AIR BAGS, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, VISIBILITY/WIPER
I was notified of the air bag recall a year ago but the car dealerships in my area does not have the parts and I need to use my vehicle daily. So I am not sure what to do from here for that but I believe that the appropriate time to remedy this recall has past already and the fact that we have our children riding with us and we are unaware that their life is in danger or because we can not get it fixed is not acceptable. Then on top of that I am having issues like when my 2011 Corolla is sitting idle it will rev up the engine without touching the gas pedal and does this randomly and without warning and also while I am driving around 55 MPH on the interstate or highway sometimes it will dramatically drop and lose about 10- 15 MPH speed for no reason and this happens randomly as well. And this fluctuation happens during cruise control the most so I no longer even use that function. Also both headlights have moisture in them and are so fogged up now that visibility is almost impossible at night now. Also the weather striping around all my windows have dry rotted and broke off and there is practically nothing left of stripping anymore. Then the center dash above the radio just broke and gave out under my phone holder while driving, it broke into about 15 different pieces. I know that my phone or the holder is even close to heavy enough to cause the dash panel to cave in like that. I called to get a price on the dash and it was like $250+ and who can afford that for a piece of plastic. Lastly my driver and passenger seat will get stuck if you try adjusting them and sometimes it will let you move the seat but to do so you have to hop up and down for several minutes and throughout the adjustment to get the seat to move in any direction.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I have had my 2009 Toyota Corolla since day 1. I seen another post in here that is having the same issue as myself. I have had to replace my battery 3 times all because the “wiring harness” on this vehicle is faulty. Toyota knew about this beforehand. As customers we put our trust and faith in these big corporations to do the right thing when making these vehicles. We, as customers, shouldn’t have to purchase and pay for labor when all while Toyota was aware of the faulty wiring harness. This causes more issues than 1 because it controls everything inside and outside of your car.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
My Toyota power door lock actuators continue to fail, even after multiple replacements. The failure mode starts as intermittent operation, often leaving doors unlocked when using the electronic locking system. Eventually the door lock actuator fails to respond at all. The intermittent nature of the failure onset puts consumers at risk for not realizing the system left their car unlocked, providing an opportunity for someone to enter the vehicle and wait in the car for vehicle owner to return or to have things stolen from the vehicle. Based on the repeated failures, the actuator design or manufacturing process is clearly defective. The repeated actuator failures requires the customer to be vigilant for failures and the pay for replacement, several hundreds of dollars each time, out of their own pocket since Toyota refuses to acknowledge an egregious failure rate on their power door lock mechanisms. Cynical observers may note that the failures generate a regular revenue stream for Toyota service departments. Thank you for your time.

THIS VEHICLE HAS NO GPS SUPPORT FOR ANDROID. WE PURCHASED FOR OUR DAUGHTER SO SHE WOULD NOT LOOK AT HER PHONE WHILE DRIVING BUT DID DINNER REASON TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVES SAID WE HAD TO GO THRU SIRIUS SATELLITE RADIO TO USE THE HEAD UNIT OF THE CAR FOR GPS. THIS IS A COMPLETELY UNSAFE SITUATION FOR SUCH A NEW CAR.

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE TRANSMISSION ON THE VEHICLE HAS A TITAL OF 19,752MILES AS OF 5/3/2021. THE VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED DUE TO A "BAD CYLENOID" IN THE TRANSMISSION. I AM A 90 YEAR OLD WOMAN WHO WENT TO MY PHYSICIANS OFFICE AFTER MY APPOINTMENT I GIT IN THE CAR AND ATTEMPTED TO PLACE THE CAR IN REVERSE WHEN IT FAILED TO MOVE. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE AND WAS SHOCKED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM ESPECIALLY DIBCE I HAD JUST TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE . DURING THAT MAINTENANCE THERE WERE NO NOTED PROBLEM BOUGHT TO MY STTENTIO. HENCE I FELL THAT THIS IS A SEVERE MANUFACTURERES DEFECR. I'M CONCERNED THAT THERE IS A SERIOUS DEFECT AND RELATED ISDUES DUE TO THE DEDIGN OR MANUFACTURING OF THE CVT TRANSMISSION WHICH I UNDERSTAND IS A BIG ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN ENCOUNTERED IN TOYOTA'S 2014 TO 2019 LINE OF VEHICLES. WHILE IT SEEMS THAT NO RECALL WERE FORMALLY ISSUED, I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A HUGE PROBLEM BASED ON THE FAILURE OF THE CVT TRAMSMISSION... GIVEN THAT THE NORMAL TRANSMISSION MILEAGE FOR THIS MODEL IS ~ 250K MILES SO I STRONGLY FEEL THIS SITUATION IS SUSPECT. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT VEHICLES WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION ARE SUBJECT TO A SPECIAL SERVICE CAMPAIGN. AS SUCH, I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT MY VEHICLE FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION UNDER THIS STATUS AS I DESIRE TO SECURE A FAVORABLE REMEDY FOR THIS MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. I WOULD LIKE ASSISTANCE IS EXPLORING MY OPTIONS TO GET MY VEJICLE BACK ON THE ROAD WITHOUT MY HAVING TO COME OUT OF POCKET WITH TBOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO CORRECT THE MANUFACTURER'S KNOWN DEFECT.
