ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DECELERATED ON ITS OWN IN TRAFFIC. THE CONTACT PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK, SHUT OFF, AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. AFTERWARDS, THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME SAFELY. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING 20-40 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED WHILE SHIFTING GEARS AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA MARIETTA (750 COBB PKWY S, MARIETTA, GA 30060, (470) 938-8436) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A COMPUTER UPDATE NEEDED TO BE PERFORMED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CONTACT WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR COST BECAUSE THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS LISTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V384000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE IS A VERY STRONG WAVE EFFECT ON THE FRONT AND REAR WINDSHIELD THAT COVERS THE LENGTH OF THE GLASS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM AND A SERIES OF WAVES OF VARIABLE WIDTH THAT COVER THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD. IT SEEMS AS IF THE THICKNESS OF THE GLASS VARIES. THE OBJECTS CHANGE SHAPE WHILE DRIVING. IT BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE TO OBSERVE THE APPROACHING TRAFFIC AND DISTANCES. WHEN YOU TRY TO TURN IT IS VERY DIFFICULT. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONCENTRATE ON THE ROAD DUE TO THE DISTORTION PRESENT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE EFFECT IS SIMILAR TO LOOKING THROUGH GLASSES THAT HAVE THE WRONG RECIPE, OR WEARING TOO STRONG READING GLASSES. I AM WORRIED ABOUT HAVING AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS SITUATION. DRIVING THE CAR CAUSES MIGRAINES AND HEADACHES.

THE MANUFACTURER'S SUPPLIED CAR TIRE JACK DOES NOT SAFELY ENGAGE ITS CENTER NOTCH TO THE ( "PINCH WELDED" METAL SHEETS EDGE ) DESIGNATED JACK POINT POSITIONS ( FOR THE FOUR WHEEL LOCATIONS) AS INDICATED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. ONLY " ONE SIDE", THE INNER HALF OF THE JACK, MAKES CONTACT WITH THE VEHICLE, THUS MAKING LIFTING THE CAR VERY UNSTABLE AND UNSAFE. IN OTHER WORDS, THE NOTCH OF THE SUPPLIED TIRE JACK DOES NOT EVEN MAKE CONTACT WITH THE JACK POINT. I AM AFRAID THIS COULD CAUSE THE CAR TO FALL OFF THE JACK WHILE IT IS BEING LIFTED TO CHANGE A FLAT TIRE WITH THE SPARE TIRE. ( I HAVE TRIED TO LIFT MY CAR WITH THE JACK AT ALL FOUR CORNERS, AND THE SUPPLIED JACK'S CENTER NOTCH DID NOT EVEN CONTACT THE JACK POINT, BUT INSTEAD LEFT INDENTATIONS OF THE INNER HALF OF THE JACK'S "SADDLE" ON MY CAR'S UNDERBODY. IN ADDITION, I HAVE READ COMPLAINTS (ONLINE) OF 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA OWNERS WHOSE CAR ACTUALLY FELL OF THE JACK WHEN IT WAS BEING USED TO LIFT/SUPPORT THE VEHICLE. I ASSUME THIS IS A POTENTIAL DANGER TO SUBSEQUENT OWNERS OF LATER COROLLA MODEL YEARS OF THE SAME DESIGN PLATFORM (2009 TO 2013) IF TOYOTA HAS NOT ALREADY SUPPLIED NEW VEHICLES WITH AN APPROPRIATELY-DESIGNED TIRE JACK OR OTHERWISE MADE IT SAFER TO LIFT THE CAR WITH THE JACK. NOTE THAT I LIFTED MY VEHICLE ON A FLAT, HARD CONCRETE GARAGE FLOOR. IN ADDITION, I BELIEVE I'VE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA SEVERAL YEARS AGO; I CALLED THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER, AND THEY DOCUMENTED MY CONCERNS. TOYOTA HAS NOT RESPONDED TO ME SINCE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

WHEN YOU PUSH THE SPORTS BUTTON THAT GIVES IT SPEED YOU DRIVE ABOUT 5 MILES AND THE CAR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL FLADH. THEN THE CAR WILL NOT DRIVE OVER 30MPH. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO FRED HESS DEALER TWICE AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. BUT IT WILL STILL DO IT. SO I STOPPED USING IT. I ONLY HAVE 20K MILES ON THE CAR. SO IT'S DANGEROUS IF YOUR ON THE FREEWAY.

AIR BAGS
MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY DURING AN ACCIDENT WHERE A CONSTRUCTION TRUCK HIT MY CAR CAUSING ME TO HIT A TREE AND ROLL. MY FATHER DIED AS A RESULT OF THIS ACCIDENT. NOW THAT A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAGS NOT DEPLOYING IN THIS TYPE CAR I WONDER IF THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED. TOYOTA DID NOT INSPECT VEHICLE. LAWYERS ENGINEER SAID BECAUSE OF OCCUPANTS BOUNCING AROUND ' CAR COULDN'T TELL WHERE EVERYONE WAS AND THEREFORE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT WAS NOT COMMANDED. CONSUMER STATED "DON'T BELIEVE TOYOTA WAS EVER NOTIFIED OF INCIDENT. COSUMER STATED AIR BAG DEPLOYED WHEN THE FIREMAN CUT THE ROOF OFF THE CAR TO GET TO HER PARENTS, WHO WERE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR.

POWER TRAIN
MY DAUGHTERS 2016 TOYOTA COROLLA WAS TAKEN IN TO HAVE THE CVT CHECKED AND IT FAILED. RICK MCGILL'S TOYOTA SAID IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE THAT IT COULD LOCK UP AT 35 MPH AND THEY MADE HER LEAVE THE CAR. THEY REBUILT THE CVT AND IT FAILED AGAIN SO THEY REBUILT IT A 2ND TIME. THEY HAD THE CAR FOR 29 DAYS AND SAID ITS GOOD NOW BUT WE HAVE EXPERIENCED A VIBRATION IMMEDIATELY AND WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT UP A HILL THE RFPM'S KEPT FLUTUATING BACK AND FORTH. I RETURNED IT AND THEY SAID IT WAS FINE. I DON'T TRUST THIS CAR NOR TRANSMISSION BUT MY DAUGHTER IS DRIVING IT TO COLLEGE? WHY DIDN'T THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION?
