2015 Toyota Corolla Complaint Log

NOISE COMING FROM FROM SUSPENSION.

I WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END COLLISION GOING 35MPH AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THIS IS FASTER THAN THE SPEED AT WHICH THE MANUAL STATES AIRBAGS SHOULD DEPLOY FOR THIS VEHICLE. I WAS INJURED AS A RESULT OF THIS ACCIDENT.

2015 TOYOTA COROLLA ACCELERATED ON IT;S OWN WHEN SLOWING DOWN ON BRAKE TO TURN INTO MY DRIVEWAY. I WAS SCARED FROM IT AND HAD NO CONTROL AND TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND PUMPED IT AND STOPPED THE CAR BEFORE IT CRASHED INTO THE BRICK WALL. I NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE BEFORE AND HOPEFULLY, NEVER AGAIN. MY CAR IS AT 54K IN MILES AND I WAS GOING AT 10 MPH.

COMPUTER IS SENDING FALSE CODES. CAR WON'T ACCELERATE FROM A STOP THEN EVENTUALLY STARTS MOVING VERY SLOWLY. UNHOOKING THE BATTERY THEN HOOKING IT BACK UP DOES A HARD RESET ON THE COMPUTER WHICH MAKES THE CAR WORK PROPERLY FOR A DAY OR SO THEN IT DOES IT AGAIN. WAS TOLD BY MECHANIC THE COMPUTER DOESN'T KNOW WHAT GEAR THE CAR IS IN.

ATLANTA GA TEMP WAS 105 ON AUG 7, WHEN I HEARD A POP SOUND AND THEN THE PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR EXPLODED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE'S RPMS MALFUNCTIONED. AFTER RELEASING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED RAPIDLY ON ITS OWN. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE. BIG ISLAND TOYOTA (811 KANOELEHUA AVE, HILO, HAWAII 96720, (808) 935-2920) WAS NOTIFIED, BUT COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000.

VEHICLE SPEEDS UP AND LUNGES FORWARD ON ITS OWN

VEHICLE ACCELERATES INDEPENDENTLY WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES NOW. SO FAR NO ACCIDENTS BUT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ISSUE. ALSO THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, HEAR CREEKING NOISE WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKES PEDAL (CAR IN MOTION) AND NOISE IS GETTING WORSE.

CVT TRANSMISSION, CAR WILL NOT GOING OVER 35 MILES PER HOUR. EVERYDAY THE CAR HAS THIS PROBLEM.

VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AT TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER FOR A SIMILAR ISSUE INCLUDING AN IDLE ISSUE. ACCELERATION ISSUE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED, BUT STILL HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AFTERWARDS. INITIAL ISSUES STARTED AT 8K MILES AND HAS BEEN SERVICED ON TIME, MULTIPLE TIMES FOR SAME ISSUE WITH NO RESOLVE. TOYOTA HAS ISSUED A RECALL IN MARCH 2018 FOR ISSUE AND SUSPENDED IT DUE TO THE RECALL MAKING THE ISSUES WORSE. NO SOLUTION OR OTHER SERVICE OFFERED TO REPAIR PROBLEM.

THE CAR IS 3 YEARS OLD. 56K MILES. AIR BAG LIGHT HAS COME ON WITH A CONSTANT BLINKING SEATBELT LIGHT.

AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION: THE VEHICLE WILL DOWNSHIFT EXTREMELY HARD WHEN ACCELERATING. THIS PROBLEM OFTEN HAPPENS WHEN GOING UPHILL AND CAN BE VERY STARTLING. THE DOWNSHIFT IS JOLTING AND IS BY NO MEANS A NORMAL DOWNSHIFT. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BROUGHT ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS TO THE DEALER WHICH THE CAR WAS PURCHSED. THE DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WHEN TEST DRIVING. THE INTERMITTENT PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR.

KEYES TOYOTA OF VAN NUYS CONTACTED ME REGARDING A RECALL ON TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE UPDATE. THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE SERVICED. WAS TOLD IT WILL CAUSE AN "ABNORMAL WEAR" WAS NOT SPECIFIC AS TO WHAT EXACTLY. HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER/NOTICE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER (KEYES TOYOTA, 5855 VAN NUYS BLVD, VAN NUYS, CA 91401, (818) 305-6926) CALLED THE CONTACT TO INDICATE THAT THE MANUFACTURER ISSUED AN UNKNOWN TRANSMISSION RECALL ON MARCH 28, 2018. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE SERVICED PER THE MANUFACTURER RECALL CAMPAIGN. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL; HOWEVER, A RECALL NOTICE HAD NOT BEEN ISSUED AND THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN SIEZED, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO VEER TO THE LEFT WHILE BEING OPERATED AT 60 MPH. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A CEMENT BARRIER. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A SALVAGE YARD AND DEEMED DESTROYED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT SUFFERED MINOR BRUISING FROM THE COLLISION, WHICH DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 33,000.

MY WHEEL BEARINGS WENT OUT ON MY CAR 4X ALREADY WE WAS THERE A RECALL ON THE 2015 COROLLA

I NOTICE THAT THE TRANSMISSION STARTS SKIDDING DOESN'T RESPOND QUICKLY THE WAY IT SHOULD WHEN I'M STARTING TO MOVE THE CAR. IT STAYS IN BLANK. AND I HAVE TO TRY TO INCREASE VERY SLOWLY THE CAR AND PICK UP MILEAGE FOR IT TO GO AWAY. IN THE HIGHWAY IF THERE ARE CARS STOPPING I HA E TO STOP. IF I SEE THROUGH MY REAR WINDOW THAT A CAR IS COMING FAST FROM BEHIND AND I WANT TO MOVE TO AVOID TO GET HIT FORM BEHIND MY CAR WILL MOVE SOMETHING BUT NOT AS FAST ENOUGH TO AVOID GETTING HIT BECAUSE IT STAYS IN BLANK. LIKE SKIDDING. I BELIEVEL THIS COULD BE HAZARDOUS TO ME AND MY FAMILY BECAUSE IF I FIND MYSELF IN A SITUATION THAT I HAVE TO MOVE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE TO AVOID SOMEONE ON THE ROAD TO HIT ME I WON'T BE ABLE TO MOVE AS FAST AND CAN BE HIT BY ANOTHER CAR. I LET THE DEALER SERVICE DEPT. KNOW THEY TELL ME THAT I HAVE TO WAIT FOR A RECALL. I'M VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS SITUATION. THE DEALER TOLD ME ABOUT A CODE THAT TOYOTA HAS TO WORK ON IT TO FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS COMPUTERIZED. I ASKED IF THE DEALER NOTIFIED THE PROBLEM TO TOYOTA. THEY SAID NO. MY QUESTION IS WHEN SIL I HAVE THIS PROBLEM SOLVED? THIS IS HAPPENING EVERY DAY. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS FOR THE DRIVER AND THE PASSENGERS IN THE CAR, (MY FAMILY). THANK YOU FOR TAKING THIS SITUATION INTO CONSIDERATION. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN FEBRUARY. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT SOON A RECALL WOULD COME OUT AND THEY WOULD LET ME KNOW. I'M STILL WAITING.

2015 TOYOTA COROLLA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TRANSMISSION FAILURE. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED 2 YEARS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND OFFERED ASSISTANCE. *JS

WHEN I PUSH THE START BUTTON ON MY VEHICLE IT TAKES A MINUTE TO START. IT DOESN'T START UP RIGHT AWAY LIKE IT USED TO. THEN THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES LOCKED MAKING IT HARD TO STEER. WHEN I DRIVE THE VEHICLE THE WHEEL THEN GETS LOOSE.

IT HAPPENED TWO TIMES IN THE EXACT SAME PLACE ONCE ON OCT. 24, 2017, AND JAN 24, 2018. I HADN'T DRIVEN THE CAR FROM OCT. 24 TIL DEC 20. I PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT, PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE COMING TO A STOP, WENT TO CHANGE TO REVERSE GEAR AND BACK INTO MY SPOT AND THE CAR JUST TOOK OFF,LUNGING FORWARD HITTING THE HOUSE IN FRONT OF ME. IT DID A LOT OF DAMAGE TO MY CAR, AND ALSO THE HOUSE. THE AIRBAG NEVER WENT OFF, AND THE SEAT BELT DIDN'T PREVENT ME FROM MY CHEST HITTING THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAD A VERY SORE BRUISED STERNUM FOR OVER ONE WEEK. IT HAPPENED WITHIN ONE MONTH OF DRIVING. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR ANYMORE. IF I WAS OUT IN TRAFFIC OR IF SOMEONE WAS IN FRONT OF ME, I COULD HAVE KILLED MYSELF, OR THEM!! TOYOTA SAYS THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, BUT WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU EXPECT THEM TO SAY.

I WAS INVOLVED IN A SEVERE ROLL OVER ACCIDENT LATE AT NIGHT. I ROLLED 4 TIMES AND SLID 300 FEET UPSIDE DOWN. LUCKILY IM ALIVE THANKS TO MY SEAT BELT AND THE REINFORCED FRAME. HOWEVER, I HAVE A SEVER CONCUSSION BECAUSE MY FRONT AIR BAGS NEVER WENT OFF. THE SIDE ONES DID BUT NEVER THE FRONT. THIS CAUSED ME TO HAVE VERY BAD BRUISING ON MY HEAD AND A CONCUSSION.

I HAVE A 2015 TOYOTA COROLLA WITH 85,000 MILES. IT HAS A NOISE SENSE IT HAD 33,000 MILE AND TOYOTA IGNORE IT, (CLUNKING) IN THE FRONT LEFT SIDE WHEN GOING THROUGH SMALL POTHOLES AND UNEVEN SURFACES AT SLOW SPEEDS. I HAVE CHANGED THE STRUT MOUNTS, SWAY BAR LINKS, SWAY BAR BUSHINGS AND EVEN THE SWAY BAR AND NOTHING HAS CHANGED. I DO NOT WHAT ELSE TO DO. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THREE MECHANICS AND NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE NOISE. MY LAST MECHANIC ADVISE ME ALOT OF TOYOTA COROLLA HAVE THIS ISSUE HE ADVISE TO REPLACE THE LOWER CONTROL ARM IT WILL FIX THE ISSUE AND TOYOTA SHOULD THINK ABOUT RECALL IT THIS ISSUE EVERYONE HAVE.

THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING FOR THE BOTTOM HALF AND THE DEALERSHIP TRIED CHARGING ME TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR THE REPAIR..

I FILED A SIMILAR COMPLAINT IN JANUARY 2017 UNDER COMPLAINT 10947803 AND NOW REALIZE THE DIPSTICK/DIPSTICK TUBE DEFECT ON THESE CARS CAN ALSO BE CATEGORIZED UNDER "OTHER". ------- THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE OIL DIPSTICK AND/OR DIPSTICK TUBE ON THE 2015 TOYOTA COROLLA WHICH USES 0W-20 OIL. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO OBTAIN AN ACCURATE READING ON THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL AND I HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED THIS ON ANY OTHER VEHICLE. THE OIL TENDS TO FORM A LONG "TAIL" UP THE DIPSTICK MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DISCERN WHERE THE ACTUAL LEVEL IS. ATTEMPTING TO OBTAIN A READING WITH MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS YIELDS DIFFERENT POSSIBLE OIL LEVELS AND THE LEVELS ARE DIFFERENT ON EACH SIDE OF THE DIPSTICK. I WOULD NOTE THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED ON NUMEROUS FORUMS ON THE INTERNET INCLUDING FORUMS DEDICATED TO TOYOTA ENTHUSIASTS AS WELL AS GENERAL CAR FORUMS AND ENGINE OIL FORUMS. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED NOT ONLY FOR THE COROLLA BUT ALSO FOR OTHER TOYOTA MODELS. SOME OWNERS HAVE RESORTED TO MODIFYING THE DIPSTICK WHICH SHOULD NOT BE NECESSARY. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. NOT BEING ABLE TO OBTAIN AN ACCURATE READING OF ENGINE OIL LEVEL PUTS THE ENGINE AT RISK OF DAMAGE AND EVEN SERIOUS AND SUDDEN FAILURE IF THE OIL IS OVER OR UNDER FILLED. ENGINE DAMAGE AND PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH CAN OBVIOUSLY OCCUR IF ENGINE FAILURE OCCURS WHILE IN OPERATION ON ROADS. TOYOTA SHOULD TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION ON THIS ISSUE, INVESTIGATE IT, AND PROVIDE A FIX AVAILABLE AT DEALERSHIPS AND ANNOUNCE THAT FIX TO OWNERS. IT IS UNCLEAR WHETHER IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ACTUAL DIPSTICK DESIGN, THE TUBE THAT THE DIPSTICK GOES INTO, OR OTHER, BUT A FIX IS DEFINITELY IN ORDER. I URGE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE.

DRAIN HOSE IN AIR CONDITIONING WAS CLOGGED CAUSING WATER TO ACCUMULATE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR AND SOAKED ALL THE CARPET. THIS IS A RELATIVELY NEW CAR AND THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. OTHER UNKNOWN DAMAGE MAY BE DONE TO THE CAR AS A RESULT OF WATER LEAKAGE (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL WIRING) WHICH COULD POSE A SAFETY HAZARD.

VEHICLE SOLD WITH A DEFECTIVE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. TOOK OUR 2015 TOYOTA COROLLA INTO A SHOP TO GET THE WINDOWS TINTED, THE VENDOR THAT TINTED THE WINDOWS STATED THE VEHICLE WINDOWS SHOULD NOT BE ROLLED DOWN FOR 5 DAYS TO ALLOW THE WINDOW TINT TO DRY. WE FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE VENDOR (TINT MY RIDE) - 1330 S PARKER RD, DENVER, CO 80231 - (720) 808-8286. WE BEGIN ROLLING THE WINDOWS DOWN AFTER 5 DAYS AS INSTRUCTED A FEW WEEKS WENT BY AND I NOTICED A GAP BETWEEN THE TINT AND THE CAR DOOR. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE VENDOR TINT MY RIDE TO HAVE THEM CORRECT THE WINDOW TINT ISSUE AND THE REPRESENTATIVE WHO SOLD MY THE WINDOW TINT (VERONICA) MENTIONED THAT IT WAS NOT A WINDOW TINT ISSUE AND THAT IT WAS A CAR WINDOW ISSUE WITH THE WINDOW SLIDING AND BEING OFF TRACK. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IF CAR MANUFACTURERS ARE ABLE TO SELL BRAND NEW VEHICLES WITH WINDOWS THAT ARE DEFECTIVE AND OFF TRACK. THIS VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND WE HAVE ALWAYS TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN TO GET IT MAINTENANCE ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIPS RECOMMENDATIONS. HOW CAN A DEALERSHIP SELL A BRAND NEW VEHICLE TO A CUSTOMER THAT HAS A DEFECTIVE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW? THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AS A SAFETY ISSUE AS I AM CONCERNED THERE MAY BE OTHER SAFETY CONCERNS WITH THIS VEHICLE.

TAMARA RECALL I HAVE A 2015 TOYOTA COROLLA LE I HAVE SEARCHED ALL OVER THE WEB AND FIND ALL ASPECTS OF THIS VEHICLE AND COMPLAINTS ARE THE SAME THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS FAULTY WIRING ON THE PCM THIS CODE KEEP POPPING UP WHEN I CONNECT MY COMPUTER TO IT P2757 WHICH IS P2757 MEANS A PROBLEM WITH THE TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID DUE TO A BAD TORQUE CONVERTER OR SOLENOID OR ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE CAR IS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD IT SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM THIS CAR ONLY HAS 6,100 MILES AND I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR ALL MOST A YEAR ALSO THE THE TRAC OFF LIGHT IS ALSO ON WHICH MEANS THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ABS SYSTEM ALSO SHOULD BE NO REASON FOR THIS CAR TO HAVE THAT PROBLEM THIS CAR IS TO NEW

I WANT TO REPORT THAT I FOUND A LOOSE BOLT POKING OUT OF THE DRAIN HOLE ON THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR OF OUR 2015 TOYTOTA COROLLA. IT WAS ORIENTED IN SUCH A WAY THAT ONLY THE THREADED END WAS POKING OUT THE HOLE AND HELD INSIDE THE DOOR BY THE BOLT HEAD. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND AS A COURTESY THEY REMOVED THE DOOR PANEL AND DETERMINED IT HAD COME FROM ONE OF THE WINDOW PARTS (REGULATOR OR MOTOR). THEY REINSTALLED AND TIGHTENED THE BOLT. I READ ON THE INTERNET THIS WAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH PREVIOUS TOYOTAS AND CREATED SAFETY CONCERNS. THIS MAY BE A CONTINUED PROBLEM WITH TOYOTAS. IT WAS OBVIOUSLY A VERY SMALL CHANCE THAT THE BOLT ACTUALLY LANDED IN A FASHION TO PARTIALLY STICK OUT OF THE DRAIN HOLE SO I WAS ABLE TO SPOT THIS, SO I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER IF OTHER WINDOW BOLTS IN THE CAR HAVE, OR WILL, COME LOOSE AND FALL INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE DOORS WITHOUT DETECTION. THIS MAY ALSO BE THE CASE WITH MANY OTHER COROLLAS SOLD. BOLTS THAT BECOME LOOSE AND FALL OFF OF WINDOW PARTS COULD LEAD TO INADVERTENT AND DANGEROUS FAILURE OF WINDOWS ON THE ROAD. I SUGGEST YOU INVESTIGATE THIS POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE.

I RECEIVE ONE LETTER FOR RECALL RED COROLLA TOYOTA 2015 AIRBAGS PROBLEMS

I HAVE RECEIVED SEVERAL NOTICES OF AN AIRBAG RECALL IN MY VEHICLE. THE NOTICES INSTRUCT ME TO TAKE THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR IMMEDIATELY. IF I'M UNABLE TO TAKE TO A DEALERSHIP, I'M TO HAVE SOMEONE ELSE PERFORM THE REPAIR AND THEN TOYOTA WILL REIMBURSE ME. THE DEALERSHIP IN COSTA RICA, WHERE MY CAR IS LOCATED, WILL NOT PERFORM THE REPAIR. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA AND AM UNABLE TO FIND OUT EXACTLY WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE OR HOW TO GET REIMBURSED ONCE THE REPAIR IS COMPLETE. THE LAST COMMUNICATION I HAD WITH TOYOTA, A REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME HE WAS WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM JAPAN AND THAT HE WOULD ONLY EMAIL ME IF HE HEARD AND THEY GAVE HIM RELEVANT INFORMATION. SURELY SOMEONE AT THE TOYOTA COMPANY MUST KNOW THE REPAIR NEEDED. IN THE MEANTIME, I KEEP RECEIVING NOTICES FROM TOYOTA ABOUT HOW UNSAFE MY CAR IS AND TO GET IT FIXED IMMEDIATELY. I'M TRYING!!!

DANGEROUS UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. I WAS DRIVING 5-10 MPH IN A PARKING LOT WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATED QUICKLY FOR NO REASON. THE FLOOR MATS WERE FINE. MY FOOT DID NOT SLIP. THE CAR JUST ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN TO ABOUT 35 MPH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 36 MPH, THE DRIVER LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING AND THE VEHICLE ROLLED OVER MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE CRASHING INTO A WOODED AREA. DURING THE INCIDENT, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED, BUT THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A CONCUSSION, AND AN INJURED BACK AND RIBS. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS RECEIVED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000.

MY SON WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND HIT A TREE. THE CAR WAS TOTALED AND THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED AS A RESULT HE HIT THE WINDSHIELD WITH HIS HEAD AND NEEDED STITCHES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A BOULDER ON THE ROADWAY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE ROLLED OVER. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT FACILITY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,900.

AFTER A SHORT TRIP ON CITY STREETS, I CAME BACK OUT TO MY CAR AND NOTICED THE SUNROOF GLASS HAD SPIDER-WEBBED. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME ON THE HIGHWAY, AND WHILE DRIVING AT 60NPH, THE GLASS SHATTERED, LEAVING A HOLE IN THE SUNROOF GLASS.

MY DAUGHTER WAS ON A 2 LANE STRETCH OF I-15 HIGHWAY SOUTHBOUND, APPROX 7 MILES NORTH OF LASVEGAS NV. SHE WAS IN THE LEFT LANE SLOWLY CREEPING BY A 18 WHEEL RIG W/TRAILER. SHE WAS DOING 74 WITH CRUISE CONTROL AND WITNESSES SAY THE RIG MUST HAVE BEEN DOING 73MPH. HE VIOLENTLY TURNED INTO HER LANE CAUSING HER TO DO EVASIVE MANEUVER LEFT AND BRAKE HARD SKIDDING INTO THE SOFT SHOULDER THEN SPINNING CLOCKWISE CROSSING TO THE RIGHT SIDE HITTING A SMALL SHOULDER ELEVATION CHANGE WITH BOTH DRIVERS SIDE WHEELS, CAUSING A DOUBLE ROLL OVER AND A CARTWHEEL LANDING ON THE TRUNK, THEN COMING TO A REST ON THE ROOF. NOT A SINGLE AIR BAG DEPLOYED! SHE SUFFERED MULTIPLE BLUNT HITS TO THE HEAD FROM HITTING AGAINST THE DOOR, SHE HAS A CONCUSSION WITH SPRAINED SHOULDER AND ANKLES. GRANTED SHE SHOULD BE IN MUCH WORSE CONDITION BUT WE ARE GRATEFUL SHE HAD HER BLANKETS AND HER DOGS BEDS THAT FLEW FROM THE BACK SEAT TO THE FRONT HELPING TO KEEP HER PADDED FROM EVEN MORE TRAUMA. I FEEL THAT A SIDE CURTAIN AND STEERING BAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. IS THIS A FLUKE THAT TOYOTA ENGINEERS MISSED? BECAUSE NO PARTICULAR CORNER WAS IMPACTED? THE ROLLOVER IMPACTS WERE AT THE WHEELS, JUST ABOVE BOTH BUMPERS AND THE ENTIRE ROOF AREA.

TAKATA RECALL ACCIDENT WITH DEER APRIL 2017 CAR WAS TOTALED. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED

WHILE PARKING IN A CARPORT, I WILL USE THE BRAKE TO SLOWLY ENTER AND PARK. AS I WAS STRAIGHTENING OUT THE CAR, THE CAR EXCELLERATED AND HIT A POLE, BOUNCING BACK AND FORTH. IT CAUSED MAJOR DAMAGE. I AM WONDERING IF THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CAR OR MY WEARING FLIP-FLOPS MAY HAVE CAUSED THIS ACCIDENT. (NOTE: THIS WAS A LOANER CAR FROM TOYOTA WHILE I WAITED 5 MONTHS TO GET MY 2009 COROLLA XLE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT. THE REPLACEMENT PART SHOWED UP THE VERY NEXT DAY AFTER MY ACCIDENT)

TAKATA RECALL WITH TWO ACCIDENTS INVOLVING DEER COLLISIONS, ONE ON 11/19/2016, AND A SEVERE ONE ON 2/27/2017, 2/27/2017 ALMOST TOTALED THE CAR!! AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED IN EITHER ACCIDENT!!!!

2015 TOYOTA COROLLA. CONSUMER WRITES SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT FOR REMOTE KEY REPAIR. *LD CONSUMER SENDS ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE KEY INSIDE THE REMOTE DOES NOT FIT THE VEHICLE DOOR. *JS

MY DAUGHTER WAS ATTEMPTING TO PARK IN HER COLLEGE PARKING LOT AT FGCU. SHE SAID , THINKS THE BRAKE DIDN'T WORK WHEN SHE APPLIED IT. CAR HIT CONCRETE WALL TO STOP. AAA TOW TRUCK DRIVER CAME AND SAID BRAKES WENT TO FLOOR AND HE HAD TO USE E-BRAKE TO PUT ON TRUCK. HE STATES WHEN HE GOT BACK TO GARAGE BRAKES WORKED. I TOLD TOYOTA. THEY CHECKED BRAKES OUT AND SAID EVERYTHING WAS WORKING FINE. I ASKED THEM TO LOOK AT BLACK BOX. THEY SENT ME RESULTS. I HAD MY INSURANCE CO. LOOK AT THEM ALONG WITH TOYOTA SERVICE ADVISER. BOTH SAID DATA SHOWS GAS APPLIED BEFORE BRAKE. I LOOKED UNDER CAR COMPLAINTS. OTHER PEOPLE HAD SAME PROBLEM. SOME HAD AUTOMATIC ACCELERATION. I DID NOT TELL THEM TO CHECK THAT OUT BECAUSE OF STATEMENT FROM TOW TRUCK GUY. SHE SAID IT HAPPENED SO FAST SHE DOESN'T REMEMBER. THE TIN WHISKERING WAS A PROBLEM FOR TOYOTA IN THE PAST. I BELIEVE THAT THEY HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. CAN THE DATA SHOW IF GAS APPLIED BY DRIVER OR AUTOMATICALLY CAME ON? I HAVE SPOKEN TO ATTORNEYS AND NO ONE SEEMS TO WANT TO TAKE THIS CASE. MY DAUGHTER HAS BACK PAIN AND OTHER ISSUES. AS A PARENT I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO. CAR HAS BEEN REPAIRED. IT IS A LEASE. ( NINE MONTHS LEFT TO PAY.) I WOULD LIKE TO GET HER OUT OF THIS CAR AND GET A NEW ONE. ANY SUGGESTIONS? THANK YOU MIKE.

CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS. THEY WERE MAKING SOUNDS. WAS TOLD BY WAPPINGERS FALLS TOYOTA PREVIOUSLY THAT THESE PARTS OR FINE AND IT WAS A NORMAL SOUND THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR,. I FINALLY TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE CORRECTING THE PROBLEM BY REPLACING LOWER CONTROL ARMS. HOWEVER I CANNOT UNDERSTAND I'M A CAR THIS NEW NEEDED TO BE BROUGHT IN TO HAVE CONTROL ARMS REPLACED. AT ONLY 40000 MILES.

POWER STEERING HARD WHEN I TURN ENGINE ON AFTER ABOUT TEN SECOND IS NORMAL

JERKING FRONT PRIOR PERHAPS TWICE ON THE DAY IN QUESTION I REVERSED TO GO IN A FRIEND HOUSE AND THE CAR WENT A FULL HALF CIRCLE AND END IN THE NEIGHBOR HOSE NEXT DOOR. MY CAR ENDED IN TO HER FENCE WHERE A SWING WAS THERE. DUE THE DEFECTIVE HER PROPERTY NEEDS TO BE FIX AS SOON AS POSSIBLE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO DICK DYER KILLIAN ROAD TODAY. I HAVE WITNESSES TO VERIFY HOW THE CAR DID A HALF MOON.

1. THIS FORM ASSUMES I OWN THE VEHICLE. A BETTER FORM SHOULD BE AVAILABLE WHERE I CAN REPORT ISSUES WITH OTHER VEHICLES. SO MOST OF INCIDENT DATA IS NOT RELEVANT IN THIS COMPLAINT. 2 ACTUAL COMPLAINT IS REGARDING 2015 AND NEWER TOYOTA COROLLAS. THEIR LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS ARE BLINDING AND A DANGER. A RECALL MUST BE ISSUED TO FIX THE LOW BEAMS

THE SEATBELTS LOCK UP AS SOON AS YOU TRY TO BUCKLE THEM. NEVER RELEASING. VERY DANGEROUS! ESPECIALLY FOR CHILDREN. THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAY WHETHER ONE-4- OR 5 OCCUPY THE SEATS. THE FLOORING ESPECIALLY ON THE DRIVERS SIDE IS RUINED. IT IS BECOMING A HUGE HOLE. VERY CHEAPLY MADE CARPETING. SEATS ARE HORRIBLY UNCOMFORTABLE. NEVER A RELIEF OF PAIN IN ANY. I AND MY FAMILY ALL ARE DISABLED. WITH BACK AND HIP DAMAGE. STEERING DOES AS IT CHOOSES RATHER THAN GOING IN THE DIRECTION YOU DRIVE IT. IT SWAYS CONSTANTLY. FINALLY. THERE IS NO WAY TO MAKE IT COMFORTABLE WITH THE AC OR HEATER ON WITHOUT A CONTESTANT BATTLE. IT IS CLAUSTROPHOBIC IN ANY SEAT. WHEN THE CAR WAS SOLD TO ME. I WAS DECEIVED AND LIED TO. I FOUND A CHUNK BEHIND THE HUB CAP ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO MISSING OUT OF THE WHEEL WELL. I HAVE HAD TO REFILL THE TIRES NUMEROUS TIMES. THIS CAR CAN BE PARKED, DRIVING, SITTING AT A LIGHT, DOESN'T MATTER. IT IS OFFENSIVE AND I WAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF. ESPECIALLY BY ONLY BEING GIVEN $750 FOR MY PONTIAC GRAND PRIX THAT STILL HAD A WONDERFUL MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION. I WAS TOLD BECAUSE IT HAD OVERHEATED SO BAD I HAD TO BUY A NEW CAR. I SIMPLY NO LONGER TRUST ENTERPRISE, AND I AM TERRIFIED BEHIND THE WHEEL WITH THESE SEAT BELTS. IT IS 5 OF A FAMILY OF 5 HAVING THESE ISSUES NOT JUST ME. PLEASE ADVISE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE WE BOUGHT THIS CAR, NOT TO MENTION THE CONSTANT HARASSMENT INVOLVED AND LACK OF PROFESSIONALISM WITH ENTERPRISE TO HANDLE THIS SALE PROPERLY. *TR
