VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, EQUIPMENT
I NO LONGER OWN THIS VEHICLE, BUT IT WAS A 1996 TOYOTA COROLLA, AND I HOPE THE INFORMATION I PROVIDE HERE CAN HELP SOMEHOW WITH ANY CURRENT INVESTIGATIONS. AROUND 100,000 MILES, I TOOK MY CAR TO A NON-DEALER MECHANIC TO REPLACE MY TIMING BELT AS A MATTER OF MAINTENANCE. AFTER THIS REPLACEMENT, MY CRUISE CONTROL NEVER WORKED AGAIN, AND I NOTICED THAT IN MOMENTS OF DECELERATION (EITHER IN BRAKING OR COASTING) THAT THE ENGINE WOULD SUDDENLY RACE AND I COULD FEEL THE GAS PEDAL PULL FROM ITS RESTING POSITION. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE MODEL I'VE INDICATED IS INACCURATE -- I DON'T RECALL WHAT THE MODEL WAS AS I NO LONGER OWN THE VEHICLE. I'VE BEEN AS SPECIFIC AS I CAN BE. I JUST THOUGHT IT MIGHT PROVE USEFUL. THE INCIDENT DATE IS ALSO INACCURATE AS THIS OCCURRED FREQUENTLY ENOUGH TO NOTICE, BUT NOT OFTEN ENOUGH OR SEVERELY ENOUGH TO WARRANT MY TAKING TO A DEALER. *TR

STEERING
2010 TOYOTA COROLLA -- STEERING PROBLEM. VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP CAR WITHIN TRAVEL LANE WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THIS IS NOT RELATED TO WIND GUSTS BUT OCCURS AT ALL THE TIMES. FEELS LIKE THERE ARE DEAD SPOTS IN THE WHEEL AND THERE IS LITTLE TO NO ROAD FEEL FEEDBACK. THE CAR DOES NOT TRACK STRAIGHT ON ITS OWN BUT REQUIRES CONSTANT STEERING CORRECTIONS. I AM 69 YEARS OLD AND HAVE OWNED AND DRIVEN MANY CARS/TRUCKS INCLUDING MY 2002 TOYOTA AVALON AND MY DAUGHTER'S 1993 COROLLA AND HAVE NEVER BEFORE EXPERIENCED THE TYPE STEERING ISSUE THAT WE HAVE WITH OUR NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE AND IF A DRIVER IN NOT PAYING 100% ATTENTION AND CONSTANTLY CORRECTING TO KEEP CAR WITHIN THE TRAVEL LANE THE RESULT COULD BE DISASTROUS. TOYOTA NEEDS TO BE REQUIRED TO FIX THIS STEERING ISSUE WITH ITS NEW COROLLA'S. [THIS OCCURS ALL THE TIME - BUT YOUR FORM FORCES ME TO ENTER AN INCIDENT DATE SO I AM JUST USING JAN 1, 1901 TO PROCEED WITH THE FORM. UPDATED 03/19/10.*JB

STEERING
BOUGHT COROLLA NEW JAN 2010. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 2850 MILES. THE CAR WILL NOT GO IN A STRAIGHT LINE WHILE DRIVING OVER 55MPH. THE CAR DRIFTS TO EITHER THE LEFT OR RIGHT WITHOUT TURNING THE WHEEL. CAR FEELS AS IF YOU'RE DRIVING IN HARD WINDS CAUSING LANE SHIFTS WITHOUT TURNING WHEEL. ONE MUST KEEP BOTH HANDS TIGHTLY GRIPPED TO THE STEERING WHEEL AND CONTINUALLY OVER CORRECT THE WHEEL FROM LEFT TO RIGHT OR RIGHT TO LEFT TO KEEP THE CAR TRAVELING IN A STRAIGHT LINE AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS WHILE DRIVING ON OPEN ROADS. TOOK CAR TO DEALER, TECH TEST DROVE CAR WHILE I WAS A RIDING ALONG AND FOUND CAR TO NOT DRIVE NORMAL. AFTER TEST DRIVE TECH TESTED CAR, CAR WAS CHECKED IN SHOP AND FOUND TO HAVE NO PROBLEMS WITHIN THEIR TESTING CAPABILITIES. WANTED TO KEEP CAR FOR FURTHER TESTING BECAUSE HE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX CAR BUT NOTED SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH CAR. 4 DAYS LATER I GOT A CALL FROM SERVICE DEPARTMENT ASSISTANT MANAGER STATING THAT TOYOTA WAS AWARE OF PROBLEM AND THEY HAD NO FIX AVAILABLE FOR MY CARS STEERING. WAS TOLD THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHEN CAR COULD BE FIXED. WHEN I ASK FOR A LOANER CAR UNTIL MY NEW COROLLA WAS REPAIRED I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD HAVE TO CALL ME BACK. I WAS CALLED BACK WITHIN 10 MINUTES AND TOLD NO LOANER CAR WOULD BE GIVEN. AFTER THAT CALL I GOT ANOTHER CALL BACK FROM THE SAME PERSON STATING THAT THEY WERE GOING TO TEST DRIVE MY CAR TOO SEE WHAT SHE THINKS ABOUT THE CAR. WITHIN 5 MINUTES I GET ANOTHER CALL STATING THAT SHE, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ASSISTANT MANAGER, WAS IN MY CAR RIGHT NOW DOING 70MPH AND THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. SUMMED UP: FROM 12:30PM TO 2:30PM, THE SAME DAY, I WAS TOLD CAR HAD A PROBLEM THAT TECH COULD NOT FIX TO THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR CAR.. THE NEXT DAY I GOT ANOTHER CALL FROM THE DEALERS SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATING THAT SOME OTHER TECH HAD DROVE THE CAR AND NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. I WAS TOLD THAT IS HOW THE CAR DRIVES AND I WOULD JUST HAVE TO GET USED TO IT. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON 8/29/08 I WAS SLOWLY ACCELERATING AS I PULLED ONTO THE HIGHWAY WHEN I EXPERIENCED WHAT I HAVE COME TO UNDERSTAND WAS AN SUA, A SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. WITH HEAD-ON TRAFFIC COMING AT ME FAST I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO TURN SHARPLY TO GET OFF THE ROAD. MY REAR AXLE WAS CAUGHT ON A BERM OF DIRT AT THE EDGE OF A CORNFIELD. BRAKING HAD NO EFFECT. AS I SAT THERE I REALIZED THE ENGINE WAS RACING WILDLY. THERE WAS NO OBSTRUCTION TO THE GAS PEDDLE, SO I HAD TO CUT OFF THE ENGINE BY TURNING THE KEY OFF. MY CAR IS A 2008 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE ROAD WAS DRY, HOWEVER, IT WAS A DAMP MORNING AND CHILLY. I HAVE HAD NO RECURRENCES. I AM A SAFETY COMPLIANCE OFFICER WITH OSHA SO I IMMEDIATELY BEGAN INVESTIGATING THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE SYSTEM. I DO NOT FEEL THE ADDITION OF THE PLATE BEHIND THE GAS PEDAL IS THE SOLUTION. TOYOTA TOLD ME AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT THAT IT WOULD DO NO GOOD TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE SENSOR, SO I REALIZED THAT THEY HAD A DEFECT PROBLEM. I AM LOOKING INTO ADDING A SMART THROTTLE SOFTWARE PLUG-IN TO PROVIDE AN OVERRIDE TO THE THROTTLE. TOYOTA REFUSED TO TELL ME WHO MADE THE PART OR FROM WHOM THEY PURCHASED IT. PLEASE PROVIDE ME THAT INFORMATION IF POSSIBLE. PLEASE CONTINUE YOUR INVESTIGATION, AND I WOULD SUGGEST WIDENING IT TO INCLUDE ALL DRIVE-BY-WIRE SYSTEMS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH WHEN MY CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE BY ITSELF. I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES UNTIL THEY SMOKED, BUT THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. I WAS SO SCARED I WAS AFRAID TO TRY AND TURN AROUND TO GET TO THE NEAREST MECHANIC SO I CONTINUED HOME WHICH IS A STRAIGHT LINE AND RIDING THE BRAKES THE ENTIRE WAY APPROXIMATELY 3 MILES, GOT INTO THE DRIVEWAY AND PUT THE CAR INTO PARK AT WHICH TIME THE CAR CONTINUED TO SURGE. I SHUT THE KEY OFF AND SAT THERE TRYING TO COMPOSE MYSELF. I HAVE HAD IT AT MY LOCAL MECHANICS AND THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IT HAD NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE AND HASN'T SINCE 2/11/10. MY CAR IS A 2000 TOYOTA COROLLA. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC, STEERING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA LE THE STEERING WHEEL UNEXPECTEDLY JERKED AWAY FROM MY CONTROL. IN ADDITION, THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKING SYSTEM IS MAKING STRANGE SOUNDS, SUCH AS HISSING, PINGS AND CRACKS. I TOOK THE CAR TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND MECHANIC STATED IT IS PROBABLY THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. HE ALSO STATED THAT TOYOTA WILL PROBABLY RECALL CAR DUE TO COMPLAINTS WITH POWERSTEERING. DUE TO THE ABOVE ISSUES AND RECENT RECALLS ON MY CAR, MY WIFE AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE AND SECURE IN CAR. WE ARE SCARED OF DYING LIKE OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS HAVE IN THE PAST. WE WOULD LIKE A FULL REFUND OF $17, 209.97 FROM TOYOTA MOTOR SALES USA. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I PURCHASED A NEW TOYOTA COROLLA IN JAN 2010. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR GAS PEDAL RECALL IN THE FIRST WEEK OF FEB. AFTER THAT I STARTED FACING BRAKE ISSUES. ONE DAY MY CAR MOVED FEW INCHES BACK ON UPHILL IN SPITE OF ME APPLYING THE BRAKES. I CALLED THE DEALER RIGHT AWAY. THEY REFUSED TO TAKE A LOOK THE SAME DAY AS THEY DID NOT HAVE TIME. NEXT MORNING THE BRAKES FAILED AGAIN WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWNHILL RESULTING IN ME HITTING THE CAR INFRONT. I AGAIN TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER. AFTER TEST DRIVING THEY TELL ME THAT THEY CAN NOT REPRO THE PROBLEM. THE ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE IS AN INTERMITTENT ONE. IT DOES NOT ALWAYS HAPPEN, BUT WHEN IT DOES IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
ON THIS DATE (NOV. 19, 2009) MY MOTHER AND I WERE ON THE WAY TO WORK ON INTERSTATE 45, IT WAS A CLEAR DAY NO WEATHER ISSUES AT ALL. AFTER ABOUT 20 MIN INTO OUR COMMUTE WE CAME UP ON AN ACCIDENT IN THE ROAD, WHERE A CAR UP AHEAD HAD SPENT OUT OF CONTROL, AS I APPLIED MY FOOT TO THE BRAKE THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AND INSTEAD OF THE CAR COMING TO A STOP WE COLLIDED WITH THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. NOW WHEN I SAY THE CAR KEPT GOING IT DID INSTEAD OF HITTING THE SUV ONCE WE HIT HIM TWICE AS IF MY FOOT WASN'T TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE ENTIRE FRONT OF MY CAR WAS DESTROYED, THE SUV IN FRONT HAD A SMALL DENT, BUT THANKS TO THE LORD NO ONE WAS HURT EXCEPT FOR A LARGE BRUISE ON MY MOTHER AND LOTS OF HURT FEELINGS FOR ME. THE POLICE WERE CALLED TO THE SCENE AND IT WAS WHEN THEY SHOWED UP I REALIZED THAT THE IMPACT WAS SO BAD THAT IT JARRED OUR DOORS SHUT. AFTER THE OFFICERS INVESTIGATION MY MOTHER AND I WERE LET GO WITHOUT A TICKET BEING THAT THE WRECK WAS CAUSED BY ANOTHER PERSONS FAULT (THE SPINNING CAR UP AHEAD). WHAT WAS THE MOST DIFFICULT FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND WAS THE FACT THAT WE HIT THE SUV IN FRONT OF ME TWICE. IT WASN'T LIKE MY CAR WASN'T IN GOOD SHAPE, A 2007 COROLLA WITH 55,000 MILES, THAT HAD JUST GOT 2 NEW FRONT TIRES AND NEW BRAKE PADS ALL THE WAY AROUND. NOW I AM DEALING WITH A $8000.00 REPAIR BILL THAT I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO PAY YET. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2006 AND OTHER YEARS OF TOYOTA COROLLA. ECM DEFECT CAUSES HAD SHIFTING OF TRANSMISSION AND HAS RESULTED IN SUDDEN LOSS OF ALL POWER WHEN DRIVING. CASES OF THIS PROBLEM ARE WIDELY REPORTED ON THE INTERNET BY OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES BUT NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN BY THE NHTSA TO ORDER A RECALL OR TO HOLD THE COMPANY LIABLE TO REPAIR THESE VEHICLES. WHERE IS THE FOCUS OF THE NHTSA??? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION, SUSPENSION
MY CAR ACCELERATED ON REVERSE WHEREIN INSTEAD OF MAKING A 90 DEGREES ANGLE THE CAR WENT SWIPING IN 180 DEGREES. BOTH TIMES WAS RAINY. BOTH TIMES THE HEADLIGHTS & THE WINDSHIELD WIPER & THE BACK WINDOW DEFOGGER IS ON. DURING THIS BACK UP WHEN I TURN MY HEAD , THE REAR BACK WINDSHIELD WAS VERY BLURRY & TWICE THIS HAPPENS TO ME. BOTH TIMES I WAS MAKING A REVERSE LEFT SIDE CORNER. WHEN I BOUGHT THIS CAR THE LEFT BACKLIGHT IS DAMAGED. I PUT THINGS TOGETHER THAT MAYBE THE SAME THING HAD HAPPEN TO THE FIRST OWNER OF MY CAR. I HAVE DRIVEN IN ALL OVER THE WORLD FOR 18 YEARS, WITHOUT ANY ACCIDENT HAPPENED TO ME IN THE HIGHWAYS BUT THE ONLY TWO ACCIDENT I HAVE WITH SO FAR IS ON THIS CAR IN MY OWN BACKYARD, ON THE SAME EXACT MOTION, SAME WEATHER CONDITION. THE CAR WAS ON REVERSE. THE TWO TIMES IT HAPPENED WAS VERY IDENTICAL TO EACH OTHER.
