AIR BAGS, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
SINCE I HAVE HAD THE CAR I HAD AN ISSUES. I HAVE CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION TWICE. IT USED TO BLOW THREW BRAKE PADS UNTIL I PAID TO HAVE THAT REPAIRED. OIL CONSUMPTION WAS A QUART NOW MY PISTON ISN'T WORKING. I CALLED TOYOTA EVEN ABOUT SAFETY BAG RECALL WHICH NEVER GOT FIXED. I WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON MY CAR AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. WHEN I TOLD ABOUT AIR BAG RECALL I SAW ON THE NEWS I WAS TOLD THEY WILL BE SENDING ALL THE INFORMATION IN THE MAIL. IT NEVER CAME. I WOULD LIKE HAVE MY MONEY BACK. THE COST OF REPAIRS. I HAVE ALWAYS BOUGHT TOYOTA. THIS HAS BEEN UNFAIR NOT LETTING YOUR CUSTOMER RECEIVE THE REPAIRS DUE TO THEM FOR INSTALLING FAULTY PARTS. I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING AND NOW I NEED TO GET A NEW PISTON. 02/082020

POWER TRAIN
SPECIAL SERVICE CAMPAIGN JSD PERFORMED ON NOV 03, 2019. THE SOFTWARE COMPONENT WAS UPDATED, HOWEVER THE SOLENOID VALVE INSPECTION AND THE VALVE BODY ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT WAS DETERMINED AS "NOT REQUIRED". SINCE THEN THE CVT SEEMS TO HAVE STARTED TO FAIL. AT THIS POINT IN TIME THE TRANSMISSION MAKES NOISE WHILE ACCELERATING AND DECELERATING. THE DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDS THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION AND SITES ISSUES WITH THE BELT IN THE CVT. *LN THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED WITH A USED TRANSMISSION. CONSUMER INFORMED MANUFACTURER OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO HELP BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. *DL

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WE PURCHASED MY CAR IN 2014 NEW. COME 2015 WE HAD TO REPLACE THE CHARCOAL CANISTER. I BELIEVE THE CAR HAD @60,000 MILES (YES, THAT'S A LOT BUT THOSE ARE MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES)ON IT AT THIS TIME. LUCKILY IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. 7/ 2019 WE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. LESS THAN 60, 000 MILES MORE HAD BEEN PUT ON AT THIS TIME. GUESS WHAT NO WARRANTY.! $1,000 LATER WE HAVE A NEW CHARCOAL CANISTER. IT IS NOW 2/2020 , WE ARE AT 145,000 MILES NOW AND GUESS WHAT? SAME PROBLEM. WE'VE CHANGED GAS CAPS. WE'VE DONE FUEL TREATMENTS. WE ARE NOW WAITING ON CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME BACK ON SO WE CAN TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP (WHY IS IT OFF? BECAUSE WE JUST PURCHASED THE 3RD GAS CAP IN 6MTHS AND HAD TO RESET IT TO SEE IF THE GAS CAP WAS THE CAUSE.) PROBLEMS: CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, I COULD HEAR THE FUEL BEING PUSHED THROUGH THE LINES, IT WOULD MISS AS YOU GIVE IT GAS.SOMETIMES IT'SWHEN YOU ARE TAKING OFF BUT IT DONE IT WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY ALSO, THE CRUISING RANGE IS NOT ACCURATE (EX: I JUST FILLED UP. USUALLY IT GIVES ME 428 MILES NOW ITS TELLING ME 376) AND THE ECO LIGHT GOES OFF. NOW THE 1ST 2 TIMES WERE KIND OF DIFFERENT THAN THIS TIME. I THINK WERE ARE IN THE BEGINNING STAGES AT THIS POINT NOW FOR THE 3RD TIME.

MY CAR HAS 91,414 MILES AND HAS HAD MULTIPLE CYLINDER MISFIRES WITH MY NORMAL DAILY COMMUTE OF SIX MILES EACH WAY. IN THREE YEARS ON A 4 CYLINDER ENGINE I HAVE HAD THREE IGNITION COILS REPLACED, TWICE WITHIN TWO AND A HALF YEARS AND 10,468 MILES ON THE #2 COIL. ALL REPAIRS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED BY TOYOTA CERTIFIED REPAIR FACILITIES WITH TOYOTA OEM PARTS. THIS IS NOT NORMAL FOR A LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE MAINTAINED WITH REGULAR SERVICE.

AIR BAGS
ON FEBRUARY 4, 2020, I TOOK MY TOYOTA COROLLA TO JIM NORTON TOYOTA OF OKC, 8401 NW EXPRESSWAY,OKLAHOMA CITY, OK 73162, (405) 721-1911, FOR A SAFETY RECALL. THEY DID WORK ON MY CAR. THEY SAID THAT THEY DID REPLACE THE AIR BAG, BUT IT WOULD NOT WORK IF I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT. THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON, INDICATING THAT THE WIRE RELATED TO IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY SAID THE COST OF DOING THE WIRE REPLACEMENT IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. IT WOULD COST ABOUT $700.00 TO HAVE THE WIRE REPLACED. IT SEEMS THAT THE WIRE REPLACEMENT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE WITH THE ORIGINAL BAG REPLACEMENT SINCE IT WON'T WORK WITHOUT IT. AM I REQUIRED TO PAY THE $700.00 TO GET THE AIRBAG IN PROPER WORKING ORDER? THE RECALL NOTICE SAYS THAT THE REMEDY FOR THE SAFETY RECALL WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE TO ME.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
IN AN EMPTY PARKING LOT AROUND NOONTIME ON A SUNNY DAY, I WAS TRYING TO PARK MY CAR. THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE FORWARD MODE. I FULLY STOPPED FOR PARKING THE CAR; I HAD TO BACKUP A LITTLE BIT. AFTER FULL STOP (TO PROTECT MY TRANSMISSION), I MOVED THE GEAR STICK FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE AND DRIVE STICK WAS SHOWING ME, I AM IN REVERSE, BUT THE CAR INSTEAD OF GOING BACK, STARTED MOVING FORWARD. FORTUNATELY, THE PARKING LOT WAS EMPTY AND NOBODY GOT HURT, OTHERWISE THIS WOULD HAVE SERIOUSLY INJURED SOMEBODY IN FRONT OF THE CAR. HOWEVER, WHEN I MOVED THE DRIVE STICK FROM DRIVE TO PARK AND THEN COME BACK TO REVERSE THIS DID NOT HAPPEN. I STARTED SEARCHING IN INTERNET WHETHER ANYBODY ELSE HAS EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. I FOUND OUT THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AND FOR FIXING THE PROBLEM WHAT THEY HAD TO DO HAD TO UPDATE THE CAR'S COMPUTER SOFTWARE, OTHERWISE IF ONE AFTER FULL STOP GOES FROM DRIVE DIRECTLY TO REVERSE, THE CAR MIGHT START GOING FORWARD. THIS PROBLEM, WITHOUT SOFTWARE UPDATE CAN HAPPEN ONLY IN CERTAIN BATCH OF THE CARS. SO MAKE SURE YOU TEST YOUR CAR AND IF YOU HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR AND TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR SOFTWARE UPDATE. *BF CONSUMER STATED IT RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES.*JB

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY
ON 01-22-20, IN AUSTIN TEXAS MY DAUGHTER, [XXX], WAS KILLED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING HER 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE OTHER VEHICLE THAT WAS INVOLVED IN THE HEAD ON COLLISION WAS DRIVING A 1993 CHEVROLET SILVERADO PICKUP. WHEN THE VEHICLES COLLIDED MY DAUGHTER WAS KILLED BECAUSE SHE WAS PINNED AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL, UNFORTUNATELY THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND SAVE HER. THE OTHER DRIVER RECEIVED SEVERE FACIAL INJURIES. WHY DIDN'T HER AIRBAGS DEPLOY? WHY DID HER 2007 TOYOTA HAVE A HIGH SAFETY RATING BUT YET SHE WAS PINNED BE HER STEERING WHEEL? *TR*DT *TP*DT 'PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *DT*JB

WHENEVER CRUISE CONTROL IS APPLIED AND I'M GOING DOWNHILL ON THE HIGHWAY, IT WILL ACCELERATE 5 TO 10 MILES AN HOUR AND THE RPM HAND WOULD REV UP DURING THE EXCESSIVE SPEED UP. I WAS TOLD THIS IS NORMAL BUT I DON'T THINK SO.
