MY VEHICLE STALLED OUT ON ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND WAS ALMOST HIT AS A RESULT. AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS TO FIND THE CAUSE, THE FINAL ANSWER WAS THE FUEL PUMP, $2900 LATER. I JUST HEARD ABOUT THE RECALL AND TO MY SURPRISE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT LISTED FOR THE FUEL PUMP RECALL. TOYOTA SERVICE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP BUT I'M NOT SURE THEY DID IT CORRECTLY BECAUSE I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. I'VE OWNED 4 COROLLAS BUT THIS ONE I'VE HAD TO PUT THE MOST MONEY IN BECAUSE OF ISSUES I'VE NEVER HAD TO DEAL WITH PRIOR.
IT'S HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT TAKATA DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG HASN'T BEEN REPLACED BY THE DEALER. THE TOYOTA DEALER REPLACED PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. I DON'T THINK THEY HAVE REPLACED THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG WHICH COULD BE DANGEROUS IN A CRASH.
THE SUBJECT VEHICLES MAY BE EQUIPPED WITH AN ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (ECU) FROM A SPECIFIC SUPPLIER DESIGNED TO RECEIVE SIGNALS FROM CRASH SENSORS AND DEPLOY THE AIRBAGS AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONERS. THE ECU MAY NOT HAVE ADEQUATE PROTECTION AGAINST CERTAIN ELECTRICAL NOISE THAT CAN OCCUR IN CERTAIN CRASHES, SUCH AS SEVERE UNDERRIDE CRASHES. THIS CAN LEAD TO INCOMPLETE OR NONDEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS AND/OR SEAT BELT PRETENSIONERS.

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING SOUTH ON INTERSTATE 95 (MD) IN THE FAR LEFT LANE (FAST LANE) WHEN HER 2013 TOYOTA COROLLA WENT OUT OF CONTROL AND WENT INTO A 180 DEGREE CLOCKWISE SPIN ACROSS 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC INTO THE FAR RIGHT RIGHT LANE (SLOW LANE) AND WHEN SHE PUMPED HER BRAKES THE CAR WENT INTO A 180 DEGREE COUNTER CLOCKWISE SPIN BACK ACROSS 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC ALMOST GETTING HIT BY A JEEP BEFORE STOPPING ON THE LEFT SHOULDER FACING ONCOMING TRAFFIC. INCIDENT HAPPENED IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AT 9:20AM ON WET ROADS. YELLOW ABS LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WAS ON, BUT NOT THE RED BRAKE LIGHT. WAS TOLD BY TOYOTA THAT THE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY FAILED. IN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, I FOUND TOYOTA TO HAVE A HISTORY OF BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY PROBLEMS RESULTING IN WARRANTY EXTENSIONS, SERVICE CAMPAIGNS & RECALLS ON 2007-TO 2011 CAMRY'S ,2010 PRIUS, 2012 & 2013 TACOMA PICK UPS, TOYOTA RAV 4'S.

I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE UNDER WARRANTY AT AROUND 7000 MILES. BEFORE 36000 MILES I HAD TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES WITH COMPLAINTS OF BAD FRONT WHEEL BEARING. THEY GAVE ME THE RUN AND AROUND AND I ENDED UP REPLACING THE DEFECTIVE BEARING NOW 3 TIMES. NOW I AGAIN HAVE TO REPLACE THE BEARING ON THE BACK WHICH COMES NOW COMPLETE WITHOUT HAVING TO BE PRESSED IN. I HAVE HEARD FROM OTHERS THAT THIS CAR IS ANONYMOUS FOR THIS PART BEING DEFECTIVE WHICH I THINK IT'S UNFAIR FOR THE CONSUMER. THIS PART IS CLOSE TO OVER 200$. I WAS ALSO TOLD BY THE DEALER ON FIRST OCCURRENCE THAT IT WAS MY TIRES CAUSE THE VEHICLE WORE THEM UNEVENLY. THE CONSUMER IS NOT BEING INFORMED, PROTECTED AND SOLD BAD QUALITY PARTS ON VEHICLES AND THE PRODUCER IS NOT BEING HELD RESPONSIBLE.
WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A SHARP RIGHT TURN FROM A STATIONARY POSITION THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED IN PLACE FOR A FEW SECONDS AND FREED UP ONLY AFTER WRESTLING WITH IT SEVERAL SECONDS. ALSO, ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR SEEMS TO WEAVE LEFT OR RIGHT AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT. THIS CAR HAS THE ELECTRIC STEERING SYSTEM. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKING ALSO HAPPENED APPROX. ON 12/15/18
THERE'S A HIGH PITCHED METAL GRINDING NOISE THAT HAS BEEN COMING AND GOING ON IT'S OWN WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. THIS NOISE HAPPENS AT SLOW OR HIGH SPEEDS. MY BRAKE PADS STILL HAVE MEAT ON THEM AND THE ROTOR IS NOT WARPED AS WELL. I'VE EVEN CHECKED FOR BRAKE DUST WHICH I DON'T HAVE ANY SO I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S GOING ON. MY FRIEND'S 2012 COROLLA MAKES THE SAME METAL GRINDING NOISE WHEN BRAKING AND THERE HAS EVEN BEEN COMPLAINTS ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM AND SEE PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR OVER TWO YEARS AGO AND IT STILL HAS BEEN MAKING THE SAME NOISE SINCE THEN. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BECAUSE THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS ISSUE DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF A CAR..THE BRAKING SYSTEM! THANK YOU, NHTSA. *TR

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH TOYOTA OF HOLLYWOOD, FL AND HAVE LEFT MESSAGES FOR SERVICE ADVISORS WHO DO NOT RETURN CALLS. I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE TWO MONTHS AGO AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THE ONLY WAY TO GET AN APPOINTMENT IS WITH A SERVICE ADVISOR. DO I HAVE TO TAKE TIME OUT OF MY BUSY SCHEDULE TO DRIVE TO THE DEALER TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT?
THE REAR SEAT WAS ALWAYS TOUGH TO GET IT TO STAY LOCKED IN PLACE AFTER FOLDING THE SEAT DOWN. AT 70,000 MILES, ONE HALF OF THE 60/40 SEAT WOULD NOT STAY LOCKED IN POSITION, AFTER BEING FOLDED DOWN. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, THE WHOLE SEAT LOCKING MECHANISM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $300. FURTHERMORE, THE PART IS ON A 'NATIONAL BACKORDER', AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THIS PART WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR INSTALLATION. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A PART THAT SHOULD LAST WELL BEYOND THE USEFUL LIFE OF THE VEHICLE, AND IS A VERY ODD PART TO FAIL. THIS PART HAS BEEN TROUBLE FOR SOME TIME, AND FAILED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, BUT MEANS I CAN'T HAVE ANYONE IN THE AFFECTED PART OF THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, UNTIL THIS PART IS REPLACED.
TAKATA RECALL. STONE MOUNTAIN TOYOTA HAS BEEN EXTREMELY UNRESPONSIVE IN MY EFFORTS TO GET THE TAKATA RECALL ON MY VEHICLE ACCOMPLISHED. MY VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AT THIS DEALERSHIP AND THEY SEEM TO TRY TO DELAY OR IMPEDE THE PROCESS OF REPLACING THE AFFECTED PART. THEY CLAIM, FROM THE BEGINNING, THAT I MUST LEAVE MY VEHICLE WITH THEM OVERNIGHT TO GET THE WORK DONE. I KNOW THAT THE ACTUAL REPAIR TIME IS 10 MINUTES AND THAT THE DEALER HAS UP TO 1 1/2 HOURS TO DO THE WORK, ALSO, THE FACT THAT I MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE WORK TO BE DONE SO THAT THEY CAN SCHEDULE THE NECESSARY PERSONNEL TO COMPLETE THE WORK SHOULD BE ADEQUATE FOR THEM TO DO THE WORK NEEDED. MY APPOINTMENT WAS MARCH 26, 2018 AT 3:00 PM AND WHEN I ARRIVED THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE CAR HAD TO BE LEFT AT THE DEALERSHIP OVERNIGHT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE SINCE I NEED THE VEHICLE TO GO TO WORK. THEY MAKE NO EFFORT TO COMPLETE THE REPAIRS IN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME. THE ADDRESS FOR STONE MOUNTAIN TOYOTA IS 4400 US HIGHWAY 78, LILBURN, GA 30047 AND THEIR PHONE NUMBER IS 770-736-0030.
DIFFICULT TO STEER AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE PULLS TO THE LEFT AND IT'S TERRIFYING TRYING TO DRIVE EVEN SHORT DISTANCES ON THE HIGHWAY OR SURFACE STREETS WITH AN ELEVATED MPH VALUE. IF I DO NOT ACTIVELY KEEP MY STEERING WHEEL TURNING TOWARDS THE RIGHT, I WILL SURELY CRASH INTO A VEHICLE IN THE NEXT LANE. EXTREMELY UNSAFE!

CALLED TOYOTA TO SEE IF IT HAD ANY RECALLS LAST SPRING AND I WAS TOLD I WOULD RECEIVE ANY RECALL NOTICE...

I AM DISABLED FROM BACK INJURY PERMANENTLY AND NEED TO HAVE A SAFE CAR. PLEASE CONTACT ME AT [XXX] FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.. THERE HAS BEEN SO MUCH ABOUT TAKATA AIRBAGS AND INFLATORS - HOW CAN THEY HIDE INFORMATION AND GIVE OUT FALSE INFO WHEN QUESTIONED !!! FORTUNATELY NO INCIDENTS SO FAR !!! I WILL UPDATE MY COMPLAINT WHEN I CAN. WILL PUT IN TODAY'S DATE AS RECALL WAS ON CBS NEWS THIS EVENING 1/9/2018.

MY DAUGHTER HAS THE 2013 TOYOTA COROLLA AND SHE WAS IN A SERIOUS SITUATION. SHE WAS FOLLOWED BY 3 PEOPLE AND WHEN SHE STOPPED AND PARKED HER CAR THE DOORS AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCKED AND BEFORE SHE KNEW IT SOMEONE OPENED HER DOOR AND DRAGGED HER OUT OF THE CAR AND SHE WAS JUMPED ON BY 3 PEOPLE. BECAUSE HER DOORS AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCKED MY DAUGHTER WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED. IF THE DOORS DID NOT AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK WHEN YOU PUT THE CAR IN PARK SHE COULD HAVE BEEN SAFE. I HAVE TWO COROLLAS. ONE I DRIVE 2016 AND ONE MY DAUGHTER DRIVES 2013 AND THEY BOTH HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. I THINK THEIR SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. MY DAUGHTER COULD HAVE BEEN BEATEN TO DEATH BECAUSE HER DOORS AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCKED BUT SHE WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED. I WILL BE FILLING MORE COMPLAINTS UNTIL THIS IS RESOLVED.
TAKATA RECALL--CAR MAKE AND MODEL ARE LISTED ON RECALL LIST--LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER SAYS NO--BUT DON'T TRUST THAT STATEMENT. CHECKED WITH COLONIAL TOYOTA, INDIANA PA 15701--WAS REPEATEDLY TOLD NO.
THE BRAKE PEDAL IS POSITIONED SO THAT IT CAN CATCH THE SIDE OR SOLE OF THE DRIVER'S SHOE SO THAT THE BRAKES CANNOT BE ACTIVATED. IT CAN CAPTURE THE SHOE UNDER THE BRAKE PEDAL, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO ACTIVATE THE BRAKES. WHEN NEEDING BRAKES UNDER AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, THE SHOE CAN BE TRAPPED, AND CAN INVOLVED IN A COLLISION. THIS HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR, AND CAUSED MY MOTHER TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT, BECAUSE SHE COULD NOT GET HER FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS INJURED, AND ONLY 3 CARS WERE DAMAGED.

TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL. IT MAY SPRAY METAL DEBRIS TOWARD VEHICLE OCCUPANTS AND MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY
TAKATA RECALL NOTICE NOTHING HAPPENED
TOOK MY CAR IN FOR A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, SLIPPING OF THE TRANSMISSION. I WAS CALLED AND TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS FINE AND THAT THE NEW SV TRANSMISSIONS HANDLE DIFFERENTLY FROM THE OLDER TRANSMISSIONS, I SHOULDN'T BE WORRIED. THEN I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE FRONT AND REAR BRAKES AS THEY ARE BAD. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT I RUINED THE BRAKES BY DRIVING THE CAR HARD. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN MY THIRTY FOUR YEARS OF DRIVING THAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT I RUIN BRAKES. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IT HAD 14599 MILES. WHEN I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE IT HAD 24397. LESS THAN 10,000 MILES HAD BEEN DRIVEN ON THIS VEHICLE AND I AM BEING TOLD THAT I HAVE TO SPEND 600 DOLLARS ON A BRAKE JOB. I HAVE OWNED MANY CARS, DIFFERENT MAKES AND MODELS AND I HAVE NEVER EVER HAD TO REPLACE BRAKES, ROTORS, PADS, DRUMS, SHOES SO SOON. I BELIEVE THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS DEFECTIVE ROTORS, DRUMS AND SHOULD BE REPLACED AT MANUFACTURERS/DEALERS COST. I OWN A 2011 KIA SPORTAGE AND DROVE THAT FOR CLOSE TO 60,000 MILES BEFORE HAVING TO DO BRAKES. THE BRAKES HAVE A PULSATING, VIBRATING WHEN BRAKING ON HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND ON CITY ROADS. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS WELL. BRAKES ON A VEHICLE WITH SUCH LOW MILES SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE REPLACED SO SOON.
I WAS DRIVING TOYOTA COROLLA 2013 AND I WAS 65 M/P ON HIGHWAY AND THE TRANSMISSION FAILED (BROKEN) I HAD ONLY 39,000 MILES. I HAD TO MINION SOMETHING ABOUT THAT BECAUSE I ALMOST DIED,THE CAR IS UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS, I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP , THEY SAID YOU WARRENTY IS EXPIRED AND THEY COULD NOT FIXE THE CAR, LESS I RENEW MY WARRANTY ON 36000 MILLES FOR $1000 OR 90,000 MILES FOR $3000, SINCE I COULDN'T PAY FOR THAT I TOOK IT TO REGULAR SHOP AND I FIXE IT. AFTER I CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER TO OPEN A CLAIM, THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT HELP ME BECAUSE IT DID NOT SHOW ON RECORD THAT I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER SHIP, AND THEY DECIDED TO NOT REMBOURSE YOU FOR ANY MONEY I SPEND TO FIXE IT. THE FUNNY PART, THE DEALER SAID THEY GUARANTEE 36000 MILES AND TOYOTA SAID THE GUARANTEE IS FOR 60,000 MILES AND MY CAR WAS BROKEN AND I HAD ONLY 39000 MILES.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO PRODUCED AN ENGINE CODE OF P02198. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.
PURCHASED VEHICLE SEPTEMBER 2015 WITH 59,000 MILES. 8 MONTHS LATER THE MASTER CYLINDER MALFUNCTIONS. BRAKE PEDAL HAS TO BE PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND MAKES A WEIRD NOISE, LIKE A CREAKING NOISE. I TAKE IT TO BE REPAIRED. THEY BLEED THE BRAKES. TEMPORARY FIX. NOVEMBER 2016, SAME PROBLEM AND I TAKE IT TO BE REPAIRED AND MASTER CYLINDER IS REPLACED. 5 MONTHS LATER, SAME PROBLEM AND THE MASTER CYLINDER IS BEING REPLACED AGAIN FOR THE 2ND TIME.
I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT TURNING,LEFT AT A BIG INTERSECTION IN POOLER, GA THERE WAS A DOUBLE TURN LANE. I TALKED MY BRAKES AS OTHER CAR NEXT TO ME WAS IN MY LANE ON THE TURN. HE ADJUSTED AND I PRECEDED UP THE INCLINED ROAD TO WHERE CARS WERE STOPPED WAITING FOR THE LIGHT. I WAS HORRIFIED AS I REALIZED MY BRAKES WAS NOT STOPPING BY THE TIME MY BRAIN COMPUTED THEY WAS NOT WORKING,WHEN THEY JUST WORKED SECONDS EARLIER. NEXT THEN I HEARD A GUN SHOT NOISE FROM AIR BAGS EXPLODING AND WAS IN THE REAR END OF AN SUV. I RECALL MY BRAKES WAS REPLACED AT 37000 MILES PAD WERE THIN AND CONSTANT BRAKE DUST DAILY ON MY RIMS. I AM FORTUNATE MINOR INJURIES AND WAS GOING AT A LOW SPEED. THIS COULD OF BEEN A FATAL ACCIDENT IF ON THE FREEWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS. MY BRAKES FAILING CAUSES ME HIGH ANXIETY AND,FEAR WHEN DRIVING NOW. INSURANCE COMPANY DOES NOT INSPECT MY BRAKES ISSUE WHICH IS DISHEARTENING SINCE THIS WAS THE CAUSE OF MY ACCIDENT. I WAS GOING ABOUT 15 TO 20 AND BRAKING TO SLOW DOWN SO I THOUGHT THEN REALIZED MY CAR WAS NOT STOPPING.
I WAS DRIVING IN COLLEGE PARK AND THIS GIRL WAS DRIVING SO RECKLESS IT SEEMED LIKE SHE WAS TRYING TO RACE SOMEONE AND SHE KEPT SWERVING IN FRONT OF ME BUT SHE ALMOST HIT ME 5 TIMES I LITERALLY I HAD TO SWERVE MY CAR TO A CROSSING LANE IN THE MIDDLE SO MUCH I WAS GETTING SO PISSED SHE WAS DRIVING CRAZY AS [XXX] I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE [XXX] IS WRONG WITH BUT SHE SHOULDN'T BE DRIVING AND SHE'S ALSO A LYFT DRIVER AND I DON'T SHE'S FIT FOR THAT BC SHE'S CRAZY. SHE ALMOST HIT ME A COUPLE TIME IF I DIDN'T SWERVE WE WOULD'VE CRASHED. I HAD MY 2 YEAR OLD IN THE BACK SEAT AND I WAS SCARED FOR HIM. PLEASE GET THAT GIRL SOME HELP. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
TRUNK LATCH IS DEFECTIVE - RANDOMLY OPENS. HAD IT FIXED FOR $350. OPENS WHEN DRIVING AND WHEN PARKED. TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A RECALL WITH THE 2009 MODEL. HAPPENED TWICE ON 12/29/17 AND HAD IT FIXED ON 01/16/17.
TO BEGIN I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT WHEN I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 2014 THE BACK MIDDLE SEATBELT WAS ALREADY CUT. MY 12-YEAR-OLD SON WAS RIDING IN THE BACK SEAT PASSENGER SIDE. HE HAD HIS SEATBELT ON AND THEN HE STARTED COMPLAINING THAT IT WAS GETTING TIGHTER SO I PULLED OVER AND TRIED GETTING THE SEATBELT TO UNLOCK. IT WOULD NOT UNLOCK AND WAS GETTING TIGHTER. FINALLY I HAD TO GO INTO A GAS STATION AND BORROW A PAIR OF SCISSORS TO CUT THE SEATBELT SO MY SON COULD GET OUT
STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP WHILE DRIVING. UNABLE TO STEER VEHICLE WHILE CAR IN MOTION FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS WHILE MAKING A RIGHT AND LEFT HAND TURN. *TR
THERE ARE TIMES WHEN ACCELERATING GOING AROUND A CORNER OR EVEN STRAIGHT THERE'S A PAUSE AND THAT ACCELERATION FOR AT LEAST A GOOD TWENTY FEET BUT THERE'S NOTHING THEIR IN THE ACCELERATION COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT PERSON BACK DOESN'T REALIZE THERE'S NO ACCELERATION
PREOWNED 2013 TOYOTA COROLLA IN THIS CAR HAVE A CARFAX REPORT THAT SAYS IN 2 PREVIOUS ACCIDENTS THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYDED. AS ITS 3RD OWNER PURCHASED WITH 46958MILES I HAVE NOTICED THAT I THE VEHICLE BRAKES TO HARD. AND WHEN I STEP LIGHTLY ON THE BRAKE IT CONTINUES TO DRIVE TILL I STEP HARTER ON THE BRAKE. ITS HARDLY NOTICEABLE AND TO CATCH. 3RD ISHU IS THAT WHEN I US THE AC IT USES TOO MUCH FULE. ALSO WITH THE AC TURNED OFF IT IS STILL BLOWING OUT COOL AIR AT A LOW LEVEL THAT COULD BE SENSED BY PLACING YOUR HANDS BY THE AIR VENTS.
I HAD A WRECK AND I RAN INTO ANOTHER CAR GOING ABOUT 25 MPH AND MY AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I HIT SOMEONE FROM BEHIND, I THOUGHT I HIT THE BRAKE BUT IT DID NOT STOP AND ACTED LIKE I HAD THE ACCELERATOR ON. SO I AM ASKING ABOUT AIR BAG & BRAKE PROBLEMS
TAKATA RECALL THIS RECALL CAME OUT IN MAY, AND I CANNOT EVEN HAVE ANYONE SIT IN THE FRONT SEAT, AS THERE IS A RISK IF THERE IS A FRONT IMPACT THAT METAL SHARDS WILL GO INTO THE OCCUPANTS FACE FROM THE AIRBAG.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOOSE WHEN TURNED IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE CONTACT HAD TO GRIP THE STEERING WHEEL TIGHTLY TO MAINTAIN CONTROL. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE SEVERAL TIMES AND ONLY ADJUSTED THE STEERING WHEEL, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE AN ALIGNMENT WAS PERFORMED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000.
I HAD A VERY BAD ACCIDENT ON 8-11-2016 MY CAR IS TOTAL LOSS. MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY.
I WAS ALMOST CRUSHED BY MY CAR WHILE PERFORMING AN OIL CHANGE. I HAD THE CAR JACKED UP ON THE PASSENGER SIDE USING THE STOCK JACK. THIS WAS IN MY GARAGE ON LEVEL CONCRETE. I DRAINED THE OIL AND REPLACED THE OIL PAN PLUG WITH NO ISSUE. I WENT TO TO LOOSEN THE OIL FILTER CAP WITH THE SPECIALITY SOCKET COVER I ORDERED ONLINE. I MADE SURE TO SPRING OUT THE METAL CLIP THAT PREVENTS A LOSE CAP FROM COMING OFF. I WENT TO TORQUE THE CAP LOSE AND IT DID NOT BUDGE. KEEPING IN MIND WHEN TORQUING ONES FORCE IS GOING TO THE BACK OF THE CAR. I GAVE THE WRENCH ANOTHER GOOD PUSH AND THE NOTICED THE CAR WOBBLED. I PULLED OUT IMMEDIATELY AND IN THE NEXT 5 SECONDS THE JACK GAVE WAY. THE STOCK JACK LOOKS TO BE DESIGNED TO HANDLE SIDE TO MOTION BUT NOT THAT MUCH BACK TO FRONT. THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A WAY TO PRELOOSEN THE CAP BEFORE RAISING THE CAR EITHER. EITHER WAY PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. I COULD HAVE DIED TODAY AND WANT TO RAISE THIS AS AN ISSUE. THANK YOU. *TR
WHEN THE PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED BY AN ADULT AND THE CHARGING PORT IS USED, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEACTIVATES. EVEN THOUGH THE SEAT BELT IS FASTENED AND THE PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED, THE FASTEN SEAT BELT LIGHT COMES ON, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SHOWS OFF, AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASH COMES ON. I TOOK IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I PLUGGED IN A CHARGER FOR A CELL PHONE IN ORDER TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE SERVICE ADVISER SAW THE LIGHTS COME ON. THE SERVICE ADVISER CONTACTED TOYOTA ASSISTANCE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HAVE NO CURRENT FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT DEACTIVATES THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG ON THE VEHICLE. THEY MENTIONED THAT THEY HAVE APPROXIMATELY 20 COMPLAINTS FOR THIS ISSUE, YET THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE ONLY SOLUTION GIVEN AT THIS POINT IS TO NOT USE THE CHARGING PORTS WHILE THE PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED.
I RECENTLY PURCHASED MY CAR ON THE 4TH OF NOVEMBER 2015, FIRST EVERYTHING WAS FINE; BUT NOW WHEN I DRIVE, AT THE MOST RANDOM TIMES THE ALARM FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG GOES OFF (WHILE NO ONE IS SITTING THERE) AND ALSO IF SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SIDE, IT WILL READ "AIRBAG OFF".

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,608.
MY CAR WAS HACKED ALMOST KILLING ME. CYBER ATTACK 10/31/15 AS I WAS DRIVING THE BATTERY/ALTERNATOR KEPT DRAINING FORCING ME TO PULL OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD. A STRANGE GAS ALSO WAS PERIODICALLY SPRAYING OUT OF VENT FOGGING WINDOWS W/WHITE FILM MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE & BREATH. EACH TIME I PULLED OVER CAR RECHARGED ITSELF ON GRASS/DIRT. AT LEAST THE 8TH OR 9TH TIME THIS HAPPENED THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED TO RIGHT & W/IN 1-2 SECONDS I WENT FROM 45-50MPH-0 LIKE HITTING INVISIBLE BUILDING IN MIDDLE OF ROAD. PUSHED GAS PEDAL TO FLOOR, NOT ENOUGH SPEED TO PULL OFF ROAD. NO LIGHTS, POWER, ENGINE DIED. MY BODY WAS JARRED FORWARD ABRUPTLY. A RED LIGHT STARTED BLINKING & BEEPING AT BOTTOM OF CONSUL & GAS STARTED COMING OUT OF VENT AGAIN. I STRUGGLED TO GET OUT OF CAR FOR FEAR OF BEING HIT FROM BEHIND AS IT WAS PITCH BLACK OUT, ALSO WANTED TO GET CAT OUT CAR WHICH I LEFT IN FIELD BEFORE POLICE & AMBULANCE ARRIVED. I HAD BLOOD DOWN TO SOCKS. I WAS IN HOSPITAL 1 WEEK AND NO ACCIDENT REPORT WAS FILED, MY CAT IS STILL MISSING. I CALLED DEALERSHIP TO REPORT MECHANICAL/ELECTRICAL DEFECT & WAS AVOIDED/RESISTED FOR 3 1/2 WEEKS/OVER 30 HOURS ON THE PHONE BEFORE IT WAS SUGGESTED I CALL MANUFACTURER & ANOTHER 2 WEEKS BEFORE THEY COOPERATED & FILED CLAIM. THIS HAS BEEN A FULL TIME JOB TRYING TO GET SOMEONE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. I SELL REAL ESTATE & CANT WORK/EARN MONEY WITH NO CAR. 12/11/15 TOYOTA SENT INSPECTOR TO PLACE CAR WAS TOWED TO PULL INFO OFF DATA RECORDER. 2/1/15 I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED REPORT. I HAVE 3 YEAR ONE PAY LEASE EXPIRING 9/2016, NO MONEY & NO CAR. THIS HAS BEEN AN ABSURD, BRAIN DRAINING EXHAUSTING WASTE OF TIME W/NO END IN SITE. I'VE REACHED OUT TO FTC, CONSUMER PROTECTION, GOVENORS/SENATORS...I JUST WANTED THEM TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY, LOAN OR GIVE ME A CAR WHILE THEY INSPECT AND HAVE HAD ZERO RECOURSE TO DATE. THEY WANT TO SUE ME FOR COST OF CAR/IMPOUND/STORAGE FEES.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED RAPIDLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE REPAIRED, BUT NO FAILURES COULD BE FOUND. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.
DEC 27 2015 AROUND RENO NV. IT HAPPENED THREE TIMES THAT DAY. I WAS BREAKING GENTLY TO COME TO A STOP (BECAUSE OF A STOP SIGN). THE SHIFTER WAS IN "D". WHEN THE CAR SPEED DECREASED TO AROUND 10MPH, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD. I APPLIED MAXIMUM PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE CAR. THE CAR STOPPED, THE ENGINE WAS IDLING AFTER THE STOP. AFTER THE STOP, EVERYTHING WENT BACK TO NORMAL, TILL IT HAPPENED THE 2 OTHER TIMES THIS DAY (SAME SCENARIO). DEC 29 2015 IN SOUTH LAKE TAHOE CA. I WAS DRIVING AT AROUND 10MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC IN DOWNTOWN. SHIFTER WAS IN "D". THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED. I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP. AT THAT POINT THE ENGINE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED IN FULL FORCE. THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD. I APPLIED FULL FORCE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND AT THE SAME SHIFTED IN NEUTRAL. MY CAR STOPPED JUST A COUPLE INCHES OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. NOW IN NEUTRAL AND THE CAR HALTED, THE ENGINE IS REDLINING HITTING THE REV LIMITER AND STAYING THERE. I SHIFTED TO "PARK" AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. WAITED FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS. I STARTED THE ENGINE AND STAYED IN "PARK", IMMEDIATELY THE ENGINE REVVED UP TO RED LINE AND STAYED THERE. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND WAITED ABOUT 5 SECONDS. I STARTED THE ENGINE A SECOND TIME, SAME THING, ENGINE SHOOTS UP TO RED LINE AND STAY THERE. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND WAITED ABOUT 10 SECONDS. I STARTED THE ENGINE A THIRD TIME. THIS TIME, THE ENGINE STAYED AT IDLE AND I COULD GO NORMALLY. AT THE TIMES OF THE PROBLEM, THE TEMP. WAS AROUND -1 DEGREE CELSIUS. AFTER THE LAST OCCURRENCE, I STOPPED AND CHECKED IF ANYTHING WAS IN THE WAY OF THE GAS PEDAL. NOTHING WAS IN THE WAY. HAPPENS ONLY AT LOW SPEED, WHEN YOU TRY TO STOP THE CAR. THIS LAST OCCURRENCE DECIDED ME TO WRITE TO YOU BECAUSE THE CAR PUT ME IN AN UNSAFE SITUATION AND WE VERY LITTLE TIME TO REACT. *JS
WHEN WE GO TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH IT WON'T TURN COMPLETELY TO ALLOW REMOVAL AT TIMES AND YOU HAVE TO START THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES TO MOVE IT AND IT CAN AFFECT THE SHIFTING OF THE TRANSMISSION OUT OF PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME. THIS OF COURSE CAN BE A SAFETY PROBLEM.
I LEASED MY CAR IN JUNE 2013 AND ABOUT A YEAR AND HALF LATER THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT MY BRAKES ARE GETTING LOW. I WAS CONFUSED I THOUGHT BRAKES LASTED A LEAST THREE YEARS BRAND NEW OUT THE DEALERSHIP. HE SAID NO IT DEPENDS HOW I DRIVE AND HOW MANY TIMES I STOP. SO I SAID REALLY YOU HAVE CARS COMING IN A YEAR AND HALF LATER THAT HAVE LOW BRAKES ALREADY IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU GUYS PUT IN CHEAP BRAKES. HE SAID NO THAT THEIR BRAKES ARE TOP QUALITY BRAKES. SO I SAID OK BUT I WILL WAIT SIX MONTHS. SO HERE WE ARE NOW 2 YEARS INTO MY LEASE AND ABOUT 19500 MILES INTO MY CAR THEY SAID I NEEDED BRAKES. I CALLED PEP BOYS, MIDAS, AND OTHER SHOPS THEY SAID MY BRAKES SHOULDN'T DIE THAT FAST. I SAID I THOUGHT SO TOO BUT THE TOYOTA INSIST THAT THEIR BRAKES ARE EXCELLENT AND THAT IT IS NORMAL FOR BRAKES TO DIE AT ABOUT 2 YEARS IN.
2013 TOYOTA COROLLA WANDERS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE MOVING STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD. SCARRY TO DRIVE ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY NEXT TO A RIG DUE TO SWAYING AND INSTABILITY .CORRECTION IN THE STEERING WHEEL RESULTS IN THE VEHICLE DRIFTING INTO THE ADJACENT LANES. THIS STEERING ISSUE MAKES THE CAR UNSAFE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE ALIGNMENT ON THE VEHICLE WAS CHECKED AND IS ALL WITHIN TOLERANCES. THE TIRES ARE BRAND NEW AND PROPERLY INFLATED
WHEN I AM DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE RADIO/NAVIGATION SYSTEM TURNS OFF WITHOUT WARNING AND RESTARTS IN ABOUT 10 SECONDS. THIS HAPPENS A COUPLE OF TIMES A DAY. THE RADIO/NAVIGATION ALSO FREEZES AND YOU HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON TO UNFREEZE IT. IT DOES THIS ON ALL TYPE OF ROADS, SMOOTH OR ROUGH, STRAIGHT OR CURVED. TOOK CAR TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY SAY ITS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THEY ARE WAITING FOR A FIX FROM TOYOTA USA. AFTER THE THIRD COMPLAINT THEY SAID THEY REPLACED THE HEAD UNIT AND IN A WEEK THE PROBLEM RETURNED. I SUSPECT ITS A PROBLEM IN THE WIRING HARNESS.

ON JULY 3, 2015 WHEN AT FIRST MY CAR WOULDN'T START, I ASKED SOMEONE TO LOOK AT MY CAR AND IT WAS NOTICED THAT MY BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WAS VERY LOW JUST TO THE POINT OF EMPTY. I WAS VERY CONCERN BECAUSE AT NO POINT PRIOR TO THIS DISCOVERY, THE "BRAKE" WARNING LIGHT DID NOT FLASH OR APPEAR ON TO INFORM ME TO THIS ISSUE! I CALLED AUTO DEALER AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR ROUTINE OIL/MAINTENANCE SERVICE AND REQUESTED THAT THIS MATTER BE RESEARCHED AS TO WHY NO "BRAKE" WARNING LIGHT WORKED; TO ALSO FLUSH THE BRAKE SYSTEM TO CHECK FOR AIR IN THE HOSE ETC...; HOWEVER VERY DISAPPOINTMENT WITH AUTO SERVICE REPLY: I WAS BASICALLY TOLD THAT THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WAS NOT LOW ENOUGH FOR THE "BRAKE" WARNING LIGHT TO ACTIVATED; HOWEVER WHEN THE CAR EVENTUALLY STARTED; THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS VERY NOISY AND ONCE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL FILLED, THE NOISE STOPPED. I BELIEVE THAT DUE TO THE "BRAKE" WARNING LIGHT NOT BEING ACTIVATED WAS A GREAT SAFETY RISK TO MYSELF AS WELL AS OTHERS.

CAR DOES NOT ENGAGE IN GEAR WHEN FIRST STARTED AND PLACED IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. IT REMAINS IN NEUTRAL (EVEN THOUGH THE SHIFT LEVER IS IN DRIVE OR REVERSE POSITION), THEN GRADUALLY SLIDES INTO GEAR. THIS IS DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO MERGE WITH TRAFFIC FROM CURBSIDE, PARKED POSITION. THE CAR DOES NOT GO WHEN ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED. IT IS HARD TO TIME WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WILL ENGAGE AND THE CAR WILL GO. YOU MIGHT GET LUCKY AND ENTER THE STREAM OF TRAFFIC SAFELY OR GET HIT BECAUSE THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE AS EXPECTED.

ON WEDNESDAY, JULY 30, 2014 I WAS DRIVING ON I-5 SOUTH BOUND, JUST BEFORE CANNON ROAD EXIT. TRAFFIC WAS GOING AT 35-40 MPH, HOWEVER, AT TIMES COMING TO COMPLETE STOPS. TRAFFIC WAS VERY SLOW AHEAD SO I BRAKE AND CAME NEAR A COMPLETE STOP. I LOOKED IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR AND NOTICED THE CAR BEHIND ME APPROACHING AT A VERY HIGH SPEED, I WAS CONSTRAINED ON BOTH SIDES AND UNABLE TO MOVE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR REAR-ENDED ME AT A HIGH SPEED AND WITHIN SECONDS PUSHED ME AT A HIGH SPEED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, I DID BRACE FOR THE IMPACT BUT THE SEATBELT NEVER TENSIONED OR LOCKED AND NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED IN MY VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH MY FRONT END WAS IMPACTED SEVERELY. I PUT MY ARMS UP AND TWISTED MY BODY TO THE LEFT IN ORDER TO PROTECT MYSELF. I USED MY OWN BODY AS A PROTECTION. I AM CURRENTLY BEING TREATED FOR WHIPLASH AND SHOULDER PAIN DUE TO NO ACTIVE OR PASSIVE SYSTEM IN THE CAR BEING DEPLOYED. I CONSIDER THIS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND WANT TO ENSURE IT IS ADDRESSED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO PREVENT OTHERS FROM HAVING TO GO THROUGH AN ACCIDENT WITH NO ACTIVE OR PASSIVE RESTRAINTS WORKING. *TR..UPDATED 12/09/15 *BF UPDATED 08/28/2017*CT

TOYOTA COROLLA WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD AT APPROX. 30 TO 35 MILES PER HOUR, WHEN ANOTHER OLDER SMALL CAR CAME THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AND HIT THE COROLLA ON THE DRIVER SIDE, SMASHING IN THE DOORS AND CAUSING THE COROLLA TO SPIN AROUND THE INTERSECTION AND FACE THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. SIDE DOORS AND QUARTER PANELS WERE DAMAGED AS WELL AS WHEELS, PLUS REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY WAS BROKEN CAUSING THE REAR PASSENGER WHEEL TO BE BENT AT AN ANGLE. THE CAR WAS NOT ABLE TO BE DRIVEN FROM THE SCENE. AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT NO AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED. THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BY AMBULANCE TO THE HOSPITAL FOR INJURIES. MOST INJURIES TO THE HEAD, NECK, ARM, SIDE AND LEGS HEALED AFTER THREE WEEKS, ACCEPT FOR A SHOULD INJURY CAUSING DIFFICULTY IN ROTATING ARM. FURTHER MRIS AND OR SURGERY MAY BE NEEDED IF INJURY AND INFLAMMATION DOES NOT HEAL. CONCERN IS THAT AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, AND THAT NOW WITH NEW SENSORS BEING ADDED DURING THE $10,000 REPAIR JOB, CONCERN IS THAT THE AIRBAGS THEMSELVES WERE DEFECTIVE. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN AND THE VEHICLE WOULD VEER LEFT AND RIGHT.

IN THE PAST YEAR THIS CAR HAS EXHIBITED MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES (52 DOCUMENTED) OF DELAYED ACCELERATION FROM 1 TO 3 SECONDS WHEN PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. I HAVE TRIED TO GET TOYOTA TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND REPAIR THE PROBLEM UNSUCCESSFULLY AS THE CAR HAS BEEN COVERED UNDER ORIGINAL WARRANTY THROUGHOUT THIS TIME. MULTIPLE DRIVERS HAVE ATTESTED TO THE DEFECT. IN NCDS ARBITRATION TOYOTA CLAIMED PAUSES WERE DUE TO THE "TRACTION CONTROL" OR "ELECTRONIC VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL" KICKING IN AND REDUCING POWER TO THE WHEELS. THIS COULDN'T BE THE CASE AS IN NONE OF THE INCIDENTS DID THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS WHICH COME ON WHEN THOSE FEATURES ACTIVATE LIGHT UP. MOST OF THE INCIDENTS OCCURRED ON DRY, ASPHALT, AND STRAIGHT ROADS AND NON-HURRIED DRIVING. THIS PROBLEM IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY AND RANDOM WITHOUT WARNING. *TR

AFTER MAKING A RIGHT COMING OFF INTERSTATE 95, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND WOULD NOT STRAIGHTEN UP. IT CAUSED THE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE CAR; THE CAR THEN WENT OVER THE MEDIAN WHICH CAUSED IT TO BLOW OUT THE TIRE, DESTROY THE RIM AND DAMAGE THE AXLE, AT MINIMUM. *TR
THERE IS A CASE WHERE MY TOYOTA COROLLA 2013 HAS AN INACCURATE READING OF ITS FUEL RANGE. BELOW YOU CAN FIND AN INSTANCE OF THE SEQUENCE FOR REPRODUCING THE GLITCH. STEP 1: COROLLA FUEL GAUGE WAS SHOWING A LITTLE MORE THAN 1/4 OF THE FUEL TANK CAPACITY. I FILLED UP THE TANK, AFTER THAT, THE FUEL RANGE WAS SHOWING 294 MILES,IT WAS WORKING PROPERLY, AND THE AVERAGE FUEL CONSUMPTION WAS 26.9 MILES/GALLON. STEP 2: TRAVEL ABOUT 30 MILES WITH THE CAR. FUEL RANGE WAS SHOWING 265 MILES. STEP 3: FILL UP THE TANK AGAIN. STEP 4: TRAVEL WITH THE CAR 1 MILE. THE FUEL RANGE SHOWED 264 MILES. IT HAS NOT RESET THE FUEL RANGE YET. STEP 5: TRAVEL 50 MILES MORE. THE FUEL RANGE HAS NOT RESET ACCORDING THE FUEL GAUGE YET. THE FUEL RANGE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THEN, GO TO STEP 1, THE FUEL RANGE RESET ACCORDING TO THE FUEL GAUGE AFTER TRAVEL A FEW METERS. I HAVE REPEATED THIS SEQUENCE OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND I HAVE HAD THE SAME RESULT. IT MEANS, AS YOU FOLLOW THE SEQUENCE, THE FUEL RANGE HAS AN INACCURATE READING.I FOUND THIS GLITCH WHEN I FILLED UP THE TANK BEFORE TANKING A TRIP OUT OF MY CITY AND THE TANK WAS ALMOST FULL. *JS

SPEED CONTROL DISENGAGES AND DECELERATES RAPIDLY WITHOUT WARNING ON HIGHWAY UPGRADES AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH. THIS MODEL IS A MANUAL 5 SPEED. WHEN THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED, THEIR SERVICE MANAGER RESPONDED THAT THEY HAD RECEIVED SEVERAL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THIS MODEL, BUT THAT TOYOTA HAD NOT PROVIDED ANY UPDATED PROGRAM TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AT THIS TIME. THE DECELERATION IS NOT A SLOWING BASED ON WEIGHT, BUT A TOTAL DISENGAGEMENT OF THE CONTROL, WHICH IS LIKELY TO RESULT IN A REAR-END COLLISION FROM BEHIND SHOULD ANY VEHICLE, REGARDLESS OF SIZE, BE FOLLOWING AT EVEN A RECOMMENDED DISTANCE. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THIS VEHICLE ON 4 OCCASIONS, AND FROM WHAT THE DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGED IS A CHRONIC PROBLEM, INHERENT TO THE 2013 TOYOTA COROLLA AND OTHER MODELS THAT SHARE THE SAME PROGRAM. *JS

I LEASED MY COROLLA ON 3/2013. I NOTICED THAT I HAD TROUBLE STEERING THE CAR RIGHT AWAY, BUT JUST THOUGHT THAT IT WAS BECAUSE I WASN'T USED TO THE NEW ELECTRIC STEERING. ON THE FIRST 5000 MILE MAINTENANCE I ASKED THE ADVISER TO HAVE THE ALIGNMENT AND TIRES CHECKED. THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. 10,000 MILE MAINTENANCE I REQUESTED THE SAME BECAUSE THE CAR IS A CHORE TO CONTROL ON THE FREEWAY. THE CAR WANDERS ALL OVER THE ROAD, SOMETIMES TO THE LEFT, AND THEN TO THE RIGHT. IT'S NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP THE STRAIGHT ON THE ROAD. THEY SAID THEY CHECKED EVERYTHING, AND THE CAR PERFORMS THE SAME AS ALL THE OTHER COROLLA'S. I CALLED BACK THE NEXT WEEK AND THEY THEY'LL HAVE TO BEGIN CHARGING ME NOW, BECAUSE THE WARRANTY WILL NOT ALLOW FOR ANOTHER ALIGNMENT. I'VE BEEN DRIVING FOR OVER 30 YEARS. I'VE NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT, AND I'VE ONLY BEEN ISSUED 1 TRAFFIC VIOLATION TICKET SINCE I OBTAINED MY LICENSE IN 1980. THIS CAR HAS CAUSED ME TO HAVE SEVERAL EXTREMELY CLOSE CALLS. THE 2013 TOYOTA COROLLA IS DANGEROUS. I DRIVE ABOUT 15 MILES EACH WAY TO WORK AND BACK. I'VE HAD TO RESORT TO TAKING SIDE STREETS TO AVOID THE FREEWAY. WE HAVE FAMILY IN OTHER STATES BUT WE CAN'T DRIVE THERE IN THE COROLLA BECAUSE THE COROLLA WILL PROBABLY CAUSE US TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT BEFORE WE REACH OUR DESTINATION. MY WIFE AND I HAVE ALWAYS BOUGHT TOYOTA'S, AND THIS IS MY FOURTH COROLLA. I BOUGHT MY FIRST COROLLA IN 1982, BUT I'VE BEGUN THE ARBITRATION PROCESS FOR THEM TO BUY BACK THIS PIECE OF JUNK. IF THAT DOESN'T WORK, I'LL USE THE LEMON LAW. SHAME ON YOU TOYOTA FOR DELIVERING SUCH A DANGEROUS AUTOMOBILE, AND THEN DOING NOTHING TO REMEDY THE SITUATION. *TR
WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROX. 60 MPH THE CAR WANDERS TO THE LEFT. I COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO DRIVE STRAIGHT. IT KEPT DRIFTING LEFT. I HELD THE STEERING WHEEL STRAIGHT ON CENTER AND THE CAR KEPT DRIFTING LEFT. I HAD TO HOLD TIGHT TO THE STEERING AND WHEN I FELT IT DRIFTING LEFT, I HAD TO CONSTANTLY CORRECT THE STEERING TO PREVENT FROM GOING INTO THE OTHER LANE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES FOR THE SAME DRIFTING / STEERING / WANDERING PROBLEM. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 2300 MILES ON IT AND STILL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. TOYOTA TELLS ME THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FULLY REPAIRED AND WORKING AS DESIGNED. I DON'T TRUST THIS VEHICLE AND I FEEL THAT THIS I AM NOT GOING TO WAIT FOR AN ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN. MY ONLY RECOURSE NOW IS THE LEMON LAW. I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW CAR AND I WANT IT TO DRIVE LIKE A BRAND NEW CAR. I DON'T THINK THAT IS TOO MUCH TO ASK. *TR
SINCE THE DAY WE LEASED 2013 TOYOTA COROLLA JULY 2013, THE CAR IS ALL OVER THE ROAD. CONSTANTLY HAVE TO CORRECT TO KEEP IN LANE, BUZZY, VIBRATION. VERY SCARY IN THE RAIN AND SNOW. CONSTANTLY TCB LOCKS FRONT RIGHT BRAKE AND PULL CAR TOWARDS THE DITCH. HAD TO BACK DOWN A HILL IN THE SNOW SEVERAL TIMES THAT WE HAVE DRIVEN OVER MANY YEARS. WHY WOULD YOU PUT 55 SERIES TIRE ON A SMALL CAR LIKE THIS UNLESS TO COVER UP STEERING ISSUES. WE HAVE 4 BLIZZACK NEW SNOW TIRES AND STILL SCARY TO DRIVE. NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OF OUR OTHER 16 PRIOR TOYOTA'S. COMPLAINED TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD ALL WITHIN SPECS, GET USED TO NEW TECHNOLOGY. SPOKE WITH TOYOTA FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE ON 02/27/2014 AGAIN TOLD THE SAME THING, THEY WOULD LOOK INTO IT, "NEVER HEARD" OF ANY STEERING ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. NO ANTI SWAY BAR ON ANY COROLLA NOW, BUT A $400 OPTION IF YOU WANT TO HAVE THEM UPGRADE IT! WE ORIGINALLY BOUGHT FOR COLLEGE BOUND TEENAGER, NOW SITS IN DRIVEWAY BECAUSE IT IS NOT SAFE. HELP PLEASE! *TR

IT DAMAGED THE FRONT BADLY. IF I HAVE PASSENGERS IN THE BACK, IT WILL HURT THEM BADLY OR SUDDEN DEATH BECAUSE OF THE BACK IS NOT STRONG WHICH CAUSE THE GLASSES TO BREAK AND BEND THE TRUNK AND SUN ROOF. THE AIR BAG DID NOT POP UP. IT IS NOT SAFE!! MY HEAD, NECK, BACK, SPINAL CORD WERE PAINFUL. THERE WERE NO DAMAGE ON THE FORD EXPLORER. TOYOTA WAS EASILY DAMAGE AND ROLLED/PUSHED TO THE FRONT CAR.

WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE SWAYS AND DRIFTS BY ITSELF TO THE RIGHT LANE OR SOMTIMES THE LEFT LANE WITHOUT MUCH DRIVER EFFORT. I FEEL THAT THE CAR IS BEING PUSHED OFF THE ROAD AS IM DRIVING.I HAVE NOTIFIED MY DEALER MILLENNIUM. TOYOTA IN HEMPSTEAD NY BUT THEY CANT SEEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THOUGH ON YOUR WEBSITE THAT THERE WERE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2013 TOYOTA COROLLA AND THIS PARTICULAR. PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM. TOYOTA 2 TIMES SAID THEY CANT FIND THE PROBLEM AND SAID THEY JUST ADJUSTED TIRE INFLATION TO 32 PSI.WHEN I BROUGHT VECHICLE THE FIRST DAY, IT HAD 50 PSI ON EACH TIRE AND THE DEALER ASKED ME IF THE TPMS LIGHT CAME ON AND I SAID NO. IM SURPRISED. THAT THE DEALER HAS NO INFO ON THIS STEERING PROBLEM. IM AFRAID FOR MY LIFE AND MY FAMILY THAT WE MAY DIE IN THIS CAR. THE DEALER IS COMPLETELY IGNORING THE PROBLEM. I EVEN SAW A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ONLINE REGARDING THIS ISSUE. HOW COME TOYOTA IS NOT ADVISING THERE CUSTOMERS OF THIS PROBLEM. WE THE CUSTOMER BUYS TOYOTS FOR RELIABILITY AND SAFETY AND I DONT KNOW IF I WILL EVER BE SAFE IN A TOYOTA COROLLA AGAIN.
FOR THREE WEEKS WE HAVE BEEN WONDERING WHY OUR NEW TOYOTA COROLLA IS STEAMING HOT INSIDE. SINCE WE USE IT SOLELY TO COMMUTE TO SCHOOL WHICH IS JUST 2 MILES AWAY, WE SOLVE THE PROBLEM BY WINDING DOWN THE WINDOWS. THE KIDS WERE COMPLAINING THAT THIS CAR IS EXCEPTIONALLY HOT AND WE THOUGHT IT ABSORBS AND RETAINS THE SUMMER HEAT DUE TO ITS DARKER COLOR. LAST WEEKEND, WE DECIDED TO DRIVE AN HOUR AWAY FROM HOME. BY THE TIME WE HEADED FOR HOME, IT WAS AFTERNOON AND THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED UNDER THE SUN FOR ABOUT FIVE HOURS. WE TURNED ON THE AC IN THE HOPE TO COOL IT DOWN. FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER, I FELT DIZZY AND DROWSY. I STRUGGLED TO KEEP MYSELF AWAKE. I WAS TERRIFIED TO FIND THAT THE AC IS NOT JUST FAILING TO COOL THE CAR DOWN, IT WAS EMITTING STEAMING HOT AIR. WE QUICKLY WIND DOWN THE WINDOWS TO LET THE SUMMER AIR IN, WHICH FELT MUCH COOLER IN COMPARISON. THE KIDS WERE VERY QUIET AND SCARED. AS SOON AS WE REACHED HOME, MY SON COMPLAINED THAT HIS EYES FELT VERY HOT. HIS WHOLE BODY FELT VERY HOT. HE FELT VERY TIRED AND SLEEPY. FIRST THING MONDAY MORNING, I SENT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER. THEY FOUND A LEAK AND HAD THE PARTS ORDERED. I HAVE TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME UNFIXED UNTIL THE PARTS ARRIVE. I AM NOW STILL DRIVING A NEW DEFECTIVE CAR WITHOUT AC. THREE DAYS LATER, MY SON IS STILL RUNNING A LOW GRADE FEVER AND I DARE NOT LET HIM SIT IN THE CAR WITH SUCH POOR VENTILATION UNDER THE HOT SUMMER SUN. I COME TO REALIZE THAT THE AC WAS BROKEN WHEN THE CAR WAS SOLD TO ME BRAND NEW. *TR

NEW 2013 COROLLA L. 1ST TIME DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. HAD TO CONSTANTLY CORRECT STEERING, FELT LIKE WIND BUFFETING THE CAR. ANY LIGHT TOUCH ON STEERING WHEEL CAUSED CAR TO SHIFT DIRECTION.

I BOUGHT MY 2013 COROLLA NEW SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES FROM HOME. DRIVING IT HOME, IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO NOTICE THAT IT WAS VERY TWITCHY OR DARTY WHEN TRYING TO KEEP IT GOING STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD. KEEPING THE CAR GOING STRAIGHT WAS A CONSTANT CHORE- MY PREVIOUS 2005 COROLLA WAS EXCELLENT IN THAT REGARD- NO PROBLEMS, JUST LIKE EVERY CAR OR TRUCK I'VE DRIVEN IN MY LIFE, GOING BACK TO LATE 1960'S DESIGNS TO MY 2005 COROLLA. THAT WEEK, I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER TO FIX WHAT I FIGURED WAS A MIS-ADJUSTED TOE ON THE FRONT. THEY SAID THAT EVERYTHING WAS WITHIN SPEC AND THAT IT DROVE JUST LIKE THE OTHER COROLLAS ON THE LOT. THROUGH SOME INTERNET SEARCHING, I LEARNED THAT MY PREVIOUS 2005 COROLLA HAD HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST STEERING AND THAT THIS NEW ONE HAD ELECTRIC POWER STEERING. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT TOYOTA WOULD RELEASE THIS DESIGN INTO PRODUCTION- MY TOYOTA LOYALTY HAS BEEN SHATTERED. WORSE, THERE IS A TSB TO FIX IT, BUT ONLY IF ONE OWNS A 2009 OR 2010. YET MY 2013 IS STILL PLAGUED WITH THIS ISSUE AS TOYOTA DIDN'T CHANGE ANYTHING IN PRODUCTION AS FAR AS I CAN TELL BY HOW MY 2013 DRIVES AND THE INFORMATION I HAVE COME ACROSS ON THE INTERNET. *TR
I BOUGHT A NEW TOYOTA COROLLA 2013 CAR ON NOVEMBER 14, 2012 FROM THE TOYOTA OF MANHATTAN DEALERSHIP LOCATED ON 645 11TH AVE NEW YORK NY 10036. IN A MONTH, I DISCOVERED THAT THE TOP SEGMENT OF THE REAR DEFOGGER IS NOT DEFOGGING THE REAR WINDOW. IT IS ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE TO USE A REAR VIEW MIRROR BECAUSE OF THAT WHEN THE REAR WINDOW IS FOGGED. IT IS BECAUSE THE REAR HEAD RESTS OBSTRUCT THE BOTTOM AND THE MIDDLE PARTS OF THE REAR WINDOW, AND THE ONLY PART OF THE REAR WINDOW WITHOUT THE OBSTRUCTION IS A TOP PART, WHICH IS NOT BEING CLEARED BY THE THREADS OF THE DEFOGGER. IT IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE THE CAR THAT HAS THIS FLAW. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A DISLOCATED SHOULDER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 13,000.
THE VEHICLE WANDERS ON THE ROAD VERY DANGEROUSLY AT SPEEDS ABOVE 40 MPH. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CAR THAT REQUIRES THE DRIVER TO PAY MORE ATTENTION TO KEEPING THE CAR CENTERED IN THE LANE LEAVING LESS TIME FOR HIM TO BE MONITORING THE TRAFFIC AROUND HIM. I HAVE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS FOUND MYSELF CROSSING OVER INTO THE OTHER LANE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. LUCKY FOR ME THERE HAS BEEN NO OTHER CAR DIRECTLY BESIDE ME WHEN THIS HAS OCCURRED; OTHERWISE, I SUSPECT I WOULD HAVE HIT THE OTHER CAR. I SEE THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN CONTINUOUSLY REPORTED SINCE 2009 AND WHEN I BOUGHT MY CAR LAST MONTH I WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE COMPLAINTS BY DEALER. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CAR THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION TO A THOROUGH REVIEW BY THE NHTSA. *TR
I JUST BOUGHT A 2013 TOYOTA COROLLA ON FRIDAY 4/12/13 AND NOTICED WHILE DRIVING OFF THE LOT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS COCKED TO THE LEFT A LITTLE AND IF STRAIGHTENED THE CAR WOULD VEER TO THE RIGHT. I FIGURED I WOULD TAKE IT IN NEXT WEEK TO GET FIXED BUT WASN'T TOO WORRIED ABOUT IT. THE NEXT NIGHT I WAS DRIVING FOR THE FIRST TIME ON THE FREEWAY AROUND 65-70 MPH AND FELT LIKE THE CAR WAS ALL OVER THE ROAD AND IT WAS VERY HARD TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT IN THE LANE. IT FELT LIKE IT WAS REALLY WINDY AND THE CAR WAS BEING PUSHED LEFT AND RIGHT EVEN IF I KEPT THE WHEEL STRAIGHT. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE SALES MANAGER AND TOLD HIM I WAS TAKING THE VEHICLE BACK THE NEXT DAY. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN AND THE SALES MANAGER TEST DROVE THE CAR WITH ME IN IT AND HE FELT THE SAME THING I FELT. THE CAR STAYED OVERNIGHT UNTIL SERVICE DEPT WAS OPEN FOR MONDAY. I CAME TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE THE NEXT DAY AND SAW THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS FIXED, BUT ONCE ON THE FREEWAY IT DID THE EXACT SAME THING SO I TOOK IT BACK IMMEDIATELY AND HAD THE SERVICE MANAGER TEST DRIVE THE VEHICLE, HE TOO FELT THE PROBLEM AND SAID TO BRING IT BACK WEDNESDAY BECAUSE A REP FROM TOYOTA WAS COMING AND HE'LL HAVE HIM TAKE A LOOK AT IT. THE REP CAME OUT AND SAID THE VEHICLE WAS PERFORMING AS STANDARD PER WIND AND ROAD CONDITIONS AND SINCE IT WAS DESIGNED TO BE A LIGHTWEIGHT VEHICLE THAT IT WOULD FEEL LIKE THAT. I TOLD THEM I DIDN'T FEEL SAFE IN THE VEHICLE AND I NO LONGER WANTED IT, THE GM SAID TO LEAVE IT ANOTHER DAY UNTIL THEY CAN RESOLVE THE ISSUE. WHEN I CAME IN THE NEXT AFTERNOON I DID A TEST DRIVE WITH THE GM AND THE CAR WAS PRETTY MUCH FIXED IT STILL HAD THE PROBLEM BUT WAS BARELY NOTICEABLE. THEY STATED ALL THEY DID WAS TAKE THE AIR IN THE TIRES DOWN FROM 35 PSI TO 32 PSI. THEY CLAIMED THAT IS ALL THEY DID! SO I TOLD THEM I AM SATISFIED FOR NOW BUT IF THE ISSUE RECURS I WILL BE TAKING IT BACK! *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT A STOP WITH THE BRAKES DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE WALL OF A PRIVATE RESIDENCE.

THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC FOR BODY REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,164. *TR
WHEN DRIVING AT 55+ MPH THE STEERING WANDERS. IT WILL PULL TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT BY ITSELF. VERY HARD TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT WITHIN MY LANE. I JUST BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW, SO I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER TO SEE IF THEY COULD FIX IT. THEY TOLD ME NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. I TOLD MY SALESMAN AND WE DECIDED TO DRIVE SOME OTHER VEHICLES TO SEE IF IT WAS JUST THE COROLLA OR NOT. I DROVE A CAMRY AND AVALON WITH NO PROBLEMS AT ALL, THE SALESMAN DROVE MY COROLLA AND WAS SHOCKED IMMEDIATELY AT HOW MUCH IT WANDERED AND HOW HARD IT WAS TO KEEP IN HIS LANE. SAME DAY, SAME ROAD CONDITIONS, SAME WIND. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINS ABOUT THIS NEW EPS (ELECTRIC-ASSIST POWER STEERING SYSTEM) ON THE COROLLAS SINCE 2009 TO CURRENT. STILL NO RESOLUTIONS THAT I HAVE FOUND. I TOLD THE MANAGER THAT IT WAS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE BUT HE WOULD NOT GIVE ME AN EVEN TRADE ON ANY VEHICLE, NOT EVEN A USED. IT IS ONLY 1 MONTH OLD AND HE WANTED TO DOCK ME $4000 DOLLARS OFF WHAT I PAID FOR IT! NEEDLESS TO SAY, THE TOYOTA DEALER DID NOT MAKE IT RIGHT. I GUESS I WILL TRY AND CHECK ON OUR STATE LEMON LAWS TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS HE NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL HAD BECOME LOOSE.

THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,200. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. *TR
I PARK MY CAR AT A BANK AND WHEN I RETURNED THERE WAS A HAIRLINE CRACK IN THE LOWER PORTION OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDSHIELD. *TR
I NOTICED A RATTLE SOUND AROUND STEERING WHEEL SO I TOOK COROLLA TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT. TECHNICIAN WAS ABLE TO FIND THE RATTLE. DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY WE'RE ADVISED TO REPLACE MY ENTIRE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN. THE RATTLE SOUND IS GONE BUT SINCE THEY REPLACED THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN THERE SEEMS TO BE OVER ROTATION OF THE STEERING WHEEL (MEANING I HAVE TO TURN THE WHEEL MORE THAN USUAL TO MAKE A RIGHT OR LEFT HAND TURN), STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT RETURN TO THE CENTER LIKE NORMAL AND MAKES A RUBBING SOUND WHEN I TURN LEFT OR RIGHT WHILE PARKED OR DRIVING AT VERY LOW SPEEDS 5-10 MPH. TECHNICIAN AND SERVICE ADVISOR STATED THEY FELT THE CAR DROVE FINE AND THAT THEY DID EVERYTHING THEY COULD TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. I WILL BE TAKING MY CAR TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT ONE MORE TIME TO SEE IF THEY CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT THE RUBBING NOISE IS AND WHY MY VEHICLE STEERING IS NOT AS IT SHOULD BE. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO PULL TO THE RIGHT.

A FOUR WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND A WHEEL BALANCE WERE PERFORMED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100.
