VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON 21 OCTOBER 2016 AT APPROXIMATELY 9:30 AM, I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WITH MY 2009 COROLLA. I WAS PARKING THE CAR IN THE PARKING LOT AT THE EMBASSY SUITES HOTEL IN NORMAN, OK WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. I REVERSED THE VEHICLE TO STRAIGHTEN IT UP IN IN A PARKING SPACE; THEN, I PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE TO PULL FORWARD. AS THE CAR STARTED TO ROLL FORWARD, IN AN INSTANT, THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE SELF -ACCELERATED TO FULL THROTTLE. WITH MY LEFT FOOT ON THE FOOT REST PEDAL (DEAD PEDAL) AND RIGHT FOOT FULLY DEPRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM FUNCTIONED PROPERLY MAKING AN AUDIBLE CLICKING SOUND AS THE CAR CONTINUED DARTING FORWARD AT FULL THROTTLE. WITH THE VEHICLE AT APPROXIMATELY A 30 DEGREE ANGLE TO THE CURB IN FRONT OF THE PARKING SPACE, THE FORWARD MOMENTUM OF THE VEHICLE WITH THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM FULLY ENGAGED, THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WHEEL BOUNCED OVER THE CURB, THE PASSENGER'S SIDE FRONT WHEEL STOPPED AGAINST THE CURB AND THE ENGINE SELF-DECELERATED. AS THE ENGINE DECELERATED, AN AUDIBLE CLICKING SOUND COULD BE HEARD COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT THAT STOPPED AS THE ENGINE RETURNED TO AN IDLE. I HAVE NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHAT CAUSED THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE TO SELF-ACCELERATE TO FULL THROTTLE, NOR CAN I EXPLAIN WHY IT SELF-DECELERATED BACK TO AN IDLE. POSSIBLY, THE VEHICLE HITTING THE CURB WITH THE DRIVER'S FRONT WHEEL AND BOUNCING OVER THE CURB COULD HAVE CAUSED THE ENGINE TO SELF-DECELERATE. THERE WAS NO PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE INVOLVED IN THE INCIDENT. HAD A PERSON BEEN WALKING IN FRONT OF MY CAR IN THE PARKING LOT DURING THE SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION EVENT, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED IF NOT KILLED. THE FOWLER TOYOTA DEALERSHIP OF NORMAN, OK EVALUATED THE VEHICLE AND CONCLUDED THE INCIDENT WAS CAUSED BY MISAPPLICATION OF PEDAL. AN EDR WAS DOWNLOADED, EVALUATED AND INCONCLUSIVE.

TAKATA RECALL ZONE A - G0P (INTERIM G1P) RED ZONE. NHTSA RECALL NO. 16V-340. I RECEIVED A TAKATA PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG RECALL NOTICE A YEAR AGO MAY 2016 WHEN I STILL LIVED IN ZONE A FLORIDA. TOYOTA SAYS IT STILL HASN'T FOUND A REMEDY, WHATEVER THAT MEANS, AND KEEPS TELLING ME I CAN BUY A NEW CAR. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, I HAVE SOME THOUGHTS ON WHAT TOYOTA CAN DO. NEWSPAPERS KEEP REPORTING THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVEN'T TAKEN THEIR VEHICLES IN FOR TAKATA RECALL REPAIRS. I BELIEVE THE REAL PROBLEM IS THAT TOYOTA IS DRAGGING ITS FEET. MY DAUGHTER'S SUBARU HAD A TAKATA RECALL THIS SPRING AND HER DEALER FIXED IT THE NEXT WEEK! WE BOTH LIVE IN COLUMBUS, OH NOW. I HAVE TO HAUL MY GRANDCHILDREN SO I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT HOW TOYOTA IS DRAGGING ITS FEET.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED AN INTERIM NOTIFICATION ONE YEAR AGO AND THE REPAIR HAS STILL NOT BEEN DONE. ON THE NOTIFICATION THAT UNTIL THE REMEDY BECOMES AVAILABLE THEY RECOMMEND THAT WE DO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS TAKING AWAY THE USE OF THE CAR FOR OVER A YEAR AND WE STILL HAVE NO REPAIR DATE IN SIGHT. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING
WHILE GOING DOWN A WINDING ROAD, THE CAR UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED AT A VERY HIGH SPEED AND VEERED TO THE RIGHT AND THE BODY WAS DAMAGED COSTING OVER $4000. IT WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER; THEY ALLEGEDLY PLACED IT ON A SCANNER AND CLAIMED NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT NOT SHOW ANY 'CODES.' I HAVE BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE RECENT RECALLS AND ACCELERATION PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODEL AND WOULD LIKE TOYOTA TO PERFORM A MORE THOROUGH INSPECTION.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE COMPLAINT IS WITH THE RADIO. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION ON THE STREET WHEN IT ALL OF A SUDDEN RESTARTED ITSELF. I THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT ONLY BECAUSE IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE EXCEPT EVERYTHING WENT BACK TO NORMAL AND WORKED PROPERLY. BUT NOW AFTER THAT HAS HAPPENED IT DOESN'T STOP DOING THAT. IT DIDNT EVEN FULLY RESTART ITSELF. IT JUST KEEPS RESTARTING TO WHERE I CAN'T USE THE RADIO, NAVIGATION OR ANYTHING NOT EVEN THE AUX CORD OR USB PORT TO PLAY ANY MUSIC OF SOME SORT. I HAVE TRIED PARKING AND LET IT DO ITS THING AND NOTHING IT STILL CONTINUES TO RESTART.
