ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I'M NOT 100% SURE IF THE MASTER SWITCH WINDOW IS PART OF THE RECALL BUT MY MASTER SWITCH WAS SMOKING AND I FELT LIKE IF I CONTINUED DRIVING EARLIER IT FELT LIKE MY CAR WAS ON FIRE. I COULD'VE LOST CONTROL BECAUSE MY SWITCH WAS LITERALLY SMOKING NON STOP. I WAS AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT WHEN IT HAPPENED, LUCKILY I WAS ON THE FIRST LINE, I ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE WINDOW SWITCH WITH MY ELBOW AND IT STARTED TO SMOKE. I WASN'T FEELING SAFE SO I CALLED MY INSURANCE AND I ASKED FOR A TOW TRUCK TO BRING MY CAR TO S NEAREST TOYOTA DEALER, I KEPT ASKING TOYOTA DEALER IF THIS WAS PART OF THE RECALL BUT THEY CANNOT ANSWER ME. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING TOYOTA BECAUSE OF THIS. I MIGHT SWITCH MY CAR WITH SOME OTHER BRANDS OF I KEEP GETTING THIS KIND OF INCIDENT.

SEATS
ON 11/23/2011, I BOUGHT A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA AT STERLING MCCALL TOYOTA. UNFORTUNATELY, THE VEHICLE WAS INADEQUATE BECAUSE OF A HIDDEN DEFECT IN THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE DRIVERS FRONT SEAT. I AM DISAPPOINTED AND CONCERNED BECAUSE THE WAY THE SEAT WAS DESIGNED AND/ OR CONSTRUCTED PLACES A METAL BAR TO BE COMPRESSED AGAINST THE SPINAL COLUMN. THE LOCATION OF THIS METAL BAR LOWERS THE PROTECTION OF THE OCCUPANTS PHYSICAL SAFETY AND PLACES THE DRIVER AT A HIGHER RISK FOR LUMBAR VERTEBRAE INJURY.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TRAVELED APPROXIMATELY 80 MILES ROUND TRIP. PULLED INTO DRIVEWAY OF PASSENGER AND STOPPED. CAR WAS IDLING THEN SUDDENLY SURGED FORWARD. HAD TO STOMP ON BRAKE HARD, BUT STILL HIT GARAGE DOOR CAUSING DAMAGE. THIS WAS THE THIRD INCIDENT WITH MY CAR AND I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE IT.

THE CAR SOUNDED LIKE ALL THE BOLTS AND MOTOR WERE FALLING OUT BEFORE IT RIGHTED ITSELF. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY TURNED OFF WHILE I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN. I WAS ABLE TO START THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY IN NEUTRAL. THIS HAS OCCURRED 4 MORE TIMES IN SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES. HOWEVER, LAST NIGHT, WHILE TURNING THE CAR WHEEL TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT RAPIDLY TO AVOID AN OBJECT ON THE STREET, THE CAR LOST POWER. ALL THE WARNING AND CONTROL LIGHTS IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WERE TURNED ON FOR 3 TO 4 SECONDS BUT THE CAR STARTED ON ITS OWN. THAT IS, I DID NOT HAVE TO TURN THE IGNITION KEY ON AS IN PREVIOUS 4 OCCASIONS. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER FOR TOMORROW MORNING.

ENGINE
I PURCHASED A TOYOTA COROLLA IN 2010 AND IT APPARENTLY HAD A POTENTIAL CAM GEAR ISSUE. THEY HAD PUT OUT A TSB ALERT ON THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER THEY NEVER DISCLOSED TO ME THAT THIS ISSUE COULD ACCUR. I'VE TAKEN IT IN TO THEIR DEALERSHIP AND THE COST OF REPAIR IS $1150. IF THEY WOULD HAVE TOLD ME AT THE TIME OF THE PURCHASE THAT THE CAM GEAR COULD HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE I WOULDN'T HAVE PURCHASED IT. THEY FAILED TO DISCLOSE TO ME ANY POTENTIAL ISSUES AT THE TIME OF SALE. THIS PRACTICE IS FRAUDULENT AND HIGHLY UNETHICAL. I WOULD LIKE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED WITH ME AND IT BE CORRECTED FOR FUTURE PURSCHASES OF OTHERS.
