ENGINE
MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I ALSO NOTICE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SLOW DOWN, THE CAR WOULD ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE WOULD SEEM TO STALL ALMOST LIKE A DEAD SPOT. THEN WHEN DEPRESSING THE GAS PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES THE ENGINE WOULD CATCH AND JUMP FORWARD. ALMOST HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US. THIS CAR ACCELERATES AT TIMES WHEN BRAKING AND HESITATES WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS. I ALSO NOTICED WHEN I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT, THE CAR MOVED BACKWARDS AFTER TAKING MY FEET OFF THE BRAKES. IT COULD'VE HIT THE CAR IN BACK OF US. I ASKED THE SALE LADY, IF THIS CAR WAS APART OF THE RECALL AND SHE TOLD ME THAT IF IT WAS THE DEALERSHIP WOULD HAVE TO FIX IT BEFORE THEY SOLD IT. I HAD THE CAR FOR LESS THAN 2 WEEKS. I HOPE THIS CAR DOESN'T CAUSE MY FAMILY AND SOMEONE ELSE'S FAMILY HARM. BIG SAFETY ISSUE! BIG SAFETY ISSUE! *JS

ENGINE
ON APRIL 28 2014 I RESERVED A RENTAL CAR FROM PRICELESS RENTAL CAR IN INGLEWOOD CA. UPON RECEIVING THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS NO INSPECTION OR ANY KIND OF WALK-AROUND TO ENSURE ITS CONDITION. I DROVE IT FROM LAX TO SAN FRANCISCO, AND DURING THE ENTIRE JOURNEY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND MY GAS MILEAGE EFFICIENCY WAS DROPPING RAPIDLY. THE VEHICLE ALSO SHOOK AT SPEEDS AROUND 60-70MPH AND WOULD JERK AND JOLT WHENEVER I APPLIED THE GAS PEDAL TO INCREASE RPM. I AM SURE THAT THERE IS NO VEHICLE INSPECTION OR MAINTENANCE OCCURRING ON A WEEKLY, MONTHLY, OR EVEN A DAILY BASIS. *TR

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL LETTER FROM TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, TORRANCE, CA ON 28NOV14. THE LETTER STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT I IMMEDIATELY TAKE MY 2004 TOYOTA COROLLA TO ANY AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE FRONT PASSENGER INFLATOR ASSEMBLY WOULD BE REPLACED AT NO CHARGE TO ME. I CONTACTED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT VALLEY HI TOYOTA, VICTORVILLE, CA, WHO I HAVE USED FOR ALL SERVICE ON BOTH MY TOYOTAS SINCE MOVING TO CA IN DEC 2013. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE RECALL ON MY VEHICLE WAS TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED AS TOYOTA HASN'T DECIDED HOW IT WILL ADDRESS THE ISSUE AND TO CALL BACK IN A FEW WEEKS. UNSATISFIED WITH THIS RESPONSE, I CALLED THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER WHERE I WAS INFORMED THAT BECAUSE I LIVE IN CA, AN AREA LACKING CONSISTENTLY HIGH ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY, MY VEHICLE IS NOT AUTHORIZED FOR A RECALL. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNSATISFACTORY. AS A MILITARY OFFICER, SINCE 2004 I HAVE LIVED IN TEXAS TWICE, ARIZONA, NORTH CAROLINA, GEORGIA TWICE, KENTUCKY, AND CALIFORNIA. I WOULD COUNT LIVING IN HOUSTON, TX, FORT BRAGG, NC, FORT BENNING, GA, AND FORT KNOX, KY AS HIGH ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY AREAS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT TOYOTA HAS DECIDED THE THRESHOLD IS FOR DETERMINING THAT MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO CONSISTENTLY HIGH ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY. I WILL TAKE LEGAL ACTION IF THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG IN MY VEHICLE DEPLOYS ABNORMALLY IN A CRASH, INJURING THE OCCUPANT. I WILL ALSO NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER TOYOTA AS SAFETY IS NOT THEIR TOP PRIORITY. *TR

I WAS PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY AT 1 MILE PER HOUR AND I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO STOP MY CAR AND IT WOULDN'T STOP! THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND MY CAR WENT THROUGH MY FENCE INTO MY BACKYARD. I TRIED IN VAIN TO STOP MY CAR, I KEPT PRESSING DOWN ON MY BRAKE, (5 TIMES) WITH NO SUCCESS. I FINALLY PUT MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION INTO PARK AND IT FINALLY CAME TO A STOP. I WAS EXTREMELY SHAKEN UP SINCE I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE! I CHECKED MY CAR FOR DAMAGES, I NOTICED THAT MY PASSENGER SIDE VIEW MIRROR WAS DAMAGED AND THERE WAS OTHER DAMAGE UNDER MY CAR. MY CAR IS ONLY 3 MONTHS OLD AND HAS 950 MILES ON IT. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR OVER 30 YEARS AND I HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED ANYTHING LIKE THIS. THIS HAPPENED ON NOVEMBER 27, 2014, THANKSGIVING DAY AT 10:00 AM. THE WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE CLOUDY WITH A TEMPERATURE OF 34 DEGREES. *TR

I DO NOT KNOW HOW MY CAR GOT SPUN AROUND TO FACE THE ROAD, AND I DO NOT KNOW WHY MY AIRBAGS DID NOT GO OFF. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST ACCIDENT THIS CAR HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN, AND THE LAST ONE MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY EITHER AND MY WHOLE FRONT END WAS A MESS. *TR

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES, STRUCTURE:BODY
I WAS APPROACHING A FOUR WAY STOP AT THE APPROPRIATE SPEED LIMIT OF 35MPH BEFORE THE IMPACT. AS I WAS GETTING CLOSER, I WENT AHEAD AND DECELERATED. I'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES IN THE PAST. AS I GOT CLOSER TO THE STOP SIGN, IN A BLINK OF AN EYE, I WAS BEING DRAGGED BY A LARGE CHEVY HEAVY DUTY TRUCK ACROSS THE INTERSECTION. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY EITHER. THE IMPACT COMPLETELY DISMANTLED MY FRONT END. AFTER THE PARAMEDICS AND FIRE FIGHTERS ARRIVE, I WAS RUSHED TO THE ER FOR REPORTED BACK AND NECK INJURIES. I WAS LOOKED OVER AND WAS DISCHARGED BARELY BEING ABLE TO WALK. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP QUITE A DISTANCE AWAY FROM MY HOME. MY INSURANCE SAID THE SHOP COULD BE TRUSTED. I ASKED OVER 20 PEOPLE AND EACH PERSON SAID THAT THE DAMAGE FROM THIS CAR HAS TO RESULT IN BEING TOTALED. THE MECHANIC SAID OTHERWISE. HE BEGAN WORKING ON THE CAR WITHOUT MY CONSENT AND DEMANDED; THREATENED MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO PAY HIM $4,000 FOR A FEW DAYS OF WORK AND $7,000 LATER ON. THIS WAS AFTER I HAD ALREADY SPOKEN WITH MY INSURANCE TO FILE THIS CAR AS BEING TOTALED. THE MECHANIC THREATENED FOR MONEY SAYING HE HAD ALREADY STARTED ON THE CAR WHEN HE NEVER EVEN TOUCHED IT AFTER 3 WEEKS. I USED TO TRUST TOYOTA VEHICLES, BUT AFTER THIS ACCIDENT I'M NEVER BUYING ANOTHER TOYOTA AGAIN. THE EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAM SAID IT WAS A MIRACLE THAT I WAS ALIVE. MY COMPLAINT IS THE AIRBAGS AND BRAKES FAILED TO DO THEIR JOB. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, ON SEPTEMBER 22, 2014. ON OCTOBER 21, THE VEHICLE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, I LET THE FINANCE COMPANY DIAMOND FINANCE KNOW THAT THIS LIGHT WAS ON, I BELIEVE THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO ALL COROLLAS BECAUSE THEY REALLY ARE NOT SAFE AND I CANT EVEN LET MY YOUNG CHILDREN SIT IN THE FRONT OF THIS CAR BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THIS AIRBAG WILL INFLATE. THE CAR IS ALSO MAKING A HORRIBLE LOUD NOISE, AND THE RE IS SOMETHING DEFINITELY WRONG WITH THE COOLANT SYSTEM ON THIS CAR. *TR
