I PURCHASED A TOYOTA COROLLA IN 2010 AND IT APPARENTLY HAD A POTENTIAL CAM GEAR ISSUE. THEY HAD PUT OUT A TSB ALERT ON THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER THEY NEVER DISCLOSED TO ME THAT THIS ISSUE COULD ACCUR. I'VE TAKEN IT IN TO THEIR DEALERSHIP AND THE COST OF REPAIR IS $1150. IF THEY WOULD HAVE TOLD ME AT THE TIME OF THE PURCHASE THAT THE CAM GEAR COULD HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE I WOULDN'T HAVE PURCHASED IT. THEY FAILED TO DISCLOSE TO ME ANY POTENTIAL ISSUES AT THE TIME OF SALE. THIS PRACTICE IS FRAUDULENT AND HIGHLY UNETHICAL. I WOULD LIKE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED WITH ME AND IT BE CORRECTED FOR FUTURE PURSCHASES OF OTHERS.

SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN I SLOWED AT A STOP LIGHT WHICH WAS GREEN PREPARING TO TURN RIGHT. THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND I STOOD ON THE BRAKE AS I TURNED THE CORNER. THE CAR SOUNDED LIKE ALL THE BOLTS AND MOTOR WERE FALLING OUT BEFORE IT RIGHTED ITSELF. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

ON THE DAY FOLLOWING THE INCIDENT, I REPORTED IT TO TOYOTA COOPERATION AND AM CURRENTLY WAITING FOR THEIR RESPONSE. *TR

THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY TURNED OFF WHILE I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN. I WAS ABLE TO START THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY IN NEUTRAL. THIS HAS OCCURRED 4 MORE TIMES IN SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES. HOWEVER, LAST NIGHT, WHILE TURNING THE CAR WHEEL TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT RAPIDLY TO AVOID AN OBJECT ON THE STREET, THE CAR LOST POWER. ALL THE WARNING AND CONTROL LIGHTS IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WERE TURNED ON FOR 3 TO 4 SECONDS BUT THE CAR STARTED ON ITS OWN.

2010 TOYOTA COROLLA THE TRANSMISSION WILL SURGE WHEN TRYING TO PASS ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN DRIVING AND TRYING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE THERE IS A MINOR DELAY WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS CAUSING A JOLT AND FAST ACCELERATION. ALSO AT LOW SPEEDS COMING UP TO A LIGHT AND THEN IT TURNS GREEN BUT NOT FULLY STOPPED MAYBE 15 MILES AN HOUR THE TRANSMISSION WILL ALSO SURGE. THIS SEEMS LIKE AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND TOYOTA WANTS TO DO NOTHING ABOUT IT THIS IS RIDICULOUS A CAR WITH 62,000 MILES HAS THIS PROBLEM THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED ASAP. *TR

several weeks After I took my vehicle into the local dealership for the PWMS assembly window panel control switch problem, I realized my door panel and the switch area was loose. I mentioned this after a couple weeks when I really noticed the Window Master Switch mechanism was dropping downward under the panel cover. The dealership did not take me seriously, so it continued to get worse. I should have taken the car back and insisted they fix it. As of today, I cannot use my Key for power entry, i must manually use the key in the door. The power on the windows still works, but the whole master switch assembly is precariously hanging there in the door and the panel that went on top was damaged when they replaced it so now its broken off in pieces and cannot even be used. I am SO unhappy with this dealership, for the many times I have taken my car in for service. I do not want to go back to them at all after the horribly shoddy job they did with the Master Switch and their lack of concern when I told them they put my door back together poorly. Is the work guaranteed, particularly when it's been this long since I took my car in for this recall fix? I take care of my car which at its age only has 38,000 miles on it. I do not want to take it to the same dealership and unfortunately there's not another one close by. Can you help me by demanding a dealership fix my problem before I actually have a fire due to the unprofessional manner in which the dealership handled my recall fix? I wish I had ignored the recall because my car was better off before I took it in.

THERE WAS NO WRECK, MY HORN DOES NOT WORK DASH LIGHTS STAY ON LIGHTER ACTS LIKE THERE'S A SHORT AND THE ELECTRICAL IN CONSOLE DOESN'T WORK. *TR

CHECK ENGINE AND VSC LIGHTS BLINKING. HANGS UP IN THIRD GEAR. HAD CODE PULLED. SHIFT SOLENOID CLOSED. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. DEALERSHIPS JUST GIVE YOU THE RUNAROUND. PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY THE FAILING ECU. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS AND NO RECALL. THIS IS NOT ONLY A HEADACHE TO DRIVE BUT ALSO UNSAFE. *TR

THE CAR WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE. IT WAS RUNNING IN PARK WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON. MY WIFE PUT HER FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND RELEASED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. AT THE SAME TIME SHE RELEASED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE THE ENGINE REVVED UP DRAMATICALLY. THE RPM'S INCREASED AS IF SHE HAD THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. IT KEPT THAT UP UNTIL SHE SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. *TR

MY SON RECEIVED HIS CAR TODAY THAT WAS SHIPPED TO HIM FROM MAUI TO PORTSMOUTH,VA. AS HE WAS DRIVING BACK TO BASE HIS PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR FELL OFF. THE INSIDE WAS MELTED. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE MIRROR. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD. I CONTACTED TOYOTA VIA EMAIL ABOUT THE INCIDENT. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW AND HAS ONLY HAD ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. THERE IS EITHER A FAULTY CONNECTION OR FAULTY PART THAT CAUSED THIS. I NOW WORRY THAT THE CAR MAY CATCH FIRE. *TR

I WAS STARTING TO BACK OUT OF A DIAGONAL PARKING SPACE AND SUDDENLY THE CAR RAPIDLY ACCELERATED AND BACKED ACROSS TWO LANES OF DOWNTOWN BUSINESS TRAFFIC COLLIDING WITH A VEHICLE PARKED DIAGONALLY ACROSS THE STREET. WHEN MY VEHICLE STARTED ACCELERATING I STOMPED ON MY BRAKE BUT THE CAR DID NOT STOP UNTIL IT HIT THE OTHER VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THIS IS AN INCIDENT OF "UNINTENDED LOW-SPEED SURGING" AS REPORTED ON THE INTERNET AND UNDER NHTSA ACTION NUMBER DP14003. *JS

SINCE A RECALL CORRECTION FOR THE SMART STOP TECHNOLOGY, THE CAR WILL ACT LIKE IT WANTS TO DIE WHEN STOPPED AND WILL HESITATE BEFORE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. IT ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO QUIT RUNNING IF IDLING TO WARM UP AND GAS MILEAGE IS WORSE THAN BEFORE. *TR

WHILE EXITING INTERSTATE RAMP TO THE RIGHT, STEERING WOULD NOT TURN BACK STRAIGHT AND CONTINUED TURNING TO THE RIGHT, BRAKED HARD AND CAR STOPPED ON RIGHT SHOULDER OF RAMP TURNED CAR OFF AND RESTARTED STEERING WENT BACK TO WORKING. SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. HAVE TAKEN CAR TO SEVERAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS AND THEY DO A QUICK CHECK AND SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. THIS WEEK I HAVE LEFT CAR AT FLORENCE TOYOTA AND TOLD THEM TO KEEP IT ALL WEEK TO TRY AND FIND PROBLEM. HAVE SEEN ONLINE THAT THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. MY DAUGHTER SAYS IT HAPPENS MORE OFTEN NOW IF ACCELERATING WHILE TRYING TO TURN AND MORE OFTEN IN WET DRIVING CONDITIONS. THIS CAR HAS ELECTRICALLY ASSISTED STEERING SYSTEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO ERRONEOUSLY VEER INTO THE LEFT LANE.

THE DIGITAL DISPLAY RADIO SELDOM WORKS, THE ANTI SKID CONTROL DOES NOT ACTIVATE, THE LIGHTS, BOTH INSIDE AND OUT BLINK ON AND OFF, INCLUDING HEADLIGHTS AT NIGHT. THE AC AND HEATING UNIT CUTS ON AND OFF. IT SEEMS AS IF THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN THE CAR IS IN NEED OF REPAIR. *TR

WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS TAKING A LEFT HAND TURN INTO SUPERMARKET ENTRANCE, HER STEERING LOCKED UP ON HER. SHE HAS BEEN DRIVING THIS CAR SINCE MIDDLE OF JUNE 2014 WHEN CAR WAS PURCHASED FOR HER. I HAVE OWNED TOYOTAS IN THE PAST, AND HAVE KNOWN THEM TO BE RELIABLE VEHICLES. THIS INCIDENCE HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THIS TIME, AND TOYOTA APPARENTLY KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM. THEY EVEN RECOGNIZE IT AS BEING SOME FORM OF ELECTRONIC POWERING STEERING ISSUE, WHOSE COST IS UPWARDS OF 1400.00 TO REPAIR. I AM COMPLETELY DUMBFOUNDED BY THIS (CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE), THAT IS SUPPOSE TO COST ME, THE CONSUMER ANOTHER 1400.00 TO REPAIR. I HAVE READ OF THIS ISSUE IN PREVIOUS LOGS, NEWS REPORTS, AND COMPLAINTS. WHY HAS TOYOTA OR NHTSA NOT FORCED THIS ISSUE. I BELIEVE NOW THAT THIS IS UNSAFE FOR MY DAUGHTER TO DRIVE, AND DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE. IF SAFETY IS NOT A CONCERN HERE, I AM NOT SURE WHAT MERITS THAT DISTINCTION. SIGNED, A VERY UPSET PARENT AND ONCE LOYAL TOYOTA CUSTOMER. *TR

I TOOK MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S IN FOR SERVICE ON 9/26/14 AT VICTORY TOYOTA OF CANTON, MI 48188 FOR A REGULAR SERVICE. ALL SERVICE HAS BEEN COMPLETED AT VICTORY TOYOTA OF CANTON, MI 48188 SINCE I PURCHASE THE BRAND NEW VEHICLE FROM THEM. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE INFORMED ME THAT MY CAR HAD A TIMING COVER LEAK THAT WAS TO COST ME APPROXIMATELY $1,300.00 TO FIX AND THAT IF I CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT THE LEAK WOULD GET WORSE. I AM OUT OF MY TWO YEAR WARRANTY TIME PERIOD. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT MY CAR WAS THE 6TH THEY'D SEEN IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND ONE OF THEM WAS EVEN AS LOW AS $18,000 MILES. HE STATED THAT AT SOME POINT THERE WOULD PROBABLY BE A RECALL. I CALLED TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS AND OPENED CASE NUMBER [XXX] AND WAIT TO HEAR WHAT THEIR SOLUTION IS. I ADVISED THAT ANYTHING LESS THAN FULL REPAIR BY TOYOTA AT NO CHARGE TO ME WOULD BE UNACCEPTABLE. SUCH AN ISSUE SHOULD NOT POTENTIALLY HAPPEN IN A VEHICLE UNTIL 100,000 TO 110, 000 MILES. THE FACT THAT THE SERVICE REP SAID THAT MY CAR WAS THE 6TH THEY'D SEEN IN THE LAT TWO WEEKS IS A SERIOUS RED FLAG.

THE WAFTED UP THROUGH THE WINDOWS AND THE WINDOW CONTROLLED BUTTON. I HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF BECAUSE IT WAS GETTING OUT OF CONTROL. I TURNED THE CAR OFF. WAITED.

WHEN MAKING A RIGHT TURN OUT OF A PARKING LOT MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. I TURNED OFF THE CAR FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON EVERYTHING WAS FINE. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT NO INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK THE CAR OVER TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. AT THIS POINT THE STEERING WAS FINE. THE DEALERSHIP CHARGED ME 99 DOLLARS AND DID A DIAGNOSTIC, WHICH TURNED UP NOTHING. ASSUMING THAT THE CAR WAS OK, AND THIS STEERING WHEEL LOCK WAS JUST A ONE TIME THING I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE CAR AS NORMAL. A FEW DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY STILL COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THIS STEERING LOCK KEEPS HAPPENING TO ME. THE WHEEL LOCKS, I TURN OFF THE CAR, I TURN IT BACK ON AND EVERYTHING IS FINE. MY BIGGEST FEAR IS THAT THE WHEEL WILL LOCK IN A PLACE WHERE I DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON TO GET THE WHEEL UNLOCKED. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE I FOUND THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I CONTACTED A INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO SAID THE PROBLEM IS MOST LIKELY IN THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING MOTOR. THE PART ALONE IS ABOUT 1400 DOLLARS. I KNOW THERE ARE SERVICE BULLETINS OUT TO DEALERS ABOUT THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS COVERED. I DON'T THINK ITS FAIR THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR A REPAIR THAT IS TOYOTA'S FAULT. THERE ARE MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH TOYOTA'S AND FOR THAT MATTER ALMOST ALL CAR COMPANIES ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM. WHY ARE THESE SYSTEM STILL ALLOWED TO BE USED. THE ONLY ONE TO SUFFER IN THE CONSUMER. ANYWAY, MY CAR IS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA LE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IS THERE IS A RECALL OR A SERVICE BULLETIN TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR

UPON PURCHASING THIS CAR FROM CARMAX ON 02/2012 THERE HAD BEEN CONSTANT TRANSMISSION ISSUES THAT WERE NOT BEING RESOLVED FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I HAD GONE IN AND TRIED HAVING MY TRANSMISSION LOOKED AT THREE TIMES A THE CARMAX DEALERSHIP ALL OF WHICH TOLD ME THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR. ON 07/26/2014 MY 2010 TOYOTA'S TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NOW NEEDS A NEW ONE. THIS OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE IS RIDICULOUS FOR A CAR THAT WAS BUILT IN 2010 AND FOR MYSELF OWNING IT FOR TWO YEARS. BOTH THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND CARMAX DEALERSHIP ARE NOT WILLING HELP ASSIST THE PROBLEM. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A TOYOTA CAR AGAIN. UPDATED 4/24/2015 *JS
