STRUCTURE:BODY
1)FRONT BUMPER IS BEEN REPLACED 2 ON MY CAR AS THE STRIP OF A REMOLDED TIRE OF A TRUCKTHAT GETS PEALED OFF DUE TO HEAT WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD HIT MY CAR TWICE AND THE FRONT BUMPER GETS DAMAGED OR BROKEN IMMEDIATELY. IT COST ME 600$ TO FIX IT 2) IT HAPPENED TO ME TWICE. 3)I THINK THAT THE REMOLDING OF TIRES IS TO BE BAND OR PROPER PROCESS SO AS IT DOES NOT SEPERATE.YES AND NOW THE TIRES ARE MADE BIGGER AND BROADER ONLY ONE INSTEAD OF TWO IN TRAILERS WHICH IS BAD. 3)IT THE BUMPER GETS DAMAGED JUST BY A HIT DOES MEAN THAT THE BUMPER IS WEAK TO SAVE US FROM A REAL CRASH. IT IS TOYOTA,COROLLA 2010. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS DRIVING A RENTAL 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA IN SIESTA KEY, FL. I CAME TO A STOP ON A BUSY DOWNTOWN STREET ON A FRIDAY NIGHT. AS I SAT AT A COMPLETE STOP WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AS PEDESTRIANS WERE CROSSING, THE CAR UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED FORWARD. I DID NOT HAVE MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL & AS THIS HAPPENED, I HELD MY FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE TO AVOID HITTING THE PEDESTRIANS. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO HOLD THE CAR BACK UNTIL THE ACCELERATION ENDED. THIS HAPPENED BEFORE THE PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA ACCELERATION WAS MADE PUBLIC. I REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO THE ENTERPRISE CAR RENTAL AGENCY IN PORT CHARLOTTE FL, WHERE I RENTED IT, BUT THEY DID NOT SEEM CONCERNED. IT WASN'T UNTIL A WEEK LATER THAT THIS STORY WAS IN THE NEWS. I CALLED THE NHTSB TO FILE A COMPLAINT, I'M FILING THIS COMPLAINT AGAIN AFTER HEARING THE GOV'T RESPONSE TO THE STUDY OF THIS PROBLEM. FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, I KNOW FOR A FACT THIS IS NOT CORRECT. THIS CAR I DROVE DID NOT HAVE THE PEDAL STICK OR FLOOR MAT PROBLEM. IT DEFINITELY ACCELERATED COMPLETELY ON IT'S OWN WITHOUT THE PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED. IF NEEDED , I MAY BE ABLE TO LOCATE THE VIN FROM MY RENTAL RECEIPT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA CONTINUES TO HAVE ACCELERATION ISSUES. NOW IT ACCELERATES WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON TO SPEEDS OVER 100/110 MPH. I HAD TO DRIVE MY CAR FROM VERMONT TO CALIFORNIA, AND USED MY CRUISE CONTROL FOR THE FIRST TIME. THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 75 TO 80 MPH IN AREAS AND I SET THE CRUISE CONTROL TO 72. THE NEXT THING I NEW, THE CAR SUDDENLY LURCHED FORWARD ON ITS OWN & WENT COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL. IT WENT TO SPEEDS OF 100- 120 MPH WITHIN 1-2 MINUTES AND I COULD HARDLY CONTROL THE CAR. I HAVE BEEN IN 3-4 ACCELERATION INCIDENTS WITH THIS VEHICLE ALREADY AND BEEN INJURED (THE REPORTS I HAVE ALREADY FILED WITH YOUR AGENCY THIS PAST YEAR). THIS VEHICLE IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE. THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL OR ENGINE PROBLEM WITH THESE TOYOTAS, NO MATTER WHAT THE NHTSA, THE FEDS, OR TOYOTA STATES. IT IS NOT THE WAY AMERICANS ARE DRIVING ! DON'T INSULT OUR INTELLIGENCE. HOW MANY MORE INNOCENT VICTIMS HAVE TO GET HURT. ALL WE ARE ASKING IS FOR TOYOTA TO TAKE THESE CARS BACK AND REPLACE THEM WITH A SAFE CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT IS WHAT IS FAIR TO THE CONSUMER. THAT IS WHAT THE LEMON LAW IS FOR. YET WHY DOES NO ONE LISTEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *TR

STEERING
PURCHASED 2010 WITH 35K MILES. TEST DROVE CAR BUT DID NOT NOTICE STEERING ISSUE UNTIL I DROVE IT A LOT. THE STEERING CONTROL FORCE CHANGES WITH SPEED. STEERING WILL NOT STAY STRAIGHT AND PULLS TO LEFT DEPENDING ON SPEED THE PULL MAY BE WORSE TO THE LEFT. TOOK TO DEALER TWICE AND NTB FOR ALIGNMENT BUT IS ACCORDING TO REPAIR SHOPS THE ALIGNMENT IS IN SPECS AND THE TIRES ARE GOOD. IF IT TURNED TO THE RIGHT I WOULD BE BAD BUT BETTER BECAUSE NOW IT TURNS TOWARDS ONCOMING CARS RIGHT NOW AND POSES A DANGER TO MYSELF AND FAMILY. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC
OUR JAPANESE BUILT 2010 COROLLA HAS A DEAD SPOT AT THE TOP OF THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL. AT ALL SPEEDS, WHEN FIRST DEPRESSING THE PEDAL, VERY LITTLE IF ANY BRAKING ACTION OCCURS WITH THE VEHICLE. ONLY AFTER SIGNIFICANT PRESSURE HAS BEEN APPLIED TO THE PEDAL WILL THE VEHICLE SLOW. THIS IS ACTUALLY MORE DANGEROUS DURING LOW SPEED DRIVING. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES FOR THIS. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL ADJUSTMENTS MADE, AND THE BRAKE SYSTEM HAS BEEN FLUSHED WITH NEW FLUID. IT IS STILL AN ISSUE. THEY HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE JAPANESE BUILT CARS. I HAVE TEST DRIVEN 2 CANADIAN BUILT 2010 COROLLAS, AND THE BRAKING FUNCTION IS MUCH BETTER. THE BRAKING COMPONENTS ARE NOT TRANSFERABLE BETWEEN THE 2 CARS. I MAINTAIN THAT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW OF THE JAPANESE BUILT COROLLAS. *TR

STEERING
EXTREMELY LIGHT STEERING AT SPEEDS OVER 50 MILES PER HOUR. VIRTUALLY NO ROAD FEEL. SENSATION IS SIMILAR TO "DRIVING" A VIDEO GAME. ALL CONTROL NEEDS TO BE THROUGH VISION AS THERE IS VIRTUALLY NO FEELING OF RESISTANCE IN THE STEERING WHEEL MAKING THE CAR VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL ON CURVES OR WHEN BUFFETED BY WINDS PRODUCED BY LARGE TRUCKS PASSING BY. VERY TIRING TO DRIVE. FEELS ESPECIALLY UNSAFE AT NIGHT AS IN THE DARK THERE IS LESS VISUAL INPUT REGARDING THE UPCOMING ROAD AND WITH SUCH MINIMAL ROAD FEEL THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL DRIVING FEELS UNSAFE. THIS IS A NEW CAR WITH LESS THAN 2,000 MILES. REPLACEMENT OF THE STEERING COMPUTER BY THE DEALER DID NOT SUFFICIENTLY CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *LN

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I HAVE A 2010 COROLLA WITH BRAKE ISSUES. WHENEVER I GO OVER A POTHOLE OR OTHER BUMP AT LOW SPEEDS (UNDER 25MPH), THE CAR MAKES A GRINDING 'METAL ON METAL' NOISE. IT FEELS KIND OF LIKE TINGLING UNDER YOUR FOOT... SIMILAR TO A PULSE. THE CAR 'JUMPS FORWARD' A SMALL BIT BEFORE IT SLOWS DOWN TO A STOP. I FIND THE 'JUMPING' ISSUE VERY UNSETTLING. IT IS LIKE THE CAR ACCELERATES SLIGHTLY EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE USING THE BRAKES AND TRYING TO SLOW. THE MAJOR ISSUE IS THAT THE CAR DOES NOT STOP--THE BRAKE PEDAL FEELS DISENGAGED WHILE IT GRINDS AND PULSES. I HAVE HAD MY CAR SERVICED AND THEY TELL ME IT IS THE ABS AND THERE IS NO PROBLEM. BUT OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A PROBLEM AND OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE AS WELL. I HAVE DRIVEN THE 2005 COROLLA MODEL, AS WELL AS OTHER CARS WITH ABS BRAKES, AND NEVER ENCOUNTERED BRAKE ISSUES LIKE THIS. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN MY 2010 COROLLA AND HONESTLY, MAY TRY TO TRADE IT IN EVEN THOUGH I'VE ONLY HAD IT A YEAR AND WOULD BE LOSING A LOT OF MONEY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA WITH 1,900 MILES ON IT, I PURCHASED THE VEH IN THE MIDDLE OF NOVEMBER. AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE I BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT MY RIGHT ARM WOULD COLLECT STATIC ELECTRICITY WHEN I WOULD PLACE IT ON TOP OF THE CENTER ARM REST/CONSOLE. AT FIRST I WOULD ONLY GET THE STATIC SPARK WHEN I TOUCHED THE METAL FRAME OF MY DOOR, THEN WHEN I ENTERED THE VEHICLE I WOULD ONCE AGAIN COLLECT THE STATIC ELECTRICITY ON MY RIGHT ARM FROM THE CENTER ARM REST/CONSOLE. I BEGAN TO JUST NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THE STATIC BUILD UP I WOULD GET UNTIL YESTERDAY DECEMBER 29, 2010. I EXCITED MY VEHICLE AND PROCEEDED TO OPEN MY GAS COMPARTMENT DOOR, AS I TOUCHED THE COMPARTMENT DOOR, I RECEIVED THE STATIC SPARK. NOW I AM BECOMING CONCERN BECAUSE IT HAPPEN WHEN I TOUCHED THE COMPARTMENT DOOR HAD IT HAPPENED A FEW SECONDS LATER I COULD HAVE BEEN PUMPING GAS. I DROVE TO THE TOYOTA DEALER NEAR MY HOME AND WAS ASKED TO SIT IN ANOTHER 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA AND I ALSO BUILD UP STATIC ELECTRICITY, THEN THEY HAD ME SIT IN A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY AND NOTHING HAPPENED. CLEARLY THE TYPE OF MATERIAL USED ON THE CENTER ARM REST/CONSOLE IS CAUSING THIS STATIC BUILD UP ON MY ARM. THE MATERIAL USED IN THE CAMRY IS NOT CAUSING THIS. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW OF ANY STATIC COMPLAINTS. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SOMEONE INVESTIGATE THIS, IT ISN'T SAFE TO GO PUMP GAS WHILE HAVING STATIC ELECTRICITY. I CAN SHOW ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT HOW THE HAIRS ON MY ARM STAND UP ONCE I TOUCH THE CENTER ARM REST/CONSOLE. *TR

STEERING
1. 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S WAS PURCHASED FROM A TOYOTA DEALER WITH 8 MILES. RIGHT AFTER GOING OFF THE LOT, AND ONTO THE FREEWAY, CAR WAS UNSTABLE. EVEN IF YOU HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL STRAIGHT, THE CAR WANTS TO JUMP LEFT AND RIGHT RANDOMLY. BASICALLY IT IS UNSTABLE. 2. CAR IS UNSTABLE AND REQUIRES MORE THAN NORMAL CONCENTRATION AND MORE EFFORT TO DRIVE STRAIGHT, AS CAR DOES NOT TRACK STRAIGHT. 3. VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO DEALER WITH APPROXIMATELY 185 MILES. TEST DROVE WITH TECHNICIAN, WHO SAID IT VEERS SLIGHTLY RIGHT. ALIGNMENT WAS DONE. THE FRONT WAS OFF BY A BIT AND CORRECTED. BUT REAR OF CAR WAS OUT OF SPEC WITH REGARDS TO LEFT AND RIGHT TOE. BASICALLY BOTH REAR WHEELS FACING TOWARDS THE LEFT. TOYOTA DEALER SAID THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. I BRING IN A TOYOTA TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN THAT ADDRESSES ON-CENTER STEERING FEEL. THE DOCUMENT REQUIRES ALIGNMENT DONE, THEN POWER-STEERING ECU REPLACED. MY ECU IS THEN REPLACED AT THE DEALERSHIP, BUT ALIGNMENT IN REAR IS NOT ADJUSTED, SINCE THE DEALER SAID IT IS NOT ADJUSTABLE. THEY GIVE ME BACK THE CAR WITH THE NEW ECU EVEN IF REAR TOE IS OFF ALONG WITH TOTAL REAR CAMBER. THEY ALSO SAY THAT TOTAL REAR TOE IS CORRECT AT .38 DEG, BUT EVEN IF LEFT AND RIGHT REAR TOE IS OFF, AS LONG AS TOTAL REAR TOE IS GOOD, CAR IS WITHIN TOYOTA SPECIFICATIONS AND TOLERANCES. I DO NOT AGREE WITH THE STATEMENT. IF LEFT AND RIGHT TOES ARE OFF, THEN CAR IS NOT ALIGNED. RIGHT REAR TOE IS OUT OF SPEC BY .15 DEGREES WHILE LEFT REAR TOE IS OFF BY -.09 DEGREES. I TAKE THE CAR AND DRIVE IT FOR 1 DAY AND A HALF, AND THE CAR VEERS RIGHT ON THE FREEWAY. IF IT HITS A BUMP ON A TURN, IT USUALLY MAKES THE CAR WANT TO JUMP RIGHT. BASICALLY PROVING THAT THE REAR TOE IS OUT OF SPECIFICATIONS. *TR

2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. CONSUMER STATES SEVERAL CONCERNS REGARDING THIS VEHICLE *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED AT TIMES WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKE LIGHTLY, THEY GRAB ABRUPTLY. AT TIMES, WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, HE HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE AMOUNT ACCELERATION DELIVERED TO THE VEHICLE. THE SPEED WOULD INCREASE MORE THAN DESIRED. AT SPEEDS ABOVE 35 MPH, WHEN IN OVERDRIVE, THE ENGINE SPEED WOULD SUDDENLY DROP. THE DEALER CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM AND TOYOTA'S RESPONSE WAS THE TORQUE CONVERTER LOCKED UP AND CAUSED THE ENGINE SPEED TO CHANGE AND THEY RECOMMENDED THE CONSUMER SHIFT TO THIRD GEAR. *JB
