SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
DRIVING 2010 TOYOTA LE ON HIGHWAY, TURNED OFF HIGHWAY, TURNED TO OFF RAMP AS POWER STEERING ALLOWED CAR TO VEER TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. AS THE CAR APPROACHED THE STOP SIGN, THE FOOT BRAKE WAS APPLIED, AND FELT SPONGY AND THE CAR SUDDENLY VEERED TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CAME TO A STOP FACING ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP THAT TOLD ME TO BRING THE CAR IN FOR INSPECTION. AN APPOINTMENT WAS MADE FOR TODAY. *TR

I HAVE A BRAND NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA WHICH HAS ONLY 700+ MILES ON IT. TODAY, ON MY WAY TO GET LUNCH, MY BRAKES SLIPPED TWICE WITHIN 5 MINUTES OF EACH OTHER. THE 2010 COROLLA DEFINITELY SHOULD BE PART OF THE BRAKE PROBLEM RECALL. *TR

STEERING
I BROUGHT A NEW TOYOTA COROLLA 2010 IN MID JANUARY, AND HAVE EXPERIENCED A POSSIBLE STEERING PROBLEM FOR A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN THE SPEED WAS MORE THAN 60 MPH. THE LATEST ONE WAS IN THE AFTERNOON OF FEB. 26, WHEN I DROVE ON A HIGHWAY WITH A SPEED OF ABOUT 65 MPH. IT SEEMED THE STEERING WAS VERY SENSITIVE AND DIFFICULT TO CONTROL - A SMALL MOVEMENT IN STEERING COULD EASILY CAUSE THE CAR TO GO TO ANOTHER LANE. THE SITUATION BECAME MORE APPARENT WHEN THE WIND WAS STRONG - I FELT THE CAR WAS NOT STABLE AT ALL. *TR

YESTERDAY WHILE BRUSHING SNOW OFF CAR IT BEGAN TO REV AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAD DEPRESSED ITSELF AND STUCK. I HAD TO MANUALLY PULL UP THE PEDAL. I USE THIS CAR FOR WORK AND DRIVE APPROX. 2500 MILES PER MONTH. I TRANSPORT CLIENTS AND CHILDREN. I BOUGHT A TOYOTA FOR SAFETY AND RESALE VALUE! I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR. I HAVE TRIED TO TRADE IT IN AND DEALERS WILL NOT TAKE IT. IT IS UNSELLABLE AND UNSAFE. I WANT TOYOTA TO TAKE THIS CAR AND GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK. IT IS A BAD PRODUCT! *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I AM CONTACTING YOU REGARDING A COMPLAINT WITH MY 2010 COROLLA. I FIRST CALLED THE NHTSA 800 NUMBER WITH THIS WRITTEN COMPLAINT AND WAS TOLD I WOULD RECEIVE A HARD COPY IN TWO WEEKS (I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE IT). SO ONCE AGAIN I AM PUTTING THIS COMPLAINT IN WRITING, SO I HAVE PROOF THAT IT WAS FILED AND SENT. I HOPE THAT SOMETHING GETS DONE WITH IT ONCE AND FOR ALL. THE COMPLAINT IS REGARDING TOYOTA'S NEW PEDAL RECALL PART. IT DOES NOT CORRECT THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM. MY CAR ACCELERATED OVER 80 MPH ON FEB.12,2010. TOYOTA PUT IN THE RECALL PEDAL THAT MORNING AFTER I BROUGHT THE CAR THERE. ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK ON FEB 12, THE CAR EXHIBITED MORE ACCELERATION ISSUES. THAT WAS WHEN I CALLED TO REPORT IT WITH THE NHTSA. THE CAR THEN ACCELERATED AGAIN ON FEB15 WITH THE NEW"PEDAL RECALL IN". I WAS DRIVING UP A LONG ONRAMP ONTO THE INTERSTATE AT APPROX. 35-40 MPH, AND THE CAR TOOK OFF TO OVER 80 MPH. I WAS INJURED. I CALLED AGAIN TO YOUR AGENCY TO REPORT THIS ON FEB15TH. I GOT THE CAR BACK FROM TOYOTA ON FEB 19TH. THEY SAID "THE CAR WAS FINE. IT IS NORMAL FOR COROLLAS TO ACCELERATE TO 80 MPH". THAT IS TOTAL BULL! THE CAR'S PEDAL STARTED STICKING ON SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 21. THIS CALLED MORE RPM & ACCELERATION PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. ALSO THE BRAKES ARE GOING DOWN TO THE FLOOR. THE CAR HAS GONE THRU A 5 WAY INTERSECTIONS STOP LIGHT AND A STOP SIGN. I HAVE HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I AM FILING THIS REPORT TO HAVE DOCUMENTATION FOR MY RECORDS. IT IS ON MY 2010 COROLLA NOW HAVING COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE ISSUES. IT STARTED ON FEB. 21,2010. THE BRAKES STARTED TO GO COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. ON FEBRUARY 24, THE BRAKES WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR AT A 5 WAY INTERSECTION, AND I WENT THROUGH A STOP LIGHT. I COULD NOT STOP THE CAR. THAT SAME DAY I WENT THROUGH A STOP SIGN AND HAD TO JAM ON MY EMERGENCY BRAKE, SO I DIDN'T GO ONTO A MAJOR TRAVELED ROUTE IN VERMONT. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM I REPORTED TO THE NHTSA ON 12/12/09. THE ODI NUMBER IS 10295431. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT WAS DONE WITH THAT COMPLAINT? DID IT EVER GET FORWARDED TO MR. TOYODO HIMSELF, CONGRESS (FOR THE HEARINGS?). I HAD COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE ISSUES FOR OVER 14 MONTHS WITH MY 2009 COROLLA. WHAT DID YOU DO WITH THAT INFORMATION? THE ONLY RECALL I SAW WAS FOR THE PRIUS? WHAT A JOKE! NOW MY 2010 COROLLA HAS COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE. AGAIN TOYOTA GETS AWAY WITH COVERING UP THEIR MISTAKES, AND YOUR AGENCY DOES NOTHING. THE SAME AS COVERING UP THE NEW PEDAL RECALL NOT CORRECTING THE ISSUE OF ACCELERATION (MY ODI NUMBER FOR THIS IS 10314851). I HAVE ALL MY RECORDS AND AM SHOWING THEM TO THE MEDIA (NATIONAL & LOCAL). I AM STATING BELOW THE INCIDENT DATE FOR MY CURRENT CAR BRAKE FAILURE ISSUES IS FEBRUARY 21ST. I AM HOWEVER STATING INJURIES AND REPORTED TO THE POLICE. I HAD AN ACCELERATION INCIDENT ON JANUARY 18, 2010 WITH MY 2009 COROLLA . DURING THE INCIDENT I HAD COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE AND WAS INJURED. I DID REPORT IT TO THE POLICE. *TR

I LEASED A 2010 COROLLA IN DEC,2010. WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKES THE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. TOOK BACK TO DEALER AND HE SAID HE DROVE ANOTHER COROLLA AND THE BRAKE OPERATED THE SAME WAY, HE SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG SINCE THE VEHICLE STOPPED O.K. IF YOU PUMP THE PEDAL ONCE THE BRAKES ENGAGE THE WAY THEY SHOULD...I THING THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

STEERING
BOUGHT NEW COROLLA 2010 FOR MY WIFE ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO. I THOUGHT RIGHT FROM THE FIRST DRIVE THAT ITS STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY SENSITIVE, THAT IS, EVEN SMALL MOTIONS OF THE STEERING WHEEL APPEAR TO GET AMPLIFIED TO RELATIVELY LARGER DIRECTIONAL CHANGES ON THE MOVING CAR. HOWEVER, MY WIFE DID NOT THINK SO. TYPICALLY, HOWEVER, SHE DRIVES IT AT SLOW SPEEDS, LIKE, AT MOST 40 MPH, AS SHE AVOIDS HIGHWAYS. WE HAVE NEVER DRIVEN IT AT HIGHER SPEEDS LIKE 65-70 MPH WHERE I UNDERSTAND SOME OTHER COROLLAS START MEANDERING. I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM I AM DESCRIBING ABOVE. BUT AFTER HAVING READ ABOUT SIMILAR PROBLEMS TO 2010 COROLLAS, WHICH ARE RECENTLY SO MUCH IN THE NEWS, I THOUGHT WE SHOULD REPORT IT TOO. *TR

STEERING
2010 TOYOTA COROLLA -- STEERING PROBLEM. VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP CAR WITHIN TRAVEL LANE WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THIS IS NOT RELATED TO WIND GUSTS BUT OCCURS AT ALL THE TIMES. FEELS LIKE THERE ARE DEAD SPOTS IN THE WHEEL AND THERE IS LITTLE TO NO ROAD FEEL FEEDBACK. THE CAR DOES NOT TRACK STRAIGHT ON ITS OWN BUT REQUIRES CONSTANT STEERING CORRECTIONS. I AM 69 YEARS OLD AND HAVE OWNED AND DRIVEN MANY CARS/TRUCKS INCLUDING MY 2002 TOYOTA AVALON AND MY DAUGHTER'S 1993 COROLLA AND HAVE NEVER BEFORE EXPERIENCED THE TYPE STEERING ISSUE THAT WE HAVE WITH OUR NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE AND IF A DRIVER IN NOT PAYING 100% ATTENTION AND CONSTANTLY CORRECTING TO KEEP CAR WITHIN THE TRAVEL LANE THE RESULT COULD BE DISASTROUS. TOYOTA NEEDS TO BE REQUIRED TO FIX THIS STEERING ISSUE WITH ITS NEW COROLLA'S. [THIS OCCURS ALL THE TIME - BUT YOUR FORM FORCES ME TO ENTER AN INCIDENT DATE SO I AM JUST USING JAN 1, 1901 TO PROCEED WITH THE FORM. UPDATED 03/19/10.*JB

STEERING
BOUGHT COROLLA NEW JAN 2010. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 2850 MILES. THE CAR WILL NOT GO IN A STRAIGHT LINE WHILE DRIVING OVER 55MPH. THE CAR DRIFTS TO EITHER THE LEFT OR RIGHT WITHOUT TURNING THE WHEEL. CAR FEELS AS IF YOU'RE DRIVING IN HARD WINDS CAUSING LANE SHIFTS WITHOUT TURNING WHEEL. ONE MUST KEEP BOTH HANDS TIGHTLY GRIPPED TO THE STEERING WHEEL AND CONTINUALLY OVER CORRECT THE WHEEL FROM LEFT TO RIGHT OR RIGHT TO LEFT TO KEEP THE CAR TRAVELING IN A STRAIGHT LINE AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS WHILE DRIVING ON OPEN ROADS. TOOK CAR TO DEALER, TECH TEST DROVE CAR WHILE I WAS A RIDING ALONG AND FOUND CAR TO NOT DRIVE NORMAL. AFTER TEST DRIVE TECH TESTED CAR, CAR WAS CHECKED IN SHOP AND FOUND TO HAVE NO PROBLEMS WITHIN THEIR TESTING CAPABILITIES. WANTED TO KEEP CAR FOR FURTHER TESTING BECAUSE HE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX CAR BUT NOTED SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH CAR. 4 DAYS LATER I GOT A CALL FROM SERVICE DEPARTMENT ASSISTANT MANAGER STATING THAT TOYOTA WAS AWARE OF PROBLEM AND THEY HAD NO FIX AVAILABLE FOR MY CARS STEERING. WAS TOLD THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHEN CAR COULD BE FIXED. WHEN I ASK FOR A LOANER CAR UNTIL MY NEW COROLLA WAS REPAIRED I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD HAVE TO CALL ME BACK. I WAS CALLED BACK WITHIN 10 MINUTES AND TOLD NO LOANER CAR WOULD BE GIVEN. AFTER THAT CALL I GOT ANOTHER CALL BACK FROM THE SAME PERSON STATING THAT THEY WERE GOING TO TEST DRIVE MY CAR TOO SEE WHAT SHE THINKS ABOUT THE CAR. WITHIN 5 MINUTES I GET ANOTHER CALL STATING THAT SHE, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ASSISTANT MANAGER, WAS IN MY CAR RIGHT NOW DOING 70MPH AND THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. SUMMED UP: FROM 12:30PM TO 2:30PM, THE SAME DAY, I WAS TOLD CAR HAD A PROBLEM THAT TECH COULD NOT FIX TO THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR CAR.. THE NEXT DAY I GOT ANOTHER CALL FROM THE DEALERS SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATING THAT SOME OTHER TECH HAD DROVE THE CAR AND NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. I WAS TOLD THAT IS HOW THE CAR DRIVES AND I WOULD JUST HAVE TO GET USED TO IT. *TR
