VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON FIVE SEPARATE OCCASIONS MY 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ACCELERATION. VEHICLE EACH TIME WAS AT VERY LOW SPEED, APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, GOING FROM PARK TO DRIVE OR PARK TO REVERSE, WITH LIGHT PRESSURE APPLIED TO BRAKES. ENGINE BEGAN TO RACE AND ACCELERATE, BRAKING HARDER HAD NO EFFECT, AND VEHICLE STOPPED ONLY WHEN SHIFTED TO PARK. INSTANCES OCCURRED WHILE PARALLEL PARKING OR COMING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY ONTO A BUSY STREET. ACCELERATOR WAS NOT STUCK IN DOWN POSITION, BUT ENGINE ROARED AND RACED ON ITS OWN POWER. I HAD NO CONTROL OF VEHICLE DURING THE FOUR OR FIVE SECONDS IT TOOK ME TO SHIFT INTO PARK. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER ON NOVEMBER 17, 2017 AFTER FIRST THREE INCIDENTS, WITH SERVICE DEPARTMENT FINDING NO PROBLEM. VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO DEALER AGAIN ON FEBRUARY 14, 2018, AFTER TWO MORE INCIDENTS OF SUDDEN ACCELERATION. SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THEY SUGGESTED USER ERROR, MY CONFUSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL. IT WAS NOT USER ERROR AND NOT FLOOR MATS STUCK UNDER GAS PEDAL. IT HAPPENED FIVE TIMES AND THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

ENGINE
MY CAR HAD A RECALL COMPLETED ON THE ECM IN 2011. NOW IN 2018 MY ECM IS SHORTING OUT CAUSING MY ENGINE TO SHUT OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING. IN ORDER TO START UP THE ENGINE AGAIN I HAVE TO PULL OVER, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURN THE KEY AGAIN. ONE TIME THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS STOPPED. THE OTHER TIME THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. TOYOTA REPORTED THAT BECAUSE THE RECALL HAD ALREADY BEEN COMPLETED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AND THE REPAIR HAD TO BE COMPLETED AT MY EXPENSE. THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE MY CAR SAFE TO DRIVE AGAIN IS TO HAVE A NEW ECM INSTALLED.

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SUSPENSION
THE CRUISE CONTROL IS JUST AWFUL AND HAS BEEN SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW IN DECEMBER 2016. JUST AS SEVERAL OTHERS HAVE DESCRIBED, IT CANNOT CONTROL THE SPEED WHEN GOING DOWN HILL. IT RAISES THE RPM'S TRYING TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN, BUT IT ISN'T VERY EFFECTIVE. I'VE NEVER HAD ANOTHER CAR OR ANOTHER TOYOTA HAVE SUCH POOR SPEED CONTROL. SO MUCH, THAT I DON'T EVEN BOTHER TRYING TO USE IT ANYMORE. A COP ISN'T GOING TO LISTEN TO "MY CRUISE CONTROL WASN'T WORKING RIGHT" IF I GET PULLED OVER. THE BRAKES ALREADY FEEL LIKE THEY ARE WEARING OUT AT 26K MILES. MY 13 CAMRY HAD 30K AND THE BRAKES STILL FELT BRAND NEW. SAME WITH THE 15 SENTRA I HAD. THE SUSPENSION FEELS ROUGHER AND IS STARTING TO MAKE NOISES ALREADY. THIS CAR SHOULDN'T FEEL LIKE IT HAS 60K MILES ON IT ALREADY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE DISPLAY SCREEN FOR THE RADIO, NAVIGATION, MAINTENANCE REMINDERS, HANDS FREE PHONE USE, BACK-UP CAMERA, 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 ITS SELF 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 SENSE 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 REVERSE CAMERA DOES NOT WORK. ALSO AN INOPERABLE NAVIGATION SYSTEM COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE TOO. I HAVE TRIED TO RESET THE RADIO, DO A HARD RESET BY HOLDING THE POWER BUTTON AND DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY. NOTHING WORKS. I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY QUOTED ME MORE THAN $3600 FOR THE REPAIR. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

AIR BAGS
TAKATA AIRBAGS/ WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION SLOWLY TURNING INTO A PARKING SPACE, THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE AIRBAGS IMPEDED THE DRIVER FROM CONTROLLING THE CAR AND CAUSED A CRASH INTO A BUILDING. THIS HAPPENED ON A PRIVATE PARKING LOT. THE CAR HAD RECENTLY BEEN SERVICED FOR THE TAKATA RECALL. NOTHING WAS STRUCK TO ENGAGE THE IMPACT SENSORS. THE ROAD AND PARKING LOT WAS FREE FROM OBSTACLES. WE WANT TO KNOW IF NON COMPLIANT SERVICE FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL CREATED A FAILURE WHICH CAUSED THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. WE ARE HAVING THE CAR INSPECTED BY TOYOTA AND WANT TO KNOW IF AN IMPARTIAL INSPECTOR CAN BE PRESENT TO OVERSEE THE PROCEDURE.

TAKATA RECALL: I TOOK MY TOYOTA COROLLA IN FOR THE SEAT BELT RECALLS. THE SEAT BELT LIGHT WAS NOT ON WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIR. AFTER REPAIR THE SEAT BELT LIGHT WAS ON. THE OBDII CODE IS B1182 ' SHORT IN D SQUIB CIRCUIT TO GROUND. THE AIRBAG (SRS) LIGHT MAY ILLUMINATE WITH CODE B1177 AND/OR B1182, RELATED TO THE FRONT SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERS. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY DID THE RECALL REPAIR AND THE LIGHT BEING ON IS MY PROBLEM. THE PRETENSIONERS ARE RELATED TO THE RECALL. HOW DO I KNOW, WHO DO I ASK WHO DO I GO TO (AND TRUST) WHETHER THE RECALL REPAIR WAS DONE ' IF AT ALL. WHY IS THE LIGHT ON AFTER REPAIR AND NOT BEFORE? SEEKING TO UNDERSTAND.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE VEHICLE DOES THIS 100% OF THE TIME. WHEN ON THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ON THE INTERSTATE THERE ARE OCCASIONS WHERE THE CRUISE WILL GO 14 MPH ABOVE THE SET LIMIT AND THE ENGINE IS AT 4000 RPM OR HIGHER. I TYPICALLY DRIVE AT 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE; THIS IS CAUSING ME TO GO TO OVER 75 MPH WHILE THE SYSTEM IS TRYING TO RECOVER BACK TO 65MPH. I ALSO OWN A 2017 TOYOTA RAV4 AND DRIVE THE SAME ROADS; THE CRUISE IS 'ROCK STEADY'. IT HOLDS AT A CONSTANT 65MPH.
