ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
OCTOBER 2013, MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING HER 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA IN SOUTHERN CA, WHEN SMOKE STARTED TO FILL THE CAR. THE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE MASTER WINDOW SWITCH. THE SMOKE LASTED A FEW MINUTES, AND A BURNING SMELL OF PLASTIC ALSO FILLED THE CAR. THE CAR WAS STILL ABLE TO DRIVE, BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I TOOK A LOOK AT THE SWITCH, NONE OF THE SWITCHES AT THE MASTER CONTROL WERE WORKING AND ALL FELT COMPLETELY LOOSE. I PULLED THE SWITCH PANEL AWAY FROM THE DOOR AND COULD SEE HOW THE PLASTIC WAS COMPLETELY MELTED AND HAD BURNED HOLES THROUGH THE SWITCH. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND ALL THEY COULD SAY WAS THAT THERE WAS NOT A RECALL ON THIS VIN# AND THEY WOULD NOT TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT THEY WERE AWARE OF PROBLEMS ON OTHER VIN #'S IN THE SAME MODEL. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A FIRE HAZARD WITH THIS CAR AND TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT IT. WHAT DOES IT TAKE FOR A LARGE COMPANY TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF A KNOWN PROBLEM? I RECENTLY CALLED THEM AGAIN TO SEE IF THEY HAVE ISSUED A RECALL AND STILL HAVE NOT. NOW I AM EVEN MORE UPSET! *TR

UNDER CERTAIN LIMITED CONDITIONS, THE TRUNK DOESN'T HOLD OPEN BY ITSELF. ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE WHEN PARKED FACING UPHILL IN OWNER'S DRIVEWAY. OWNER HAS UNEXPECTEDLY BEEN HIT IN THE HEAD SEVERAL TIMES WHILE RETRIEVING CARGO BECAUSE THE TRUNK JUST COMES DOWN HARD FROM THE FULLY OPEN POSITION. SEVERAL TIMES WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE LATCH AREA OF THE TRUNK LID HAS IMPACTED OWNER'S HEAD. THIS LATCH IS ONLY COVERED BY A SMALL PLASTIC PIECE, OTHERWISE IT'S METAL. THE OWNER HASN'T BEEN INJURED, BUT IT HAS CAUSED THEM PAIN EACH TIME IT HAPPENS. OWNER HAD IT CHECKED AT A TOYOTA DEALER. THEY SAID IT OCCURS BECAUSE AN AFTERMARKET REAR SPOILER WAS INSTALLED BY A PRIOR OWNER. DEALER SAYS THIS AFTERMARKET SPOILER IS TOO HEAVY, CAUSING TRUNK NOT TO STAY OPEN. DEALER OFFERED TO REMOVE SPOILER FOR A FEE. WE'VE SINCE DISCOVERED TOYOTA HAS ISSUED A TSB THAT TELLS DEALERS TO REPLACE ONE OR BOTH TORSION BARS FOR THIS CONDITION. WE'D LIKE TO NHTSA TO REVIEW THIS & SEE IF ENOUGH OTHER COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO CONSIDER A RECALL. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
IN SEPTEMBER 2013 I HAD MY CAR INSPECTED BY MY MECHANIC AND IT PASSED INSPECTION. THEN IN DECEMBER 2013 I NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE. MY MECHANIC SUGGESTED I WINTERIZE IT, SO I DID. HE DID THE FOLLOWING: CHANGED OIL AND FILTER, LUBE CHASIS, FLUSH RADIATOR, ADDED NEW ANTIFREEZE, ROTATED TIRES, CHECKED BRAKES, DAX COOL; CABIN FILTER: REMOVED OLD CABIN FILTER, CLEANED OUT AIR BOX AND INSTALLED NEW FILTER; FUEL INJECTOR CLEAN: CLEANED AND FLUSHED INJECTOR SYSTEM; BELT - REMOVED AND REPLACED LISTED BELTS, ADJUSTED TENSION; BATTERY - CHECKED CHARGING AND STARING SYSTEM, INSTALLED NEW BATTERY AND CLEANED CABLE ENDS. I DONT KNOW IF IT WAS BECAUSE OF WHAT WAS DONE ABOVE BUT PERIODICALLY MY CAR WOULD NOT STOP IMMEDIATELY AT A RED LIGHT IT SKIDDED A LITTLE. THEN EVENTUALLY MY CAR WOULD SPEED UP ON ITS OWN SO I WOULD HAVE TO BRAKE AND THEN DRIVE AT A REALLY LOW SPEED. THEN ON APRIL 2, 2014 I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO MY MECHANIC AND HE CHECKED 4 WHEEL BRAKE AND HYDRAULIC SYSTEM, CLEANED AND ADJUSTED BRAKES, TOPED OFF FLUID. EVERY TIME I DID BRING MY CAR INTO THE MECHANIC THEY WOULD ROAD TEST IT AND TELL ME THE CAR IS NOW DRIVABLE. HOWEVER, WHEN I WOULD DRIVE THE CAR IT FELT AS IF I HAD TO NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR. SATURDAY, APRIL 5, 2014 I TOOK IT OVER TO TOYOTA AND THEY DID A GENERAL INSPECTION, THEY TOLD ME THE BATTERY IS FINE, THEY ALSO DID AN OIL CHANGE, AFIX STICKER AND RESET MAINTENANCE REMINDER. THEY TEST DROVE AS WELL AND TOLD ME EVERYTHING IS FINE. HOWEVER, AS I DROVE THIS PAST MONTH I FELT AS IF I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR. MY FOOT WAS NOT REALLY ON THE GAS PEDAL. BEFORE THE WINTERIZED I WOULD DRIVE ALL OVER TOWN AND WOULD PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS AT THE LEVEL I WANTED IT TO GO. NOW I DO NOT PUT ANY REAL PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR SEEMS TO GO ON ITS OWN. *JS

STEERING
I'VE BEEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE NOW FOR ALMOST 5 YRS. SINCE THE DAY I GOT INTO IT, THE THING WALKS THE HIGHWAY (40 MPH+) CONTINUALLY. ON A TRIP OVER TWO HOURS, YOU START TO GET EXHAUSTED FROM THE CONTINUOUS WEAVING BACK AND FORTH, LIKE A SIDE WIND KEEPS ALTERNATING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT TO LEFT TO RIGHT ECT... ALIGNMENTS, NEW TIRES, ECT CHANGES NOTHING... SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG WITH EITHER THE DESIGN OF THE FRONT END, OR THE STEERING. I JUST WANT TO ADD MY NAME TO THE COMPLAINTS, BEFORE THIS PROBLEM IS ACTUALLY PROVEN TO BE FAULTY AND KILLS MULTIPLE VICTIMS. AFTER 70K, TIRED OF A VEHICLE WHICH WEARS ON ONE'S NERVES... *TR

AIR BAGS
THE AIRBAG LIGHT IN OUR 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA (IDIOT LIGHT) CAME ON. WHEN WE INQUIRED WITH THE DEALER, COLONIAL TOYOTA IN LINCOLN, RI (HTTP://WWW.COLONIALTOYOTA.COM) TOLD US THAT IT WILL BE COVERED IN THE MOST RECENT RECALL BUT THEY ARE NOT COVERING IT YET. THEY REFUSE TO FIX THE AIRBAG UNTIL THEY CAN BE REIMBURSED FOR IT. ACCORDING TO TOYOTA CORPORATE, THIS WILL BE SEPTEMBER 2014. I FIND THIS UNACCEPTABLE AS WE NOW HAVE A VEHICLE WITHOUT AN AIRBAG. NOR COULD WE SELL THE VEHICLE AS IT WOULD NOT PASS INSPECTION. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE, SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE WAITING FOR THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TO CHANGE AND MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES, THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND DESPITE SHIFTING TO PARK AND PULLING ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE THE CAR CONTINUED TO REV VERY HIGH FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. JUST PRIOR TO ACCELERATION, THE CAR'S BRAKES BECAME VERY SOFT AND SUNK ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR OF THE CAR AS IF SOMEONE HAD DEPRESSED THE POWER IN THE BRAKE LINE. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND WAITED FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES AND RESTARTED THE CAR. THE ENGINE RACED AGAIN AT VERY HIGH SPEEDS WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON AND THE CAR SET AT "PARK." I TURNED THE CAR OFF AGAIN AND WAITED FIVE MINUTES. THE CAR STARTED NORMALLY AND I THEN CALLED MY WIFE TO PICK ME UP. SHE DROVE THE CAR BACK HOME AND NOTICED THE BRAKES WERE VERY MUSHY AND SHE FELT A SLIGHT ACCELERATION. WE TOOK IT TO OUR TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SINCE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND ASSERTED THAT I DEPRESSED BOTH THE BRAKE AND THE GAS PEDAL AT THE SAME TIME, WHICH IS UTTERLY RIDICULOUS. WE HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR 18 MONTHS AND NOTHING LIKE THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED. THERE WERE MORE THAN FIVE WITNESSES TO THIS AS I HAD BLOCKED TRAFFIC AT THE LIGHT'S INTERSECTION WHILE OTHER CARS WENT AROUND ME WHILE THE CAR WAS RACING. I HAVE FILED AN INCIDENT REPORT WITH TOYOTA BUT IT DOES NOT LOOK AS IF ANYTHING WILL BE DONE WITH THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION ISSUE. I AM A FORMER LAWYER AND I TAKE MY COMPLAINTS VERY SERIOUSLY. PLEASE HELP. *TR

THE CONSUMER TOOK HER VEHICLE TO THE REPAIR SHOP, WHEN SHE RETRIEVED HER VEHICLE, SHE WAS INFORMED ONE OF THE RECALLS COULD NOT BE COMPLETED BECAUSE THE TECHNICIAN WAS ILL, AND SHE WOULD HAVE TO MAKE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING ON ROUTE 30 EAST IN PA, I EXPERIENCED A SCENARIO WHERE I WAS ON CRUISE CONTROL AND PRESSED THE BRAKE. THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AT IT'S SPEED AND SUBSEQUENT PRESSINGS OF THE BRAKES DID NOT SLOW THE CAR. I SHIFTED THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND THE BRAKES STILL WERE NOT SLOWING THE CAR ENOUGH. I HAD TO DRIVE INTO THE LEFT SHOULDER AND GRASS BEYOND THAT IN ORDER TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN ENOUGH TO LET OTHER CARS PASS SO I COULD GO INTO THE RIGHT LANE. THE NEXT BUSINESS I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND AFTER DRIVING 7 MILES AND LOOKING FOR ERROR CODES, REPORTED THAT THEY "COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE ISSUE". MY CAR ALREADY HAD ALL THE FIXES FOR THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION ISSUE THAT TOYOTA HAD A NUMBER OF RECALLS FOR DONE IN DECEMBER 2013. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE FURTHER INVESTIGATED BY TOYOTA BECAUSE IF THE REPORTED FIXES DO NOT WORK, THEN THERE COULD BE A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS/FATALITIES YET TO COME. I NEVER HAD EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE BEFORE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DURING SLOW SPEEDS OR STOPPED WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL TO MOVE FORWARD THE CAR'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND I CAN'T MOVE FORWARD UNTIL I TURN THE CAR OFF, THEN BACK ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT STOP LIGHTS, IN PARKING GARAGES, AND EVEN ON THE INTERSTATE. NOT SAFE! THIS IS MY THIRD TIME TAKING MY VEHICLE TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO FIX THE SAME PROBLEM. I PAID $900 TO FIX THE ECU (WHICH THEY TOLD ME WAS THE ISSUE), BUT THE SAME PROBLEM KEEPS HAPPENING. THE SECOND TIME I TOOK IT IN THEY FIXED SOMETHING WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS, NOW THE THIRD TIME THEY FIXED SOMETHING WITH A SHORT TO THE BRAKES ... SOMETHING ABOUT THE TAILLIGHTS BLINKING RAPIDLY? I DOUBT THE PROBLEM IS FIXED AND I AM VERY FRUSTRATED TO PAY THAT KIND OF MONEY WITH NO REFUND WHEN THE SAME ISSUE KEEPS HAPPENING. A VERY SIMILAR ISSUE HAPPENED IN A RECALL WITH THE 2005-2008 COROLLA/MATRIX MODELS AND THEY HAD THE ECM FIXED WITH NO CHARGE. SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME PROBLEM TO ME. *TR
