT. I'M VERY AFRAID THAT SOMEONE IN MY FAMILY MAY BE INJURED SHOULD WE GET IN A COLLISION, BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND THAT IF THE LIGHT IS ON, THE AIRBAG IS INOPERABLE. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LAMP ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR A THIRD TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V384000 (ENGINE AND COOLING). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 130,000. *TR
I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT LESS THAN 5MPH WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. INSTEAD OF STOPPING, THE CAR ACCELERATED SUDDENLY, AND RAN INTO THE WALL 3 FEET IN FRONT OF THE PARKING SPACE. THE CAR WAS TOWED BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND DETERMINED TO BE TOTALED. THE MANUFACTURER INSPECTED THE CAR BUT DID NOT COME UP WITH A DIAGNOSIS. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY DID NOT BELIEVE IT WAS A DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING DEFECT. *TR
MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING SOUTH AT 60MPH. SECOND CAR, GOING NORTH, ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ON TO SIDE ROAD DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME. BARELY HAD TIME TO APPLY BRAKES BEFORE IMPACT WITH HIS RIGHT REAR. MY DAUGHTER'S CAR HAD EXTENSIVE FRONT END DAMAGE. POLICE WERE CALLED. OTHER DRIVER CITED. INSURANCE COMPANY SAID CAR TOTALED. NOT A SINGLE AIR BAG INFLATED, IN SPITE OF FRONT END IMPACT. I REPORTED ALL OF THIS TO TOYOTA AND SENT THEM PICTURES OF THE CAR BUT THEY SEEMED UNINTERESTED. *TR
. . TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN. A RELATIVE OF MINE RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER ON MY BEHALF FROM TOYOTA FOR MY VEHICLE. MY RELATIVE SAID HE SENT IT TO ME BY MAIL. I CONTACTED TOYOTA REALLY CONCERNED BECAUSE OUT OF NOWHERE MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON, MY CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING AND HORN. I HAVE HAD A RECALL BEFORE WHICH WAS SERVICED IN AUGUST OF 2011. I DECIDED TO CONTACT TOYOTA ABOUT THE LETTER AND IF IT WAS OKAY TO TAKE IN CAR WITHOUT LETTER. THEY RAN MY VIN# AND STATED THAT THE RECALL FOR MY CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED. I ASKED WHY I RECEIVED A LETTER OF RECALL AND WHY OUT OF NOWHERE MY CAR IS STARTING TO HAVE SOME MALFUNCTIONS THAT CAN BE A RISK TO MY LIFE. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE. THE REP AT TOYOTA SAID TO GO IN TO SERVICE CENTER-BUT I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. I NEED HELP AND WOULD LIKE THIS RESOLVED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND MY VEHICLE. *TR
WE WERE EAST-BOUND ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET WHEN A WEST-BOUND VEHICLE MADE A LEFT TURN IMMEDIATELY IN FRONT OF US, ACROSS OUR LANE. I BRAKE, BUT COLLIDED WITH THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE OTHER DRIVER WAS UNHURT AND HIS VEHICLE WAS STILL DRIVABLE. OUR AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. MY WIFE, WHO IS 63 INCHES, 110 LBS, HAD HER RIBS CRACKED BY THE FORCE OF THE AIRBAG HITTING HER IN THE CHEST. HER SEAT WAS LOCKED IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION AT MAXIMUM DISTANCE FROM THE AIRBAG; HER SEATBELT WAS ON AND PROPERLY WORN. SHE WAS NOT HOLDING ANYTHING IN HER HANDS OR ON HER LAP. THE SPEED OF THE IMPACT WAS LOW ENOUGH THAT NEITHER OF US EVEN SUFFERED SERIOUS BRUISING FROM THE SEATBELTS. THE AIRBAG WAS THE SOLE SOURCE OF HER PHYSICAL INJURIES RESULTING FROM THE ACCIDENT. *TR
MY HUSBAND BOUGHT MY 2005 COROLLA AS A WEDDING GIFT. IT WAS SLIGHTLY USED BUT BOUGHT FROM ONE OF THE BEST TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS IN OUR TOWN. IT HAD APPROX. 18000 MILES WHEN I GOT T IN FEB OF 2007. IT WAS VERY BASIC AND A STANDARD. THE SHIFTING/CLUTCH NEVER SEEMED RIGHT FROM THE START BUT I LEARNED HOW TO DEAL WITH IT. IN FEB OF 2010, I WAS LEAVING WORK AND WAS A FEW MILES FROM HOME. I HAD NEVER IN MY MANY YEARS OF DRIVING HAD A WRECK. THE TRUCK AHEAD OF ME CAME TO AN ABRUPT STOP AND AS I TRIED TO BRAKE,MY CAR SEEMED TO SPEED UP AND WENT RIGHT UP UNDER THE TRUCK. THE WHOLE FRONT END SMASHED RIGHT UP TO THE WINDSHIELD YET THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. INSURANCE DEEMED IT A TOTAL LOSS BUT IT WAS RIGHT AT THE POINT WHERE I STILL OWED AS MUCH AS THE PAY OFF SO THEY WENT AHEAD AND FIXED IT. I WAS OUT A LOT OF MONEY. THE SECOND WRECK JUST OCCURRED ON MARCH 15,2013. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM A FAMILY MEMBERS RESIDENCE IN THE COUNTRY AND WAS TRAVELING ON DESERTED ROADS AT ABOUT 3:30 AM. I WENT AROUND AN S CURVE THAT I GREW UP DRIVING SO IT I WAS VERY FAMILIAR. I TRIED TO SLOW DOWN,BUT AGAIN SEEMED TO ACCELERATE. I OVER CORRECTED AND RAN THRU A DITCH AND COMPLETELY THREW A METAL FENCE. AGAIN. THE AIRBAG,WHICH ALWAYS HAD THE LIGHT ON AS IF READY TO DEPLOY,DID NOT GO OFF. I WAS HURT VERY BADLY AND APPARENTLY BLACKED OUT FOR A GOOD WHILE. THIS TIME THE INSURANCE DEEMED IT A TOTAL LOSS AND WE ARE WAITING ON A SETTLEMENT FROM OUR INSURANCE PLUS I HURT MY KNEE AND AM MEETING WITH A SURGEON NEXT WEEK. THAT CAR WAS NOTHING BUT TROUBLE AND I AM HAPPY TO B RID OF IT BUT FEEL WE ALL DESERVE JUSTICE FOR ALL THE MANY ERRORS TOYOTA HAS GIVEN THIS VEHICLE. *TR
SERPENTINE BELT ON CAR HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES CAR HAS ONLY 40,750 MILES ON IT FIRST REPLACED BELT AT 30,000 MILES. HAVE BEEN TOLD BY SEVERAL MECHANICS THAT THERE IS DEFECT WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL CAR THAT THE BELT WILL SQUEAL AND THEN STOPS AFTER BEING DRIVEN FOR A FEW BLOCKS. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT IN THIS SERPENTINE BELT MECHANISM. *TR
I PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, STARTED THE CAR AND TURN THE HEATER. A COUPLE OF SECOND WENT BY I STARTED SMELLING SOMETHING BURNING. THAT MADE ME TURN OFF THE CAR AND GET OUT OF THE CAR. WHEN I GOT OUT THE CAR I DIDN'T NOTICE ANY SMOKE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. A THOUGHT CAME TO MIND THAT MAYBE IT WAS ANOTHER CAR PASSING BY. SO AS I JUST GOT IN MY CAR, WITHIN 15 SECONDS OF DRIVING OUT OF THE PARKING GARAGE I NOTICED SMOKE COMING OUT THE POWER WINDOW SWITCH AND WITHIN THE WINDOW CRACKS. I WAS SO STARTLED AND DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I PUT THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW DOWN, STOPPED THE CAR AND CALL 911. THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE TRAFFIC AND BECAUSE I THOUGHT MY CAR WAS ON FIRE. THE FIRE DEPT. CHECKED MY CAR, THEY SMELLED THE ODOR AND TOLD ME JUST TO TAKE IT TO THE SHOP. WHEN I GOT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP THEY INFORMED ME THERE WASN'T A RECALL. SO I DECIDED TO RESEARCH IT AND I FOUND A ARTICLE STATING THAT THE POWER-WINDOW SWITCH ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DIDN'T HAVE GREASE APPLIED EVENLY DURING PRODUCTION, CAUSING FRICTION IN THE SWITCH AND SOMETIMES SMOKE, ACCORDING TO TOYOTA. HTTP://WWW.CBSNEWS.COM/8301-505145_162-57529367/MASSIVE-TOYOTA-RECALL-DUE-TO-FAULTY-WINDOW-SWITCH/ WHICH STATED RECALLS DUE TO THE SIMILAR PROBLEM I ENCOUNTERED. I SHOWED IT TO THE TOYOTA SERVICEMAN AND HE CAME TO ABOUT 30 MINUTES LATER AND STATED THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. ON FEBRUARY 19TH, 2013 I CONTACTED TOYOTA CORPORATE OFFICE AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY COROLLA VIN NUMBER WASN'T CHOSEN FOR THE RECALL. EVERY OWNER THAT OWNS A TOYOTA LISTED SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN A LETTER INFORMING THEM ABOUT THE RECALL NO MATTER WHAT VIN NUMBER WAS CHOSEN! *TR
RECENTLY MY AIR BAG LIGHT STARTED COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY. AFTER SEARCHING TOYOTA/MATRIX FORUMS, I HAVE FOUND THE 2003-2008 TOYOTA MATRIX HAS HAD NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. IT IS COMMON FOR THE CLOCK TO STOP WORKING, WHICH CASES THE AIR BAGS TO STOP FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THIS ALSO SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2003-2008 COROLLA. I DON'T MIND THAT MY CLOCK DOESN'T WORK; HOWEVER, IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF IT IS THE CAUSE OF THE AIR BAG MALFUNCTION AND TOYOTA SHOULD RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. *TR

TOYOTA ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE (#AC002-06) BULLETIN REGARDING THE CONDENSER NOT BEING PROPERLY PROTECTED FOR THE 05 AND 06 COROLLA MODELS. THEY SAID THAT YOU COULD TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WOULD INSTALL NETTING AROUND THE CONDENSER- BUT IF IT IS ALREADY BROKEN- THEN YOU ARE OUT OF LUCK. MINE HAS BEEN BROKEN FOR TWO YEARS-NOW I AM NOW SPENDING OVER $500 TO REPLACE THE CONDENSER AND MY CO-WORKER DRIVES AN 06 MODEL AND HERS HAS BEEN BROKEN FOR A YEAR. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR PEOPLE DRIVING IN EXTREME HEAT. WE ARE TAKING A FAMILY TRIP TO NV THIS WEEKEND, SO I HAD TO BITE THE BULLET AND GET MINE FIXED, BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS. HOW CAN THEY ADMIT A DESIGN FLAW AND THEN NOT FIX IT:( ALSO- MY CAR LOST 4 HUBCAPS WITHIN 2 WEEKS FROM PURCHASING IT AND I HAVE NOTICED SEVERAL OTHERS AROUND TOWN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WHILE I GOT SOME CHEAP ONES TO REPLACE THE ONES I LOST- HAVING YOUR HUBCAPS FLY OFF IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE AND CONCERN. *TR

IN APRIL 2012 I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE; THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. APPARENTLY THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE ECM OF THE CAR. IT WAS REPLACED AND SEEMED FINE. IN JULY I HEARD A GRINDING SOUND ON MY CAR. I BROUGHT IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY FIXED THE ISSUE. IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL LINE. THEY DID A FLUSH ON ALL FLUIDS AND OTHER WORK. THE CAR WORKS GREAT. A WEEK LATER THE VEHICLE IS "CHOKING AND JERKING" WHEN I HIT THE GAS. SOUNDS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION. DEALERSHIP STATES IT IS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE. THEY LOOK IT OVER AND NOW I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I'VE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR BEFORE. I WAS NOT PROVIDED INFORMATION WHEN THE CAR WAS THERE ORIGINALLY ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION; I WAS DRIVING WITH A BAD TRANSMISSION. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON 55 SOUTH FREEWAY EXIT FROM 91 WEST TO MY WORK, MY CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED RESPONDING. IT STARTED JERKING AND SUDDENLY STOPPED THE ENGINE. LUCKILY TRAFFIC WASN'T THAT FAST OTHERWISE IT COULD HAVE CREATED A BIG PILE UP BEHIND ME. I PULLED OVER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER AND STOPPED. I TRIED ABOUT 3-4 TIMES TO START, BUT IT DID NOT CRANK AT ALL. SO I CALLED THE TOW TRUCK AND TOWED TO NEARBY FIRESTONE IN ORANGE, CA. THEY FIRST SUSPECTED MAY BE THE BAD BATTERY, AND CHECKED AND REPLACE THE BATTERY BUT STILL DIDN'T START. SO THEY DID COMPLETE DIAGNOSIS AND FOUND THAT FUEL WASN'T REACHING TO THE ENGINE DUE TO FUEL PUMP FAILURE. THEY RECOMMENDED TO CHANGED THE WHOLE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY AND CHARGED ME ABOUT $1100. THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE HAS BEEN KNOWN ISSUES ON 05 TOYOTA COROLLA FOR FUEL PUMP FAILURE AND THEY KNEW IN 2005 AND ISSUED NOTICE TOO. I HAVE BOUGHT THIS BRAND NEW IN '04 AUGUST FROM TOYOTA IN CLAREMONT, CA. AT LEAST THEY SHOULD HAVE NOTIFIED US VIA EMAIL OR POSTAL MAIL SINCE THEY KNEW ABOUT IT, THAN I COULD HAVE GONE TO DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THEM CHECKED FOR IT. NOW, I AM STUCK WITH THE $1100 BILL. THAT IS RIDICULOUS HOW CARELESS TOYOTA IS. NO WONDER, THEY HAD SO MANY RECALLS LAST YEAR 2011. I JUST WANT THE TOYOTA TO KNOW ABOUT IT AND SEND ME THE MONEY I PAID TO FIRESTONE. I HAVE GOOGLED ONLINE, AND FOUND SO MANY BLOGGER WHO HAD ISSUE WITH THE FUEL PUMP. SO IT HAS BEEN STILL GOING ON AND TOYOTA IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THEY SHOULD FIX THE ISSUE RIGHT AWAY, IT'S A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. WHY THEY WAIT UNTIL PEOPLE DIE???? *TR
AC STOPPED WORKING IN PEAK SUMMER HEAT. AFTER RESEARCHING, REALIZED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN TOYOTAS MADE BEFORE 2006. TOYOTA HAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN AC002-06 WHICH IMPLIES THAT THE A/C CONDENSER IS NOT PROTECTED. THE COST TO REPLACE IS $600 AND WILL GO OUT AROUND 50K. IF YOU LOOK AT THE A/C CONDENSER ON THESE CARS VS. 2007-2009 TOYOTA HAS ADDED A PLASTIC COVER TO COVER THE HOLE LEFT IN 2005-2006. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE WARM STATES IN THE SOUTH. *TR

I OWN A SUNSHINE KIDS RADIAN XTSL WHICH WAS INSTALLED RFING IN OUR 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA USING THE "SUPER LATCH" LATCH STRAP WHICH IS SUPPOSEDLY ABLE TO BE USED UNTIL MY CHILD REACHES 80 LBS (THE MAXIMUM WEIGHT LIMIT OF THE SEAT).

AIR FLOAT SENSOR OR ECM PROBLEM: IN MAY 2010, WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME AFTER WORK, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME UP, AND WITHIN A FEW MINUTE, THE CAR SLOWED DOWN TO A STOP EVEN I PRESS ON THE GAS PADDLE. I TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AND TRIED STARTING IT AGAIN, AND THE CAR STARTED AGAIN AND CHECK ENGINE WAS OFF. HOWEVER, AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES OF DRIVING, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME UP AGAIN AND THE CAR SLOWED DOWN WITHIN A FEW MINUTE TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES BEFORE I GOT HOME THAT DAY.

HOWEVER, I HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM A FEW MONTHS LATER. I HAD TO REPLACE THE AIR FLOAT SENSOR AGAIN. TWO OR THREE WEEKS AFTER THE SECOND REPLACEMENT, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME UP AGAIN. I BROUGHT IT TO THE AUTO SHOP, AND THE MECHANIC FOUND PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) AND REPLACED THE ORIGINAL ECM WITH AN USED ECM.

AFTER THAT, THE ENGINE LIGHT DIDN'T COME UP AGAIN TIL ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO (FEB. 2011). AROUND THE SAME TIME, I RECEIVED AN ECM SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND HAD THE ECM REPLACED ON FEB. 19, HOPING THAT IT WILL FIX THE SECURITY LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT PROBLEM. HOWEVER, BOTH THE SECURITY LIGHT AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON AFTER THE REPLACEMENT THROUGH THE RECALL. THE TOYOTA DEALER SAID THE LIGHTS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL AND REFUSED TO DEAL WITH THE SECURITY LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ISSUE UNLESS I'M PAYING THEM TO DO A DIAGNOSE. I CALLED THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER AND THEY SAID THE SAME THING. *TR

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
IN SUMMER, COROLLA EXPERIENCE HARSH SHIFTING AND INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. ECM REPLACED IN JULY - APPROX ONE MONTH BEFORE RECALL OCCURRED. AT THE TIME OF CORRECTION, CAR WAS AT NEARLY 91,000 MILES - RESEARCH ECM ISSUES ONLINE, CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY STATED SINCE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY THEY HAD NO OBLIGATION TO COVER ECM REPAIR. RECALL RELEASED WITHIN ONE MONTH OF ECM REPAIR. LESS THAN 60 DAYS LATER, TOOK COROLLA BACK TO DEALERSHIP. CAR STILL EXPERIENCE HARSH SHIFTING. AFTER PAYING $225 FOR A TRANSMISSION FLUSH, AND DEALER SHIFTING TRANSMISSION MANUALLY, THE DEALER STATED ECM WORKS FINE, TRANSMISSION WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED AT +$3K. RESEARCHED AND IDENTIFIED SIMILAR PROBLEM IN TOYOTA RAV4 - ECM FAILURE LED TO TRANSMISSION FAILURE. FILING COMPLAINT BECAUSE I THINK TOYOTA NEEDS TO PAY FOR MY NEW TRANSMISSION. AT CURRENT TIME, TRANSMISSION NOT FIXED..WANT AN EXPLANATION, IF THE COMPONENT THAT TELLS THE TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT ACCURATELY ISN'T WORKING, THEN WHY DOESN'T TOYOTA RECOGNIZE THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAS THE POTENTIAL TO NOT WORK PROPERLY - IF PROBLEM OCCURRED IN RAV4, WHY NOT COROLLAS? NOW THAT ECM IS FIXED, TRANSMISSION IS STILL DAMAGED FROM PRIOR ECM FAILURE. UPDATED IVOQ 02/09/11 *TR
I HAVE PURCHASED A SET OF 4 HANKOOK OPTIMA 727 ALL SEASON TIRES ON 12/08/09. THESE ARE RATED FOR 100,000 MILES AND I HAVE DONE ABOUT 15,000 MILES. UNTIL RECENTLY I CONSIDERED THEM EXCELLENT BUT IN NOVEMBER AND MOST RECENTLY I HAVE FOUND THEM SKIDDING ON WET SURFACES AT RELATIVELY LOW SPEEDS 25-35 MPH. ON A PATCH OF ICE THERE WAS SKIDDING AT AROUND 10 MPH. I DID HIT THE CURB. THE ROAD GRIP SEEMS WORSE THAN OTHER ALL SEASON TIRES I HAVE USED. THE TIRES HAVE BEEN INSPECTED AND THE PRESSURE TESTED. THERE HAS BEEN NO BLOWOUT, PUNCTURE OR SHREDDING, BUT YOUR SITE ALLOWS NO "OTHER" CATEGORY. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH UP A HILL IN RAINY WEATHER CONDITIONS THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO HESITATE BEFORE STALLING.

ON 11/9/2010 AT 5:30 P.M., MY 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA CE STALLED ON I-87 (NY STATE THRUWAY--MAJOR DEEGAN) IN THE BRONX AS IT WAS BEING DRIVEN AT 55 MILES PER HOUR. THE CAR WAS OPERATING NORMALLY WHEN I LEFT WORK IN THE BRONX 20 MIN BEFORE. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR LOST ALL POWER. THE OIL AND BATTERY LIGHTS ALSO CAME ON. I PUT ON MY HAZARDS AND MANAGED TO GET FROM LEFT LANE TO SHOULDER. THE CAR STOPPED COMPLETELY BEFORE I COULD GET IT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND THE BACK END OF CAR WAS SLIGHTLY ON THE ROAD. I CALLED AAA AND THEY CALLED THE OFFICIAL COMPANY WHO HAS TO TOW CARS OFF THE THRUWAY. NO TRUCK ARRIVED FOR A LONG TIME--TWO PASSERS BY STOPPED AND HELPED ME PUSH CAR ONTO SHOULDER. THE CAR LIGHTS DIMMED AND EVENTUALLY WENT OUT. THE CAR HAD PLENTY OF FUEL WHEN IT WAS BEING DRIVEN. AFTER THE CAR STOPPED, THE CAR SEEMED ELECTRICALLY DEAD AND WOULD NOT TURN OVER AT ALL. THERE WAS NO SOUND AT ALL OR ANY CRANKING OR SPUTTERING. IT SEEMED THAT THE CAR LOST ALL POWER AND I WAS ONLY ABLE TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD DUE TO ITS MOMENTUM FROM BEING IN MOTION. WHEN NO TRUCK ARRIVED AFTER 45 MINUTES, I CALLED 311 FOR ASSISTANCE (NYC HELP LINE) AND THEY CONTACTED POLICE WHO CAME AND CALLED ANOTHER TRUCK AND SAT WITH ME WITH THEIR LIGHTS ON UNTIL TOW TRUCK ARRIVED AROUND 6:50 PM. IT WAS TOWED TO OFFICIAL TOWING STATION IN BRONX. THE REPAIR PEOPLE TOLD ME THE NEXT DAY IT MIGHT BE DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. MY CAR IS UNDER RECALL FOR THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM). THE TOYOTA DEALERS IN BRONX SAID CARS DON'T STALL BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED THERE TO HAVE IT CHECKED. I WANTED THEM TO LOOK AT IT TO SEE IF ECM WAS THE PROBLEM. ON 11/11, WHEN I CALLED THE OFFICIAL TOWING STATION TO HAVE CAR TOWED OUT, THEY SAID IT WAS FUEL PUMP AND WANTED 1100-1200$ TO FIX IT. AS OF TODAY, I AM HAVING THE CAR TOWED TO A LOCAL REPAIR STATION WHERE I LEAVE TO SEE IF THEY CAN DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND LET ME KNOW WHAT CAUSED THE STALL. *TR
MY ENGINE STOPPED THIS MORNING WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY CAR, A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA, PART OF A 1.3 MILLION CAR 2010 RECALL. LUCKILY, I WAS AT A STOPLIGHT, MY CAR RESTARTED, AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO A NEARBY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, WHERE IT IS BEING FIXED FREE OF CHARGE (ALTHOUGH IT'S TAKING 24-36 HOURS FOR THE PART TO BE RESTOCKED). TOYOTA'S KNOWN ABOUT HIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM SINCE 2005 - I'M FURIOUS THAT IT TOOK THEM 5 YEARS TO ISSUE A RECALL. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. *TR
MY 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA, ITS ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED IN 2007. THEN THE CAR DEALER REPLACED THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. IN 2008, AS THE LOSING CONTROL, THE CAR SLID OUT OF THE ROAD AND HIT THE TREE. IN 2009, THE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED AGAIN, THIS TIME THEY CHANGED GASKET AND FOUND THE AIR CAN ENTER THE ENGINE AND CAUSED THE ENGINE PROBLEM (LOSE POWER AND CAN'T DRIVE MORE THAN 30MPH). SINCE THEN, WE EXPERIENCED SUCH PROBLEMS THREE TIMES: WHEN WE DRIVE, THE CAR CAN SUDDENLY LOSE POWER AND CAN'T DRIVE MORE THAN 30MPH, BUT IT BECOME NORMAL AND THE MECHANIC WORKER CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM THE NEXT DAY. WE THINK THIS PROBLEM IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEED TO REPORT TO YOUR COMPANY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA AND IT STOPPED RUNNING IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BECAUSE OF THIS SUDDEN STALL OF MY VEHICLE. IT TURNS OUT THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE FUEL PUMP. THE FUEL PUMP IS BEING REPLACED AS I WRITE THIS COMPLAINT. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT TOYOTA NO LONGER MAKES THE ORIGINAL PUMP FOR THE CAR THAT COST ABOUT $300 BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN HAVING TO SERVICE MANY CARS WITH THAT PARTICULAR FUEL PUMP PROBLEM. AS A RESULT OF THIS PROBLEM I HAVE TO END UP PAYING ABOUT $920 FOR A NEW MODEL FUEL PUMP. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I THE CONSUMER HAS TO PAY FOR TOYOTA'S MISTAKE OF NOT PRODUCING A RELIABLE PRODUCT. WHAT IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH AND THE CAR JUST STALLED ON ME. I BELIEVE THAT THE FUEL PUMP FOR THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED BECAUSE I'M SURE THIS IS NOT THE FIRST OR LAST TIME THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN. TOYOTA SHOULD PAY THE DIFFERENCE FOR THIS MISTAKE. *TR

MY 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA WOULD NOT START ONE MORNING. I KEPT TRYING TO START IT AND NO CLICKING OR SOUND OF THE CAR TRYING TO TURN OVER HAPPENED. EVENTUALLY IT DID START BUT HAD A VERY HESITATING SOUND TO IT. THE NEXT DAY, IT HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS SO I TRIED CHARGING THE BATTERY FOR A FEW MINUTES.

LETTER FROM SENATOR SCHUMER ON BEHALF OF CONSTITUENT RE PROBLEMS WITH HER 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE ON HER WAY TO WORK, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE ENGINE LIGHT IMMEDIATELY ILLUMINATED.

WHEN I SPEEDED UP AND PRESSED GAS FROM 30 TO 55 MILE PER HOUR AT THE FREEWAY, I FOUND THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME SUDDENLY SLOWED DOWN. I WAS AT 55 MILE PER HOUR WHEN I FOUND IT AND TRIED TO PRESS THE BRAKE HARDLY. HOWEVER, THE BRAKE COULDN'T BE PRESSED HARDLY AND THE CAR COULD NOT BE STOPPED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THE CAR SLOWED DOWN SLOWLY AND HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, EVEN THOUGH I TRIED TO PRESS THE BRAKE HARDLY. THE BRAKE DIDN'T WORK WELL WHEN THE CAR IS IN THE PROCESS OF SPEEDING UP FROM LOW SPEED TO HIGH SPEED AT THE FREEWAY. *TR
THE ENGINE STALLED LOTS OF TIME WHEN I USED BRAKE TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN, OR WHEN I DROVE AT LOW SPEED IN TRAFFIC, SUCH AS 1 TO 5 MILE PER HOUR. I HAD TO PRESS GAS AT A STOP SIGN WHILE I PUT THE CAR IN PARKING POSITION TO KEEP THE ENGINE ALIVE. IT TOOK THE DEALER MORE THAN ONE MONTH TO FIX IT. THE FIRST TIME THE DEALER RETURNED IT TO ME AND TOLD ME THE PROBLEM HAD BEEN FIXED, THE CAR STALLED WITHIN 200 FT AFTER I LEFT THE DEALER. I WALKED BACK AND TOLD THE DEALER. THE DEALER TOLD ME TO DRIVE IT BACK TO HOME AND "LET THE COMPUTER LEARN BY ITSELF". I DID AS THE DEALER TOLD ME BUT THE CAR STALLED AS BEFORE. I HAD TO BRING IT BACK TO THE DEALER. DEALER CHANGED THE COMPUTER FOR ME. THE ENGINE-STALL PROBLEM IS SOLVED. RIGHT NOW, THE CAR (MOST PROBABLY THE ENGINE) STILL VIBRATES/SHAKES STRONGLY WHEN I STOP THE CAR AT THE STOP SIGN, AT THE RED LIGHT, AND DRIVE THE CAR AT VERY LOW SPEED (SUCH AS 1 TO 5 MILE PER HOUR). *TR
2005 TOYOTA COROLLA LE MODEL STALLED AND WOULD NOT RE-START AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES. FORTUNATELY IT HAPPENED PULLING UP TO THE HOUSE, AND NOT ON THE STREET OR FREEWAY. SUBSEQUENT INVESTIGATION BY THE OWNER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP. NO AFTERMARKET FUEL PUMPS WERE AVAILABLE, AND SINCE TOYOTA WANTED $1039 FOR A NEW UNIT ( IE., THE WHOLE IN-TANK MODULE), AN AUTO DISMANTLER WHO SPECIALIZED IN LATE-MODEL TOYOTAS WAS FOUND AND THE PART WAS OBTAINED FOR ABOUT $100. AFTER INSTALLATION, THE CAR HAS PERFORMED FLAWLESSLY FOR A MONTH. *TR
AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO COME TO A STOP, MY 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED (STALLED). I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING TO TRY AND FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS OR TRY TO FIX IT. *TR
ROUGHLY A MONTH AGO, OUR 2005 COROLLA WITH ABOUT 40,000 MILES SUDDENLY STALLED WHILE TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND ON A MAJOR ROAD. THE ENGINE CUT OUT WITHOUT WARNING. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE ENGINE TROUBLE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. TURNING THE IGNITION AGAIN, THE CAR WOULD START FOR A FEW SECONDS AND STALL OUT AGAIN. A FEW TIMES, UPON TRYING TO START THE CAR AGAIN, IT WOULD NOT START AT ALL. THE CAR WOULD NOT RUN AND NEEDED TO BE TOWED TO A MECHANIC. THE CAR GAVE NO SIGNS OF TROUBLE BEFORE THE STALLING INCIDENT. THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR, CRANK SENSOR AND ENGINE CONTROL COMPUTER ALL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, ACCORDING TO OUR MECHANIC. I DO NOT BELIEVE THE OLD PARTS ARE STILL AVAILABLE. *TR
BOUGHT A USED TOYOTA COROLLA IN TEXAS AT A TOYOTA DEALER, ON THE WAY HOME TO NY, AFTER A FEW HUNDRED MILES, IT DIED ON THE INTERSTATE AND MYSELF AND MY SON SPENT THE NIGHT IN IT, LIKE THE KEY WAS TURNED OFF. LOADED ON A ROLL-BACK, AND TAKEN TO A TOYOTA DEALER, THEY SAID THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHY, BUT THEY REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER. NOW, $60 DOLLARS POORER, DOWN THE ROAD I GO, ANOTHER COUPLE HUNDRED MILES, AGAIN IT DIES ON THE INTERSTATE, SPENT ANOTHER NIGHT IN IT, ONTO ANOTHER ROLL-BACK TO ANOTHER TOYOTA DEALER. THESE FOLKS TELL ME THAT I HAVE BAD COMPUTER SENSORS IN THE THROTTLE BODY, THEY INSTALL A NEW ONE, CHARGE ME $1,300 DOLLARS, AND OFF I GO, UNTIL A HUNDRED MILES DOWN THE ROAD, IT QUITS AGAIN ON THE INTERSTATE, THIS TIME ON A DANGEROUS SPOT ON A BLIND CURVE. A POLICE OFFICER PROVIDED PROTECTION FROM ON COMING TRAFFIC UNTIL THE TOW ARRIVED. ANOTHER ROLLBACK RIDE TO THE TOYOTA DEALER. THEY DO SOMETHING MORE TO IT, DOWN THE ROAD I GO, FINALLY MAKING IT HOME. NOW I KNOW THAT ITS NOT JUST MY CAR. I THINK THE TOYOTA COMPANY SHOULD HAVE REPAIRED THE COMPUTER SENSORS IN THE THROTTLE BODY AT NO CHARGE. ALL THREE TIMES THAT THE COROLLA QUIT, WE WERE IN A HEAVY TRAFFIC SITUATION IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF A MULTI-LANE INTERSTATE, AND MOVING AT THE SPEED LIMIT. WE WERE EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT NO ONE WAS HURT. *TR
OUR 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA (102,000 MILES) EXPERIENCES VERY HARD AUTOMATIC SHIFTING THAT MAKES IT SOMETIMES DIFFICULT TO CONTROL WHILE DRIVING. THIS JUST HAPPENED SUDDENLY. AT FIRST THE PROBLEM WAS JUST INTERMITTENT, BUT NOW IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE CAR CHANGES GEARS. WE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND SAW THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH 05-07 TOYOTAS OF CERTAIN MODELS, AND THAT IT'S DUE TO A FAULTY ECM. UNFORTUNATELY, TOYOTA REFUSES TO REPLACE THE ECM, WHICH IS THE ONLY ($1000+) SOLUTION. *TR
THE PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO - WHILE SHIFTING MY 2005 COROLLA (TYPICALLY WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR AND THEN FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR). IN ORDER TO NOT MAKE MY CAR STALL - I WOULD JUST GIVE IT A LOT OF EXTRA GAS TO ENSURE THAT IT WOULDN'T STALL. THE PROBLEM OCCURS REGULARLY - ALMOST EVERY TIME I DRIVE (ABOUT 1 TIME A WEEK). THE PROBLEM ONLY OCCURS WHEN STARTING AND STOPPING AND SHIFTING IN THE LOW GEARS. AFTER THIS PROBLEM STARTED IN FEB OF 2010 - I TOOK THE CAR TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THEY HOOKED THE CAR UP TO A COMPUTER AND SAID IT WAS FINE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY ALSO TOOK THE CAR ON A DRIVE TO SEE IF IT WOULD DO IT THEN, AND THEY CLAIMED IT DIDN'T. SO NOTHING WAS DONE AT THE THAT TIME. WHEN I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP, THE CAR CONTINUED TO SHIFT HARSHLY. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL WHEN DECELERATING. THE VEHICLE WOULD RESTART ALMOST IMMEDIATELY.

THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.
1. DRIVING MY 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA AT 55MPH THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE AND DEAD STOP AND WOULD NOT START. 2. THE FAILURE OCCURED ONCE. 3. THE CAR HAD TO HAVE A BRAND NEW COMPUTER "BRAIN" CHIP INSTALLED. *TR

SUDDENLY MY "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON AND WHEN I WENT TO GET IT CHECKED OUT I WAS TOLD IT WAS A DTC P2716 CODE, A HARSH SHIFT AND M.I.L. "ON" PROBLEM. SINCE I HAD DONE MY RESEARCH AND FOUND THIS PROBLEM TO BE COMMON IN 2005 TOYOTA COROLLAS, I EXPECTED THEM TO REPLACE THE ECM FOR ME. HOWEVER, GIVEN THAT MY CAR WAS JUST PAST 89,000 MILES AND THE WARRANTY ENDED AT 85,000, THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING TOYOTA WOULD DO. MY CAR EXHIBITS THE HARSH SHIFT PROBLEM REGULARLY AND NOW MY PLATES HAVE COME UP FOR RENEWAL AND I CANNOT PASS AN EMISSIONS TEST GIVEN MY "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT BEING ON. I CANNOT AFFORD TO JUST REPLACE THE UNIT AND I BELIEVE THAT SINCE TOYOTA IS AWARE IT IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM, THEY SHOULD BE RECALLING THE PART FOR CONSUMER SATISFACTION. I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL TOYOTA CONSUMER SINCE I BEGAN DRIVING BUT I HAVE LOST MY RESPECT FOR THE COMPANY GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF MY NEWEST TOYOTA AND HOW THEY HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY UNCOOPERATIVE IN HELPING RECTIFY THE SITUATION (KNOWING IT IS A DEFECT ON THEIR PART). *TR

APPROXIMATELY ONE WEEK LATER THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO INTERMITTENTLY STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED. APPROXIMATELY A WEEK AND A HALF LATER THE VEHICLE AGAIN BEGAN TO STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY INFORMED HER THEY BELIEVE THE AMPLIFIER WAS DRAINING POWER FROM THE BATTERY WHICH MAY BE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES. THE AMPLIFIER WAS REMOVED BY THE AUTHORIZED DEALER. UPON RECEIVING THE VEHICLE IT CONTINUED TO INTERMITTENTLY STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE AUTHORIZED DEALER BUT SHE WAS UNSURE IF THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURES CONTINUE TO RECUR INTERMITTENTLY.

THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR DRIVING AT NIGHT AS THE HEADLIGHT IS DIMMED TO ONCOMING CARS AS WELLS AS IT LESSENS VISIBILITY FOR THE DRIVER. IT SHOULD NOT BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE VEHICLE OWNER TO HAVE THE HEADLIGHT LENSES REPLACED WHEN THE CLOUDINESS COULD BE DUE TO POSSIBLE DEFECTIVE MATERIALS AS THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED TO ANY OTHER CAR THAT I'VE OWNED AND ANY THAT BELONG TO OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS. THE LENSES HAVE GRADUALLY CLOUDED STARTING ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. *TR

P2716 HARSH SHIFT FAULT CODE. I PURCHASED CAR FROM DEALER AS A CERTIFIED USED PERFECTLY RELIABLE ON 12/28/08 WITH 47000 MILES ON IT. THE OTHER DAY OUT OF NO WHERE, NO WARNINGS, NO NOTICEABLE CHANGES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, WHILE CRUISING UP THE 14 NORTH AT 75 MPH. DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT, STOPPED AT A FRIENDS HOUSE AND USED HIS OBD2 READER AND FOUND OUT THE ISSUE, STILL HAVEN'T NOTICED MUCH OF AN ISSUE EXCEPT FOR THE SHARP HARSH SHIFTING FROM 1ST THRU 3RD UNLESS BABYING IT. SO I GO INTO THE DEALER WITH 94786MILES AND SEE WHAT'S THE ISSUE AND WHY SO MANY PROBLEMS. I WAS TOLD YES ITS KNOWN A TSB HAS BEEN PUBLISHED, YES ITS A SAFETY HAZARD TO ANYONE ON OR AROUND THE ROAD DUE TO THE FACT IT COULD SHUT DOWN AT A MOMENTS NOTICE. BUT SINCE I AM PAST THE 80000 MI. WARRANTY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO EXCEPT OFFER ME A 10% DISCOUNT AND PAY 693.00 TO HAVE IT REPLACED, AND THERE IS NO GUARANTEE IT WILL BE PERFECT AGAIN, MANY OF OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD TO RETURN MULTIPLE TIMES FOR IT WHICH THE WARRANTY COVERS. HOW DOES MY CERTIFIED USED , EXTENDED WARRANTY PURCHASE, BEING A SAFETY HAZARD NOT COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY CONTROL, A SAFETY RECALL, OR SOMETHING? *TR
I HAVE A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 60 MPH DOWN THE FREEWAY WHEN SUDDENLY WITH NO WARNING, THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING. I HAD TO CRUISE OVER TO THE SHOULDER OUT OF DANGER. I EVENTUALLY WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ($97.00) AND TOLD ME IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP. THEY TOLD ME IT MIGHT BE COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THAT'S WHEN I ASKED THEM IF WATER COULD HAVE POSSIBLY GOTTEN INTO THE FUEL SYSTEM (GASOLINE). THEY SAID THEY DID NOT DO A FUEL CHECK, BUT WOULD DO ONE. THEY CALLED ME BACK AND SAID IT WAS CONTAMINATED GAS AND THAT SOME SILVERY METALLIC SUBSTANCE WAS IN THE GASOLINE. IT COST ME $1,605.00 TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP, CLEAN THE FUEL INJECTORS, CLEAN OUT THE GAS TANK. NEXT DAY THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE BAD GAS HAD KILLED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND THE RATIO OXYGEN SENSORS. COST ME ANOTHER $1,980.88. CALLED THE GAS COMPANY I GOT THE GAS FROM AND THEY DENIED MY CLAIM SAYING NOT ENOUGH EVIDENCE EVEN THOUGH THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMED BAD GASOLINE. THE GAS COMPANY TOLD ME THAT WHEN FUEL PUMPS GO, THEY CAN EMIT A METALLIC SUBSTANCE IN THE GASOLINE. NOW I DON'T KNOW WHO TO BELIEVE AFTER HEARING ABOUT ALL THESE FUEL PUMPS GOING. FUNNY THING IS THAT WHEN I WAS PAYING FOR MY CAR THE 2ND TIME AROUND, A WOMAN PAYING FOR HER REPAIR WORK SAID HER FUEL PUMP WENT OUT TOO. SHE HAD THE SAME CAR -- 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA !!! SHE ALSO HAD TO PAY $1,500.00. SOMETHING IS FISHY HERE. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 COROLLA S, AND THE ECU PROBLEM IS WELL-KNOWN, AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I HAD MY FIRST PROBLEM WITH MY ECU, AT 62K MILES, AND THANK GOD, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN WHILE I WAS ON MY DAILY 40 MILE COMMUTE ON A HIGH-SPEED, HEAVY-TRAFFIC HIGHWAY. MY CAR JUST WOULDN'T START AT RANDOM WHEN I WAS LEAVING A STORE, THE STARTER WASN'T CRANKING, NOTHING WAS HAPPENING, JUST NOTHING WHEN I TURNED THE KEY. NO LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD, OTHER THAN THE DOOR LIGHT WHERE I HAD THE DOOR OPEN (IT WAS 95 DEGREES, AND MY POWER WINDOWS OBVIOUSLY WEREN'T WORKING). DID RESEARCH AND SAW THAT THE ECM IS A TERRIBLE PROBLEM ON 05-07 COROLLAS, AND THE TOYOTA SERVICE MAN AGREED THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. GOT IT REPLACED, AND NOT EVEN 24 HOURS AFTER PICKING IT UP FROM THE DEALER, IT HAPPENED AGAIN, STRANDING ME AT WORK WITH NO WAY TO GET HOME. THIS IS A RIDICULOUS PROBLEM, AND IT IS CERTAINLY A SAFETY HAZARD WITH MANY REPORTS OF THE CAR STOPPING WHILE PEOPLE ARE DRIVING. *TR
WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND PUT THE CAR INTO 1ST GEAR AND PROCEEDED TO ACCELERATE UP TO 15MPG. UPON SHIFTING THE CAR INTO 2ND GEAR IT DID NOT TAKE AND THE CAR THEN MADE A NOISE. I HAD TO THEN PLACE THE CAR BACK INTO 1ST GEAR AND PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ALMOST GETTING HIT BY OTHER TRAFFIC AND STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR A FULL INSPECTION. THERE WAS NOTHING VISIBLE UPON INSPECTION AND NO CURRENT NOISES AT THAT TIME SO I PROCEEDED TO GO AGAIN FIRST SHIFTING INTO 1ST GEAR THEN SECOND AND I STOPPED AT 3RD AND WENT STRAIGHT HOME. ABOUT ONE AND 1/2 MILES LATER IT STARTED MAKING ANOTHER NOISE SIMILAR TO THE FIRST, BUT IT WAS CONTINUOUS AND SO I PARKED THE CAR AT HOME AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY THEN EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THIS WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MOTOR(BEING THE TYPE THAT IT WAS) AND WHAT HAD HAPPENED IS A ROD IN THE ENGINE HAD BEEN SPUN. THEY SAID IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE AND I COULD HAVE LOST CONTROL AND WRECKED THE CAR VERY EASILY. THEY SAID THAT DUE TO THE NATURE AND PRICE THEY WOULD NOT FIX THE CAR BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A FULL NEW ENGINE REPLACEMENT AND THAT WOULD BE UP TO $8K BECAUSE OF IT BEING A RARE AND HIGH PERFORMANCE PRICE. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION AND ONLINE RESEARCH IT IS VERY COMMON WHILE DOWNSHIFTING THIS ENGINE THAT THEY SLIP A GEAR AND SPIN THE ROD MOSTLY IN THE #4 ROD AND NEED A NEW ENGINE FOR COMPLETE REPAIRS. ALSO IT WOULD VERY LIKELY CONTINUE TO HAPPEN AGAIN AND AGAIN THUS PUTTING ME AND MY FAMILY IN DANGER ON THE ROAD. TOYOTA WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM THEY DO ACKNOWLEDGE IT AND THAT IT EXISTS, BUT WILL NOT DO THE REPAIRS BECAUSE OF THE PRICE ISSUE. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THOUGH. THE BAR ALSO REQUESTED THAT IT BE REPORTED TO NHTSA. *TR
I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT AROUND 65 MPH. THEY WERE CLOSING THE RIGHT LANE FOR ROAD WORK, LEADING EVERYONE TO MERGE INTO ONE LANE. I APPLIED MY BRAKES AND THEY LOCKED UP. AS I WAS MOVING FORWARD AND SLOWING DOWN AS EVERYONE WAS SLOWING BECAUSE OF THE MERGING (HOWEVER, THIS WASN'T HAPPENING SMOOTHLY, AS I WAS SKIDDING INSTEAD OF SIMPLY DECELERATING), I WAS REAR ENDED BY A CAR TRAVELING AT FULL SPEED (APPROX 65 MPH). THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT HIT ME INTO GRASS MEDIAN ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. WHILE STOPPED FOR MERE SECONDS, I HAD NOT EVEN PUT THE CAR INTO PARK YET, MY CAR STARTED ROLLING DOWN THE MEDIAN'S EMBANKMENT, THROUGH THE WOODS WHILE MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE. I KEPT PRESSING THE BRAKE AND IT WAS NOT RESPONDING. I HIT A TREE AFTER ROLLING APPROX 100 FEET INTO THE WOODS. A TOYOTA DEALER IS CURRENTLY DOING THE REPAIRS, AND TOLD ME THAT THE BRAKES WERE IN FACT WORKING WHEN DRIVING IT AROUND THE SHOP AT SLOW SPEEDS. I FEEL LIKE NO ONE BELIEVES ME, NOR IS EVEN OFFERING AN EXPLANATION ON HOW THIS COULD EVEN HAPPEN. *TR
I NOTICED AN ODD DISRUPTION IN NORMAL TRANSMISSION FUNCTION ON MY 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA. I SUSPECTED IT WAS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE ENGINE COMPONENT . I WENT TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ;THAT THE CAR WOULD STOP RUNNING WITHOUT REPLACING IT. ON INQUIRY I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS COMPONENT ON 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA'S. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO REPLACE THE COMPONENT. I CALLED THE TOYOTA CORPORATE OFFICE ON JUNE 8,2010 (1-800-331-4331) CALL REFERENCE NUMBER: 1006081641 IT BECAME APPARENT THAT TOYOTA KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH DEFECTIVE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE'S IN 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA'S. IF THE PHONE CALL IS PULLED BY THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY SAFETY TRAFFIC ADMINISTRATION A WIDER PROBLEM WITH DEFECTIVE ENGINE CONTROL MODULES MAY BECOME EVIDENT. I IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN I CALLED THE TOYOTA CORPORATE OFFICE. *TR THE CONSUMER HAD THE NECESSARY REPAIRS MADE AT THE DEALER AT HER EXPENSE. UPDATED IVOQ 10/18/10

MY 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA CE HAS BEEN RANDOMLY STALLING ON ME WHEN I TURN, WHEN IM AT RED LIGHTS, WHEN IM ACCELERATING AND WHEN IM SLOWING DOWN WITH NO RHYME OR REASON.

I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND THERE IS NO WAY TO DETERMINE WHEN MY GAS PEDAL WILL QUIT WORKING, NO NOISE TO LET ME KNOW IT IS ABOUT TO OR HAS HAPPENED, NO OVERHEATING OF THE ENGINE, NO SPIKES IN THE RPMS OR ANYTHING, IT JUST DOES IT. I WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT THE OTHER NIGHT AT 11PM WHEN I WAS AT A RED LIGHT AND WENT TO ACCELERATE AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE, THE PERSON BEHIND ME ALMOST REAR-ENDED ME BECAUSE OF THIS. I WAS ABLE TO TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC WHO SAID THE COMPUTER WAS READING IT WAS A FUEL ACTUATOR ISSUE. THEY ADVISED ME TO CONTACT TOYOTA SINCE THAT IS THE SAME FAILURE THAT IS BEING RECALLED ON ALL THE OTHER VEHICLES. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT TOYOTA WHICH HAVEN'T RESOLVED ANYTHING YET, SO MY CAR IS STILL STALLING AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO RESOLVE IT AS OF YET. *TR

THE SYMPTOM OF PROBLEM PRESENTS ITSELF WHILE DRIVING ALL OF A SUDDEN I WILL LOSE POWER AND THE CAR SPUTTERS AND CHUGS. TODAY, FOR INSTANCE, I WAS DRIVING 65MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, AND I LOST POWER AND NEARLY WAS REAR ENDED AND I TRIED TO NAVIGATE ACROSS TRAFFIC TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

ALSO - WHILE DRIVING THE TACHOMETER IS JUMPING ALL OVER THE PLACE. IT HAS STALLED WHILE I WAS WAITING AT A RED LIGHT. IT STALLS/LOSES POWER AT ANY SPEED OR IF I'M STOPPED. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THREE PLACES AND ALL THREE SAY THE ECM IS BAD IS NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. WHEN I CALLED THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE REPLACEMENT BECAUSE MY 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA HAS 90K MILES ON IT AND THEY'LL ONLY COVER IT IF IT HAS 80K MILES OR LESS (8YR OR 80K MILES - WHICHEVER COMES FIRST).. *TR

THE INSURANCE COMPANY WILL PERFORM AN INVESTIGATION OF THE VEHICLE BRAKE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 48,000.
I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 2004 BRAND NEW ZERO MILEAGES ON IT. IT IS TOYOTA COROLLA 2005. I NEVER HAD ANY FRONT END ACCIDENT. PROBLEM IS THE ORIGINAL COLOR OF MY CAR IS COMING OUT. IT STARTS COMING OFF FROM FRONT. I THINK IT HAD PAINT DEFECT. PAINT IS COMING OFF FROM DIFFERENT SIDES OF THE FRONT. THE ORIGINAL COLOR IS GRAY AND NOW SOME PARTS ARE COMING WHITE. I DONT KNOW WHAT DO TO BECAUSE IT LOOKS UGLY AND I NEVER WANTED MY CAR TO BE LIKE THIS.
FAILURE OF ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (CURRENTLY REFERED TO AS "ECU" BY TOYOTA TECHNICIANS). THIS IS THE SECOND FAILURE OF THIS COMPONENT FOR THIS VEHICLE. THIS FAILURE HAS CAUSED MY CAR TO BUCK SIGNIFICANTLY ON UPSHIFTS OF THE AUTOMATIC TRANS. PART WAS ORIGINALLY REPLACED IN 2006 UNDER GUIDELINES OF TSB TC014-06. TC015-07 REFERS TO THE SAME PROBLEM AND WAS ISSUED AFTER REPAIRS TO MY VEHICLE. TOYOTA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE CONTINUING FAILURE OF THIS PART.
INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) I HAVE HAD A VARIETY OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS SHOW UP IN MY 2005 COROLLA CE, [XXX]. THEY BEGAN ABOUT JULY 2009 AND CONTINUE TO THIS DAY, IN JULY, THE CAR WAS HARD TO START ON HOT DAYS. IT MAY BE CORROSION AT THE BATTERY GROUND OR IT MAY BE SOMETHING MORE SERIOUS. THEN, ABOUT THE 1ST OF JANUARY, THE ELECTRIC LOCKS FAILED TO WORK. ABOUT THE 20TH OF JANUARY, THEY WORKED AGAIN. THIS SUGGESTS THAT THE ECM IS SUBJECT TO WATER EXPOSURE, AND CORROSION....WHICH WILL LEAD TO OTHER, PERHAPS DANGEROUS, FAILS. FOR AT LEAST 6 MONTHS, THE PASSENGER SAFETY BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON. THIS TOO, SUGGESTS SOME TYPE OF WEATHER EXPOSURE TO A FLAWED DESIGN. IT IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT COULD MEAN THE SAFETY BAG MIGHT TRIGGER SPONTANEOUSLY WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION...THUS TRIGGERING AN ACCIDENT THAT COULD KILL ME, ANY PASSENGERS, AND IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT INVOLVING OTHER VEHICLES...RISKING THE LIVES OF MANY OTHERS. MY FINAL ELECTRICAL PROBLEM BEGAN ON/ABOUT 1 MARCH OF THIS YEAR. MY "ENGINE FAULT" LIGHT WENT ON AND REMAINS ON. I DID CHECK ALL FLUIDS ON THE TOP OF THE ENGINE AND FOUND THEM TO BE OKAY. I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR AND IT IS NOW SITTING IN MY CAR PORT. I WON'T DRIVE IT UNTIL I CAN FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I AM EVEN AFRAID TO DRIVE IT TO THE AAMCO BUSINESS FOR THE FREE DIAGNOSTIC CHECK THAT THEY OFFER. INSTEAD, I JUST BOUGHT A DIAGNOSTIC TOOL TO HELP ME FIGURE OUT IF THE CAR IS SAFE. I ALMOST FORGOT. LAST SUMMER, THE ODOMETER SET ITSELF BACK BY ABOUT 25,000 MILES. THIS IS ANOTHER INDICATOR OF AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN @ INTERSECTION AND OR PASSING IT. I WOULD GET A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALONE WITH A ENGINE STALL @ 15MPH AND 30MPH IT REPEATS ITSELF AT THEESE SPEEDS AND @ 2500-3000RPM WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. I HAVE LOOK ONLINE TO WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND HAVE FOUND AN ARTICLE "HTTP://WWW.AUTOBLOG.COM/2010/03/18/FOLLOWUP-TOYOTA-CONSIDERING-STALL-FIX-FOR-1-2M-COROLLA-AND-MATR/" I HAVE READ THE BLOG AND IT SEEMS THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHOM HAS THIS PROBLEM BUT SOME 1.2MILLION (COROLLA AND MATRIX MODELS FROM 2005, 2006 AND 2007) PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME EFFECT OF AND BAD ECU PROBLEM THAT WHAT SOUNDS LIKE TO ME A DEFECT AND MOST LIKE A HEALTH HAZARD IF LETS SAY MYSELF OR ONE OF THE 1.2MILLION PPLS WHOM ALSO HAVE THE SAME "SO CALLED BY TOYOTA - INCONVENIENCE TO OWNERS. I WOULD SAY MY LIFE IS IMPORTANT AND OTHER WOULD AGREE WITH ME. I WOULD LIKE TO TOYOTA RECALL THE PART THAT THEY KNOW IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM AND REPLACE IT FOR A NEW NON-DEFECTIVE PART THAT HAS THE CORRECTION APPLIED TO THEM SO THAT THIS DOES NOT HAPPEND AGAIN. AS I DO REALLY LIKE MY CAR AND WOULD LOVE TO KEEP MY FAMILY SAFE WHILE DRIVING THEIR CARS.
THIS COMPLAINT IS CONCERNING MY 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA ON THE 11TH OF MARCH 2010 WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MILES AN HOUR I WENT TO ACCELERATE TO CHANGE LANES. AS I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR MY CAR DID NOT RESPOND, AND BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN. I TURNED THE WHEEL TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND REALIZED THAT I DID NOT HAVE POWER STEERING, THUS CONFIRMING THE OVERALL STALL. I MANAGED TO GET TO THE SHOULDER AND AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE I TRIED TO TURN THE KEY AND THE CAR CAME BACK ON. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO DON DAVIS CERTIFIED TOYOTA PARTS AND REPAIR. AFTER RUNNING A THREE HOUR DIAGNOSTIC WAS REPORTED TO ME THAT "NOTHING WAS WRONG" WITH THE CAR. THE COMPUTER SHOWED NO SIGNS OF ANY TYPE OF GLITCH OR MALFUNCTION.

I OWN A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA. JUST RECENTLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. SOON AFTER THE TRANSMISSION WOULD JUMP EVERY TIME THE CAR SHIFTED INTO A HIGHER GEAR. IN OTHER WORDS, AS I INCREASED IN SPEED IT WOULD MAKE A HARD SHIFT OR SOMETHING LIKE IT. TURNS OUT THAT THE ECM IS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. FROM DOING A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM AND DEFINITELY POSES A SAFETY RISK. I LOVE TOYOTA, BUT THIS IS A PROBLEM SINCE SOME DRIVERS EXPERIENCE A COMPLETE SHUT DOWN WHILE THEY ARE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I DISCOVERED OTHER SIMILAR ISSUES AT THE FOLLOWING ADDRESS: HTTP://WWW.TOYOTANATION.COM/FORUM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=201631. *TR

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) TO ADD SOME ADDITIONAL FUEL TO THE TOYOTA FIRE STORM.....I AM THE OWNER OF A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA THAT RECENTLY HAD A "COMPUTER PROBLEM" DIAGNOSED AS A SHIFT SOLENOID PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM WAS A KNOWN ISSUE TO TOYOTA AND IT WAS SUCH AN ISSUE, THERE WAS A TSB (TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN) WRITTEN TO HELP MECHANICS DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I STOPPED BY THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE (NEW) AND THEY TOLD ME TO CALL TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE - WHICH I DID. ALTHOUGH THEY ADMITTED TO AND RECOGNIZED THE PROBLEM, THEY SAID THEY WOULD ONLY PARTIALLY REIMBURSE PEOPLE WHO HAD LESS THAN 80,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLES. I HAD OVER THAT AMOUNT. MY MECHANIC SAID IF I WERE TO TAKE IT TO A TOYOTA GARAGE, THEY WOULD JUST HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM WITHOUT TELLING ME ABOUT IT, RATHER THAN HAVE A RECALL. THAT IS THE WAY THEY CIRCUMVENT THE SYSTEM AND HAVE HIGH QUALITY NUMBERS. THEY FIX THINGS WHILE THEY ARE IN THE SHOP FOR OTHER ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. SINCE I DO ALL OF MY OWN MAINTENANCE - EXCEPT FOR MAJOR ITEMS - THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO FIX MY CAR. I WOULD LIKE THIS TO BE ADDED TO THE EXPANDING FILE ON TOYOTA. PERSONALLY, I THINK I SHOULD HAVE BEEN REIMBURSED FOR THE ALMOST $2000 IT COST TO REPLACE ONE OF THE FOUR SHIFT SOLENOID VALVES IN THE TRANSMISSION AND THEN HAVE THE FAULTY COMPUTER REPLACED. ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED PROBLEM WITH BOTH COROLLA'S AND MATRIX'S. THEY HAVE DONE THIS A LOT IN THE PAST AND SHOULD BE NAILED FOR THIS AND OTHER EPISODES. I CAN TELL YOU AS I TOLD THE LADY IN CUSTOMER SERVICE - THIS WAS THE FIRST AND LAST TOYOTA VEHICLE I WILL EVER PURCHASE. I PURCHASED THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE BECAUSE I DROVE FROM PEORIA TO INDIANAPOLIS WEEKLY FOR WORK AS A CONSULTANT AND IT HAD DECENT GAS MILEAGE. I WILL PURCHASE A GM OR FORD PRODUCT GOING FORWARD.

I WAS DRIVING FROM SANTA MARIA TO MY JOB IN LOMPOC CALIFORNIA WHEN MY ACCELERATOR JUMPED AND SPEEDED UP TO 85MPH I APPLIED MY BRAKES BUT NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK I LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AND I STARTED SPINNING AND RIGHT BEFORE THE CAR WAS ABOUT TO GO OFF THE FREEWAY I MANAGED TO GET CONTROL OF THE CAR BACK AND COME TO A STOP, I WAS TERRIFIED I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE. IT WAS UPSETTING TO SEE HOW MY ACCELERATOR JUST WAS OUT OF CONTROL. I WAS SO AFRAID AFTER THE ACCIDENT THAT I TOOK MY CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY CHECKED IT AND THE MECHANICS COULDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEMS. I DON'T TRUST MY CAR'S ACCELERATOR ANYMORE AFTER THAT HORRIFYING INCIDENT I THINK TOYOTA SHOULD DO SOMETHING TO SOLVE THIS HUGE LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM I COULD HAVE LOST MY LIFE. *TR
HERE I REPORT AN ACCIDENT WHICH MAY BE CAUSED BY TOYOTA UNINTENDED ACCELERATE PROBLEM. WE BOUGHT 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA SPORT ON JULY 09, 2004. WE DRIVE 2000-3000 MILES/ PER YEAR. AS WE BOUGHT 5 YEARS PRE-PAID MAINTENANCE, WE HAVE REGULAR MAINTENANCE SERVICE WITH FAULKNER DEALER EVERY HALF YEAR UNTIL JULY 09, 2009. THERE HAS NO BIG PROBLEMS DURING THE FIRST 3-YEAR WARRANTY PERIOD EXCEPT ON AROUND SUMMER OF 2007, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND TOYOTA DEALER REPLACED THE COMPUTER CONTROL SYSTEM WITHOUT CHARGE (WE'RE NOT SURE THE REPLACED COMPUTER NAME AND WE THINK THE DEALER SHOULD HAVE RECORD). THE WEATHER CONDITION IS LIGHT-MEDIUM RAIN WHILE OUR CAR ACCIDENT HAPPENED. WHEN THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED, MY 5-YEAR OLD SON AND I WERE IN THE CAR. THE ROAD SPEED LIMIT IS 25 MILES PER HOUR, I DROVE UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT AT A LOCAL ROAD AND IT IS ABOUT 2-3 MILES DISTANCE TO OUR DESTINATION. I REMEMBERED THAT I REDUCED THE SPEED AROUND A CURVE TO TURN ON ANOTHER ROAD. SUDDENLY I HEARD A LOUD ROARING ENGINE SOUND CAME FROM INSIDE, EVEN I PRESSED AND PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL FOR SEVERAL TIMES, BUT I FEEL THAT I STEP ON THE AIR, IT DIDN'T HELP. THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY ACCELERATED WITH THE SPEED I CAN'T CONTROL AND I LOST THE CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL, MY CAR WAS IN MALFUNCTION STATUS AND CRASHED TO THE RIGHT CURB AND THEN HIT THE BUSH WITH A HIGH SPEED AND TRAPPED IN WET MUD (THANK FOR GOD). THE ENGINE WAS STILL ROARING WITH A SCARED LOUD SOUND FOR MINUTES TILL I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND TOOK OFF THE KEY. OUR CAR WAS DAMAGED SERIOUSLY BY THIS ACCIDENT, OUR CAR INSURANCE COMPANY PAID FOR MORE THAN $7,000 FOR THE REPAIR OF THIS DAMAGE AND I PAID $1,000 FOR THIS COLLISION. WE KEPT BOTH THE POLICE AND REPAIR RECORD IN CASE YOU REQUIRED. AT THAT TIME WE DIDN'T REALIZE THIS ACCIDENT MAY BE CAUSED BY THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATE PROBLEM WHICH RECALLED . BECAUSE OUR CAR COMPUTER SYSTEM WAS REPLACED BY DEALER IN 2007, WE MAY STILL FACED THE RECALLED PROBLEM. *TR
I WAS IN THE ACT OF PARKING MY VEHICLE IN A PARKING LOT AND PLACED MY RIGHT FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND PROCEEDED TO SHIFT THE GEAR INTO THE PARK POSITION. BUT BEFORE I COULD COMPLETE THIS ACTION, MY VEHICLE SPONTANEOUSLY ACCELERATED AND HURTLED FORWARD. I WAS LUCKY THAT MY VEHICLE WAS STOPPED BY CRASHING INTO A METAL SIGN POST. HAD THE POST NOT BEEN THERE, MY VEHICLE WOULD HAVE GONE INTO A VERY BUSY MAIN ROAD. *TR
ON 4/27/09, MY 2005 COROLLA WAS TOWED TO CARSON TOYOTA. BECAUSE WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 70MPH I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE, VEHICLE WENT INTO IDLE MODE. THE TOYOTA DEALER SAID IT WAS A DEFECTIVE 02 SENSOR. ON 2/25/2010 MY COROLLA WAS RETURNED TO CARSON TOYOTA AGAIN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, THIS TIME MY WIFE EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING ON THE CITY STREETS. TOYOTA SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. *TR

AT APPROXIMATELY 105,000 MILES MY TOYOTA COROLLA BEGAN TO DEVELOP HARSH AND JERKY AUTOMATIC GEAR CHANGES WHICH PROGRESSED. AT 108,000 THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THIS AS A FAULTY ENGINE CONTROL MODULE ("COMPUTER") BASED ON CODE P2716. REPLACEMENT OF THE MODULE CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. I WAS INFORMED THAT TOYOTA HAD A SERVICE BULLETIN DATED SEPTEMBER 20, 2007 TSB NO. TC014-06 INDICATING THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THIS DEFECT AND WOULD COVER UNDER WARRANTY TO 96 MONTHS OR 80,000 MILES. *TR
2005 COROLLA, 60,000 MILES: CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. CAR WENT INTO "SAFE" MODE (IDLE SPEED) WHILE DOING 65MPH. TOYOTA REPLACED THROTTLE BODY AND THE NEXT DAY IT DID THE SAME THING. TOYOTA SAID THE "NEW' THROTTLE BODY THEY PUT IN WAS DEFECTIVE. IT'S STILL AT TOYOTA WAITING FOR ANOTHER THROTTLE BODY. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC YOU DO NOT KNOW IF IT IS GOING TO GO INTO SAFE MODE OR NOT, AND OF COURSE, GOING DOWN HIGHWAY 50-70 MPH THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE OF BEING REAR-ENDED. THIS IS NOT A SAFE SITUATION. *TR
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE 210 FWY GOING EAST. I WAS DRIVING IN THE FAST LANE AND THERE WAS A BIG RIG TO THE RIGHT OF MY VEHICLE TRAVELING IN THE SAME DIRECTION. OUT OF NO WHERE MY CAR BEGAN FISH TAILING. I WAS FIGHTING HARD WITH MY STEERING WHEEL AS TO AVOID COLLIDING WITH THE BIG RIG NEXT TO ME. I NEARLY REGAINED CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, AND AGAIN OUT OF NO WHERE MY CAR BEGAN FISH TAILING VIOLENTLY WORSE THAN BEFORE. AT THAT TIME I WAS UNABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR. MY STEERING WHEEL PULLED HARD TO THE LEFT, SPINNING MY CAR AROUND INTO THE CARPOOL LANE IMPACTING THE FRONT RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE INTO THE CENTER DIVIDER AND BOUNCING OFF CAUSING THE REAR OF MY CAR TO SWING AND HIT THE CENTER DIVIDER A SECOND TIME . THE CAR THEN CAME TO A STOP LEAVING MY CAR FACING ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO GET ACROSS THE LANES AND PULL MY CAR OFF OF THE FREEWAY. AS THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE INVOLVED A TOW TRUCK WAS CALLED TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED SINCE THE DAMAGES WERE TOO EXTENT FOR THE CAR TO DRIVE. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANOTHER OCCURRENCE OF THE CAR FISHTAILING OUT OF CONTROL WITH NO EXPLANATION. DAMAGES TO THE VEHICLE WERE REPAIRED THROUGH THE INSURANCE COMPANY. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING AT 35MPH ON A 50MPH ROADWAY, ANTICIPATING TO STOP OR STEER OFF THE ROADWAY, MY 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA BRAKES AND STEERING FAILED DESPITE REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO STOP OR STEER THE VEHICLE TO THE SOFT SHOULDER TO AVOID REAR ENDING THE VEHICLE STOPPED AHEAD OF ME. ONCE I APPLIED MY BRAKES, THE STEERING MECHANISM BECAME NON RESPONSIVE AS THOUGH BOTH BRAKES AND STEERING FAILED. I WATCHED MY VEHICLE CONTINUED ON ITS FORWARD TRAJECTORY UNTIL IT SLAMMED INTO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AT THE RED LIGHT. IN ADDITION, ONE WOULD HAVE EXPECTED THE AIR BAG ON THIS VEHICLE TO DEPLOY AT IMPACT AT THIS SPEED.

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) COMPLAINT ABOUT AN ACCIDENT ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2009 I WAS DRIVING ON OLD HWY 75 BETWEEN SALIX AND SLOAN IN IOWA AT ABOUT 6-7 PM ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2009. MY CAR WAS A COROLLA 2005 CE [XXX] WHICH HAS 4-CYLINDER AND ABOUT 67,000 MILES ON IT. AS I WAS DRIVING ON OLD HWY 75, I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN ACCELERATION, THE CAR LURCHED AND PULLED ME TO THE DITCH ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE. I IMMEDIATELY LOOSEN THE ACCELERATION PAD BUT IT DIDN'T SLOW DOWN BUT ACCELERATED TOWARDS THE RIGHT HAND SIDE. THEN I WAS SCARED THAT IT WILL ROLL OVER IN THE DITCH AND SO I PULLED IT BACK TO THE LEFT, BUT THERE WAS A VAN COMING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION (NEXT LANE) AND THUS WE HAD A HEAD-ON COLLISION. THE TWO OLD LADIES INCURRED LEG INJURIES AND THEY COULDN'T COME OUT OF THE VAN. THE TWO BOYS (ABOUT 4 YEARS OLD) SEEMED FINE AND CAME OUT OF THE VAN. LATER ON THE TWO OLD LADIES NEEDED TO HAVE SURGERIES AND THEY FILED A LAWSUIT AGAINST ME. AT THAT TIME, I FELT THAT SOMETHING'S WRONG WITH MY COROLLA BUT I COULDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO FIND IT OUT BECAUSE I NEED THE INSURANCE COMPANY TO GET ME ANOTHER CAR FOR COMMUTING PURPOSES. HOWEVER, I FEEL THAT THIS ACCIDENT WAS DUE TO THE COROLLA THAT I WAS DRIVING AT THE MOMENT AND THUS IT WAS NOT COMPLETELY MY FAULT. COROLLA 2005 IS NOT IN THE RECALL LIST, BUT I STILL WANT TO FILE THIS REPORT AND I WILL SEEK LEGAL ADVICE IN TERMS OF LIABILITY. PLEASE CONSIDER MY COMPLAINT CAREFULLY BECAUSE I ALMOST DIED IN THE ACCIDENT AND GIVE ME A REPLY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *TR

I TOO HAD UNEXPECTED TROUBLE IN 2009 WITH MY 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA CE. I WAS WEARING UNUSUALLY WIDE WORK WORK BOOTS, AND WHEN I PUT THE CAR INTO GEAR, I SOMEHOW MANAGED TO PUSH THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDALS TOGETHER. THE HARDER I PUSHED, THE MORE THE ENGINE RACED, BUT THE BRAKES WERE STRONGER. I WAS LUCKY, WITH A VEHICLE RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME IN A PARKING LOT. IN CANADA, IT IS NORMAL TO WEAR EVEN BIGGER, WIDER SNOW BOOTS IN THE WINTER. HAS ANYONE EVERY CONSIDERED THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE PEDALS AS A ROOT CAUSE FOR UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION?

2005 TOYOTA COROLLA. FOR 18 MONTHS I HAVE BEEN TAKING MY CAR TO DEALER COMPLAINING OF THE IDLING PROBLEM. I CAN BE SITTING AT THE LIGHT WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND SUDDENLY THE CAR BEGINS TO IDLE TO THE POINT THE CAR VIBRATES. I HAVE CHANGED GAS, HAD THE INJECTION SYSTEM CHECKED, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG EITHER WITH THE GAS LINE OR THE MOTOR. DURING THE RECENT SNOW STORM I WAS SITTING AT THE LIGHT WITH A 1/2 CAR LENGTH BETWEEN ME AND THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS ON LEVEL ROAD AND MY FOOT WASN'T ON THE BRAKE. THE CAR BEGAN TO IDLE FAST AND SURGED FORWARD. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND BEGAN TO SLIDE. I AM REPEATEDLY TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. HOWEVER, IT IS EITHER THE INJECTION SYSTEM, THE GAS LINE OR THE MOTOR, WHICH EVERY IT IS IT IS DANGEROUS. THEY ALSO TOLD ME NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE BRAKES AT 30,000 BUT IT TURNED OUT TO BE THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER. *TR
I OWNED A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA IT WAS WRECKED IN MAY OF 2009 THE STEERING AND BRAKES LOCKED UP ON THE CAR I TOLD MY INSURANCE COMPANY WHAT HAPPENED BUT THEY DID NOT CHECK INTO IT . I HAVE CALLED THE TOYOTA COMPANY AND THEY TOLD ME TO WRITE A LETTER I ALSO HAVE SPOKEN WITH SEVERAL ATTORNEYS. I AS OF RIGHT NOW HAVE NO OTHER WAY OF TRANSPORTATION BECAUSE THE INSURANCE COMPANY DID NOT PAY THE CAR OFF COMPLETELY. *TR
THIS IS IN REGARDS TO MY 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE COMPUTER (BRAIN) TO THE CAR WENT OUT. JUST ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING AND I CAME TO A RED LIGHT. WHEN I STOPPED, THE CAR JUST COMPLETELY TURNED ITSELF OFF. I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR AND IT WOULD NOT RESTART. IT HAD THE SOUNDS OF A DEAD BATTERY TRYING TO START BUT IT WOULDN'T TURN OVER. SO I WAS STUCK AT THE LIGHT UNTIL A TOW TRUCK CAME TO GET ME. UPON TAKING IT TO A REPAIR SHOP, I FOUND OUT THAT THE COMPUTER HAD GONE OUT. I WAS THEN TOLD THAT THEY HAD A NOTICE OUT TO ALL MECHANICS SO IF A CAR CAME INTO THERE SHOP, THEY WOULD KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. I THEN CONTACTED TOYOTA WHO TOLD ME THAT I WAS 8,000 MILES OVER THE WARRANTY THAT THEY HAD SET TO REPLACE THIS DEFECT. I TRIED NUMEROUS TIMES TO GET THEM TO REPLACE IT AND THEY FLAT OUT DENIED ME. I KNOW MY CAR WASN'T THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. WHEN I TOLD THEM THAT I FELT IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE, THEY JUST TOLD ME THERE WASN'T ANYTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. MY REASONING FOR IT BEING A SAFETY ISSUE HAS TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT WHEN THAT PART GOES OUT, THE CAR WILL JUST TURN OFF AND YOU ARE STUCK. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE AT A LIGHT. WHAT IF I WAS ON THE FREEWAY? I WOULD OF BEEN STRUCK FROM BEHIND FROM THE OTHER CARS THAT WERE BEHIND ME GOING 65MPH. AFTER ARGUING WITH TOYOTA AND GETTING NOWHERE, I ENDED UP PAYING OVER $700.00 TO HAVE THE PART REPLACED SO I COULD ONCE AGAIN USE MY CAR TO GET TO WORK. I FEEL THAT TOYOTA SHOULD OF BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS, SINCE THEY KNEW THEY HAD A PROBLEM WITH THEM AND THEY SHOULD OF BEEN WILLING TO REPLACE THE PART NO MATTER HOW MANY MILES WERE ON THE VEHICLE. *TR
TL*THE 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER HE DROVE OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD THERE WAS TOO MUCH PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE TRACTION CONTROL FEATURE ACTIVATED CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO LOCK AND CAUSED THE CONTACT TO CRASH INTO A DITCH. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND THERE WERE NO PRIOR WARNINGS. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INJURED. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED FOR THE INCIDENT.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA. SINCE THE DATE OF PURCHASE, SHE NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN AND LOCKED WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN. A LOCAL MECHANIC REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES AND THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE SECOND TIME SHE TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC, THE FRONT BALL JOINTS WERE REPLACED AND THE VEHICLE WAS ALIGNED. NONE OF THE REPAIRS CORRECTED THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,000.
I OWN A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA WHICH WAS PURCHASED CERTIFIED USED AT 21,000 MILES. SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AT LEAST 7 TIMES FOR AN ALIGNMENT. THE CAR PULLS TO THE RIGHT AND SOMETIMES TO THE LEFT, BETWEEN 40 TO 65 MPH. I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS DUE TO THE HIGHWAY CONDITIONS HERE IN CALIFORNIA, BUT I HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON MOSTLY SURFACE STREETS FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS, AND THE SAME ISSUE KEEPS OCCURRING. ALSO, IN REVERSE THERE IS A LARGE KNOCKING SOUND AND ACCELERATION WHEN IT IS COLDER THAN 50 DEGREES. *TR
I WAS DRIVING BACK TO HOME AFTER WORK. THE CAR FEELS LIKE CHOKED AND STOPPED. I MANAGED TO STOPPED ON THE SIDE. CAR CAN NOT BE STARTED AGAIN. STARTER IS FINE, JUST CAN NOT START THE ENGINE. HAVE IT TOWED TO SHOP AND THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THE FUEL PUMP WAS DEAD. SINCE THE CAR WAS ASSEMBLED IN JAPAN, THE FUEL PUMP IS $900 ON PARTS, AND LABOR IS EXTRA. I HAD THE CAR FOR 4 AND HALF YEARS, LESS THAN 50K MILES. THAT IS A PUMP INSIDE THE GAS TANK, WHICH SUPPOSE TO LAST AT LEAST 10 OR 15 YEARS. LUCKY THERE WAS NO CAR BEHIND ME WHEN THIS HAPPENED, OTHERWISE I WOULD BE HIT FROM BEHIND. *TR
I BOUGHT A 2005 COROLLA SE FEBRUARY 2009. IMMEDIATELY AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR I NOTICED THAT IT VEERED HEAVILY TO THE RIGHT AND THOUGHT MAYBE THE ALIGNMENT WAS OFF. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER BECAUSE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY TEST DROVE IT AND SAID THAT IT WAS OK. THE PROBLEM PERSISTED SO I TOOK IT BACK AGAIN AND THE TECHNICIAN EXPLAINED TO ME THAT "ALL TOYOTAS VEERED TO THE RIGHT" AND THAT DOING AN ALIGNMENT WOULD NOT HELP ANY AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. THIS HAPPENS ON ALL ROADS AT ANY SPEED, NOT JUST HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT VEERS AT 25 MPH AND THE TECH ALSO TOLD ME THAT IT WONT VEER IF I DON'T ACCELERATE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE LOGIC IN THAT. IT SEEMS TO ONLY BE GETTING WORSE I HAVE TO HOLD MY STEERING WHEEL ABOUT 10 DEGREES TO THE LEFT AT ALL TIMES WHILE DRIVING TO DRIVE STRAIGHT. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR AND NOW I AM STUCK PAYING FOR IT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO OR WHO WILL LISTEN. PLEASE HELP OR INITIATE A RECALL. THANK YOU. *TR

LAST FALL AFTER IDLING FOR A FEW MINUTES I BACKED OUT OF A DRIVEWAY AND THE CAR BEGAN TO SPEED UP. I IMMEDIATELY SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES. I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED AND ASSUMED IT WAS SOMEHOW MY FAULT. I HAD A FRIEND WITH ME WHO WITNESSED THE WHOLE INCIDENT. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN IN MY PARKING GARAGE.

I HAVE A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA. SOMETIME IN MID-LATE 2007 I STARTED THE CAR UP AND AFTER IT STARTED UP THE ENGINE BEGAN RACING WHILE I WAS STILL IN PARK. I HADN'T DEPRESSED THE GAS PEDAL ENOUGH TO WARRANT THAT LEVEL OF ENGINE RACING. I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND CALLED UP THE TOYOTA DEALER WHERE I SERVICE THE CAR TO REPORT IT AND ASK WHAT I SHOULD DO. I WAS TOLD THAT PERHAPS SOMETHING WAS MOMENTARILY STICKING IN THE THROTTLE AND TO BRING IT IN IF IT RECURS. TO MY KNOWLEDGE, THE SITUATION HAS NOT RECURRED, BUT I THOUGHT I SHOULD REPORT IT IN LIGHT OF THE CURRENT SUA PROBLEMS WITH TOYOTA VEHICLES. THE 2005 COROLLA IS NOT AMONG THE VEHICLES BEING RECALLED BY TOYOTA. MY VEHICLE HAD MAYBE 25,000 MILES AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. *TR

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. HOWEVER, GIVEN THE SAFETY CONCERNS WITH DRIVING THE CAR (AND OUR FEAR OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT), WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO FIX THE DEFECT AND BELIEVE THAT TOYOTA SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING THE DEFECT. *TR

I OWN/DRIVE A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA CE. STARTING LAST YEAR (2008) IT BEGAN STALLING WHILE DRIVING. THE FIRST TIME IT STALLED AS I WAS TAKING A RIGHT TURN INTO THE PARKING LOT. LATER IN THE SUMMER OF 2009 THE ECM HAD TO BE REPLACED AS SOON AS THE VEHICLE REACHED 80,000 MI. (WHICH IS JUST OVER THE WARRANTY LIMIT). I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE THE PREVIOUS INCIDENT WAS RELATED TO THE ECM. HOWEVER, THIS FALL THE PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN AND THE CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH ON A LOCAL STREET. EVERY BUMP BEGAN TO MAKE THE LIGHTS FLICKER AND THE ENGINE STALL. SPARKS CAME OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD EVERY TIME I HIT A DEVIATION IN THE ROAD. I WENT TO A NEARBY LOCAL SHOP AND THEY SAID IT WAS RELATED TO A BROKEN PIECE HOLDING THE BATTERY. THEY REMOVED THE BROKEN BRACKET AND THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO HAVE STOPPED. DURING THAT DRIVE IT PROBABLY STALLED ABOUT 10 TIMES. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT OCCURRED AGAIN, HOWEVER, I CANNOT EXPRESS HOW AWFUL IT WAS TO BE DRIVING WITH TWO CHILDREN IN YOUR BACK SEAT IN A VEHICLE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE SAFE WHILE IT STALLS AND YOU HAVE TO QUICKLY MANEUVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. OF COURSE TOYOTA DOES NOT HAVE ANY INTEREST IN HELPING ME WHILE I AM ABOVE MY WARRANTY. I THINK THAT THIS ISSUE ALONG WITH THE ECM NEEDING TO BE REPLACED AT WARRANTY EXPIRATION IS ENOUGH FOR ME NEVER TO PURCHASE ANOTHER TOYOTA VEHICLE EVER AGAIN. *TR

I AM CONTACTING ODI NHTSA ABOUT A PROBLEM WITH MY TOYOTA COROLLA 2005, REGARDING THE REPLACEMENT OF THE CHARCOAL VAPOR CANISTER. BACK, IN OCTOBER 2007, MY CAR'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON (THIS WAS WHEN THE MILEAGE WAS AROUND 41,200). BY 'GLEN TOYOTA NJ' I CAME TO KNOW THAT THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, DEW CHARCOAL CANISTER FAILURE. ALSO I WAS TOLD: BECAUSE THE WARRANTY IS EXPIRED AFTER 36000 MILES, THE TOTAL REPAIR AROUND $480 WAS PAID BY ME. MY FRUSTRATION IS, THAT IT BROKE AFTER WARRANTY, BUT S L I G H T L Y OVER 36,000 MILES. I THINK, THAT ACCORDING TO FEDERAL REGULATIONS IN TOUGHENING CAR EMISSION REQUIREMENTS, AN EMISSION CONTROL DEVICE SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN JUST TWO AND A HALF YEARS. ALSO I LEARNED THAT USA GOVERNMENT OBLIGATED ALL CAR MANUFACTURERS TO EXTEND WARRANTY FOR EXHAUST SYSTEM UP TO 80,000 MILES. IF YOU ARE IN POWER, THIS IS THE RIGHT TIME TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY UP TO 80,000 FOR EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM DEVICES. ALSO BECAUSE OF A HUGE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINS, PARTICULARLY FOR CHARCOAL VAPOR CANISTERS TOYOTA MANUFACTURER SHOULD PRONOUNCE A RECALL. *TR SINCERELY ISAAC

THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED AT THE COST OF $900. THE DEALER WAS THE ONLY PLACE THAT HAD THE PART AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,063.
2005 TOYOTA COROLLA. CONSUMER STATES THAT THE HEADLIGHTS COVERS ON HIS 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA ARE STARTING TO DISCOLOR. *NJ THE CONSUMER STATED AS TIME PASSED THE AMOUNT OF HEADLIGHT STRENGTH ON THE ROAD AHEAD DECREASED. *JB
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PLASTIC HEADLIGHT COVERINGS WERE DISCOLORED, WHICH CAUSED POOR VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE DEALER COULD CLEAN THE HEADLIGHTS, WHICH WOULD MAKE THEM THINNER. THE CONTACT DID NOT BELIEVE THAT WOULD BE EFFECTIVE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,271. UPDATED 06/09/09 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE PLASTIC HEADLIGHT LENS THAT COVERS THE HEADLIGHT WAS STARTING TO DISCOLOR. THE PROBLEM HAS PROGRESSED TO THE POINT THAT HE HAS A DIFFICULT TIME SEEING THE ROAD AT NIGHT. UPDATED 06/10/09.*JB THE CONSUMER IS CONCERNED ABOUT THE ENGINE RECALL. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED HIS VEHICLE WAS A PART OF THE RECALL. HE IS CONCERNED THE ENGINE MAY SHUT DOWN BEFORE THE RECALL IS PERFORMED, DUE TO LIMITED PARTS. ALSO, THE POWER STEERING HOSE, BATTERY, AND WATER PUMP WAS REPLACED. UPDATED EVOQ 09/22/10. *JB
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHEN THE CONTACT SLIGHTLY DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AT 1 MPH, THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. HE IS IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING THE VEHICLE INSPECTED TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 19,652. UPDATED 07/14/09 *BF UPDATED 07/15/09.*JB
2005 TOYOTA COROLLA DID NOT PASS EMISSIONS INSPECTION. CAR TAKEN TO LIA TOYOTA, NORTHAMPTON, MA. DEALER SAID CAR COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT HAD TO ORDER PART FROM TOYOTA. SO FAR IT'S BEEN TWO WEEKS AND THE PART MAY BE DELIVERED IN ANOTHER TWO WEEKS PER TOYOTA. OVER 1600 OF THESE COMPUTERS ARE ON BACKORDER WITH NO DELIVERY DATE SUPPLIED. I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR ANOTHER EMISSIONS INSPECTION, COULD E STOPPED BY POLICE AND HAVE MY INSURANCE INCREASED FOR SIX YEARS. I FEEL THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT AND TOYOTA IS NOT REALLY RESPONDING TO ME OR OTHER CUSTOMERS AND BECAUSE THE PERT (VERY EXPENSIVE) CANNOT BE SUPPLIED BEFORE 4/30 I AM INCURRING ADDITIONAL EXPENSES. IT SHOULD NOT TAKE A MONTH TO GET A PART. THE DEALERSHIP IS WAITING FOR 12 OF THESE COMPUTERS AND IS BEING SHIPPED TWO AND HAS 3 CARS THAT DON'T EVEN RUN. *TR
THE AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER IS MOUNTED IN FRONT OF THE RADIATOR AND IS NOT PROTECTED FROM ROAD DEBRIS IN ANY MEASURE. ONCE HIT BY A SMALL ROCK OR SIMILAR ITEM THE CONDENSER HAS TO BE REPLACED FOR ABOUT $600. A SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED BY TOYOTA ADVISES INSTALLATION OF A DEFLECTOR SHIELD WHICH COMES WITH THE REPLACEMENT CONDENSER FROM THE DEALER. SIMPLE CORRECTION OF THIS PROBLEM IS INSTALLATION OF A DEFLECTOR SHIELD BEFORE THE PROBLEM ARISES. AIR CONDITIONING IS A POSSIBLE HAZARD IN HOTTER AREAS OF OUR COUNTRY AS WILL AS THE CONDENSER DOES NOT WORK WHEN USING DEFROST OR DEFOGGING ON THE WINDSHIELD WHICH IS A SIGHT HAZARD. YOUR ASSISTANCE IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR
I GOT MY CAR IN 2005 AND I HAS NOTHING BUT 30 THOUSAND MILES, WHEN I GOT IT RAN WELL AND STILL DOES. THE AIR CONDITIONING WORKS FOR 20 MINUTES THEN TURNS OFF AND TURNS BACK ON AND FROM WHAT I HEAR IM NOT THE ONLY ONE. WHEN I SAY IT TURNS OFF I MEAN IT BLOWS LUKEWARM. I THINK TOYOTA NEEDS TO DO A RECALL BECAUSE THIS IS RIDICULOUS ON A FAIRLY NEW CAR! *TR
I OWN A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA. A FEW WEEKS AGO, I NOTICED THAT MY AIR CONDITIONER WAS BLOWING HOT AIR. WHEN I HAD IT LOOKED AT BY A MECHANIC, I WAS TOLD THAT DEBRIS GOT INTO THE CONDENSER AND DAMAGED IT, REQUIRING A REPAIR. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND DISCOVERED THAT TOYOTA ISSUED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN AC002-06 "LOWER GRILLE MESH PROTECTION COVER," WHICH ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE FAILURE TO INCLUDE A PROTECTION COVER NEAR THE MESH GRILLE HAS CAUSED DEBRIS TO GET INTO THE AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSER, AND THEREBY DAMAGING IT. TOYOTA HAS INCLUDED THE GRILLE PROTECTION COVER IN SUBSEQUENT TOYOTA COROLLA MODELS, BUT IT REFUSES TO ADD THE COVER TO THE OLDER MODELS OR REIMBURSE CUSTOMERS FOR THE EXPENSE IN REPLACING DAMAGED CONDENSERS THAT HAVE RESULTED FROM THIS DESIGN DEFECT. *TR
ECU (ENGINE CONTROL UNIT) MALFUNCTION CAUSES HARD SHIFT ON TRANSMISSION. TOTAL REPLACEMENT CHARGE SUMS UP TO 762.00 AS PER TOYOTA DEALER. TOYOTA COROLLA S 2005 REPLACEMENT INFORMATION IN DATA BASE IS 89661 02C11 VS. 89661 02C12 ON PHYSICAL ENGINE CONTROL UNIT PART. COMPATIBILITY IN QUESTION. CUSTOMER SERVICE ADMITTED TO HAVE A TOTAL OF 4 CAR WITH SAME PROBLEM DURING THE SAME WEEK. ALSO SAID THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE IT WITH AN UPGRADED UNIT QUESTIONING THE MANUFACTURE PERFORMANCE. *TR
I PURCHASED CAR NEW AND DRIVE BELT BEGAN SQUEALING AT 22,000 MILES. IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY SO TOOK IN TO HAVE FIXED AND THEY ONLY REPLACED THE BELT. NOW AT 45,000 DOING IT AGAIN. TOYOTA HAS BULLETIN TO REPLACE TENSIONER ARM BECAUSE THEY HAVE HAD SO MANY GO BAD. TENSIONER ARM IS DEFECTIVE AND CAUSING BELT TO WEAR OUT PREMATURELY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. I HAVE HEARD OTHER COROLLA OWNERS HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE W/THEIR CAR. IT'S UNFAIR THAT A PART IS DEFECTIVE AND ALL CAR OWNERS HAVE TO PAY THE $350 TO HAVE CORRECTED. THERE WASN'T AN INCIDENT/ACCIDENT BUT I THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW. THANK YOU. *TR
VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING 15-25 MPH WITH MODERATE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC 2 LANE ROAD AROUND 1:15PM WITH DRY CLEAR CONDITIONS. SECOND VEHICLE ATTEMPTING TO CROSS ROAD COLLIDED WITH FIRST VEHICLE IN THE LEFT REAR FENDER CAUSING THE FIRST VEHICLE TO ROTATE 180 DEGREES TO COLLIDE WITH A THIRD VEHICLE BREAKING THE FRONT AXLE OF THE FIRST VEHICLE, SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED BUT DID NOT INFLATE. FIRST VEHICLE TOTALED. 1 INJURY(PASSENGER),CUTS TO EAR REQUIRING 8 STITCHES & SHOULDER INJURED DUE TO SECONDARY IMPACT. *TR
ON DECEMBER 11, 2008 MY DAUGHTER DROVE MY CAR TO HER PART TIME JOB, SHE CALLED AND TOLD ME THAT THE CAR STOPPED ON HER AS SHE PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT OF THE BANK, BUT STARTED BACK UP. THAT AFTERNOON UPON LEAVING THE BANK, THE CAR STOPPED AGAIN. SHE CALLED AND STATED THAT SHE SAW SMOKE COMING FROM THE CAR. WITH IN MINUTES THE CAR WAS IN FLAMES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO PUT OUT THE FLAMES BEFORE THE CAR COMPLETELY BURNED, LEAVING BARE METAL, ALL THE WINDOWS WERE SHATTERED.. THE FLAMES WERE SO HOT THAT WINDOW OF THE STORE BROKE. *TR
MY 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA CE, THE AIR CONDITIONER JUST WENT OUT AND THERE IS NO AIR COMING OUT AT ALL, IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A PROBLEM WITH FREON, IT SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE CAR. NO AIR HOT OR COLD. *TR
SINCE I BOUGHT MY CAR USED LAST YEAR, THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW HAS BEEN STICKING SOMETIMES. I THOUGHT THAT IT USUALLY HAPPENED WHEN THE WEATHER WAS WARM BUT REALIZED THAT IT EVEN HAPPENED WHEN IN COLD WEATHER, SO IT IS PROBABLY NOT WEATHER RELATED. WHEN I WANT TO PUT THE WINDOW DOWN, IT HAS BEEN POPPING DOWN LIKE IT WAS STUCK ON SOMETHING, I DON'T EVEN FEEL LIKE PUTTING IT DOWN SOMETIMES BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE IM GOING TO BREAK THE WINDOW MOTOR. THEN YESTERDAY WHEN I TRIED TO PUT THE WINDOW DOWN...THE DOOR PANEL WAS POPPING OUT AS IF THE WINDOW RUBBER WAS CURLING DOWN INTO THE WINDOW CHANNEL...ALTHOUGH THAT IS NOT WHAT I SAW OCCURRING. AT THAT TIME IT ALSO MADE A POPPING NOISE WHICH I HAVE HEARD LOUDER THEN OTHER TIMES. *TR
I HAVE A 2005 COROLLA THAT STALLED OUT ON ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING 65 MILES AN HOUR. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD TROUBLE STARTING THE CAR, EVEN THE DAY I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT BRAND NEW. TOYOTA STATED THAT THEY DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN A WEEK AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR. SO AFTER IT STALLED I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER SHIP, WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL PUMP WENT BAD. I WAS UPSET THAT MY 4YR OLD CAR NEEDED A NEW FUEL PUMP. I WAS TOLD THAT THE COST TO REPLACE THE PUMP WAS $1500. I LATER FOUND OUT THAT TOYOTA PUT OUT A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT THE FAULTY PUMP, AND THEY HAD TO CHANGE THE DESIGN. SO TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THIS DESIGN FLAW. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A GARAGE, WHERE THEY PUT IN A USED FUEL SYSTEM FROM A JUNKED CAR. THE COST WAS ABOUT $500, SO I HOPE THAT THIS PUMP WILL LAST A FEW YEARS. *TR
I HAVE ENCOUNTERED WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE A MAJOR MANUFACTURING ERROR. MY VEHICLE'S ENGINE PRODUCES A VERY LARGE AND INSTANTANEOUS INCREASE IN HORSEPOWER (A 'SURGE') AT 6800 RPM (DUE TO A 'CAM SWITCHOVER'). I HAVE OBSERVED DYNAMOMETER READOUTS WHICH PLACE THIS JUMP AT AROUND 40HP. BECAUSE OF THIS STRANGE AND INSTANTANEOUS JUMP IN HORSEPOWER, DURING SLIPPERY CONDITIONS, OR ON ROADS WITH DEBRIS SUCH AS SAND OR GRAVEL, THE CAR WOULD, WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING, LOSE TRACTION WHEN IT HIT THIS POWER SURGE 'POINT'. I AM WELL AWARE THE XRS IS A PERFORMANCE TYPE VEHICLE, AND ENJOY IT WHEN ROAD CONDITIONS ARE PERFECT, YET IT CAUSES ME GREAT DISCOMFORT TO KNOW THAT MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY DURING RAIN OR SNOW (OR WITH SAND OR GRAVEL ON THE ROAD SURFACE) MAY MEAN AN ABRUPT LOSS IN TRACTION LEADING TO A CRASH, INJURY, OR WORSE. I HAVE PERSONALLY EXPERIENCED SOME VERY UNNERVING NEAR-ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE ENGINE'S BIZARRE POWER DELIVERY. STRANGELY ENOUGH, MY RESEARCH INDICATES THAT PREVIOUS ITERATIONS OF THE SAME ENGINE PRODUCED BY TOYOTA HAVE THE 'CAM SWITCHOVER POINT' PLACED MUCH LOWER IN THE RPM RANGE, LEADING TO A MUCH SMOOTHER POWER DELIVERY (WHICH I BELIEVE IS SAFER AND MORE PREDICTABLE). I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA A TOTAL OF THREE TIMES, ONCE THROUGH MAIL AND TWICE BY PHONE, ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THE REPRESENTATIVES I TALKED WITH COULD/WOULD NOT ANSWER MY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, AS WELL AS REFUSING TO ADMIT TO A PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR SPECIAL EDITION CAR. WITH WINTER APPROACHING, I'M NOT WAITING TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT TO REPORT THIS MANUFACTURER ERROR, ESPECIALLY SO SINCE TOYOTA HAS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM. *TR
VEHICLE AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED WORKING. TOYOTA DEALER DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AS A/C CONDENSER MUST HAVE BEEN HIT BY A ROCK. COST TO REPLACE IS $770.00. THE VEHICLE HAS NO PROTECTIVE COVERS TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING. TOYOTA HAS NOW PLACED PROTECTIVE COVERS ON LATER MODEL VEHICLES TO PREVENT THIS PROBLEM FROM HAPPENING IN THE FUTURE. *TR
I'VE BEEN DRIVING A 2005 COROLLA CE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE A/C STOPPED WORKING. IT BLOWS WARM AIR, WARMER THEN THE AIR TEMPERATURE OF OUTSIDE. I LIVE IN THE LOWER DESERT OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WHERE TEMPERATURES REACH UP TO 115 DEGREES. ACCORDING TO TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN AC002-06, TOYOTA FAILED TO PROTECT THE COMPRESSOR. WITH DAILY USE, ROCKS CONTINUE TO DAMAGE THE COMPRESSOR UNTIL THE AC STOPPED WORKING. AT TIMES I FELT WEAK AFTER GETTING INTO MY CAR AFTER A DAY OF SITTING IN MY WORKS PARKING LOT. I'M EXTREMELY HOT AND HAVE HAD ONSET OF HEADACHES WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CONTACT SPORADICALLY HEARD A LOUD SQUEALING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE ACCESSORY DRIVE BELT/ BELT TENSIONER ASSEMBLY FAILED. THE CONTACT WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE $500 REPAIR COSTS. THE TECHNICIAN ALSO STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER ISSUED TSB NUMBER 02107 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE:BELTS AND ASSOCIATED PULLEYS) PERTAINING TO THIS FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE EXCEEDED 36,000 MILES, THEY WOULD NOT ASSUME ANY LIABILITY. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 42,000. UPDATED 10/14/08. *LJ UPDATED 10/16/08.*JB
TIRE VALVES ON ALL 4 TIRES FAILED WITHIN A 2 MONTH PERIOD. TIRES WERE YOKOHAMA AVID T4 AND WERE FITTED BY PRESTIGE TOYOTA ON DECEMBER 9, 2006. TIRE 1 FAILED ON JUNE 24TH 2008 ON GARDEN STATE PARKWAY, NJ. TIRE WAS NOT RECOVERABLE DUE TO US HAVING TO DRIVE ALMOST 1 MILE ON THE TIRE TO GET TO A SAFE AREA TO PULL OVER. IT WAS REPLACED THAT DAY MAVIS DISCOUNT TIRES IN NANUET NY. TIRE 2 FAILED ON JULY 10 ON THE GEORGE WASHINGTON BRIDGE IN NJ. AS WE HAD TO DRIVE OVER THE BRIDGE TO SAFELY PULL OVER THE TIRE WAS NOT RECOVERABLE. IT WAS REPLACED NEXT DAY BY MAVIS DISCOUNT TIRES IN NANUET NY. TECHNICIAN SAID TIRE FAILED DUE TO BROKEN VALVE. TIRE 3 FAILED ON AUGUST 24 IN RIDGEWOOD NJ AFTER DRIVING FROM PHILADELPHIA TO NYC. TIRE WAS RECOVERABLE AND EXAMINED BY TECHNICIAN AT FORT LEE TIRE CENTER ON AUGUST 25TH. TECHNICIAN OBSERVED BROKEN VALVE. VALVE WAS REPLACED AND TIRE REINFLATED. TECHNICIAN ALSO INSPECTED TIRE 4 (THE LAST REMAINING GOOD TIRE). BY SLIGHTLY PRESSING ON THE VALVE IT CAME APART AND THE TIRE DEFLATED. TECHNICIAN REPLACED VALVE IMMEDIATELY. *TR
THIS COMPLAINT IS BASED ON TWO INSTANCES OF MY COROLLAS CONDENSER BREAKING DOWN BECAUSE OF ROCKS HITTING IT WHILE DRIVING. LAST YEAR MY WIFE ASKED ME TO LOOK AT THE AC OF OUR COROLLA AS THE AC WAS NOT BLOWING COLD AIR. SHE TOOK IT TO THE TOTOYA DEALER IN DUNCANVILLE, TX AND THEY TOLD US THAT THE CONDENSER WAS NOT COVERED AND WE HAD TO PAY $600 TO FIX. WE CHOSE TO BUY THE CONDENSER ELSEWHERE AND TO INSTALL IT MYSELF. NOW A ABOUT A YEAR LATER, WE RAN OUT OF COLD AIR AGAIN. I DID NOT THINK IT WAS THE CONDENSER. WHAT IS THE LIKELIHOOD THAT A REPLACED NEW CONDENSER GOES BAD. WE WENT TO AUTO ZONE TO GET A RECHARGE KIT AND SEALER. AFTER APPLYING THEM THERE STILL WAS NO COLD AIR AND THEIR IS A VISIBLE LEAK ON THE FRONT REGION WHERE THE FIRST CONDENSER ALSO SUFFERED DAMAGE. SEARCHING FOR REPLACEMENTS ON THE INTERNET I CAME ACROSS SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND NO SOLUTION FROM TOYOTA OTHER THAN TO PAY TO REPLACE THE CONDENSER. TOYOTA EVEN ADMITS THIS IN TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN AC002-06 "LOWER GRILLE MESH PROTECTION COVER." IN THE INTRO IT READS SOME CUSTOMERS MAY EXPERIENCE DAMAGE TO THE A/C CONDENSER IF THE VEHICLE IS USED REGULARLY. I DO NOT BELIEVE I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THEY SHOULD HAVE FIXED SO I DON'T HAVE TO REPLACE MY CONDENSER EVERY YEAR OR MAYBE MORE FREQUENTLY. THEY SHOULD PAY TO REPAIR MY DAMAGE AND TO INSTALL THE COVER TO PROTECT IT FROM NOW ON. OUR IS COROLLA 2005. *TR
A/C CONDENSER FAILURE. DESIGN FAILURE. HAD TO REPLACE UNIT TWICE BEFORE I MADE MY OWN SHIELD.. NO HELP FROM DEALER. YOU WOULD THINK THAT IF THEY HAD A DEFECTIVE DESIGN AND FIXED IT ON THE NEXT YEARS MODEL THAT THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF ANY PRIOR COMPLAINTS.. JUST SHOWS THAT SERVICE AND CUSTOMER RETENTION IS NOT PART OF THEIR CREED. MY RECOMMENDATION TO MY FRIENDS HAS THIS STORY WITH IT NOW THAT I KNOW THAT OTHERS ARE IN THE SAME SITUATION. GOOD LUCK. HELLO NISSAN AND HONDA. *TR
A/C CONDENSER WHICH WENT OUT ON MONDAY. I'VE DISCOVERED THAT TOYOTA ISSUED TSB AC002-06 ADMITTING THAT THE CONDENSER IS FLAWED. HOWEVER, BECAUSE IT WAS NOT RECALLED, THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE. I AM HAVING IT REPAIRED BECAUSE I LIVE IN NEW ORLEANS AND THE HEAT IS UNBEARABLE. THIS IS A TOTALLY UNFAIR PRACTICE. I THINK THAT THESE ISSUES SHOULD BE ILLEGAL SINCE THEY'VE ADMITTED THE FLAW. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO PROTECTION FOR THE NEW CONDENSER. IT WAS CORRECTED IN THE 2007 MODEL BUT NOT THE 2005. I AM LIVID AT THE FACT THAT TOYOTA IS SO UNCARING ABOUT THE 2005 OWNERS. I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIR ($677) AND, ALSO, ADVISED AS TO HOW I CAN PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. WHERE CAN I FIND MESH TO PROTECT THE NEW CONDENSER? *TR
THE REAR GLASS SEPARATED FROM THE MOLDING. *TR
RADIATOR FAILURE (83K) FOLLOWED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER BY AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER FAILURE. CRACK IN RADIATOR -- LOOKED LIKE A DEFECTIVE PART TO A STEEL EXPERT WHO SAW THE RADIATOR. *TR
VEHICLE IMPACT A WOOD LIGHT POLE A THE BOTTOM OF A HILL. FRONTAL DAMAGE BROKE THE STEEL BUMPER REINFORCEMENT BAR. DAMAGE WAS DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE LEFT FRONT IMPACT SENSOR. FRONT AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONERS DIDN'T ACTIVATE. ONLY TWO ADULTS IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF CRASH AND THEY BOTH HAD SEAT BELT ON. PASSENGER HIT REAR VIEW MIRROR AND WINDSHIELD. *TR
2005 TOYOTA COROLLA WOULD NOT START. CONSUMER STATES THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. HE WAS TOLD THAT THE WIRES AT THE TRUNK HARNESS BROKE CAUSING THE BATTERY TO DRAIN. HE FEELS THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. *KB
MY COMPLAINT IS WITH MY 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA LE 1.8L. I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW, AND SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT, THE AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR HAS BEEN DAMAGED BY ROCKS AND DESTROYED UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE, AND PAID FOR IT OUT OF MY OWN POCKET AND GOT IT REPAIRED BY A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ($1000 REPAIR). IT WAS REPAIRED ABOUT A YEAR AGO, AND IT STOPPED WORKING AGAIN LAST FALL. I HAVE PUT OFF GETTING IT REPAIRED AGAIN FOR FEAR THAT THE REPAIR WILL ONLY LAST ANOTHER 6MONTHS TO A YEAR. I HAVE HEARD THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, AND I BELIEVE IT IS A FAULTY DESIGN ON TOYOTA'S PART. *TR
CAR STALLED ON INTERSTATE - TRIED TO GET AS FAR TO RIGHT SIDE AS POSSIBLE. CALLED AND WAITED FOR A TOW TRUCK, WHICH TOOK ME TO A LOCAL AUTO REPAIR SHOP. AUTO REPAIR SHOP INFORMED ME THAT I NEEDED A FUEL PUMP REPLACEMENT, WHICH IS STRANGE, SINCE MY 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA IS JUST BARELY 3 AND 1/2 YEARS OLD. COME TO FIND OUT, WHEN THEY WENT TO ORDER THE PART, THEY SAID IT WOULD COST 3 TIMES THE NORMAL AMOUNT FOR A TOYOTA COROLLA FUEL PUMP BECAUSE MINE HAPPEN TO BE MADE IN A BATCH DURING A 3 MONTH PERIOD IN WHICH THEY NO LONGER MADE THAT SAME SORT OF FUEL PUMP. I HAVE ALWAYS KEPT UP WITH MY MAINTENANCE CHECKS, SO THIS FUEL PUMP REPLACEMENT SEEMS LIKE IT WAS BOUND TO HAPPEN NO MATTER HOW WELL I TOOK CARE OF MY CAR. IT'S ONLY 3 1/2 YEARS SINCE I ACQUIRED THIS COROLLA, AND I'M ALREADY REPLACING AN ITEM THAT COST ME OVER $1,500.00, WHICH IS A DAMAGE I HAD NO CONTROL OVER. I'M AFRAID THAT THIS PARTICULAR FUEL PUMP IS GOING TO BREAK AT SOME POINT AGAIN, SINCE IT SEEMS TO BE A PART THAT TOYOTA NO LONGER CONTINUED MANUFACTURING... *TR
THE A/C CONDENSER WAS REPLACED DUE TO TOYOTA'S ADMITTED DESIGN FLAW AS PER THEIR TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN AC002-06 TITLED LOWER GRILLE MESH PROTECTION COVER. WHICH INFORMS AN OWNER THAT THEIR A/C CONDENSER IS UNPROTECTED WHICH WILL COST THEM $590. HOWEVER, TOYOTA FAILED TO BACK THEIR PRODUCT UP BY REIMBURSING IT. THIS IS SAFETY HAZARD IN THE SOUTHWEST BECAUSE OF THE EXTREME HEAT AND IF SOMEONE WITH CHILDREN GOES TO TURN THEIR AIR CONDITIONING ON AND IT DOES NOT WORK THIS POSES HEALTH RISKS. *TR
I PURCHASED A 2005 4 DOOR TOYOTA COROLLA CE FROM A DEALER HERE IN PUERTO RICO. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW. I AM STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON THIS VEHICLE HAS I AM GOING INTO MY 4TH YEAR THIS YEAR OF MAKING PAYMENTS. THE DEALER SUGGESTED TRANSMISSION OIL CHANGE SERVICE EVERY 15,000 MILES. MY VEHICLE HAS ALREADY OVER 72,000 HIGHWAY MILES. SO FAR I HAVE DONE 3 TRANSMISSION OIL CHANGES MAINLY BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT CHEAP. LAST DECEMBER I NOTICED THAT THE CARS TRANSMISSION AT CERTAIN PERIODS WOULD NOT SHIFT WHILE IDLING AND THEN TAKING OFF. MY CAR HAS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE THINKING THAT IT WAS TIME FOR AN TRANSMISSION OIL CHANGE. LAST NIGHT AGAIN I NOTICED THAT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT. I PARKED THE VEHICLE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, SHIFT THE VEHICLE INTO PARK, AND THEN STARTED INTO DRIVE AGAIN. FOR SOME REASON THAT SEEMS TO WORK AND FROM THEN ON THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO WORK FINE. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE AND I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY COLLISIONS WITH THIS VEHICLE. I WAS ACTUALLY LOOKING FOR RECALLS ON THE NHTSA FOR THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE AND ALL I COULD FIND WAS A RECALL FOR THE FRONT HEAD LAMPS FROM ENCO. PLS REPLY *TR
SORRY IT IS NOT A SERIOUS PROBLEM. THE TENSIONER ASSEMBLY (16620-22013) WAS REPLACED BECAUSE I NOTICED A CHIRPING NOISE IN THE MOTOR AREA. THE BELT V-RIBBED (90080-91139-83 WAS REPLACED BECAUSE OF WEAR CAUSED BY TENSIONER FAILURE. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 1-65 MPH, THE BRAKES LOCK UP. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS RELEASED, IT FEELS AS IF THE BRAKE PEDAL IS BEING DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT HAS TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC ON FOUR OCCASIONS. HE ALSO STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT TIRE BEGAN SMOKING AND WAS VERY HOT. THE ROTORS WERE TURNED AND THEN REPLACED. THE MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE ONCE AND STATED THAT THE RUBBER BRAKE HOSE WAS DETERIORATED. THE RUBBER BRAKE HOSE WAS REPLACED, BUT THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 124,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,000. UPDATED 01/29/08 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE LEFT FRONT ROTOR AND PADS WERE REPLACED AGAIN. UPDATED
VEHICLE, WHEN AT HIGHER SPEEDS AND WITH LESS THAN HALF A TANK OF GAS, WILL SUDDENLY STOP ACCELERATING, WILL NOT RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDAL, AND MUST BE STOPPED AND PUT IN PARK BEFORE IT WILL RESUME. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT LOSE POWER OR STALL OUT, BUT IT WILL STOP RESPONDING TO GAS AND WILL CONTINUE TO DECELERATE. *TR
DRIVERS SEAT SHIFTS WHEN ACCELERATING AND APPLYING BRAKES - IT BEGAN WHEN THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 7,500 MILES ON IT. I'VE HAD THE SEAT ASSEMBLY REPLACED BY TOYOTA THREE TIMES. A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN WAS ISSUED IN 2007 AND IT WAS THEN REPLACED FOR THE FOURTH TIME. THE ISSUE STILL EXISTS AND TOYOTA TOLD ME THEY WON'T FIX IT ANYMORE. I AM A LOYAL TOYOTA OWNER BUT THIS JUST MIGHT CHANGE MY MIND. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT HAS DEVELOPED AN ANNOYING KNOCKING NOISE THAT OCCURS MOST OFTEN WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. DEALER WAS INFORMED AND WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE NOISE. DEALER REPLACED ENTIRE SEAT FRAME AND TRACKS BUT PROBLEM RECURRED MONTHS LATER. DEALER HAS REPLACED FRAME AND TRACKS AGAIN. BUT THIS TIME THERE IS EXCESSIVE FREE PLAY OCCURRING ALONG THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SEAT BECAUSE THE TRACK LATCH DOES NOT ENGAGE PROPERLY. MAJOR HEADACHE. *TR

I OWN A 05 COROLLA XRS. I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH METAL TEARING ISSUES. FIRST ONE WAS THE MUFFLER BRACKET TORE OFF AND SO MY MUFFLER WAS JUST HANGING THERE. I HAD THAT WELDED AT A MUFFLER SHOP AND IT HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR NOW. SECOND IS MY TRUNK LATCH, THIS IS THE PART THAT IS BOLTED TO THE BODY OF THE CAR THAT THE TRUNK LATCHES ONTO. THIS PIECE HAS COMPLETELY TORE OUT OF THE BODY, IT HAS BEEN REWELDED A FEW TIMES BUT IT CAN'T BE WELDED ANYMORE. I KEEP IT TIED CLOSED AND CAN'T USE MY TRUNK. NOW TODAY 9-26-2007 IS THE LAST DRAW, THE MUFFLER BRACKET HAS COMPLETELY BROKE IN HALF AND NOT WERE IT WAS WELDED. I FEEL THIS IS A VERY CHEAPLY MADE CAR AND WILL NEVER BUY A TOYOTA AGAIN. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED AND THE DEALER TELLS ME IT I OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY DON'T WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH IT, I KEEP GETTING TOLD TO SEE A BODY SHOP. I DON'T HAVE $1,000.00 TO REPLACE THE REAR PANEL OF MY CAR EVERY TIME THE TRUNK LATCH DECIDES TO TEAR OUT OF THE BODY BECAUSE THE METAL IS TO THIN. *TR
I WAS EXITING A RESTAURANT WAITING TO TURN RIGHT ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. WHILE SITTING THERE WITH THE CAR IN DRIVE AND MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STARTED RACING. THE CAR SUGRED FORWARD A COUPLE OF FEET BUT I PRESSED HARDER ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND STOPPED IT AGAIN. I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND TAPPED THE GAS PEDAL A COUPLE OF TIMES BUT THE ENGINE KEPT RACING VERY FAST. I FINALLY PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED THE KEY OFF. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR, IT SEEMED TO BE FINE EXCEPT THE IDLE SEEMED TO BE A LITTLE BIT FASTER THAN NORMAL. I TOOK THE CAR TO A TOYOTA DEALER THE NEXT DAY BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I WAS ASKED SEVERAL TIMES WHETHER MY FOOT COULD HAVE BEEN ON THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDALS AT THE SAME TIME BUT I AM ABSOLUTELY SURE THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. PLEASE REFERENCE ODI ID NUMBERS 10109072, 10173082, 10137143, 10125071, 10163070, 10200923, 10165337, 10166526 FOR SIMILAR COMPLAINTS RELATED TO 2005 AND 2006 COROLLAS. *TR UPDATED 01-16-08. *KB
I HAVE A 2005 COROLLA S. IT HAD A REALLY BAD VIBRATION IN THE DASH AND COULD NOT BE DETECTED. THE DEALER REMOVED THE DASH NUMEROUS TIMES OVER A 7 WEEK PERIOD. THE VIBRATION WAS FINALLY LOCATED IN THE PILLAR(IT WAS THE DRAIN PIPE FOR THE SUNROOF). THE DASH NOW HAS A VIBRATION THAT AT 70 MPH SOUNDS LIKE A LOUD WHISTLE- VERY ANNOYING. THE DEALER WILL NOT WORK ON IT BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL 36,000 MILE WARRANTY IS PAST. I BELIEVE THAT THE ROSEBURG OREGON DEALER SHOULD STAND BEHIND THE FACT THAT THEY REMOVED THE DASH ENOUGH TO CAUSE THIS VIBRATION. *JB
I WAS IN A ACIDENT LAST WEEK, SOMEONE TURNED LEFT IN FRONT OF ME. WE WERE GOING STRAIGHT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. OUR AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, A NUMBER OF PEOPLE (RESCURE PERSONAL, AUTO REPAIR SHOP) ALL MENTIONED THAT WERE SURPRISED THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. WE WERE GOING AROUND 15 TO 20 MPH, I AM NOT SURE IF THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS OR IF THE BAGS SHOULD HAVE GONE OFF OR IT THIS IS THE CORRECT PLACE TO REPORT IT. ALL I CAN SAY THANKS FOR SEAT BELTS, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN JUST MORE THAN JUST BRUSING. SINCERELY, *JB
(PROBLEM - CLUTCH) PURCHASED 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA XRS IN 08/04 (NO LONGER MADE). TAKEN IT REGULARLY TO HAVE IT SVC'D AT CHARLES BARKER TOYOTA LASKIN RD - VIRGINIA BEACH, VA. I'VE HAD TO TAKE IT BACK A FEW TIMES IN BTWN THE REGULAR SCHED SVC. APPROX 39,123 MILES. PURCHASED THE PLATINUM EXTENDED WARRANTY PLAN. 10NOV06 I PAID $281.27 FOR THE 30,000 MILES SVC, BECAUSE I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED IT. 11APR07 I PAID $252.90 FOR THE 35,000 MILES SVC, AGAIN BECAUSE I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT I NEEDED. I DO NOT DRIVE MY CAR IN A WAY THAT THE CLUTCH WOULD'VE BURNED OUT IN 3YRS. ONLINE (TOYOTAFINANCIAL.COM)/NEW VEHICLE PROTECTION PLAN COMPARISON/MANUAL TRANSMISSION- IT SHOWS EVERYTHING THAT IS COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. THERE ARE ITEMS LISTED FOR THE CLUTCH THAT IS COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. WHEN I CALLED ABOUT THE WARRANTY (PURCHASED THROUGH TOYOTA) THEY STATED THAT NOTHING WAS COVERED. WHICH I DON'T UNDERSTAND. BECAUSE THEY'RE STATING 2 DIFFERENT THINGS. IF THE PLATINUM COVERAGE ONLINE IS NOT CORRECT, THEN THAT'S FALSE ADVERTISEMENT. FIDELITY WARRANTY SERVICES, INC. P.O. BOX 8567 DEERFIELD BEACH, FLORIDA 33443 1-800-327-5172 CONTRACT NBR. 38848636. I DON'T EXPECT THEM TO COVER THE WHOLE AMOUNT THAT WAS QUOTED. BUT THE EITHER THE DEALER OR THE WARRANTY SHOULD HELP COVER SOME OF THE EXPENSE. THE MAINTENACE OF THE CAR HAS BEEN KEPT UP. THERE'S NO REASON WHY THE CLUTCH SHOULD'VE WENT OUT IN 3YRS. I WAS TOLD BY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP - ASST. SVC MGR TO CALL THE WARRANTY COMPANY. WHEN I CALLED THE WARRANTY COMPANY, I WAS TOLD THAT I WASN'T SUPPOSE TO BE CALLING THEM. SO I'M GETTING THE RUN AROUND & THE WHOLE AMOUNT IS GOING TO BE PUT ME REGARDLESS. WHICH IS UNFAIR. IT HAS NEVER BEEN HARD TO SHIFT INTO GEARS, BUT FOR THE PAST WEEKS WHEN YOU GO INTO 5TH & 6TH GEAR (THERE WAS NO GRIDING SOUND AS IF IT HAD PROBLEMS GOING INTO GEAR), THE CAR SEEM AS IF IT WAS UNABLE TO PICK UP SPEED & WHEN YOU PRESSED ON THE GAS THE MOTOR JUST SOUNDED LOUDER & THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL.

IN JUNE 2006 THE BRAKES ON THE 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA SUDDENLY FELT LOOSE, BUT THEY WORKED ,AND A MECHANIC FOUND NO PROBLEM. I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKES WERE DRAGGING AND REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT BEFORE I COULD GO IN FOR SERVICE THE BRAKES LOCKED IN DOWNTOWN MINNEAPOLIS DURING RUSH HOUR. I GOT MY CAR TO A NEARBY SERVICE STATION AND THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS AND OTHER WORN-OUT PARTS. THE CAR WAS FINE FOR A FEW WEEKS, I SUBMITTED THE BRAKE WORK UNDER MY WARRANTY, THEN THE BRAKES BEGAN DRAGGING AGAIN. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO MY DEALERSHIP, THEY FOUND NO PROBLEM, AND TOYOTA DENIED MY CLAIM UNDER THE THEORY THAT "BRAKES AREN'T COVERED." I THINK MY MASTER CYLINDER MALFUNTIONS WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS HIGH. TOYOTA HAS NO RESPONSE TO THE PROBLEM OF MY BRAKES DRAGGING AND LOCKING UP, OTHER THAN TO BLAME ME. *AK
TL*- THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING THE 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA WITH 19000 FAILURE MILEAGE AT 25 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN INTO A PARKING SPACE THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SLOW DOWN. THE VEHICLE SHOOK, AND THEN IT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE 3 TIMES, BUT HE VEHICLE DID NOT START. ON THE FOURTH ATTEMPT THE VEHICLE STARTED AND WAS DRIVEN INTO A PARKING SPACE. TOYOTA TOWED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. TOYOTA DETERMINED THAT THE EMC WAS DEFECTIVE, AND THEY OFFERED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED ON DECEMBER 17, 2006 AND HAD NOT EXPERIENCED THE LOCKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL SINCE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 19700.*AK
CUSTOMER STATES THAT THE CAR DOES NOT SLOW DOWN WHEN FOOT IS REMOVED FROM THE PEDAL**NAR**CC THE CONSUMER STATED IN ORDER TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN, THE BRAKES MUST BE APPLIED. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED THAT WAY. *JB
MY 2005 COROLLA MAKES A NOISE THAT SOUNDS LIKE AN ARMY HELICOPTER IS RIGHT ABOVE THE CAR WHEN THE RIGHT REAR WINDOW IS ROLLED DOWN. IF IT IS ON THE HIGHWAY THE SOUND BECOMES UNBEARABLE. THE SOUND WILL DISAPPEAR IF ANOTHER WINDOW IS OPENED AT LEAST 4-6 INCHES. *JB
I BOUGHT TOYOTA COROLLA LE 2005 IN MARCH 2005 AT THAT TIME I GOT 3 YEAR WARRANTY/36,000 MILES AND THE AUTOMOBILE HAS 36,800 MILES AND IT IS ALREADY OUT OF WARRANTY. ON SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 2007 AT 9:00 AM SOMETHING UNUSUAL HAPPENED TO MY CAR. I WOKE UP AROUND 8 :00 AM IN THE MORNING AND THEN I DECIDED TO BUY SOMETHING FROM THE MARKET FOR MY BREAKFAST AND WENT TO THE GARAGE AND LOOKING AT MY CAR I DISCOVERED THAT THE RIGHT SIDE WINDOW GLASS WAS BROKEN INTO THOUSANDS OF PIECES. FORTUNATELY MY FAMILY AND I WERE NOT INSIDE THE CAR AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT OTHERWISE WE WOULD HAVE BE HURT BY THOSE GLASS. NOW I AM SCARED OF TAKING MY SON AND WIFE INTO THE CAR BECAUSE THE OTHER GLASS MAY SHATTER AND HURT ME AN M Y FAMILY. DRIVING THIS VEHICLE IS PUTTING MY FAMILY AND ME IN DANGER OF BEING HARMED BY THE GLASS BECAUSE THE GLASS CAME WITH A DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER. I HAVE GONE TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN PERSON TO REPORT THIS INCIDENT AND THEY DO NOT WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE IT WITH A NEW GLASS. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER OF TOYOTA AND THEY DO NOT EVEN WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE IT. I THINK MOST OF THESE MODELS WINDOW GLASS COMES WITH A DEFECT SO I WOULD LIKE YOU TO TAKE A TEST IN THE LAB AND ASK THE MANUFACTURER TO REPLACE THE WINDOWS OF MY CAR. I AM REPORTING AND MAKING A COMPLAINT TO PROTECT THE CONSUMERS AND ME SO I WOULD LIKE YOU TO TAKE ANY ACTIONS AGAINST THIS MANUFACTURER. PLEASE THINK OF MY SON AND WIFE BECAUSE THIS IS THE ONLY VEHICLE THAT I HAVE TO TRANSPORT THEM TO DIFFERENT PLACES. RIGHT NOW I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THINKING THAT ANY TIME THIS WILL BREAK AND HURT ME. THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND I HOPE YOUR CONSIDERATION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *JB
WE BOUGHT A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA IN JULY OF 2004. WE HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY HAPPY WITH THE WAY THE CAR RUNS MECHANICALLY NEVER HAVING ANY ISSUES. OUR VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT 40,310 AND WE ARE EXPERIENCING A FAILURE WITH THE CHARCOAL CANISTER. IN ORDER TO PASS EMISSIONS FOR THE STATE OF NC WE HAVE TO REPLACE THIS PARTICULAR PART. SINCE OUR CAR IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER OUR BASIC 3 YEAR, 36,000 MILE WARRANTY WE ARE HAVING TO REPLACE THIS PART ON OUR OWN. THIS IS VERY DISCOURAGING SINCE OUR VEHICLE IS ONLY 4,000 MILES OVER OUR BASIC WARRANTY COVERAGE. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED WITH MANY OTHER TOYOTA COROLLA VEHICLES AROUND THE SAME MILEAGE. WE FEEL THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO BECAUSE IT SEEMS ODD THAT THE CHARCOAL CANISTER FAILS AROUND THIS MILE MARKER IN NUMEROUS VEHICLES. THIS IS A COMPONENT OF THE CAR THE CONTRIBUTES TO KEEPING OUR AIR CLEAN. TOYOTA IS FAILING TO PROVIDE A CAR THAT WILL DO SO. *NM
TL* - THE CONTACT HAS A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA WITH AN ODOMETER READING OF 45000 MILES AND HAD AIR BAG PROBLEMS. ON 9-9-06 THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS IN A CRASH, IT HAD BEEN RAINING AND SHE WAS DRIVING AT 55 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE HYDROPLANED, AND HIT A JERSEY WALL TWICE, BUT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. ALSO, THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON 12-15-06 SHE WAS DRIVING 55 MPH WHEN SHE HIT A DOG ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE,. THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED, BUT DID NOT INFLATE, AND THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE POLICE WERE AT BOTH CRASH SCENES AND TOOK REPORTS. ALSO, TOOK PICTURES. THERE WERE NO INJURIES A RESULT OF THE CRASH. *AK
HI, I SEE MY 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA FAILED IN THE GOVERNMENT CRASH COMPLIANCE TEST (FRONTAL CRASH, FMVSS208), AND PASSED AGAIN WITH A MY 2006 ONE. I GUESS THAT MEANS TOYOTA UPDATED A PART OR PARTS OF MY 2005 COROLLA, BUT I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA. *JB
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS THE VEHICLE MAINTAINED THE SAME SPEED WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE PROBLEM PERSISTED AT ANY SPEED THERE AFTER. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED PRIOR THE INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO OBSERVED NO ABNORMALITIES AFTER A DIAGNOSTIC CHECKUP AND ROAD TEST. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THERE WAS NOT A MECHANISM TO SLOW DOWNS THE SPEED AS THERE USED TO BE IN OLDER MODELS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP FOR A SECOND OPINION WHO DETERMINED THERE WAS A VALVE STUCK OPEN IN THE FUEL SYSTEM AND REPAIR IT. BUT THE PROBLEM WAS PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED WHO REFERRED THE CONTACT TO A DEALERSHIP. THE CONTACT EXPRESSED CONCERN BECAUSE THE ONLY WAY TO REDUCE THE SPEED WAS BY DEPRESSING HARD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO PREVENT A COLLISION. UPDATED 12/5/2006 - *NM
THE 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA HAS A DEFECTIVE TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM IN THAT WHENEVER THE VEHICLE'S AIR CONDITIONING ACTIVATES OR WHILE ON THE TWO DEFROST SETTINGS ARE ON, AT IDLE SPEEDS THE VEHICLE SURGES OR ACCELERATES FORWARD TO THE EXTENT IT OVERRIDES THE BRAKING ACTION AT A STOPPED POSITION. *NM
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED AS SOON AS THE DRIVER SEAT BELT WAS BUCKLED. THEN, WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH THE SIDE OF A DUMP TRUCK AND NEITHER FRONTAL AIR BAG DEPLOYED. HOWEVER THE LEFT SIDE IMPACT AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE VEHICLE WAS CONSIDERED A TOTAL LOSS AS A RESULT OF THE CRASH AND WAS TOWED TO A SALVAGE YARD. THE CONTACT WAS WEARING A SEAT BELT AT THAT TIME OF THE CRASH. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO NOTIFIED. UPDATED 09/19/06. *JB
AT 53,000 MILES, FUEL PUMP WENT OUT AT AN ABSURD PRICE OF $771.00 AFTER BEING STUCK ON THE ROAD I HAD TO CALL A TOW
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY IN A HEAD-ON COLLISION THAT OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH. THE OTHER VEHICLE IN THE ACCIDENT WAS IMMOBILE. THERE WAS PRE-IMPACT BRAKING BY THE CONTACT, THE SEAT BELT WAS WORN AND THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE CRASH. THE CONTACT SUFFERED A CONCUSSION TO THE HEAD.
MY COROLLA STALLED IN A FLOODED STREET THAT WAS VISIBLY PASSABLE FOR OTHER VEHICLES, BOTH SMALL AND LARGE. AS A RESULT OF THE EXPOSURE TO THE WATER, THE CAR EXPERIENCED A MAJOR ENGINE FAILURE. DURING A DISCUSSION WITH A REPRESENTATIVE AT THE DEALERSHIP, I LEARNED THAT THE AIR-IN-TAKE SYSTEM IS LOCATED RELATIVELY LOW TO THE GROUND "ON THE BUMPER." THIS SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW WHICH COULD LEAD TO THE CAR FAILING TO PERFORM DURING RELATIVELY MINOR FLOODING CONDITIONS. *JB
WARM ENGINE STARTING: I BOUGHT A NEW 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA LE FROM FUNKS TOYOTA, MANITOBA, CANADA. ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS A LOT OF CRANKING IS REQUIRED BEFORE THE CAR STARTS WHEN THE ENGINE IS WARM. A NUMBER OF OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS REPORTED ON VARIOUS FORUMS ON THE INTERNET. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE INCIDENTS. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS JUST NORMAL TO CRANK FOR LONGER PERIOD OCCASIONALLY. *NM
SOMETIMES MY CAR WILL NOT START THE FIRST OR SECOND TIME THAT I TURN THE KEY. ENGINE SOUNDS LIKE IT IS TRYING TO TURN OVER BUT DOES NOT START. I HAVEN'T EVER HAD AN INCIDENT WHERE THE CAR DOESN'T START AT ALL - SOMETIMES IT JUST TAKES A FEW TRIES. *JB
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE SHAKES WHEN STARTED. THE DEALERSHIP PERFORMED THE SERVICE BULLETIN, NHTSA ITEM #10017318, FOR EXTENDED CRANK CONDITION, BUT THE PROBLEM RETURNED. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER FOUR TIMES TO HAVE THE PROBLEM CORRECTED. UPDATED 02/24/06. *JB

ROCK ENTERED FRONT GRILL AREA AND PUNCTURED AC UNIT RELEASING ALL OF THE FREON INTO THE AIR. REPAIR COST $700 EVEN THOUGH VEHICLE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. FEEL LIKE MORE PROTECTION SHOULD BE IN THAT AREA. *JB
I WAS DRIVING (IN AREA WHERE APPARENTLY A LOT OF ACCIDENTS HAPPEN AT THIS PARTICULAR INTERSECTION) AND I CAME TO A STOP SIGN - COULD ONLY TURN RIGHT OR LEFT...LOOKED LEFT - SAW NO ONE, THEN LOOKED RIGHT - SAW A TRUCK WAY IN THE DISTANCE...SO I ACCELERATED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND BOOM! I WAS HIT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE (THE SIDE WHERE I SAW NO ONE) - NEVER SAW IT COMING, CAR WAS COMPLETELY TOTALED, AND MY LEFT CLAVICLE WAS BROKEN IN 5 PLACES. SIDE AIR BAG NEVER DEPLOYED, FRONT AIR BAG NEVER DEPLOYED AND NOT SURE IF I HIT MY HEAD...BUT I LOST CONSCIOUSNESS FOR A LITTLE WHILE. I DIDN'T THINK TO REPORT IT - NOR DID I REALIZE THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM, UNTIL NOW WHEN I'M RESEARCHING CARS AND SAW THAT SOMEONE ELSE HAD THIS SAME INCIDENT/PROBLEM. I WILL CALL TOYOTA AND REPORT IT ASAP. *JB
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY STALLED. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER 5 MINUTES FOLLOWING EVERY STALLING INCIDENT. ADDITIONALLY, THE ENGINE SOMETIMES REQUIRED SEVERAL ATTEMPTS BEFORE STARTING AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SITTING FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP, ALTHOUGH THAT DID NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM.
MY DAUGHTER DROVE A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA, SHE WAS IN A WRECK TODAY THAT TOTALED HER CAR, TAKING THE FRONT END OF HER CAR OFF, SHE WAS HIT BY A COMMERCIAL SIZE WRECKER THAT LOST CONTROL, HER AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. THEY SHOULD HAVE. TOYOTA HAS TO LOOK INTO WHY THE AIR BAGS DO NOT WORK ON THESE CARS. MY DAUGHTER BRANDY MCNAMEE IS GOING TO BE OK BUT HAD THE TRUCK HIT HER MORE TO HER SIDE INSTEAD OF THE PASSENGER SIDE SHE WOULD HAVE SUFFERED WITH NO AIR BAGS. THANK YOU BETTY. *NM

ON HOT AND HUMID DAYS, CONDENSATION BUILDS UP INSIDE THE VENTILATION SYSTEM. THIS CAUSES WATER TO POOL (AND REMAIN POOLED) IN THE VENTILATION SYSTEM. AS A RESULT SEVERE MILDEW GROWTH HAS OCCURRED IN VENTILATION SYSTEM. THIS MILDEW CREATES AND AWFUL SEWAGE SMELL, AND IS EXTREMELY IRRITATING TO MY ALLERGIES. DEALER SPRAYED LYSOL DISINFECTANT IN VENTILATION INTAKE. THE PROBLEM CAME BACK A WEEK LATER. TO THIS DAY, I CONTINUALLY MUST SPRAY LYSOL IN THE VENTILATION SYSTEM. MANY TYPES OF MILDEW CAN BE TOXIC TO ANY HUMAN (NOT JUST ALLERGY SUFFERERS), AND ARE *KNOWN* TO CAUSE CANCER, WHICH IS VERY CONCERNING TO ME. TOYOTA'S "OFFICIAL" SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM IS TO KEEP SPRAYING LYSOL IN THE VENTILATION SYSTEM, AND TO OPEN THE WINDOWS WHEN THE [SEWAGE] SMELL BECOMES UNBEARABLE. I PERSONALLY KNOW OTHER 2005 COROLLA OWNERS, AND THEIR COROLLA'S SUFFER FROM THE SAME PROBLEM. *****I CANNOT PROVIDE THE VIN AS I AM AWAY AT MY FIRST YEAR OF COLLEGE, WITHOUT MY CAR, AND DO NOT HAVE DATA MORE SPECIFIC THAN WHAT IS STATED. FEEL FREE TO E-MAIL ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. *JB
2005 TOYOTA COROLLA PASSENGER SENSOR IS OVERLY SENSITIVE. WHEN SEAT IS TOUCHED RINGERS GO OFF. *TS WHEN ANY OBJECT IS PLACED IN THE SEAT THE RINGER SOUNDS. WHENEVER A BACK SEAT PASSENGER TOUCHED THE PASSENGER SEAT THE RINGER WOULD SOUND. THE RINGER ALSO SOUNDED OCCASIONALLY FOR NO REASON AT ALL. THE CONSUMER SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE SENSOR WAS WORKING TO THE SPECIFICATIONS OF THE VEHICLE. *NM
2005 TOYOTA COROLLA HIT THE REAR END OF ANOTHER AUTOMOBILE ON THE FREEWAY. DRIVER WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 30-35 MPH. THERE WAS SEVERE DAMAGE TO FRONT END OF THE 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT INFLATE ON IMPACT. THE INSURANCE COMPANY DECLARED THE CAR TOTALED AND TOOK POSSESSION.

I WAS DRIVING BETWEEN 30 AND 35 MPH ON A BACK PAVED ROAD WHEN A BUCK RAN OUT IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE. I PUSHED MY BRAKES ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T STOP. I PUSHED THEM AGAIN AND THE CAR STILL WOULDN'T STOP. I ENDED UP HITTING A DITCH AND ROLLING MY CAR ON ITS SIDE. THE MECHANIC COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM WITH THE ABS. I HAD 2 GOODYEAR TIRES (THE CAR HAD LESS THAN 2500 MILES) THAT BLEW OUT. AIRBAGS DEFLATED UPON IMPACT. *JB
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
DT: THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS T-BONED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE AT 40 MPH. UPON IMPACT, THE SIDE IMPACT AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS HIT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED.

THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. UPON INSPECTION, THEY DID CONFIRM THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL. THE MECHANIC REMOVED THE FRONT WHEELS AND FOUND THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKE PADS DISCOLORED AND THE ROTORS WERE DEEPLY SCORED FROM THE HEAT. THE BRAKE BOOSTER PUSH ROD WERE FOUND PROTRUDING INTO THE BRAKE MASTER AND THE ISSUE WAS WITH THE CALIPER . ON OCT 21, 2005 THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE AGAIN. *JB

DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 75 MPH NOTICED LOUD SQUEALING NOISE COMING FROM MOONROOF, UNDER 75 MPH IF THERE ARE STRONG CROSS WINDS. ALSO, A RATTLE NOISE FROM THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP ONCE BACK IN TOWN AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE NOISE FROM THE MOONROOF SINCE THERE WERE NO WINDS OVER HERE AND HARD TO FIND INTERSTATES CLOSE BY WITH SPEED LIMIT OF 75 MPH. THEY DID DUPLICATE THE RATTLE ON THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AND PLACED FELT IN THE DOOR TO MAKE THE DOOR CONFORM BETTER. THEY ARE ALSO ORDERING A NEW SEAL BECAUSE THAT ONE IS DEFORMED IN TWO PLACES TOWARDS THE TOP. WE WILL SEE IF THAT WILL FIX IT. NOW THE MOONROOF IS RATTLING LOUDLY SO THEY WILL BE LOOKING AT THAT WHEN THEY REPLACE THE PART ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. SINCE MY DEALERSHIP OVER HERE CANNOT DUPLICATE THE NOISE, WE WILL BE TAKING IT TO GRAND JUNCTION DEALERSHIP WHERE WE ALWAYS HERE IT BECAUSE THE INTERSTATE HAS A SPEED LIMIT OF 75 MPH AND ALWAYS HAVE STRONG CROSS WINDS. I AM STILL HOPING THESE RATTLING NOISES AND VERY LOUD SQUEALING CAN BE FIXED. THE NOISES ARE VERY ANNOYING WHILE DRIVING. (NM

WARM ENGINE STARTING: I BOUGHT A NEW 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA LE FROM TOYOTA CENTRAL, LOS ANGELES, CA, USA. ON A NUMBER OF OCASSIONS WHEN THE ENGINE IS WARM, STARTING IT WOULD CAUSE A LOT OF CRANKING BEFORE IT STARTED. A NUMBER OF OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS REPORTED ON VARIOUS FORUMS ON THE INTERNET. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE INCIDENTS, AND THE LATEST INCIDENT DATE IS REPORTED IN THE "INCIDENT DATE" FIELD OF THIS FORM.
AS I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE, MY TOYOTA COROLLA (2005) SURGED FORWARD AND CAUSED ME TO HIT INTO THE FRONT BUMPER OF ANOTHER PARKED VEHICLE. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AT THE TIME OF THE SURGE. WITNESSES SAID THAT THEY SAW MY CAR SLOWLY ENTER THE PARKING SPOT THEN SUDDENLY SHOOT FORWARD. TWO WITNESSES SAID THE CAR MADE A STRANGE SOUND SIMILAR TO A MANUAL CAR SHIFING GEARS. MY CAR IS AN AUTOMATIC. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO SAID THAT THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO MY CAR BUT THE OTHER VEHICLE'S BUMPER HAD A SCRATCH.
(1) I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING AWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP I NOTICED AN ODD "HUMMING" NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE SERVICE PERSONNEL INFORMED ME THAT THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE PART WAS NOT IN STOCK, SO THEY ORDERED IT IMMEDIATELY. (2) WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE DAY BEFORE THE SERVICE APPOINTMENT THE CAR STALLED OUT ON ME! AFTER I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START! I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. (3) THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED.*AK
MY SON WAS DRIVING A NEW (6 MONTHS OLD, WITH LESS THAN 400 MILES) 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA, WHEN HE WAS STRUCK ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FENDER & WHEEL. WHILE THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED, THE SIDE AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY- RESULTING IN A FRACTURED LEFT CLAVICLE. HE WAS WEARING HIS SEATBELT. *AK
THE BRAKES FAILED, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO A WALL WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK IN A GARAGE. ALSO, POWER STEERING DID NOT WORK DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER, MAKING THE ABILITY TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DIFFICULT. MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BY CONSUMER.*AK PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT, THE BRAKES LOCKED UP AND SKIDDED IN DRY ROAD CONDITIONS. VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP VEHICLE. WHEN THE POWER STEERING FAILED THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. DEALER FOUND NOTHING WRONG AND NO ADJUSTMENTS WERE MADE. AFTER VEHICLE CAME BACK FROM DEALER'S INSPECTION THERE WAS A GRINDING/SCRETCHING NOISE. CONSUMER HAD TO TAKE VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER AND FOUND THAT THE BACKING PLATE BEHIND THE ROTORS WAS BENT. BACKING PLATE WAS BEND BACK INTO PLACE. CONSUMER FELT GRINDING NOISE WAS NOT A RESULT OF ACCIDENT AND/OR DAMAGES OCCURED TO VEHICLE. *TT
THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE SMELLED OF SULFUR, THAT WAS SICKENING TO THE CONSUMER. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE SULFUR CONTENT WAS COMMON IN THESE VEHICLES, HOWEVER, THE STATE LAW DIFFERS. *JB
1. NOISE FROM THE FRONT DISH PANEL/INSTRUMENT PANEL. THIS NOISE IS NOT ALWAYS HAPPENING BUT IS EASY TO DUPLICATE. THE DEALER REJECTS TO REPAIR IT. TOYOTA REP SAID IT IS THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE VEHICLE (THE VIBRATION NOISE IS THE STANDARD OF TOYOTA???). 2. WINDOW VIBRATION ESPECIALLY WHEN THE WINDOW IS 3/4 DOWN. HAVE BEEN TO DEALER FOR 9 TIMES (3 TIMES FOR THE SAME SEAT NOISE PROBLEMS), THEY SAID "NOTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE.*AK
WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE, THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO A BUILDING. THE CONSUMER'S FOOT WAS RESTED FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. *SC THE CONSUMER AND PASSENGER WERE INJURED. *JB
RPM'S INCREASE WHEN MY FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE AND THE FORCE OF THE RPM INCREASE DECOMPRESSES THE BRAKE PEDAL AND MY FOOT SLIPS OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS BUT IT WORRIES ME THAT IT MAY. THIS HAPPENS ON A DAILY BASIS. I HEARD THIS MAY BE NORMAL BUT NOW READING THAT OTHER PEOPLE EXPERIENCED THIS, I PLAN TO GET IT CHECKED. ASIDE FROM THIS, THERE IS DASH BOARD RATTLING, SEAL ISSUE WITH WINDOWS BECAUSE THEY WHISTLE AND ALSO PAINT FLAKES OFF FROM A SMALL DING. *NM
PURCHASED 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA IN AUGUST 2004. THE CAR HAS HAD A CONSISTENT SMELL OF ROTTEN EGGS (SULFUR), ALMOST DAILY WITH IT WORSE WHEN THE CAR IDLES & AFTER CAR SHUTOFF. DEALER SAID TRY PREMIUM GAS, WHICH I DID AND NO EFFECT. DEALER SAID TOYOTA HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OR SUGGESTIONS ABOUT PROBLEM, ALTHOUGH I AM AWARE OF A 5/28/04 SERVICE BULLETIN FOR 2003-2004 COROLLA'S FOR THE EXACT PROBLEM. DEALER ALSO SAID IT COULD NOT BE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER BECAUSE THE DASHBOARD LIGHT WASN'T ON, YET TOYOTA JUST SETTLED A 2 MILLION LAW SUIT FOR THE DASH LIGHTS NOT COMING ON AND EMISSION DEFECTS WERE NOT BEING PICKED UP WITH REGULAR CODE TESTING. DEALER MENTIONED A NUMBER OF OTHER PERSONS BROUGHT THEIR CAR IN LATELY FOR SAME THING BUT SUGGESTED IT WAS RELATED TO OUR CURRENT COLD WEATHER. WHEN I MENTIONED THE PROBLEM WITH MY CAR HAS PERSISTED SINCE LATE AUGUST, A WEEK AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR, THE DEALER SUGGESTED THE SMELL WAS FROM BAD GAS & THE WIND PROBABLY BLEW IT INTO THE CAR. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THIS SMELL HAS BEEN A VERY SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM WITH COROLLA'S (& SOME OTHER CARS) AND A NUMBER OF 2005 OWNERS ON VARIOUS DISCUSSION BOARDS HAVE ALSO REPORTED IT.

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS, DRL PROBLEM. I AM OFTEN REQUIRED TO DRIVE WITH LIGHTS OFF ON PROPERTY AS AN ASTRONOMER AT NIGHTTIME.
