2010 Toyota Corolla Complaint Log

GRINDING NOISE COMING OUT OF THE FRONT BRAKES DUE TO WARPAGE IN THE FRONT ROTORS. *TR

1. THIS CAR CAN NOT BE DRIVEN IN A STRAIGHT LINE ON THE HIGHWAY EVEN WHEN YOU HOLD STEERING WITHOUT MOVING. IT SEEMS VEHICLE SLOWLY, CONSISTENTLY DRIFTS MOSTLY TO THE LEFT AND TO THE RIGHT. ONE NEEDS TO PAY SO MUCH ATTENTION ON STEERING WHILE DRIVING. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN THERE SINCE DAY ONE (8 MILES) AND I REQUESTED TO FIX BEFORE I SIGN THE PAPER WORK BUT NOT HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OTHER THAN CAR WASH. THIS ISSUE STILL EXISTS EVEN AFTER PERFORMING ALIGNMENT DURING OUR FIRST SERVICE VISIT AS I THOUGHT IT WAS AN ALIGNMENT ISSUE. WE BELIEVE IT IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE THAN STICKY PEDAL AND POSE A POTENTIAL RISK FOR COROLLA OWNERS IF WE CAN NOT CONTROL STEERING. IT HAS POTENTIAL ROAD HAZARD AS THE VEHICLE WANDERS BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT ESPECIALLY WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC AND FEELS LIKE CAR WHEELS ARE NOT UNDER CONTROL. WE ARE POSITIVE THAT THESE STEERING/SUSPENSION ISSUES WERE ALSO RAISED ON OTHER 2010 COROLLAS BY A NUMBER OF OWNERS. TOYOTA AND DEALERS MUST BE FULLY AWARE OF THESE CONCERNS BUT FAILED TO DECLARE UP FRONT. DURING OUR SECOND VISIT THEY TOLD US ABOUT TS 1040 AND REPLACED STEERING CONTROL COMPUTER BOARD. SEEMS WANDERING ISSUE IS GONE FOR NOW. BUT TIRES ARE PROBLEM AS I AM HAVING CONCERN FROM THE BEGINNING. 2. I FEEL HUMMING MILD VIBRATION/RESONANCE IN STEERING WHEEL WHEN WE CROSS 50-60 MPH. IT FEELS LIKE TIRES ARE VIBRATING THE STEERING WHEEL. REPLACING COMPUTER CONTROLLER DID NOT FIX MILD VIBRATION OF STEERING. 3. TIRES: AS I HAD DOUBT ABOUT TIRES THIS COULD BE TIRES PROBLEM BUT TOYOTA SERVICE TEAM IS NOT WILLING TO ACCEPT THE FACT. ONCE YOU CROSS 62 MPH YOU CAN CLEARLY FEEL THE TIRE VIBRATION MAINLY IN A STEERING WHEEL AND ALSO ON THE VEHICLE. ROAD FORCE BALANCING HAS BEEN DONE BUT THERE IS NO IMPROVEMENT. I AM NOT SURE IT IS ENGINE RELATED OR TIRES. I HAVE BEEN INSISTING ON REPLACING ANOTHER SET OF BETTER BALANCED TIRES OR DIFFERENT MAKE OF TIRES.

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

THERE WAS NO INCIDENT AS OF THIS DATE HOWEVER THERE COULD BE IF SOMETHING IS NOT DONE. MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA HAS A GLITCH IN THE POWER STEERING AND TOYOTA DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL ON IT IN THE UNITED STATES. I HAVE SEEN AN ARTICLE IN THE PAPER REGARDING TOYOTA RECALLING 185,000 VEHICLES IN JAPAN AND EUROPE DUE TO A POWER STEERING GLITCH. I HAVE SPOKEN TO TOYOTA IN CALIFORNIA ABOUT MY CAR AND MY CONCERN BUT THEY JUST TAKE MY INFORMATION AND SAY THAT THEY'LL PUT IT ON RECORD. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO ME. I KNOW OF ANOTHER CUSTOMER OF VILLAGE CADILLAC AND TOYOTA IN HOMOSASSA, FLORIDA (WHICH IS WHERE MY CAR WAS SERVICED) HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. ALSO THE PREVIOUS OWNER OF MY TOYOTA EXPRESSED A CONCERN ABOUT THE POWER STEERING. I DO KNOW THAT TOYOTA CHANGED THE POWER STEERING TO AN ELECTRICAL TYPE POWER STEERING IN LATE 2009 BUT CHANGED IT BACK TO THEIR OLD SYSTEM BY LATE 2010, THIS TELLS ME THEY KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND THIS IS 2013 AND THERE'S BEEN NO RECALL YET. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE FIRST? I REALLY WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR HELP IN THIS MATTER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP UNTIL IT CRASHED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DRIVER SUFFERED A SERIOUS INJURY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKES WERE NOT FUNCTIONING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 5,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

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

VEHICLE PURCHASED WITH 7,418 MILES ON IT. WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 50MPH AND ABOVE THE VEHICLE WILL WANDER WITHOUT TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. CONSTANT STEERING CORRECTION IS REQUIRED TO KEEP VEHICLE STRAIGHT. VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL IS VERY OUT OF SYNC WITH VEHICLE WHEELS WHEN DRIVING FROM A STAND STILL AND MOVING AT A VERY SLOW SPEED AND TURNING.

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 20 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE EXHIBITED AN UNUSUAL INCREASE IN RPMS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKES THE RPMS WOULD EITHER DECREASE OR INCREASE RAPIDLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE RPMS WERE OPERATING NORMALLY AND THERE WERE NO REPAIRS FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED WHO STATED THAT HE SHOULD CONTACT ANOTHER DEALER FOR A SECOND OPINION ON THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 500 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 2,000.

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

Unintended acceleration since purchase of vehicle.

I PURCHASED MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA IN OCTOBER 2010, ABOUT A MONTH LATER I BEGAN NOTICING PROBLEMS WITH MY BRAKES. PRESSING THE BRAKES THERE IS A SLIGHT ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE, TAKING MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE THE CAR ALSO ACCELERATES BEFORE SLOWING DOWN, I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE ACCELERATION. TO THIS DAY, THE BRAKES STILL REGULARLY ACCELERATE. OTHERS WHO HAVE DRIVEN MY CAR IMMEDIATELY EXPERIENCE THE BRAKE ACCELERATION AND ARE VERY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING MY CAR. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES WHEN THE PROBLEMS BEGAN BUT THEY DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEMS (I DID KEEP THE WORK ORDER RECEIPTS), I HAVE NOT BEEN TO THE DEALER RECENTLY. *TR

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 LOANER VEHICLE. CONSUMER STATES UNINTENDED ACCELERATION*TGW THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN HIS MOTHER DROVE THE VEHICLE OFF THE LOT, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND SHE HIT AN ONCOMING VEHICLE. *JB UPDATED 12/15/14.*JB

I AM WRITING ON BEHALF OF MY MOTHER WHO WAS INJURED IN AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT ON NOVEMBER 16, 2010. MY MOTHER WAS DRIVING A LOANER CAR PROVIDED BY A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP LOCATED IN SUFFOLK COUNTY, NEW YORK. WHEN MY MOTHER WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE OFF THE CAR LOT, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND SHE HIT AN ONCOMING VEHICLE. MY MOTHER SURFFERED A FRACTURED STERNUM AND WAS HOSPITALIZED FOR 4 DAYS. ON FEBRUARY 8, 2011, THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED FOR DEFECTS BY TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, USA. THE CONCLUSION WAS THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING PROPERLY AND, THERE WAS NO MALFUNCTIONS NOTED. PRIOR TO THE INSPECTION BY TOYOTA, MY NEPHEW LOCATED THIS SAME VEHICLE ON LINE, USING THE VIN#, IT WAS NOTED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, AND THE ACCIDENT WAS CAUSED BY ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. I AM ASKING THAT YOUR AGENCY INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER. IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS SOME DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THE CURRENT INSPECTION AND THE PREVIOUS FACTS/ACCIDENT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS VEHICLE. I ORIGINALLY SENT THIS LETTER TO YOU AGENCY ON APRIL 13, 2011. YOUR AGENCY RESPONDED ON AUGUST 31, 2011 WITH THE FOLLOWING NOTATION, NVS-216 MEC, REF. NO. 10397716. *TR

MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA STEERING IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. THE CAR WANDERS AROUND THE ROAD. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE ALIGNMENT. DESPITE AN ALIGNMENT SERVICE, THE STEERING IS STILL VERY DIFFICULT AND EXHAUSTING. THE WANDERING, CORRECTIVE STEERING MEASURES THAT HAVE TO BE TAKEN AND CONSTANT VIGILANCE WHEN DRIVING ARE EXHAUSTING. IT IS A DIFFICULT CAR TO DRIVE, PARTICULARLY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WITH NARROW ROADS AND AT THE HIGHER CRUISING SPEEDS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM THE SHOWROOM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH THE CONTACT WAS REAR ENDED WHILE TRYING TO MAKE A TURN. UPON IMPACT THE CONTACT TRIED TO PUMP HER BRAKES AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO SURGE FORWARD. THE CONTACT TRIED TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND IT CONTINUED TO SURGE FORWARD INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. SHE RECEIVED MINOR ABRASIONS AND WAS SEEN WENT BY HER PERSONAL DOCTOR THE FOLLOWING DAY. A POLICE WAS FILED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,000.

WHEN USING BRAKES I FEEL GRINDING OR SCRUBBING SOUND,AND CAR WOULD VIBRATE AND SLOW TO STOP, PULLING CAR TOWARD LEFT WHEN STOPPING. I TOOK IT TO TOYOTA DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM, REPORTED COMPLAINT ASKED THEM TO CHECK BRAKES,(THIS WAS WITH MY ROUTINE SERVICE CARE). AFTER THEY FINISHED WITH CALL I HAD TO ASK ABOUT MY BRAKE COMPLAINT THE MAN SAID NOTHING WRONG,I TOLD HIM THAT IT DIDN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME I USED BRAKES BUT FREQUENTLY.ALSO I WAS NOT USING CAR ALOT DUE TO INJURY. I'M NOT SURE ABOUT EXACT MILES OR TIME FRAME BUT I WAS STILL UNDER MY 2 YEAR FREE SERVICE PLAN. THEN A MONTH AFTER MY SERVICE PLAN ENDED I HAD CAR SERVICED, I COMPLAINED AGAIN ABOUT BRAKES, AFTER THEY FINISHED WITH MY CAR, I HAD TO ASK AGAIN ABOUT MY BRAKES THE MAN SAID "OH,THEY NEED TO BE CHANGED BUT IT CAN WAIT TO NEXT SERVICE TIME AND YOU WILL NEED TIRES THEN. I DIDN'T WAIT TO NEXT SERVICE TIME, DUE TO PLANNED TO HAVE SURGERY. I GOT BRAKES CHANGED AT LOCAL BRAKE SHOP, EVEN AFTER THAT, I STILL HAVE TIMES BRAKES GRIND ETC...BRAKES CHANGED A YEAR AGO AND THE GRINDING GETTING WORSE. I JUST DRIVE TO TAKE SON TO AND FROM SCHOOL AND BALL, DOCTOR APPTS.MY OLDER SON WENT TO GET GROCERIES FOR ME YESTERDAY HE SAID MY STEERING WHEEL SHAKING. I'M DISAPPOINTED WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, I DON'T FEEL LIKE THEY LISTENED OR EVEN CHECKED THE BRAKES BECAUSE I HAD TO ASK THE FINDINGS, HE WOULD SAY WHAT I STATED ABOVE BUT HE DOES NOT GO BACK TO GARAGE AREA. *TR

I HAVE A TOYOTA COROLLA 2010,I HAD IT SINCE JUNE 2010, . I WENT THROUGH A MAJOR CAR ACCIDENT ON HW 1 CA @ 8:45 AM ON TUESDAY WHICH WAS A SUNNY, CLEAR , NOT FOGGY NOR RAINY DAY (WEATHER CONDITION WAS PERFECT),I WAS DRIVING ON 63 MPH (NORMAL SPEED IS 65) ON THE FAST LEFT LANE AND SUDDENLY I FELT THAT THE LEFT FRONT TIRE IS VEERING THE CAR INTO A DIFFERENT DIRECTION ACTING AS IF IT BELOW UP (BUT IT DIDN'T) AND MY CAR IS VEERING TO THE LEFT , MY STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED AND IS NOT RESPONDING AT ALL WHEN TRYING TO CHANGE THE CAR DIRECTIONTO THE RIGHT. THERE WAS NO WAY TO DRIVE THE CAR IN A STRAIGHT LINE. THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED COMPLETELY TO RESPOND TO ANY ATTEMPT TO TURN IT TO THE RIGHT IN AN ATTEMPT TO GAIN CONTROL OVER THE CAR AND ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE IT IN STRAIGHT LINE. BRAKES AS WELL WERE NOT RESPONDING. ALL ATTEMPTS TO STOP THE CAR OR TURN IT TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID BUMPING THE RAILS AND KEEP IT STRAIGHT IN THE LANE FAILED. I COMPLETELY LOST CONTROL OVER THE CAR & IT STARTED FISHTAILING IN THE FRONT. THE CAR DIDN'T STOP UNTIL IT BUMPED INTO THE GUARDING RAIL, AT THIS MOMENT THE CAR JUST STOPPED AND IT TOOK THE CAR MORE THAN 20 FEED TO AUTOMATICALLY STOP BY IT SELF. I FAILED TO STOP IT.AT THIS MOMENT THE CAR CORRECTED ITS DIRECTION &WENT IN STRAIGHT LINE DIRECTION SCRUBBING AGAINST THE RAIL COMPLETELY DAMAGING THE ENTIRE LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR BEFORE IT STALL. THEN ALL THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS AND CAR SOUNDS WENT ON AND THE CAR STALLED. THE CAR WAS NOT IN A DRIVABLE CONDITION SO I HAD TO TOW IT AWAY. I HAVE A WITNESS WHO DESCRIBED MY ACCIDENT SAYING THAT MY CAR KEPT SWERVING TO THE LEFT & WAS AMBIGUOUSLY UNCONTROLLED, HE WAS THE ONE THAT TOOK CARE OF ME AFTER THE CAR BUMPED THE RAIL. THIS ACCIDENT IS A LIFE THREATENING ACCIDENT NOT ONLY FOR ME BUT ALSO FOR OTHERS ON THE HW. I WAS LUCKY IT HAPPENED ON MY WAY HOME AFTER I DROPPED OFF MY SON TO SCHOOL ,THE TWO CAR SEATS I HAD IN THE CAR WERE DAMAGED, THE CAR DAMAGE WAS ESTIMATED BY $10,000. I SUFFER FROM A SEVERE PAIN. *TR

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

2010 TOYOTA COROLLA LE - WANDERING, FLOATING EFFECT STEERING. ON ROADS THAT SLOPE TO RIGHT OF VEHICLE, OCCASIONALLY VEHICLE WILL PULL LEFT SHARPLY INTO INCOMING TRAFFIC. REQUIRES CONSTANT STEERING CORRECTION. WHEN DRIVING ON A COUNTRY ROAD IN THE RAIN, CAR WOULD PULL SHARPLY TO THE LEFT WHEN DRIVING UNDER LOW OLDER POWER LINES. DEALER MECHANIC TEST DRIVE DESCRIBED "FLOATING" WANDERING STEERING. ALIGNMENT SHOWED REAR AXLE COULD NOT BE ALIGNED. TIRE INFLATION CORRECT. DEALER SAID THAT NO REPAIRS ARE AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER THREE TIMES ASKING FOR REPAIRS. 7400 MILES ON VEHICLE. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE A LITTLE OVER A WEEK AGO, AND HAVE HAD IMMENSE PROBLEMS STEERING IT. ONCE I HIT 35-40 MILES PER HOUR, IT BECOMES INCREDIBLY STIFF AND DIFFICULT TO STEER. HIGHWAY MILES ARE THE MOST DIFFICULT, AND IT TAKES AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF EFFORT TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT. I HAVE HAD INCREDIBLE PAIN IN BOTH SHOULDERS SINCE BUYING THIS CAR, A PROBLEM I HAVE NEVER HAD BEFORE DRIVING ANY OTHER CAR. FOR WHATEVER REASON, STABILIZING THIS VEHICLE IS INCREDIBLE DIFFICULT, AND IN MY OPINION, IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS A RESULT. DUE TO THE PAIN IN BOTH OF MY SHOULDERS, AND MY SAFETY CONCERNS WHILE DRIVING IT, I WILL UNDOUBTEDLY BE SELLING THIS CAR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. CONSUMER EXPRESSES DISCONTENT REGARDING RECALL *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED A RECALL WAS ISSUED JUNE 20TH AND HE STILL HASN'T BEEN NOTIFIED. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL; THE CONTACT HAD TO GRIP IT WITH BOTH HANDS. AT LOWER SPEEDS OF 20 MPH, THE CONTACT HAD A LITTLE MORE CONTROL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO STATED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER THE PARTS FOR REPLACEMENT (REPLACEMENT PARTS UNKNOWN). THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,400.

I BOUGHT A 2010 COROLLA S MODEL IN OCT 15, WITHIN A MONTH I HAVE EXPERIENCED A STRANGE NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE, THIS HAPPENED WHEN TURNING AT LOW SPEEDS AND GOING OVER A SPEED BUMP AT LOW SPEED I HAVE LESS THAN 1,000 MILES AND HAVE HEARD THIS NOISE THREE TIMES. VERY CONCERNED BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW! *TR

I AM DRIVING MY CAR GOING APPROX. 45 - 55MILES A HOUR WHEN SUDDENLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. WHEN THIS OCCURS THE CAR GRADUALLY BEGINS TO SLOW DOWN AND WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO ACCELERATE. I CAN PRESS THE PEDAL DOWN BUT THE CAR DOES NOT READ THAT I AM PRESSING THE PEDAL. STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT BEGINS TO BLINK AND CAR GRADUALLY COMES TO A FULL STOP. WHEN I PULL OVER THE RPMS ARE REVVING ABOVE 1 RPM BUT I AM NOT PRESSING THE GAS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON AND THE DEALER SIMPLY TOLD ONE TIME I NEEDED A NEW BATTERY. I BOUGHT IT FROM THEM. THEY SAID YOUR ALTERNATOR IS BAD AND I REPLACED IT AND CHECK ENGINE AND STABILITY LIGHT COME ON AGAIN. I SHOULDN'T HAVE SO MANY PROBLEM WITH A CAR THAT WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW AND IS NOT EVEN 2YRS OLD. *TR

2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. CONSUMER STATES ISSUE REGARDING FLOOR MAT RECALL. *TGW THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION PROBLEM WAS BEYOND THE FLOOR MATS. HE BELIEVED THE PROBLEM WAS ELECTRONIC. THE CONSUMER STATED HIS MOTHER TOOK HER VEHICLE TO THE DEALER IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE RECALL. *JB

BOUGHT A NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S. DROVE IT ON THE HIGHWAY. THE STEERING IS HORRIBLE. THE CAR WILL VEER TO THE RIGHT, THEN WITH A SMALL CORRECT, WILL PULL TO THE LEFT. YOU GET IT GOING STRAIGHT THEN IT WILL PULL ONE WAY OR THE OTHER ALL BY ITSELF. KIND OF LIKE IT IS REALLY WINDY, BUT TODAY WAS A CALM DAY. THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN READING, A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? SOMEONE TO DIE? *TR

2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. CONSUMER WRITES REGARDING PROBLEMS WITH CRUISE CONTROL *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED DURING THE FIRST FEW MONTHS WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ACTIVATED AND SET AT 60 AND 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD SURGE . SHE IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL TO STOP THE ACCELERATION. THE UNEXPLAINED ACCELERATION NOT ONLY HAPPENED WHEN GONG UP SMALL HILLS, BUT IT ALSO HAPPENED ONCE ON A LEVEL HIGHWAY. THE CONSUMER STATED THE SPEEDOMETER ROSE ABOVE THE CRUISE CONTROL SPEED SETTING. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT WAS ATTEMPTING TO REVERE WITH THE BRAKES DEPRESSED WHEN THE VEHICLE ABNORMALLY ACCELERATED. THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A PARKED VEHICLE AS A RESULT OF THE FAILURE. A POLICE REPORT WAS AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NEITHER REPAIRED NOR DIAGNOSED FOR THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 3,380. UPDATED 1/25/11 *CN UPDATED 02/07/11

TAKATA RECALL. WE JUST RECEIVED THE RECALL INFO AND WERE DETERMINED TO BE IN ZONE B BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS REGISTERED IN CT. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN FLORIDA IN 2013, WHERE IT ORIGINATED. MY DAUGHTER WAS IN SCHOOL IN FLORIDA SO THE CAR WAS THERE UNTIL SHE GRADUATED IN MAY OF 2016. WE MOVED TO NORTH CAROLINA, RENTING SINCE APRIL 2016 AND NOW OWNING SINCE JUNE 2016. ALL THIS IS TO SAY THAT THE CAR, SINCE IT'S ORIGINATION HAS RESIDED 95% OF THE TIME IN FLORIDA AND VIRTUALLY NOT AT ALL IN CT. WE FEEL THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE PLACED INTO ZONE A, DUE TO IT HAVING BEEN MOSTLY IN FL AND NOW IN NC AND ESPECIALLY SINCE MY DAUGHTER AND HER FRIENDS USE THE CAR FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME.

WHILE MERGING INTO THE LEFT LANE ON THE MEADOWBROOK PKWY., MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA WITH (8,300 MILES AT THE TIME), ACCELERATOR STUCK. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED. I PANICKED, LOOKED DOWN, AND SAW THE PEDAL STUCK ALL THE WAY DOWN. AFTER A FEW SECONDS I JAMMED ON THE BRAKES, & THE PEDAL RELEASED. I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS WAS DUE TO THE FLOOR MAT. MY MAT WAS NOT ON THE ACCELERATOR. THIS CAR FROM THE BEGINNING HAD "POOR PICK-UP". BY THAT, I MEAN IT WAS VERY SLOW WHILE TRYING TO MERGE ONTO PKWY'S TO THE POINT THAT I ALWAYS HAD TO FLOOR IT. I ALSO FROM TIME TO TIME HEARD A VERY SLIGHT CLICK WHILE STEPPING ON THE ACC. PEDAL. BUT FOR THE FIRST TIME, IT ACTUALLY STUCK ON ME. I OWNED A 2005 COROLLA BEFORE THIS CAR, & IT WAS NOTING LIKE THIS CURRENT CAR. I ALSO OWNED A 1999 CAMRY, & A 2003 4-RUNNER. UNTIL NOW, I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM. *TR

2010 TOYOTA COROLLA, 4 MONTHS OLD UNDER 5000 MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO A CAR WASH TO EVALUATE A SCRATCH FOUND AFTER GOING THROUGH THE WASH. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OUTSIDE THE CARWASH RUNNING WITH THE DRIVERS DOOR OPEN FOR 1 TO 2 MINUTES AND WHEN THE DOOR WAS CLOSED TO LOOK AT THE SCRATCH ON THE DOOR THE CAR SHIFTED INTO GEAR AND ACCELERATED MOVING APPROX 10 FEET AND CRASHING INTO A BOLLERSTER. NO ONE WAS IN THE CAR AND THIS WAS WITNESSED BY THE OWNER AND CAR WASH MANAGER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 10 MPH AND ATTEMPTING A RIGHT TURN WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND. THE VEHICLE VEERED OUT OF ITS LANE AND CRASHED HEAD ON INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INJURED HOWEVER, HER PASSENGER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE CHEST AND NECK. THE DRIVER OF THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS ALSO INJURED. THE POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED TO ASSIST. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT FOUND THE VEHICLE LOCKED IN FIRST GEAR WHEN THEY ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE IT. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE POSSESSION OF THE CONTACTS INSURANCE COMPANY WHO WOULD LATER INVESTIGATE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 10,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING INTO PARKING SPACE AT 3 MPH AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL THERE WAS A SUDDEN ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE, AND IT CRASHED INTO THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING WHICH CAUSED MAJOR DAMAGES. NO ONE WAS INJURED AND THE POLICE WERE NOT CALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BY THE DEALER WHO REPAIRED THE DAMAGES FOR $5,000. THE MANUFACTURER SENT A REPRESENTATIVE TO INSPECT THE FAILURE. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE THEY FOUND NO FAILURE WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,400 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 4,400.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE ACCESSORY BELT BROKE IN THE ENGINE. THE CHARGING SYSTEM LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, INSTRUCTING HER TO NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE BELT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO STATED THAT THE DEALER WOULD PERFORM THE REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 4,600.

WHEN DRIVING MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA ON THE HIGHWAY, THE STEERING WILL SUDDENLY DRIFT FROM SIDE TO SIDE GIVING THE SENSATION THAT I AM HYDROPLANING OR THAT MY TIRES ARE BALD, EVEN THOUGH THE ROADS ARE COMPLETELY DRY. LUCKILY, NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET, BUT IT IS VERY DISCONCERTING AND VERY SCARY. I COULD EASILY SEE SOMETHING HAPPENING IF I WERE TO OVERCOMPENSATE AND STEER TO THE OTHER DIRECTION. THIS WOULD BE EASY TO DO BECAUSE THE STEERING FEELS SO LOOSE. I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING YET. IT'S SUCH A NEW CAR THAT I'M NOT SURE WHAT I CAN DO - UNTIL SOMETHING ACTUALLY FAILS, WHICH WOULD BE TOO LATE. I REALLY HOPE NHTSA RESEARCHES THIS ISSUE IMMEDIATELY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 55 MPH AS THE STEERING WHEEL BECOME VERY STIFF AND DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN.

TOYOTA 2010 COROLLA. SUDDEN ACCELERATOR PROBLEM: AFTER HAVING THE RECALL UPDATE TO OUR COROLLA, A FEW MONTHS LATER, WE EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN ACCELERATION PROBLEM WITH OUR CAR. FROM A PARKED POSITION NEXT TO THE CURB, WE PUT OUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THEN PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE TO BACK AWAY FROM THE CAR IN FRONT OF US, AND THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND PROCEEDED TO JUMP OVER A CURB AND HIT A TREE NEXT TO US ON THE SIDE WALK. AGAIN, THIS WAS WHEN THE CAR WAS IN REVERSE, SO THE ACCELERATION WAS GOING BACKWARDS, WITH OUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE. AFTER TAKING OUR CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR CONSULTATION ON SEPT 7TH, THEY INDICATE THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND WE WOULD NEED TO CONTACT TOYOTA DIRECTLY ON THIS PROBLEM. IT IS NOW NEARLY A MONTH LATER, AND WE STILL HAVE NOT BEEN "VISITED" BY THE TOYOTA ENGINEERING TEAM. WE WERE ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER BY TOYOTA AND TOLD TO WAIT TO HEAR FROM THEM. WE ARE STILL WITHOUT OUR CAR AND WAITING SOME KIND OF FORMAL INSPECTION FROM THE TOYOTA CORPORATE TEAM. THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER IS TRYING TO HELP AS WELL AND IS ALSO CONTACTING TOYOTA CORPORATE FOR ASSISTANCE. THIS IS NOT FAIR TO BE WITHOUT OUR CAR AND SOME REASSURANCE FROM TOYOTA THAT THIS WON'T HAPPENED AGAIN TO OUR CAR. AS OF THIS DATE OCTOBER 1, 2010, NO INSPECTION HAS TAKEN PLACE ON OUR CAR. WE'RE STILL WAITING. *TR

I OWNED A 2009 COROLLA AND THE ACCELERATOR SURGED IN CHARLOTTE N.C, IN MARCH OF 2010. I TRADED FOR A 2010 COROLLA, THIS CAR HAS AS SERIOUS PROBLEMS. I HAVE SPOKEN TO MY INSURANCE AGENT TWICE LAST WEEK, ASKING IF HE HAD ANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT STEERING CONTROL. THIS CAR, AT SPEEDS OF 45MPH AND UP MOVES ABOUT THE LANE ABRUPTLY AND IS NOT EASY TO CORRECT. IT IS REALLY EASY TO OVERCORRECT. THE CAR FEELS AS IF THERE IS LOTS OF PLAY IN THE STEERING AND MOVES TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT. IT IS A CONSTANT ORDEAL TO MAINTAIN CONTROL. LAST WEEK I PULLED OVER ALONGSIDE I85 IN SALISBURY N.C. TO GATHER MYSELF. I BELIEVE THIS CAR WARRANTS A RECALL. I'M RELUCTANT TO DRIVE IT, BUT IT IS THE ONLY CAR I HAVE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS FURTHER. *TR
