POWER TRAIN
TSB 0087-09 MARCH 13, 2009 CAME OUT SHORTLY AFTER PRODUCTION OF THE 2009 MODEL AND DUE TO THE MANY COMPLAINTS IT APPEARS THEY QUICKLY INCLUDED IT IN THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY (6 MO/60K MILES) RATHER THAN DO A RECALL. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT IS DETECTED ON A COLD START, SO MANY USERS WILL IGNORE IT, THINKING IT'S JUST A SQUEAKY BELT, AND USED CAR BUYERS WILL GET TAKEN BECAUSE YOU CAN'T DETECT IT IF THE SELLER HAS STARTED THE CAR AND IT DOESN'T OCCUR UNTIL THE NEXT DAY AFTER YOU'VE PURCHASED THE CAR. TOYOTA SLID UNDER THE RADAR ON THIS ONE. IT'S A PRICEY REPAIR THAT I'VE BEEN TOLD BY A FEW MECHANICS THAT ONLY THE DEALER SHOULD HANDLE. I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO PURSUE A RECALL. THIS IS NOT A PART THAT SHOULD HAVE PROBLEMS. IN FACT, THE DEALER SAID THEY SHOULD GO 250K WITHOUT MAJOR PROBLEMS. IT'S NOT JUST THE '09 COROLLA. IT IS WIDESPREAD, AND IF YOU GOOGLE THIS, THE WEB IS FILLED WITH COMPLAINTS FOR SEVERAL TOYOTA MODELS. PLEASE LET THE CONSUMER KNOW YOU'RE BEING VIGILANT AND INVESTIGATE THIS OVERLOOKED ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL VEHICLE HAS BEEN SITTING AT DEALERSHIP AWAITING FIX FOR OVER 2 MONTHS, AND HAS HAD AN OPEN RECALL FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS. OWNER HAS HAD MULTIPLE CONVERSATIONS WITH DEALERSHIP, AND THERE IS NO GUARANTEED TIME-FRAME FOR REPAIRS. OWNER IS STILL PAYING MONTHLY PAYMENTS AND INSURANCE ON VEHICLE, EVEN THOUGH SHE IS NOT CURRENTLY IN POSSESSION, NOR ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE SAFELY. OWNER HAS ALSO BEEN NOTIFIED THAT SHE IS NOT ABLE TO RESELL THE VEHICLE IN IT'S CURRENT "DEFECTIVE" STATE, THUS DECREASING THE VALUE OF THE CAR OVER 2 YEARS.

TAKATA RECALL - TOYOTA ANNOUNCED THIS RECALL IN JANUARY 2017. I RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION AT THAT TIME INFORMING ME THAT ANOTHER NOTIFICATION WOULD BE SENT TO ME WHEN THE REMEDY BECOMES AVAILABLE. THE REMEDY IS TO REPLACE MY AIRBAG INFLATOR OR MY AIRBAG ASSEMBLY, DEPENDING ON MY VEHICLE, AT NO CHARGE TO ME. IT IS NOW SEPTEMBER 2017 AND I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. THIS IS TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE ON BEHALF OF TOYOTA. I EXPECT A REPLACEMENT OF THE AFFECTED AIRBAG OR MONETARY COMPENSATION BASED ON THE RISK THIS POSES TO THE PASSENGERS THAT RIDE IN MY VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL...I RECEIVED AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL SAYING THAT I AM THE CURRENT OWNER OF A SUBJECT VEHICLE. I'VE TRIED TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF, BUT AM TOLD THE REMEDY HAS BEEN COMPLETED, YET I AM DRIVING AROUND IN A VEHICLE THAT IS DANGEROUS. I GOT THE RECALL LETTER 8 MONTHS AGO, AND STILL CANNOT HAVE IT FIXED. I AM VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE BESIDES MYSELF, MY CHILDREN USE THIS CAR AND THERE IS ALMOST ALWAYS SOMEONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. HOW LONG IS IT GOING TO TAKE TOYOTA TO COMPLETE THE REMEDY FOR THIS RECALL WHILE I AM STILL DRIVING AROUND IN A SUBJECT VEHICLE FOR THE ORIGINAL RECALL 8 MONTHS AGO? THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THE CAR I HAVE REFERENCED HAD A RECALL FOR THE ECM UNIT IN 2011. THE UNIT WAS REPLACED (6/29/2011) FOR CAR NOT STARTING OR STOPPING AND SHUTTING OFF. SOLDERING BAD CAUSING CRACKS IN BOARD. ON 10/3/2011 THE CAR HAD TO BE REPROGRAMMED BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD SOMETIMES TURN OVER BUT NOT START, THEN 30 MIN OR SO THE CARD WOULD START. NOW THE SAME PROBLEM IS OCCURRING. I HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN IN MY CAR OVER NIGHT. I STOPPED AT A STORE, TURN OFF THE CAR WENT INSIDE FOR 10 MIN. THIS WAS AROUND 6:00 PM CAME BACK OUT CAR WOULD NOT START UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING AROUND 8:15 AM. I SLEPT IN MY CAR SO I DID NOT HAVE TO LEAVE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OR IN A PARKING LOT! EVERYONE SEEMS TO IGNORE WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE. THIS IS REPETITIVE FOR THIS CAR. YOU ALREADY HAVE A A COMPLAINT FROM A PERSON DATED 2010 WHERE HIS ECM HAD TO BE REPLACED TWO TO THREE TIMES AND HE IS STILL UNHAPPY. AT LEAST MY CAR HAS GONE A LITTLE LONGER THAN HIS HAD. I DO NOT HAVE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO PAY FOR CONTINUING TO FIGHT WHAT IS ALREADY IN BLACK AND WHITE AT TOYOTA. HELP ME GET THIS CAR FIXED AT THEIR COST. IF THIS WAS NOT A REPEATING ISSUE, I WOULD GLADLY PAY FOR IT, BUT IT IS REPETITIVE!!!!!! THIS IS AN ON GOING THING AND STARTED ABOUT A U=YEAR AGO. MY CASE NUMBER WITH TOYOTA USA IS: 1709051915 WHERE I TALKED WITH THEM ABOUT THIS AT THE FIRST OF SEPTEMBER. THEY SAY ONCE A RECALL IS COMPLETE THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING IS HIGHLIGHTED ON THE ATTACHMENT DATED 10/3/2011

AIR BAGS, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THAT WAS NOT MY FAULT I WAS IN A ROAD WHERE THE SPEED LIIMIT WAS 25-35 MPH. MOSTLY A STRAIGHT ROAD A FEW SLIGHT CURVES. A CAR CAME OVER INTO MY LANE AND CAUSED ME TO SWERVE OUT OF THE WAY TO AVOID HITTING THAT PERSON HEAD ON. I WENT INTO A DITCH FULL OF HUGE ROCKS. THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED WHICH IN MY OPINION TFHEY SHOULD HAD, BUT FROM WHAT I HEAR IT MAY HAVE CAUSED EVEN MORE DAMAGE. ANYWAYS I COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE CAR WHO SWERVED INTO MY LANE. MY CAR WAS DAMAGED IT HIT STRAIGHT FORWARD INTO THE HUGE ROCKS. I WAS PRETTY SORE BUT DID NOT GO TO THE ER. MY CAR HAD A PRETTY GOOD AMOUNT OF DAMAGE BUT LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT OUT OF THE DITCH. IT BUSTED UP THE FRONT OF MY CAR NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDED, AND CAUSED QUITE THE DAMAGE TO MY FRONT PASSENGER TIRE. NORMALLY MY 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WOULD HAD BEEN RIIDING ON THAT SIDE. LUCKILY SHE WASN'T THAT DAY.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I JUST PURCHASED A 2017 COROLLA XSE IN FEB 2017. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL ON AND WAS TRAVELING TO WORK AT 05:15, AND I CAME TO AN OVERPASS AND ON THE WAY DOWN THE NORMAL OVERPASS OVER A CROSS STREET, I HEARD THE ENGINE REV AND I LOOKED AT THE TACH, AND IT WAS AT 5000 RPM. I WAS STARTLED. THE SAME THING HAPPENED AT THE NEXT OVERPASS. THIS TIME IT WAS 4000 RPM ALMOST AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS RATHER SHORT AVERAGE DOWNHILL. THIS IS STILL HAPPENING, BUT OCCASIONALLY IT DOES NOT. HOW COULD THIS POSSIBLY BE CORRECT. I CAN CONTROL THE SPEED QUITE NICELY WITH MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR WITHOUT HARDLY ANY VARIATION OF MY RPM'S. THIS JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT A LONG DOWNHILL ROAD THAT HAS A LANE FOR TRUCKS ON THE RIGHT, WHERE THEY WOULD HAVE TO DOWNSHIFT TO MAINTAIN A SAFE SPEED, THIS IS JUST OVERPASSES ON A FREEWAY SYSTEM. I ASKED MY SALESMAN, AND HE SAID THAT IT WAS PROBABLY NORMAL, AND I SAID HOW COULD IT BE NORMAL FOR THIS THING TO REV AT 5000 RPM ON A HOUSTON FREEWAY? I ONLY HAVE 5000 MILES ON THIS CAR. THIS WILL DEFINITELY AFFECT THE MILEAGE. I AM BESIDE MYSELF AT THIS POINT.
