LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE AUTOMATIC LOCKS AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THEM UNTIL RECENTLY WHEN MY FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUT IN THE UNLOCKED POSITION. ALL OTHER DOORS WORK NORMALLY. I TRIED USING MY KEY TO UNLOCK IT AND THAT ALSO FAILED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH A BROKEN CABLE WHICH THEY REPAIRED. IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *JB

STEERING
UNSTABLE STEERING, WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING OVER 60 MILES AN HOUR IT HAS A TENDANCY TO WANDER OVER THE WHOLE ROAD. IF THERE IS A CROSS WIND IT REALLY IS BAD. THE WIFE WILL NOT DRIVE IT. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER CUSTOMERS THEY HAVE A SIMILAR COMPLAINT. SEEMS TO GET WORSE WITH AGE OF CAR. WHEN I TAKE THE CAR IN TO GET IT SERVICED I MENTION THE STEERING AND THEY SAY THERE IS NO PROBLEM. THEY DO NOT WRITE IT DOWN ON THE SERVICE REQUEST EITHER. I GUESS THEY DO NOT WANT A RECORD. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME TO DAY THE OTHER TIME IT QUIT IN THE MIDDLE. I AM REENTERING. *TR

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY
WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED ON, IT HAS A FOUL ORDER, PARTICULARLY IN SUMMER, WHEN THE WINDOWS HAVE BEEN ROLLED UP. IT SEEMS TO BE COMING FROM THE VENTILATION SYSTEM. WE DO NOT USE THE RECIRCULATION BUTTON, AS THE FRESH AIR SEEMS LIKE A BETTER IDEA SINCE THE VENTILATION SYSTEM ALREADY SMELLS FOUL. THE SMELL UPSETS MY STOMACH. WE HAVE TRIED REPLACING THE CABIN FILTER, AND THAT DID NOT HELP. WE HAVE ALSO USED PRODUCTS LIKE FEBREEZE ALL OVER THE CAR, BUT THAT IS ONLY A TEMPORARY HELP. *JS

AIR BAGS, EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY
I WAS GOING TO TURN INTO A PARKING SPOT IN THE WORK PARKING GARAGE. AS I MOVED MY FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDAL TO THE BRAKE, MY FOOT KNOCKED THE FLOOR MAT CAUSING IT TO JAM UNDER THE GAS PEDAL. THIS CAUSED THE CAR TO ACCELERATE INTO A CONCRETE POLE DESPITE BOTH OF MY FEET BEING ON THE BRAKE. I HAD THE RECALL FIX DONE TO MY CAR TO INSERT THE PLASTIC PIECES TO HOLD THE MAT IN PLACE PROPERLY AND WAS ASSURED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THIS WOULD NEVER BE A PROBLEM; HOWEVER, THEY WERE SMALL PIECES OF PLASTIC AND THE MAT WAS COMPLETELY UNATTACHED FROM BOTH OF THEM. THE CAR CONTINUED TO ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE AFTER IT WAS STUCK ON THE BARRIER UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE FLOOR MAT OUT FROM UNDER THE ACCELERATOR. THE PIECES WERE ONLY INSERTED INTO THE CARPET AND NOT THE FLOOR BOARDS, AND THE RESPONDING OFFICER SAID THEY PULLED OUT REALLY EASILY. HE WAS ALSO CONCERNED THAT THE AIRBAG IN THE CAR DIDN'T DEPLOY IN THIS SITUATION DUE TO THE ACCELERATION AND AMOUNT OF FRONT END DAMAGE TO THE CAR AND SUGGESTED SOMETHING MIGHT ALSO BE WRONG WITH IT. *JS

STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING (EPS) TURNS OFF EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE. AS A RESULT, STEERING GET VERY HEAVY AND REQUIRES A LOT OF FORCE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAD TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON TO RESET THE EPS MOTOR. *JS

STEERING
I JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED A CERTIFIED USED 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA WITH ONLY 25,000 MILES ON IT. I'VE NOTICED THAT STEERING THIS VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, CAN BE A CHALLENGE. THE CAR SEEMS TO HAVE A MIND OF ITS OWN SOMETIMES BECAUSE OUT OF NOWHERE THE CAR WILL ABRUPTLY VEER TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT. I'VE ALREADY TAKEN THIS VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY CHECKED THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT, ROTATED THE TIRES, AND ADJUSTED THE TIRE AIR PRESSURE. THEY NOTIFIED ME THAT EVERYTHING WAS UP TO SPECIFICATION. ON APRIL 16, 2012 A BOX BLEW OUT OF THE BACK OF A TRUCK ON A HIGHWAY AND WHEN I SWERVED TO AVOID IT I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN I GOT HOME I GOT ONLINE AND FOUND A TON OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR 2009-2010 COROLLA. APPARENTLY IT HAS TO DO WITH THE NEW ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING THEY INITIATED IN 2009. PERHAPS THEY SHOULD GO BACK TO THE OLD HYDRAULIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM. PLEASE HELP!! *JS

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:ABS WARNING LIGHT
2009 TOYOTA COROLLA - JAPANESE BUILT ABS/BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS AT APPROXIMATELY 31,000 MILES. 1. DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER INDICATES TROUBLE CODES C0210 (SPEED SENSOR FAILURE) AND C1238 (PLUG TO RIGHT REAR WHEEL ASSEMBLY). PLUG TO ABS SENSOR AND TERMINAL REPAIR KIT WORK AT 32, 126 MILES. 2. 2ND DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER READING INDICATES "INACTIVITY WITH LEFT REAR ABS SENSOR". ABS/BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS AGAIN . IN ADDITION, LIGHTS ARE NOW ACCOMPANIED BY FREQUENT LOUD NOISES IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, SIGNIFICANT VIBRATION THOUGH THE BRAKE PEDAL, MOMENTARY PARTIAL BRAKE FAILURE. 3. RETURN FOR 3RD INSPECTION OF BOTH LEFT/RIGHT REAR WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLIES. MECHANICS AGAIN REINSPECT, CLEAN AND APPLY ELECTRIC GREASE TO BOTH REAR ABS SENSORS AND ROAD TEST THE VEHICLE. SAME ISSUES REAPPEAR AFTER ONLY FEW MILES OF 3RD REPAIR. MECHANICS NOW DETERMINE THERE IS TOO MUCH CORROSION IN THE RIGHT REAR ABS SPEED SENSOR CONNECTION IN THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY FOR THE ABS SPEED SENSOR PLUG TO CONNECT SECURELY AND THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL ASSEMBLY MUST BE REPLACED. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE PART AT $372-$443 RETAIL PLUS LABOR FOR EITHER JAPANESE/NORTH AMERICAN BUILT COROLLAS. THE ACCOMPANYING LOUD NOISE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO BE THE SEPARATE BUT ASSOCIATED ABS MODULE WITHIN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE DEFECTIVE ABS SPEED SENSOR/REAR WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY IN THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL CAUSES INCORRECT READINGS BY THE ABS MODULE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, INCORRECTLY ASSUMING THERE IS WHEEL SLIPPAGE AT CERTAIN WHEELS AND "CAUSING THE ABS MODULE TO GO HAYWIRE" IN ATTEMPTS TO CORRECT WHAT IT THINKS IS WHEEL SLIPPAGE. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON DEFECT SINCE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED; SEE "CONSUMER COMPLAINTS/ODI CASE NUMBERS 10381428 (2/10/11) AND 10320698 (3/18/10). *JS

STEERING
WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN YESTERDAY,MY STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHIFTING SO HARD THAT MADE ME LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR, CAUSING ME TO SPIN AND HIT ANOTHER CAR ALSO TURNING LEFT.I WAS DRIVING WITH CAUTION, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY RAINING,BUT THE WORST PART IS THAT IT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME.I REPORTED ANOTHER ACCIDENT IN 2010 CAUSED BY THE SAME FAILED COMPONENT.I WAS DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT LANE WHILE RAINING AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN MY STEERING WHEEL LOST CONTROL AND MY CAR SPAN 2 TIMES,MAKING ME END ON A DITCH. THANKS GOD THE ROAD WAS CLEAR, SO MY CAR DIDN'T HIT ANY OTHER CAR;HOWEVER, THIS HAS BEEN THE MOST TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE!; IT LEFT ME WITH A TRAUMA THAT WAS WITH ME FOR OVER A YEAR. IT MADE ME TERRIFIED OF DRIVING THIS CAR, ESPECIALLY UNDER RAINING CONDITIONS. AFTER THAT I BOUGHT NEW TIRES,THEN TOOK IT TO TOYOTA TO GET CHECKED.THEY SAID THE STEERING WAS IN FACT SHIFTING, AND THAT THE COMPUTER THAT CONTROLS IT WASN'T WORKING CORRECTLY, SO THEY REPLACED IT.I FELT MORE SECURE AFTERWARDS,SO I DROVE MY CAR NORMALLY, STILL FEELING THE SHIFT UNDER WINDY CONDITIONS,BLAMING IT ON THE WIND FOR NOT FEELING TERRIFIED ANYMORE..UNTIL YESTERDAY!THIS TIME CAUSING ME TO CRASH ONTO ANOTHER CAR!NOW I'M SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE MY CAR, AND HAVE TO LOSE TIME, STRESS AND AGGRAVATION ON SOMETHING THAT SHOULD'VE BEEN A RECALL YEARS AGO! IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT AFTER HAVING THE POWER TO FORCE ANY COMPANY WHO'S NOT FOLLOWING SECURITY REGULATIONS,THE NHTSA IS STILL NOT CENSURING TOYOTA WHO CLAIMS SO STRONGLY "SECURITY FIRST".HOW MANY WRECKS, INJURIES AND DEATHS NEED TO OCCUR FOR NHTSA TO REALIZE THIS AS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT AFFECTS THE DRIVER IN SUCH AN ABRUPT MANNER! SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE NOW! GOD FORBIDS, THIS HAPPENS AGAIN AND I'LL MAKE SURE ALL ORGANIZATIONS/CORPORATIONS INVOLVED GET SUED FOR NOT TAKING DRASTIC MEASURES. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE HAD THIS COROLLA FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS, AVERAGE ABOUT 700 MILES PER WEEK - DRIVE IT DAILY. I HAVE HAD NO SIGNIFICANT ISSUES WITH IT UNTIL THE PAST MONTH OR SO IN WHICH I HAVE EXPERIENCED TWO "SUDDEN ACCELERATION" EVENTS. IN BOTH CASES I WAS TRAVELING AT A VERY LOW SPEED, ABOUT 10 MPH OR SO IN PARKING LOTS. WHILE COASTING / BRAKING WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, SUDDENLY IT WAS AS IF THE BRAKE PEDAL TURNED INTO AN ACCELERATOR PEDAL! I FELT ALL OF THE BACK-PRESSURE THE BRAKE PEDAL NORMALLY HAS LEAVE AND IT WENT ALMOST COMPLETELY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. AT THE VERY SAME INSTANT THE ENGINE REVVED AND BEGAN TO ACCELERATE AND THE CAR "LEAPED" FORWARD. IN BOTH CASES THIS LASTED ONLY A FEW SECONDS THEN THINGS WENT BACK TO NORMAL. THERE WERE NO INDICATOR LIGHTS ON THE PANEL WARNING OF ANYTHING WRONG. IN BOTH CASES MY FOOT WAS CLEARLY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND NOWHERE NEAR THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. I VISUALLY INSPECTED THE FLOOR MAT AND THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO INTERFERENCE BETWEEN IT AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THIS CAR HAS ALREADY HAD ALL OF TOYOTA'S "RECALL" REMEDIES APPLIED TO IT AND COULD BE EASILY ASCERTAINED BY EXAMINING THE MAINTENANCE RECORDS AT BUTLER TOYOTA OF MACON, GEORGIA. I WOULD LIKE IT IF SOMEONE COULD EXAMINE THE CAR'S COMPUTER (NOT THE TOYOTA PEOPLE FOR OBVIOUS REASONS)TO SEE IF THESE EVENTS WERE RECORDED OR NOT. UNTIL NOW I HAVE LIKED THIS CAR VERY MUCH IN EVERY WAY. HOWEVER, CONSIDERING ALL OF THE RECENT REPORTS AND NOW MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCES TWICE I AM VERY MUCH CONCERNED ABOUT THE CAR'S SAFETY. *TR

STEERING
WHEN CAR IS DRIVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, 70-75 MPH, STEERING PULLS LEFT AND RIGHT RAPIDLY, CAUSING CAR TO BECOME VERY UNSTABLE IN HANDLING. SEEMS TO DRIFT IN ITS LANE. WHEN DRIVING IT IS VERY UNPREDICTABLE. I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED AND BECAME AWARE OF IT. NO ACCIDENT ISSUES ONLY 40,000 MILES CONTACTED TOYOTA DEALER IN GREEN BAY, AND THEY SAID THEY NEVER HEARD OF ANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE 2009 COROLLA ELECTRIC ASSISTED POWER STEERING. FURTHER STATED I SHOULD 'TRY AND FIND SOMETHING ON THE INTERNET' TO SHOW IF THERE ARE ANY ISSUES.. COMPLETE STONEWALLING.. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2009 TOYOTA COROLLA. CONSUMER STATES ISSUES WITH SCREECHING NOISE *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE NOISE WOULD OCCUR, WHEN SHE STARTED THE VEHICLE, FOLLOWED BY THE BATTERY LIGHT ILLUMINATING. THE BATTERY LIGHT WOULD EVENTUALLY GO OFF AND THEN THE VEHICLE WOULD MAKE THE SCREECHING NOISE AGAIN. THE PROBLEM STARTED INTERMITTENTLY IN OCTOBER AND ONE DAY IT COMPLETELY DRAINED THE BATTERY. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED AND THE ISSUE CONTINUED, BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. WHEN THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, THEY INFORMED HER THE PROBLEM WAS THE DRIVE BELT, WHICH WAS REPLACED. THE NOISE CONTINUED AND A HOT BURNING SMELL APPEARED AFTER THE SCREECHING NOISE. THE CONSUMER WENT TO GET A SECOND OPINION AND WAS INFORMED THE PROBLEM WAS THE CLUTCH PULLEY IN WHICH A RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED, BUT NOT FOR HER MODEL. THE CONSUMER THEN WENT BACK TO THE DEALER WITH THE NEW INFORMATION AND WAS TOLD SHE NEEDED A NEW ALTERNATOR. THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE IDLING IN A STRANGE MANNER. THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY VIBRATED AND IDLED VERY LOW WHEN STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. *JB

EVERY SINCE BUYING THIS CAR SOMETHING HAS FELT WRONG WITH THE STEERING. IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER TIME. IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE SKATING ON ICE AS YOU DRIVE DOWN THE HIGHWAY EVEN ON DRY PAVEMENT WITH NO WIND. THE STEERING WANDERS CONSTANTLY CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO CORRECT IT. YOU CAN'T DRIVE IT WITH ONE HAND AT ALL. I'VE HAD 3 SETS OF TIRES AND TWO ALIGNMENTS TO TRY AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE MECHANICS SAY THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG. *TR
