AIR BAGS
I HAVE MY TOYOTA COROLLA 2003 AIR BAG LIGHT ON FOR 3 MONTHS NOW, THERE IS NO RECALL ACTIVATED OR THE BOTTOM LINE THERE IS NO LETTER OR A MESSAGE TO INFORM ME THAT MY CAR HAS TO BE FIXED. I DRIVE 150 MILES A DAY AND THE RISK IS HIGHER SINCE THE AIR BAG ARE NOT FUNCTIONAL. WHY DO WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR A CRASH AND DEATH OCCURS THEN PUSH FOR ACTIVATION FOR RECALL. ON YOUR WEBSITE YOU SUGGESTED TO CALL TOYOTA SERVICE, I DID , I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE FIX. NOT SURE WHERE TO GO AT THIS POINT. **** THE INCIDENT DATE ABOVE IS THE DATE THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT TURNED ON. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN
RE: TOYOTA 2007 COROLLA: WHEN DRIVING (IN REVERSE) OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE CAR WOULD SUDDENLY JERK, EMIT A LOT OF FUMES, AND IT WOULD TAKE OFF ON ITS OWN. PUTTING PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP THE CAR- ONLY TURNING OFF THE IGNITION KEY STOPS THE CAR. LAST TIME THIS OCCURRED WAS ON NOVEMBER 4, 2014. AFTER DRIVING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND CHANGING GEARS FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE, THE CAR AGAIN JERKED, MADE A LEFT TURN, DROVE ACROSS OUR LAWN, THROUGH THE BUSHES AND TO OUR NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR?S LAWN. WE ARE LUCKY THAT IT DID NOT SLAM INTO OUR HOUSE OR THE ELECTRIC POLE CLOSE TO OUR DRIVEWAY- EITHER ONE WOULD PROBABLY HAVE KILLED US. THE CAR HAS ITS OWN MIND AND DOES NOT RESPOND TO ANYTHING THAT THE DRIVER TRIES TO DO TO STOP THE CAR FROM MOVING OTHER THAN TURNING OFF THE IGNITION KEY. THE TOYOTA DEALER, OF COURSE, ASSERTS THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. *TR

STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES
MY WIFE WAS COMING BACK HOME AFTER DROPPING OUR 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AT THE SCHOOL. AT A SIGNAL, WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN AFTER A RED LIGHT STOP, THE STEERING WHEEL GOT STUCK IN THE RIGHT-TURNED POSITION ITSELF. IT COULD NOT BE BROUGHT BACK TO THE STRAIGHT POSITION FROM THE RIGHT-TURNED POSITION. IN FACT, BRAKES ALSO DIDN'T WORK AT THE SAME TIME. AS CAR WAS VERY SLOW (AS IT HAPPENED RIGHT AFTER THE STOP FOR MAKING THE RIGHT TURN AT THE RED LIGHT SIGNAL), MY WIFE, EVEN THOUGH PANICKED, QUICKLY HIT HARD AT THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH RELEASED THE STEERING WHEEL FROM STUCK POSITION. AFTER THIS SHE WAS ABLE TO BRING THE STEERING WHEEL BACK TO STRAIGHT-WHEEL POSITION AND APPLY THE BRAKES TOO. WE ARE NOT SURE IF WE'D RUN INTO THIS SITUATION AGAIN SO HAVEN'T DRIVEN THE CAR SINCE THEN. *TR

STEERING
I DON'T DRIVE THIS VEHICLE MUCH ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN COMING ON FOR SOME TIME. FOR THE LONGEST TIME I THOUGHT IT WAS THE WIND. IT'S NOT. THE VEHICLE FLOATS ON THE HIGHWAY AND REQUIRES MAXIMUM ATTENTION OR I'LL FIND MYSELF IN THE DITCH OR WORSE. I'VE HAD THE ALIGNMENT CHECKED AND THE TIRES ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE STEERING. I CALL IT MY "ALL OVER THE ROAD COROLLA." *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON A TRIP TO SOUTH CAROLINA FROM NEW JERSEY INTERSTATE DRIVING I EXPERIENCED AN ISSUE WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL. ISSUE IS : WHEN I COME UP ON SLOWER TRAFFIC AND HIT THE BRAKE THE CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGES AS IT SHOULD BUT WHEN I LET UP OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES RAPIDLY ON IT'S ON WITHOUT HITTING THE RESUME LEVER. THINKING QUICK I TURNED THE CRUISE OFF. THIS HAPPENED 6 TIMES ON THE ROUND TRIP I FINALLY QUIT USING THE CRUISE. THE TOYOTA DEALER SAID THERE IS NO RECALL OR ANYTHING FOR THIS ISSUE. I'M TELLING YOU THIS IS UNSAFE AS HELL! I HAVE AN EXTENSIVE MECHANICAL BACKGROUND, I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYBODY SAYS! I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER SAW IT HAPPEN TO. *TR

THIS CAR HAS ABOUT 75,000 MILES ON IT AND RESIDES IN FL. ABOUT 4 YRS. AGO THE DRIVERS SIDE HANDLE TO OPEN THE CAR STARTING TO ACTUALLY FALL APART. I HAD THAT ONE REPLACED BUT THE OTHERS ARE DOING THE SAME THING NOW. I NEVER KNEW THIS TO HAPPEN ON A CAR, REGARDLESS OF AGE. A NEIGHBOR OF MINE DOWN THERE ALSO SAID THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO HER CAR, ALSO THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR. I AM ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE AIRBAGS IN THIS CAR, AS I KEEP IT IN FLORIDA FOR USE WHEN I GO DOWN ABOUT FOUR MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR. *TR

THAT IS HOW THE ACCIDENT HAPPEN. ALSO THE AIRBAGS DID NOT OPEN WHEN MY CAR HIT THE OTHER CAR. *TR

SEATS
THE BACK SEATS DO ARE NOT ABLE TO BE OPENED FROM INSIDE THE CAR. THE TRUNK ALSO MALFUNCTIONED AND WILL NOT OPEN UP. IF THERE WAS A CHILD OR SOMEONE IN THE TRUNK, THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT WITHOUT PULLING APART THE WHOLE TRUNK ITSELF. I FIND THIS VERY DANGEROUS AND MAKES ME GRATEFUL ONE OF MY CHILDREN WEREN'T TRAPPED INSIDE WHEN IT DECIDED TO STOP WORKING PROPERLY. I WOULD LIKE TO FIND A RESOLUTION TO THIS MATTER SO THE SAFETY OF OTHERS IS NOT COMPROMISED! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TOYOTA SENT ME AN UNDATED NOTICE OF A LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN TO INSTALL SMART STOP TECHNOLOGY. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THE INSTALLATION, TOYOTA SAID I FIRST HAD TO HAVE AN INSPECTION BECAUSE I HAD ACTUALLY EXPERIENCED AN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION THOUGH THERE WAS NO DAMAGE OR INJURY. DESPITE MY DAILY PHONE CALLS, THEY HAVE YET TO SCHEDULE THAT INSPECTION AND TO INSTALL SMART STOP, LEAVING ME WITHOUT A CAR BECAUSE THEY TELL ME NOT TO DRIVE MINE UNTIL SMART STOP IS INSTALLED. *TR
