ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
GENTLE PERSONS I WOULD LIKE DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO A SAFETY ISSUE ASSOCIATED WITH MY VEHICLE (TOYOTA COROLLA 2007, VIN: [XXX]) LISTED ON NHTSA WEB SITE. HTTP://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/RECALLS/RECALLRESULTS.CFM?START=1&SEARCHTYPE=DRILLDOWN&TYPE=VEHICLE&YEAR=2006&MAKE=TOYOTA&MODEL=COROLLA&COMPONENT_ID=0&TYPENUM=1&SUBMIT=RETRIEVE+RECALLS&PRINTVERSION=YES I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING SIMILAR SUDDEN STOP PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V384000 NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: 2 INVESTIGATIONS FOUND COMPONENT: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING SUMMARY: TOYOTA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005-2008 COROLLA AND COROLLA MATRIX VEHICLES. THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) FOR THE SUBJECT MODELS EQUIPPED WITH THE 1ZZ-FE ENGINE AND TWO-WHEEL DRIVE MAY HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY MANUFACTURED. THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT A CRACK MAY DEVELOP AT CERTAIN SOLDER POINTS OR ON VARISTORS ON THE CIRCUIT BOARD. CONSEQUENCE: THERE ARE A VARIETY OF WARNINGS AND CONSEQUENCES ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEFECT. THE ENGINE WARNING LAMP COULD BE ILLUMINATED, HARSH SHIFTING COULD RESULT, THE ENGINE MAY NOT START, OR THE ENGINE COULD SHUT OFF WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN. AN ENGINE SHUTOFF WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN INCREASES THE RISK OF A CRASH. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING SUDDEN STOPS OF MY VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING THAT IS LIKELY RELATED TO THE ECM. A CASE HAS BEEN REGISTERED WITH TOYOTA NATIONAL HEAD QUARTER SUGGESTING TO CALL TOYOTA AT 800-331-4331. I CALLED AND SPOKE WITH [XXX] (APRIL 15, 2016 AT 11:05 CST). SHE REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY HELP ALTHOUGH I PROVIDED HER THE CASE NUMBER. SHE HANDLED THE CASE VERY RUDELY AND UNPROFESSIONAL, KEPT ME ON HOLD FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AND THEN GAVE ME THE SAME CASE NUMBER WITH NO FURTHER ACTION AND ENDED THE CALL. I AM ALSO NOTIFYING NHTSA ABOUT THE THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I WAS NOTIFIED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT A RECALL FOR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS WAS CURRENTLY IN PLACE. WHEN I TRIED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT, THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD BE A 4-6 MONTH WAIT! THAT'S A LONG TIME TO BE DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE OR ARE THEY DISCRIMINATING AGAINST AN OLDER MODEL TOYOTA? ANYTHING I CAN DO TO SPEED THIS UP?

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE MAIN FRONT LED LOW-BEAM IS A PROBLEM ON ALL TRIMS OF THIS CURRENT GENERATION. IT IS TOO BRIGHT AND BLINDS ONCOMING DRIVERS, THERE IS ALSO A HARD CUTOFF LINE IN WHICH YOU CAN'T SEE ANYTHING ABOVE IT. THEY ALSO POORLY LIGHT THE ROAD. THE BEAM GOES EVERYWHERE BUT THE ROAD. IT SEEMS THEY ARE INCORRECTLY AIMED. THERE IS ALSO A TAIL-LIGHT PROBLEM THAT AFFECTS THE HIGHER-END TRIMS OF THIS GENERATION. THERE IS A DRL OPTION, WHICH IS THE FIRST ONE, THAT TURNS ON THE FRONT LOW-BEAM, YOU CAN SEE THAT YOUR FRONT HEADLIGHTS ARE ON, BUT YOU DON'T REALIZE YOUR TAIL-LIGHTS AREN'T ON AND THAT YOU HAVE TO TURN THE STOCK AGAIN TO TURN THEM ON. THERE IS NO INDICATOR ON THE DASH THAT SIGNIFIES ANY SORT OF EXTERIOR LIGHTING IS ON BESIDES THE HIGH-BEAM. I'VE SEEN MULTIPLE COROLLA DRIVERS ON THE ROAD WITH ONLY DRLS ON AT NIGHT. THE LOWER END TRIMS DON'T SUFFER THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SEE THE DASH AT NIGHT WITHOUT TURNING ON THE TAILLIGHTS, THE HIGHER END TRIMS HAVE AN ALWAYS LIT DASH. THIS CREATES A HAZARD IN WHICH THE COROLLA IN FRONT OF YOU IS UNLIT IN THE REAR AND ALLOWS A REAR-END COLLISION BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SEE THEM.

FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR MODULE. POSSIBLY "TAKATA RECALL", THE LETTER I RECEIVED DIDN'T MENTION THAT. TODAY (4/15/2016) I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA. THE LETTER ISN'T DATED. IT MENTIONS THAT THE AIRBAG INFLATOR MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THAT PASSENGERS IN MY CAR HAVE BEEN, POTENTIALLY, AT SERIOUS RISK. THIS IS THE FIRST AND, SO FAR, ONLY CORRESPONDENCE THAT I HAVE RECEIVED ON THIS. THE LETTER SAYS THAT "THEY ARE CURRENTLY PREPARING PARTS FOR MY LOCATION" -- BUT WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER THEY ALREADY HAD THE PARTS IN, AND HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THESE REPAIRS FOR SOME TIME. BUT THEN WHY THE HELL AM I JUST HEARING ABOUT IT NOW??? I FEEL LIKE TOYOTA AND THE DEALER (FRONTIER TOYOTA IN SANTA CLARITA, CALIFORNIA) HASN'T REMEDIED THIS DEFECT WITHIN A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME.
