STRUCTURE:BODY
I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 2004 BRAND NEW ZERO MILEAGES ON IT. IT IS TOYOTA COROLLA 2005. I NEVER HAD ANY FRONT END ACCIDENT. PROBLEM IS THE ORIGINAL COLOR OF MY CAR IS COMING OUT. IT STARTS COMING OFF FROM FRONT. I THINK IT HAD PAINT DEFECT. PAINT IS COMING OFF FROM DIFFERENT SIDES OF THE FRONT. THE ORIGINAL COLOR IS GRAY AND NOW SOME PARTS ARE COMING WHITE. I DONT KNOW WHAT DO TO BECAUSE IT LOOKS UGLY AND I NEVER WANTED MY CAR TO BE LIKE THIS.

STEERING
2010 TOYOTA COROLLA - THE CAR HAS POOR STEERING. IT DRIFTS ALL OVER THE HIGHWAY. REQUIRES CONSTANT CORRECTION LIKE I AM DRIVING IN HEAVY WINDS. I BROUGHT IT INTO A TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY CLAIM THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THEY SAY I NEED TO GET USED TO ELCTRONIC ASSISTED STEERING. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT FOR FOUR MONTHS NOW, AND I CANNOT "GET USED TO IT".

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FAILURE OF ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (CURRENTLY REFERED TO AS "ECU" BY TOYOTA TECHNICIANS). THIS IS THE SECOND FAILURE OF THIS COMPONENT FOR THIS VEHICLE. THIS FAILURE HAS CAUSED MY CAR TO BUCK SIGNIFICANTLY ON UPSHIFTS OF THE AUTOMATIC TRANS. PART WAS ORIGINALLY REPLACED IN 2006 UNDER GUIDELINES OF TSB TC014-06. TC015-07 REFERS TO THE SAME PROBLEM AND WAS ISSUED AFTER REPAIRS TO MY VEHICLE. TOYOTA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE CONTINUING FAILURE OF THIS PART.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA SPORT JUST SHUT ITSELF OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHILE DRIVING UP A HILL. IT HAS DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THIS FIRST INCIDENT AND MY FATHER-IN-LAW WHO IT A MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAULTY ECM. ACCORDING TO HIM THERE ARE A LOT OF SHOPS IN OUR AREA THAT HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THEM. THE DEALER EVEN HAS THE NEW UPDATED PART IN STOCK, WHICH MEANS THEY KNOW IT IS A PROBLEM. DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE WITH ALL OF TOYOTA'S ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS?

STEERING, SUSPENSION
THE CAR'S POWER STEERING TURNS BY ITSELF WHEN HITTING BUMPS OR ROUGH PATCHES ON THE ROAD AT HIGHER SPEEDS. IT TAKES AWARENESS AND EFFORT AT TIMES TO KEEP THE CAR STRAIGHT. ALTHOUGH PROBABLY NOT AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY THREAT, I IMAGINE IF NOT REMEDIED, IT WILL BE A PROBLEM THAT GETS WORSE AND NOT BETTER OVER TIME. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT OCCURS DAILY.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE BRAKING TO TURN INTO A PARKING LOT, BOTH THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED SIMULTANEOUSLY. THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR BECAUSE OF HIS FOOT, A SIZE TEN, WAS FAIRLY LARGE. WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED, THERE WAS AN UNUSUAL INCREASE IN ENGINE RPMS AND ONCE THE VEHICLE WOULD ACCELERATE, THE BRAKES WERE UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH SPACE BETWEEN THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE PEDALS. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 40,000. UPDATED 05/13/10. *LJ

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) I HAVE HAD A VARIETY OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS SHOW UP IN MY 2005 COROLLA CE, [XXX]. THEY BEGAN ABOUT JULY 2009 AND CONTINUE TO THIS DAY, IN JULY, THE CAR WAS HARD TO START ON HOT DAYS. IT MAY BE CORROSION AT THE BATTERY GROUND OR IT MAY BE SOMETHING MORE SERIOUS. THEN, ABOUT THE 1ST OF JANUARY, THE ELECTRIC LOCKS FAILED TO WORK. ABOUT THE 20TH OF JANUARY, THEY WORKED AGAIN. THIS SUGGESTS THAT THE ECM IS SUBJECT TO WATER EXPOSURE, AND CORROSION....WHICH WILL LEAD TO OTHER, PERHAPS DANGEROUS, FAILS. FOR AT LEAST 6 MONTHS, THE PASSENGER SAFETY BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON. THIS TOO, SUGGESTS SOME TYPE OF WEATHER EXPOSURE TO A FLAWED DESIGN. IT IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT COULD MEAN THE SAFETY BAG MIGHT TRIGGER SPONTANEOUSLY WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION...THUS TRIGGERING AN ACCIDENT THAT COULD KILL ME, ANY PASSENGERS, AND IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT INVOLVING OTHER VEHICLES...RISKING THE LIVES OF MANY OTHERS. MY FINAL ELECTRICAL PROBLEM BEGAN ON/ABOUT 1 MARCH OF THIS YEAR. MY "ENGINE FAULT" LIGHT WENT ON AND REMAINS ON. I DID CHECK ALL FLUIDS ON THE TOP OF THE ENGINE AND FOUND THEM TO BE OKAY. I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR AND IT IS NOW SITTING IN MY CAR PORT. I WON'T DRIVE IT UNTIL I CAN FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I AM EVEN AFRAID TO DRIVE IT TO THE AAMCO BUSINESS FOR THE FREE DIAGNOSTIC CHECK THAT THEY OFFER. INSTEAD, I JUST BOUGHT A DIAGNOSTIC TOOL TO HELP ME FIGURE OUT IF THE CAR IS SAFE. I ALMOST FORGOT. LAST SUMMER, THE ODOMETER SET ITSELF BACK BY ABOUT 25,000 MILES. THIS IS ANOTHER INDICATOR OF AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. *TR

STEERING
LOSE SOME CONTROL OVER 2009 COROLLA WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. CAR ACTS LIKE IT IS BEING HIT BY A GUST OF WIND FROM THE SIDE. USUALLY ENDS UP PUSHING THE CAR A NUMBER OF FEET TO THE RIGHT BUT I AM ABLE TO GET IT UNDER CONTROL BEFORE ANY ACCIDENT OCCURS (SO FAR). THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM AND ALWAYS HAPPENS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, EVER SINCE I PURCHASE THE CAR.

PARKING BRAKE
MARCH 24, 2010, I STARTED MY CAR FROM DEWDNEY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, MISSION, BC PARKING LOT HEADING HOME IN ABBOTSFORD, BC. ABOUT 15 MINUTES ON HIGHWAY 11 HEADING ABBOTSFORD DIRECTION, I FOUND THAT I COULD NOT BRAKE THE CAR TO STOP. LUCKILY, I MANAGED TO STOP. THEN I SAW SMOKE CAME OUT FROM THE BACK WHEELS, AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LEVER WAS HIGH UP, WHICH IT HAD NOT BEEN RELEASED BEFORE I STARTED TO DRIVE. I WAS SCARED AND CALLED THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER, SUNRISE TOYOTA IN ABBOTSFORD TO TOW THE CAR. THE NEXT MORNING, THE STAFF AT THE DEALERSHIP CALLED ME THAT I HAD TO PAY ABOUT $1200.00 TO FIX THE CAR MYSELF AS THE EXTENDED WARRANTY DID NOT COVER IT DUE THE FAULT I MADE MYSELF. THEY CLAIMED THAT I SHOULD HAVE NOT UNRELEASED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, WHICH WHY IT BURNED THE WHOLE BRAKING SYSTEM. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THAT I FORGOT TO RELEASE THE EMERGENCY HAND BRAKE BEFORE I DROVE. THE FIRST TIME HAPPENED TWO AND A HALF YEARS AGO THAT I REALIZED THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS NOT RELEASED IMMEDIATELY, AS I FELT THE CAR WAS DIFFICULT TO MOVE. MY CONCERN IS THAT I DID NOT FEEL ANY DIFFICULTY OR RESTRICTION TO MOVE THE CAR WHEN THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS NOT RELEASED THIS TIME, AS I DID NOT REMEMBER IF THE RED LIGHT OF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ON. UNFORTUNATELY, THE CAR MOVED SMOOTHLY EVEN THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS UP HIGH. THAT WAS WHY I DID NOT REALIZE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS NOT RELEASED. MY CAR IS ONLY SIX YEARS OLD, WITH 80,000KM, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE WORKING PROPERLY. I THOUGHT THAT I WAS GOING TO DIE WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO STOP THE CAR WHEN I EXITED THE HIGHWAY, AS THE BRAKING SYSTEM WAS BURNING OFF WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE NOT BEING RELEASED. IT IS NOT A REASONABLE TIME FRAME FOR AN EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP FUNCTION IN FIVE OR SIX YEARS. IN OTHER WORDS, TOYOTA INC. SHOULD HAVE WARNED ALL THE DRIVERS WHO DRIVE TOYOTA COROLLA 2004 MODEL TO REPLACE THE EMERGENCY BRAKES OF THEIR CARS IN FIVE OR SIX YEARS, OTHERWISE THEY WILL RISK THEIR LIVES.
