EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY
I OWN A 2015 TOYOTA COROLLA S PREMIUM. IT HAS THE RADIO SYSTEM WITH BLUE TOOTH AND GPS. THE PROBLEM IS THAT WHILE I AM LISTENING TO THE RADIO AND THE GPS COMES ON GIVING DIRECTIONS, THE RADIO DOES NOT FADE SO THE RADIO AND THE GPS ARE TALKING OVER EACH OTHER AND I CAN'T UNDERSTAND THE GPS. BECAUSE OF THE CONFUSION OF BOTH VOICES I HAVE MADE THE WRONG TURN WHICH HAS ALMOST LED TO ACCIDENTS. 1-800 TOYOTA CLAIMS THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM BUT, EVEN MY DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT AGREES THERE IS. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS BUT, NOTHING IS REALLY BEING DONE.

SUSPENSION
HI, I HAVE REPLACED MY BRAKES LATE LAST YEAR BECAUSE THE BRAKES DON'T ENGAGE RIGHT. EVEN AFTER I REPLACED MY BRAKES, I STILL HAVE TROUBLE WITH THE BRAKES. LAST WEEK, I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK WITH MY SON IN MY CAR AND SOMEONE CUT ME OFF WITH A TURN INTO A SCHOOL. I HIT MY BRAKES REALLY HARD, BUT IT WAS SKIDDING/SLIDING. I TOOK MY CAR IN AGAIN FOR BRAKES CHECK AND LIKE LAST TIME, I WAS TOLD MY BRAKES WERE FINE. I ASKED THE MECHANIC WHY WAS MY CAR SLIDING/SKIDDING. MY CAR WAS DIAGNOSED WITH SHOCK/SUSPENSION ISSUE. WHICH I HAVE HAD ALL ALONG, BUT DIDN'T KNOW IT CAUSED MY BRAKES TO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I DRIVE VERY SHORT DISTANT TO WORK AND HOME AND I DO NOT ABUSE MY CAR, HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE. I WOULD LIKE AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS ISSUE, IT IS SAFETY SINCE THE CAR DOESN'T BRAKE PROPERLY.

POWER TRAIN
MY CAR MADE A SOUND LIKE ROCKS IN A BLENDER AND STOPPED MOVING FORWARD. I SHIFTED IN TO NEUTRAL AND COASTED TO A STOP. THE SOUND WAS FROM THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION.I TRIED TO SHIFT BACK INTO GEAR (DRIVE) BUT WAS UNABLE TO GET IT TO GO INTO DRIVE AND THE SOUND THE TRANS WAS MAKING WAS TO SAY THE LEAST HORRIBLE . AT THE TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS HEADING FOR THE ON RAMP TO INTERSTATE 90. I HAD FOUR CHILDREN IN THIS CAR AND CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT THE OUTCOME WOULD HAVE BEEN IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ONE MINUTE LATER!!! I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND DID NOT RESTART IT.I HAD TOWED TO MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE INFORMED ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED!! $3600.00 FOR A TRANSMISSION AND MY CAR HAS ONLY BEEN DRIVEN 53000 MILES! THIS IS MY 8TH TOYOTA AND POSSIBLY LAST!! I WILL SEE WHAT TOYOTA HAS TO SAY. SO FAR ,THEIR ONLY OFFER(YOUR TRANSMISSION IS BAD). NO REASON WHY!! THIS IS NOT THE QUALITY OWNERS OF THIS CAR BRAND HAVE COME TO RELY ON!!

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHILE MAKING A 90 DEGREE TURN FROM THE ROADWAY INTO A PARKING SPACE I HEARD A LOUD SNAPPING, BANGING NOISE FROM THE RIGHT FRONT OF MY VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE CAME TO AN ABRUPT STOP. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND CHECKED THE FRONT SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AND WAS ALARMED TO FIND THAT MY RIGHT FRONT WHEEL WAS POINTED IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF MY LEFT FRONT WHEEL AND UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION FOUND WHAT APPEARS TO BE A SNAPPED TIE ROD END OR LOWER CONTROL ARM. THE FOLLOWING MORNING I HAD A TOW TRUCK HAUL THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER THAT I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER WAS ABLE TO STRAIGHTEN OUT THE WHEEL IN ORDER TO GET THE VEHICLE ON THE TRUCK. THE DRIVER COMMENTED " YOU ARE SOME FORTUNATE THAT YOU WEREN'T TRAVELING ANY FASTER YOU WOULD HAVE NO CONTROL OVER YOUR STEERING!" THE DEALER LET ME KNOW THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDS AN INNER AND OUTER TIE ROD, SWAY BAR LINK, A STRUT ASSEMBLY AND A NEW AXLE!! THE DEALER FURTHER WENT ON TO SAY THAT THE PARTS ARE ALL UNDER WARRANTY SO YOU ARE ALL SET!! I ASKED, HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 11,800 MILES COULD HAVE HAD SUCH A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. THE ANSWER, WE ARE NOT SURE AT THIS POINT THE PARTS WILL BE SHIPPED BACK TO THE FACTORY.

STRUCTURE
MANY YEARS AGO I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR MAT OF MY 2003 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE FIX BY TOYOTA WAS TO INSTALL FLOOR ANCHORS TO HOLD THE FLOOR MAT IN A STABLE POSITION SO IT COULD NOT SLIDE AROUND. THE FIX WORKED FOR A FEW YEARS, THEN THE ANCHORS BROKE. I PAID TOYOTA FOR NEW ANCHORS WHICH AGAIN FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR SOME TIME. RECENTLY, THE ANCHORS AGAIN FAILED AND I WILL AGAIN NEED NEW ANCHORS TO STABILIZE THE FLOOR MAT. I THINK TOYOTA SHOULD COME UP WITH A MORE PERMANENT FIX FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE. UPDATED 7/20/15*CN UPDATED 11/13/15 *JS

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TRAVELED APPROXIMATELY 80 MILES ROUND TRIP. PULLED INTO DRIVEWAY OF PASSENGER AND STOPPED. CAR WAS IDLING THEN SUDDENLY SURGED FORWARD. HAD TO STOMP ON BRAKE HARD, BUT STILL HIT GARAGE DOOR CAUSING DAMAGE. THIS WAS THE THIRD INCIDENT WITH MY CAR AND I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN I SLOWED AT A STOP LIGHT WHICH WAS GREEN PREPARING TO TURN RIGHT. THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND I STOOD ON THE BRAKE AS I TURNED THE CORNER. THE CAR SOUNDED LIKE ALL THE BOLTS AND MOTOR WERE FALLING OUT BEFORE IT RIGHTED ITSELF. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED FREQUENTLY SINCE THE FIRST EVENT: FOR NO KNOWN REASON, ENGINE RPMS DROP TO POINT WHERE VEHICLE BARELY MOVING. CAN SHUT VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART AND PROBLEM GOES AWAY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON BUT NO HELP IN DIAGNOSIS. BEEN TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. REPLACED ECM AND TRIED OTHER POSSIBLE "FIXES". SO FAR, HAS ONLY OCCURRED IN RURAL AREAS AT SPEEDS OF 35 MPH OR LESS. FORTUNATELY NOT MUCH TRAFFIC. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL GO OFF BY ITSELF AS PROBLEM "FIXES ITSELF". A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION BUT NO ANSWERS FROM DEALER OR MANUFACTURER.

AIR BAGS
I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA LE IN JUNE 2007. ON JUNE 2, 2015, AIRBAG MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON ON DISPLAY. FOLLOWING "OWNER'S MANUAL" THAT CAME WITH VEHICLE, I CONTACTED A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER, WHO SCHEDULED ME FOR A JUNE 11, 2015 APPOINTMENT. UPON TAKING MY CAR TO TOYOTA DEALER FOR INVESTIGATION ON WHAT COULD BE WRONG, TOYOTA DEALER FOUND LEFT FRONT SRS SENSOR TO HAVE FAILED AND CENTER SRS SENSOR IS POOR/INTERMITTENT SIGNAL. I ASKED TOYOTA DEALER WHAT CAUSED THESE SENSORS TO BE DEFECTIVE, TOYOTA DEALER SAID THEY DID NOT KNOW. I THEN ASKED IMPLICATION(S) OF DEFECTIVE SENSORS, TOYOTA DEALER SAID IN THE EVENT OF IMPACT AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. I CONTACTED TOYOTA USING ONLINE FORM (HTTP://WWW.TOYOTA.COM/SUPPORT/#!/APP/ASK) ON JUNE 14, 2015. TOYOTA CALLED ME ON JUNE 15, 2015 BUT DID NOT OFFER AN EXPLANATION THAT SOUNDED REASONABLE. I WAS TOLD BY TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE (REP) THAT IT COULD BE FROM WEAR. I ASKED TOYOTA HOW SENSORS CAN GET DAMAGED IF NOTHING HAS EVER BEEN IN AREA OF SENSORS LOCATION TO CAUSE ANY WEAR OR DAMAGE. I THEN TOLD HER I HAVE ONLY HAD ROUTINE MAINTENANCE DONE SUCH AS OIL CHANGE, AIR FILTER CHANGE, TIRE REPLACEMENT ETC DONE AND THAT I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN A CRASH FOR AS LONG AS I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. I THEN ASKED HER HOW LONG SENSORS CAN BE EXPECTED TO LAST WITHOUT DAMAGE AND/OR WEAR AND SHE DID NOT KNOW. SHE SAID MANAGER OF TOYOTA DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM WILL CONTACT ME ON JUNE 17, 2015. SOMETHING TELLS ME TOYOTA IS NOT GOING TO ACCEPT THIS IS TOYOTA'S FAULT HENCE I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT. THANK YOU....UPDATED 07/30/15 *BF UPDATED 11/9/2015*JS
