STEERING
I BROUGHT A NEW TOYOTA COROLLA 2010 IN MID JANUARY, AND HAVE EXPERIENCED A POSSIBLE STEERING PROBLEM FOR A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN THE SPEED WAS MORE THAN 60 MPH. THE LATEST ONE WAS IN THE AFTERNOON OF FEB. 26, WHEN I DROVE ON A HIGHWAY WITH A SPEED OF ABOUT 65 MPH. IT SEEMED THE STEERING WAS VERY SENSITIVE AND DIFFICULT TO CONTROL - A SMALL MOVEMENT IN STEERING COULD EASILY CAUSE THE CAR TO GO TO ANOTHER LANE. THE SITUATION BECAME MORE APPARENT WHEN THE WIND WAS STRONG - I FELT THE CAR WAS NOT STABLE AT ALL. *TR

STEERING
I HAVE A 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA. I HAVE COMPLAINED NUMEROUS TIMES ABOUT THE STEERING PULLING ONE WAY OR THE OTHER TO MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER BUT THEY HAVE ALWAYS MAINTAINED IT'S FINE. I FINALLY LOOKED UP THE PROBLEM ON GOOGLE AND FOUND OTHER PEOPLE ARE ALSO HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I RECENTLY DROVE THE CAR TO AND FROM FLORIDA AND MY ARMS ACTUALLY HURT FROM FIGHTING THE STEERING, AND I'M A CONSTRUCTION WORKER. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. *TR

STEERING
I WAS DRIVING ON THE 60 FREEWAY WITH MY 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA. IT DRIFTED TO THE RIGHT FOR MORE THAN 100 YARDS. WHEN I CORRECTED IT, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED TO THE LEFT AND I ENDED UP RUNNING INTO THE CENTRAL DIVIDER. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
IN 2004 DURING THE WINTER MY 1999 TOYOTA COROLLA LE ACCELERATOR EXTREMELY FAST AS IF THE ACCELERATOR WAS FLOORED. I IMMEDIATELY PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. I CHECKED THE FLOOR MATS AS MY FIRST TROUBLESHOOTING ATTEMPT. THE FLOOR MATS WERE OK. I STARTED MY CAR AGAIN AND AGAIN IT ACCELERATED AT A HIGH SPEED. AT THAT POINT I WAS STILL ON THE SIDE ON THE ROAD AND MY CAR WAS IN PARK. I PUMPED THE ACCELERATOR SEVERAL TIME AND FINALLY THE CAR IDLE AT A NORMAL SPEED. IT HAS NOT HAPPEN SINCE THAT DAY. *TR

YESTERDAY WHILE BRUSHING SNOW OFF CAR IT BEGAN TO REV AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAD DEPRESSED ITSELF AND STUCK. I HAD TO MANUALLY PULL UP THE PEDAL.

I HAVE TRIED TO TRADE IT IN AND DEALERS WILL NOT TAKE IT. IT IS UNSELLABLE AND UNSAFE. I WANT TOYOTA TO TAKE THIS CAR AND GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK. IT IS A BAD PRODUCT! *TR

STEERING, SEAT BELTS, SEATS, SUSPENSION, INTERIOR LIGHTING, POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION, STRUCTURE:BODY, VISIBILITY, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE A TOYOTA COROLLA. I WAS PULLED OVER ONE TIME BY THE NASHUA POLICE IN 2007 ALLEGING THAT MY VEHICLE WAS SWERVING. I COULDN'T FEEL IF IT DOES..BUT COUPLE WEEKS AGO I OBSERVED IT VERY CLOSELY.AND YES IT DOES SWERVED. I WOULD LIKE TO ADD TO THE LIST OF MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT THAT THE SECOND TIME THAT MY CAR ACCELERATED IN REVERSE MOTION COULD ALSO BE ATTRIBUTED TO STEERING MECHANISM. WHY ? I WAS ENGAGED IN REVERSE , WHILE CUTTING THE WHEEL TO MAKE A 90 DEGREES ANGLE BACKING BUT MY CAR WENT INTO A DONUT SPIN. AS A WOMAN WHAT DO I KNOW ABOUT CARS. ALL I KNOW IS THAT IT IS TOO IRONIC THAT THE SIMILARITIES OF THESE INCIDENTS ARE TOO FARFETCH TO IGNORE. THEY ARE IDENTICAL TO EACH OTHER. I AM SCARED TO RIDE IN IT SINCE THEN. I REMEMBER THE FIRST CAR I HAVE WAS A CELICA,THAT TOO CROSS A MIDDLE ISLAND WHILE I WAS MAKING A U TURN. AND THE RUST INSIDE MY TRUNK . WHY WOULD THE RUST IS INSIDE THE TRUNK. THE SEATBELT DOESN'T WORK. THE SEAT ARE TOO LOW THAT IF I DON'T REINFORCE IT WITH PADDED PILLOWS I COULD HARDLY SEE THE FRONT & THE BACK. I SPEND SO MUCH MONEY ON THIS CAR BECAUSE I GET ATTACHED TO IT. ALSO THE HEADLIGHTS I HAVE CHANGED IT LIKE YOU WON'T BELIEVED. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) COMPLAINT ABOUT AN ACCIDENT ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2009 I WAS DRIVING ON OLD HWY 75 BETWEEN SALIX AND SLOAN IN IOWA AT ABOUT 6-7 PM ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2009. MY CAR WAS A COROLLA 2005 CE [XXX] WHICH HAS 4-CYLINDER AND ABOUT 67,000 MILES ON IT. AS I WAS DRIVING ON OLD HWY 75, I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN ACCELERATION, THE CAR LURCHED AND PULLED ME TO THE DITCH ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE. I IMMEDIATELY LOOSEN THE ACCELERATION PAD BUT IT DIDN'T SLOW DOWN BUT ACCELERATED TOWARDS THE RIGHT HAND SIDE. THEN I WAS SCARED THAT IT WILL ROLL OVER IN THE DITCH AND SO I PULLED IT BACK TO THE LEFT, BUT THERE WAS A VAN COMING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION (NEXT LANE) AND THUS WE HAD A HEAD-ON COLLISION. THE TWO OLD LADIES INCURRED LEG INJURIES AND THEY COULDN'T COME OUT OF THE VAN. THE TWO BOYS (ABOUT 4 YEARS OLD) SEEMED FINE AND CAME OUT OF THE VAN. LATER ON THE TWO OLD LADIES NEEDED TO HAVE SURGERIES AND THEY FILED A LAWSUIT AGAINST ME. AT THAT TIME, I FELT THAT SOMETHING'S WRONG WITH MY COROLLA BUT I COULDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO FIND IT OUT BECAUSE I NEED THE INSURANCE COMPANY TO GET ME ANOTHER CAR FOR COMMUTING PURPOSES. HOWEVER, I FEEL THAT THIS ACCIDENT WAS DUE TO THE COROLLA THAT I WAS DRIVING AT THE MOMENT AND THUS IT WAS NOT COMPLETELY MY FAULT. COROLLA 2005 IS NOT IN THE RECALL LIST, BUT I STILL WANT TO FILE THIS REPORT AND I WILL SEEK LEGAL ADVICE IN TERMS OF LIABILITY. PLEASE CONSIDER MY COMPLAINT CAREFULLY BECAUSE I ALMOST DIED IN THE ACCIDENT AND GIVE ME A REPLY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *TR

I OWN A 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA LE. EARLIER THIS MONTH, I LOST ALL BUT AN EXTREMELY MINIMAL AMOUNT OF POWER WHILE DRIVING. I NURSED THE CAR TO MY HOME AND CONTACTED MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP BY TELEPHONE AND DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM. OVER THE PHONE, THE SERVICE PERSON WITH WHOM I SPOKE SAID THAT HE BELIEVED THE PROBLEM WAS WITH ONE OF THE CAR'S COMPUTERS. HE INDICATED THAT THE PROBLEM I DESCRIBED WAS NOT UNIQUE, BUT THAT I SHOULD BRING IT IN FOR FORMAL DIAGNOSTIC TESTS. WHEN I HAD THE CAR TOWED INTO THE DEALERSHIP, THE SERVICE PERSONNEL VERIFIED THAT ONE OF THE CAR'S COMPUTERS HAD TO BE REPLACED. I SPOKE WITH TWO OF THE SERVICE PERSONNEL AT THE TIME AND BOTH GAVE ME THE IMPRESSION THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT UNUSUAL FOR THAT YEAR'S COROLLA LE. I BRING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION BECAUSE OF THE CURRENT QUESTIONS REGARDING TOYOTA'S PROBLEMS AND THE POSSIBILITY THAT SOME OF THE MAJOR PROBLEMS COULD HAVE AN ELECTRONIC ORIGIN. *TR

PARKING BRAKE, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
MY CAR IS A 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA WHICH IS ON THE RECALL LIST. I HAD GONE TO THEM TWO DAY BEFORE THE ACTUAL RECALL, BECAUSE EACH TIME I WOULD ENCOUNTER A DOWN SLOPE OR GO DOWN A HILL, MY CAR WOULD SOUND LIKE IT WAS IDLING UP AND GRINDING AS IF IT WANTED TO TAKE OFF. IT HAD BEEN SERVICE A WEEK BEFORE THIS HAPPENED; HOWEVER, THE SOUND OF MY BRAKES SCARED ME SO I TOOK IT BACK IN TWICE. THEY STILL INSISTED NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. THEN, I TOOK IT BACK THE NEXT DAY AFTER THE RECALL, AND I WAS TREATED VERY RUDELY BY THE SERVICE PEOPLE AS WELL AS THE SERVICE MANAGER. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE SINCE THEN. I DRIVE IT DAILY WITH A PRAYER, BECAUSE I WAS TOLD THAT IF MY VIN NUMBER BEGIN WITH A "J" IT IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. HOWEVER, I AM VERY AFRAID OR PARANOID ABOUT DRIVING IT DAILY AND ESPECIALLY ON RAINY DAYS. WHEN IT RAINS MY BRAKES SQUEAK AND SOUND AS IF THEY OR LETTING OUT AIR OR A BALLOON BEING RUBBED AGAINST YOUR HAND. I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL TIMES AND RECEIVED NO RESPONSE. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH UNIVERSAL TOYOTA UNTIL NOW. I WAS A FAITHFUL CUSTOMER WHO HAS HAD SIX TOYOTA CARS THAT I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED, BUT THIS SITUATION HAS CAUSE ME TO CONSIDER OTHER OPTIONS. I AM UNSURE OF THE ACTUAL DATE, BUT IT WAS DEFINITELY THE DAY AFTER THE RECALL. *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I AM CONTACTING YOU REGARDING A COMPLAINT WITH MY 2010 COROLLA. I FIRST CALLED THE NHTSA 800 NUMBER WITH THIS WRITTEN COMPLAINT AND WAS TOLD I WOULD RECEIVE A HARD COPY IN TWO WEEKS (I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE IT). SO ONCE AGAIN I AM PUTTING THIS COMPLAINT IN WRITING, SO I HAVE PROOF THAT IT WAS FILED AND SENT. I HOPE THAT SOMETHING GETS DONE WITH IT ONCE AND FOR ALL. THE COMPLAINT IS REGARDING TOYOTA'S NEW PEDAL RECALL PART. IT DOES NOT CORRECT THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM. MY CAR ACCELERATED OVER 80 MPH ON FEB.12,2010. TOYOTA PUT IN THE RECALL PEDAL THAT MORNING AFTER I BROUGHT THE CAR THERE. ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK ON FEB 12, THE CAR EXHIBITED MORE ACCELERATION ISSUES. THAT WAS WHEN I CALLED TO REPORT IT WITH THE NHTSA. THE CAR THEN ACCELERATED AGAIN ON FEB15 WITH THE NEW"PEDAL RECALL IN". I WAS DRIVING UP A LONG ONRAMP ONTO THE INTERSTATE AT APPROX. 35-40 MPH, AND THE CAR TOOK OFF TO OVER 80 MPH. I WAS INJURED. I CALLED AGAIN TO YOUR AGENCY TO REPORT THIS ON FEB15TH. I GOT THE CAR BACK FROM TOYOTA ON FEB 19TH. THEY SAID "THE CAR WAS FINE. IT IS NORMAL FOR COROLLAS TO ACCELERATE TO 80 MPH". THAT IS TOTAL BULL! THE CAR'S PEDAL STARTED STICKING ON SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 21. THIS CALLED MORE RPM & ACCELERATION PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. ALSO THE BRAKES ARE GOING DOWN TO THE FLOOR. THE CAR HAS GONE THRU A 5 WAY INTERSECTIONS STOP LIGHT AND A STOP SIGN. I HAVE HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I AM FILING THIS REPORT TO HAVE DOCUMENTATION FOR MY RECORDS. IT IS ON MY 2010 COROLLA NOW HAVING COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE ISSUES. IT STARTED ON FEB. 21,2010. THE BRAKES STARTED TO GO COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. ON FEBRUARY 24, THE BRAKES WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR AT A 5 WAY INTERSECTION, AND I WENT THROUGH A STOP LIGHT. I COULD NOT STOP THE CAR. THAT SAME DAY I WENT THROUGH A STOP SIGN AND HAD TO JAM ON MY EMERGENCY BRAKE, SO I DIDN'T GO ONTO A MAJOR TRAVELED ROUTE IN VERMONT. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM I REPORTED TO THE NHTSA ON 12/12/09. THE ODI NUMBER IS 10295431. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT WAS DONE WITH THAT COMPLAINT? DID IT EVER GET FORWARDED TO MR. TOYODO HIMSELF, CONGRESS (FOR THE HEARINGS?). I HAD COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE ISSUES FOR OVER 14 MONTHS WITH MY 2009 COROLLA. WHAT DID YOU DO WITH THAT INFORMATION? THE ONLY RECALL I SAW WAS FOR THE PRIUS? WHAT A JOKE! NOW MY 2010 COROLLA HAS COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE. AGAIN TOYOTA GETS AWAY WITH COVERING UP THEIR MISTAKES, AND YOUR AGENCY DOES NOTHING. THE SAME AS COVERING UP THE NEW PEDAL RECALL NOT CORRECTING THE ISSUE OF ACCELERATION (MY ODI NUMBER FOR THIS IS 10314851). I HAVE ALL MY RECORDS AND AM SHOWING THEM TO THE MEDIA (NATIONAL & LOCAL). I AM STATING BELOW THE INCIDENT DATE FOR MY CURRENT CAR BRAKE FAILURE ISSUES IS FEBRUARY 21ST. I AM HOWEVER STATING INJURIES AND REPORTED TO THE POLICE. I HAD AN ACCELERATION INCIDENT ON JANUARY 18, 2010 WITH MY 2009 COROLLA . DURING THE INCIDENT I HAD COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE AND WAS INJURED. I DID REPORT IT TO THE POLICE. *TR

COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE (14 MONTHS WORTH) AND ACCELERATION OVER 85-95 MPH (WITH COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE). I WAS INJURED AT THE TIME OF THE ACCELERATION INCIDENT AND THE BRAKES FAILED COMPLETELY. IT OCCURRED ON JANUARY 18TH, 2010. THE CAR ACCELERATED TO 85-95 MPH, AND THE PEDAL STUCK. I HAD COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE. I DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO, AND CALLED MY WORK. THEY TOLD ME TO STICK THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL, AND THEY CONNECTED ME TO 911. I WAS INJURED AS MY CHEST HIT THE STEERING WHEEL SEVERAL TIMES. I AM RESUBMITTING THIS COMPLAINT ON THE 2009 COROLLA I OWNED AS IT LOOKS LIKE THE BRAKE FAILURE ISSUE I FILED WITH YOUR AGENCY WAS NEVER INVESTIGATED. I LOOKED UP THE ODI NUMBER TODAY, AND NOTHING WAS REPORTED ON IT FOR FOLLOWUP. *TR

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
SINCE PURCHASING MY 2009 COROLLA I HAD TO HAVE A BELT CHANGE, I HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL THEY STATED WAS MY FLOOR MAT, AND THEN MY ACCELERATOR PEDAL WOULD STICK. THE PROBLEM WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WOULD INCLUDE TIMES OF LOW ACCELERATION TO THE PEDAL STICKING IN THE DEPRESSED POSITION EVEN IF MY FOOT WAS OFF THE ACCELERATOR. IN ADDITION, SINCE THE SNOW IS GREATER THIS YEAR GIVING ME A BETTER IDEA HOW IT HANDLES IN THE SNOW I HAVE ENCOUNTERED A DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT SCARES ME. I WROTE TO TOYOTA ABOUT IT ON 2/24/10 AND TODAY 2/26/10. BELOW IS MY LAST E-MAIL TO THEM. "DRIVING IN THE SNOW 2/25/10 I ENCOUNTERED SEVERAL TIMES WHEN THE TRACTION CONTROL KICKED IN AND I HAD POWER LOSS TO THE VEHICLE. IT HAPPENED EVEN ON THE HIGHWAYS. THE CAR WOULD SLOW TO ALMOST A STOP. I PRESSED AND PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR PICKING UP MY FOOT AND PUTTING DOWN AT TIMES TO SEE IF IT WOULD HELP BUT IT WOULD CONTINUE TO SLOW OR HAVE TOTAL POWER LOSS WHERE I COULD NOT GO. IT WAS AS IF I HAD NO POWER TO THE ACCELERATOR. THE PEDAL WAS LIMP. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY ON A HIGHWAY! DRIVING AND HAVING THE CAR THEN SLOW OR STOP OR ALMOST STOP TO WHERE I CAN'T GO IS DANGEROUS, PLEASE HELP!!!!! AGAIN, IN THE DROP DOWN MENU BELOW FOR THE SUB-TYPE OF VEHICLE COROLLA IS NOT LISTED AS A CATEGORY. MY CAR IS A 2009 COROLLA". THE DATE SELECTED BELOW AS INCIDENT DATE: I SELECTED THE INCIDENT DATE AS THE DATE OF THE LAST TIME THE INCIDENT OCCURRED EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM HAS ALSO OCCURRED BEFORE THIS DATE. *TR
