TAKATA RECALL FOR TOYOTA AIR BAG INFLATORS FROM JUNE 2015 FOR A TOYOTA COROLLA 2006. I HAVE NOW WAITED 6 MONTHS FOR THIS RECALL PART: CALLING TOYOTA ONE TIME AND CHECKING ONLINE 2- 3 TIMES OVER THE LAST 6 MONTHS FOR RECALL INFORMATION. I STILL HAVE NO INFORMATION ON THE STATUS OF THE PART OR THE REPAIR, AND I HAVE TO HAVE ANY PASSENGER RIDE IN THE BACK SEAT PER TOYOTA'S SAFETY RECALL NOTICE. MY AIR BAG PASSENGER LIGHT HAS NO STATUS WHETHER ON OR OFF WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ON, STATIONARY OR IN MOTION, AND "AIRBAG" IS JUST LIT UP. THE AIR BAG LIGHT USE TO SAY "AIRBAG ON" WHEN A PASSENGER OR A HEAVY OBJECT WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND "AIRBAG OFF" WHEN THERE WAS NO PASSENGER OR HEAVY OBJECT. THE LIGHT ON NOW JUST SAYS "AIRBAG" FOR ABOUT THE LAST FOUR MONTHS, AS OF SEPTEMBER. I BELIEVE TEMPERATURE CHANGES AND HUMIDITY IN THE CAR HAS CAUSED THIS ISSUE FIRST, IN EITHER THE CAR'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND / OR FUSE AREA THAT CONTROLS THE ENTIRE AIRBAG. THEN A MALFUNCTION OF THE AIR BAG NOTIFICATION LIGHTS MAY HAPPEN, IN ADDITION TO THE AIR BAG INFLATORS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THIS MAY HAPPEN WITH THE NOTIFICATION LIGHTS ETC SINCE THE WHOLE AIRBAG PART IS NOT WATERPROOF OR AN ADDITIONAL PART WAS NOT WATERPROOFED DURING MANUFACTURING. OTHER THAN THAT- UNKNOWN.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE NEW TOYOTA COROLLA'S HAVE SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THEIR HEADLIGHT DESIGN. FIRST, THE DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS ON VEHICLES WITH THE XENON OR LED LIGHTS APPEARS TO BE THE SAME LIGHTS THAT RUN AT NIGHT WHEN YOU TURN ON THE SWITCH. THIS MEANS THAT PEOPLE IN ONCOMING LANES CONSTANTLY FLASH THEIR LIGHTS THINKING THE BRIGHT LIGHTS ARE ON DURING THE DAY BECAUSE IT IS EXTREMELY BRIGHT. I'VE ALSO NOTICED THAT A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME CAR DON'T REALIZE THEY HAVE TO MANUALLY TURN ON THEIR LIGHTS SINCE THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS IS THE SAME AS WHEN THE SWITCH IS TURNED ON. PEOPLE MUST THINK THEY HAVE AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS AND SUBSEQUENTLY FAIL TO TURN THEIR LIGHT SWITCH ON WHICH MEANS THEY HAVE NO REAR LIGHTS. I CAN SEE THIS CAUSING SO MANY ACCIDENTS, ESPECIALLY IN THE RAIN OR AT NIGHT. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. PEOPLE HAVE ALSO COMPLAINED TO ME THAT IT LOOKS LIKE THE BRIGHT LIGHTS ARE ON WHEN THEY'RE NOT AND THE HEADLIGHTS ARE "BLINDINGLY BRIGHT", BUT HOW THE LIGHTS ARE AIMED OR DESIGNED, THEY DON'T CAST MUCH LIGHT ON THE ROAD AHEAD. IT SEEMS LIKE THE LIGHT IS JUST DIFFUSED IN ALL DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS INSTEAD OF IN A BEAM LIKE NORMAL HEADLIGHTS. THERE IS A HUGE ISSUE WITH THESE NEW COROLLA MODELS' LIGHTING SYSTEMS AND TOYOTA NEEDS TO RETROFIT THEM IMMEDIATELY TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS. IN ADDITION, THIS CAR BASICALLY HAS NO POWER WHICH MAKES IT NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE TO PULL OUT IN TRAFFIC AS THE AWFUL CVT TRANSMISSION TAKES FOREVER TO RESPOND. ONCE THE ENGINE HAS FINALLY WOKEN UP FROM ITS SLEEP, IT OFFERS TERRIBLE RESPONSE AND IS EXTREMELY SLOW PICKING UP SPEED. THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH ALL COROLLA'S BECAUSE OF HOW HEAVY THE CAR IS FOR HOW LITTLE POWER TOYOTA GIVES IT. I ALSO HATE THE HUGE BLIND SPOTS CREATED BY THE AWKWARDLY SHAPED REAR END. I'M GLAD THIS IS JUST A RENTAL CAR, BUT I FEEL SO BAD FOR OWNERS OF THIS TYPE OF CAR.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY CAR HAD DIFFICULTY STARTING AFTER GETTING THE NEW BATTERY LAST MONTH, AND A COUPLE DAYS AGO MY ENGINE STALLED AS I SLOWED IT DOWN TO STOP IN THE BUSY TRAFFIC ROAD WHILE I WAS GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT CHECKED. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP ASSUMING THAT A WRONG BATTERY WAS INSTALLED, BUT IT TURNED OUT TO BE A BAD ECM. I HAD TO GET IT FIXED BY PAYING OVER $800. THE THING IS THE ECM UNIT IN MY CAR WAS A REPLACED ONE IN THE PAST AS THE TOYOTA RECALLED IT. I AM REALLY SCARED OF DRIVING MY CAR NOW BECAUSE IT MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN IN THE FUTURE, AND I WONDER IF TOYOTA KNOWS THIS ISSUE THAT THE ECM DOES NOT RECOGNIZE A NEW BATTERY WELL. I READ THE SAME STORY WHILE SEARCHING FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR
