TOYOTA 2010 COROLLA. SUDDEN ACCELERATOR PROBLEM: AFTER HAVING THE RECALL UPDATE TO OUR COROLLA, A FEW MONTHS LATER, WE EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN ACCELERATION PROBLEM WITH OUR CAR. FROM A PARKED POSITION NEXT TO THE CURB, WE PUT OUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THEN PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE TO BACK AWAY FROM THE CAR IN FRONT OF US, AND THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND PROCEEDED TO JUMP OVER A CURB AND HIT A TREE NEXT TO US ON THE SIDE WALK. AGAIN, THIS WAS WHEN THE CAR WAS IN REVERSE, SO THE ACCELERATION WAS GOING BACKWARDS, WITH OUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE. AFTER TAKING OUR CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR CONSULTATION ON SEPT 7TH, THEY INDICATE THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND WE WOULD NEED TO CONTACT TOYOTA DIRECTLY ON THIS PROBLEM. IT IS NOW NEARLY A MONTH LATER, AND WE STILL HAVE NOT BEEN "VISITED" BY THE TOYOTA ENGINEERING TEAM. WE WERE ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER BY TOYOTA AND TOLD TO WAIT TO HEAR FROM THEM. WE ARE STILL WITHOUT OUR CAR AND WAITING SOME KIND OF FORMAL INSPECTION FROM THE TOYOTA CORPORATE TEAM. THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER IS TRYING TO HELP AS WELL AND IS ALSO CONTACTING TOYOTA CORPORATE FOR ASSISTANCE. THIS IS NOT FAIR TO BE WITHOUT OUR CAR AND SOME REASSURANCE FROM TOYOTA THAT THIS WON'T HAPPENED AGAIN TO OUR CAR. AS OF THIS DATE OCTOBER 1, 2010, NO INSPECTION HAS TAKEN PLACE ON OUR CAR. WE'RE STILL WAITING. *TR

WHILE MERGING INTO THE LEFT LANE ON THE MEADOWBROOK PKWY., MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA WITH (8,300 MILES AT THE TIME), ACCELERATOR STUCK. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED. I PANICKED, LOOKED DOWN, AND SAW THE PEDAL STUCK ALL THE WAY DOWN. AFTER A FEW SECONDS I JAMMED ON THE BRAKES, & THE PEDAL RELEASED. I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS WAS DUE TO THE FLOOR MAT. MY MAT WAS NOT ON THE ACCELERATOR. THIS CAR FROM THE BEGINNING HAD "POOR PICK-UP". BY THAT, I MEAN IT WAS VERY SLOW WHILE TRYING TO MERGE ONTO PKWY'S TO THE POINT THAT I ALWAYS HAD TO FLOOR IT. I ALSO FROM TIME TO TIME HEARD A VERY SLIGHT CLICK WHILE STEPPING ON THE ACC. PEDAL. BUT FOR THE FIRST TIME, IT ACTUALLY STUCK ON ME. I OWNED A 2005 COROLLA BEFORE THIS CAR, & IT WAS NOTING LIKE THIS CURRENT CAR. I ALSO OWNED A 1999 CAMRY, & A 2003 4-RUNNER. UNTIL NOW, I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM. *TR

STEERING
I BOUGHT A NEW 2010 COROLLA LE THE FOURTH OF APRIL 2010; TEST DROVE IT ETC. EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE JUST FINE I DID A LONG TRIP TO THE NIAGARA FALLS TRIP APPROX 1600 MILES ROUND TRIP. DURING THE TRIP, I COULD TELL SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE STEERING. I FOUND THAT I HAD TO FOCUS ON THE ROAD BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD SLOWLY CHANGE LANES. I THOUGH IT WAS THE WIND OR SOMETHING ELSE. I HAVE TO DRIVE MY CAR 80 MILES EVERY DAY IT IS A CONTINUOUS BATTLE WHEN DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE HAD THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES, ONE OF THE TECHNICAL GUYS HAS LAUGH ON MY FACE AND TOLD ME THAT I HAVE TO DRIVE YOUR CAR WITH TWO HANDS AND FOCUS ONE HUNDRED PERCENT ON THE ROAD. THAT MEANS YOU CAN OPEN YOUR WINDOWS, TURN ON THE RADIO, ETC. THE DEALERSHIP HAS ALREADY PERFORMED THREE ALIGNMENTS ON THE CAR AND THEY COULD FIND ANYTHING AND THE CAR STILL HAS THE SAME ISSUE. LIKE THE TECHNICAL PEOPLE ON TOYOTA SAY 'WE CAN FIX IT IF WE CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM'. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
PURCHASED A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA USED FROM A TOYOTA DEALER WITH UNDER 5000 MILES ON THE CAR. THE THIRD DAY I OWNED IT THE BRAKES BEGAN TO MAKE EXCESSIVE NOISE. THE CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THREE SEPARATE DEALERS ALL WHO FAIL TO RECOGNIZE OR FIX THE PROBLEM THE BRAKES SOMETIMES SHUDDER ON UNEVEN PAVEMENT OR IF BRAKING ON A SLIGHT CURVE. AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT HAS BEEN MADE TO TOYOTA. THE NOISE IS EXCESSIVE AND LOUD AND TYPE OF NOISE YOU WOULD HEAR AFTER 30,000 MILES WHEN IN NEED OF BRAKE REPLACEMENT. ON THE THIRD VISIT TO A DEALER, A TECHNICIAN RODE IN THE CAR AND POSITIVELY IDENTIFIED THE NOISE. THEY THEN CLAIMED TO HAVE TAKEN APART THE WHEELS/BRAKES ONLY TO CLAIM THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM AND REFUSED TO REPLACE THE BRAKES UNDER THE EXISTING WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. BECAUSE THE BRAKES MAKE SUCH A LOUD NOISE SO FREQUENTLY, IT WOULD SEEM THE CAR MAY BE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. ALSO, ALTHOUGH THE CAR WAS PURCHASED THROUGH THE TOYOTA DEALER AND AS AN OWNER I WAS REGISTERED WITH THEIR ONLINE OWNER SITE, I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF THE LATEST SAFETY RECALL, AND DIDN'T FIND OUT UNTIL THE CAR WAS TAKEN IN A THIRD TIME FOR THE BRAKE ISSUE. THE PROBLEM REMAINS ONGOING. *TR

STEERING
WHEN DRIVING MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA ON THE HIGHWAY, THE STEERING WILL SUDDENLY DRIFT FROM SIDE TO SIDE GIVING THE SENSATION THAT I AM HYDROPLANING OR THAT MY TIRES ARE BALD, EVEN THOUGH THE ROADS ARE COMPLETELY DRY. LUCKILY, NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET, BUT IT IS VERY DISCONCERTING AND VERY SCARY. I COULD EASILY SEE SOMETHING HAPPENING IF I WERE TO OVERCOMPENSATE AND STEER TO THE OTHER DIRECTION. THIS WOULD BE EASY TO DO BECAUSE THE STEERING FEELS SO LOOSE. I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING YET. IT'S SUCH A NEW CAR THAT I'M NOT SURE WHAT I CAN DO - UNTIL SOMETHING ACTUALLY FAILS, WHICH WOULD BE TOO LATE. I REALLY HOPE NHTSA RESEARCHES THIS ISSUE IMMEDIATELY. *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
CAR: TOYOTA COROLLA BASE 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION 2010 I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW FROM A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND IT IMMEDIATELY HAD PROBLEMS WITH SHIFTING INTO REVERSE. FROM THE 2ND DAY THAT I HAD THE CAR, WITH 54 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, THE WHOLE CAR WOULD SHAKE AND SHUDDER AS I PUT THE GEAR INTO REVERSE. THE GEAR WOULD CLUNK INTO REVERSE, CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO SHAKE AND SHUDDER AND IT IS SOMETIMES DIFFICULT TO EVEN GET IT TO ENGAGE. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES FOR THE SAME REASON WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. A CASE WAS OPENED WITH A FIELD BRANCH AND CLOSED WITH THE CONCLUSION THAT THE CAR WAS OPERATING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. THE PROBLEM WAS REPRODUCIBLE BY MYSELF IN FRONT OF THE MANAGER, THE SERVICE WRITER AND THE TECHNICIANS AT THE DEALERSHIP ALL DROVE IT AND WERE ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE SAME ISSUE. THEY SAY THAT ALL THE COROLLA CARS DO THAT AND THAT IT IS NORMAL. THE PROBLEM HAS PROGRESSED TO THE GEAR GRINDING WHEN TRYING TO ENGAGE NOW. THE CLUTCH IS COMPLETELY PRESSED DOWN AND THE GEAR IS MOVED INTO REVERSE AND IT GRINDS TWICE BEFORE FINALLY ENGAGING. NO PARTS WERE REPLACED, NO WORK WAS DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IT IS DIFFICULT TO PUT THE CAR INTO REVERSE WHICH CAUSES PROBLEMS WITH EVERYDAY DRIVING AND MAKES IT DANGEROUS TO NOT BE ABLE TO REVERSE AT A MOMENT'S NOTICE IF NECESSARY. *TR
