EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEADLAMPS ON 1998 TOYOTA COROLLA HAVE FOGGED COMPLETELY OVER. THE FOGGING IS ON THE EXTERNAL LENS SURFACE, NOT DUE TO MOISTURE ON THE INSIDE OF THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY. ATTEMPTS TO CLEAN THE SURFACE AR TEMPORARY, WITH THE FOGGING RETURNING AFTER A FEW DAYS. THE FOGGED LENSES ARE A HAZARD AS THE LIGHT IS GREATLY DIMINISHED OVER A CLEAR LENS. *TR

STEERING
WE PURCHASED A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA IN SEP 2009. THE DAY AFTER WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WE NOTICED THE EPS SYSTEM WAS VERY ERRATIC, CAUSING CONSTANT CORRECTIONS. THIS IS MORE NOTICEABLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THEREFORE ON THE "TEST" DRIVE, WE DIDN'T REALIZE THE EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM. THE CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES WITH NO RESOLUTION. WE HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA WITH THE PROBLEM AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS "THE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE IS WITHIN DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS." THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. TOYOTA DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED A VEHICLE WITH A STEERING SYSTEM THAT IS UNSTABLE, DISTRACTING AND UNSAFE. FOR A COMPANY THAT ADVERTISES SAFETY AND RELIABILITY, I WOULD THINK THEY WOULD BE RESPONSIVE TO SO MANY SAFETY CONCERNS WITH THE COROLLA'S ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM. EVEN THE TECHNICIANS AGREE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN. WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME RESOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS FATALLY INJURED. *TR

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE
I BOUGHT A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA AND HAD THE PEDAL STICKING TWICE IN COLD WEATHER . WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER SHIP I WAS ADVISED THAT EVERYTHING WAS FINE AND I ASK IF THEY HAD ANY PROBLEMS . I WAS TOLD NO IN FACT THEY DID NOT EVEN BOTHER TAKING DOWN MY COMPLAINT. I AGAIN RETURNED TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AFTER THE STORY BROKE ON THE NEWS. I AM NOW BEING TOLD THAT IT ONLY EFFECTS SOME CAMRY AND NOT THE COROLLA. I FEEL THAT TOYOTA HAS GONE OUT OF ITS WAY TO HIDE THIS FROM THE PUBLIC. FURTHER THE LAST TIME THE PEDAL STUCK I WAS ON THE HIGH WAY GOING 50 MPH. AND HAD TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND PUMP THE PEDAL UNTIL IT RETURNED TO NORMAL. AGAIN PLEASE NOT THAT THIS INFORMATION WAS GIVEN TO THEM BEFORE IT WAS MADE PUBLIC IN THE NEWS.AFTER I BECAME AWARE OF THE NEWS . I TOOK IT BACK TO THEM AND THIS TIME THEY HAVE NO WAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HOPE THAT THE NHTSA LOOK INTO HOW MANY PEOPLE BROUGHT THIS TO TOYOTA ATTENTION ONLY TO BE TOLD THERE WAS NOT A PROBLEM , HOW MANY PEOPLE DIED OR HAVE BEEN HURT BECAUSE TOYOTA TRIED TO HIDE THE PROBLEM. AND WHAT AM I GOING TO DO OR WHAT THEY PLAN TO DO TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT. I NEED TO OPERATE MY VEHICLE , I HOPE I OR ANY OTHER PERSON ADD TO THE ACCIDENT COUNT... *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
CAR: 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA LE WHEN DRIVING THE CAR AROUND A TURN, ACCELERATOR PEDAL LOST POWER, THE CAR STALLED AND THE ENGINE DIED. THIS HAPPENED WITHIN A FEW SECONDS. ON TRYING TO RESTART, THE CAR SPUTTERED FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN DIED AGAIN. AND, AFTER THAT THE CAR ENGINE WOULD NOT START AT ALL. THERE WAS NO POWER IN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AT ALL.

STEERING
MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA IS UNSAFE, BECAUSE OF ITS STEERING MECHANISM. THE CAR STABILITY IS UNSAFE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, BECAUSE IT DRIVES ALL OVER THE ROAD. IT FEELS LIKE I'M DRIVING ON BLACK ICE ,CONSTANTLY, TRYING TO COMPENSATE FOR THE OVER STEER. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS EVERYTIME DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS WILL CAUSE A ACCIDENT IF I CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS CAR. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ONLY TO HEAR THEM SAY THAT THE CAR IS WITHIN SPEC. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA WILL STALL OR LOSE POWER AT RANDOM TIMES. IT HAS THE ENGINE LIGHT ON AND REPORTS CODES P0171 & P2716. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN THE PAST 2 WEEKS. ONE TIME I WAS DRIVING 60 MPH ON THE FREEWAY AND WAS ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND. ANOTHER TIME I WAS TURNING LEFT AT A INTERSECTION AND JUST MADE IT THROUGH BUT CARS WERE HONKING AND ABOUT HIT ME. DEALER INFORMED ME THERE IS A TSB FROM TOYOTA AS IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND COMMON PROBLEM. MY CAR IS OUT OF THE 8 YR OR 80,000 MILE WARRANTY SO IT WOULD BE AROUND $1000.00 TO FIX. FRUSTRATED AS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WHICH HAS SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS AND I HAVE TO PAY $1000 TO FIX THEIR ISSUE. *TR
