FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK AND DRIVING UP A HILL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (CEL) CAME ON AND THE ENGINE RAN ROUGH. I NURSED THE CAR UP THE HILL AND DROVE HOME. I FOUND THE GAS CAP WAS NOT TIGHT EVEN THOUGH IT HAD BEEN CLICKED ONE TIME WHEN THE TANK WAS FILLED JUST A FEW MINUTES EARLIER. A SEARCH FOR THIS ON THE INTERNET REVEALED THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. I TIGHTENED IT TO ONE CLICK, OF COURSE. A FEW DAYS LATER I BOUGHT A TOYOTA GAS CAP AT A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THIS SEQUENCE REPEATED MULTIPLE TIMES; CEL TURNED ON, ENGINE RUNS ROUGH, LOSE OF ENGINE POWER. IN ONE INSTANCE I WAS PASSING A CAR ON A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY WHEN THE ENGINE HESITATED AND THE CEL TURNED ON. IN ANOTHER INSTANCE I WAS TURNING LEFT TO GO SLOWLY UP A STEEP HILL WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. IN EVERY INSTANCE THE GAS CAP WAS LOOSE. IT HAPPENED ONCE WHEN I STARTED THE ENGINE IN A PARKING LOT. I'VE COME TO THE POINT OF CHECKING THE GAS CAP TO BE SURE IT WAS TIGHT EVERY TIME BEFORE I START THE ENGINE. IN EARLY 2015 I BOUGHT ANOTHER NEW TOYOTA GAS CAP AT A TOYOTA DEALER. IT'S NOW MARCH 31. THIS SAME SEQUENCE OF EVENTS... CEL COMES ON, ENGINE RUNS ROUGH, LOSE OF POWER FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS... HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 12 TIMES WITH THIS NEWEST GAS CAP IN LESS THAN THREE MONTHS. I ALWAYS TIGHTEN THE GAS CAP TO THE FIRST CLICK AS IT SHOULD BE. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS IF IT HAPPENS WHEN WE NEED MAXIMUM ENGINE POWER, AS IN PASSING. A SEARCH ON THE INTERNET SHOWS THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. COMMENTS ON BUYING NEW TOYOTA GAS CAPS AT AMAZON SHOW THAT STILL OTHERS ARE STRUGGLING WITH THIS. I CAN UNDERSTAND FAIR WEAR AND TEAR ON THE "O" RING IN THE CAP. BUT WHEN TWO NEW CAPS COME LOOSE AFTER BEING CLICKED AS INSTRUCTED THEN SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT. MECHANICS AT THE DEALERSHIP DON'T HAVE A GOOD ANSWER FOR THIS. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CAMELBACK TOYOTA TOOK CARE OF A RECALL ON THE WIRING HARNESS AND SINCE THAT DATE I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS - LOST MY KEYLESS ENTRY, LOST MY SPEEDOMETER, LOST MY HORN. D & B AUTO FOUND SOME PROBLEMS AT THE TUNE OF $428.70 (GOT MY HORN, SPEEDOMETER AND KEYLESS ENTRY WORKING AGAIN - THIS WAS 8/12/13). THEN APPROXIMATELY SEPTEMBER OR OCTOBER, MY CAR WOULD START LURCHING AND FELT LIKE IT WENT INTO NEUTRAL AND I WOULD LOOSE MY SPEEDOMETER - NO ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ONE - WE TRIED SEVERAL TIME TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG - D & B AUTO CHECKED OUT MY SPEED SENSORS AND FOUND THEM TO BE OKAY AND SUGGESTED IT WAS MY INSTRUMENT PANEL AND TOLD ME TO CALL DICK'S SPEED-0-TECH - I DID AND WAS INFORMED THAT IT COULD NOT BE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ON A 2003 TOYOTA COROLLA - SUGGESTED I CALL SAM'S COMPU -TECH - I DID AND HE SAID HE COULD NOT HELP ME UNTIL AN ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. IN THE MEANTIME I FOUND [XXX] THE TECH AND HE FOUND THE ECD CONNECTOR (E8) NOT FULLY SEATED (LOCKED) - NOT THIS IS AFTER THE RECALL BY CAMELBACK TOYOTA AND THEN I STILL HAD THE PROBLEMS OF THE CAR LURCHING, GOING INTO NEUTRAL AND LOOSING MY SPEEDOMETER SO [XXX] THE TECH CAME BACK AND WE SPEND APPROXIMATELY 8 HOURS CHECKING OUT THE INSTRUMENT CHANNEL AND GUESS WHAT WE FOUND (DONE BY CAMELBACK TOYOTA) - FIRST HE LOOKED AT THE WIRING UNDER MY DASH AND SAID "THIS IS NOT FACTORY" AND THEN WE FOUND 6 ZIP TIES HOLDING THE WIRES GOING INTO THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BOX AND AGAIN HE STATED THIS IS NOT FACTORY. WE FOUND THE WIRES WOULD NOT STAY IN THE BOX BECAUSE IT HAD OBVIOUSLY BEEN TWISTED - SO WE FIXED THEM AND THE CAR HAS BEEN OKAY SINCE - THIS WAS 10-20-14. NOW YOU ARE TELLING ME I HAVE ANOTHER RECALL ON THIS - I CANNOT GO THROUGH ALL THIS CRAP AGAIN SO WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

ACCORDING TO YOU, I HAVE BEEN DRIVING A KILLER CAR SINCE 2013. CONTACTING MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER, SEVERAL TIMES AND BRING IN MY VEHICLE FOR REPAIR HAS FAILED. YOU REGRET ANY INCONVENIENCE? DOES THAT COVER INJURY OR DEATH? I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER TOYOTA VEHICLE. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
I FOUND A CRACK ON MY CAR'S WINDSHIELD GLASS. I AM SURE THAT IT HAPPENED BECAUSE OF TEMPERATURE VARIATION. NOTHING WRONG HAPPENED TO MY CAR LIKE NO ONE HIT ANYTHING OR SOMETHING FELL ON THE CAR. I THINK MANUFACTURER SHOULD CONSIDER THE TEMPERATURE VARIATIONS IN THEIR MIND WHEN THEY ARE DESIGNING ANY PARTS OF THE CAR. IN ALL MODELS LIKE ME HAS A GAP BETWEEN WINDSHIELD AND BODY OF THE CAR. IF THAT GAP IS FILLED WITH ICE IT WOULD NOT ALLOW GLASS TO EXPAND WHEN TEMPERATURE GOES UP. COMPANY SHOULD FIX THAT GAP IN ALL OF ITS MODELS AND PROVIDE NEW GLASS TO EVERYONE WHO HAS A CRACK. IF CONSUMERS HAVE FIXED ALREADY MANUFACTURER SHOULD PAY FOR THAT. *TR

DEAR SIR OR MA'AM, MY MOTHER WAS TOLD BY HILLTOP TOYOTA IN RICHMOND, CA THAT THE RECALL NOTICE WAS AN INTERIM NOTICE, AND DID NOT PERFORM ANY REMEDY PROCEDURES. HOWEVER THE RECALL NOTICE RECOMMENDED US TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO DEALER IMMEDIATELY. THEREFORE WE BELIEVE SUCH ACTION IS DEEMED IRRESPONSIBLE AND THERE MAY BE OTHER CONSUMERS WHO COULD HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING. *TR
