SERVICE BRAKES, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AT WORK (CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY EAST BAY IN HAYWARD CA) AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH. I APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE, BUT INSTEAD OF STOPPING, IT WENT OVER THE CURB, CROSSED THE WALKWAY, BROKE THROUGH AND KNOCKED OVER A LARGE BUSH, ROLLED DOWN AN INCLINE FOR 3-4 YARDS, AND STOPPED WHEN IT STRUCK A TREE. I BELIEVE THE INCIDENT APPEARS SIMILAR TO THE CURRENT INVESTIGATION UNDER NHTSA ACTION NUMBER DP14003. *TR

FLOOR MAT RECALL HAS BEEN DONE AND FIX WAS COMPLETED, HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED YET RE STEERING COLUMN CABLE REPAIR. A CHECK ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE OF MY SERIAL NUMBER DOES NOT INCLUDE THIS CAR IN THE ACCELERATION ISSUE.

CAN YOU REQUEST THIS OF MY DEALER - RUSSEL TOYOTA 6324 BALTIMORE NATIONAL PIKE (410-788-8400) - BALTIMORE, MD?? OTHERWISE, I WILL BE SCARED THAT THIS COULD OCCUR AGAIN AT ANY TIME!! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I PURCHASED MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA IN OCTOBER 2010, ABOUT A MONTH LATER I BEGAN NOTICING PROBLEMS WITH MY BRAKES. PRESSING THE BRAKES THERE IS A SLIGHT ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE, TAKING MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE THE CAR ALSO ACCELERATES BEFORE SLOWING DOWN, I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE ACCELERATION. TO THIS DAY, THE BRAKES STILL REGULARLY ACCELERATE. OTHERS WHO HAVE DRIVEN MY CAR IMMEDIATELY EXPERIENCE THE BRAKE ACCELERATION AND ARE VERY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING MY CAR. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES WHEN THE PROBLEMS BEGAN BUT THEY DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEMS (I DID KEEP THE WORK ORDER RECEIPTS), I HAVE NOT BEEN TO THE DEALER RECENTLY. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I TOOK MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S IN FOR SERVICE ON 9/26/14 AT VICTORY TOYOTA OF CANTON, MI 48188 FOR A REGULAR SERVICE. ALL SERVICE HAS BEEN COMPLETED AT VICTORY TOYOTA OF CANTON, MI 48188 SINCE I PURCHASE THE BRAND NEW VEHICLE FROM THEM. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE INFORMED ME THAT MY CAR HAD A TIMING COVER LEAK THAT WAS TO COST ME APPROXIMATELY $1,300.00 TO FIX AND THAT IF I CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT THE LEAK WOULD GET WORSE. I AM OUT OF MY TWO YEAR WARRANTY TIME PERIOD. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT MY CAR WAS THE 6TH THEY'D SEEN IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND ONE OF THEM WAS EVEN AS LOW AS $18,000 MILES. HE STATED THAT AT SOME POINT THERE WOULD PROBABLY BE A RECALL. I CALLED TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS AND OPENED CASE NUMBER [XXX] AND WAIT TO HEAR WHAT THEIR SOLUTION IS. I ADVISED THAT ANYTHING LESS THAN FULL REPAIR BY TOYOTA AT NO CHARGE TO ME WOULD BE UNACCEPTABLE. SUCH AN ISSUE SHOULD NOT POTENTIALLY HAPPEN IN A VEHICLE UNTIL 100,000 TO 110, 000 MILES. THE FACT THAT THE SERVICE REP SAID THAT MY CAR WAS THE 6TH THEY'D SEEN IN THE LAT TWO WEEKS IS A SERIOUS RED FLAG. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
