SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I HAVE A 2005 COROLLA AND WHEN I BRAKE WHILE GOING OVER A BUMPY AREA OF THE ROAD MY BRAKES MAKE A SHAKING, METALLIC, RATTLING NOISE. WHEN THIS OCCURS, I DO NOT HAVE BRAKES UNTIL I HAVE PASSED OVER THAT POOR SECTION OF THE ROAD. *TR

STEERING
CAR WILL PULL TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT, AND THEN WHEN YOU TRY TO STRAIGHTEN IT VIA THE STEERING WHEEL IT WILL OVERCORRECT AND PULL TOO MUCH IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. WHENEVER DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY OR HIGHWAY, THIS HAPPENS. WE HAVE TO CONSTANTLY KEEP OUR HANDS FIRMLY GRIPPED ON THE STEERING WHEEL OR ELSE THE CAR WILL START DRIFTING. THIS HAS BEEN A CONSTANT ISSUE SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN DEC 2009, EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO PERFORMED AN ALIGNMENT. THE ALIGNMENT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, AND THIS OCCURS EVERY SINGLE TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, STRUCTURE:BODY
FEB. 15, 2010 TO: NATIONAL HIGHWAY SAFETY ADMINISTRATION RE.: DEFECT IN TOYOTA COROLLA I RECENTLY REPORTED TO BOTH MY LOCAL TOYOTAL DEALERSHIP AND TO TOYOTA MOTOR SALES USA (NATIONAL CUSTOMER RELATIONS, 9001 SOUTHWESTERN AVE, DEPT. WC11; TORRANCE, CA 90509) THAT THE PLAY ON THE TRUNK LID ON OUR 2010 COROLLA WAS SO LOOSE THAT EVEN THOUGH THE TRUNK LID WOULD BE PUSHED ALL THE WAY UP, A SUDDEN GUST OF WIND WOULD SEND IT FLYING DOWN ON WHOEVER WAS LOADING ITEMS INTO THE TRUNK. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO MY WIFE. ON ONE OCCASION THE LID CAME DOWN ON MY WIFE'S HEAD AND AGAIN ON HER ARM ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED PHOTO SHOWING THE EFFECT OF THE LID BEING BLOWN DOWN ON HER ARM. THE DEALER AGREED THAT COMPARED TO THE TRUNK LID ON MY CAMRY, THE LID ON THE COROLLA DID INDEED SWING TOO FREELY AND THAT THE CAUSE WAS A DESIGN FLAW AS THE LID WAS FUNCTIONING WITHIN THE MANUFACTURER'S SPECIFICATIONS . THE DEALER SUGGESTED THAT I CONTACT TOYOTA. I DID THAT, EXPLAINED THE SITUATION, AND WAS ASSIGNED CASE. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE REGARDING THIS DESIGN FLAW. PERHAPS YOU CAN CONVINCE TOYOTA TO REDUCE THE "PLAY" ON THE TRUNK LID SO THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY USE THE TRUNK OF THE CAR WITHOUT EXPERIENCING INJURY. *TR

STEERING
I HAVE A 2004 TOYOTA COROLLA. ON DEC. 24, 2005 THE STEERING PULLED AWAY TO THE NEXT LANE CAUSING IT TO HYDROPLANE. IT SEEMS LIKE A GHOST JUST TAKES OVER THE STEERING WHEEL. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND THANK GOD NO DEATHS. AFTER THE CAR WAS REPAIRED, I CONTINUED DRIVING IT. IN 2006, THE WHEEL CONTINUED TO SWIFT TO THE NEXT LANE, LIKE IT'S PULLING AWAY FROM YOU. IF YOU ARE NOT GRIPPING THE WHEEL TIGHTLY, THE CAR WILL JUMP INTO THE NEXT LANE. I ALWAYS MAKE SURE NO ONE IS DRIVING IN THE NEXT LANE IN CASE THE CAR STARTS PULLING. I HAD THE CAR INSPECTED, BUT TOYOTA SAID NOTHING IS WRONG TO MAKE SURE I GET MY WHEEL ALIGNMENTS. I TOLD THEM I ALWAYS GET WHEEL ALIGNMENTS AND TIRES CHANGED OFTEN SINCE I DRIVE ALOT. THE PROBLEM OCCURS MOSTLY WHEN YOU ACCELERATE SPEEDS HIGHER THAN 40 MPH WHILE GETTING ON THE INTERSTATE. ALSO THE STEERING WHEELS JUMPS TO THE NEXT LANE ESPECIALLY WHEN ITS HIGHLY WINDY ON THE INTERSTATE AND RAINING. WHEEL ALIGNMENTS DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. WHEN I GOT ONE DONE IN 2008, THE PROBLEM HAPPENED RIGHT WHEN I PULLED OUT FROM GETTING AN ALIGNMENT. THE PROBLEM ALSO OCCURS IN WINDY CONDITIONS WHEN TRAVELING OVER BRIDGES OR HIGH ALTITUDES. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES UNTIL THIS DAY IN 2010. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I PURCHASED A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA TOWARD THE END OF 2009. I WILL ADVISE THAT SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM. THE BRAKE PEDAL IS "SOFT", AND AT TIMES WHEN PRESSED AND THE CAR COMES TO A FULL STOP, IT FEELS LIKE THE PEDAL KEEPS SINKING. THE BRAKE PEDAL RESPONSE DOES NOT FEEL CONSISTENT, AND OCCASIONALLY I "PUMP" IT IN ORDER TO GET A MORE FIRM FEEDBACK (THE PEDAL SEEMS TO FIRM UP AT SECOND PRESS ). LUCKILY NO ACCIDENTS TO REPORT, THE CAR KEEPS STOPPING, AND A " NO PROBLEM" MESSAGE RECEIVED FROM THE DEALER WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR A CHECK SOON AFTER PURCHASE. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME, BUT NOW I HAVE TO WONDER! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, SUSPENSION, STEERING
THIS LETTER WAS DATED AND SENT JUNE132009 RE: STEERING, BRAKES AND/OR SUSPENSION OF MY 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA LE, 4 DOOR SEDAN. WITH A MILEAGE OF 11,682 TO DATE. TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A., INC., THIS LETTER IS IN REGARDS TO THE RECENT ROAD HANDLING OF MY TOYOTA COROLLA (LISTED HEREIN). I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE TO REPLACE MY 1995 TOYOTA AVALON AS A VEHICLE TO DRIVE TO AND FROM WORK. I DRIVE QUITE A DISTANCE TO WORK HAVING PUT ON 8000 MILES ON THIS CAR IN ONLY 3 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP. OUR FAMILY CAR IS A 2007 MATRIX XR. WE ARE OBVIOUSLY FANS OF TOYOTA VEHICLES. THIS PAST WEEK THE BISHOP FORD HIGHWAY, WHICH IS PART OF MY ROUTE TO WORK IN CHICAGO, WAS SCRAPED PRIOR TO A RESURFACING OF THE ROAD. THIS LEFT A STRETCH OF ROAD WHICH WAS VERY ROUGH AND WITH DEEP WAVY GROOVES CUT INTO THE PAVEMENT. WHEN MY CAR CROSSED INTO THE SCRAPED SECTION OF PAVEMENT MY CAR LURCHED ABOUT A FOOT TO THE RIGHT (WITHOUT THE STEERING WHEEL MOVING). THIS ALARMED ME AS IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BUT THE STEERING RECOVERED UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS BUT I REALIZED SOMETHING WAS WRONG OR LOOSE IN THE FRONT END. MY WARRANTY WAS COMING DUE (12,000 BUMPER TO BUMPER) AND THE CAR DOES HANDLE WELL FOR THE MOST PART AND I NEED THE CAR FOR WORK SO I FIGURED I WOULD WAIT A FEW DAYS UNTIL THE WEEKEND TO HAVE IT FIXED ALONG WITH THE BRAKES WHICH ARE STARTING TO FEEL SPONGY. NEW PADS ARE PROBABLY NEEDED ON THE FRONT END. I WILL HAVE THEM CHECKED INDEPENDENTLY THIS WEEK AND PAY THE OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE (EVEN THOUGH THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY, EVEN IF THE BRAKE PADS ARE CLOSE TO BEING IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT AT THIS POINT). OUR SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT TOYOTA ON 30 IN MERRILLVILLE INDIANA DID NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES AND THE ROAD HANDLING COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED BY THEIR MECHANICS. I AM A VERY EXPERIENCED DRIVER AT AGE 45 WITH NOT EVEN A PARKING TICKET TO MY NAME. IF THERE IS A SERIOUS FLAW... *TR

STEERING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I OWN A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA, WHICH MY 19 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER DRIVES, WHICH IS INVOLVED IN THE GAS PEDAL RECALL. SHE ALSO DESCRIBES AN STEERING PROBLEM -- DIFFICULTY KEEPING THE CAR FROM VEERING, HAS TO HOLD STEERING WHEEL TIGHT TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT, DESCRIBES IT LIKE CAR IS SLIDING ON ICE. WHEN I ASKED OUR TOYOTA DEALER SERVICE DEPT ADVISOR ABOUT IT HE SAID TO CHECK THE TIRE INFLATION. I NOW SEE THAT THIS IS A COMPLAINT FROM OTHERS. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE FOR HER TO DRIVE! SHE DRIVES IT TO AND FROM COLLEGE ON INTERSTATE 95 AND SAYS THIS PROBLEM OCCURS AT ALL SPEEDS, ESPECIALLY 45 AND OVER. *TR

STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TOYOTA OF KINGSPORT 2525 EAST STONE DRIVE KINGSPORT, TN 37660 ON NOVEMBER 27, 2009, I PURCHASED A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA, FROM A 3RD PARTY FOR MY EX-WIFE OF GATE CITY, VIRGINIA. DURING THE TEST DRIVE, THE 3RD PARTY AND I DISCUSSED THE ACCELERATOR PROBLEM THAT WAS BEING REPORTED IN THE NEWS AND ON MANY INTERNET WEBSITES. HE ASSURED ME THAT THERE WAS NOT A PROBLEM. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE COROLLA HAD NEVER IN ITS ENTIRE HISTORY BEEN THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL. I LATER FOUND OUT THIS TO BE UNTRUE. THERE IS ALSO A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING ON THIS CAR. IT WANDERS AT HIGHER SPEEDS AND WILL NOT HOLD A STRAIGHT LINE. THIS IS A SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS DEFECT, ESPECIALLY FOR A 60-YEAR OLD WOMAN. YOU CANNOT TAKE YOUR EYE OFF THE ROAD EVEN FOR A SPLIT SECOND OR YOU MAY FIND YOURSELF IN THE NEXT LANE OR RUNNING OFF THE ROAD. THIS IS HIGHLY UNACCEPTABLE. ACCORDING TO THE NEWS, THIS STEERING DEFECT HAS BEEN REPORTED TO TOYOTA ON MANY OCCASIONS. MY EX WIFE IS ON DISABILITY. SHE HAD MAJOR HEART SURGERY IN FEBRUARY, 2009. SHE HAD TWO HEART VALVES REPLACED, TWO HEART ARTERY BY-PASSES AND HAD TO HAVE A GRAFT ON HER HEART AORTA. SHE HAS MANY OTHER DISABILITIES TO DEAL WITH. THIS WAS HER FIRST NEW CAR IN 13 YEARS. SHE PREVIOUSLY DROVE A TOYOTA TERCEL FOR 13 YEARS - A GOOD CAR. TOGETHER, WE HAVE OWNED A CAMRY, TERCEL, TUNDRA, TACOMA AND NOW THIS COROLLA. BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THIS WILL BE THE LAST TOYOTA I WILL EVER BUY. TOYOTA HAS KNOW ABOUT THESE DEFECTS BUT STILL CONTINUED TO SELL THEM TO THE PUBLIC. THE WORD THAT COMES TO MIND IS FRAUD. I AM AT A LOSS AS WHAT TO DO. I AM ALSO ON DISABILITY AND CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THIS CAR FOR HER AND I WORRY EACH DAY THAT SHE HAS TO DRIVE THIS CAR. PLEASE RESPOND IN WRITING HOW YOU PLAN TO ADDRESS THIS SITUATION. AS EACH DAY PASSES, THE CHANCE OF HER BEING INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT GROWS GREATER. YOU WILL RECEIVE A COPY OF THIS LETTER BY CERTIFIED MAIL. *TR

STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA. HE STATED THAT THE ELECTRONIC STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND RESISTANT WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL IN EITHER DIRECTION. HE ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD BEAR TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT OFTEN TIMES WITHOUT DRIVER INTENT. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE WITH THE OWNER AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH AND VERIFIED THAT THE FAILURE DOES EXIST. WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKES AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKES WOULD FEEL AS IF THEY WERE NOT ENGAGING, THEN THEY WOULD IMMEDIATELY RESPOND AND LUNGE THE VEHICLE FORWARD. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE TO CORRECT THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE UNDER 13,300.

STEERING
I WAS DRIVING ON TO THE OFF RAMP AND OFF THE FREEWAY DECELERATING FROM ABOUT 65 MILES PER HOUR. I FELT AS IF A STRONG GUST OF WIND PUSHED MY CAR TO ONE SIDE AT THE SAME TIME THIS OCCURRED THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED TO THE LEFT PULLING MY HAND WITH IT. AT THIS POINT I HAD NO IDEA WHAT HAD HAPPENED I TRIED TO RECORRECT THE WHEEL AND INSTEAD IT WENT WILDLY BACK TO THE RIGHT. THIS HAPPENED ANOTHER TIME WITHIN A COUPLE OF SECONDS. THE NEXT THING I KNOW THE CAR SPUN AROUND 180 DEGREES FACING ONCOMING TRAFFIC OF CARS COMING OFF THE FREEWAY AT WHICH POINT THE CAR DRIFTED, HIT THE CURB AND ROLLED INTO THE EMBANKMENT. THE CAR WAS TOTALED. MY PASSENGERS LEG WAS ALSO INJURED AND WE ARE LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. UNTIL ALL THIS NEWS CAME OUT ABOUT TOYOTA I HAD THOUGHT THAT WHAT HAD CAUSED MY ACCIDENT WAS STRONG WINDS BECAUSE HONESTLY THAT IS WHAT IT FELT LIKE WHEN I WAS DRIVING BEHIND THE WHEEL AND ON TOP OF THAT I WAS TRAUMATIZED SO I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THE ACCIDENT HAVING ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE CARS MECHANICAL FAILURE. LOOKING BACK I DON'T EVEN BELIEVE THE WIND WAS EVEN BLOWING THAT DAY THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME I DROVE THAT CAR ON THE FREEWAY AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR. MY SISTER ALSO DROVE IT ONCE ON THE FREEWAY AND SHE ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL FELT HARD TO HANDLE. SHED MENTIONED THAT DRIVING FROM SAN JOSE TO SAN FRANCISCO SHE HAD TO HAVE A FIRM GRIP WITH TWO HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL BECAUSE IT FELT STRANGE. THE ACCIDENT WAS IN 2008 AND IT WAS A 2009 COROLLA. BECAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT WE WEREN'T EVEN ABLE TO HAVE A CHANCE TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THE STEERING WHEEL ACTUALLY HAD A DEFECT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
IN EARLY 2009 , ONE WINTER NIGHT, I WAS RETURNING HOME AFTER A NIGHT OUT, IT HAS SNOWING AND THE TEMPERATURE WAS BELOW ZERO. MY DRIVEWAY IS ABOUT 50 FEET LONG AND COVERED WITH SNOW AND MAY BE SOME ICE AND THEREFORE BECOME SLIPPERY. FROM THE CURB, I ACCELERATE SLIGHTLY TO GET OVER ONTO THE DRIVEWAY, AND THEN I BRAKE IMMEDIATELY ONCE ON THE DRIVEWAY. THIS IS WHEN I REALLY SUDDENLY FOR NO REASON THE CAR IS ACCELERATING QUICKLY AND IS GOING TO HIT MY GARAGE. I BRAKE HARD AND FIND THE CAR CONTINUE ACCELERATING UNTIL IT HIT THE BACK OF MY STAND ALONE GARAGE AND CRACKED A FEW 2 BY 4 PILLARS. MY CAR SUFFER NO DAMAGE. WHEN I REPORTED THIS TO TOYOTA ONLINE, I GOT NO RESPONSE FROM TOYOTA CANADA OTHER THAN THIS, I AM VERY HAPPY ABOVE MY COROLLA AND I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER BRAKE PROBLEM SINCE THEN. *TR

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY
WE PURCHASED A 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA LAST SPRING FROM COLEMAN'S TOYOTA IN ROCKVILLE, MD. IN AUGUST, WE HAD A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE. THE TEMPORARY DRIVER'S FLOOR PAD BECAME LOOSE AND CREPT OVER THE ACCELERATOR, MAKING IT NECESSARY TO STOP THE CAR AND REMOVE THE PAD. AT THAT TIME, WE HAD NOT HEARD OR SEEN ANY NEWS ABOUT A RECALL, BUT WERE TOLD BY OUR COLEMAN'S SALESMAN THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY $200 FOR FRONT SEAT FLOOR PADS THAT WOULD BE CLIPPED ON THE FLOOR. HE SAID TOYOTA DID NOT CONSIDER ATTACHABLE FLOOR PADS STANDARD EQUIPMENT IN THE PRICE OF A CAR. HE FINALLY SOLD ME ATTACHABLE PADS FOR $40 ON SEPT. 18, 2009. WE HAVE NOT HAD A PROBLEM SINCE THEN, BUT WE WONDER WHY NHTSA WOULD ALLOW A CAR DEALER TO SELL ANY CAR WITHOUT FIRMLY PLACED FLOOR PADS ARE PART OF THE STICKER PRICE. IT IS NOW FEB. 12, 2010, AND WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTICE FOR THE ACCELERATOR PROBLEM. MY WIFE IS FRIGHTENED TO USE THE CAR ON ANY MAJOR HIGHWAY. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS OF 3 MPH OR MORE, THERE WOULD BE A SUDDEN INCREASE IN THE RPMS WITHOUT WARNING. WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE PEDAL WOULD OFTEN RETURN TO THE IDLE POSITION VERY SLOWLY. THERE WOULD ALSO BE INSTANCES WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD FEEL AS IF IT WAS LOSING POWER WHILE TRAVELING DOWNHILL, AT ANY SPEED, ALSO CAUSING A SUDDEN INCREASE IN RPMS. THE DEALER INSTALLED A CUT METAL BAR TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V023000; COMPONENT: VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL IN AN ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THERE WERE NO FURTHER REPAIRS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 2,376.
