ENGINE
ONE MONTH AFTER BUYING MY CAR FROM ANOTHER CONSUMER, I NOTICED THE OIL WAS LOW. I FILLED FULL THE FIRST DAY I GOT IT AND HAD NOT PUT ANY SERIOUS MILEAGE ON IT. TWO WEEKS LATER I START TO HEAR THIS TICKING NOISE AND REALIZED THE OIL FILTER NEEDED CHANGED THE PRIOR WEEK. CHANGED IT. NOTHING HAPPENED. THIS TICKING OCCURS ON START UP, GETS LOUDER WITH THE RPM, AND VIBRATES THE ENTIRE CAR AT STOPS. TOOK MY CAR TO TOYOTA THE NEXT MONTH THINKING IT WAS THE ACCELERATOR BELT OR THE CONNECTION ROD BEARING PLATE. THEY HAD ME PAY PAY 120$ TO TAKE OFF THE VALVE HOOD ONLY TO TELL ME I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I DID A BUNCH OF RESEARCH AFTER THIS AND HUNDREDS OF CONSUMERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE OVERCONSUMPTION OF OIL FROM THIS YEAR'S MODEL LEADING TO THE FAILURE OF MANY ENGINES. TOYOTA STILL HASN'T ADMITTED FAULT FOR THIS AND THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL WHEN THERE SHOULD BE. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE AN 'HONEST, RELIABLE' COMPANY BUT IF THEY EXPECT CONSUMERS TO PAY 2 TO 6 THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR A NEW ENGINE THAT WAS THEIR FAULT...I WILL NOT SUPPORT THEM THROUGH BUYING THEIR PRODUCTS AGAIN. FRANKLY IT'S SICKENING TO READ THAT AFTER 10 YEARS THEY WON'T BE ON THE HOOK FOR THIS FAULTY PRODUCT'S DESIGN. WHILE I UNDERSTAND THOSE WERE TOUGH TIMES, WE ARE STILL FEELING THE 2008 RECESSION THROUGH THIS FAULTY PRODUCT AND A COMPANY THAT DOES NOT HOLD UP TO THEIR NAME.

SERVICE BRAKES
I'M A TROOPER WITH THE OREGON STATE POLICE. I COVERED A CRASH TODAY WHERE THE MENTIONED VEHICLE BRAKED FOR THE DRIVER, BUT THE BRAKE LIGHTS NEVER ENGAGED. I SPOKE TO ANOTHER TOYOTA OWNER ON SCENE WHO STATED HIS TOYOTA DOES THE SAME WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BRAKING FOR HIM. THE DRIVER BEHIND THIS TOYOTA WAS ABLE TO STOP IN TIME, BUT I CAN SEE THIS LACK OF BRAKE LIGHTS AS A PROBLEM.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE OWNED MY CAR JUST UNDER A YEAR. I HAVE HAD CONTINUOUS ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION RANDOMLY DOWN SHIFTING AT STOPS AND NOW I GET A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SO I PULL INTO MY CLOSEST AUTO PARTS STORE SINCE IT'S SUNDAY. BOOM 17 CODES FOR EMISSION CONTROL FAILURE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS LESS THAN A YEAR AND IM ALREADY SHOWING TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND EMISSION CONTROL ISSUES. THIS IS NOT A GOOD SIGN FOR FUTURE YEARS TO COME. THERE WAS A RECALL EARLIER THIS YEAR INVOLVING THE TRANSMISSION AND NOW ITS SUDDENLY DISAPPEARED. I FIND IT STRANGE ESPECIALLY SINCE TOYOTA KEEPS DOWNPLAYING EVERYTHING EVERY TIME I GO IN.

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY, SERVICE BRAKES
ON 08/07/2018, I WAS IN A CAR (2016 TOYOTA COROLLA) ACCIDENT WHERE ANOTHER CAR SLAMMED ME IN THE REAR AND I'VE HIT A CHEVY PICKUP IN THE BACK. THE PICK-UP WAS COMING TO A STOP WHICH I WAS SLOWING DOWN AS WELL AND I'M ASSUMING THE CAR THAT WAS BEHIND DID NOT PAID ATTENTION. THEREFORE, HE HIT ME BETWEEN 45-50 MPH IN THE BACK WHICH I'VE HIT THE TRUCK ABRUPTLY AT 30-35MPH. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY WHICH IS VERY SHOCKING AND MY SHOULDER ALONG WITH MY ARM SLAMMED INTO THE STEERING WHEEL. ALSO, I HAD A HARD TIME WITH MY BRAKES BECAUSE IT FELT LIKE IT WAS STUCK AND WOULDN'T GO DOWN AS I WAS PRESSING ON IT. I'M SUFFERING FROM INTENSE RIGHT LEG PAIN AS IF I'VE TORN THE MUSCLE BUT 10X'S WORST. EVER SINCE THE ACCIDENT, MY LEG HAS BEEN GOING NUMB QUITE FREQUENTLY WHICH GOES INTO MY TOES. I'M WALKING WITH A LIMP AND MY SHOULDER HAS SHARP PAIN AS WELL. I'M STARTING TO THINK THAT MY AIRBAGS WERE DEFECTIVE BECAUSE IT SHOULD HAVE DEPLOY AS SOON AS THE IMPACT OCCURRED BUT IT DIDN'T...

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
COMPUTER IS SENDING FALSE CODES. CAR WON'T ACCELERATE FROM A STOP THEN EVENTUALLY STARTS MOVING VERY SLOWLY. UNHOOKING THE BATTERY THEN HOOKING IT BACK UP DOES A HARD RESET ON THE COMPUTER WHICH MAKES THE CAR WORK PROPERLY FOR A DAY OR SO THEN IT DOES IT AGAIN. WAS TOLD BY MECHANIC THE COMPUTER DOESN'T KNOW WHAT GEAR THE CAR IS IN.

STEERING
I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A LOT OF HIGHWAY WANDERS AND I HAVE REPLACED TIRES AND HAD THREE OR MORE ALIGNMENTS DONE SINCE JANUARY OF THIS YEAR. IT FEELS AS IF THE WILD IS BLOWING A HUNDRED MILES AN HOUR AROUND ME AND PUSHES MY CAR ALL OVER THE FREEWAY. I FEEL IT GETTING WORSE AS WELL. I'M NOT SURE WHAT ELSE TO DO OR WHO TO CONTACT. I REALLY NEED TO GET THIS FIXED ASAP AND WE HAVE TRIED MANY THINGS.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE CAR FAILED TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY WHEN ENTERING THE HIGHWAY. IT WOULD NOT EXCEED 45 MILES PER HOUR. TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AS THEY HAD PREVIOUSLY ISSUED A SERVICE CAMPAIGN BULLETIN TO ADDRESS THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION. HOWEVER, THEY HAVE SINCE SUSPENDED THE RECALL LEAVING DRIVERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM AT RISK. THE ONLY APPARENT SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AT A COST OF $9200 WHICH MAY BE WHY TOYOTA IS HESITATING ON ISSUING A PROPER RECALL. UNFORTUNATELY, I DO NOT HAVE $9200 SO THE CAR REMAINS UNDRIVEABLE.
