AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
THE SUBJECT VEHICLES MAY BE EQUIPPED WITH AN ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (ECU) FROM A SPECIFIC SUPPLIER DESIGNED TO RECEIVE SIGNALS FROM CRASH SENSORS AND DEPLOY THE AIRBAGS AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONERS. THE ECU MAY NOT HAVE ADEQUATE PROTECTION AGAINST CERTAIN ELECTRICAL NOISE THAT CAN OCCUR IN CERTAIN CRASHES, SUCH AS SEVERE UNDERRIDE CRASHES. THIS CAN LEAD TO INCOMPLETE OR NONDEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS AND/OR SEAT BELT PRETENSIONERS.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ABOUT A YEAR AFTER HAVING MY NEW CAR. IT STARTING SHIFTING HARD OUT OF GEAR WHEN I TOOK IT TO GET MAINTANCE THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. WHEN THE MAINTANCE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC SHOP. AND THEY SAID IT MIGHT BE A COMPUTER RELATED. THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD DOBA TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE SO I TOOK IT TO TOYOTA TO HAVE THE FLUID CHANGE TO SEE IF THAT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM BUT IT DIDNT HERE RECENTLY LIKE 5 MONTHS AGO IT STARTED TO SHIFT REALLY BAD. AND WOULD KICK BACK LIKE IF IT WAS GOING TO SPEED BUT IT DOESNT MOVE ANY FASTER WONT LET ME GO PASS THE SPEED LIMIT OF 40 WHEN IN REGULAR DRIVE IT RPMS WILL GO UPP REALLY HIGH EVERY TIME IT KICKS BACK. ITS GOTTEN SO BAD I CANT DRIVE IT FAR PLACES CAUSE IT ONLY DRIVES SMOOTH IN 3RD. GEAR I CANT DRIVE IT ON HIGHWAYS CAUSE IT WONT GO UP TO THE SPEED LIMIT IN THE CITY IT RPMS TO HIGH AND THE CAR HAS A JERKY FEELING. I WAS TOLD TOYOTAS LAST A LONG TIME THATS WHY I WENT WITH TOYOTA CAUSE I NEEDED A RELIABLE CAR. BUT EVERYONE I SPOKE WITH HAS TOLD ME IT DOESNT SOUND RIGHT FOR A TOYOTAS TRANSMISION TO GO OUT AT 130000 MIOES THAT THEY ALWAYS LAST AT LEAST 300000 TO 500000 MILES SO I FEEL LIKE IT SHOULD BE RECALLED

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEADLIGHTS ARE INADEQUATE, EVEN DANGEROUS. YOU CAN SEE A DISTINCT "HORIZON LINE" IN FRONT OF THE CAR WHICH HAS A SHARP CUTOFF ABOVE WHICH THERE IS NO ILLUMINATION. IN SPITE OF THEIR EXTREME INTENSITY, THESE HEADLIGHTS ILLUMINATE EVERYTHING BUT THE ROAD AHEAD. MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I AM DRIVING WITHOUT HEADLIGHTS. I THOUGHT THEY WERE NOT ALIGNED PROPERLY BUT DEALER SAYS THEY LOOK OK. I HAVE SINCE OBSERVED MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON VARIOUS WEB SITES FOR THE COROLLA OVER SEVERAL MODEL YEARS. HERE IS ONE OF MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FOUND ON THE WEB: "THE MAIN FRONT LED LOW BEAM IS A PROBLEM ON ALL TRIMS OF THIS CURRENT GENERATION. IT IS TOO BRIGHT AND BLINDS ONCOMING DRIVERS, THERE IS ALSO A HARD CUTOFF LINE IN WHICH YOU CAN'T SEE ANYTHING ABOVE IT. THEY ALSO POORLY LIGHT THE ROAD. THE BEAM GOES EVERYWHERE BUT THE ROAD. IT SEEMS THEY ARE INCORRECTLY AIMED." "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?" ONLY ALLOWS FOR A SINGLE DATE. THIS IS A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM. WHICH OCCURS ANYTIME YOU TRY TO DRIVE AT NIGHT.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), SEAT BELTS
I WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT ON 2/20/2020 MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. I FELT MY 2016 TOYOTA COROLLA LOSE TRACTION ON THE ROAD AND START TO SLIP. MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT NEVER CAME ON AND I NEVER FELT IT ENGAGE. I HYDROPLANED, MY CAR HIT A GUARDRAIL HEAD ON, MY SEAT BELT DID NOT TIGHTEN WHICH CAUSED ME TO HIT MY HEAD AND CHEST ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND DASH AS WELL AS INJURIES TO MY NECK FROM BEING SLUNG FORWARD. MY VEHICLE CONTINUED TO IMPACT THE GUARDRAIL. MY AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY WHICH ALSO CAUSED ME TO HIT MY HEAD AND SHOULDER HARD ON THE DRIVER WINDOW/DOOR. UPON THE MULTIPLE IMPACTS AND DESPITE SENSORS BEING STRUCK, MY AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY THROUGHOUT MY VEHICLE AND MY SEAT BELT FAILED TO TIGHTEN. CAUSING INJURY TO DIFFERENT AREAS OF MY BODY.

NHTSA RECALL NO. 19V-741: I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA REGARDING THIS RECALL. I'M ATTACHING COPIES OF THE LETTER, ON WHICH I WROTE NOTES OF MY CONVERSATIONS WITH TOYOTA AND WITH THE DEALERSHIP. I HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW SOME INFORMATION I BELIEVE IS RELEVANT TO MY COMPLAINT. HALL TOYOTA OF ELIZABETH CITY IS THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP TO ME, AND IS ALMOST 2 HOURS DRIVE AWAY (ABOUT 90 MILES). THE RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA STATES, "IF YOU ARE UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR LOCAL AUTHORIZED TOYOTA DEALER WHO WILL ARRANGE FOR VEHICLE PICK UP." THE DEALERSHIP ASSIGNED ME AN ADVISOR, RUSS, WHO SAID I NEEDED TO CALL TOYOTA TO HAVE THEM OPEN A CASE AND GIVE ME A CASE NUMBER. RUSS SAID TOYOTA WOULD THEN CALL THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WOULD WORK OUT ARRANGEMENTS TO PICK UP MY VEHICLE. I CALLED TOYOTA AND SPOKE WITH SOMEONE NAMED RAFAEL, WHO GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER (2002102338), BUT SAID THE DEALERSHIP WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TOWING CHARGE. HE SAID TOYOTA WAS NOT GOING TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP, AND THAT I NEEDED TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP TO ARRANGE TOWING. I CALLED RUSS AT THE DEALERSHIP, WHO SAID HIS SUPERVISOR WAS TALKING TO TOYOTA AND HE WOULD CALL ME LATER. THE NEXT DAY, AFTER NOT HEARING BACK, I CALLED RUSS, WHO SAID HIS SUPERVISOR HAD NOT YET HEARD BACK FROM TOYOTA, AND THE SUPERVISOR WOULD CALL ME WHEN HE HAD INFORMATION FROM TOYOTA. LATER THAT DAY RUSS CALLED ME TO SAY TOYOTA AGREED TO COVER $120 OF THE TOWING CHARGE, WHICH RUSS SAID WOULD RUN AROUND $500 TO $550. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT PAY THE DIFFERENCE, SO I WOULD NEED TO PAY THE REST MYSELF. THIS SEEMS CONTRARY TO WHAT IS STATED IN TOYOTA'S LETTER. RAFAEL AT TOYOTA STATED THEY ABSOLUTELY WERE NOT RECOMMENDING I DRIVE 2 HOURS TO THE DEALERSHIP. I SEEM TO BE LEFT WITH NO GOOD OPTION. I'M OBVIOUSLY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT I SHOULDN'T NEED TO PAY $400+.

AIR BAGS
DURING MY SCHEDULED VISIT TO ROGERS AND ROGERS NISSAN IN THE CITY OF IMPERIAL CA. I FELT THAT I WAS TREATED UNFAIRLY BECAUSE I WAS THE LAST PERSON TO BE ATTENDED OUT OF SEVERAL VEHICLES THAT CAME AFTER ME. I WAS INFORMED THAT REPAIRING THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG WOULD TAKE OVER THREE HOURS. I WAS NOT OFFERED A RIDE HOME NOR ANY EFFORTS WERE MADE BY ROGERS AND ROGERS PERSONNEL TO ADDRESS MY CONCERNS WHEN I INFORMED THEM THAT I NEEDED MY VEHICLE AND COULD NOT WAIT THREE HOURS. I CONTINUE TO RECEIVE LETTERS AND EMAILS INFORMING ME OF THE URGENCY OF REPAIRING THE AIRBAGS, BUT I FEEL THAT ROGERS AND ROGERS IS NOT MAKING IT A PRIORITY. PLEASE ASSIST ME.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE SCREEN THAT CONTAINS ALL HANDS FREE OPTIONS CONTINUOUSLY ACTS AS IF IT IS REBOOTING AND NEVER FINISHES. IT HAPPENED AT 70,000 MILES AND DID THIS SUDDENLY. IT HAS NEVER WORKED SINCE AND WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO SPEND $1,000 FOR A NEW ONE WHEN IT WASN'T OUR FAULT. THIS IS A MAJOR DISTRACTION WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT AND HAVE A HARD TIME SEEING IF A DEER COMES OUT OR OTHER THINGS I NEED TO WATCH FOR. I HAVE ADHD AND SO THIS CAUSES MORE PROBLEMS FOR ME THAN MAYBE OTHERS. IT FLASHES REALLY BRIGHT AND GOES DIM BUT CONTINUES TO DO THIS THE WHOLE TIME. THIS IS A DANGER FOR ME BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF LIGHT THAT EXUDES OFF OF THE SCREEN AND NEVER STOPS. IT ALSO IS A SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO MYSELF NOT BEING ABLE TO USE ANY OF THE HANDS FREE OPTIONS. THIS MUST BE CALLED IN FOR A RECALL BECAUSE IT IS DANGEROUS TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN.

AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
LAST WEEK WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY CAR THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS SO WORRIED FOR MY SAFETY TO DRIVE MY CAR. I WENT ONLINE TO SEARCH IF MY CAR HAD A AIRBAG RECALL AND IT DID. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO DO THE REPAIR. WHILE I WAS WAITING THERE THEY TOLD ME THAT MY CAR HAD ANOTHER PROBLEM, I WAS SUPPOSED TO REPLACE THE SPIRAL CABLE (CODE B1811). IF I DIDN'T REPLACE THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS STILL GOING TO BE THERE AND THE AIRBAG WASN'T GOING TO WORK IF I REPLACE THEM . THE HORN ON MY CAR HASN'T BEEN WORKING FOR SO MANY YEARS AND I DIDN'T KNOW THAT WAS CONNECTED WITH THE SPIRAL CABLE ASSEMBLY. I PAID $510.22 TO REPLACE THAT. I'M THE ONLY OWNER FOR THAT CAR. TOYOTA COMPANY SHOULD HAVE A RECALL FOR THE SPIRAL CABLE BECAUSE IT IS CONNECTED TO THE AIRBAG AND WE AS A CUSTOMER SHOULD NOT PAY FOR REPLACEMENT.MY CAR HAD 11 RECALLS SO FAR. OTHER TOYOTA'S HAVE RECALLS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM BUT NOT WITH 2005 YEAR OLD TOYOTA'S.

STEERING
WHEN IT'S A LITTLE COLD OUT AND I START UP MY CAR,MY STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT TURN, IT'S LIKE IT IS LOCKED. UNTIL IT WARMS UP A BIT I CAN'T AND WILL NOT MOVE IT UNTIL IT BECOMES NORMAL AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE THE BEGINNING OF OCT. 2019.I UNDERSTAND IT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE ELECTRONIC STEERING COMPONENT. I AM VERY CONCERNED IT MAY LOCK UP ON ME WHILE I'M DRIVING AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT??

I WAS DRIVING ALONG A SUBURBAN STREET WITH LITTLE TRAFFIC IN NICE WEATHER WHEN I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A LIKE A LOUD EXPLOSION. I THOUGHT I GOT SHOT BY A GUN BUT I DIDN'T FEEL ANY PAIN SO I THOUGHT MY CAR WAS SHOT. WHEN I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF MY VEHICLE TO CHECK THE DAMAGE, I WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG. LATER ON, MY HUSBAND SAW THE SUNROOF SHATTERED IN OUR GARAGE, SOMETHING I COULD NOT SEE BECAUSE OF MY HEIGHT.

THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH 3 OF THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY ON MY 2014 COROLLA. THE KEY FOB WOULD NOT ACTIVATE THEM. I BROUGHT IT IN FOR SERVICE ON 2/8/2020 AND THE DEALER CONFIRMED THEY WERE FAULTY AND WOULD ORDER THE PARTS. WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS, THE 4TH ACTUATOR AND THE TRUNK LOCK ACTUATOR ALSO FAILED. I BOUGHT IT IN ON 2/15/2020 TO HAVE THE FIRST 3 FIXED AND ALSO TO CONFIRM THE PROBLEM WITH THE OTHER 2 ISSUES SO THOSE PARTS COULD BE ORDERED. I WAS TOLD THE COST TO FIX THE FIRST 3 WOULD BE ABOUT $1500! THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I PURCHASED HAD EXPIRED AND SO I COULD NOT AFFORD THIS. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE CONSULTANT THAT HE'S SEEN THIS PROBLEM WITH COROLLAS. I LOOKED ON LINE AND HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME VEHICLE ABOUT THIS SAME SITUATION. WITH THIS NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS, I WOULD THINK THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL BY TOYOTA AS THIS CAN BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE, CONSIDERING IT TAKES LONGER FOR PEOPLE TO GET IN THEIR WHICH CAN SUBJECT THEM TO POSSIBLE CRIMINAL ACTIVITY. THEY ALSO SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND FIX THEM AT NO CHARGE BECAUSE THEY KNOW IT'S A PROBLEM. I'VE ATTACHED THE SERVICE FOR 2/15/2020 JUST TO SHOW THAT I DID BRING IT IN.
