STEERING, SUSPENSION:FRONT
NOTICE THE STEERING WHEEL SOMETIMES PULSES ONLY WHEN MY CELL PHONE IS (DOCKED) NEAR DOCKED TO THE RIGHT OF THE STEERING WHEEL. IT'S STRANGE I CAN SOMETIMES TELL IF MY BLACK BERRY IS GOING TO RING OR GET AN EMAIL. THE STEERING WHEEL SEEMS TO SHAKE OR TRY TO STEER ON ITS OWN. THIS IS SIMILAR TO MY OTHER 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA THAT I RESOLD TO THE DEALER. I WONDER IF MORE SHIELDING IS NEEDED TO REDUCE ANY INTERFERENCE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I OWN A TOYOTA COROLLA 2007. I PURCHASED IT AS A BRAND NEW CAR. I HAVE BEEN ENCOUNTERING MANY LIFE- THREATENING EXPERIENCES FOR UNWANTED ACCELERATION WHILE I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL IN MY CAR. I NOTICED THAT THE UNSAFE ARRANGEMENT AND DESIGN OF PEDALS ENGAGE THE GAS PEDAL WHILE PUSHING THE BRAKE PEDAL. IN ONE INCIDENT I HARDLY AVOID GOING UNDERNEATH A TRUCK JUST BY TURNING OFF THE CAR. I REALLY FEEL UNSAFE WHEN I DRIVE MY CAR. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HER NEW (ONE MONTH OLD) 2008 TOYOTA COROLLA (BASIC 4-DOOR SEDAN) ON A LOCAL EXPRESSWAY WHEN THE CAR IN FRONT BRAKED ABRUPTLY. MY WIFE APPLIED THE BRAKES BUT COULD NOT BRING THE CAR TO A COMPLETE HALT EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS CONSIDERABLE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE TWO VEHICLES. SHE COMPLAINED THAT THE BRAKES WERE "LOOSE". WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY, BUT THEY TOLD US THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES. WE LEFT THINKING MAYBE IT WAS OUR DRIVING- THOUGH WE ARE VERY SAFE DRIVERS. SINCE THEN, WHENEVER I DROVE THE VEHICLE, A NUMBER OF TIMES I FOUND THAT THE CAR DOES NOT STOP WHEN I BRAKE, AND I USUALLY HAVE TO SWERVE TO THE SIDE TO AVOID THE CAR IN THE FRONT. WE HAVE FOUND THIS PROBLEM WHEN WE ARE DRIVING USUALLY BETWEEN 35-45MPH SPEED. NOW WITH TOYOTA DISCOVERING PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES IN 2009-10 VEHICLES, I SUSPECT THIS PROBLEM ALSO EXISTS IN THE 2008 TOYOTA COROLLA VEHICLES AS WELL. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WITH MY 3YR OLD SON WHEN MY CARS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT POPPED ON AND THE CAR TURNED OFF AND IMMEDIATELY STARTED SLOWING DOWN. IT WAS NIGHT TIME AND AFTER A LARGE SNOW STORM SO I WAS UNABLE TO GET OFF THE SHOULDER FULLY. LUCKILY A POLICE OFFICER CAME AND SAID I WAS IN A VERY DANGEROUS POSITION AND THAT SHE WAS GOING TO SPEED UP THE PROCESS BY CALLING A TOW AGENCY HERSELF. SHE THEN CORNERED HER CAR WITH LIGHTS ON TO ADD SOME SAFETY. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE THEY STATED NOTHING WAS PHYSICALLY WRONG WITH THE CAR BUT THE COMPUTER HAD DIED. I CALLED TOYOTA TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANYTHING THAT THEY COULD DO AND THEY STATED THEY WERE AWARE THIS WAS A STANDARD PROBLEM BUT SINCE THE CAR WAS OVER 80,000 MILES THAT IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND WOULD BE FULL PRICE TO FIX. I STATED THAT I FELT WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR THEY NEEDED TO INFORM ME THAT AFTER 80,000 MILES MY CAR HAD THE POTENTIAL TO SHUT DOWN AT ANYTIME. I CAN ASSURE YOU I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED IT. I HAD TO ORDER A NEW PART WHICH IS STILL NOT GUARANTEED. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SCAM BY TOYOTA TO ENSURE THAT THEY ARE STILL MAKING MONEY ON CARS EVEN WHEN YOU TAKE THE BEST OF CARE. *TR

CAR MOVING FORWARD AS I LET UP ON THE ACCELERATOR. IT ALSO JERKS WHEN I QUICKLY REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE PEDAL FOR A FEW SECONDS AND BEFORE I PLACE MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE ALTIMETER GOES UP AND DOWN SEVERAL TIMES WHEN I DO THIS AS IF IT IS STALLING OUT. IT HAS DONE THIS EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR AND I HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG ACCORDING TO THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE SO I STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. *TR

THIS DESCRIPTION IS CORRECTING MY DESCRIPTION I JUST FILED WITH YOU. AS SOON AS I STARTED DRIVING MY CAR UPON LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR, I NOTICED IT MOVED FORWARD AS IF BEING BUMPED FROM BEHIND AS I LET UP ON THE ACCELERATOR. ALSO, IF I REMOVED MY FOOT QUICKLY FROM THE PEDAL AND WAITED A FEW SECONDS BEFORE PLACING MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR WOULD MAKE JERKY MOTIONS AND THE TACHOMETER (RPM) WOULD JUMP WILDLY. I DIDN'T KNOW IF THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE ACCELERATOR OR IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I BROUGHT IT TO THE TWICE FOR THE PROBLEM BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING SHOWING UP ON THE DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER CHECK THE FIRST TIME. THE SERVICE TECH DID HAVE TO RE-SET THE ORIGINAL SETTING ON SOMETHING AND HE TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK IF THAT DIDN'T FIX IT. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTED SO I BROUGHT IT BACK THE SECOND TIME AND THE TECH RODE WITH ME AND HE ALSO FELT WHAT I WAS EXPERIENCING. HE TRIED TO EXPLAIN IT AWAY BUT I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT IT WAS THE CAR GETTING USED TO A NEW DRIVER AS HE SAID IT WAS BECAUSE IT IS STILL HAVING THE PROBLEM AND I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR FOR 1,225. *TR

TOYOTA COROLLA LE 2010 DID NOT RESPOND TO BRAKES PROPERLY FOR 100 FEET WHEN SLOWING FROM 10 MPH AT INTERSECTION. ROAD WAS SLIGHTLY DAMP BUT NOT FROZEN OR SLIPPERY. ABS & VSC LIGHTS WENT ON BRAKES GROUND SO LOUDLY AS I APPLIED MORE PRESSURE, IT SOUNDED AS THOUGH THEY'D BREAK OFF. 2 TOYOTA SERVICE DEPTS HAVE DISMISSED MY CONCERNS SAYING THE ROADS MUST HAVE BEEN WORSE THAN I THOUGHT. I'VE BEEN DRIVING FOR 35 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS KIND OF OUT OF CONTROL VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THERE IS SOMETHING IN THE CHIP OR SOFTWARE OR COMPLETE BRAKE/VSC/GAS PEDAL COMBO. VERY CONCERNED TOYOTA GAS PEDAL FIX IS NOT THE COMPLETE CULPRIT. *TR

FAILURE OF BRAKES WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS IN THE ROAD. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT HAS HAPPENED QUITE FREQUENTLY. I LIVE ON A DIRT ROAD WHICH IS WASH-BOARD BUMPY. I ALSO EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM PULLING INTO MY PARKING SPOT AT WORK WHICH IS BUMPY. THE BRAKES FAIL AND THE CAR MAKES A NOISE WHEN GOING OVER THE BUMPS. AFTER THE BUMPS, IT CORRECTS ITSELF. NO CARS I HAVE DRIVEN OVER THE SAME CONDITIONS HAS EXHIBITED THIS PROBLEM. I HEARD ABOUT THE PRIUS PROBLEM AND THAT WAS THE EXACT PROBLEM I HAD EXPERIENCED. I AM NOT SURE HOW LONG IT HAS HAPPENED, OR HOW MANY MILES I HAD ON THE CAR WHEN I NOTICED IT THE FIRST TIME. ALL I KNOW IS THAT IT IS STILL HAPPENING. *TR
