I WAS SENT A LETTER FROM TOYOTA NOTIFYING ME THAT MY 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA S IS PART OF THE TEKATA AIR BAG INFLATOR MODULE RECALL I WAS INSTRUCTED TO TAKE MY CAR IN TO THE LOCAL DEALER TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED. THE TOYOTA FIX WHICH WAS NOT A FIX AT ALL WAS TO DISABLE MY FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG AND HANG A WARNING SIGN NOT TO HAVE ANYONE RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. IT HAS BEEN NEARLY THREE MONTHS THAT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO USE MY FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I FEEL THREE MONTHS IS MORE THAN LONG ENOUGH TO HAVE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED. I ONLY OWN ONE CAR AND NEED THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT TO PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION FOR MY FAMILY. I HAVE CALLED BOTH TOYOTA CORPORATE AND THE LOCAL DEALER AND NOT GETTING ANY RESOLUTION. *TR

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR, IT FEELS LIKE I HAVE THE CRUISE CONTROL. THE CAR DECELERATE VERY SLOWLY FOR ANYWHERE BETWEEN .5 TO 1 MILE THEN THE RPM DROPS SUDDENLY AS IT SHOULD WHEN YOU FIRST TAKE YOUR FOOT OF THE PEDAL. THE OTHER RELATED PROBLEM IS THAT IF I'M JUST TRYING TO MAINTAIN A CONSTANT SPEED ANYWHERE BETWEEN 50 AND 60 MILES/HR IT FEELS LIKE THE ENGINE STALLS FOR A VERY BRIEF MOMENT THEN SHORTLY AFTER COMES BACK TO THE ORIGINAL RPM. WHEN I DRIVE CAR DOWN HILL TRY TO APPLY BREAK TO MAINTAIN THE SPEED OF THE CAR ACCELERATION INCREASES SUDDENLY 3 TO 4 THOUSAND RPM AND AFTER 3 TO 4 SECONDS CARS COME TO NORMAL ENGINE RPM BOTH PROBLEMS DESCRIBE ABOVE ARE EASILY REPRODUCIBLE AND MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER SAID ITS NORMAL. ITS VERY SCARY TO DRIVE THIS CAR AND SINCE 3 YEARS I WAS COMPLAINING TO LOCAL DEALER AND GET SAME ANSWER EVERY TIME ITS NORMAL. PLEASE DO SOME THING ABOUT THIS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I DID NOT USE THE CAR THE WHOLE SATURDAY UNTIL 8 PM. IT WAS A VERY COLD DAY IN NY. I STARTED DRIVING AND THE BRAKES WORKED FINE FOR THE FIRST 4 MINUTES, BUT AFTER THAT I WAS GOING DOWNHILL AND THE BRAKES STOPPED WORKING (THEY GOT HARD TO PRESS) AND THE MORE THAT I PRESSED THEM THE RPM BECAME LOWER, I WAS ONLY ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BY SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL, PRESSING THE GAS AND THEN THE BRAKES FINALLY WORKED BUT THEN THE CAR TURNED OFF BY ITSELF. TOYOTA HAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM FOR COROLLA'S 09/10 BUT NOT FOR 06 SO WHEN I CALLED THEM THE REFUSED TO HELP EVEN THOUGH I TOLD THEM I ALMOST KILLED MYSELF, BEING ABLE TO STOP JUST A FEW FEET AWAY FROM AN INTERSECTION. *TR

AIR BAGS
I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL FROM TOYOTA ON MY CAR. THE SAFETY RECALL WAS FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATOR ASSEMBLY. THE NOTICE I RECEIVED INDICATED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER & THEY WOULD REPLACE THE INFLATOR ASSEMBLY. MY DAUGHTER HAS THE CAR AT COLLEGE & TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER FOR THE SAFETY RECALL. THE TOYOTA DEALER DID NOT REPLACE THE INFLATOR ASSEMBLY BUT INSTEAD TURNED OFF THE AIR BAG & PUT A STICKER ON THE DASHBOARD THAT NO ONE COULD RIDE IN THE FRONT SEAT. WHILE THIS TAKES CARE OF TOYOTA'S LIABILITY IT DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. THE DEALER MENTIONED THAT TOYOTA WAS NOT GOING TO REPLACE THE PART AT ALL. I SPOKE TO TOYOTA & THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD EVENTUALLY REPLACE THE PART BUT DID NOT KNOW WHEN. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS SEEM NOTICEABLY DIM AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING. I THOUGHT IT COULD BE MY EYES, BUT THEN A RIDER WITH ME NOTICED IT AS WELL AND MENTIONED IT TO ME, SO I KNOW IT IS NOT MY EYES. I PREFER NOT TO DRIVE AT NIGHT BECAUSE OF IT. I HAD MY GARAGE MECHANIC LOOK AT IT ABOUT A YEAR AGO TO SEE IF THE LIGHTS NEEDED ADJUSTMENT, AS BOTH HEADLIGHTS SEEMED OFF FROM EACH OTHER WHEN I AM PARKED IN MY GARAGE. I CAN'T REMEMBER IF HE TRIED TO MAKE AN ADJUSTMENT OR NOT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON DECEMBER 24TH 2014 I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE (2014 TOYOTA COROLLA S) IN (D) AND WAS TRYING TO SLOW DOWN, BECAUSE THE DRIVER IN FRONT OF ME BRAKE. WHEN I DEPRESSED MY BRAKE PEDAL THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED. I SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND CONTINUED TO BRAKE AND IT EVENTUALLY SLOWED ME DOWN. I SHIFTED BACK INTO (D) AND CONTINUED ON MY WAY, ALTHOUGH SHAKEN UP. THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE GOOD, THERE WAS NO RAIN OR ICE ON THE ROAD THAT DAY. I CHECKED MY FLOOR MATS TO SEE IF THEY WERE STICKING TO THE ACCELERATION PEDAL WHEN I GOT INTO THE DRIVEWAY, BUT I DID NOT NOTICE ANY SUCH DEFECT WITH THE FLOOR MATS STICKING TO THE PEDAL. A FEW WEEKS LATER DRIVING TO WORK ON 01/20/2015 AROUND THE SAME SPEED ON THE SAME ROAD CONDITIONS THE VEHICLE GAVE ME UNWANTED ACCELERATION AGAIN WHILE ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE. I PERFORMED THE SAME WAY I HAD PREVIOUSLY, I ENTERED INTO NEUTRAL AND BRAKED, EXCEPT THIS TIME I CAME WITHIN INCHES OF THE VEHICLE FORWARD OF ME. THE NEXT DAY ON 01/21/2015 WHILE DRIVING TO WORK THE VEHICLE AGAIN PERFORMED THE EXACT SAME MALFUNCTION AS THE PREVIOUS DAY. ON ALL DAYS THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE FINE AND SHOULD HAVE NOT AFFECTED THE VEHICLES PERFORMANCE. I DECIDED TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD LEASED THE VEHICLE. I SET UP AN APPOINTMENT AND HAD LEFT IT THERE 01/24/2015-01/26/2015. I RECEIVED THE VEHICLE BACK ON 01/26/2015 AND THE MASTER MECHANIC FOUND NO DEFECTS. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER WOULD CONTACT ME. AFTER HE HAD NOT FOR A FEW DAYS, I DECIDED TO CALL HIM. I HAD GOTTEN HIS VOICEMAIL AND LEFT A MESSAGE. TO DATE I HAVE STILL NOT RECEIVED A CALL BACK FROM THE SERVICE MANAGER. I HAVE DECIDED TO TAKE PRECAUTIONS AND BEGIN A VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLAINT. I WOULD LIKE THIS MATTER RESOLVED BEFORE MYSELF OR ANYONE ELSE BECOMES INJURED OR WORSE. *TR
