AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL. CAR WAS BROUGHT IN FOR THE RECALL IN AUGUST 2018. TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE ENTIRE MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED (BECAUSE THE STICKER ON THE AIRBAG WAS MISSING FROM A CAR THAT IS OVER 12 YEARS OLD) AND THE PARTS NECESSARY WERE ON BACK ORDER & IT WOULD TAKE 6 MONTHS TO COME IN. IN DECEMBER, I WAS TOLD THERE WERE AROUND 205 PEOPLE IN FRONT OF ME ON THE LIST FOR THE SAME PART. I'VE CONTACTED TOYOTA'S CORPORATE OFFICE MULTIPLE TIMES WITH NO ETA, AND VERY LITTLE CUSTOMER SERVICE IN TRYING TO GET THIS RESOLVED. AS OF FEBRUARY 2019, I STILL DO NOT HAVE MY CAR FIXED AND IT'S SITTING AT THE DEALERSHIP WHILE I"M FORCED TO DRIVE A LOANER THAT I HAVE TO RENEW EVERY 30 DAYS. I CALLED TOYOTA'S REGIONAL OFFICE A FEW WEEKS AGO AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS MAY TAKE YEARS BEFORE THE PARTS ARE IN AND READY BECAUSE THE PARTS HAVE TO GO THROUGH TOYOTA TESTING AND THE GOVERNMENT. I WAS ORIGINALLY TOLD THIS WOULD BE A 3 HOUR FIX, NOW IT'S BEEN OVER 6 MONTHS AND THERE'S STILL NO END IN SIGHT WHEN THE PARTS NECESSARY WILL BE RECEIVED WHILE MY CAR ROTS FROM DISUSE ON THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP GROUNDS. THE ONLY REASON I BROUGHT MY CAR IN WAS BECAUSE TOYOTA WAS HASSLING ME ABOUT THE RECALL AND NOW THEY MAY NEVER HAVE THE PARTS IN TO FIX IT (AT LEAST WHERE I CAN STILL DRIVE MY CAR). THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE THAT PARTS ARE NOT BEING PRODUCED TO FIX THESE ISSUES THAT TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT IN A TIMELY MANNER.

WHEELS
I CAN'T KEEP THE ICE BUILDUP OFF MY BACK TIRES DUE TO A PIECE OF PLASTIC HOLDING IT UP UNDER THE WHEEL WELLS. IT'S WEARING MY TIRES OUT FASTER. I HAVE EVEN PRESSURE WASHED IT AND STILL CAN'T GET THE ICE TO COME OUT! THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE MY WHEEL WELLS TO RUST OUT FASTER BY HOLDING IT UNDER MY WELLS. I HAVE ANOTHER COROLLA AND IT DOESN'T HAVE THAT PLASTIC IN THE FRONT PART OF THE REAR TIES!

STEERING
THE SERPENTINE BELT CAME OUT FROM THE PULLEYS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE ALTERNATOR BROKE LOOSE FROM THE TOP ANCHOR BOLT. UPON EXAMINATION, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS ANCHORED AND FASTENED ONLY BY ONE TOP BOLT. THE SECOND ANCHORING BOLT (LOWER END) WAS NOT PLACED THROUGH THE BOLT HOLE BECAUSE OF AN INTERFERENCE OF 0.11". THE LOOSENED SERPENTINE BELT CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL TO CEASE ITS FUNCTION AND CAN POTENTIALLY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. FOR MY CASE, FORTUNATELY, THE TOP BOLT BROKE OFF (DUE TO FATIGUE FAILURE) WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL IN THE DRIVEWAY.

POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED FOR A LEFT TURN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE TO GET THROUGH THE INTERSECTION WHEN THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THREE OCCASIONS AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT CHECKED AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE IT. TRANSMISSION HAS NOT BEEN SHIFTING CORRECTLY AND NOW THE TRANSMISSION IS MAKING A STRANGE GRINDING NOISE. THIS COROLLA HAS A CVT TRANSMISSION AND THE TOYOTA COROLLA FORUMS ARE TELLING ME THAT TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAD ISSUED A SPECIAL SERVICE CAMPAIGN TO UPDATE THE SOFTWARE. THIS HAS SINCE BEEN RESCINDED BECAUSE THE UPDATE DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM.I HAVE READ THAT THIS LOSS OF POWER IS CAUSING SOME SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS, ESPECIALLY IF IT HAPPENS ON HIGH SPEED HIGHWAYS.
