VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WE HAVE TWO TOYOTAS,A 2006 CAMRY LE AND A 2007 COROLLA. IN BOTH CASES IN THE LAST MONTH WE HAVE EXPERIENCED SUDDEN SURGES WHILE THE CARS WERE IN GEAR BUT COMPLETELY STOPPED. IN THE FIRST,THE 2006 CAMRY MADE A SUDDEN SURGE AHEAD WHILE WAITING AT AN INTERSECTION. IT LASTED ONLY A BRIEF MOMENT BUT IT WAS QUITE NOTICEABLE. I REPORTED IT TO OUR TOYOTA DEALER RIGHT AWAY AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT ONE OF THE RECALLED VEHICLES. THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE SERVICE DEPT. SEEMED UNCONCERNED EVEN THOUGH I INSISTED ON THE SERIOUSNESS OF IT. THE SECOND OCCURRED THIS LAST WEEK AND WAS FAR MORE SERIOUS. WHILE AWAITING AT A STOP SIGN THE CAR BEGAN TO REV TREMENDOUSLY AND THE RPMS SHOT INTO THE RED ZONE. I HAD MY FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE AND IMMEDIATELY PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL BEFORE SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE ENTIRELY. I RE STARTED THE ENGINE SHORTLY AND NO FURTHER PROBLEMS RESULTED THAT DAY. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE SAME DEALER AND DETAILED THE EVENT TO THE SERVICE DEPT.. I WAS TOLD TO BRING IT IN IMMEDIATELY,WHICH I DID.THIS ONE WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY DID A CODE CHECK ON IT AND FOUND NOTHING AMISS. I KNOW THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG! I WROTE TO TOYOTA'S WEBSITE BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RESPONSE OTHER THAN THEY WOULD LOOK INTO THE FIRST REPORT FILED AFTER THE INCIDENT WITH THE 2007 CAMRY. *TR

1998 TOYOTA COROLLA. ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. ON AUGUST 20, 1999, THE CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT A RUBBING SOUND IN THE AREA OF THE RIGHT REAR TIRE WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED EARLY IN THE MORNINGS. THE MECHANIC COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE DOOR PANELS WERE REPLACED DUE TO THE GLUE COMING THROUGH THE FABRIC. THE DOME LIGHT WOULD NOT COME ON AT TIMES. THE CONSUMER SUSPECTED THERE MAY BE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. *JB THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 44 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD ACCELERATE AND THEN DECREASE IN SPEED. THE CONSUMER FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS ON. UPDATED 05/26/10.*JB

STEERING
THIS WAS NOT A FAILURE, BUT MORE OF A CONSTANT PROBLEM. MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA HAS A SERIOUS TENDENCY TO WANT TO WANDER IN THE LANE. I DRIVE TO WORK EVERYDAY ON THE EXPRESS WAY, ABOUT 25 MILES. IT REQUIRES CONSTANT MONITORING AND ADJUSTMENTS TO KEEP THE VEHICLE TRACKING STRAIGHT. IT ACTUALLY FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS ALWAYS ON A SLIPPERY ROAD, EVEN WHEN THE PAVEMENT IS DRY. AS SPEEDS INCREASE THE PROBLEM INCREASES; IT IS ALWAYS PRESENT. NEVER WORSE AT ONE TIME THAN ANOTHER. I HAVE NOT REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO THE DEALER, BUT I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TODAY AT 12:30 FOR THE GAS PEDAL RECALL, I WILL INFORM THEM OF THE ISSUE AS WELL. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
IN NOVEMBER OF 2009 I WAS DRIVING SOUTH ON INTERSTATE 93 FROM ANDOVER IN BUMPER-TO-BUMPER TRAFFIC WHEN I SUDDENLY FOUND THAT MY CAR, A 2003 TOYOTA COROLLA, WAS ACCELERATING DESPITE MY USING ALL MY ENERGY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. FOR SOME SCARY MOMENTS I WAS CERTAIN THAT I WAS GOING TO COLLIDE WITH THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. JUST AS SUDDENLY MY CAR STARTED TO BRAKE. HOWEVER, THERE HAD BEEN THE POSSIBILITY OF A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND DIRE CONSEQUENCES FOR ALL INVOLVED. I HAD NOT HAD SUCH AN EXPERIENCE WITH THE CAR BEFORE AND HAVE NOT HAD ONE SINCE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I PURCHASED A 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA IN JANUARY 2009. I THOUGHT THE BRAKES WERE A LITTLE SLUGGISH AND EXPRESSED THAT TO THE SALESMAN. HE SAID THEY WERE FINE SO I THOUGHT I JUST NEEDED TO GET USED TO THEM. I HAD NO OTHER PROBLEM IN 2009. IN JANUARY OF 2010, ON TWO OCCASIONS, I EXPERIENCED EPISODES IN WHICH THE BRAKES FAILED. THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THEY WOULD HOLD AND THEN SLIP SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE CAR CAME TO A STOP. ON AT LEAST ONE OF THESE OCCASIONS, I THOUGHT I HEARD THE ENGINE RACING WHILE THE BRAKES WERE BEING APPLIED. AFTER I HEARD ABOUT THE COROLLA RECALL, I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD PURCHASED IT AND WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS NOT SUBJECT TO THE RECALL. I DID NOT UNDERSTAND THIS BUT ASKED THEM TO KEEP THE CAR UNTIL THEY COULD FIND AND FIX THE CAUSE OF THE MALFUNCTION BECAUSE I CONSIDERED THE CAR TO BE A DEATH TRAP. THIS WAS IN FEBRUARY 2010 AND I REPORTED TO THEM EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE NOW REPORTED TO YOU. AFTER ABOUT TWO WEEKS THEY CALLED AND TOLD ME MY CAR WAS "ALL SET." WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR, THEY GAVE ME AN INVOICE WHICH SAID THEY HAD TAKEN IT FOR A COUPLE OF TEST DRIVES, CHECKED THE CODES, AND FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM DESPITE THE FACT THAT I HAD TOLD THEM IT WAS A BRAKE PROBLEM. ON 2/25/10, I APPLIED THE BRAKES AS I APPROACHED A RED LIGHT AND THE BRAKES DID NOT RESPOND. I DO NOT KNOW WHETHER THE CAR ACCELERATED BUT I DO KNOW THAT IT DID NOT SLOW DOWN. CONSEQUENTLY, I REAR-ENDED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME AND MY VEHICLE WAS BADLY DAMAGED. *TR

STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
WHILE TRAVELING AT 35MPH ON A 50MPH ROADWAY, ANTICIPATING TO STOP OR STEER OFF THE ROADWAY, MY 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA BRAKES AND STEERING FAILED DESPITE REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO STOP OR STEER THE VEHICLE TO THE SOFT SHOULDER TO AVOID REAR ENDING THE VEHICLE STOPPED AHEAD OF ME. ONCE I APPLIED MY BRAKES, THE STEERING MECHANISM BECAME NON RESPONSIVE AS THOUGH BOTH BRAKES AND STEERING FAILED. I WATCHED MY VEHICLE CONTINUED ON ITS FORWARD TRAJECTORY UNTIL IT SLAMMED INTO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AT THE RED LIGHT. IN ADDITION, ONE WOULD HAVE EXPECTED THE AIR BAG ON THIS VEHICLE TO DEPLOY AT IMPACT AT THIS SPEED. TO MY SURPRISE AND THAT OF THE INVESTIGATING OFFICER FROM TAMPA POLICE DEPARTMENT, THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. LUCKILY, I WAS THE ONLY ONE IN THE VEHICLE AS NEITHER THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG NOR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG DEPLOYED. *TR
