SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, EQUIPMENT
THE BRAKING ON MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA LE SEEMS TO BE DEFECTIVE. WHEN APPROACHING ANY TYPE OF CHANGE IN THE ROAD SURFACE THAT REQUIRES ME TO PUT MY FOOT LIGHTLY ON THE BRAKE A VIBRATION AND WEIRD FEELING IN THE BRAKE PEDAL TAKE PLACE. IT'S STARTLING WHEN IT HAPPENS. MY WIFE HAS EXPERIENCED IT FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE AND IS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I'VE EXPRESSED MY CONCERN TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAY IT'S NORMAL. VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS CAR . I BOUGHT A TOYOTA FOR IT'S SAFETY AND RELIABILITY SO FAR I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED. *TR

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING IN MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA LE. THE CAR DRIFTS SIDE TO SIDE MAKING IT HARD TO KEEP IT IN A STRAIGHT LINE. I COMPLAINED IMMEDIATELY TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THE STEERING IS ACTING AS DESIGNED. I CONTINUE TO QUESTION IT EVERY TIME I HAVE IT SERVICED. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION:FRONT
2010 COROLLA IS UNSTABLE AT SPEED OVER APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH. THE CAR WANDERS DANGEROUSLY TO LEFT AND RIGHT, BEING PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE TO ANY CROSS WIND OR TURBULENCE FROM OTHER VEHICLES. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO USE ANY VEHICLE CONTROLS (SUCH AS TURNING ON THE DEFROSTER) WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITHOUT HAVING THE CAR VEER SUDDENLY OFF COURSE. THE CAR FEELS AS IF IT IS MISSING A SUSPENSION COMPONENT IN THE FRONT END- THERE IS A DANGEROUS LACK OF STABILITY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I EVEN PURCHASED NEW TIRES AFTER ONLY 2000 MILES IN AN ATTEMPT TO ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM, BUT IT IS THE CAR AND NOT THE TIRES CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, EQUIPMENT
IN MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA XLE WITH 2382 MILES ON IT, I EXPERIENCED BRAKE FAILURE AND DIFFICULTY STEERING WHILE DESCENDING DOWN A SLIGHT GRADE. THERE WAS NO BRAKING ACTION WHEN I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL AS FAR AS IT COULD GO. SIMULTANEOUSLY HEARD A LOUD SCRAPING SOUND AND DETECTED AN ODOR. REPORTED INCIDENT TO THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY. *TR

STEERING
I HAVE A 2010 COROLLA 4 DR LE MODEL, WHICH I BOUGHT IN JULY 2009. I CONTINUE TO NOTICE THAT THE CAR "WANDERS" ON THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING; GENERALLY IT IS REALLY NOTICEABLE ABOUT 50 MPH. WHEN THERE ARE WINDY CONDITIONS (FREQUENT IN KANSAS), I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY CORRECT MY DIRECTION OF TRAVEL SINCE THE WIND EXACERBATES THE WANDERING OF THE VEHICLE. I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS DUE TO THE CROWN OF THE PARTICULAR ROAD, BUT IT DOES IT ON ALL ROADS. MY WIFE HAS DRIVEN THE CAR AND NOTICED THE SAME THING. I HAVE NOT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, BUT IT CONCERNS ME THAT A CAR WOULD NOT DRIVE IN A REASONABLE STRAIGHT LINE. THIS IS THE VERY FIRST CAR I'VE EVER OWNED THAT DID IT; IT IS NOT THE FIRST TOYOTA I'VE EVER OWNED, AND HAVE NEVER EVER HAD SUCH A PROBLEM. I CANNOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE OF INCIDENT, AS IT DOES IT ALL THE TIME, SO I WILL INDICATE THE DELIVERY DATE OF THE VEHICLE TO ME. *TR

STEERING
TOYOTA COROLLA DIFFICULT STEERING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. STEERING "STICKS" IN POSITION WHEN CORRECTING AND REQUIRES CONSTANT RE-CORRECTION. CAR DOES NOT SELF CENTER UPON LEAVING CURVES. WHEN CORRECTING TO THE LEFT, CAR WILL CLIMB OVER CROWN INTO ON-COMING LANE UNLESS RE-CORRECTED. DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE CAR GOING STRAIGHT, REQUIRES CONSTANT ATTENTION AND IS FATIGUING. *TR

POWER TRAIN
INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) THIS IS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION . I FILED A PRIOR INCIDENT REPORT AND HAD ANOTHER OCCURRENCE ON FEB 28 2010. AGAIN MY VEHICLE HAD A SUDDEN ACCELERATION AND LEAPED FORWARD. AGAIN I WAS ABLE TO PLACE IT IN NEUTRAL . THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP ONLY TO BE TOLD, IT WAS THE FLOOR MAT. WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN (AFTER I TOOK OUT THE MAT I WAS TOLD IT MAY HAVE BEEN I HIT THE CRUISE CONTROL(EVEN THOUGH I EXPLAINED I HIT THE BRAKE AND THE VEHICLE MAINTAINED ITS ACCELERATION.) THIS DEALERSHIP EVEN HAS TOLD OTHER CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE CALLED IN THEY HAVE NOT HAD ONE COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS PROBLEM( I WAS STANDING BY THE SERVICE DESK WHEN THIS TOOK PLACE).TOYOTA WILL NOT ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND IN FACT HAS SPENT MORE EFFORT TO MAKE ME FEEL ITS MY FAULT OR I AM MISTAKEN. WHAT IS THE GOVERNMENT GOING TO DO TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM ? IT APPEARS TOYOTA IS IN DENIAL BECAUSE THE FIX WILL COST TO MUCH. HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE WILL DIE OR GET INJURED? I AM REQUESTING AND HOPE OTHERS ARE REQUESTING THAT THE HIGHWAY SAFETY ADMINISTRATION TAKE A STRONGER ACTION . THIS HAS GONE ON TO LONG WITHOUT SOMETHING BEING DONE. PLEASE HELP. [XXX] *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I HAVE BEEN TAKING MY COROLLA TO THE DEALERSHIP ALMOST EVERY WEEK SINCE 01/28/2010 AND EVERY WEEK I COMPLAINED ABOUT HOW THE CAR WAS DRIFTING SIDE TO SIDE AND HOW ON LOW WINDY DAYS I HAVE TO FIGHT THE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP IT IN ITS LANE AT SPEEDS ABOVE 65MPH. AND EVERY TIME I TAKE IT OVER THERE THEY SAY "WELL THE CAR IS WORKING TO FACTORY STANDARDS" AND THEY WILL SEND ME ON MY WAY. I HAVE HAD MY BRAKES BLED AND MY CAR ALIGNMENT DONE TWICE AND THE CAR ONLY HAS 2000+ MILES ON IT. SO I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FROM WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND THEY GAVE ME THIS CUST STATES VEHICLE IS ALL OVER THE ROAD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS LIKE THE COMPUTER IS DRIVING THE CAR ON ITS OWN ~|~PERFORMED HEALTH CHECK ON ALL SYSTEMS. NO TROUBLE CODES STORED. TEST DROVE VEHICLE ON 10 MILE TRIP AND ~|~VEHICLE PERFORMED AS DESIGNED AT THIS TIME. PLEASE DIRECT CUSTOMER TO TOYOTA AT 1-800-331-4331 IF THEY HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. SO I TOOK THE CAR BACK AND CALLED THE # TO THEM AND THEY SAID SINCE THE TECH COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM THEN THERE IS NO PROBLEM. BULL. SO ON 03/01/2010 I TOOK MY CAR BACK IN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE SOMEONE GO ON A DRIVE WITH ME AND I MADE SURE IT WAS A WINDY DAY SO THEY CAN SEE HOW HARD IT IS TO KEEP THE CAR CENTERED IN ITS LANE. THE MECHANIC THAT WENT WITH ME SAID OH I SEE WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT HE EVEN HAD A HARD TIME KEEPING THE CAR FROM WONDERING OFF. SO HE SAID WELL IT COULD BE THE TIRES ARE NOT TO THE RIGHT POUNDS. I SAID NOPE I HAD THE AIR DONE TO FACTORY STANDARDS OF 35PSI ALL AROUND. SO HE SAID HE WILL NEED THE CAR FOR OVER A DAY AND SCHEDULED APPT FOR ME TO COME IN I TOOK IT BACK ON 03/03/2010 AND HAVEN'T HAD MY CAR BACK SINCE THEN. THEY STILL HAVE MY CAR IN THE SHOP AS I TYPE. SO THERE IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. I FEEL LIKE I CAN HURT OR EVEN KILL SOMEONE IN THE CAR BECAUSE OF IT. I HAVE HAD MORE PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR AND ITS NOT EVEN 60 DAYS OLD YET. PLUS I ALREADY HAD THE RECALL DONE ON IT TOO. *TR

STEERING
ON MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA, AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (65-70 MPH), THE VEHICLE WILL FEEL AS THOUGH THE STEERING IS LOOSE...LIKE I'M GOING OVER A METAL-GRATE BRIDGE, WHERE THE CAR MOVES SIDEWAYS ON IT'S OWN. I DRIVE APPROXIMATELY 100 HIGHWAY MILES A DAY, AND THIS IS A DAILY OCCURRENCE. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO TOYOTA ON 3/4/10, BUT THEY CLAIM THEY DO NOT FEEL THE STEERING PROBLEM. I DON'T FEEL IT WAS SUFFICIENTLY TESTED, AS THEY DID NOT DO ANY HIGHWAY DRIVING. THEY'VE DISMISSED MY FEARS AND WILL NOT BE CORRECTING THE PROBLEM. *TR

STEERING
I PURCHASED THIS BRAND NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA FOR MY DAUGHTER. WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OF 65 MPH OR HIGHER, THE VEHICLE WANDERS. IT CONSTANTLY FEELS LIKE SUDDEN GUSTS OF WIND ARE PUSHING THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE DRIVING LANE. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNNERVING. I AM A CAPTAIN WITH A MAJOR AIRLINE, AND I TOOK THE CAR OUT TO GET A SENSE OF WHAT MY DAUGHTER HAS EXPLAINED TO ME. IN 31 YEARS OF FLYING, I HAVE NEVER FELT MORE INSECURE IN A VEHICLE. I AM AFRAID TO RELAX. I UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR VIGILANCE WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. DRIVING THIS VEHICLE REQUIRES SO MUCH CONCENTRATION THAT WHAT SHOULD BE A SIMPLE 4 HOUR DRIVE FROM MY DAUGHTER'S COLLEGE TO HER HOME IS EXHAUSTING. *TR

STEERING
2010 TOYOTA COROLLA "S" PURCHASED BY MY WIFE IN JULY 2009, WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . SHE DRIVES THE CAR ONLY LOCALLY ON SUBURBAN STREETS, AT SPEEDS LESS THAN 45 MPH, AND HAS PLACED LESS THAN 3000 MILES ON THE CAR IN 7 MONTHS. RECENTLY WE TOOK THE CAR FOR A 'ROAD TRIP' OF ABOUT 175 MILES EACH WAY, WITH ME DRIVING. THIS CAR DOES NOT "STEER" PROPERLY ON THE HIGHWAY, IF "PROPER" MEANS THAT IT FOLLOWS THE DRIVERS INPUT AND CONTROL MOVEMENTS. AT LOW SPEEDS IT SEEMS THAT THE STEERING WHEEL MOVES EASILY LIKE MOST CARS WITH POWER STEERING, AND THE CAR FOLLOWS THE STEERING WHEEL MOVEMENTS FAIRLY WELL. BUT AT SPEEDS OVER 50 MPH THE STEERING WHEEL SEEMS TO "LOCK" INTO A POSITION AND RESISTS BEING MOVED TO EITHER SIDE UNTIL EXCESSIVE FORCE IS APPLIED, SEVERAL POUNDS OF FORCE I WOULD SAY, THEN THE STEERING WHEEL JUMPS TO A NEW POSITION AND THE CAR TAKES OFF TO THAT SIDE, REQUIRING ANOTHER HARD PULL ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO TRY TO GO BACK TOWARD CENTER. I HAD TO FIGHT THIS CAR FOR THREE HOURS EACH WAY ON THE HIGHWAY, AND THE SLIGHTEST INATTENTION WAS LIKELY TO RESULT IN THE CAR HEADING FOR ONE EDGE OR THE OTHER OF THE LANE, SINCE IT SEEMS TO PERIODICALLY JUST "DRIFT" OFF PATH FOR NO APPARENT REASON-- NO CHANGE IN ROAD SLOPE OR GEOMETRY, BUT THE CAR WOULD START MOVING TOWARD ONE SIDE OF THE OTHER. (TIRE PRESSURES WERE CHECKED BEFORE THE TRIP). OUR FAMILY HAS OWNED 6 TOYOTAS BEFORE THIS ONE, AND NONE OF THEM HAS EVER HAD THE LACK OF RESPONSE AND "WANDERING" PROBLEMS OF THIS CAR. WE STILL OWN A 1992 CELICA, WHICH IS A COROLLA IN A SPORTY BODY STYLE, AND IT "TRACKS" BEAUTIFULLY TO THE DRIVERS CONTROL, WITH OVER 200,000 MILES ON IT. I THINK THAT IF A CAR HAD A STEERING SYSTEM WITH APPARENT LOOSENESS IN IT THAT WOULD DUPLICATE THE SIDE DIRECTIONS OF THIS COROLLA, WHILE THE STEERING WHEEL IS NOT BEING MOVED FROM STRAIGHT AHEAD, THAT CAR WOULD NOT PASS ITS ANNUAL SAFETY TEST IN THIS STATE. THIS CAR REQUIRES A CONSTANT STRUGGLE TO KEEP IT IN ITS LANE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
1. REGULAR DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITION, SOMETIMES FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, SOMETIMES FOR A FEW SECONDS. 2. SPEED CONTROL DOES NOT SEEM TO BE CONSISTENT. RPM METER WOULD GO ABOVE NORMAL 2000 REVS PER MINUTE EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS IN NEUTRAL. 3. WAS REPAIRED BY DEALER AS PART OF THE GAS PEDAL RECALL. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. 4. I DO NOT THINK IT HAS TO DO WITH THE GAS PEDAL, IT APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE CONTROL AS THE RPM METER CLEARLY SHOWS THE REVS ARE WAY HIGHER THAN NORMAL. IN FACT, AFTER THE GAS PEDAL RECALL REPAIR, OUR 4 MONTHS CAR NOW BURNS MORE GAS THAN BEFORE. *TR

THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPRODUCED. THERE WERE NO PRIOR WARNINGS. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 92000.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON MONDAY (MARCH 1ST) TOYOTA SERVICE CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THAT ACCORDING TO TOYOTA ENGINEERS' REPORT, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE GAS PEDAL AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT THE CAR. TOYOTA'S OFFICIAL EXPLANATION IS 'OPERATING AS DESIGNED, THE ECM WILL COMMAND HIGH IDLE AT TIMES FOR PROPER EMISSIONS SYSTEM OPERATION' THIS EXPLANATION DOES NOT MAKE SENSE SINCE THERE IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE HERE; I AM DRIVING THE CAR IN THE 5TH GEAR AND AROUND 3000 RPM. WHEN I NEED A SUDDEN STOP, I LET GO THE GAS PEDAL AND HIT THE BREAK. THE ECM COMMANDS HIGH IDLE EVEN I HIT THE BREAKS; THE PISTONS ARE STILL WORKING (THE ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING IN GEAR) WITH 3000 RPM SO I AM NOT ABLE TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR
