ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE FRONT DOORS NO LONGER LOCK BY PRESSING THE BUTTON ON THE DOOR. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR DOES NOT LOCK AT ALL, EVEN IF THE LOCK IS PRESSED BY HAND. IT STARTED DOING IT EVERY FEW DAYS, BUT NOW THE DOORS HAVE STOPPED ALTOGETHER. WE WERE ABLE TO FIND OUT THAT THE ACTUATORS ARE FAULTY. THE CAR IS A 2014 AND THE PROBLEM IS SOMETHING WE HAD NO CONTROL OVER. THERE ARE REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE WITH 2014 COROLLAS AS WELL. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.

STEERING
WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL IT SEEMS TO JUST LOCK UP AND DOESN'T WANT TO TURN, AND I HAVE TO FORCE THE STEERING WHEEL TO TURN. IT HAPPENS ABOUT 2 TO 3 TIMES A WEEK. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A CAR THE OTHER DAY BECAUSE I COULD NOT GET TURN THE CORNER FAST ENOUGH BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO TURN THE WHEEL. IT ALSO FEELS LIKE IT'S LOCKING UP WHEN I AM DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ALSO. I READ HUNDREDS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE ON OTHER 2010 TOYOTA COROLLAS.

AIR BAGS
TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT FROM NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR, WHICH CAUSED THE CONTACT TO REAR END ANOTHER VEHICLE.

THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOWING FACILITY AND DEEMED DESTROYED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE DISPLAY SCREEN FOR THE RADIO, NAVIGATION, MAINTENANCE REMINDERS, HANDS FREE PHONE USE, ETC. SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING WHEN STARTED MY CAR. THE SCREEN ONLY SHOWS AN ICON WITH A STATUS BAR THAT MAKES IT APPEAR THAT THE COMPUTER THAT OPERATES THIS SYSTEM IS TRYING TO RESTART. THE SCREEN ITSELF WORKS, BUT THE COMPUTER WON'T BOOT-UP. THIS IS DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING, AND PREVENTS THE USE OF ALL THE SAFETY FEATURES THAT RELY ON IT'S FUNCTION. I HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE READING ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN 2014-2016 TOYOTA VEHICLES THAT HAVE THE PREMIUM ENTUNE SYSTEM WITH NAVIGATION. THEY ADMITTEDLY STATE THAT THE FUGITSU COMPONENT IS FAULTY AND THEY HAVE SINCE STARTED USING A PANASONIC UNIT TO AVOID FUTURE PROBLEMS. TOYOTA PRICES THE REPLACEMENT PART AT $3450. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, WHEN THEY KNOW THAT THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE FAULT OF THE CAR OWNER, BUT RATHER A FAULTY PART THAT WAS USED DURING THE MANUFACTURE OF THE VEHICLE. ACCORDING TO THE POST OF ONE TOYOTA TECHNICIAN, TOYOTA HAS REPLACED 1 MILLION OF THESE UNITS, BUT UNLESS THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY THEY REFUSE TO COVER THE REPAIR COST BECAUSE TOYOTA DOES NOT THINK THIS MALFUNCTION IS A SAFETY ISSUE A RECALL OR WARRANTY EXTENSION HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED. I THINK IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THE HANDS-FREE FUNCTION DOES NOT WORK AND THE SCREEN IS VISUALLY DISTRACTING AS IT CONSTANTLY POWERS ON AND OFF. IT ALSO MEANS AN INOPERABLE NAVIGATION SYSTEM COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL AS NOT HAVING THE HANDS-FREE CALLING AND TEXTING. I HAVE TRIED TO RESET THE RADIO, DO A HARD RESET BY HOLDING THE POWER BUTTON AND REPLACING THE BATTERY. NOTHING WORKS. I CALLED TOYOTA AND GOT ROUTED AROUND AND HUNG UP ON. MECHANIC QUOTED ME MORE THAN $3500 FOR THE REPAIR. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE WHEN IT IS A KNOWN ENTUNE DEFECT AFFECTING MANY MODELS ACROSS MANY YEARS!

TAKATA RECALL THIS REMEDY HAS NOT YET BEEN PERFORMED AFTER CONTACTING THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER AND BURNSVILLE (MN) TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER DIRECTLY 3 TIMES. I CONTACTED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER WHEN I FIRST RECEIVED THE LETTER ON 02/12, SPOKE TO PAM , AFTER SHE SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE CENTER, ADVISED ME THE PARTS WOULD BE ORDERED IN 2-3 DAYS. ON 02/21 I CALLED THEM AGAIN AND THE REP STATED THE PARTS WERE NEVER ORDERED, SO SHE PUT IN A REQUEST AND ADVISED ME TO WAIT A COUPLE OF DAYS. I CALLED ON 02/26 DIRECTLY TO BURNSVILLE TOYOTA, SARAH SAID THE PARTS WERE NEVER ORDERED AND SHE WOULD "PUSH IT THROUGH" DURING OUR PHONE CALL. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE DUE TO THE FACT I FEEL THAT I'VE BEEN FAILED THIS REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME. I'M WAITING TO GET MY OIL CHANGE DONE SAME DAY. I FEEL I HAVE BEEN NEGLECTED AND THIS NOTICE WAS TO INFORM ME OF AN IMPORTANT RECALL THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO PASSENGERS. PLEASE ADVISE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
