AIR BAGS, SEATS
IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, THE SPRINGS USED FOR THE SEAT RAILS ON THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND THE SEAT RAILS OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OF THREE-DOOR MODELS MAY BREAK. CONSEQUENCES: IF THE SPRING BREAKS, THE SEAT MAY NOT LOCK IN POSITION. IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH, THE SEAT COULD MOVE INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE SEAT OCCUPANT. REMEDY: TOYOTA WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE SEAT RAIL, AND REPLACE IT WITH A NEW ONE, IF NECESSARY, FREE OF CHARGE. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT YET PROVIDED A NOTIFICATION SCHED TOYOTA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2006-2008 RAV4, 2006-2010 YARIS, 2008-2010 HIGHLANDER, AND 2009-2010 TACOMA, COROLLA, COROLLA MATRIX AND GENERAL MOTORS PONTIAC VIBE VEHICLES. IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, THE STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY CONTAINS ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS TO THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG MODULE HOUSED IN A SPIRAL CABLE ASSEMBLY, WHICH INCLUDES A FLEXIBLE FLAT CABLE (FFC). DUE TO THE SHAPE AND LOCATION OF THE FFC'S RETAINER, THE FFC COULD BECOME DAMAGED WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED. CONSEQUENCES: IF THE FFC IS DAMAGED, CONNECTIVITY TO THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG MODULE COULD BE LOST AND THE AIR BAG DEACTIVATED. THE FAILURE OF THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG TO DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH THAT TYPICALLY NECESSITATES DEPLOYMENT INCREASES THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE DRIVER. REMEDY: TOYOTA WILL NOTIFY THE TOYOTA VEHICLE OWNERS, AND GENERAL MOTORS WILL NOTIFY THE PONTIAC VIBE OWNERS. TOYOTA SENT OWNERS AN INTERIM NOTIFICATION LETTER IN MAY 2014 TO ADVISE OWNERS OF THE RECALL. TOYOTA WILL MAIL OWNERS A SECOND LETTER WHEN REMEDY PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. GENERAL MOTORS HAS NOT YET PROVIDED A NOTIFICATION SCHEDULE FOR THE PONTIAC VIBE OWNERS. WHEN THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE, DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE SPIRAL CABLE ASSEMBLY, FREE OF CHARGE. *TR

VISIBILITY
WE WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY LATE IN THE EVENING WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW IMPLODED. THE GLASS LITERALLY CRUMBLED INTO TINY PIECES AND FELL INTO THE CAR, FRONT LEFT AND REAR LEFT SIDE. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT, AND WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING LIKE THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED BEFORE, NOBODY HAD EVER HEARD OF ANYTHING LIKE THIS. MY OWN GOOGLE RESEARCH HAS PROVEN THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER PEOPLE, AND PERHAPS THE DEALERSHIP WAS BEING LESS THAN HONEST WITH ME. MY FEAR IS THAT THERE IS A DEFECT AND THAT I, OR OTHER PEOPLE DRIVING THIS CAR CAN BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR WORSE. *TR

STEERING
NO INCIDENT YET. BUT A CONSTANT STEERING PROBLEM FROM DAY 1. STEERING OVERLY SENSITIVE AND NEEDS CONSTANT ADJUSTMENT TO DRIVE STRAIGHT. IF ADJUST TOO OFTEN STARTS TO SMOKE! CAN'T DRIVE FOR LONG BECAUSE OF STRESS. EVERY TOUCH ON THE STEERING WHEEL MOVES THE STEERING! BROUGHT TO TOYOTA TO REPAIR TWICE, TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS, BUT ONLY ALIGNED THE TIRES AND ADJUSTED THE STEERING TILT--MECHANICAL NON-NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS BUT NO TECHNICAL REPAIR. BROUGHT TO AN OUTSIDE MECHANIC WHO SAID THE STEERING OF TOO LOOSE AND NEEDED TOYOTA TECHNICAL ADJUSTMENT (AFTER TEST DRIVING AND COMING BACK WITH A VERY OVERPOWERING SMOKE SMELL!). GAVE UP ON TOYOTA TAKING THE PROBLEM SERIOUSLY AND COMPETENTLY WORKING ON MY CAR. JUST DRIVE IT ON SHORT TRIPS AROUND TOWN, AND THOUGH CONSTANT SWERVING IN MY LANE, NO ACCIDENT YET, THANK GOD. WILL RENT A NORMAL-STEERING CAR FOR LONG TRIPS, WILL NEVER BUY TOYOTA AGAIN. WOULD TRADE THIS ONE IN BUT IT WAS A GIFT AND I LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT IT, EXCEPT FOR THE UNSAFE STEERING ESPECIALLY ABOVE 40 MPH AND THE UNCOMFORTABLE SEAT THAT MAKES LONG TRIPS OUT OF THE QUESTION BECAUSE OF RESULTING BACKACHES. MAIN PROBLEM IN A NUTSHELL: POWER-STEERING OVERCORRECTS AND TOO LOOSE; NEEDS CONSTANT BACK AND FORTH ADJUSTMENT IN VAIN EFFORT TO DRIVE STRAIGHT. THANK YOU FOR YOU ATTENTION TO THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, INTERIOR LIGHTING
ALL EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR LIGHTS TURN OFF ON THEIR OWN. THEY HAVE DONE THIS TWICE. THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR THAT MY 18 YEAR OLD SON BOUGHT. HE DRIVES TO COLLEGE AND WORK AND CANNOT BE DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT HAS LIGHTS THAT DO NOT WORK IN THE DARK. THE DEALERSHIP HAS LOOKED AT THE CAR BUT CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM SO THEY ARE ASKING US TO COME BACK AND PICK IT UP. I REFUSE TO LET ANYONE DRIVE THIS VEHICLE UNTIL IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE. MY SON PULLED OVER IN EACH INSTANCE AND TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND PLAYED WITH THE LIGHT SWITCH OFF AND ON AND THE LIGHTS DID COME BACK ON. I SEEMS TO HAPPEN SPORADICALLY. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
DECIDED TO LOOK AT THE 2010 YARIS AFTER NOTICING OIL LEAK IN THE 2008 YARIS. THE 2010 HAD THE SAME LEAK. HAD THE 2008 HEAD GASKET REPLACED BY THE DEALER. HAVEN'T HAD THE HEAD GASKET OF THE 2010 REPLACED YET. CONCERNED THAT THE HEAD CYLINDER GASKETS ARE MOST LIKELY DEFECTIVE. LOOKED AT 7 OTHER YARIS, 2008'S (5 INCLUDING MINE) AND 2010'S (4 INCLUDING MINE) THAT HAD OIL AND OIL RESIDUE IN THE SAME SPOT WHERE THE OIL LEAKED FROM THE 2008 YARIS SEDAN. THE 2008 FAULTY HEAD GASKET WAS SENT TO TOYOTA CORPORATION TO BE INSPECTED FOR ANY DEFECTS. WE'VE ASKED (EMAILED) TOYOTA CORPORATION OF JAPAN SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THEIR FINDINGS WITH THE HEAD CYLINDER GASKET REMOVED THE 2008 AND THEY HAVE NOT REVEALED THEIR FINDINGS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TOYOTA YARIS 2007 WAS RUNNING AND THE MOTOR SHUT OFF. AFTER THAT SITUATION, NO ELECTRICITY ON STARTER OR SPARK. TOYOTA DEALER SAID THAT WAS A GASOLINE PUMP AND COMPUTER FUSE FAILURES.
