INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) [XXX] MAY 21, 2010 HERITAGE TOYOTA SHELBURNE RD. DEAR HERITAGE TOYOTA, I AM RETURNING THE TOYOTA COROLLA I PURCHASED FROM YOU LESS THAN 30 DAYS AGO. I EXPECT A FULL REFUND AS PROVIDED BY STATE AND FEDERAL STATUTES. I FIND IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT TRACK STRAIGHT. IT TOO READILY REDIRECTS ITSELF FROM A STRAIGHT PATH, DRIFTING ALTERNATELY FROM TO RIGHT OR LEFT. MY DRIVING TIME IS SPENT INTENSELY CONCENTRATING ON CORRECTING THE RIGHT AND LEFT ADJUSTMENT THE VEHICLE HAS MADE ON ITS OWN. IT FEELS LIKE I AM DRIVING ON RAILS THAT I DO NOT HAVE CONTROL OVER OR THAT I AM DRIVING ON THE CREST OF A SEVERELY CROWNED ROAD AND THAT I MUST CONSTANTLY REDIRECT THE VEHICLE BACK UPHILL TO THE TOP PF THE CROWN.. THE STEERING DOES NOT HAVE A SWEET NEUTRAL SPOT; IT IS AS IF THE VEHICLE IS ALWAYS TRYING TO TURN AND IT MY JOB TO CORRECT ITS TURNING. THIS HAPPENS ON ALL ROADS AND AT ALL SPEEDS. IT HAPPENS BOTH WHEN I AM HOLDING ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL AND CONCENTRATING ON CORRECTING, AND ALSO WHEN I RELAX MY GRIP FROM THE WHEEL AND LET THE CAR 'TRACK' ON ITS OWN. THERE IS NO TIME I AM NOT WORKING TO KEEP THE CAR ON THE ROAD. IN ADDITION TO THE TYPICAL/USUAL TASK (THE JOY OF DRIVING) OF STEERING TO KEEP THE CAR ON THE ROAD, I AM FORCED TO ALSO STEER TO COMPENSATE FOR THE RANDOM TURNS THE VEHICLE MAKES ON IT OWN. I THOUGHT THE STEERING WOULD 'WEAR-IN' BUT I THINK IT IS GETTING WORSE. THE LAST STRAW HAPPENED YESTERDAY (WHILE I WAS OUT OF TOWN), WHEN MY WIFE DROVE IT FOR THE FIRST TIME, SHE CALLED ME TO ASK ME, 'WHAT I HAD DONE TO THE STEERING, BECAUSE SHE HAD DIFFICULTY KEEPING THE CAR ON THE ROAD.' NOTE: I DROVE MY OLD CAR ON THIS TRIP TO BOSTON BECAUSE THE 2010 COROLLA IS TOO TIRING AND THUS UNSAFE TO DRIVE LONG DISTANCE. [XXX] *TR

I JUST BOUGHT A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA LESS THAN 30 DAYS AGO. I BELIEVE THE STEERING IS EITHER GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR AT LEAST CAUSE US TO GET A TICKET FROM DRIFTING IN AND OUT OF OUR LANE OF TRAFFIC. I AM 32 YEARS OLD AND HAVE BOUGHT AND DROVE TONS OF VEHICLES SO I AM NOT AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER. I OWN A 1988 TOYOTA PICKUP THAT IS EASIER TO KEEP IN A STRAIGHT LINE THAN THIS CAR. BEFORE I WAS READY TO PURCHASE THE CAR I DID SOME RESEARCH AND SAW SOME COMPLAINTS ABOUT HOW HARD IT WAS TO KEEP THEM DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST PEOPLE JUMPING ON THE TOYOTA RECALL BANDWAGON TRYING TO GET SOMETHING FOR NOTHING. I ALSO FIGURED IT WOULD BE A PERFECT TIME TO BUY A TOYOTA AND GET A DEAL BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS THEY ARE HAVING. WHEN I MENTIONED THE PROBLEM TO THE DEALER WHILE TEST DRIVING THE CAR HE SAID " I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING. IT PROBABLY WILL JUST TAKE SOME GETTING USED TO." IT HAS BEEN A MONTH AND THEIR IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING. IT IS VERY VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP IN A STRAIGHT LINE. IT IS ALMOST SO SENSITIVE THAT JUST PUTTING YOUR HANDS WHEEL WILL CAUSE A SLIGHT CHANGE IN DIRECTION. THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP THE CAR IN A STRAIGHT LINE DOWN A STRAIGHT ROAD IS TO TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF THE WHEEL. IF IT IS WINDY THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO CORRECT FOR DIRECTIONAL CHANGES THAT ARE NOT HAPPENING. IT DRIFTS HORRIBLY BAD DURING EVEN SMALL WINDS. I KNOW IT IS NOT JUST MY DRIVING HABITS. WE JUST MOVED FROM PALMER ALASKA AND ROUTINELY DROVE A 1990 FORD ESCORT, AND THE 1988 TOYOTA PICKUP IN WINDS OVER 50 MILES AN HOUR WITH EFFECTS LESS THAN THOSE IN THE 2010 COROLLA. *TR

PURCHASED A NEW 2010 COROLLA. DRIVING HOME FROM WORK LAST WEEK, I HAD TWO SERVICE LIGHTS ON (MY CAR HAS 1400 MILES ON IT). THE STEERING IN THE CAR SEEMED "LOOSE" AS I DROVE HOME, BUT WHEN I WENT TO TURN ON MY STREET, THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT TURN AND THE ABS FAILED. I HIT A CURB ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD DAMAGING A STRUT AND AN ALLOY WHEEL. MY LOCAL DEALER, LAKELAND TOYOTA, TOLD ME IT WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM BUT THAT I NEEDED TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD NO IDEA WHY THOSE TWO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON. I AM CURRENTLY TRYING TO WORK WITH TOYOTA CORPORATE TO GET THIS RESOLVED IN A MANNER THAT I WILL FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR. KIND OF HARD TO DO WHEN THEY REFUSE TO ACCEPT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN AND WAS HIT ON THE DRIVER SIDE BY ANOTHER VEHICLE TRAVELING AT 55 MPH. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AND THE PASSENGER SUFFERED BRUISING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TRAVELING FAST ENOUGH TO CAUSE THE AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 5,020. UPDATED 10/27/10. *LJ

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD SWERVE TO THE RIGHT AND LEFT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FUNCTIONING NORMALLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 43,749. UPDATED 03/05/14*LJ THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE AT TIMES, AND IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL COMING FROM THE VEHICLE, AN ISSUE WITH THE IGNITION AND THE FRONT END.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE APPROACHING A STOP SIGN WITH HIS FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO A FENCE. THE CONTACT SUFFERED BACK INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP MARCH 22, 2010 FOR THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL MODIFICATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 2,500 UPDATED 07/27/10*JB ...UPDATED 02/11/15 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED HE APPROACHED A STOP A STOP SIGN,: TRAVERSED THE INTERSECTION, ENTERED THE PARKING LO, TRAVERSED A LAWN AND THEN STUCK A FENCE. UPDATED 03/02/15*JB

I JUST RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA CONCERNING A 19 STATE RECALL OF 'SSC 90H - CERTAIN 2009-2010 COROLLA AND COROLLA MATRIX BRAKE SYSTEM VACUUM PORT SPECIAL SERVICE CAMPAIGN". THIS NOTICE ADVISES (UNDER "WHAT IS THE CONDITION"? "IF THE VEHICLE IS OPERATED UNDER EXTREMELY LOW TEMPERATURES, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT CONDENSED MOISTURE FROM A POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION (PVC) PORT MAY SEEP INTO THE BRAKE SYSTEM VACUUM PORT ("PORT") AND FREEZE. THE PORT IS LOCATED INSIDE THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND PROVIDES VACUUM ASSIST FOR THE BRAKES. SHOULD THIS CONDITION CONTINUE, ICE MAY SLOWLY ACCUMULATE AT THE PORT AND IN THE WORST CASE, ULTIMATELY PLUG THE PORT. AS A RESULT, POWER ASSIST TO THE BRAKES WOULD GRADUALLY DECREASE (EVENTUALLY TO ZERO), AND THE INCREASED PEDAL PRESSURE REQUIRED COULD LEAD TO GREATER VEHICLE STOPPING DISTANCES." "WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?" "IF YOU BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A POSSIBILITY FOR YOUR VEHICLE TO BE OPERATED IN THE 19 SPECIFIED STATES OR IN THE CONDITIONS DESCRIBED ABOVE, PLEASE CONTACT ANY AUTHORIZED TOYOTA DEALER AND ...." THIS DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM IS VERY SUBJECTIVE ("POSSIBILITY OF CONDENSED MOISTURE...", "ICE MAY SLOWLY ACCUMULATE..."IF YOU BELIEVE THERE IS A POSSIBILITY FOR YOUR VEHICLE TO BE OPERATED..." . I HAVE ALREADY OPERATED THE VEHICLE IN NEVADA (ONE OF THE 19 STATES LISTED). IF THIS IS REALLY A SAFETY CONCERN I WOULD THINK THAT ALL VEHICLES SHOULD BE EITHER A) FIXED WITH THE REDESIGNED AIR INTAKE CONNECTOR OR B) PROVIDE THE VEHICLE WITH A SAFETY WARNING STICKER (PLACED PROMINENTLY ON THE STEERING WHEEL?) THAT ADVISES THE DRIVER THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN FITTED WITH THE REDESIGNED AIR INTAKE CONNECTOR AND THAT VACUUM BRAKE FAILURE MAY OCCUR WHENEVER THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW X DEGREES F (Y DEGREES C) FOR PERIODS GREATER THAN I HOURS. WITHOUT SPECIFICS I DON'T KNOW IF I SHOULD RECEIVE THIS NEW PART, AND IF I ELECT NOT TO, HOW DO I PASS ON THE POSSIBLE EXTENDED LOW TEMPERATURE IMPACT TO FUTURE OWNER(S)? *TR

2010 RECALLED TOYOTA COROLLA TRANSMISSION FAILING- NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY LOOSES POWER THEN JERKS FORWARD WHENFINALLY SHIFTS. HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY AND ALL THE TIME ON STREETS AND FREEWAYS TOYOTA NOT PROBLEM FOUND I WAS ADVISED BY TOYOTA THIS IS NORMAL OPERATION DUE TO THE THROTTLE BODY WIRE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS NO FIX AT THIS TIME. CAR IS GOING BACK TO CORPORATE TOYOTA FOR 2ND INSPECTION ASKING FOR NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THIS CAR. DRIVIBILITY OPERATIONS UNSAFE. *TR

SINCE ABOUT A MONTH AFTER PURCHASING MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA IN APRIL OF 2010 I HAVE HAD SEVERAL EXPERIENCES WITH THE BRAKES WHEN STOPPING ON MULTIPLE SURFACE TYPES, INCLUDING WET ROAD, UNEVEN SURFACE AND UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. THE BRAKES MAKE A GRINDING SOUND AND SEEM TO SKIP AS I PUSH DOWN, SLOWING MY BRAKING TIME AND MAKING ME FEEL LIKE I'M GOING TO NOT BE ABLE TO STOP. THE GRINDING WAS SO SEVERE THAT IT VIBRATED THOUGH MY LEG. MY VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY HOWEVER I DID TAKE IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHILE IT WAS COVERED AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT IN ORDER TO REPAIR IT THEY WOULD NEED TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. OF COURSE THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN, DID A BRAKE INSPECTION AND SAID IT WAS ALL JUST FINE. SHORTLY AFTER THIS VISIT, THE BRAKES DID THE SAME GRINDING WHEN STOPPING AS HAD HAPPENED BEFORE. I AM A CONSCIENTIOUS DRIVER AND TREAT MY VEHICLE GENTLY AND THERE IS NO REASON THIS SHOULD BE HAPPENING TO A BRAND NEW CAR. WE NEED MORE ATTENTION PLACED ON THIS PROBLEM AND A RECALL MUST BE ISSUED BEFORE THERE ARE MULTIPLE CASUALTIES. ALSO WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS HOW THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 2010 COROLLA FOR A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES BUT THEY EXCLUDED CERTAIN STATES THAT ARE IN PROXIMITY TO STATES WHERE VEHICLES WERE RECALLED. HOW CAN THEY BE SURE OTHER VEHICLES WEREN'T AFFECTED? *TR

HIGH SPEED STEERING IS VERY SENSITIVE. MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH. OVERSTEERING IS COMMON. THE CAR CHANGES LANES WITH JUST 1/2" OF MOVEMENT ON THE STEERING WHEEL. *TR

2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. CONSUMER STATES SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE RELATED TO TIRES AND ACCELERATOR *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED SHE HAD TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES TO GET AIR IN THE TIRES AND TO HAVE THE WOBBLING OF THE VEHICLE EXAMINED. THE CONSUMER STATED ON MAY 10, 2010, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECAME STUCK WHEN SHE ATTEMPTED TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS HESITANT TO STOP. THE CONSUMER STATED SHE HAD TO APPLY EXTREME PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE AND SHE ALSO HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO GET TRY AND GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP, BUT IT WASN'T IN TIME AND CONSEQUENTLY, SHE HIT AN 18 WHEELER.*JB UPDATED 07/29/10.*JB

JUST PURCHASED NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA 4 DAYS AGO AND I'M HAVING STEERING DIFFICULTY AT SPEEDS OF 60+ MPH. THE CAR IS VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP CENTERED IN THE LANE AND IT CONSTANTLY SWAYS LEFT AND RIGHT. STEERING CORRECTION IS NEEDED EVERY FEW SECONDS TO PREVENT UNINTENDED LANE CHANGES. IT FEELS AS IF THE CAR IS BEING BOUNCED AROUND BY STRONG WINDS, BUT NO WIND IS PRESENT. THE CAR FEELS OUT OF CONTROL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND I AM VERY CONCERNED AS TO ITS SAFETY. *TR

ANTI-LOCK BRAKES GO INTO A CHATTER, WHEN WET, AT LOW SPEEDS, AND DO NOT STOP THE CAR VERY WELL. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. A FEW DAYS LATER, THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN SO THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE FUEL LINE AND WIRES UNDER THE HOOD WERE CHEWED AWAY. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE UNKNOWN.

ON 05/03/2010 AFTER MY DAUGHTER GRADUATION FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA WE WERE DRIVING TOYOTA COROLLA 2010 FROM GAINESVILLE FL TO FT. LAUDERDALE FL. WE WERE KEEPING SPEED OF THE VEHICLE AROUND POSTED LEGAL LIMIT OF 70 MPH AND EXPERIENCED SOME DIFFICULTIES TO KEEP THE VEHICLE STRAIGHT WITHIN THE LIMITS OF THE LANE BOUNDARIES.THIS CAR IS SUPPOSE TO BE DRIVEN BY MY DAUGHTER WHO ONLY NOW IS STARTING TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAYS AND I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY OF THE CAR. WE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS DURING ALL OUR PREVIOUS DRIVING EXPERIENCES WITH OTHER CARS. WE ACTUALLY LOOK AT THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT IT IS SEEMS NOT OUR UNIQUE EXPERIENCE AND MAY BE RELATED TO THE DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING DEFECTS IN THE NEW ELECTRIC POWER STEERING DEVICE ON THE TOYOTA COROLLA LATEST MODEL. PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THE PROBLEM BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE FOR SOME TOYOTA COROLLA OWNERS. *TR

BASICALLY, THE CAR LOSES ALL ITS BALANCE WHEN YOU HIT ABOUT 50MPH ON HIGHWAY. STEERING BECOMES VAGUE. THE CAR DRIFTS LEFT OR RIGHT, AS IF A REALLY STRONG WIND HITS THE SIDES. INSTEAD OF GETTING HEAVIER, STEERING BECOMES SO LIGHT, YOU CAN'T KEEP THE CAR IN THE LANE. IN TWO RECENT OCCASIONS, I ALMOST HIT THE CARS WHICH WERE DRIVING NEXT TO ME, IN THEIR LANES. *TR

PURCHASED A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA USED FROM A TOYOTA DEALER WITH UNDER 5000 MILES ON THE CAR. THE THIRD DAY I OWNED IT THE BRAKES BEGAN TO MAKE EXCESSIVE NOISE. THE CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THREE SEPARATE DEALERS ALL WHO FAIL TO RECOGNIZE OR FIX THE PROBLEM THE BRAKES SOMETIMES SHUDDER ON UNEVEN PAVEMENT OR IF BRAKING ON A SLIGHT CURVE. AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT HAS BEEN MADE TO TOYOTA. THE NOISE IS EXCESSIVE AND LOUD AND TYPE OF NOISE YOU WOULD HEAR AFTER 30,000 MILES WHEN IN NEED OF BRAKE REPLACEMENT. ON THE THIRD VISIT TO A DEALER, A TECHNICIAN RODE IN THE CAR AND POSITIVELY IDENTIFIED THE NOISE. THEY THEN CLAIMED TO HAVE TAKEN APART THE WHEELS/BRAKES ONLY TO CLAIM THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM AND REFUSED TO REPLACE THE BRAKES UNDER THE EXISTING WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. BECAUSE THE BRAKES MAKE SUCH A LOUD NOISE SO FREQUENTLY, IT WOULD SEEM THE CAR MAY BE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. ALSO, ALTHOUGH THE CAR WAS PURCHASED THROUGH THE TOYOTA DEALER AND AS AN OWNER I WAS REGISTERED WITH THEIR ONLINE OWNER SITE, I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF THE LATEST SAFETY RECALL, AND DIDN'T FIND OUT UNTIL THE CAR WAS TAKEN IN A THIRD TIME FOR THE BRAKE ISSUE. THE PROBLEM REMAINS ONGOING. *TR

2010 TOYOTA COROLLA LE - WANDERING OF VEHICLE WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ALIGNMENT IS ALSO OFF. *TR

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL, SITTING STOPPED IN TRAFFIC, THE BRAKE PEDAL SEEMS TO FADE AWAY INTERMITTENTLY. YOU ONLY LOOSE ABOUT 1-2" OF PEDAL HEIGHT, BUT THE CAR WILL START TO ROLL FORWARD IF YOU DO NOT NOTICE IT AND APPLY MORE PEDAL PRESSURE TO STOP THE CAR. I AM ASE CERTIFIED IN BRAKES AND IT HAS A BAD MASTER CYLINDER. TOYOTA STATES THE THIS IS A "NORMAL" CONDITION FOR THIS VEHICLE AND REFUSES TO WARRANTY THIS ISSUE. THIS VEHICLE HAS 4800 MILES ON IT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, SHE DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT SLOW DOWN, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND STARTED VEERING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT SEVERAL TIMES. THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE SIDE OF ANOTHER VEHICLE, AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TOL ACCELERATE AND VEER LEFT TO RIGHT. THE CONTACT HAD HER FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL DURING THE ENTIRE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE FINALLY STOPPED ACCELERATING AND THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. NO POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO STATED THAT A CASE MANAGER WOULD CONTACT HER WITHIN TWO DAYS. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 4,741. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE MANUFACTURER WOULD PROVIDE NO ASSISTANCE AND ADVISED TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILES WERE 2,700.

AS I APPLIED THE BRAKES ON MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA, THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO MOMENTARILY SURGE BEFORE SLOWING DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON OTHER OCCASIONS AS WELL. THE DURATION OF THE SURGING SENSATION IS VERY BRIEF. *TR

I JUST TOOK MY BRAND NEW 2010 COROLLA ON THE HIGHWAY FOR THE FIRST TIME LAST WEEKEND. IT WAS AS IF WIND WAS BLOWING THE CAR BACK AND FORTH. IF YOU LEFT THE WHEEL IN ONE PLACE, THE CAR WOULD STILL VEER AS IF YOU WERE SLIGHTLY TURNING THE WHEEL ONE WAY OR THE OTHER (CONSTANT CORRECTION REQUIRED). ALSO, ON THE TRIP BACK I HAD A FULL CAR WITH 5 NORMAL SIZED INDIVIDUALS. THE CAR VEERING WAS MUCH WORSE. IT WAS AS IF THE TIRES WERE VERY LOW ALSO. JUST A FEELING OF NOT HAVING CONTROL OVER THE CAR. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 COROLLA AND HAD STEERING DIFFICULTIES. AT HITTING HIGHWAY SPEEDS, IT WOULD FEEL LIKE THE WIND WAS BLOWING MY CAR INTO THE OTHER LANE, YET THE WIND WAS NOT BLOWING. ON 4-25-2010, MY CAR JERKED RIGHT WHILE GOING 43, CAUSING ME TO HIT A DITCH, GO AIRBORNE, HIT A TELEPHONE POLE, DO A 360 AND LAND BACK ON IT'S WHEELS. MY CAR IS NOW NOT DRIVABLE AND NOT REPAIRABLE. BEFORE THE ACCIDENT I THOUGHT IT WAS THE WIND BLOWING MY CAR, BUT MOMENTS AFTER THE WRECK I KNEW IT WAS SOMETHING MORE. SEEING OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, I NOW KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S 4/22/10 .ON THE 70 MILE DRIVE HOME , I NOTICED THAT THE CAR WANDERED ALOT AS IF IT WERE BEING BUFFETED BY WIND. AT TIMES THE CAR WOULD EVEN CROSS THE CENTER LINE INTO ONCOMING CARS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH THIS STEERING. MY 2009 DIDN'T HAVE THIS ISSUE. IF ANY POLICEMAN WERE FOLLOWING ME ,THEY WOULD PROBABLY ASSUME I WAS DRUNK. *TR

I'M ALSO MAKING A FOLLOWUP TO MY ORIGINAL COMPLAINT #10302584. THESE COROLLA'S HAVE A SERIOUS BUILT IN PROBLEM! YOU (ODI) STARTED AN INVESTIGATION IN FEB. STATING 168 COMPLAINTS ON THE STEERING IN 09 AND 10 COROLLAS, THERE ARE NOW ALMOST 500!!! 95% OF THEM SAY THE SAME THING! CAR WANDERS, FEELS LIKE IT'S WINDY WHEN IT'S NOT, CAR STEERS ON ITS OWN, WANDERS BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT, FEELS LIKE IT',HYDROPLANING, CONSTANT CORRECTION NEEDED, FEELS LIKE I DON'T HAVE CONTROL, AND ON AND ON AND ON. WHY DON'T YOU HAVE TOYOTA SEND A QUESTIONNAIRE OUT TO COROLLA OWNERS AND ASK THEM HOW THEIR CAR DRIVES ON THE HIGHWAY? I SAW A FRIEND DRIVING ONE ALMOST IDENTICAL TO MINE TODAY AND ASKED HIM HOW HIS HANDLED ON THE ROAD AND HE DESCRIBED THE SAME FEELING. I SUGGESTED HE TELL THE DEALER AND ALSO FILE A REPORT ON THIS SITE. THE DEALER SAYS TOYOTA IS INVESTIGATING BUT NOTHING IS HAPPENING YET. COULDN'T ODI SPEED THIS UP A LITTLE. I TOOK MINE IN AT 400 MILES AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG AND OFFERED ME 14000 TRADE IN AGAINST A USED CAMRY (I PAID 17800) NOW , AT 7000 MILES THEY OFFER 12500 I'M BLEEDING BAD AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. PLEASE HELP ME AND OTHER COROLLA OWNERS. THANKS FOR LISTENING TO MY RANT. *TR

TAKATA RECALL MY CAR HAS 79628 MILES, MY DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED BY THE DEALER ATLANTIC TOYOTA IN HATILLO P.R. TOO MANY YEARS DRIVING WITHOUT A PASSENGER ON MY FRONT SEAT Y FEEL LIKE AN UBER DRIVER. TOYOTA SHOULD GIVE ME A NEW CAR FOR FREE.

I AM A NEW OWNER OF A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. I AM EXPERIENCING STEERING PROBLEMS ON THE EXPRESSWAY WHERE THE CAR WANTS TO DRIFT FROM SIDE TO SIDE AND REQUIRES CONSTANT CORRECTION BY THE DRIVER TO MAINTAIN PROPER CONTROL. THIS IS AN ONGOING OCCURRENCE AND NOT DUE TO ANY PARTICULAR ROAD CONDITIONS. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND THEY SAID THAT THEY HAVE NOT HAD ANY OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS EVEN THOUGH RESEARCHING THE INTERNET I FOUND THAT OTHERS WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. IT ALSO STATED THAT THERE WERE LESS THAN 100 COMPLAINTS, SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT I REPORTED MINE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATE SPEEDS OF 20-25 MPH AND APPROACHING A TRAFFIC STOP. AS HE PROCEEDED TO ACCELERATE FROM THE STOP, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND. SUDDENLY, THERE WAS AN UNUSUAL INCREASE IN ENGINE RPMS AND THE VEHICLE ABNORMALLY ACCELERATED AT A RAPID RATE OF SPEED. THE CONTACT PLACED THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND ENGAGED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE REPAIRS WERE MADE UNDER NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V023000 (VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL: ACCELERATOR PEDAL). IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES, HE WOULD HEAR A LOUD UNUSUAL NOISE. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE BRAKE FAILURE AND THERE WERE NO FURTHER REPAIRS MADE TO THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,865 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 3,904.

STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA SHOT UP TO 6,000 RPM/100MPH. WE WERE ABLE TO PUT IT IN PARK AND SHUT CAR OFF BEFORE IT LURCHED FORWARD INTO THE CAR AHEAD. TOYOTA HAS HAD THE CAR SINCE MONDAY AND IS TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE COMPUTER. A REPORT WAS FILED WITH CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER AND A CASE NUMBER HAS BEEN ASSIGNED TO THE INCIDENT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT STAY IN A STRAIGHT LINE WHILE DRIVING OVER 30 MPH. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO MOVE FROM THE LEFT TO THE RIGHT. WHILE DRIVING OVER 30 MPH IT TOOK GREATER EFFORT TO KEEP THE STEERING WHEEL STRAIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE STEERING EPS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, BUT THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A DATE THAT THE PART WOULD BE AVAILABLE. REPORT 1007080021 WAS FILED WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 4,966.

2010 TOYOTA COROLLA STEERING UNSTABLE TO DRIVE. *TR

PURCHASED A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA LE AT THE END OF DECEMBER 2009...IN ADDITION TO THE FLOOR MAT RECALL (OFFICIAL RECALL NOTICE, FOR SAME, FINALLY RECEIVED FROM TOYOTA CORP. IN TODAY'S MAIL) & THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION PROBLEM (ALREADY HAD PART RETROFITTED TO GAS PEDAL; EVEN THOUGH TOYOTA NEVER SENT A RECALL NOTICE)...AN ONGOING PROBLEM STILL EXISTS WITH THE AUTOMATIC STEERING: WHEN DRIVING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED, HAVING TO "WRESTLE" WITH THE STEERING WHEEL IN ORDER TO KEEP THE CAR WITHIN THE LANE; CONSTANT MOVEMENT / VEERING OF VEHICLE BECAUSE OF UNUSUAL / UNACCEPTABLE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION. STRESSFUL DRIVING DUE TO HAVING TO GRIP THE WHEEL WHICH IS IN CONSTANT MOTION; FEARFUL OF LOSING CONTROL OF THE AUTOMOBILE WHILE TRAVELING AT 65+ MPH IN HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. HAVE CONTACTED DEALERSHIP, ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS THUS FAR, TO FIND OUT IF THEY CAN RECTIFY THIS ISSUE. BEING TOLD THAT TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS HAS NOT SENT A REPAIR RECOMMENDATION TO THEIR DEALERS & THE SERVICE DEPTS, CURRENTLY, DO NOT KNOW HOW TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. I'M FULLY AWARE THAT TOYOTA ISSUED A PRESS RELEASE STATING THAT THEY ARE "INVESTIGATING" THIS PROBLEM; UNFORTUNATELY, JUST NOT FAST ENOUGH. REQUESTING THAT NHTSA REQUIRE A DEADLINE DATE FOR TOYOTA TO COME UP WITH A "FIX" FOR THE AUTOMATIC STEERING PROBLEM(S) EVIDENT IN THIS MODEL VEHICLE & A RECALL BE ISSUED FOR SAME. IT IS AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS CONDITION & COULD CAUSE CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENTS, IF IT HASN'T ALREADY. *TR

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS MY CARS STEERING FEELS AS IF IT WERE A WINDY DAY, IT TAKES A LOT OF CORRECTION OF THE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP THE CAR STRAIGHT. IT HAS EVEN SWERVED TO OTHER LANES BEFORE ALMOST CAUSING ME TO CRASH. THE CAR FEELS UNSAFE AND TOYOTA NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM BEFORE ANY INJURIES OCCUR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH ATTEMPTING TO STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED FOLLOWED BY, A LOUD NOISE AND JERKING MOTION. AN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION OCCURRED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE WEATHER AND ROAD CONDITIONS. THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED THE FAILURES PREVIOUSLY AND WAS ADVISED BY THE DEALER THAT THERE WAS NOT A PROBLEM. AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED WITH THE DEALER FOR SERVICE REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000. UPDATED 06/02/10. *LJ UPDATED 07/13/10 *JB

I OWN A 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA WITH 19,000 MILES. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN TWICE FOR A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES. I HAVE OWNED MANY CARS BUT NONE HAVE EVER FELT SO UNRESPONSIVE WHEN YOU HIT THE BRAKES, ESPECIALLY IN THE EVENT OF A FAST STOP. THE DEALERS TELL ME THIS IS NORMAL FOR VACUUM ASSISTED BRAKES. A BRAKE PEDAL THAT GOES ALMOST TO THE FLOOR WHEN STOPPING AND REQUIRES DANGEROUS DISTANCES TO FULLY STOP IS NOT NORMAL, AND IF TOYOTA HAS DESIGNED THE SYSTEM TO FUNCTION LIKE THIS THEY HAVE A BAD DESIGN FOR A MAJOR VEHICLE SAFETY FUNCTION. THE BRAKING SYSTEM IN THE 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA MAY BE A DANGEROUS DESIGN FLAW. YOU MAY NEED TO EVALUATE THIS FUNCTION OF THE TOYOTA. *TR

STEERING COMPLAINT. I JUST PURCHASED A USED 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA FOR MY 60 MILE DAILY FREEWAY COMMUTE. THE STEERING IS VERY CONCERNING TO ME AS IT SEEMS LIKE I HAVE TO STRUGGLE TO KEEP THE VEHICLE STRAIGHT. IT'S ALMOST AS IF IT'S FLOATING AND BEING BLOWN IN THE WIND, EXCEPT THERE'S NO WIND ACTUALLY BLOWING OUTSIDE. THIS IS VERY NOTICEABLE (AND CONCERNING) DUE TO MY LONG COMMUTE. *TR

I BOUGHT A TOYOTA COROLLA 2010 LE ON 04/03/2010, AND WHEN I DROVE IT ON THE FREEWAY FIRST TIME, I WAS SHOCKED/SCARED THE WAY WAS STEERING/HANDLING. I ALMOST HAD TWO ACCIDENTS WITH IT BECAUSE OF THE STEERING ISSUE. WHEN I DROVE IT ON THE FREEWAY I SAW THAT THE CAR IS LOOSING BALANCE (THE BACK CAR SHAKES), I FOUND STABILITY PROBLEMS (AS IF I DRIVE IN STRONG WINDS), AND BIG STEERING PROBLEMS (AS I LEARN TO DRIVE A TRICKY BICYCLE). TO GET AND MAINTAIN AN ALMOST CONTROL ON THE CAR DIRECTION I HAVE TO FOCUS MY ACTIONS AS MY COROLLA HAS ONLY TWO WHEELS LIKE A BIKE. I ALMOST ACT AS AN EQUILIBRATE FOR A ROPE DANCING. THE EXPERIENCE OF DRIVING MY COROLLA SHOWED THAT I HAVE LIMITED CONTROL OVER IT, AND MOST CONTROL I LOST WHEN I HAD TO USE SUDDEN BRAKES AT HIGH SPEED - IT WAS LIKE ON THE ICE. BACK JUMPS AND I STIR IN SAME DIRECTION; BACK JUMPS AGAIN IN THE OTHER DIRECTION AND I CHANGE THE STEERING IN THE OTHER DIRECTION TOO, AND SO ON. THESE EVENTS OCCUR ALMOST EVERY TIME I DROVE WITH SPEED AROUND 60 MILES/HOUR ON THE FREEWAYS THAT ARE NOT STRAIGHT. THE CONSEQUENCE IS THAT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY NEW CAR BECAUSE I AM NOT ABLE TO CONTROL IT, AND I RISK AN ACCIDENT. I WENT TO TOYOTA DEALER, THEY SAID THAT THEY KNOW THE SITUATION FROM OTHER CUSTOMERS TOO, BUT NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUES UNTIL IS NOT TOO LATE, AND PEOPLE MAKE ACCIDENTS AND INJURE. THANK YOU. *TR

TOYOTA COROLLA 2010 STEERING UNSTABLE TO DRIVE SPECIALLY FREEWAY DRIVING. EVERY TIME YOU DRIVE IT FEELS LIKE IT WANT TO GO LEFT OR RIGHT. WENT TO BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND TRY IF THEY CAN FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID NOTHINGS WRONG WITH THE CAR IT IS JUST A LIGHT CAR. I TOLD THEM I USED TO DRIVE A SMALL TOYOTA YARIS AND IT IS MUCH MORE STABLE TO DRIVE THAN THE COROLLA I JUST BOUGHT. PLEASE DO HELP ME! THE CAR IS BRAND NEW. I'M STARTING TO LOOSE MY TRUST WITH TOYOTA. *TR
