2010 Toyota Corolla Complaint Log

THE PROBLEM IS WITH BRAKING SYSTEM OR BRAKE IN MY TOYOTA COROLLA 2010. I STEP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN I WAS DRIVING AT 25MPH SPEED AT LOCAL STREET, BUT THE BRAKE PEDAL JUST GOT FROZE COULDN'T PUSH FURTHER. THEN I TRIED TO PULL UP THE BRAKE HANDLE BUT THE HANDLE WAS TOTALLY LOOSE, ALL LIGHT ON THE BOARD WENT ON, THEN I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE KEY TO FORCE THE ENGINE STOP BEFORE I ALMOST HIT THE OTHER CAR FRONT OF ME.AFTER 5 MINS I RESTART MY CAR, IT TURNED OUT NORMAL. IT'S VERY TERRIBLE EXPERIENCES. I WAS LUCKY THIS TIME, IT COULD CAUSE TO DEATH ACCIDENT. I SEND THE CAR TO TOYOTA DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR ORIGINALLY. THEY CHECKED THE CAR AND TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG, ALSO CHARGED ME TO PAY FOR THE CHECKING.THIS CAR IS BEYOND THE SAFE TO DRIVE, I DON'T KNOW IT WILL HAPPENED AGAIN. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK WHEN SUDDENLY THICK SMOKE STARTED APPEARING FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE POWER WINDOW SWITCH. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND GOT OUT OF THE CAR. THE SMOKE HAD THE TYPICAL SMELL OF BURNING PLASTIC AND THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW SLOWLY OPENED ON ITS OWN. AFTER 5 MINUTES, THE SMOKE STOPPED AND I CONTINUED TO MY OFFICE AS IT WAS NEARBY. LATER IN THE EVENING, UPON REMOVING THE SWITCH, THE MELTED PLASTIC WAS CLEARLY VISIBLE. ONE OF THE SWITCHES ON THE PANEL DOES NOT DEPRESS ANYMORE DUE THE MELTING OF THE PLASTIC. THE SWITCH THAT DOES NOT DEPRESS IS FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW AND IT HAS BEEN OPEN SINCE FRIDAY JULY 19TH BECAUSE THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN FIXED YET. I AM AWARE OF A RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE HOWEVER, IT IS FOR COROLLA MODELS UP TO 2009 AND SINCE MINE IS A 2010 MODEL, TOYOTA REFUSES TO ADDRESS THIS SITUATION. *TR

AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE AND DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 100 FEET, THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS: ABS, ANTI SKID SYMBOL, BATTERY AND OIL LAMP APPEARED. LOST POWER STEERING, WINDSHIELD WIPERS CEASED, IT WAS RAINING HEAVILY. DROVE APPROXIMATELY 6 MILES TO HOME. THE NEXT MORNING, CAR STARTED WITHOUT ANY ISSUES, DROVE APPROXIMATELY 100 FEET, THE SAME LIGHTS APPEARED AND POWER STEERING AGAIN CEASED. ABLE TO DRIVE APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES TO WORK. MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH DEALERSHIP FOR AFTER WORK. CAR IMMEDIATELY STARTED WITH THE ABOVE MENTIONED LIGHTS APPEARING AGAIN AND WITHOUT POWER STEERING. DROVE APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES, ALL POWER IN CAR STOPPED, AND CAR IMMEDIATELY STOPPED. WAS UNABLE TO RESTART CAR, CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, WHERE THE SERVICE MEMBER STATED THE CAR NEEDED A NEW ALTERNATOR. WHEN ASKED WHY THIS WOULD OCCUR WITH ONLY 25000 MILES, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS UNABLE TO GIVE ME A RESPONSE. THE ALTERNATOR WAS COSTLY. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER, PURCHASED THIS CAR IN JULY, 2009. SERVICE MY CAR REGULARLY AS SUGGESTED IN MANUAL AT A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. I AM DISAPPOINTED WITH NEEDING SUCH A COSTLY REPAIR AS I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS IN THE PAST WITH OTHER MAKES OF CARS. ALL OF WHICH I HAVE OWNED FOR 8 TO 10 YEARS EACH. *TR

I MADE A LEFT HAND TURN AND WAS HIT ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. THE FORCE OF THE HIT SPUN MY CAR IN A FULL CIRCLE, DAMAGED THE ENTIRE FRONT OF THE FRAME, KNOCKED OFF THE FRONT BUMPER, CAUSED THE TRUNK TO OPEN, AND CAUSED SEVERE DAMAGE SPANNING THE WHOLE FRONT END OF THE CAR INCLUDING THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WHICH I WAS UNABLE TO OPEN. DURING THIS ACCIDENT, THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE ESTIMATED COST FOR REPAIR FOR MY COROLLA WAS 13,000 DOLLARS. *TR

THE GAS PEDAL SUCK TO THE FLOOR WHEN ACCELERATING WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON. I PULLED OFF ROAD, PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL AND SHUT MOTOR OFF. GAS PEDAL WAS STILL STUCK TO FLOOR. TRIED PULLING PEDAL UP TO NO AVAIL. TURNED IGNITION TO THE ON POSITION AND PEDAL STILL STUCK. AFTER STOMPING IT SEVERAL TIMES GAS PEDAL UNSTUCK. YOU COULD HERE SOMETHING UNDERNEATH THE HOOD RELEASE IT. DEFINITELY NOT A FLOOR MAT PROBLEM!! *TR

HIGHWAY DRIVING IS LIKE THE WIND IS BLOWING HARD AND BLOWING THE CAR ALL OVER THE PLACE. THE CAR WANDERS AROUND THE ROAD AND MAKES STEERING VERY DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS. *TR

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 70MPH. MY EXIT WAS COMING UP ON THE RIGHT SIDE SO I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN. HOWEVER THE BRAKE STUCK AND THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T SLOW DOWN, IT KEPT GOING. I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL ON, AND USUALLY IF I BRAKE WITHOUT FIRST TURNING IT OFF IT SLOWS DOWN, BUT THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN. SO I TURNED THE CRUISE CONTROL OFF BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. MY CAR KEPT GOING. I PUSHED DOWN ON THE BRAKE, BUT THAT MADE THE CAR ACCELERATE EVEN MORE. I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THE PEDAL WASN'T STUCK, IT WASN'T, BUT I KNEW THAT WASN'T THE PROBLEM BECAUSE MY CAR WAS ACCELERATING WHEN I WAS HITTING THE BRAKE. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONE IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE I WAS GOING OVER 110MPH. I SPED AT THIS SPEED FOR QUITE A WAYS MAYBE 3/4 OF A MILE. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE AND HAD MY PHONE IN MY HAD TO CALL 911. I KEPT PUSHING ON THE BRAKE SINCE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO (THIS OF COURSE MADE ME GO FASTER AND FASTER). THE BRAKE WOULDN'T GO DOWN THOUGH. I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS HAPPENING. IT WAS LIKE STUCK? FINALLY I HEARD MY ACCELERATE POP. AND THE CAR STARTED TO DECELERATE. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASE A 2010 COROLLA. THE CAR DOES NOT HANDLE WELL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WHEN DRIVING THE CAR VEERS TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT WITH A NEED TO CORRECT THE POSITION OF THE CAR. GOING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND HAVING YOUR CAR SWAY FROM SIDE TO SIDE IS SCARY AND IT MAKES YOU FEEL THAT YOU CAN CRASH AT ANY MOMENT IF YOU DON'T CORRECT THE STEERING WHEEL FAST ENOUGH. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT APPROX. 65 MPH AND DUE TO AN OFF-CENTER FEELING AND A LAX STEERING WHEEL, LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. UNDER NO FAULT OF MY OWN I SUBSEQUENTLY CRASHED INTO A GUARD RAIL, SPUN ACROSS LANES OF TRAFFIC, AND DID NOT HAVE ANY AIRBAGS DEPLOY DESPITE LOSING MY FRONT BUMPER, FRONT BUMPER SUPPORT BEAM, RADIATOR, FANS, HEADLIGHT, HAD MY DOOR PINNED IN, HOOD CRUSHED, AND MISSING MY PASSENGER HEADLIGHT.

THE DRIVER-SIDE AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY IN A SIDE-IMPACT COLLISION. THE ESTIMATED SPEED OF IMPACT WAS BETWEEN 40 & 45 MPH, DIRECTLY STRIKING BETWEEN THE DRIVER DOOR AND THE FRONT DRIVER-SIDE WHEEL. TOYOTA CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER WAS CONTACTED, AND REPLIED THAT THE SYSTEM PERFORMED AS DESIGNED. WHILE NOT AN EXPERT IN AIRBAG DESIGN AND OPERATION, I CANNOT IMAGINE A MORE CLEAR-CUT SITUATION WHERE THE AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED TO PROTECT THE OCCUPANTS.

BRAKES MAKE A RAPID THUMPING SOUND AND ARE INEFFECTIVE WHEN APPLIED AT THE TIME THE CAR IS DRIVING OVER BUMPS, HOLES, OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE ROAD SURFACE. THE ROAD SURFACE HAS TO BE COMPLETELY SMOOTH FOR THE BRAKES TO WORK PROPERLY. THIS IS CAUSE FOR A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAS DEVELOPED STEERING ISSUES AT ABOUT 39000 MILES. I AM FINDING THAT THE STEERING IS OVERSENSITIVE. YOU MUST CONSTANTLY CORRECT THE STEERING AT ALL SPEEDS, IT TAKES A LOT OF CONCENTRATION TO DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD AND STAY IN YOUR LANE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS MAY ALSO GET THE ATTENTION OF LAW ENFORCEMENT ASSUMING THAT ONE IS DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE. I HAVE OWNED THREE COROLLAS AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE. TIRES ARE WEARING NORMALLY HOWEVER. *

WE PURCHASED A USED CERTIFIED 2010 COROLLA ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND SOON DISCOVERED THAT IT TOOK CONSTANT ADJUSTMENTS IN STEERING TO KEEP THE CAR TRACKING STRAIGHT ON THE EXPRESSWAY. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND MANY SERIOUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS CAR'S STEERING AS WELL AS A "FIX" OFFERED BY TOYOTA TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING COMPUTER ASSEMBLY (T-SB-0140-10). WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND HAD THE NEW ONE PUT IN. THE DAY AFTER IT WAS DONE, WE DROVE APPROXIMATELY 230 MILES ROUND TRIP, ALMOST ALL OF IT ON THE FREEWAY. WE WERE PLEASED TO FIND THAT THE STEERING WAS GOOD AND THE CAR TRACKED STRAIGHT. TWO DAYS LATER, WE DID THE SAME TRIP AND IMMEDIATELY KNEW SOMETHING WAS TOTALLY DIFFERENT. THE STEERING WAS SUDDENLY FAR WORSE THAN BEFORE THE FIX. IT FELT LIKE WE WERE HYDROPLANING, DRIFTING, AND FLOATING SIDE TO SIDE, AND I HAD TO CONCENTRATE FULLY ON KEEPING THE CAR IN MY LANE. IT FELT MUCH LIKE DRIVING ON A WET, SLIPPERY SURFACE. I DROVE AWHILE BEFORE EXITING THE FREEWAY SO MY WIFE COULD TAKE IT FOR A "TEST DRIVE". SHE SAID IT WAS DOWNRIGHT SCARY. THEN MY COLLEGE-AGE SON GAVE IT A WHIRL. HE AGREED ABOUT THE SCARY PART, SAYING IT WAS COMPLETELY WRONG. HE FINALLY PULLED INTO A REST STOP AND WE TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ABOUT EIGHTY MILES SINCE WE HAD BEEN SWITCHING "TEST" DRIVERS WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. WHEN WE RESUMED DRIVING FROM THE REST AREA, THE STEERING WAS FINE. IT WAS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN TEN MINUTES BEFORE. THAT WAS THE END OF OUR TWO-HANDED, WHITE KNUCKLE DRIVING SESSION. WE CONTINUED TO OUR DESTINATION AND THEN BACK HOME WITH NORMAL STEERING. WE'VE OWNED TOYOTAS SINCE 1978. THIS IS OUR FIFTH COROLLA. WE HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS IN OUR LIVES, IN ANY CAR. IN OUR CASE, THIS CAME OUT OF THE BLUE, RIGHT AFTER WE THOUGHT THINGS WERE GOOD. THERE'S SOMETHING GOING ON WITH THE COROLLA STEERING THAT DEMANDS A REAL FIX. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 35 MPH ON A ROAD THAT HAS A SPEED LIMIT OF 45 MPH. I WENT TO STOP FOR A LINE OF TRAFFIC WHEN I PUSHED MY BRAKE PEDAL THE BRAKE WENT TO THE FLOOR. IT DIDN'T EVEN SLOW ME DOWN. I HIT THE SUV IN FRONT OF ME THEN MY CAR (WITH MY FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE) ACCELERATED FORWARD AND HIT THE SUV AGAIN AND AGAIN BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. I HAVE HAD MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP 3 PRIOR OCCASIONS TO GET THE SAME CONDITION FIXED. I BOUGHT MY CAR FROM SAID DEALERSHIP, BRAND NEW, A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO. *JS

CAR HAS BEEN FEELING STRANGE AT 60MPH - PULLS TO LEFT SOMETIMES AND IF THE WIND BLOWS IT FEELS LIKE ITS GOING TO LOOSE TRACTION. TODAY THIS HAPPENED WITH SOME RAIN ON THE ROAD CARE LOST TRACTION PULLED LEFT HIT A TRANSFER TRUCK - SPUN AROUND IN THE ROAD INTO A HILL AND ROLLED. CAR IS TOTALED AND MY WIFE WAS LUCKY NOT TO HAVE BEEN KILLED. THE BACK OF THE CAR IS GONE! IF THIS HAPPENS IN THE WIND PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GET KILLED IN THE RAIN. THIS NEEDS FIXED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE DRIVER ATTEMPTED TO DECELERATE AS THE ENGINE RPMS INCREASED RAPIDLY. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVER HAD TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND ENGAGE THE EMERGENCY BRAKES SINCE THE BRAKE PEDAL FAILED TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

THIS VEHICLE USES A DRIVE BY WIRE (DWB) ACCELERATOR. WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE GAS THE CAR LURCHES FORWARD. THIS HAPPENED ON A RENTAL CAR IN 2010 AND STILL IS A PROBLEM ON THE USED TOYOTA I PURCHASED. WHEN I CONTACTED TOYOTA THEY STATED THERE WAS NO RECALL INFORMATION. THEY ASKED ME TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGONIZED AT MY EXPENSE, WHICH I REFUSED TO DO. THIS IS A PROBLEM AND BASED ON INFORMATION ON THE NET OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE OWNED MANY CARS AND NOT ONE HAS HAD SUCH A TOUCHY PEDAL. *TR

VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT FLASHING, ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, VEHICLE IS REVVING TOO FAST, ACCELERATOR HAS NO RESPONSE. TOYOTA DEALER INFORMED ME ABOUT THE THROTTLE IS DEFECTED & THEY HAVE NO FIX FOR IT. THEY MAY HAVE TO CONTACT TOYOTA CORPORATE FOR FIX. I HAVE DONE PREVIOUS RECALL ON IT ALSO. I THINK THE VEHICLE IS DEFECTED "LEMON". TOYOTA SHOULD REPLACE THE VEHICLE OR REIMBURSE ME THE WHOLE AMOUNT. *TR

I NOW HAVE 47,000 MILES ON MY COROLLA.TODAY I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND APPROACHED THE SPEED OF ABOUT 65 MPH. I ATTEMPTED TO CHANGE TO THE RIGHT LANE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN. I DID NOT KNOW HOW TO DESCRIBE IT OTHER THAN TO SAY THAT I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE STEERING AT ALL FOR ABOUT ONE QUARTER OF A MILE. I HAVE SINCE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS AND CAN AGREE THAT IT WAS AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS HYDROPLANING AND IT WAS VERY SCARY. THE CAR ACTUALLY PROCEEDED DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE TWO RIGHT LANES AND LUCKILY NO ONE WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE OR I WOULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT. ONCE I SLOWED DOWN, CONTROL RESUMED AND I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND WAS VERY SHAKEN. WE TOOK THE CAR TO TOYOTA AND THE RESPONSE FROM THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS THAT THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ANY COMPLAINTS OR RECALLS, BUT HE WOULD CHECK IT OUT (REALLY?). HE LATER CALLED AND SAID HE FOUND A BRAKE PROBLEM, BUT NOTHING WITH THE STEERING. NOT SATISFIED WITH THIS ANSWER SINCE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AND THERE IS A PROBLEM. HE BLEW IT OFF AS WIND OR PERHAPS THE ROAD CONDITION. IT WAS NOT WINDY AND I WAS ON A SMOOTH INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. NOT MEANING TO BE RUDE, BUT WHY DOES THIS INVESTIGATION SHOW CLOSED WITH 298 COMPLAINTS? WHY ARE THOSE OF US COMPLAINING NOT BEING TAKEN SERIOUSLY? THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM STARTED WITH JUST A FEW AND ESCALATED. WHY CAN WE NOT TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM NOW BEFORE PEOPLE ARE INJURED? AND LAST, WHY DOES A SAFETY ISSUE SUCH AS THIS THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED HIGH PRIORITY TAKE SO LONG TO GET SOMETHING DONE? I AM IN SALES SO I DRIVE A LOT OF MILES AND HAVE OWNED SEVERAL DIFFERENT VEHICLES THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER BEEN CONCERNED REGARDING MY SAFETY AND THAT OF OTHERS AROUND ME WHILE OPERATING MY VEHICLE DUE TO AN ISSUE I CANNOT CONTROL SUCH AS THIS. *TR
