ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THIS IS TO REPORT AN ACCIDENT I WAS INVOLVED IN ON THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 IN THE MORNING AROUND 4:30AM, IN BALTIMORE, MARYLAND, ON INTERSTATE I-95 NORTHBOUND, CLOSE TO EXIT 80, WITH MY 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA. MY CAR WAS RECALLED BACK IN LATE AUGUST 2010 AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AS SOON AS I RECEIVED THE NOTIFICATION. AFTER INSPECTING THE ENGINE, THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT A COMPUTER IN THE ENGINE WAS DEFECTIVE. HOWEVER, THEY COULD NOT REPLACE THE MISSING PART AT THE TIME BUT INDICATED THAT I WILL RECEIVE NOTICE IN THE MAIL FOR WHEN I COULD BRING THE CAR BACK. THAT THURSDAY MORNING IT WAS RAINING AND I WAS DRIVING AROUND 50 MILES/HOUR WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE SPEED NEEDLE WENT COMPLETELY TO THE END OF THE SPEEDOMETER AND CAME BACK. IT DID THIS TWICE BEFORE SUDDENLY ACCELERATING AND SENDING THE CAR OFF THE ROAD. MY CAR HIT A TREE FROM THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE BEFORE STOPPING. THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND I INCURRED SEVERAL BODILY INJURIES AROUND THE NECK, CHEST, RIGHT SHOULDER, RIGHT HIP AND BACK. I WAS TAKEN TO THE ER RIGHT AFTER THE ACCIDENT AND BACK AGAIN YESTERDAY MONDAY OCTOBER 4, 2010 BECAUSE I COULD NOT MOVE. MY CAR IS STILL IN A TOWING LOT BUT MY INSURANCE WILL MOVE IT TO A COLLISION CENTER IN THE COMING DAYS. I BELIEVE IT MIGHT BE IMPORTANT TO INVESTIGATE THIS CRASH BUT I AM NOT SURE WHO TO CONNECT WITH DIRECTLY AND HOPE YOU CAN ADVISE. MY DIRECT LINE IS [XXX]. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
PRIOR TO JANUARY 1, 2010 STARTED HEARING SQUEALING NOISE COMING FROM ENGINE. AT REGULAR MAINTENANCE INTERVALS BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF SERVICE DEPARTMENTS AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS NOT UNUSUAL DUE TO MOISTURE BUILD UP ON BELTS. ACCEPTED EXPLANATION AT TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS. NOISE CONTINUED TO GET WORSE SO TOOK IN AGAIN ON JANUARY 17, 2010 - MILEAGE @ 50,496. TENSIONER ASSY. WAS REPLACED (NOT UNDER WARRANTY) @ A COST OF $368.18. A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER THE SAME NOISE RETURNED. CONTINUED TO BRING TO THE ATTENTION OF SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT REGULAR MAINTENANCE INTERVAL 3/27/10-MILEAGE @53,192 AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE NOISE I WAS HEARING. NOISE CONTINUED AND GOT WORSE - TOOK BACK TO DEALERSHIP ON 8/16/10-MILEAGE @58,411, AGAIN THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE NOISE? NOISE CONTINUED EVERY DAY - ALL THE TIME. TOOK BACK TO DEALERSHIP ON 11/26/10 - MILEAGE @61,521. THEY REPLACED TENSIONER ASSEMBLY @ NO COST AND WAS TOLD MY TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER WAS LEAKING OIL AND THE BELT TENSIONER WAS LEAKING TOO? WHAT THE [XXX]? SERVICE MANAGER SUGGESTED I CALL 1-800-331-4331 TO FILE A COMPLAIN, I DID SO ON 11/29. CASE #[XXX]. I WAS TOLD THE TENSIONER ASSEMBLY (3 YEAR/36,000MILES) WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AT THE INITIAL REPAIR AND THE TIMING CHAIN REPAIR IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY EITHER (5 YEAR/60,000 MILE) WHICH WILL COST ME $173.00. MY POINT HERE IS THAT TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION ALL THE RECALLS FOR TOYOTA VEHICLES -- TOYOTA CAN'T POSSIBLY HOLD THE CONSUMER TO THE WARRANTIES THEY HAVE IN PLACE. IT IS APPARENT TO ME THAT THE PARTS ARE DEFECTIVE AND I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING FOR THESE REPAIRS. AS OF TODAY, I AM STILL HEARING THE SAME NOISE WHEN I CRANK MY CAR FROM THE TENSIONER ASSEMBLY JUST REPLACED ON 11/26. TOYOTA SHOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR ALL THE DEFECTIVE PARTS/LABOR/AND MY PERSONAL TIME/MILEAGE TO GET THIS REPAIR DONE AND THE REPAIR TO THE TIMING CHAIN SHOULD BE AT NO COST TO ME. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS TOO. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
IN AUGUST 2010, I LEARNED ABOUT COROLLA RECALL. THEREFORE I CALLED ELK GROVE TOYOTA(916-405-8000) TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT BUT WAS INFORMED TO WAIT UNTIL I RECEIVE A NOTICE FROM TOYOTA MOTORS USA. BECAUSE I DID NOT RECEIVE A LETTER FROM TOYOTA, I HAVE EMAILED THEM ON OCTOBER 19, 2010 REQUESTING THE RECALL LETTER. TOYOTA MOTORS REPLIED STATING MY COROLLA ENGINE CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED ON MARCH 13, 2008. I DO REMEMBER TOWING MY CAR TO ELK GROVE TOYOTA ON MARCH 13, 2008 BECAUSE THE ENGINE WILL NOT START. I WAS TOLD THE ENGINE NEEDED NEW PARTS AND BECAUSE OF WARRANTY THERE WILL BE NO COST TO ME. MY CONCERN IS: 1. ACCORDING TO THE RECALL ANNOUNCEMENT MADE BY THE MEDIA STATED THAT THIS DEFECT COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS MATTER BECAUSE THE VEHICLE COULD STOP WHILE DRIVING. I WAS LUCKY BECAUSE I WAS IN A PARKING LOT. 2. WHY DID TOYOTA TAKE SO LONG TO ANNOUNCE THIS ENGINE PROBLEM.?IF MY ENGINE PROBLEM WAS SIMILAR TO THIS RECALL, WHY DID THEY TAKE 2 YEARS AND 5 MONTHS TO ANNOUNCE THE RECALL? I KNOW TOYOTA HAS BEEN PENALIZED FOR THEIR SLOW DECISION TO RECALL THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM. BUT IT SEEMS THAT THEY CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEM MAKING RECALL DECISION TO ENSURE PUBLIC SAFETY. TOYOTA HAS BECOME TOO BIG TOO FAST AS STATED IN THE MEDIA. I HOPE THEY WILL SERIOUSLY CONSIDER CONSUMER SAFETY RATHER THAN THEIR PROFIT BY BECOMING THE LARGEST AUTO MANUFACTURE IN THE WORLD.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
2006 TOYOTA COROLLA MAKES A PULSATING SCREECHING NOISE WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED OVER A BUMP, UNEVEN SURFACE, PUDDLE OF WATER OR PATCH OF ICE EVEN IF ONLY ONE TO TWO TIRES ARE ON SAID SURFACE. EVEN WHEN CAR WAS NEW, BRAKES WOULD SCREECH OCCASIONALLY AS IF PADS NEEDED REPLACING. I WAS TOLD BY DEALER THAT IT IS NORMAL FOR THAT CAR. BASED ON THAT INFORMATION, I DID NOT HAVE BRAKES CHECKED AGAIN FOR QUITE SOME TIME WHEN THEY WERE MAKING A SCRUBBING SOUND. BY THEN ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. TWO MONTHS LATER, SCREECHING STARTED AGAIN ACCOMPANIED BY SCRUBBING NOISE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
APRIL 2010 - TACHOMETER STARTED 'JUMPING' AROUND. CEL WOULD ILLUMINATE ON AND OFF AND THE CAR WOULD OCCASIONALLY ACT LIKE IT WANTED TO STALL AND ACTED SLUGGISH. JUNE 2010 - BROUGHT TO LOCAL SHOP THAT SAID IT MIGHT BE A COMPUTER ISSUE AND TO TAKE TO TOYOTA. TOOK TO TOYOTA, TOYOTA SAID THAT IT WAS JUST A BAD TACHOMETER AND THAT I COULD CHOOSE TO REPLACE IT. I DID NOT. CEL LIGHT CONTINUED TO GO ON AND OFF. VEHICLE WOULD SOMETIMES SHIFT VERY HARD OR SEEM TO HAVE TROUBLE. SEPTEMBER 2010 - THE VEHICLE ALMOST STALLED AT 45MPH WHEN IT SEEMED LIKE IT WAS TRYING TO SWITCH GEARS (AUTO TRANSMISSION). WHEN GOING HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE RPMS WOULD NOT GET OVER 1800 WHEN NORMALLY IT RUNS AROUND 2300 (AT 65MPH) WHEN I WOULD STEP ON BRAKE, RPMS WOULD DROP TO AROUND 1000 AND THEN TO THE POINT OF STALLING. SOMETIMES I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE LEFT FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE RIGHT FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR TO NOT HAVE IT STALL IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. SOMETIMES AT A LIGHT, I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND CONTINUE TO REV THE ENGINE. SOME DAYS THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO BE RUNNING FINE, OTHER TIMES IT IS VERY STRESSFUL TO DRIVE WHEN IT IS HAVING ISSUES. OCTOBER 2010 - RECEIVED RECALL LETTER FROM TOYOTA REGARDING THE ECM (ENGINE CONTROL MODULE) AND THAT PARTS WILL START TO BE COME AVAILABLE THE END OF NOVEMBER. CALLED TOYOTA CORPORATE AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT CURRENTLY HAVE A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE IT IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2006 TOYOTO COROLLA ,ENGINE EG053-06. I HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH IT BEING A SLOW CRANK OR NO START CONDITION, AS LISTED ON THE TSB UPDATE HOMEPAGE. I WAS NOT AWARE OF THIS, AND PURCHASED A NEW BATTHERY, TESTED THE STARTER,IT WAS FINE, ALTERNATOR WAS FINE. TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO SAW THE PROBLEM AND PULLED UP THE TSB WEBSITE AND IT IS ON THERE OWN SITE. THE TITLE OF THE NOTICE IS 1ZZ-FE ENGINE "NO START" OR EXTENDED CRANK" CONDITION. IT AFFECTS COROLLAS AND MATRIXES. SURPRISE HERE. ANYWAY, IT STATES THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY MANUFACTURING PROCESS HAS BEEN IMPROVED TO CORRECT THIS CONDITION. THE WARRANTY RAN OUT AT 60,000 MILES. I HAVE 66,000. I THINK CONSUMERS SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE OF THIS SINCE THEY KNOW IT WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM OR IT WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN ON THEIR SITE. NOW THEY WANT 1200.00 TO FIX THIS. OBVIOUSLY THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY WAS DEFECTIVE TO START WITH OR THEY WOULD NOT HAVE TO CORRECTED IT.IT IS ALSO IRONIC THAT THE OTHER INVESTIGATON YOU ARE DOING IS ON THE SAME YEARS AND MODELS, COROLLA AND MATRIX. HAVE YOU HAD OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE? *TR
