SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I HAVE NOTICED THAT MY BRAKES ON MY 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA S HAVE BEEN NOT AS RESPONSIVE AS I WOULD ASSUME OR WANT THEM TO BE. THIS IS ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE WHEN IT IS RAINY OR WET, OR EVEN DAMP OUTSIDE. I BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT WHEN IT WAS WET MY BRAKES SOUND LIKE THEY ARE GRINDING WHEN I STOP AND STOPPING DISTANCE IS SIGNIFICANTLY ELONGATED. FINALLY ON ONE RAINY DAY MY BRAKES FAILED AS I CRASHED INTO THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME. IN ANY USUAL CIRCUMSTANCE I WOULD HAVE HAD ENOUGH TIME TO COMPLETELY STOP, HOWEVER MY BRAKES COMPLETELY DEPRESSED TO THE GROUND AND FELT THAT THEY HARDLY SLOWED MY CAR, RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO MY CAR AND INJURY TO MYSELF. I HAVE BROUGHT MY COROLLA INTO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE BREAKS LOOKED AT AND THEY SAID THEY WERE COMPLETELY FINE, HOWEVER THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE CIRCUMSTANCE UNDER WHICH MY BRAKES FAILED, THEREFORE RESULTING IN THEM SAYING THERE WAS NO ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES. I HAVE HAD ALL OF THE RECALLS DONE ON MY CAR AND I STILL NOTICE THAT THE BRAKES ARE NOT FUNCTIONING AS THEY SHOULD. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY CAR WAS NOT ACCELERATING CORRECTLY. THE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE SMOOTHLY, IT TOOK TIME TO ACCELERATE AND THEN IT WOULD BUCK FORWARD. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SEVERAL DAYS LATER. I CHECK TO MAKE SURE THE FUEL CAP WAS ON CORRECTLY AND COULD FIND NO OTHER REASON THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT THERE WAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FOR MY CAR'S ENGINE COMPUTER AND IT WAS REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE. EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE I FEEL LIKE THE TIRES STICK LIKE THE CAR IS HAVING TROUBLE ACCELERATING, BUT SO FAR THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS GONE BACK ON. I WILL CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD THE PROBLEM GET WORSE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I TOOK MY 1994 COROLLA TO THE CAR WASH IN CROMWELL CT. AFTER I WAS DONE I PUT BACK THE MATS AND PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND MOVED FORWARD TO LEAVE THE STALL. AFTER A FEW FEET AND OUT OF THE STALL , I TRIED TO PUT THE BRAKES TO TRY TO STOP THE CAR BUT THE CAR KEPT ROLLING I KEPT BRAKING BUT NOTHING HAPPENED AND THE CAR WAS HEADING TOWARD THE ROAD (RTE 3), I MUST'VE PANICKED BECAUSE I TRIED TO SHIFT OUT OF THE DRIVE WHEN THE CAR ZOOMED BACKWARDS (I'VE NEVER KNEW THE COROLLA HAD THAT MUCH POWER) I DIDN'T HAVE THE TIME TO COMPREHEND WHAT HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR SLAMMED IN SUCH FORCE IN THE CORNER WALL OF THE STALL. THE CAR WAS IN SUCH A SHAPE NO ONE COULD UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED. THE DRIVER'S SEAT WAS TOTALLY DAMAGED, IT WILL NO LONGER STAND UPRIGHT. I REALLY COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED. NO SERIOUS INJURIES HAPPENED TO ME AND THANK THE LORD I DIDN'T HURT ANYBODY. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT A YEAR AGO, I DONATED THE CAR TO AMERIC CAN! CARS FOR KIDS ON JULY 13 2009. THE CAR HAD ABOUT 80,000 MILES. IT BELONGED TO MY WIFE'S GRAND FATHER WHO RARELY USED IT. AFTER HIS DEATH, WE TOOK THE CAR FOR A TUNEUP BEFORE WE PUT IT BACK ON THE ROAD. I BELIEVE THE CAR WAS IN THE GARAGE FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS PRIOR TO THE TUNE UP. I AM NOT ASKING FOR ANYTHING I DON'T KNOW WHETHER IT WILL HELP YOU IN YOUR INVESTIGATION FOR OLDER CARS. AGAIN, I COULDN'T MAKE SENSE OF WHAT HAPPENED BUT WHEN I READ ABOUT THE MATS THAT'S WHEN EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS CALLED TO SAY I NEEDED TO LET YOU KNOW. *TR

THIS WAS THE LAST TIME I WENT TO THIS DEALER.THE CAR WOULD ACCELERATE FROM 500 RPM TO 2000 RPM IN IDLE THIS WOULD LURCH THE CAR FORWARD AND THE ONLY WAY I COULD DRIVE THIS CAR WAS TO CHANGE THE CERAMICS BRAKE PADS EVERY 10000 MILES. IN 2007 THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND BROKE THE REAR BUMPER OF A HYUNDAI SANTAS FE AND CRACKED MY BUMPER TOO I TRIED TO EXPLAIN TO THE POLICE OFFICER THAT I WAS STOPPED AND SUDDENLY THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD, IT DID NOT HELP I WAS GIVEN A TICKET AND TOLD TO TELL MY STORY TO THE JUDGE, LUCKILY THE LADY I HIT DID NOT SHOW UP IN COURT AND I WAS DISCHARGED BUT THAT DID NOT MAKE MY INSURANCE COMPANY ALL STATE FROM RAISING MY PREMIUM AND I STILL HAVE THE CAR AND STILL HAS THE HIGHEST PREMIUM. THE CAR IS USED FOR RUNNING ERRANDS LOCALLY. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 55 AND 60 MPH, THE CAR- WITHOUT MY FOOT NEAR THE ACCELERATOR- EXPERIENCED A SURGE IN ACCELERATION. THIS HAPPENED AT A TIME AFTER I WAS USING CRUISE CONTROL BUT HAD TURNED IT OFF BECAUSE I WAS COMING TOO CLOSE TO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND NEEDED TO SLOW DOWN. AS I RELEASED MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND MOVED IT TO THE BREAK, THE ENGINE REVVED DRAMATICALLY. ONCE SPEEDS REACHED OVER 65 (WITHIN ONE OR TWO SECONDS) I BROKE AND WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN AND KEEP IT IN CONTROL. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL REINFORCEMENT BAR RECALL WAS PERFORMED ON 2/17/10. TOOK IT TO DEALER, THE FOUND NO PROBLEM AND WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE SITUATION.

STEERING
SINCE PURCHASED, I HAVE NOTICED AT SPEEDS OVER 40-50 MPH THE CAR IS VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP MOVING IN YOUR LANE. IT FEELS AS IF A GUST OF WIND BLOWS THE CAR EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT OUT OF ITS LANE, YET IT HAPPENS WHEN THERE IS NO WIND WHATSOEVER. IT REQUIRES TWO HANDS TO BE FIRMLY PLACED ON THE WHEEL IN ORDER TO KEEP CONTROL OF YOUR CAR AND NOT PASS INTO ANOTHER LANE. TOOK IT TO DEALER, THE FOUND NO PROBLEM AND WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE SITUATION.

STEERING
MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA PULLS LIKE THE ALIGNMENT IS OFF BUT ON BOTH SIDES REGARDLESS OF ROAD GRADE. GALE TOYOTA OF ENFIELD, CT WERE I BOUGHT THE CAR FIRST SAID IT JUST NEEDED TO BE BROKEN IN, THEN WHEN THEY WERE FIXING THE ACCELERATION RECALL I TOLD THEM IT'S STILL THERE THEY SAID THAT'S NORMAL, FINALLY THEY DID THE ALIGNMENT AND SAID ITS FINE. STILL HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. AS I RITE THIS, LYNCH TOYOTA OF MANCHESTER ACTUALLY TEST DROVE IT AND CONFIRMED THAT THE CAR IS ALMOST UN-DRIVABLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. TWO HANDS ARE NEEDED AT ALL TIMES OVER 40MPH. I WILL SEE WHAT THEY COME UP WITH WHEN I RETURN TO PICK THE CAR UP TODAY. THIS PROBLEM IS ONGOING AND CONSTANT REGARDLESS OF THE DATE OF INDECENT ENTERED.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
VEHICLE CONTINUES TO HAVE ACCELERATION PROBLEM AFTER RECALL PERFORMED. WHEN SLOWING DOWN - WITHOUT GAS OR BRAKING - AT 20-25MPH IT SPEEDS UP TO MAINTAIN THAT SPEED (MAYBE MORE) AND BECOMES DIFFICULT TO BRAKE - AS THOUGH IT WANTS TO CONTINUE AT SPEED. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY AND IS EASY TO RECREATE - JUST SLOW DOWN AND WATCH IT GO.... IT'S DANGEROUS - I HAVE ALMOST REAR-ENDED OTHER CARS ON A FEW OCCASIONS. HAVE APPT WITH TOYOTA OF WINTER HAVEN FL TODAY.

I HAVE OWNED MY NEW 2010 COROLLA FOR SIX MONTHS. TODAY, MY TECHNICIAN FOUND THE CRANK SENSOR WAS LEAKING OIL. TOYOTA DEALER WILL EXAMINE MY CAR THIS EVENING. I SEE THAT IN 2006, THIS TOYOTA PART WAS RECALLED ON THE ECHO. I AM SUSPICIOUS THAT THIS LATER MODEL IS FAILING IN THE SAME WAY.
