SEAT BELTS
I GOT IN MY CAR AND BUCKLED MY SEATBELT. I STARTED DRIVING AWAY WHEN I REALIZED IT WASN'T STAYING BUCKLED.I TRIED TO RE-BUCKLE. A SPRING FLEW OUT OF THE BUCKLE. I COULD NOT GET THE SEATBELT TO BUCKLE AFTER THAT.I HAD TO GO TO WORK, SO I BUCKLED THE SEATBELT INTO THE PASSENGER COUPLING AND WAS ABLE TO GET TO WORK. THE CAR WAS ENTIRELY IN MOTION DURING THIS SEQUENCE.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
SUNROOF SEAL IS LIFTED, NOT JUST ONLY IN MY CAR I HAD SEEN A LOT OF THE SAME CAR WITH THE SAME DEFECTIVE LIFTED SEAL AREA, SPECIFIC THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SEAL. SEAL RUSTED IN THE INSIDE. PREVENTING SOMETIMES A SCREECHING NOISE WHEN I OPEN THE SUNROOF CAUSING FRICTION TO THE METAL. IT WOULD CAUSE FIRE DUE TO FRICTION TO THE SURFACE OF THE METAL CAUSING POSSIBLE HAZARD TO THE MOTOR THAT OPERATES THE SUNROOF TOO.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THE VSC, TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH WILL NOT GO OFF. IT CONTINUOUSLY FLASHES AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTS ON AS WELL. I'VE DONE EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO GET IT TO GO OFF, INCLUDING HAVING A CERTIFIED MECHANIC CHECK IT, TO NO AVAIL. THEREFORE, I'M ASSUMING I HAVE NO REACTION CONTROL WHATSOEVER AS IT KEEPS FLASHING "TRACTION CONTROL OFF".

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE BEEN HAVING A DANGEROUS FUEL PUMP ISSUE FOR SOME TIME. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE THE SAME ISSUE THAT THEY HAVE A FUEL PUMP ISSUE FOR 2018 & 2019 TOYOTAS! I BELIEVE TOYOTA HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS FOR SOME TIME. MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA HAS BEEN BACKFIRING, STALLING OUT, & SHUTTING OFF WHEN I GET INTO HEAVY OR STANDSTILL TRAFFIC, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. IT STALLED OUT & SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF ROBBINS STREET (3 LANE 1 WAY STREET) NEAR THE TACONY PALMYRA BRIDGE DUE TO A BRIDGE OPENING THAT BACKED UP TRAFFIC FOR OVER 45 MINUTES 1 DAY ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK. WHEN THE BRIDGE FINALLY OPENED, I WAS ALMOST HIT SEVERAL TIMES. LUCKILY A MECHANIC CAME BY & HE WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN. I DID TAKE IT TO AAA SERVICE CENTER IN MT LAUREL NJ & THEY DID DIAGNOSED THAT IT IS A FUEL PUMP ISSUE THAT WILL COST $2,273.40. AGAIN I BELIEVE TOYOTA HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS FOR SOME TIME SIMILAR TO THE BRAKE RECALL THAT THEY HAD SOME TIME AGO. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. THIS ISSUE STILL CONTINUES...

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY 2010 TOYOTA KEPT STALLING OUT, MOSTLY WHEN IT WAS IN IDLE MODE. IF I WAS DRIVING A SLOWER SPEED, IT WOULD SOMETIMES LOSE POWER AND WHEN I PUSHED ON THE GAS PEDAL, THERE WAS NOTHING THERE...LIKE AIR. IT WOULD STALL OUT IF I WAS SITTING IN TRAFFIC OVER MINUTES. I HAD TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND KEEP MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL TO KEEP IT IDLED UP. INITIALLY I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE IGNITION COILS, WHICH I HAD REPLACED. THEN THE SPARK PLUGS WERE REPLACED. THEN THE AIR MASS SENSOR. AND MY BATTERY. ALSO THE REPAIR SHOP DID SOME ADJUSTMENT TO THE THROTTLE. NONE OFF THAT REPAIRED THE VEHICLE; IT WAS STILL STALLING OUT JUST OUT OF THE BLUE. THE LAST REPAIR SHOP SAID THEY ONLY SAW ONE CODE IN THE COMPUTER AND IT WAS GIVING THEM A READING WHERE THE FUEL PUMP HAD SOMETHING LIKE A "VAPOR LOCK" AND WAS NOT SENDING OUT FUEL LIKE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO. THIS CAR HAS BEEN STALLING OUT ON US SINCE APRIL 2019 AND HAS HAD REPLACEMENT PARTS THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. MY FUEL PUMP WAS FINALLY REPLACED ON FEBRUARY 21,2020 AND SO FAR IT HAS NOT STALLED OUT AT ALL, EVEN WHEN IT'S IN IDLE MODE. COST TO REPAIR IT WAS $901.67.

STEERING
MY CAR'S STEERING WHEEL FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS HAS BEEN SO STIFF AND HARD TO MANEUVER. I WENT TO WORK FINE BUT AS I WAS ABOUT TO LEAVE WORK, I TURNED THE CAR ON, SEEMS LIKE THE START WAS WEAK, AS I BACKED UP 2 FEET, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SO HARD TO MANEUVER. I WENT TO PARK MY CAR BACK TO WHERE IT WAS FROM, TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, THEN ALL I HEAR WAS A CLICKING SOUND, ENGINE WON'T START. COWORKERS JUMPED THE CAR, IT STARTED, TOOK IT TO ADVANCE FOR DIAGNOSIS, THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG ON THE ALTERNATOR OR BATTERY (BOTH LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD). THE CAR RAN LIKE NOTHING WAS WRONG. WENT TO WORK DRIVING THE CAR THE FOLLOWING DAY. IT WAS FINE, UNTIL I HAVE TO LEAVE WORK AGAIN. THE SAME THING HAPPENED!!! CAR'S ON PARK, STARTED THE CAR, BACKED UP, TURNED THE WHEELS, IT WAS STIFF AND IT SEEMED TO HAVE LOCKED, COWORKERS JUMP STARTED IT, DROVE HOME BUT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS ACTING WEIRD. I MADE IT HOME. HUSBAND DROVE THE CAR A BLOCKS FROM THE HOUSE TO SEE IT FOR HIMSELF THEN WHILE DRIVING BACK HE MENTIONED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED GET SOOOOO HARD AND STIFF. IT WAS NOT SAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE THE CAR. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED.

STEERING
DIFFICULTY TURNING STEERING WHEEL. I WAS PULLING OUT OF A STORE PARKING LOT & ONTO A MAIN STREET AND AS I WAS DRIVING AND BEGINNING TO TURN RIGHT THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY STIFF AND DIFFICULT TO TURN. I BECAME ANXIOUS BECAUSE I WAS HALFWAY ON THE MAIN STREET SO I USED BOTH HANDS TO TURN MY VEHICLE ONTO THE STREET AND LOOKED FOR THE NEAREST SIDE STREET TO GET OUT OF HARMS WAY. ONCE I GOT ONTO A SIDE STREET MANY IF NOT ALL LIGHTS ON MY CENTER CONSOLE ILLUMINATED (BRAKE LIGHT, BATTERY, ABS, VCS, ENGINE LIGHT ETC.). I HAVE ABOUT 140000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE.

STEERING
ON 08/30/2019 I WAS DRIVING DOWN A SUBURBAN CITY STREET GOING 40MPH AND SLOWED DOWN TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, BUT WAS UNABLE TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL BECAUSE IS HADU LOCKED UP AND WOULD NOT TURN. I WAS TERRIFIED BECAUSE I HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET BECAUSE THE CAR KEPT MOVING STRAIGHT AHEAD. I WAS AFRAID OF BEING HIT, BECAUSE I COULD GET THE STEERING WHEEL TO TURN. OUT OF DESPERATION AND FEAR, I GRABBED THE LEFT SIDE OF THE STEERING WHEEL WITH BOTH HANDS AND TRIED TO PULL DOWN TO MAKE THE STEERING WHEEL TURN...I WAS USING EXTREME FORCE, PULLING NUMEROUS TIMES BEFORE THE STEERING WHEEL FINALLY MOVED THE WHEELS TO THE LEFT SO I COULD MAKE THE LEFT HAND TURN. BUT WHEN I TRIED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT TO STRAIGHTEN THE WHEELS AND CONTINUE MOVING STRAIGHT AHEAD, THE SAME THING OCCURRED....THE STEERING WHEEL REQUIRED EXCESSIVE FORCE, USING TWO HANDS PULLING DOWN ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE STEERING WHEEL REPEATED TIMES TO GET THE CAR IN POSITION TO MOVE FORWARD. BY THE GRACE OF GOD, NO TRAFFIC CAME DOWN THE ROAD IN EITHER DIRECTION. I CONTINUED TRAVELING DOWN THE STRAIGHT ROAD FOR TWO MILES, UNTIL I CAME TO A STOPLIGHT WHERE I HAD TO MAKE ANOTHER LEFT TURN. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, THE SAME THING OCCURRED...I HAD TO REPEATED APPLY EXCESSIVE FORCE TO GET THE STEERING WHEEL TO TURN, WHICH SEEMED LIKE AN ETERNITY. THIS TIME THERE WAS TRAFFIC BEHIND ME BEEPING THEIR HORNS TO GET OUT OF THE WAY, BUT SINCE THE POWER STEERING WAS NOT WORKING, IT TOOK ABOUT 1-2 MINUTES PULL THE STEERING WHEEL TO TURN THE CAR. I TURNED ON THE FLASHER LIGHTS, DROVE 10MPH AND CONTINUED HOME. THE CAR DROVE STRAIGHT: STEERING WHEEL LOCKED-UP AND REQUIRED EXESSIVE FORCE FOR NEXT FOUR RIGHT/LEFT TURNS I HAD TO MAKE TO GET HOME. AFRAID TO DRIVE CAR; INJURED RT ROTOR CUP USING SUCH FORCE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL.TAKING TO TOYOTA DEALER TOMORROW FOR DIAGNOSIS.
