WHEELS
THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ALLOY WHEELS ON MY 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA ARE SHOWING SIGNS OF EXCESSIVE CORROSION. THE FINISH ON THE WHEELS IS BUBBLING AND CHIPPING AWAY. THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SAYS THE PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY ROAD SALT AND BRAKE DUST, THEREFORE NOT COVERED UNDER THE MANUFACTURER'S CORROSION WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN VERY LITTLE IN THE WINTER AND IS CLEANED AT LEAST WEEKLY. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE IT APPEARS THAT A LARGE NUMBER OF TOYOTA OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. I FEAR THAT IF THE WHEELS ARE NOT REPAIRED OR REPLACED THEY COULD BEGIN TO LEAK AIR OR FAIL STRUCTURALLY AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
IN JANUARY 2011, MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA LE EXPERIENCED WHAT HAS BEEN TERMED 'SUDDEN ACCELERATION'- WHILE I WAS BRAKING, THE ACCELERATOR ENGAGED BY ITSELF, GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. MY TOYOTA COROLLA IS THE NEWER DESIGN I BELIEVE, IT HAS NAILED DOWN FLOOR MATS, AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ALREADY WORKED ON BY TOYOTA I BELIEVE IN OCTOBER 2010. I TOOK MY CAR TO TOYOTA, THEY SIMPLY ISSUED AN INSPECTION RESULT INDICATING THAT THE CAR 'CHECKED OUT TO FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS.' TOYOTA IS LYING ABOUT THE CAUSE OF SUDDEN ACCELERATION, AND CONTINUES TO DO SO. THE COMPANY WOULD RATHER SEE PEOPLE INJURED OR KILLED THAN DEAL WITH THE REAL PROBLEM(S). *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I WAS CURRENTLY ON 1 AND 9 NORTH OF JERSEY CITY NJ. I WAS ON A STOP LIGHT AND WHEN IT TURNED GREEN, THE CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE AS MUCH AS IT WAS SUPPOSE TO WHEN YOU PRESS ON GAS PEDAL. IT WAS LITERALLY MOVING 5 MILES PER HOUR. I WAS PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL FOR THE CAR TO GO BUT IT WAS STILL NOT EVEN MOVING UP. I TURNED ON THE HAZARDS AND PULLED OVER. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TURNED OFF THE CAR FIRST. I CHECKED THE GAS TANK AND THE ENGINE BUT I COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS LIT UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. I BROUGHT IT TO THE CAR DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY ARE NOT 100% SURE WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT BUT THEY DISCONNECTED THE ALARM WIRE TO SEE IF THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. THE SECOND PROBLEM OF THIS CAR IS WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE BRAKE, IT STILL MOVES A LITTLE BIT. WHEN YOU START GOING AND PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL, YOU HAVE TO PRESS ON IT HARDER FOR IT TO GO BUT IT GASES UP THAN IT NORMALLY DOES. I HAVE RECENTLY SAW THE PREVIOUS OWNERS RECEIPTS FOR ITS CAR SERVICE AND HE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. HE ALWAYS HAD TO FIX THE ACCELERATOR BUT UNTIL NOW, IT IS STILL THE SAME AND STILL NEEDS TO BE FIXED. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AND WHERE TO GO TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

STEERING
SINCE THE DAY WE TOOK OWNERSHIP OF OUR 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA, I NOTICED THAT DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE STEERING FEELS VERY LOOSE. IT TAKES TWO HANDS TO CONSTANTLY TRY TO KEEP THE CAR TO GO STRAIGHT. NOW AT 44,000 MILES THE ELECTRONIC STEERING (ELECTRIC MOTOR) WHINES/WHISTLES INTERMITTENTLY AT SPEEDS ABOVE 45 MPH. THIS IS NOT AN ALIGNMENT OR TIRE WEAR ISSUE AS IT HAS DONE THIS SINCE NEW. *TR

STEERING
AT ABOUT 55MPH-60MPH, THE CAR BECOMES DIFFICULT TO STEER. THE CAR BECOMES VERY UNSTABLE AND WILL NOT HOLD THE ROAD WELL. THE CAR JERKS QUICKLY BACK AND FORTH ACROSS THE LANE, FEELING ALMOST AS IF ONE WERE DRIVING IN HIGH WINDS; HOWEVER, THIS STEERING ISSUE WILL OCCUR AT EVERY HIGH SPEED AND EVEN WITHOUT WIND PRESENT. THE STEERING IS TOO SENSITIVE AND WILL EASILY MOVE INTO ANY OTHER LANE DESPITE HOLDING THE WHEEL STILL. THIS CAR FEELS LIKE THE STEERING HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN, WHICH IS ESPECIALLY FRIGHTENING WHILE DRIVING PAST OTHER CARS ON FREEWAYS DUE TO DIMINISHED DRIVER CONTROL. AT LOWER SPEEDS, STEERING IS FINE, BUT BECOMES DANGEROUS AT HIGHER SPEEDS. VERY SCARY TO DRIVE.

CHILD SEAT:TETHER: CONNECTOR/CLIP, CHILD SEAT
WE HAVE USED OUR SUNSHINE KIDS RADIAN 80SL CARSEAT SINCE DECEMBER. IT WAS POINTED OUT TO ME THAT OUR SUPERLATCH SYSTEM MAY BE DEFECTIVE. I WENT AND LOOKED AT OUR SEAT AND SURE ENOUGH OUR CARSEAT HAS A SUPERLATCH ISSUE. THE TIGHTENING BELT ON THE SUPERLATCH CAN BE LOOSENED AT THE PRESS OF MY PINKY. THIS LOOSENS THE SEAT WHICH IS CONNECTED BY THE LATCH. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING THE ISSUE CORRECTED. (RELATED VEHICLE INFORMATION: MODEL YEAR=2009, MAKE=COROLLA, MODEL=TOYOTA ). *TR

CHILD SEAT, CHILD SEAT:BASE
REGULAR USE OF THE GRACO SNUGRIDE 32 AND BASE IN 2007 COROLLA. THE CARSEAT WILL FLIP SIDEWAYS BUT REMAIN INSTALLED IN THE BASE. IT HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES A MONTH NOW THAT THE BABY IS 17 LBS IT CAN OCCUR ON A SHORT TRIP, LESS THAT 10 MINUTES IN THE CAR. THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ANY SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES AS A RESULT OF THE FLIPPING. THE CARSEAT BASE IS REINSTALLED WEEKLY AT MINIMUM IN ATTEMPT TO DECREASE THE FREQUENCY THAT THE CAR SEAT FLIPS. MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THEIR RECOMMENDATION WAS "IF THE CAR SEAT IS NOT FITTING SAFE IN THE MIDDLE SEAT, THEN YOU WOULD WANT TO USE ONE OF THE SIDE SEATS WITH THE LATCH SYSTEM." TOYOTA RECOMMENDS THE CARSEAT BE INSTALLED IN THE CENTER SEAT HOWEVER. *TR
