STRUCTURE:BODY, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE LOW-BEAM LIGHT DESIGN ON THE LENS COVER CUTS OFF THE TOP VIEW OF LIGHT AT NIGHT TIME. YOU SEE LIGHT FROM THE GROUND UP BUT ONLY HALFWAY UP. FROM THERE YOU ONLY SEE DARKNESS. IT LOOKS LIKE A HALF-LIT MOON BEAM FROM THE GROUND UP. YOU ONLY SEE THE BOTTOM HALF OF THE TREES IT IS LIKE A STRAIGHT LINE DRAWN BETWEEN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR VIEW IN FRONT OF THE CAR. WHITE ON THE BOTTOM HALF AND BLACK ON THE TOP HALF. I AM SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE MY CAR AROUND CURVES AND LULLS IN THE ROADS. YOUR NIGHT VISION IS EXTREMELY LIMITED. IT IS VERY STRAINING TO HAVE TO LOOK AHEAD AND AT THE SAME TIME YOU HAVE TO KEEP TWO DIFFERENT COLORS SEPARATED. *TR

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
THIS CAR IS NOW 12 YEARS OLD WITH TWO ACTIVE RECALLS INVOLVING SRS AND AIRBAG SYSTEM. TOYOTA KEEPS MODIFYING RECALL IN WHAT APPEARS TO BE A SCHEME TO RESET THEIR "REASONABLE" TIME CLOCK. IT IS APPARENT THAT THERE ARE ENOUGH OF THE REPLACEMENT SYSTEMS TO INSTALL IN NEW CARS, YET THERE IS A CONTINUOUS DELAY IN REPAIRING THE OLDER AUTOS NOW ON THE ROAD. ATTRITION IS NOT A FIX, AND THE VALUE OF MY CAR IS DOWN WITH THE CURRENT REMEDY OF "DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO USE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT", AND MY SAFETY IS BEING COMPROMISED. BY ANY SENSIBLE SCALE, TOYOTA'S "REASONABLE TIME" TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION HAS LONG PASSED. MODIFYING THE RECALL SHOULD NOT RELIEVE MANUFACTURERS OF THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

MY MOTHER IS 75 YEARS OLD. HERE COROLLA IS 6 YEARS OLD. SHE TOOK IT TO TOYOTA ON APRIL 23RD, 2015 FOR THE RECALL OF THE AIRBAG (SPIRAL CABLE SUB ASSEMBLY AND CABLE KIT) AND UPDATED SOFTWARE AND INSTALL UPDATE LABEL (SMART STOP TECHNOLOGY AND ELSBOS UPDATE ECM SOFTWARE) TO CORRECT THE RECALL ISSUE. SHE WAS SENT HOME AS IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FIXED. ON FRIDAY APRIL 24TH, 2015 AT 10PM SHE WAS DRIVING HOME FROM AN EVENT AT APPROX 45 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED. SHE TOOK IT TO TOYOTA THE NEXT DATE ON SATURDAY APRIL 25TH, 2015 AT 11:00 AM. TOYOTA INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND SENT HER HOME. ON THE WAY THE HOME THE SAME DAY AT 5:26PM SHE WAS GOING APPROX 10 MPH COMING THROUGH A LIGHT AND IT STALLED AGAIN. THE ENGINE KICKED BACK IN AND THEN IT STALLED AGAIN. HER VEHICLE WAS RUNNING FINE UNTIL TOYOTA CHANGED OUT THE RECALL PARTS. THERE IS SOMETHING VERY WRONG WITH THIS AND NEEDS ATTENTION. ALTHOUGH THERE WAS NOT ACCIDENT IT WAS A CLOSE CALL SHE WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED. I AM WRITING NOW BECAUSE SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH TOYOTA AND HER CAR NEEDS TO BE FIXED IN THE SAME CONDITION THAT IT WAS PRIOR TO GOING TO TOYOTA.
