2009 TOYOTA Corolla

I was taking stuff out of my trunk and it was windy and my trunk lid slammed on the back of my head. Huge bump on it and some blood.

Excessive oil consumption at 180000km. More than 1.5l/1000km

IT CONSUMES too much oil. about 1 quartz every 1200 miles.

The car was recalled due to oil consumption problem. The dealer had to replace gaskets and other parts due to excessive oil consumption. The \\\'check engine\\\' \\\'check oil\\\' \\\'emergency low oil\\\' lights NEVER came on EVER in the 10 years I\\\'ve owned this car. Some \\\'rod\\\' broke off in the engine, destroying the engine and now the engine needs to be replaced/repaired. I was told this part broke off because I was running the car without or low on oil. If I had no idea that the car was running low on oil due to this mechanical defect that they issued a recall on….how is this subsequent damage not covered?? I should not have to pay to have my engine repaired/replaced. Toyota knew about this oil consumption problem since 2011 and the first I ever heard of it was when they notified me in late 2016, early 2017 that I needed to bring it in for an oil consumption test. Toyota needs to take responsibility and fix this at their expense.

TRUNK RELEASE CABLE CONSISTENTLY FAILED DESPITE ATTEMPTS TO GET MATTER RESOLVED. SERVICE MANAGER REFUSED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO MEET ME. JUNE 2017 CAR STARTED MAKING A LOUD RATTLING NOISE ON TOP END OF ENGINE LASTING TWO TO THREE MINUTES AND FADE AWAY. THIS ONLY OCCURRED AFTER VEHICLE SAT FOR THREE TO FIVE HOURS. AT AROUND 70,000 MILES EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION NOTICED UPON CHECKING OIL LEVEL BETWEEN OIL CHANGE SERVICE. ONE QUART OF OIL CONSUMED EVERY 1,000 MILES TO 1,500 MILES. ELK GROVE TOYOTA WHERE ROUTINE SERVICE WORK HAS BEEN DONE; IGNORANTLY WAS ADVISED BY SERVICE ADVISOR THAT IT WAS A NORMAL OCCURRENCE FOR A CAR WITH 70,000 MILES TO CONSUME ONE QUART OF OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES TO 1,500 MILES. WHICH LEFT ME SURPRISINGLY SHOCKING GIVEN THIS WAS MY 4TH TOYOTA VEHICLE ALL OF WHICH I HAD DRIVEN OVER 200,000 MILES WITHOUT ADDING A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES.

In September of 2016, I had Toyota do an oil consumption test. I informed Toyota I would rather wait until I came back from a 1300 mile round trip to have test done, but the representative said that my scenario was perfect to have the test done. When I came back from the trip, they informed me that there had been no consumption of oil whatsoever. When I refuted that the test was done outside normal conditions, Toyota representatives told me that there should be no change in consumption regardless of the car being driven in the city or on the highway. They were very wrong.

In February, 2017, I attempted to have Toyota retest my oil consumption, this time under normal conditions during a scheduled oil change. Unfortunately, by this time, Toyota informed me that there was a loud rod knock presence. They told me that the cause was either due to low oil levels, excessive rpm\'s, or improper maintenance. Valley-Hi Toyota then informed me that I would need to fix the rod-knock before another oil consumption test could be done.

I waited around and kept driving, checking the oil level periodically every 300-500 miles. Hitting the 125,000 mark the engine began consuming close to a quart every 500 miles… Little did I know that the engine would begin consuming even more soon after the 130,000 mile mark. The one time I was in a rush, I drove the vehicle for 600 miles. I let the vehicle go unchecked for two fuel ups, was the time my vehicle began guzzling through nearly 2 quarts of oil every 300 miles.

Driving back from school on May 18, my engine gave out in the highway as I was coasting around 4k rpm\'s on an uphill. Suddenly, my oil level light came on, and no more than 2 seconds later, before I had time to evaluate the scenario, every light on the dash began flashing followed by a sudden loss of power.

I am now being quoted over $6,000 for a USED engine on my vehicle due to Toyota\'s negligence.

excessive oil consumption that has now led to engine needing to be rebuilt/replaced. A problem I had when i bought the car that was never resolved.Now suddenly i am out of warranty and they want to rebuild the engine that is burning out due to not enough oil in the car. yet they tell me that losing a quart of oil is normal..after several hundred miles and it needs to be 1.1 quarts to be a problem.

STARTED IN FEBRUARY 2016, INSIDE CAR I COULD NOT HEAR IT AT 1st. BUT IF MY WIFE WAS CLOSE BY SHE WOULD SIGNAL ME OF THE LOUD ENGINE NOISE & THAT;S WHEN I NOTICED IT. BUT IF MY WIFE WAS CLOSE BY SHE WOULD SIGNAL ME OF THE LOUD ENGINE NOISE & THATS WHEN I NOTICED IT. EVERY TIME WITH ENGINE COLD LOUD NOISE LIKE METAL-TO-METAL GRINDING. AT 1st THIS WOULD HAPPEN ONLY WHEN ENGINE WAS COLD. BUT NOW THIS GRINDING NOISE IS CONSTANT; COLD &/or WARM-HOT. JUST CHANGED OIL W/MOBIL 1 SYNTHETIC 5W-30 & 1 qt OF ENGINE ADDITIVE BUT NO DIFFERENCE AS OF 1 WEEK.

When trying to brake, car accelerates causing me to slide on snow. Trying to take control of vehicle from causing an accident. This happens every time I hit the brakes to stop gradually giving me little time to calculate when to stop causing to redirect vehicle spontaneously away to avoid any possible accident that could cause a serious injury. Missouri is not listed as one of the states pertaining to this recall regarding Toyota

car purchased on 10/23 from Toyota and was in a car accident on 11/1 due to car accelaration when foot was taken off gas. At time of braking the car hydroplane and it the guardrail. The airbag did not deploy. I also called the dealership on 11/6 to find out that there are two recalls on this particular vehicle that should have been satisfied before the car was sold. One of the recall pertains to accelaration. Why should I be penatlize for something that should have been taken care of by the dealer. Thank god no one died as now my car appears to be totaled.

I just found your site today. Dealer don’t find anything wrong. Said it’s a common issue. It steers/veer all over the road at highway speeds.

Subject: Complaint Mistreatment and Unethical Sales practices followed at Don Jacobs I bought my new Toyota Corolla (S) from Don Jacobs on April 24th 2008. When I bought the car I was not interested in buying the Extended Warranty (Additional) on top of the Factory Warranty. The Finance Person (Dave Gromowski) suggested me to buy, as the price will be covered as part of the Loan and if I change my mind later I can cancel the same. He mentioned that the Extended Warranty does not kick in until the Factory Warranty is in place; so I would have time to think and change it. But if I decide to buy it later then, I would have to pay the amount in Cash, by Check or by Credit Card. Based on what I was told, I bought the Extended Warranty / Service Contract for $920 plus Applicable Taxes when I bought the car. I was not satisfied as it was a lot of extra money; I called the dealership and asked them to cancel the extended warranty on my car (in 2 weeks from 04/24). I was told that I had to come to the dealership to sign some paperwork’s; in spite of telling them that I am working in Chicago and it is not possible for me to come. I asked them to Fax me the paperwork and I could sign and Fax the same and they mentioned it will not work this way and I have to come in to the dealership. So I had to take a day off to go to the dealership and then got my Extended Warranty cancelled on 05/27/2008. I got the paperwork from the dealership which mentioned the date I cancelled the Service Contract (05/27/08) and the Amount that I will be refunded ($920). I check for the Tax and was told it will be also credited back to my account by the Finance company (Toyota financial). I was surprised to find that I did not get the full amount refunded back. On calling Toyota Financials, I was informed that I will not get the full amount back. This was never informed when I bought my car, instead I was told something which is totally opposite of what the guy at Toyota Financials told me. As mentioned already I was told that I can cancel my extended warranty for a full refund, if I don’t like and then I don’t have to pay it from my pocket if I buy it with the car as it will go on the finance. I tried to go and speak to the finance guy and they told me that we must have given you a paper which mentioned the same. I have all the papers which I got from the date of sale and there is no document which states that I will not get a full refund. I took the whole packet to the dealership and when the finance guys could not find the same they suggested speaking to the manager. I denied the Service Contract when the Sales Guy offered me the same, so he did not get into any details of it. When the Finance Guy gave me the details mentioned above I bought the Service Contract and though I can cancel without loosing anything. But it seems they used the wrong means to get me to buy the Service Contract. The person who sold me the extended warranty used the wrong means to sell me the contract and misrepresented and misguided me in buying the same. The practice Don Jacob is following to sell such warranty is not just wrong but against the business practices. Not just that, when I went to cancel my Extended Service contract I asked what amount I would get back. The finance person did not speak the amount but said that whatever amount is on the cancellation notice you will get it back, plus tax. I still have the receipt of the extended warranty cancelation notice and it clearly has 920$ written for the refund amount. When I spoke to the Customer Service Manager (Carrie Karvonen) at Don Jacobs, she was rude in the first place and said now you have learnt your lesson and you will always know this for future. Is this the kind of customer service and customer satisfaction Toyota strives for and is this the kind of Standard and practices Toyota expects it dealers to follow. I was really surprised to hear what I was told by different people at the Toyota dealership (Don Jacobs). When they could not reply to something which they thought could get them into trouble they always referred me to the Manager, who was not present at the time or was busy with the customer and could not attend you for the next couple of hours. Not to forget if you want to buy a car you can speak to any manager in less than 5 minutes. Also not to mention I was surprised how a customer Relation Manager could speak to the Customer like that and mistreat the customers. She does not seem fit for the job or was carrying the stress from work or personal life to the dealership and taking it out on the customers. This will definitely affect customers confidence and trust in Toyota as a brand; I have already made up my mind never to go back to Don Jacobs again to buy any new car (may still go there for oil changes as long as they are free). Also to bring it to everyone’s attention, that is not the first car we have bought from Don Jacobs and this is not my first Toyota. We (Family) have bought about 4-5 more cars from the same dealership and in spite of telling them this they do not bother and hardly would value you as a customer. Carrie mentioned she does not care how good we were as a customer and there is no more discussing the fact that the money will not be refunded. Another instance which shows the exceptional service Don Jacobs is providing to the customers. My wife took the car for some warranty repairs like, fixing the cup holder and dash board compartment door. Initially she was told the part needs to be ordered which one of the persons from the Services requested. When she called to check about when the parts are going to arrive, she was told there is nothing on the system and that she would have to come in again and service will re-order the required parts. Then we were told that it is not covered as part of warranty and that we will have to pay for it. After discussing with the service manager they agreed to replace it at no cost (Not sure why those parts were not covered as part of the car warranty). I still could not understand that it is up to the dealership to decide what is covered and what is not covered as part of the company warranty. Generally those rules and guidelines should come from Toyota and dealer should only abide by those terms and rules. We dropped the car after the parts arrived and they replaced the required parts. When the car was dropped there were no scratches and when we picked it up the car, it had some scratches in the driver side. The Dealership does not do any inspection for scratches when you drop the car, which I have seen is been done by a lot of other dealers as a good practice to avoid conflicts and confusions. When we spoke to the Service Technician (Mark at don Jacobs) about the scratches he wasn’t sure how it got scratched. He then mentioned about getting it fixed. They did some buffing to try to fix it. It has not fixed the problem and the scratches are prominent and present.  I would like my complete Service Contract Amount credited back to my account with the applicable taxes. I would also need a written apology from Don Jacob and Carrie Karvonen on how their Customer Relations manager spoke and have them take care of the scratches.

I started experiencing brake pad issues first part of September.. I contacted the Toyota Dealeship, Albany califorini. Servicmen said my brake pads needed replacement. I mentioned to him about the recall that was indicated on the news to bring car in.. he told my vin number was on the list. so he could not fix it. Now they did oil and lube job 09/16/09.. my car started leading oil because the oil cab wasn;t on tight. the oil damaged the fan belt. my car over heat now they want to charge me for thefan belt. the customer service is awful

Takata recall- my car has been at toyota(i have a loaner) for over 2 months and a replacement airbag has not arrived at toyotal autoway pinellas park fl. for them to replace it. this is taking an exceptionally long time. please expedite. i want my car back and it to be a safe vehicle.

2009 toyota corolla car suddenly lurched*cw the consumer stated while pulling into a vacant parking space, the vehicle suddenly lurched forward at full throttle pushing him back into the seat from the sudden acceleration. even though, he tried to react quickly, the vehicle hit a curb then went over the curb and traveled 3 feet beyond before he was able to stop the vehicle by putting the gear into neutral and hard braking. the consumer exited the vehicle to check for damage, but there wasn't any. he noticed that the revved engine was idling at a normal speed. the consumer didn't believe what he experienced was an accelerator issue, rather a problem with the mpu and control circuit for the fuel and air mixture. *jb

Taking to long to fix problem with recall. i drive my grandkids around and due to the recalli am unable to take them anywhere, in fear of my granddaughter being killed by metal from an air bag.

Rumbling noise under the hood coming from the engine ,check engine light is on, at a slowing down speed the car starts vibrating and makes the rumbling noise under the hood!! unsafe to drive !! car went to the dealer williams honda - several times back to check the code and to fix the problems!! we had to bring this complaint with the management and better business bureau, we are requested a compensation from a dealer for selling unsafe vehicle to us, we complained about this whole matter in details to better business bureau, we requested a monetary compensation $500. we are requesting from new york state department of motor vehicles: to help and assist us to collect compensation of $500 from a dealer williams honda that is in elmira new york.

This car burns oil at a ridiculous rate.

While driving on a divided highway at approximately 65 miles per hour, i left the roadway and struck a steel guardrail. the impact totalled the car but did not result in the air bags deploying.

Takata inflators...notice received from toyota in may/june 2016 to replace passenger airbag. called today and found out they still don't have a replacement for my car. i am, however, to let no one sit in my front passenger seat, that is so unacceptable. i will have to tell all my passengers not to sit in the front and feel like a taxi driver. reading toyotas info on this recall, it states that the older cars in high temperature places are at of more high risk. i heard that honda has been replacing their faulted airbags in reasonable time. toyota told me they were working on their yaris and still haven't any information on when my call will be taken cared of, i don't think i should be driving such a dangerous car. i have been patient enough. *tr

Takata recall. we received a passenger side airbag recall (report date5/23/16) in mid july, 2016 ad took it to our toyota dealer july 25, 2016 for repair. we were told that since we were in zone a and that our card had been in florida for 4 months of every year, and also its age, we were a top priority for the airbag replacement. more that three months have passed. we followed up with the dealer and were advised that toyota have no idea when the replacements parts will be available for our car . we are aware that toyotas and other auto makes are being repaired and seek assistance in getting ours repaired.

I bought the car in 2008 and the following january 2009 i noticed burning smell from engine. my dad began checking oil and noticed i was out of oil well before my next oil change. went to lipton toyota endlessly over period of 6 years and would be told the oil consumption is normal, not a problem. in 2013 they said they found the problem and fixed it. all subsequent oil loss was normal. my engine light started to go on ..coils started misfiring but when i putin the oil it would clear out. toyota said not connected. they began another oil consumption test in september 2016 and now they are telling me that the engine needs to be fixed. still saying it's not related to excessive oil consumption.

Takata recall - it has been over 5 months since the recall. my honda civic (yr 2010) has already had the air bag replaced last month. it is ridiculous that i have to drive my toyota with no one in the passenger seat. when we go out with another couple, we have to always take their car. i call the toyota dealer and their corporation offices and they offer no information at all - unless you consider them saying they don't know how much longer it will take as information. this is so infuriating!!

Toyota' has notified that 2009 corolla has dangerous air bags and the vehicle is not to be driven until the airbags are repaired. toyota has offered a replacement vehicle until our car is fixed but demands that we surrender our car for storage. the dealer denies any responsibility for the storage of our vehicle and only offers outdoor storage for up to 6 months. we have only garage stored our vehicle and long term storage out door storage is unacceptable. the ft, myers toyota dealer refuses any type of liability waiver for garage storage of our vehicle. the demands of the toyota dealer are unacceptable and unnecessary. i would like to file a formal complaint against toyota that the recall and satisfaction of the air bag problem is unacceptable and the repair period of 2 to 6 months is ridiculous.

Takata recall the interim notice 16v-340 on the recall was received several months ago. as of october 31, the dealer is telling me that there is still no remedy for the recall, and that it will still take several more months. in the meantime, there is to be no one riding in the passenger seat. thus, the five passenger car i had bought is now, effectively, a four passenger car. my complaint is that they are unable to remedy this safety recall in a timely manner.

Takata recall - it's been months since i was notified of this recall and i've attempted multiple times to bring my vehicle in for a repair and have received no fixes at all (i was told to simply not let anyone sit in the front seat--not what i consider to be a reasonable fix). i want it fixed. it's not safe to drive with a passenger. it's simply unacceptable. i want a replacement vehicle; or, to have this fixed immediately.

I need a remedy for the recall on the airbags. i have tried to be patient about the temporary solution of "just don't have anyone ride in the passenger seat" but to have waiting 5 months and still have no solution is outrageous.

Takata recall: i received notice of the takata recall in march, at the latest, and followed their recommendation of not allowing someone to sit in the front passenger seat. however, with five family members, this is not a viable solution for my family. we cannot fit all of us, let alone guests, in the car and still avoid the recalled air bag. toyota has been good about issuing recalls and providing remedies within a month of the recall, but this has gone on long enough. the recall was issued in january, i received notice in march, and it is now mid-july, with no remedy forthcoming. i am frustrated that a solution has not yet been provided and sincerely hope that this issue will be dealt with before the month is out. *tr

Takata recall this is taking far too long to get replaced. toyota has informed me that they need to replace the air bag (which could kill me, i live in the south and it's the area most likely to have faulty airbags as i understand it). i understand the huge undertaking this airbag recall involves for all car companies including toyota but at what point will this faulty deadly equipment ever be replaced? a year? five? is there even a point if a recall takes so long the car dies of old age first?

Takata recall i was notified about my vehicle's airbag recall sometime in early january. it is now may 23, 2017 and they have yet to contact me about the remedy. it has been over five months and they have not concluded a fix to the airbags on my passenger side of the car. it is truthfully, unbelievable that they have yet to find a solution to this problem. it is extremely dangerous to put someone in my passenger side of my car and will not put their life at risk but five months is more than enough time to figure out a solution. i checked the website and it predicts that the remedy will be available in december of 2017. i think this is inexcusable to allow happen. granted, i do understand that it is not the drivers side airbag, but being a college student and having to transport people for my job, it puts them at risk. thank you for reading my concern.

On 21 october 2016 at approximately 9:30 am, i experienced a sudden unintended acceleration with my 2009 corolla. i was parking the car in the parking lot at the embassy suites hotel in norman, ok when the incident occurred. i reversed the vehicle to straighten it up in in a parking space; then, i put the transmission in drive to pull forward. as the car started to roll forward, in an instant, the vehicle's engine self -accelerated to full throttle. with my left foot on the foot rest pedal (dead pedal) and right foot fully depressed on the brake pedal, the abs braking system functioned properly making an audible clicking sound as the car continued darting forward at full throttle. with the vehicle at approximately a 30 degree angle to the curb in front of the parking space, the forward momentum of the vehicle with the abs braking system fully engaged, the driver's side front wheel bounced over the curb, the passenger's side front wheel stopped against the curb and the engine self-decelerated. as the engine decelerated, an audible clicking sound could be heard coming from the engine compartment that stopped as the engine returned to an idle. i have no explanation as to what caused the vehicle's engine to self-accelerate to full throttle, nor can i explain why it self-decelerated back to an idle. possibly, the vehicle hitting the curb with the driver's front wheel and bouncing over the curb could have caused the engine to self-decelerate. there was no personal injury or property damage involved in the incident. had a person been walking in front of my car in the parking lot during the sudden unintended acceleration event, they would have been seriously injured if not killed. the fowler toyota dealership of norman, ok evaluated the vehicle and concluded the incident was caused by misapplication of pedal. an edr was downloaded, evaluated and inconclusive.

Takata recall - i am submitting this to complain about toyota's lack of urgency to replace the front passenger airbag in my car. i received the notice from them about the recall in february of 2017 and up until now (almost 4 months later) i not received any further communication from toyota that they will be fixing the problem. i just called toyota and they informed me that my car will not be eligible to be fixed until december 2017. this is absolutely unexceptionable, inexcusable. i am now forced to drive around with a literal ticking time bomb that could go off at any time injuring or killing myself and/or anyone else who may be in my car. toyota's timeframe for repair shows their lack of concern towards their consumers. any help you can provide to get toyota to fix this problem with my car would be greatly appreciated.

Takata recall i first received the recall notice in may 2016. multiple calls to the augusta dealership throughout the summer since i needed my car to make long travels with my sister and young nieces - couldn't all fit in the backseat together. constantly just told they had no resolution yet. when asked what i should do, was just told to not have anyone in the front seat, even when i said that wasn't an option. co-worker with different make and model, but affected by same air bag recall had hers replaced within days last year. i *just now* got mail stating that they finally have a resolution. a full year after the initial recall and when other cars with the same issue were fixed is pretty unacceptable. especially since i live in the area that is most at risk with high humidity and temperatures.

I received a recall notice over 6 months ago. i contacted the toyota dealer in my area immediately. i was told that the parts were not available. i have called three times in the six month period and each time i have been told that the parts are not available. they also asked me if i purchased the car from them, which i did not. the dealer is grappone in concord nh. i have not been able to have anyone sit in the passenger seat of my car for the past 6 months. this is pure negligence on the part of either the dealer or toyota.

Takata recall over a month ago my wife received a letter from toyota stating that her vehicle was part of recall that involved the passenger side air bag. upon reading the letter it stated "until the remedy becomes available, we recommend that you do not operate the vehicle while with an occupant in the front passenger seat." that really sounds like a short term fix. so my wife called east coast toyota that day and explained to the dealer about the recall notice, they told her that a remedy was available and made a service appointment for 4/18/17 @ 12:30pm. when she arrived they said that there wasn't a fix and didn't offer an apology for the huge inconvenience. at the dealer she was told that a fix would be available in june 2017 and that she needed to call the 1800 number on the recall notice.. after hearing about her journey i was upset so i decided to call 1-888-270-9371. the rep julia lisa said that a remedy wouldn't be ready until december 2017. i also asked what toyota was offering its customers in the mean time because the short tiene fix was now a long term. she stated that we could ask the dealer for a "loaner car." we really need this car to transport our family around. please help.

When is there going to be a satisfactory solution to this airbag issue?????????????????????????????????????????? every time i call toyota i am told there is no remedy available. that is an unacceptable answer to a possibly deadly problem. this is my 4th toyota and will probably be my last. and if you can't fix it, how do you intend the compensate the owners of the vehicles with the recalled airbags? is there anybody home?

Takata recall. i have a 2009 corolla and was sent a letter saying that my passenger airbag was defective. i was informed not to drive with anyone in that seat until it is fixed. this is pretty much impossible for me with my family members. i called my closest toyota dealership and was told i would be given a call back on the status on the part that i would need. well i have not heard anything in 3 weeks and every time i have called again i get the run around. this is completely unacceptable. i cannot have a car that i can not drive my family in. i expect a resolution to my problem immediately.

Takata recall nhtsa recall no. 16v-340 & 17v-006. why does toyota issue an interim recall notice with no remedy available? i have a 5 passenger car that is now a 4 passenger car (really a 2 passenger car now b/c the back seat is so small) and i cannot carry my whole family in the car. this car no longer meets my requirements because of this recall and the inability to use the front seat. why can't toyota expedite the fix and/or disable the passenger airbag in the meantime? also, if my passenger airbag is made by takata and is affected by the recall, who is to say that my driver's side airbag is any safer? is the driver side airbag made by takata as well? has any investigation been done into the drivers's side airbag to clear it for use? what about the side curtain airbags? why would one side be safe to use and the other not be? can i safety operate my vehicle and depend on my airbag to save me in the event of a crash and not kill me instead? i'm not convinced. there are too many questions and virtually no answers in the recall notice. i expect a prompt, full, and complete remedy of this problem in a timely manner., or toyota is required by law to buy back, replace my vehicle, or offer me a rental for the duration of this recall. it has been over two weeks since i received the interim recall notice, and i expect to hear a response on availability of a fix more promptly than this. this is unacceptable!! toyota has known about this issue for over 2 years with their airbags now and only now am i receiving a notice that my vehicle is affected. what am i to do? sit here and wait another 2 years for a fix? how long will it be?

Takata recall it is unacceptable that there is currently no reasonable time frame for the takata recall to be remedied. it is unreasonable to expect no person to occupy the passenger seat in a 4 person vehicle. this requires a family of 4 to either drive 2 cars and waste money on gas or put themselves at risk by sitting in the passenger seat despite the danger. i am told that a solution is still approximately 9 months away. i have asked toyota to disable the airbag sensor in the seat until the remedy is available and they have refused for liability reasons. there was a time when we didn't have airbags and just used seat belts. why can't we treat this as such. it is not reasonable to expect families to restrain from using 1/4 of their car for potentially an entire year. there's not the option to sell the car because fair market value will not be obtained with such a recall. in short, i want my passenger airbag disabled until a remedy can be provided. this is the least toyota can do.

Takata recall. i have been under the takata recall since june of 2016 and i have been in a rental car provided by toyota since september 2016. it's been almost a year since the recall for my car has been issued and i haven't heard anything about a remedy for it. i'm hoping to hear something on whether or not it's going to be fixed anytime soon since i am still making payments on my car and would like to be able to drive it safely. i would also not like to be in a rental for another 6 months or longer waiting on this recall.

Takata recall i have been fortunate enough not to have an actual "incident", but i am still going to file the complaint on the length of time this recall on the airbag is taking to resolve. i cannot have a passenger due to this and it is extremely inconvenient. i am a single mother and need my vehicle to be in top shape for me and my child. no remedy for 10 months is ridiculous.

No one call tells us when this can be fixed and it's affecting my commute.

(defect waterpump) my waterpump went had a hairline crack.. the macanic says the old waterpump molding was off and was too thin around where it connects to the engine.

I was driving with 30 mile/hour on the anderson mill road, austin, texas. all of sudden, the steering wheel became very heavy, just like steering was locked. it's so difficult to change direction. in this situation, i almost hit another car when i tried to find place to park. this situation may last several minutes, and become normal. i drove my car to the toyota center, the technician took few hours to check, but nothing they found. right now, i am so afraid of driving.

I received a recall notice months/years ago about the death hazard with these airbags and now i am seeing all over the news that this should have been handled a long time ago and it is recommended that i get it fixed asap, but toyota says they don't have a fix for it yet. unacceptable!

Takata recall. i was notified that my airbags are defective. i have contacted my local dealer and the airbag replacement date has not yet been assigned. i am 89 years old and leery about driving this vehicle and will not take a passenger in the front passenger seat. i first heard about this last year and have been waiting for word on the replacement airbags. i have been in touch with my local toyota dealer and they advised me that they do not have a replacement date scheduled for my vehicle. this repair needs to be completed asap.

Takata recall: no accident as yet, but fearful to have passengers in my car until the airbags are fixed. i am a senior caregiver, car paid for, low mileage. i need the car to transport my husband to appts and clinics and now worry about safety. my vin # is on the matched list and i live in a hot, humid climate.

So on the driver's side of the car the air bag light is always on even when the car isn't on. i went to the toyota dealership and stated the problem that i had and they insisted that i had to pay, when i got a letter from toyota remedy notice stating that stye can cover for fixing the air bag light. i have the letter with me directly from toyota. so i don't understand why i have to pay for it when i go to the dealership. this absolutely makes no sense and i feel like they are purposely trying to make money off of me. when i have a letter from toyota stating they can pay for the damage.

Takata recall i was advised in january not to drive our car due to a recall of the airbags and the potential for death from them deploying. (nhsta recall number 17v006) it has now been 7 months without a remedy. this is my family's only vehicle and we must use it for daily living needs. we fear daily that the airbags will endanger myself, my wife, or our children and we do not have the wealth or luxury to buy another car or use a taxi for all our daily living needs. we are requesting that a remedy be forced immediately upon the manufacturer even if it is simply a removal of the airbags and propellant. lethal airbags are a greater hazard than use of seatbelts in a car with no airbags at all. please offer a solution immediately or inform us of how the manufacturer will pay for a replacement car that can be safely used or be held liable for the cost of the current car toward a safe replacement vehicle.

Immediately following a cold soak startup my 2009 toyota corolla makes a very loud rattle noise within the engine compartment for approximately 1-2 seconds. it will consistently do this upon cold startup, and is a known defect within the camshaft timing gear assembly of the vehicle. please see attached documentation for more details, including the $896 repair quoted from the dealer (page 2). it is my understanding that this issue can eventually lead to more serious issues with the engine, and i think it is a shame that the dealer did not catch this earlier/ is now quoting such a high price for repair. it is my hope that something can be done to make toyota better respect it's customer's satisfactions/safety, and take care of this known issue at no cost to it's customers.

Takata recall: i have been waiting over a year for a notice of a solution for my car.

Takata recall: after waiting about 6 months, there is no fix available for the airbag recall in my corolla. i have not used the passenger seat since becoming aware of the recall to ensure the safety of my family. i am due to have our second baby in a matter of months, and when i have 2 car seats in the back, i will be unable to transport my family of 4 safely. my vehicle is the primary vehicle in my family. being unable to transport my family in one car is unacceptable. it is also unacceptable to not know whether the problem will be remedied before the arrival of my baby. my car will not be able to meet the needs of my family, and i am not financially able to purchase a different car because of this. please remedy my car as soon as possible. this must be taken care of in the fall, before my car becomes a major issue for my family. the unknown of how to transport my family in the near future is becoming a major source of stress and will become a major financial burden if it is not remedied by the winter.

Takata recall - was notified in january 2017 by toyota that there is a recall on my vehicle. to date, there is no remedy yet. they recommend not putting anyone in front passenger seat. i have 5 people (including myself) i am required to transport in my vehicle. they should provide a suitable replacement vehicle for me to use free to meet my purpose for buying the car, until they find a remedy.

This car is my mothers car. she is unable to drive. my sister moved here to care for her. she has stage 4 lung cancer. my sister drives her to all her appointments for chemo, tests, etc. this is the only vehicle my mother can get into. this is causing a serious issue in transporting her. so far we are bing told there is no fix to the airbag situation. your recall # 17v006. man recall # g1r. we understand the time it takes to get a solution but she received the recall over a year ago and still shes sitting in the back seat. my sister has to make the choice of sitting my elderly mother or one of her children in front of that airbag or pay a babysitter. this is not fair to either my sister or mother under the undue expenses of my mothers illness.

We were driving on a highway while we heard some noise came from the front of our car. we thought we hit some metal, so we slowed down and changed to the slow lane, then the car started slowing down by itself, and the steering wheel couldn't move freely. we pulled over, opened the front, and saw some smoke and some liquid fell down. we spent $300 for towing our car to the toyota dealership where we bought our car from. and we were told that it is the water pump pulley failed that cause the drive belt broke and engine overheated...i was informed that the repair will cause about $4000 for a second-hand engine!! our 2009 toyota corolla was bought new in november, 2008 and only has 68000 miles on it. we just did the oil change at the dealership 5 days after this happen! now the car is sitting at the parking lot of the dealership, we contacted the service manager on the dealership as well as toyota customer experience but have not receive a positive respond yet. they keep telling me that it pass the warranty, however, when i did the research online and found out that not only me has this problem, there are 35 more complain on record about the water pump failure. i believe toyota should do a recall on the water pump and responsible for the repair.

Recall for the takata air bag was sent to me on june 9, 2016 by toyota, but dealers in miami, fl do not have the part to replace as of yet. it is now more than 2 months since this letter went out and no action by dealers has been presented. i am worried about the potential problems with this airbag.

Engine hard starts - no starts - or extended starts. problem is random occurring 2 to 3 times a week. happens whether engine is warm or cold. this problem has been going on for 2 years now. toyota can not find a problem with the car.

Takata recall: there is still no remedy for the airbag recall on my car. may to august (3 months) is an unreasonable amount of time to have not fixed this safety issue. the toyota corolla is our family car, and the other vehicle we have is my husband's work truck that is full of equipment. i'm involved in a work 70-80 hours a month that requires me to occasionally transport 1 to 4 other passengers. it was stated in the recall notice that other transportation options are available, but there were no details about how to take advantage of this. i would like to be contacted about my options in this area.

Unfortunately i don't have my vin handy for this email. my vehicle is under recall for the takata air bag. currently it is at the dealer for repair. toyota corp. has informed me that repair may not be complete until possibly december 2017. they have provided me a loaner. unfortunately, though i am hesitant to have someone else's vehicle for 9 months and having be responsible for it. in addition my car will be at the dealership laying idle for 9 months which is not good for the car. i have made contact again with toyota corp. to buy the car back, but they are refusing. i explained to them that i am under the understanding that repairs to the vehicle have to be made within a reasonable time, and 9 months is not reasonable. is there any recommendation you may have for me moving forward or is there any recourse of action i may have.

Ummary: the subject vehicles are equipped with front passenger airbag inflators produced by takata. according to takata, the propellant in these inflators may degrade after prolonged exposure to high absolute humidity and fluctuating high temperatures. degraded propellant can cause inflator rupture during airbag deployment. safety risk: in the event of an inflator rupture, metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material, striking the vehicle occupants, and result in serious injury or death. remedy: toyota is currently preparing the remedy for this condition and will provide additional information as it becomes available. the remedy, when available, will consist of the replacement of the airbag inflator or the airbag assembly, depending on the vehicle model. recall status: recall incomplete. remedy not yet available

"takata recall" original notice in 7/20/16. visited local dealer twice in august. no parts in yet. recently visited on 2/28/17. still no parts in yet. i live in florida which is in the high priority zone. please, help. thank you.

Takata recall - i have not experience an incident, rather, my complaint is that toyota has no estimated date for when the passenger side airbag will be replaced and i will be unable to allow a passenger to sit in the front passenger seat until that is resolved. at the very least i would like to know that these recalls are being expedited and have an estimated time frame when my corolla will be safely fully functional.

Takata recall - the remedy to correct the air bag defect for the toyota corolla 2009 is not within a reasonable time. it's been 9 months and no remedy is available as yet. i need the passenger front seat of my car for my family and it's been a hardship. i certainly won't let anyone sit in that seat for fear they could die. this is just not acceptable. 9 months is too long for a remedy to a dangerous defect. please help!

Taka take recall the recall for the airbag in my vehicle was issued may 23, 2016. it has been nearly nine months with further contact from toyota motors. i would like to know the status of this replacement process. the safety of occupants in my vehicle is greatly threaten by these delays. please help with increasing the speed of this process. thank you, jeremy

What is considered "a timely manner"? i've asked toyota if they could just remove the defective airbag. they said yes, but at my expense. i'm driving around in a car that could explode and kill one of my passengers. there must be something they can do until a remedy is ready.

After decelerating into a left hand turn there is hesitation of up to 3 seconds or more after depressing the gas pedal down to accelerate again . only happens on left turns. this is an automatic transmission on a 1.8 l 4 cylinder 2009 toyota corolla. this is a recurring problem that seems to be getting worse. car only has 31k miles- mostly city driving - i'm retired / don't drive much.

Vehicles with delco ecm have a common issue where the fuel injectors leak into the cylinder causing engine to loose compression. the lowered compression causes hard start (if able to start at all) and if and when it starts the vehicle emits a cloud of white smoke for several minutes. when vehicle is in drive the engine idles hunts constantly. engine stalls while driving making braking and steering very difficult and dangerous. ecm has been replaced but unfortunately the damage is done to the engine and needs a rebuild. multiple vehicles have reported this issue from 2009 - 2013 toyota corolla ranging from 100 miles - 179,000 miles. it doesn't seem to have any different effect with mileage or maintenance. *tr

Takata recall. the recall letter states "do not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat." my husband and i are retired with only one car--the 2009 corolla, which is under a recall with the dire warning to not have anyone sit in the passenger seat. i called the dealer and was told that it would be okay to sit in the front passenger seat as long as the weather was not hot. i then called the toyota main customer service dept and was told to not sit in the front seat or everyone in the car could be injured or killed. there is no estimate for when a repair will be done and was also told that there is no solution for the repair. so we will be forced to use the difficult to enter back seat, not have anyone else in the car with us, and generally limit our car usage until the repair is made. even if we opted to sell the car and buy another, the knowledge of the recall impairs the price we would receive for the corolla. this is totally an unfair situation which we did not cause through any negligence of our own.

Takata recall toyota is too slow to come up with a remedy for the takata defect. they have had plenty of time since may 23, 2016, but so far have done nothing to give us, the owners of these defective airbags, any piece of mind with a solution to the problem that could kill us.

Air bags did not deploy in a head on hit!! doing around 40 mph. hit a bridge rail. country road.

I've had everything fixed on my 2009 corolla regarding the steering, thinkin it was the alignment ,tires,balancing,brakes ,spent alotta money at my mechanic.. turns out its the steering control unit. at highway speeds my car wanders very bad and i'm afraid ill hit another car.even changing lanes my car trouble sometimes and it is a safety issue. my mechanic and tire guys said this is not safe to drive.. i will be writing toyota and takin my car in to see if the cost my car is covered or not. toyota was investigaged but noting and were later sured over this issue. toyota shoud be ashamed for knowing about this issue and refuseing to cover the costs.

Takata recall. i received notification recently via mail of a recall on my vehicle. i was informed that this recall is for the passenger side airbag, manufactured by takata. my complaint is that the "remedy" is for me to not have any passengers in my front passenger seat until the "second phase" of the recall takes place but they cannot tell me when that might be. what kind of remedy is this? i can't drive anyone anywhere unless i make them sit in the backseat like a taxi. also, this decreases the number of people i can have in my car. i want them to fix the problem. at the very least, tell me when they will fix the problem. i am unhappy with their solution to the issue.

Takata recall why is this taking so long?!!!!

"takata recall" i received an interim notice dated june 9, 2016. nhtsa recall no. 16v-340. the front of the envelope says takata front passanger airbag inflator (zone a). i received the notice on august 2, 2016. i have not received any other notice to get a repair of the vehicle. i want to know much longer do i have to wait?

Takata recall i received a communication from toyota dated 6/9/16 in regard to a defect in my car of the front passenger seat airbag. they were supposed to tell me when to take the car to make the correction. they recommended not to use that seat; i've been following instructions; the problem is that my car is a family car & we can't travel together. i've made several calls to toyota puerto rico because i have the front seat of my car disabled for the past seven months. every time i call they tell me a different reason: 1)" we haven't received the parts for correction", 2) " we are expecting the parts for next month", 3) " we are expecting the parts for the end of the month". on 1/12/17 i went personally to toyota autocentro for the status of this recall. they gave me the toyota usa call center number; but that phone number answers from pr. i need the toyota to respond for this situation and if they can't make the correction; they should provide a vehicle so i can move my whole family i think i have been patient enough and i feel they aren't doing anything to solve the situation. i will appreciate your involvement in the solution of this problem.

Takada recall. it is unacceptable that at this point it had been years since i received a recall notice and there are still not parts available to replace my passenger airbag. i am expecting another child and will have no choice but to but a passenger in the front passenger seat. why is toyota nothe being required to replace these airbags more quickl?

Takata recall the company car inspection is due january 2017, the 2009 corolla is used by the company to do jobs and is really needed. according to my mechanic, i can not pass inspection with the airbag light on the panel on, so i would like to know what is the best solution for this case. the company needs to use the car to work. thank you! hope to see a answer soon. *tr

My 17 year old daughter got into a car accident on 01/27/2021, she pressed on the brakes but they did not engage causing her to hit another vehicle on a neighborhood side street

My car is a manual. i was driving about 25mph when in between 3rd and 4th the car engine revved up to about 5k or 6k rpm. i tried to just hit the gas but it wouldn't go back down. i did not release the clutch. i had to turn the car off and restart it so it wouldn't do that again. it happened again after that and i did the same thing by restarting it. i noticed a different pressure in the gas pedal with my foot during this occurrence. after the second time, it did not occur again. this is the second time this has happend. it happened about 10,000miles before. this happened at about 101,500miles.

I was driving on the highway merging onto rt3 from i-95-s towards cape cod by south quincy area. the car in front of me stopped suddenly and i slammed on my breaks, the car behind me ended up rear-ending my car which resulted in me hitting my head on my heat rest which resulted in whiplash. the woman who hit me claimed she called the police and said that the cop told her we need to exchange licenses and registrations. we did exactly that but not phone number or anything. after we exchanged, she took off right away. the car that stopped in front of me left the scene right away. this was my first accident so i did not know what to do but now i am realizing that she may never have called the police considering that no one showed up and this happened on the highway.

Takata recall i received a notice in the beginning of june saying that their is a problem with the air bag and to not have anyone sit in the passenger side. the notice said that they will send more information once the part is ready. for the last 6 months i have been trying to use my car less, but there are times when as a family of four, we have no choice but to have someone sitting in the passenger side. finally here we are in january and i contacted a dealer asking what is the status of the recall and when i can expect it to be fixed. i was told by the dealer, they have no idea what toyota is going to be doing about this recall. i asked what am i suppose to do in the meantime? i was told i could rent a car! really?! and who would pay for that? me of course. i'm so disappointed in toyota they i have had 6 recalls on my car, and they have taken care of it in a timely manner, but this one that can cause an airbag to be deadly, they are taking their time. how long am i suppose to wait? this is terrible, and shows toyota doesn't care about the well being of their customers. when will toyota be forced to handle this?

Takata recall- it is unacceptable that i have not been able to get my airbag replaced in the 9 months since my vehicle was included in this recall. i have avoided having any passengers in my car, basically only risking my own safety rather than my loved ones. i should be able to drive the car i spent a lot of money on without worrying about my safety! i thought i was included in the "top priority" set of vehicles to be fixed, but i am still being told there is no remedy available. what is the process to get this fixed asap. i want to be able to safely drive the car i paid good money for. *tr

Takata airbag: this recall was announced in may and toyota still has not come up with a fix for it -- all they say is to "avoid operating the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat," which is ridiculous long term. please tell me what to do to get this replaced

Takata recall. it's been months since they informed of us this issue and there is still no remedy. i was told to avoid people sitting in my passenger seat, i cannot do that indefinitely. i already basically have a lemon sold to me and now there is no fix available.

Takata recall. we received the recall notice and were told that we would be put on a waiting list for the repair. it has been 4 months and when we called today, were told that they haven't received any parts from toyota at all and that there are still 8 pages of names ahead of us. meanwhile, someone usually has to ride in the passenger front seat. maybe the toyota company thinks it is just cheaper to ignore the recalls and pay the law suite when someone gets killed.

Takata recall notified in may 2016 and was told by dealer that the parts are not yet available 7 mos after notification.

Takata recall in may told not to use front passenger seat, making the car unsuitable for our use. it appears toyota is not willing to help with this problem

Takata recall. i called my local toyota dealership, hansel toyota, and asked when the recalled part might be replaced. i was told possibly december or spring of 2017 and they were sorry for the inconvenience. i called again today and was told the supervisor was telling the agent i was speaking with that it might be fixed by spring or summer of 2017. i then called toyota customer experience center and was told they would not give a date until the parts are ready. i expressed my frustration at not being able to ride with a front seat passenger for the last 6-7 months. the agent told me he was in the same position i was. if this does not get fixed until summe of 2017, i will have been unable to use my front passenger seat for over one year. this also concerns me as to why the recall only applies to the passenger seat. this has been a huge worry that the airbag will deploy and injure my vehicles occupants, but this is the only vehicle i own.

We were issued a recall notice may 23 2016 and have not received any further notice made a repair appointment after calling and service said they could take care of it. when dropping off the car was told they did not have the part so they could not fix the car.

I was driving my toyota corolla during the day and went to make a right turn into a parking space and suddenly the steering wheel locked. i just barely could turn into the parking space i was turning into and my car was sideways. my car was still running. i didn't know what was going on with it. i turned the car off and went into the pharmacy. when i came out and went to start my car, it wouldn't start. i had to call aaa for a jump start and even after the jump start, the steering wheel was still locked but the car was running. i was able to turn it enough to make it home because it was a straight ride home and half way home the steering wheel all of a sudden unlocked on it's own. now i'm scared that this will happen while i'm on the highway or in alot of traffic and i'll be in an accident and kiiled or hurt someone else.

Takata recall no. 16v-340 no use of my front passenger seat for over 6 months!!!!! no remedy available!!!!!

Takata recall (16v-340) was issued on may 23, 2016, but toyota dealers still do not have parts to correct this issue, more than six months after the recall's release. i live in south texas (zone a) which is part of the region that is most at risk for this failure.

The break stopped working. i had almost gotten into a car accident. fortunately, i hit a close donation metal container and was able to stop the car. i have my car checked out by a mechanic and the issue is not related to break pads and/or rotor. it is a due to a manufacturing related issue; hydraulic:power assist:vacuum. i have stopped driving the vehicle and i would like to get it towed for a recall service to darcars toyota dealer in silver spring md where i bought the car. this model and year is under recall for breaks but not in the state of md or dc. you can reach me at (240) 460-2960 or [email protected]

2009 corolla le - incident on ohio turnpike on 9/27/20. 3 lane highway. driver in the middle lane saw a deer ahead in the right lane moving towards median. driver swerved to the left to avoid hitting the deer and, in a process, hit the median concrete barrier. vehicle smashed full force into concrete barrier, bounced off, spun and ended on the right side on the right shoulder. vehicle completely destroyed. it was a high speed full force impact with median to evade hitting deer, vehicle totaled/ not reparable. none of the air bags got deployed and they should.the entire front, including cracked windshield with glass particles falling onto the dashboard and the drivers hands holding steering wheel. major damage on the drivers side as well as on the back corner of the vehicle @ the drivers's side. driver got worse injuries than he would if bags.deployed as they were supposed to. driver had the glass dust particles and bits from the shattered windshield all over him and embedded in his hands..please investigate. i want to prevent someone elsewhere from getting injured due to this issue. i am sure this is not the only 2009 corolla with this issue. it is a shame for the toyota brand to allow the main safety feature (and the important selling point for their brand) to malfunction. thank you

2009 corolla is drifting left and right on the highway. some vibration. recently had new tires and wheel alignment and still very unstable, feels like driving a boat and can move left or right at any time. it has electronic power steering not hydrologic. i'm the second owner of this vehicle and have the maintenance records. the alternator was replaced twice on car which is unusual. any recall of the electrical rack and pinion for this vehicle? my mechanic did not know how to fix besides replacing the whole rack and pinion system.

My car has 91,414 miles and has had multiple cylinder misfires with my normal daily commute of six miles each way. in three years on a 4 cylinder engine i have had three ignition coils replaced, twice within two and a half years and 10,468 miles on the #2 coil. all repairs have been completed by toyota certified repair facilities with toyota oem parts. this is not normal for a low mileage vehicle maintained with regular service.

There was a recall on the passenger side airbag of my vehicle which toyota fixed. while the technician was fixing my passenger side airbag they discovered that my driver side airbag had been deactivated. i contacted toyota about the problem after reading about a recall which electrical connections to a spiral cable assembly can be damaged when the steering wheel is turned. which could lead to the driver’s airbag to being deactivated, and failing to deploy in a crash. i was told they would not fix the problem.

I have a toyota corolla 2009s it was part of the original takata airbag recall that original remedy was completed in 2017. since that day i have taken the vehicle back to the dealership multiple times and concerns with a foul odor coming from the glove compartment. i have been contacted by the dealership via email saying that i need to bring it back in the airbags are being recalled that were used to replace the original recall. once i get to the dealership they say my vin number has not hit in hsta‘s website so i’ll just have to wait which could be up to a year. they have indicated multiple times that my vehicle is going to be recalled it’s just a matter of time in the meantime i’m left to drive a car that is a public safety for myself and others knowing that the air bag to deploy at anytime. he informed me the vehicles in florida recalls will be repaired first due to the heat and then they’ll move their way up to zombie in the meantime i am without a vehicle and it’s too dangerous for myself and others to drive they failed to work with me.

My car was running fine until recently, when i had a few services done at the dealership: brake fluid, transmission drain/fill, oil change, and fuel injection service (this last item i did not ask for or approve beforehand). a couple days later, my car began stalling when i was driving (while coming to a stop/ not pushing the accelerator). no cel / overheating/ low oil issues- always regular maintenance. took it back to the dealer, they said the engine had low compression and they suspected a cracked engine block. they also checked to see to see if my ecm was updated. that was all they said after being there 5 hours. i had to leave for work, brought it back a few days later, they said they didn’t have time to look at it without an appointment. a few days later, my car wouldn’t start at all. took it back in, they said they didn’t know why it had low compression/ stalling/ not starting because no oil or coolant leaks or mixing, no overheating, etc. told me the only option is to replace engine. (cost of tearing engine apart to find crack or cracked gasket not worth cost in labor because of car’s age/ mileage- 2009 corolla, around 176k). how is this even possible? i suspect that something was not done correctly during a recent service, or maybe they did not update/flash my ecm correctly. of course, they are not claiming any responsibility. very frustrating. the dealership manager did offer me a discount on the used engine repairs, but this seems like either manufacturer error or technician error.

The manufacturer's supplied car tire jack does not safely engage its center notch to the ( "pinch welded" metal sheets edge ) designated jack point positions ( for the four wheel locations) as indicated in the owners manual. only " one side", the inner half of the jack, makes contact with the vehicle, thus making lifting the car very unstable and unsafe. in other words, the notch of the supplied tire jack does not even make contact with the jack point. i am afraid this could cause the car to fall off the jack while it is being lifted to change a flat tire with the spare tire. ( i have tried to lift my car with the jack at all four corners, and the supplied jack's center notch did not even contact the jack point, but instead left indentations of the inner half of the jack's "saddle" on my car's underbody. in addition, i have read complaints (online) of 2009 toyota corolla owners whose car actually fell of the jack when it was being used to lift/support the vehicle. i assume this is a potential danger to subsequent owners of later corolla model years of the same design platform (2009 to 2013) if toyota has not already supplied new vehicles with an appropriately-designed tire jack or otherwise made it safer to lift the car with the jack. note that i lifted my vehicle on a flat, hard concrete garage floor. in addition, i believe i've filed a complaint with toyota several years ago; i called their customer service number, and they documented my concerns. toyota has not responded to me since. thank you for your attention to this matter.

In a frontal crash the passenger side curtain airbags were deployed and the roof handle was ejected from its base like a projectile and hit the driver head with great force .

At highway speed car wanders across lanes. experienced complete loss of power steering while driving down side street.

I do believe the engine is faulty, since i’ve had my corolla it’s always used sooo much oil and it’s not leaking a drip. i have several coworkers that have a corolla s and they have the same problem. it’s gotten worse to we’re it used to much oil it was below the dip stick and before i could catch it, it has messed my motor up. my car still runs but has a very loud rattle in the motor now when it starts because of the oil consumption.

I own a 2009 toyota corolla le 1.8 that has defective piston rings which causes the engine to consume excessive oil and it has caused two of the engine cylinders to malfunction. i have read many complaints in the internet of toyota corolla owners who own the same type of vehicle as mine years 2009-2011. they as well as myself have reported this issue to toyota u.s.a. without getting any satisfying answer from toyota. a toyota representative contacted me today and told me that they do not recall vehicles for repairs unless they receive an order from the nhtsa. my auto mechanic told me that he has received many 2009-2011 toyota corolla customers who have come to his shop to have their engines on their toyota corollas replaced or rebuilt to correct the factory defect of the piston rings on their toyota corollas 2009-2011. i researched in the internet and found out that that many toyota corolla owners are dealing with the same problem with their cars' engines due to the toyota factory defect of the piston rings in their toyota corolla models 2009-2011 and i even read some complaints of 2014, 2015 and 2016 toyota corolla owners. i would like for your agency to pay attention to complaints similar to mine of other toyota corolla owners. i am surprised that there hasn't been a recall issued to correct the factory defect of the piston rings of toyota corollas of years 2009-2011 and other years after those. my car has been driven 137,250 miles and i had kept the maintenance up to date. thank you for your help and i hope something is done by your agency to resolve this matter.

My engine light comes on, vsc keeps blinking

Takata inflators

I was involved in a rollover crash and not a single airbag deployed. i honestly think it’s a defect from all the issues that toyota has had with airbags. i was ran off the road going around a curve and i hit a ditch and my car flipped end over end. the front of my car was severely damaged, i was going about 50mph, every air bag should have deployed.

All dashboards came on and the vehicle stalled. also when pressing the brake or putting any load on the electrical system the vehicle starts stalling. it is not consistent and can't be repeated consistently.

My 2009 toyota corolla has the same problem as the recall on 2009 camry. extreme use of oil. when the time for my 5000-mile oil change my mechanic told me there were less than 2 qts left in the crankcase. since that oil change, the car has used 1 qt in 2000 miles. i visited the poway, ca. toyota dealership but since there was no recall on corollas they would not even discuss repairs with no charges. how can it be fair that one vehicle the camry is covered with a recall and another model the owners must pay for the repairs of the same problem the camry had but with a recall didn't have to pay anything.

One month after buying my car from another consumer, i noticed the oil was low. i filled full the first day i got it and had not put any serious mileage on it. two weeks later i start to hear this ticking noise and realized the oil filter needed changed the prior week. changed it. nothing happened. this ticking occurs on start up, gets louder with the rpm, and vibrates the entire car at stops. took my car to toyota the next month thinking it was the accelerator belt or the connection rod bearing plate. they had me pay pay 120$ to take off the valve hood only to tell me i needed a new engine and there was nothing they could do. i did a bunch of research after this and hundreds of consumers have complained about the overconsumption of oil from this year’s model leading to the failure of many engines. toyota still hasn’t admitted fault for this and there has not been a recall when there should be. this is supposed to be an “honest, reliable” company but if they expect consumers to pay 2 to 6 thousand dollars for a new engine that was their fault...i will not support them through buying their products again. frankly it’s sickening to read that after 10 years they won’t be on the hook for this faulty product’s design. while i understand those were tough times, we are still feeling the 2008 recession through this faulty product and a company that does not hold up to their name.

Tl* takata recall. the contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. the contact stated that the recall notice for nhtsa campaign number: 18v024000 (air bags) was received in january of 2018. after contacting the local dealer (john jacobs toyota in milwaukee, wi), the contact was informed that the parts needed to repair the recall were not available. the manufacturer was not notified. the contact had not experienced a failure. parts distribution disconnect.

I bought my car in november of 2012 with about 70,000 miles and quickly noticed it burned a lot of oil. shortly after that i received a notice from toyota admitting they had a problem with these engines burning oil. they told me to have my car tested at the dealership. i had the car tested and to my surprise it passed the test. the dealership told me to take the test again after 1 year. the next time i tested the car it failed the oil consumption test by a large margin. toyota refused to now repair the car because i had reached 151,000 miles and the warranty expired at 150,000 miles. toyota knew all along that the car had oil consumption problems and now they refuse to stand by their product. everywhere i drive the car now i have to carry extra oil with and on long trips its a real issue. there is no excuse for that and we pay a lot of money for these cars. i'm very disappointed in toyota for not standing by their product.

My 2009 toyota corolla has had an excessive amount of oil consumption due to toyota putting in defected piston and piston rings. this defect can cause engine damage or engine failure resulting in having to replace the entire engine. these other models may also be affected: toyota camry 2007-2011 toyota camry hybrid 2007-20011 toyota corolla 2009 toyota matrix 2009 toyota rav4 toyota solara 2007, 2008 scion xb 2008 2009 scion tc 2007-2009

Air bags never went off

At random times the car begins to accelerate on its own with no interference to the pedal. it will keep accelerating until i hit the pedal and pull up on the pedal with my foot. in neutral the engine will rev up to over 6,000 rpm and continue going up. this happens while driving a normal speed and is random.

Takata recall - i have contacted 2 different dealers in my area to complete this recall, one in january 2018 and one in february 2018. both dealers said it would take 3 days for the part to come in. when i followed up with them over a week later, they said they still has not received the part. i have never heard back from either dealer and it's now may 2018. we've received several notices regarding this recall for over a year, but can't seem to get anyone to actually fix it.

2009 toyota corolla. consumer writes in regards to unintended acceleration while driving. *ld *js

Back in january, 2018 my engine would knock when i started the car. took the car for it's scheduled oil change only to find out that there was only a quart of oil that drained. my oil light never came on. needless to say the engine continued to consume oil. took the car to my mechanic and was informed that my engine needed to either be replaced or rebuilt. i opted to have it rebuilt. i paid $4000 dollars for this. got the car back and drove for a couple of days and checked my oil only to find it was down 1 1/2 quarts of oil after only 2 days of driving on basically a brand new motor. i'm still making payments on my vehicle and have fallen behind several times to make repairs to my vehicle. so far in the two years i've owned this car i've had to replace the fuel pump/filter, water pump x2, front wheel bearings, timing chain tensioner, spark plugs x4. this is getting really expensive. the dealership i purchased the vehicle from refused to even look at the vehicle a week later when i complained about it misfiring.

The rubber seal from the wind sheald is flying off also the back window same problem.

My 2009 toyota corolla has over heat problem so i take it to mechanic and they found water pump issue, i replace it. problem still continue and take it to dealer place and they diagnostic vehicle and came up with few problem which cost me $1187, after they fixed they further diagnostic and said engine needs to be replace and they also said transition could failure down the road and they estimate me another $4500 to replace engine from different car which is has 75000 miles on it.

Airbag recall

Most pronounced at highway speeds the car will intermittently not go straight. it feels like a notch both to the left and right of center. it takes both hands to fight the wheel to make it go somewhat straight. pulling the steering wheel out of one of these notches at 65 mph makes the car veer a few feet or more in the other direction of the notch. this is very dangerous when a car or 18 wheel semi truck is in the next lane and complicated further with a side wind. i just brought my car in for a takata airbag replacement and the service advisor knew nothing about any steering problems regarding a 2009 corolla. i went to the corporate level and again, toyota customer service knew nothing about any problems. when i asked if i could send them links to reports by abc, consumer reports, usa today and multiple other sources about law suits, judgements and decisions, they said they had no way of accepting these links. apparently, hundreds of 2009 corollas have this issue. i have experienced this issue at all speeds, although at slower speeds it isn't as dangerous but moving at a highway speed means that a few feet of unpredictability is not only possible but happens every few hundred yards. there are times but very few times where the steering is completely normal. my suspicion is that the electronic steering box or control may be affected by cell phone interference, both from my own phone and others as well as reception towers. i am a driver of almost 45 years and have logged almost a million miles with no accidents. i am mechanically inclined and am sensitive to mechanical malfunction and abnormalities. this steering issue is dangerous and has already cost lives and created accidents according to the articles i have found. please help me convince toyota to either recall the car or fix my car to normal operating conditions.

I own a 2009 corolla that has 108,000 miles. i took it to the dealer for the airbag recall fix, and it also had the engine check light on. the dealer said that the obd-ii code p0354 came up in the diagnostics and the vehicle needed a new engine wire harness at a cost of $2,000 dollars. i did my own research and found this toyota technical service bulletin link that describes exactly the problem and also includes my car's vin. http://alflash.com.ua/refer/t-sb-0379-08.pdf apparently,toyota knew of the wiring harness problem, but they chose to conceal it and fix only if the customer complained. they expected the customer to play detective and find their latent design fault! i have owned five other cars since 1973, one for 23 years, and i never had to replace the engine wire harness!

Takata recall - i received the recall notice from toyota and i made an appointment with fort bend toyota to do the safety recall. however, when i arrived at the dealership this morning, the dealership refused to perform the recall claiming that they don't do recall on saturdays (even i had an appointment). when i confronted the assistant service manager, omar adam, with the fact that i received the safety recall notice and i had an appointment, he then tried to give out excuses such as they don't currently have parts and it's the fault of their call center (who messed up the appointments). i am deeply concern as it's an important safety recall involving lives of myself and my love ones, but toyota shows no concern of our safety at all. as of now, they still claim that they are out of the parts and do not have a date for me to do the safety recall.

Takata recall: i was notified of the recall months ago and toyota still has not repaired it for me, the local dealership and i have been in communication for months now and the recall repair still isn't available; now they are saying it should be ready in november. i think it is crazy that i and my passengers have been unsafe for months now and with such terrible delay in any sort of repairs. this is unfair and shows disregard for my life and safety.

Takada recall. i received a notice about this recall monthes ago but toyota has not offered a remedy yet. all indications are that my car has dangerous airbags and i need this car and drive it daily. please help.

I just called tom wood toyota in indianapolis on lafayette road and they are saying the manufacturer hasn't released the remedy on the takata airbag and won't do so until december

Takata recall has been issued for long time. but the remedy method is still unavailable. people's lives are at risk!

Takata recall i was issued an air bag recall quite some time a go and toyota service department keeps telling me that no parts are available to replace defective parts. nhtsa recall no. 16v-340 & 17v-006. this thing is a ticking time bomb and i would like to get it fixed.

Takata inflators i have requested for years to replace airbags and they have always put me off on no replacements at this time.

Takata recall- i've already had the drivers side airbag replaced. now i was notified several months ago that the passenger side airbag needs repaired. do not let anyone ride in that seat until repairs have been made. this is very difficult since i travel with friends and have to ask grown adults to ride in the back seat to be safe. how long is making a "fix" for this airbag going to take?? i know takata is being sued and other legal actions are being taken against them. i as an owner of this car since 2010 am angry. please let owners know that something is at least in the works or should i sell a defective car???

Takata recall - i called tansky sawmill toyota (6300 sawmill rd dublin, oh 43017 614-766-4800) where i purchased my 2009 corolla and asked about the airbag recall. they reported they do not yet have a fix for this. i do not like driving with my family sitting in the passenger seat knowing the risk. i would like a fix for this asap.

Takata recall. i received an interim recall notice (nhtsa no. 16v-340 & 17v-006) from toyota. i have contacted my dealer at least 4 separate times regarding the recall repair. each time i was told that the recall was interim and a recall repair had not been identified and was not possible. i am unable to pay for a replacement air bag inflator out-of-pocket so since receiving the recall notice (i believe nearly one year ago although there is no date on the notice from toyota), i have been unable to operate my vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat. today, i received notice from takata (tk holdings inc.) notifying me that they had filed chapter 11 bankruptcy and that i should contact my dealership immediately to schedule a free repair. my dealership asked to see a copy of this notice, as they had not received this information. they indicated that they would contact me with a follow-up after reviewing the notice. however, as of today, 10/26/2017, toyota has been unable and unwilling to remedy the airbag problem and schedule my repair. the notice from tk holdings led me to visit the airbag recall website, which led me to file this complaint.

Toyota has issue a "important safety recall" for my 2009 corolla in january 2017. in the notice, toyota recommends not carrying passengers in the front seat as there is a risk of injury or even death if its faulty takata airbag is deployed. it's been nine months since toyota detected this problem. i called my toyota dealer in bethesda, md, and was informed that a remedy is still not available. not being able to carry a passenger in the front seat is a big inconvenience. i need a solution for this problem. i would appreciate nhtsa's guidance on how to deal with this situation. can i request toyota to replace my vehicle or buy my vehicle back? should i have the faulty airbag replaced elsewhere and request toyota to cover the expense? thank you in advance for any guidance/assistance you can provide.

Steering wheel coil remedy never resolved took vehicle in twice for service update at the dealership on steering column coil and airbags.was turning at 5 miles an hour on way to drive onto a trailer so the vehicle could be pulled when the steering wheel was sloppy and was hit by another car from the left side

Tsb 0087-09 march 13, 2009 came out shortly after production of the 2009 model and due to the many complaints it appears they quickly included it in the powertrain warranty (6 mo/60k miles) rather than do a recall. this is a problem that is detected on a cold start, so many users will ignore it, thinking it's just a squeaky belt, and used car buyers will get taken because you can't detect it if the seller has started the car and it doesn't occur until the next day after you've purchased the car. toyota slid under the radar on this one. it's a pricey repair that i've been told by a few mechanics that only the dealer should handle. i strongly encourage you to pursue a recall. this is not a part that should have problems. in fact, the dealer said they should go 250k without major problems. it's not just the '09 corolla. it is widespread, and if you google this, the web is filled with complaints for several toyota models. please let the consumer know you're being vigilant and investigate this overlooked issue.

Takata recall - we received a safety recall notice several months ago. soon after, we called a local dealership to schedule the recall repair. on the call, the dealership told us they are out of parts and would contact us when the parts are in. about two or three months later, we still had not heard from the dealership, so we called back but were told the same thing. another two or three months later, which is today, we called back and were told the same thing yet again. i receive a safety recall notice (which by the way takes away a part of the utility of the vehicle by recommending that no one rides in the passenger front seat), but receive no help from toyota in addressing it. the dealership defers any and all responsibility to the manufacturer toyota corporate. at this point, we feel very inadequately assisted with this recall.

Takata recall why is it taking so long??

Takata recall & water pump. failure to provide replacement parts in a timely manner on the takata air bags. was told not to use front passenger seat. not practical! also, failure of water pump and indicator light to warn of the failure. resulted in total replacement of engine. temperature gauge showed normal when in fact the engine was over heating. car was just over the the mileage of 54,000 in july 2014. we were coming back from a trip to myrtle beach, and it died on the highway three hours from our house in ohio, just as dusk was falling. very frightening not knowing what was going on. no warning what-so-ever. had an expensive tow back to mogadore from new philadelphia, ohio. without a car for three weeks and forced to purchase a re-built engine from toyota. ganley toyota in akron was upset and mr. ganley, the owner, would not even talk to us when we requested an appointment. attached is a list of similar complaints when i looked up water pump failure in 2014. i have not been able to take a vacation since, nor afford a new car. the woman who handles titles was nasty in indicating that we did not purchase the car from ganley. we had received a better price from metro toyota for the car but i don't see why that should make a difference, since all of our maintenance has come out of the ganley akron, ohio dealer. attached is a letter i plan on sending to toyota. the customer never forgets.

Takata airbags-this is third time that i am filling this out. this website is difficult and i could not check all the boxes that i needed. this car had so many problems. it is the worst car that i have even owned. all of the paint was peeling off. i had to have the engine rebuilt. the lights kept blowing out. i had an accident and i hit the steering with my face. the airbag never deployed. i knocked myself out. i had facial contusion and almost knocked my teeth out.

Takata recall - i am very upset to be driving an unsafe car. this recall is taken way too long to get resolved. when you contact dealers they just say you will be notified. i am not the original owner and have no idea what notices the previous owner may have received. i now am concerned because received an auto air bag class action settlement card that has a date to respond by september 25, 2017. phone number listed is 1-888=735-5596 and website www.autoairbagsettlement.com..they are giving instruction as to how you can excuse yourself from the settlement or object. the language is very confusing. is there ever going to be a fix or remedy for this issue. this vehicle i use everyday for work.

Takata recall

Takata recall the recall on my airbags is not complete, and the remedy is not yet available in a timely manner for my safety in the event of me possibly getting into an accident and getting seriously injured or even die because of the defect in my airbags inflating and causing metal objects to fly out and hurt me and/ or my passengers. also, my seat belts don't stay in place to hold me or my passenger back in the possible event of an accident, to cause us less harm if any was to occur.

"takata recall"....it's taking too long for this remedy to happen. vehicle is sitting idle. someone let someone know something because this is ridiculous!! interim notice was received 'months' ago.

Takada recall. my car warning light for the driver air bag is showing that the airbag is not operating. i called my toyota dealer about the warning light. they are having me bring in the car for a diagnostic however they are saying that the airbag is not in stock and is only affecting places with high himidity. high temperatures also affect the airbag ability to inflate. they are going to perform a diagnostic but are now claiming it is a cable and will most likely charge me for the diagnostic. the air bag needs to be replaced weather toyota has provided the part of not. toyota is responsible and should have had these air bags available to be replaced in the cars on the recall list. i noticed the light on when starting the car and the light telling me that the passenger air bag is off did not go off as i drove. i called the dealership today 8/24/2017

Tl* the contact owned a 2009 toyota corolla. while driving 50 mph, the contact swerved to avoid a collision. as a result, the vehicle flipped over two times. the air bags did not deploy. the contact sustained a concussion, but did not seek medical attention. a police report was filed. the vehicle was towed and deemed a total loss. the local dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. the failure mileage was unknown.

Takata recall. "remedy not available"! takata/toyota has failed to remedy the safety recall for my vehicle in a timely manner. the video on nhtsa site suggests serious injury or death can occur upon crash/impact due to takata defect. "timely manner" would be immediate repair…parts available in all states for all vehicles. i received notification last year 2016, it is now aug. 2017 and i am still unable to escape possible injury or death because takata has failed. i live in very hot humid conditions in southern illinois/st. louis. is today the day i or occupant die from an airbag that is supposed to save lives? fortunately i have not had a crash with the vehicle, so i have not yet experienced the life threatening condition caused by the defect. fortunately i am still alive to file a complaint…will i or my passengers be here tomorrow? takata and toyota need to figure out the answer to that question. since late last year (2016) recall instructions are to not ride with a passenger. and it is now august of 2017…people have families, friends, one life to live…and need to use their passenger seat! their delay in fixing is beyond negligent. toyota dealers are disabling airbags and put "do not sit here sticker" in cars? i am making a car payment…their solution to not use ¼ of my car. i am formally requesting that in addition to repair that takata/toyota pay ¼ of my car payment from time of first notice and until they have repaired my car. they are causing daily worry and stress- is today the day i get injured or die today from a shrapnel-shooting inflator? i have been a loyal toyota owner. i would plan on another toyota in the future…but what is toyota/takata doing for me…except endangering myself and my family. by dec. 2016 there were at least 11 deaths and 184 injuries. those numbers will turn out higher. they are failing to fix the problem!

Takata recall correction is taking an unsafe amount of time.

Takata airbags inflator issue, i'm driving on a risk with my family, if anything goe wrong, toyota motors inc usa will be responsbile,toyota company hasn't announced any remedy as yet.i have contacted the nearest dealer i.e toytoa fairfax ourisman but all in vain. i cant even sell the car because of this issue. need this issue to be settled once and for all or i should be given a loaner vehicle till this is fixed

Takata recall. there is still not a fix available. i asked for a loaner car in february 2017 and the dealership said i would have to leave my car outside on their lot. unacceptable as i take car of my car and do not want it out in the elements. i have tried to join the class action and cannot because they didn't yet repair the car. we have gone all this time without anyone being able to ride in the front passenger seat. is there a way to disconnect the airbag? this would seem to be an unacceptable solution as it makes the car less safe.

When inquiring about the general recall for air bags i was informed by texas toyota that the recall did not apply to this vehicle. looking it up on the nhtsa website shows that airbags should have been replaced by the dealer.

I have contacted my local dealer who says the parts are not available for this recall. in looking at the web site jan. 9, 2017 is the date listed this recall was announced. it is now aug. 21, and my insurance provider is saying my coverage may be increased if this recall is not taken care of. what are my options?? i received a card in the mail on 8/19/17 from the district court for the southern district of florida which says i should make an appointment with my local retailer to repair this as soon as possible. they can't repair if they don't have the parts!

Takata recall for my toyota corolla was issued in january 2017 and there is still no remedy available to fix it. this is a very dangerous matter and i feel there should be a remedy immediately. it is unreasonable to simply say don't drive your car or use the front passenger seat until the problem is fixed. this needs to be fixed now or more people will be hurt or killed.

The car automatic transmissions shift very hard. the mechanic replaced pressure solenoid valve. i was informed that electronic control module is bad. the symptoms are similar to a volunteer safety recall a0j for 2007-2008 corolla models equipped with 1zz-fe electronic control module. the ecm for certain 2005 through 2008 toyota corolla and corolla matrix models equipped with the 1zz-fe engine and two-wheel drive may have been improperly manufactured. there is a possibility that a crack may develop at certain solder points or on varistors on the circuit board. in most cases, if a crack occurs at certain points or on certain varistors, the engine warning lamp could be illuminated*, harsh shifting could result, or theengine may not start. in limited instances, if cracking occurs on particular solder points or varistors, the engine could stop while the vehicle is being driven which may increase the risk of a crash.

2009 toyota corolla, engine will go into a "mode" where it revs up to 2000 rpm on its own. pressing the gas pedal will not do anything, still stays on 2000 rpm until engine is shut off and restarted, one shop suggested i replace the throttle body ($1400) did and still have the same issue. also replaced the gas pedal assy. ($35.00 used) still have the same issue. car may go days or weeks between events. when it happens on a freeway, it is very bad, the car slows and you can not accelerate in any way, you must pull over and shut off the engine and restart to get the car to move. very dangerous! this has happened when traveling at 65mph and also at 5mph coming to a stop sign.

My wife was travelling on i-270 near columbus, oh on 6/19/2016 afternoon (around 2 pm) in a toyota corolla s 2009. she took an exit 22b at around 60-65 mph and the vehicle after giving brief beeps suffered from an abrupt engine stall. she lost control of the vehicle momentarily as the steering and break jammed. she regained control after great effort and pulled over the vehicle at the roadside. the car did not start immediately but started after about 30 mins and ran properly after that but with some minor vibration post 60 mph speed.

I was driving on highway with 2 children in back, when car hit 60 mph... it accelerated on its own to 90 mph and would not stop (had foot all way down on break). after prob 30 seconds, the accelerator went down and i pulled off the nearest exit. if there was more traffic on highway, there is no doubt that me and my children would have crashed and been killed.

I have been dealing with excesive amount of oil consumption since i bought the car and found out that it was consuming oil while doing random checks on the car. after that i looked on-line for solution and found pages after page and website after website of people complaining about the same issue since 2009 to now and toyota not doing anything about it. i since continued checking and toping the engine oil until december when my car started to stall when i stopped at a light. it would try to idle around 500-600 rpm but couldnt and then the engine would bring it up to 800 rpm. i had it diagnosed and turned out my piston rings are the problem. after further investigation online i saw that the piston and piston rings are the problem on the toyota 2zrfe engine and may other engines. i called my dealership and scheduled a day to have this checked when i got there in feburay i was told that my vin doesnt have this issue i explained i am having this issue and was turned away. i called 1800 number and was told that there is no issue and the online is just that people complaining about a problem that doesnt exist. until april when my engine would not accelerate fast. when i went on the high way with it it felt like my engine power was a 3rd or less becuase i was having hard time accelerating faster than semis who were starting from stand still. since then i filed a complaint with bbb and attorney general and got a call from "toyota customer experience case #1606030224" and was told by jeffery moore that the kits for the fix are shipping now and to take it for repair on 5/26/2016 and i took the car in a couple of days later and they checked the oil and put stickers on the car and told me to come back after 1100 miles. after two days of doing that i got an email and a call. i called back and was told that they will not fix it and they contacted the regional manage and he said no.

My 2009 corolla experienced issues identical to a prior recall circa 2010 for '05-'08 corolla & matrix models regarding engine control modules (ecm) that may have been improperly manufactured. on 3/30/16, the check engine light turned on and my vehicle experienced harsh shifting and struggled for gas. vehicle was in motion with over a 1/4 tank of gas on a residential street at the time. on 3/31/16, i had the vehicle towed to my local toyota dealership. diagnostics were run and ecm fault codes were identified. service associates working on my corolla addressed their concerns and were repeatedly denied requests for a replacement ecm. at one point, i was advised by toyota dealership staff to personally order an ecm unit through the parts dept., insisting that the request coming directly from a customer would not be denied. i attempted to place an order with parts, and that request later was denied. after several re-tests and denied requests for a replacement ecm, my vehicle received a replacement tail light bulb (what i refer to as a "band-aid" fix) and was released back to me on 4/5/16. the very next morning (4/6/16), check engine light came back on and vehicle was brought in. once again, codes tied to the ecm were identified. after another week of tests, denied ecm fix requests, and another band-aid repair, the vehicle was released back to me on 4/14/16. during this two-week ordeal, i incurred over $540 in rental car expenses and $186 in "band-aid" repairs, despite the fact that ecm issues were identified from the beginning. i have opened 2 cases with toyota customer experience center to address this ecm issue with my 2009 corolla, the prior 2010 recall, and have requested that my vin be incorporated into the recall. so far, toyota has denied any responsibility, insisting that their ecms don't fail, offering no assistance for issues they deem off-warranty/off-recall.

During a routine inspection at the toyota dealership on 3-29-16, a cracked cv joint boot leaking grease was discovered (59k miles) this is the 2nd occurrence for me, the 1st on my 2010 corolla just a few months prior. loss of grease will eventually result in failure of the cv joint & disconnecting from the hub assembly resulting in loss of propulsion and pose a potential safety hazard. it would seem that such a critical component should not fail so early in the vehicle's lifespan.

Vehicle was in motion when the driver's side door started smoking and eventually burst into flames. fire rescue was called but we managed to put out the fire with water before they arrived. this happened on 2/19/16 and to date toyota is yet to send someone to look at the vehicle. i am at my wits end with toyota.

At 54,000 miles, 57,000 and 59,000 miles i took the vehicle to a toyota service center after experiencing oil consumption, one quart every 1,000 miles or so. i was told this was normal consumption, each time, which i still didn't believe and returned to complain as a matter of record. the car has 74,000 miles on it and it is at the toyota service center exhibiting a knock in the engine. now, because there is a knock in the engine the oil consumption test cannot be done. i took the car to the toyota center three previous times and no oil consumption test was offered any time i raised the issue. now toyota says they can't perform the oil consumption test, and since the oil consumption test was a requirement for authorized repair/replacement toyota will not honor there warranty enhancement notification - ze7 letter. how this happened, i was on my way home from city driving and within 1 mile of my home and i heard a noise coming from the front of the car. i stopped the car and opened the hood to inspect the engine area. i restarted the car and noticed an engine noise. the car was then pulled to the driveway and hauled to the service center on a flatbed towing truck. i am now waiting for the toyota service center, who told me the car cannot be covered by toyota unless i pay a portion of the repair cost. this is an admission of the problem (guilt), and is not in accordance with the letter i received. the letter clearly states, conduct an engine consumption test to be considered for repair or replacement. how can this be done, when the service center failed to subject this car to the oil consumption on three occasions? i, attempted on three occasions to obtain service and was denied, now i am at fault? it is my opinion toyota is responsible for this repair/ replacement, as there was time to conduct the test and time to avert the problem with the engine.

Car was taken in for oil change at mileage due and toyota dealership stated oil dipstick was totally dry and to check it at halfway mark of miles. car is not due yet for oil change until about 95,000 miles and at halfway mark oil was already down to last mark on dipstick. car was taken to toyota and they stated 2009 corolla was not part of limited service campaign of other vehicles exhibiting same problems as my car. dealer said to just add oil in between changes and i explained that car should not be consuming oil at this stage and they agreed but stated i would have to cover repairs which might cost between $2,000-3,000 because of car not being part of campaign with other makes which were also having same problem with excessive oil consumption at around same mileage. i started oil consumption test so that it would be on record. if other owners are having same problem, 2009 toyota corolla should be included in limited service campaign of excessive oil consumption as it was included for most of the other recalls and campaigns. i have looked online and seen many others with same make model and year with same complaints and dealer does nothing to fix problem.

Electronic power steering in my 2009 toyota corolla becomes noticeably loose and will drift to one side while driving. i notice the steering wheel become less responsive after pulling into/out of a driveway, over train tracks, pothole, anything that provides shock to the vehicle with throw off the steering control, but it could be a flat straight road and the vehicle will drift. the steering control is so loose that one must constantly be adjusting the steering wheel to prevent the vehicle from drifting. i had my alignment adjusted 3 times over the past 3 weeks thinking something may be wrong with it, but the technicians stated that alignment was within spec. i purchased new tires (and balanced tires) and the drifting still occurs. found this technical service bulletin tsb-0140-10 and it is exactly the same drift like crosswind pushing the vehicle. i called a toyota dealership and spoke to a service technician who stated that the authorized solutions was to replace the ecu with a different ecu part number, calibrate steering wheel centering and again align the wheels for the new ecu. if they give replace it with a different part number why isn't this a safety recall, since they are not replacing it with the same defective part number? someone at toyota is clearly aware that the old part number is no good. if the vehicle steering goes out even slightly while the vehicle is in motion, why is that not considered a safety recall? no preventative maintenance can prevent this, only a toyota service center can repair this. this would only be covered by toyota warranty if the issue was reported within 36 months or 36000 miles, even though a settlement was reached with toyota in july 2015 that closed the issue with the nhtsa. the toyota dealership quoted me an out of pocket repair cost of $1200, for something that they know is a problem with the steering control.

I was on my way to work drive on the surface street at a speed between 42-45mph when my car suddenly accelerated. i stepped on brakes but i was still accelerating so i had to turn off my engine to get the car to stop. this is the second time this has happened to my vehicle. the first time was about 6 months ago, at the time i took it to a toyota service center and they told my brakes and carpet was recalled. the replaced both items and told me my car should be good. the second time my car accelerated weeks ago. i called toyota and made a claim with them. they are saying there's no issue with my car even though i had accelerated two in the past 6 month. both time i had to turn off my engine to get the car to stop. both time i had to call a tow to tow my car. this is a very dangerous situation that needs to be addressed. *tr

Takata recall: how could this have a recall and your company is stalling to complete this recall when you are knowing that when driven we can get into a major fatal car accident with the airbags forcing pressure against our bodies and even can burn our face and moreso death can appear during this incident. i was so frightened to think i see the airbag 6 second light light up and blink driving on the highway. thank the lord that nothing happened to cause an accident or a 36o turn multple crash on the rain, mudslide roads..

I had spoken to mike from carson toyota regarding this recall more than 6 months ago. i found out about this recall from my coworker who has the same model and year car as mine. mike had told me that only a few toyotas were on recall and the last time i had gotten my oil changed there, he told me that my model was not in that recall.. but i did get a letter in the mail. i told him that my coworker told me about the electrical window on the right side. mike had told me that it wouldn't be covered. i would have to pay about $400 plus for that window that got stuck. mike did tell me that my vin model was not counted for. i am real upset. this past december, i drove to san francisco when it is raining and windy, this is a real big hazard for a branch to have come inside my car without my daughter being able to close to the window and had poked her arm some how.

My vehicle has never had the service campaign for the cam shaft gears replaced. now my vehicle has 197k miles on it and has been having issues with those gears. i need to know if there is a way to get this paid and fixed by toyota since its a recall. my vehicle is at my dealership in vancouver right now. i can not drive my vehicle.

Started engine, then while idling a loud squealing noise appearing to sound from the power steering, upon close observation notice coolant fluid all over the serpentine belts and the alternator. the battery would die and water residual all over the place all indication points to a busted water pump from the mechanics. the car only got 70,000 miles. have 5 months left on car loan and no money for repairs and don't know if engine still works.

2 recalls that i have received through the mail. im afraid driving on the freeway as they mention that when the light show on airbags 6 sections we can get into an accident due to airbags bursting out.

I have a 2009 toyota corolla (le). i bought it almost exactly 3 years ago with about 12,300 miles on it. currently, it does not have 50k. i have to drive downtown for nursing school, it takes roughly 20-30 minutes. the very terrifying and incredibly dangerous issue that i have been having is that i will be driving 65mph on the expressway and it will suddenly just drop down to 30/40mph. due to this issue, i have almost been in a crash. i will change lanes thinking my car will accelerate to pass someone and it will just drop down to 30mph! also, while i am idle, it will shake and rev..so the rpm will be up close to 2; yet, i am idle! i have read of others experiencing similar issues. this is so dangerous and i do not understand why this has not been addressed sooner. the worst part is no one knows what is wrong. i took it and had a diagnostic test run, it said one of the ignition coils was faulty..on a 2009 toyota with less than 50k miles...that doesn't sound, right huh. well, i took it to a mechanic and they gave me a new battery, an oil change and ran another diagnostic test (after switching the ignition coil(b) to another (acord). it recorded nothing. i spent $500 it was fine for about an hour then the check engine light came back on and it started doing the same thing. i am very angry with toyota for not addressing this issue, especially since others have experienced it and it is dangerous. my safety and the safety of others is at risk.

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. during inclement weather, the vehicle would not start. the contact constantly had to wait for the weather conditions to improve in order for the key to turn over to start the vehicle. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the vin was not available. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 118,000.

This accident happened in 2011. vehicle accelerated itself while exiting the freeway. ended up side swiping the ramp and finally got it to stop using emergency brake. luckily stopped before crashing into the wall. toyota investigator came to take edr report but didn't admit the problem of the vehicle. vehicle was left alone and not fixed for days so they can investigate. i was expecting them to provide answers but i ended up fixing my car with my insurance. they didn't do anything after getting the data out of my vehicle.

The transmission grinds as it shifts into 3rd gear with the clutch disengaged as a result of a defective synchro ring. after a quick search online, this appears to be a common problem with the particular transmission on my '09 corolla s. the problem was first described in a 2010 toyota technical service bulletin (t-sb-0282-10), but toyota did not extend the warranty despite the fact that the synchro ring in my particular vehicle was apparently doomed to fail at some point unless the lock ball spring strength was increased to reduce stress on the 3rd gear synchro. for anyone who didn't show symptoms before their warranty expired (like me), they were just a ticking time bomb.

My trunk even when properly raised in full does not stay up reliably. i had this problem for as long as i have had the car but in the past year i received a notice from toyota that if i had a problem, they would do something to correct it. i brought it to the dealer and they assessed the car, decide it did qualify for the "repair" and allegedly took care of it. it has since still come down without warning and has hit me in the head several times. it occurred yet again on 11/30/2015 and really gave me a bad bump on my scalp and ultimately a large bruise on my forehead. i am as careful as i can be but it is hard to keep it from occurring repeatedly.

My ecm constantly have issues with stabilizing the vehicle on a daily occurrence. when it works as it should the car feels stable like it has added weight and the steering is responsive. the ecm in the late 2000s all have ecm problems which is a safety concern since braking, transmission and steering are all affected in some adverse way. the vehicle had a o2 sensor replaced and it still has the same issues, alternator also replaced. i believe toyota knew about this issue with its toyotas and decided not to issue a recall in order to save money. ive been dealing with this issue since a month after i got my car 4 or 5 months after i got my car. the code p0607 along with the p0138 are constantly going off in my vehicle. sometimes the p0138 will go away but the symptoms of a bad ecm still remain. the car shakes, doesn't stall yet, feels sluggish and hard to keep straight at almost any speed.

After replacing the alternator in my 2009 corolla in july 2015. my timing chains and water pump malfunctioned while driving on the highway. i was unaware and so was the mechanic that the timing belts were damaged until after the water pump and serpentine belt was replaced. due to timing issues from the previous malfunctions, i am now in need of a new motor. my vehicle has all required repairs or maintenance completed as scheduled and my vehicle has not even made it to 80,000 miles.

I took my corolla to the 75k miles services, but at the 76k when i was driving the engine start making noise. i opened the hood and i was surprised to see that the water cooler tank was almost empty. i took my car again totoyota service center and they said that the cooler pump is leaking so i have to change it and the repair will cost around $500.00. my 09 toyota corolla's water pump is busted and i thought all along that corolla are supposed to be the best?.this really annoying issue, with only 75,000 miles on the car the water pump shouldn't be all ready worn out !.

Car drifts high speeds about 1' ft. like on a windy day ! but no wind bought 2 new set of tires / and aliegned did not fix !!! went to dealer they said no recalls but other people say eps can be re- tuned

7.5y old corolla le with 61,000 miles of gentle driving/excellent maintenance, all of a sudden, the alternator failed and the car steering wheel is locked, throwing me into panic. i managed to pull into a bank parking lot at chase bank on 161 w spring creek pkwy, plano. my previous car was 1995 corolla, had same experience. i would never feel safe in these vehicles. i feel these denso alternators may be defective at such low mileage and gentle use. anyone else have similar issue with denso alternator [model 104210-5480]?

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. while driving approximately 40 mph and depressing the brake pedal, the brakes malfunctioned. as a result, the contact crashed into the rear of a second vehicle. the air bags failed to deploy. the front passenger sustained a minor head injury that did not require medical attention. a police report was not filed. the cause of the failure was not diagnosed. the front end of the vehicle sustained significant damage. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 25,000.

Driver side power window switch started smoking and i had to take it out to prevent a fire. one of the switches would not operate freely and seemed to get stuck. thought i was going to have a fire and when i removed it i found components melted. cannot operate window and it is in open position. vehicle was moving at the time and i had to return to home and park since switch was smoking.

Toyota has a tsb for 2009 - 2010 corolla with the 2zr engine, it is t-sb-0087-09 brief engine knock/rattle noise at cold startup, my car has this problem and needs the camshaft timing gear assembly replaced. i called "toyota care" at the recommendation of the local toyota service manager. toyota care said my vin number was not included in this tsb and that it is out of warranty. (my corolla was an early 2009 production model, mfd in 2/2008, in service beginning in may of 2008 ( i believe) and that there is nothing they could do to help me. my vin is not included in the range of eligible vin numbers and is out of warranty. my corolla has had the noise for a long time and only has appx. 60k miles on it, it is obviously a manufacturing flaw or error and toyota should recall all 2009 corollas for repair. the website toyotanation and corolland note many owners with the same problem. when the car cold starts it rattles for the first second like there is no oil in the motor, a very loud knock, this also occurs on warm starts after only a few hours of being parked, and sometimes while driving. my corollas has had it's oil and filter changed every 5k miles since new; obviously not precipitated by neglect or abuse. thank you for attention to this issue, sincerely, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

My air beg light come on and don't go away. i receive a letter from toyota about air beg recall. they told me to go to local toyota dealership and say they will fix it. i went there and they told they don't have the part and they will order it and told me to wait. is been a year and they never call me back. i receive a second letter from toyota about the same air beg recall and so l call the local dealership. they say the part is not available and tell me to wait. i don't think they doing anything about it. because i'm driving down the road with a defects car, i'm constantly worry. i just want my car to be fix before is too late.

My 2009 toyota corolla has about 93,300 miles on it. after all the recalls that this vehicle has had, it also has been making noise every time i start it. sometimes it is a loud screeching noise and sometimes it is not that loud. i am sick and tired of all these recalls and i am surprised they are not recalling this problem because from what i have read, many other owners are also having this issue with their 2009 toyota corolla. i will be taking this to the dealership tomorrow to see if they can fix it along with another recall that i got a letter for. there will legal actions taken if this is not addressed properly.

My daughter was parking the car at college iin a parking building going up a spiral and it would not turn. towed to datsun doctor mechanic. failure in power steering rack or the stearing gear box.

Driving down the highway at 65 mph in my toyota corolla and the car lost all power and had to quickly pull over to the side of the road. the car was dead and would no longer go. once it was towed to the dealers they determined that the water pump and stopped working for no apparent reason.

Recently noticed the noise comes from engine compartment after start and during driving. during 5k maintenance service, i was notified that the water pump failed and needs replacement. the car was being driven gentally under normal condition at less than 55000 mile and 6.5 years. the repair is not covered by the 10-year powertran warranty comes with the purchase. had to pay for the repair.

When driving, steering requires constant attention as it drifts both right and left off center making it difficult to drive straight. vehicle, at highway speeds, will sometimes give the feel of hydroplaning or being buffeted by strong cross winds(very scary and dangerous). this vehicle is unsafe as it requires you to focus all of your attention directly in front of the car just trying to keep it between the lines. any distraction such as reading a highway sign for 2 seconds can find you drifting into another lane or off the road. the sudden feeling of hydrplaning is exceptionally dangerous as one can oversteer to correct.

Dangerous car to drive. vehicle drifts hard left when driving in a straight line. problem is made worse when driving next to a large trailer truck with crosswinds. car steering has a large loose, dead center feel disconnected to the road. when turning, the power steering does not move the steering wheel to the center. the driver has to manually correct the wheel every time. i purchased the car "new" from the dealer. i still own it today, and the steering is just as bad. in bad weather, the problem is absolutely terrible. the dealer has no solution.

I am the original owner of a 2009 toyota corolla which i purchased new from a local toyota dealership. i have always had them do recommended service, etc. and have taken great care of this vehicle. in july 2014 my car was making a rattling sound and i took it in for service. at that time it barely turned over and started, although i had replaced the battery in 2013. the car had a faulty alternator and when they were doing service they also discovered a broken water pump. the car only had apprx. 27,000 miles at that time. on 8-9-15 the car barely started and as i backed out the battery light came on and i lost my power steering. i had to have the car towed to the dealership and the problem was another defective alternator! the car only has less than 32,000 miles and another alternator. although the part was just out of warranty, the dealership covered the part, but i had to pay 132.00 labor and go without a vehicle for 2 days. my family and i always own toyotas and have excellent service from the cars. this one, not so much! now i'm wondering what will go next. i think this will be my last toyota.

H first time the car malfunction i was coming back from returning the rental truck, i was pulling out on the highway and at that time the steering wheel locked up, the battery indicator light come on, abs brake light come on, and rest of the idiot lights on the panel come on. it was very hard to steer the car, will all my effort with two hands i can steer the wheel and control the car. the engine was running really rough and sounded like it was going to quit. this lasted for approximately 20 seconds it seemed like, and then the car started running right now and i was able to steer again and all the lights on the panel went out. i was very concerned about this thinking my car was failing and i knew that there is probably something the matter with it but when it started running right, i figured i just can't fix something that's not broke and really take no notice of it. how my daughter got a driver's license on august the 4th and then on august the 6 you wanted to use the car. so i let her use it. the car malfunction again on this day and and it took out the alternator when it did. so i change the alternator in the car and let my wife use the car for two days because she travels a short distance to work to see if it's ok. after two days of my wife driving and then i resume driving it to work. didn't appear to be the car was working fine until august 13th, and that's when my daughter erica drove the car again and while backing out of the driveway the car malfunction, she couldn't steer the car the brakes won't work and naturally grown in reverse the emergency brake is not that effective in she ran off the road and damage the car.

Driver's side mirror plastic holding snapped that keeps mirror in the open/ closed position. due to the plastic holding being snapped, the mirror wobbles and does not stay in the open position. it makes driving very dangerous with the lack of a mirror to turn and merge safely. as speeds increase, the force of the wind will force the mirror into the closed position making the mirror useless.

Driver's door lock does not lock/unlock when pressing the lock/unlock button on the key fob and pressing the lock/unlock button on the driver's door and passengers door.

A year after the warranty year period ended and less than 60,000 miles, the water pump and serpentine belt both failed. under the hood, hot coolant was sprayed all over. the coolant level leaked dangerously low, and engine temperature rose without any check engine light on. the incident happened with no sound from the engine upon starting and driving.

I was driving back to home, when i arrived i need to turn my car to the right side to my apartment but i couldn't steer my car to the right side. i decided to go straight to park in other parking space in front of me. i try to turn steering wheel but it became harder to turn then the beginning. then i saw the "abs" light and "battery" light are on, the steering wheel locked and my car stopped working. if i was on the freeway, probably will cause horrible accident!

We received notice for the recall concerning the air bag module. there is a "nationwide part shortage" and no information as to when the part will be available. it could be a week or month the dealer told me. in the meantime, my daughter is driving a vehicle that could have an airbag malfunction which is very concerning to me. toyota is not fixing the defect in a reasonable amount of time so i wanted to submit a complaint.

Hi, i have replaced my brakes late last year because the brakes don't engage right. even after i replaced my brakes, i still have trouble with the brakes. last week, i was on my way to work with my son in my car and someone cut me off with a turn into a school. i hit my brakes really hard, but it was skidding/sliding. i took my car in again for brakes check and like last time, i was told my brakes were fine. i asked the mechanic why was my car sliding/skidding. my car was diagnosed with shock/suspension issue. which i have had all along, but didn't know it caused my brakes to not function properly. this is a safety issue. i drive very short distant to work and home and i do not abuse my car, how can this happen with such low mileage. i would like an investigation into this issue, it is safety since the car doesn't brake properly. best, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).” *jb

The high beams on the headlights come on without the control being touched. this began when i first bought the car & still does. at first it would happen at any time of the day but now it happens only when it is dark or getting dark. this could impair the vision of the driver of an oncoming vehicle. it is most dangerous on narrow streets. there are other electrical problems that occur from time to time such as the cruise control, power mirrors, air conditioner, driving & dash lights not working. also the dome light has remained on causing the battery to run down .these latter problems do not seem to pose the threat that the headlights do but they seem to be connected & they are a distraction that could cause problems. i have taken my car to the dealer many times but they never corrected the problem.

I was driving and was close to my destination when i hear something go wrong. i park at my destination and i see a pool of what i think was coolant on the ground. it also felt like it was overheating so i did not want to risk the car blowing up so i had it towed. the problem was that the water pump ceased which caused the serpentine belt to also break. i searched online and found this to be a common problem and i am surprised that there have not been any recalls.

My mother is 75 years old. here corolla is 6 years old. she took it to toyota on april 23rd, 2015 for the recall of the airbag (spiral cable sub assembly and cable kit) and updated software and install update label (smart stop technology and elsbos update ecm software) to correct the recall issue. she was sent home as it was supposed to be fixed. on friday april 24th, 2015 at 10pm she was driving home from an event at approx 45 mph the vehicle stalled. she took it to toyota the next date on saturday april 25th, 2015 at 11:00 am. toyota inspected the vehicle and sent her home. on the way the home the same day at 5:26pm she was going approx 10 mph coming through a light and it stalled again. the engine kicked back in and then it stalled again. her vehicle was running fine until toyota changed out the recall parts. there is something very wrong with this and needs attention. although there was not accident it was a close call she was almost rear ended. i am writing now because something needs to be addressed with toyota and her car needs to be fixed in the same condition that it was prior to going to toyota.

Car was purchased new and has been maintained. took car to dealership to identify sporadic odd "grinding" noise upon cold start. was first told it was the serpentine belt. replaced and next day noise was still there upon cold start. returned and dealer then stated it was the bendix in the starter. replaced starter. a month later the noise happened again and squealing from serpentine belt was still occurring. third trip to dealership and i'm now told that, like many other 2009 toyota corolla owners, that it's the gear in the camshaft. the serpentine belt squeal is from my water pump leaking. now replacing water pump and camshaft gear. $2000 in repairs that, from reading, toyota is aware of! ridiculous! there should be a recall. if the dealerships state that their technicians are "certified" then they should know of this problem and not have to fix things that aren't broken at my expense! *tr

Wipers stopped working on all speeds. this impacts driving in the rain, especially at high speeds. wipers are now only one speed and i need to pull over if it is pouring. this is also a safety hazard, especially on the interstate when it is pouring rain and visibility is low for all drivers concerned. *tr

I was driving about 5 mph on a parking lot with a slight incline when the car suddenly surged. i was able to apply the brakes, but the vehicle traveled forward about 6 to 10 feet. *tr

After filling the gas tank and driving up a hill the check engine light (cel) came on and the engine ran rough. i nursed the car up the hill and drove home. i found the gas cap was not tight even though it had been clicked one time when the tank was filled just a few minutes earlier. a search for this on the internet revealed that others have had this same problem. i tightened it to one click, of course. a few days later i bought a toyota gas cap at a local toyota dealership. this sequence repeated multiple times; cel turned on, engine runs rough, lose of engine power. in one instance i was passing a car on a four lane highway when the engine hesitated and the cel turned on. in another instance i was turning left to go slowly up a steep hill when it happened again. in every instance the gas cap was loose. it happened once when i started the engine in a parking lot. i've come to the point of checking the gas cap to be sure it was tight every time before i start the engine. in early 2015 i bought another new toyota gas cap at a toyota dealer. it's now march 31. this same sequence of events... cel comes on, engine runs rough, lose of power for about 15 seconds... has happened about 12 times with this newest gas cap in less than three months. i always tighten the gas cap to the first click as it should be. this can be dangerous if it happens when we need maximum engine power, as in passing. a search on the internet shows that others have had this same problem. comments on buying new toyota gas caps at amazon show that still others are struggling with this. i can understand fair wear and tear on the "o" ring in the cap. but when two new caps come loose after being clicked as instructed then something is not right. mechanics at the dealership don't have a good answer for this. *tr

In 2013, we discovered that my 2009 toyota corolla s was using excessive oil. we reported this to our local dealership service department and they added a note to my service record, but nothing was done about it. since we always have our service done there, and i have the oil changed long before it's due, we don't normally check the oil ourselves. however, while washing the car on sunday, 03/08/2015, my husband checked it and had to put in 1-1/2 quarts of oil. on monday, 03/09/2015, i took the car in for an oil change and apprised the service department again of the excessive oil use. they again made a note to my service record. the service tech told me she had a lot of cars in with the same problem and that toyota did not have a fix for it. she said mine was not one listed as having this problem, but it is. she also stated that they had to put in 1-1/2 quarts of oil. i was advised to bring it back in for a check at the next 1,100 miles. the worst part is that my car was still under warranty when first reported. warranty has now expired so if my engine blows i could be looking at thousands of dollars to have my engine replaced!!!!! shame on you, toyota!!! i thought i had purchased a trustworthy vehicle from a trustworthy manufacturer! *tr

At 89,000 miles, the battery light came on early in the day but i continued to drive it after stopping at toyota who confirmed it was a "battery light." later in the day, while traveling close to home at about 25mph, all the lights came on in the dashboard and the car started to seize up: steering wheel became difficult to maneuver and i could barely get the car over to the curb (it happened within minutes). the car completely shut down. it turned out to be an alternator gone bad. frightening experience but i am glad it happened at 25 mph and not on the freeway earlier in the day, or it could have caused an accident. in the future, i will get all warning lights checked out promptly and not assume that a battery symbol means only the battery is dying. perhaps toyota needs an "alternator light" as well, as this is a serious situation. *tr

While driving on interstate 395 in connecticut the engine died. i was able to coast over to the side of the road and after multiple tries the car stated. i drove a little further and the engine died once again while i was driving. i was able to start the car and get it to my mechanic. the engine error code stated that 2 of the 4 starter coils failed. the mechanic replaced the 2 starter coils and the car drove fine. after the car spent the night in my garage it would not start again. i had the car towed to mechanic and he replaced the crank shaft sensor. the car again ran fine for 1 day than after the overnight in the garage the car would not start. at the recommendation of my mechanic i had the car towed to valenti toyota in westerly. ri where i purchased the car. they kept the car for a week first stating that the computer was bad and needed to be replaced. i pointed out that toyota had a recall of computers in 2008 corolla and since my car was built in 2008 did they use the same faulty computers? they stated no and would order a new computer and have it the next day. i received a call from the dealership stating that toyota would not release the part to them and they would be dealing with the regional parts engineer. after 4 days and still no computer valenti toyota called me back and stated that all 4 starter coils needed replacing and that the car is running now. the charge for the repair was $768.52 (customer #20437 and invoice #tocs275417) this does not make a lot of sense to me as i have never heard of a company not releasing parts to its own dealership. my question is did my car have a faulty computer and is this a cover-up? why would the car engine just stop when driving at a speed of 60 mph? luckily i had no one behind me and was able to coast to safety. *tr

Well i received a recall letter in may 2014 stating my corolla was recalled for a spiral cable assembly and to this day i still have not heard from toyota regarding this recall and it will be a year and im not getting anywhere with then. please look into this matter. thank you *tr

I purchased the car used 12/3/11 with 12,716 miles. within 6 months i would hear a grinding/screeching noise when starting the car. this would happen intermittently on cold starts. i had to leave the vehicle with the dealership for over a week for them to finally acknowledge the issue. on 7/13/12 they replaced the timing gear assembly and the camshaft gear. to date, the car has only 52,700 miles and the noise appears to have come back. i have checked the battery, alternator and starter and they are fine. i had originally purchased an extended warranty with 6 year/100,000 miles and was told that january 1, 2015 that expired. so, i have a defective car with camshaft issue that returns? i am frustrated because there are many stories of people having this re-occurring issue every 30,000 miles (http://www.carcomplaints.com/toyota/corolla/2009/engine/engine.shtml). i know there is a toyota service bulletin on the camshaft, but feel it should have been a recall. neither the customer service or warranty carrier are willing to work with me and this is dangerous because one can become stranded or blow a rod driving down the street. *tr

Abs and brake lights came on. the mechanic tells me that both rear abs sensors are bad (codes c0210 and c0215). this is a toyota corolla 2009 le with only 81k miles and i hear the same problem exists in some friend's cars. we have lots of snow in cleveland area and it is ridiculous not to have abs working because of this problem. looking at discussion groups, this sounds like a recall to me. *tr

The vsc light, check engine light, traction control light all are on. cannot get to turn off. *tr

There is a loud clunking noise coming from the steering column. the road surfaces causes the steering wheel to jerk and creates a rattling clunk noise and low speeds. if the steering wheel shook side to side, the apparent noise is clicking. i suspect this is a faulty steering intermediate shaft. at highway speeds, the car tends to drift out of the lane. uneven road surfaces causes the wheel to jerk at city and highway speeds. wheel balancing and vehicle alignment were performed. the issue has not been fixed. replacing the intermediate shaft should be a recall as well as the replacement/reprogram of the eps module. *tr

My 2009 toyota corolla, which i bought new in 2009, power window panel, caught fire on december 30 while i was driving it and when i brought it to the franchise i purchased it from on december 31, they told me, it was regular wear and tear and that my car was old and i would have to pay for it myself. *tr

My 2009 toyota corolla is extremely hard to handle on the road ie, staying in my own lane, maintaining speed, when there is any type of crosswind or high wind. *tr

After the smart technology software was installed on my vehicle the check engine light came on. with the recalls toyota has been having i felt it was necessary to take my car to an outside entity so i took my car to ntb for a diagnosis and was told that the 02 sensor on my vehicle was failing, the p02420 catalyst was below threshold. the consensus was that when the smart stop was installed that the 02 sensors should of been replaced as well. in addition the codes were flagged shortly after ecu update. why was this not done as part of the recall? these two go hand in hand. the smart stop recall needs to be recalled or upgraded to include the sensors. my car shutters now when coming to a stop or start, which did not occur prior to the software upgrade. i am afraid to drive it.. i don't know when it will stop altogether and not restart. will i be on the highway?? this was not thought through and rushed into. as a consumer, i am looking at a huge repair bill that i shouldn't have to if the recall was done properly. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. the contact stated that the cruise control failed to work. the dealer diagnosed that the spiral cable assembly needed to be replaced due to the cable not being connected. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who replaced the spiral cable assembly. the contact was later notified of nhtsa campaign number: 14v168000 (steering). the vehicle was repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 100,000.

Dealer did smart stop technology, upon picking up car noticed it running rough. after driving a few miles it seemed to improve. over a period of a few months and approx 3000 miles engine performance and fuel mileage have gotten much worse, mileage has dropped off almost 10 mpg! took the car in for nysi today and asked dealer about this. was told by service advisor that the car had to relearn certain functions. asked how long this should take and was told a few months? i said to them they it has already been a few months and about 3000 miles. to me this is unacceptable. i will give it a couple thousand more miles and see what happens. if i see no improvement i will be back to the dealer looking for answers. driving habits have not changed from pre smart stop. this is also a highly maintained vehicle and has been serviced at the same dealer since new. *tr

While traveling nw on hwy 99 through merced ca at 08:30 am nov. 9, 2014, i experienced a sudden acceleration of my car while in cruise mode going up the ramp just at the nw edge of merced. it continued to accelerate till the rpm gauge was into the red. at the same time, i was very tense, maneuvering in traffic while applying the brakes in an effort to slow down or stop, which heated up until they were barely working. i shut the motor off while in drive and turned it back on a few times and each time the engine went right into high rev mode again. i finally put the transmission into n and shut the engine off and coasted to the side of the road about a mile or so from where the problem started, regained my composure and allowed the car to sit a few minutes. i tried the engine starter and things seemed normal again so i cautiously exited the highway about a 1/4 mile from where i had stopped. things continued to act normally so i came back home 18 miles and had no more problems. what do i do with this car? keep driving it this way? take it back to toyota? they did the recall repair for this problem already, yet now this!! very troubling! *tr

Toyota sent me an undated notice of a limited service campaign to install smart stop technology. when i took my car in for the installation, toyota said i first had to have an inspection because i had actually experienced an unintended acceleration though there was no damage or injury. despite my daily phone calls, they have yet to schedule that inspection and to install smart stop, leaving me without a car because they tell me not to drive mine until smart stop is installed. *tr

I don't drive this vehicle much on the highway. this problem has been coming on for some time. for the longest time i thought it was the wind. it's not. the vehicle floats on the highway and requires maximum attention or i'll find myself in the ditch or worse. i've had the alignment checked and the tires are in very good condition. there's something wrong with the steering. i call it my "all over the road corolla." *tr

My driver's side airbag light illuminated roughly 5 or 6 weeks ago. i called the toyota dealership in which i purchased the car from back in 2011 and made an appointment to bring the car in to be looked at. when i arrived, i was basically told there was absolutely nothing they could do until the remedy for the recalled airbag became available. i then asked how long it would be, and was told it could be several more months. i have been driving my corolla for several weeks now, since it is my only mode of transportation with a defective driver's side airbag. i have not received any more correspondence from toyota since the first recall letter was mailed back in april of 2014. i am concerned with the danger that this problem poses and i do not see why toyota cannot fix this problem being that the light is on. in the recall letter from toyota it specifically states to contact the manufacturer immediately if the light becomes illuminated because it could pose a danger. i am afraid to drive the car as well as put my teenage daughter behind the wheel because of the fear of having a traffic accident and the airbag not deploying properly. thank you for any assistance you may have. *tr

The transmission hits so hard that it feels like you have hit a speed bump. this happens when you try to accelerate to pass. *tr

My daughter was driving the corolla with a friend in the passenger seat. she entered the driveway at a local strip mall. she proceeded to turn left into a parking stall and was preparing to apply the brakes when the corolla suddenly accelerated and mounted a raised landscaped area in front of the stall. the corolla traveled about 15 feet before it struck a large, metal, electrical utility box and stopped. both my daughter and her friend were seat belted and were not injured. skid marks on the asphalt pavement appear to indicate that the right rear wheel was locked as the corolla accelerated. investigators from toyota and the insurance company inspected the corolla and could not determine the cause of the unintended acceleration. i was the original owner and this was the only instance when this occurred. i no longer own the car..updated 11/03/14 *bf updated 8/5/2015*js

The car is constantly moving left or right in your lane with out you moving steering wheel. you need to correct all the time. some times when you correct a little it moves a lot. every one that drives car has same problem with steering. to me it is a safety problem. can cause you to loose control of car. thanks [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Letter from congressman reed on behalf of constituent re toyota recall- time frame ( attn: alison hunt). *smd 2009 toyota corolla.

While i was driving the car started stalling really bad and losing power, the engine light came up and i couldn't speed more than twenty five miles, because the car started trying to shut off on me in the middle of the street again. i took the car to get checked out and the troubleshooting codes came out as being the ignition coils due to the engine harness being bad, (difficult to believe i said ), cables don't go bad like that in florida.

I was driving back home and slowed down with the intention of stopping at a traffic intersection. my brakes did not engage at the normal level of pressure that i use, and i had to press it all the way down. when the brake was slammed all the way down the brakes did engage, but the engine started revving up and the rpm meter was to its maximum. i did not take my foot off the brakes because i knew if i did, the car would have travelled at 120mph. i immediately pulled the handbrake lever up, changed the gear to park, and switched off the ignition. i am just happy to be alive today, and am very thankful for my presence of mind. i immediately called a tow truck and towed the car to the nearest toyota dealership. we did take the car to the dealership a week back to do a software upgrade and a couple of other recalls, and the unintended acceleration that i experienced happened a week after that. toyota after their investigation concluded that the brake and the accelerator were engaged at the same time. they are essentially saying that my 5.5 shoe size foot was both on the brake and the accelerator pedal at the same time. i did look at my foot to make sure that it was indeed on the brakes when the car was revving up. so i can say with 100% certainty that my foot was only on the brake and the brake pedal was slammed all the way down. like in previous cases e.g. oklahoma court case, toyota is blaming the driver when in fact, the software responsible for throttle control was clearly shown to have over 85000 bugs by expert testimony given in the oklahoma case. if not for my presence of mind, i would certainly have been dead yesterday, and i am still in shock and awe recovering from the incident.

I was leaving the drive thru to park my car and wait for my food to come out. i made an immediate left followed by an immediate left to park in a handicap spot. i pressed the brakes and my car didn't slow down at all. i kept pressing it and nothing happened. my car went over the concrete block in front of the handicap thru bushes and finally stopped when i hit the corner of the building i pulled the car into reverse and pulled the e-brake. thankfully i was pulling off so i was going slow and no one was hit and i didn't break through the glass but, i turned my car off for about 20 mins to clam down. when i turned the car back on it operated as if nothing happened. i dealt with recalls when the car first was out but, i didn't see any recent ones pop up but, looking through other complaints i see that some people are having the same experience. i called up toyota so many times in regards to my breaks and nothing ever came of it every single time they told me nothing was wrong they didn't feel or hear anything or see anything. clearly something is wrong scared to drive my car but, i really do not want to purchase a new car. its crazy to be having issues like this. now i have to get my front bumper fixed. *tr

1. while driving at approx. 25 mph, the car suddenly lost power; i was able to drive about 2 mph into a nearby gas station. the battery light was not on, but the orange engine light came on. after 5 minutes, the employee was able to start the car and i drove one mile to my home. my repair mechanic did a computer scan indicating possible problems with a switch and suggested that i drive around for about a week before returning. 2. a similar incident occurred 10 days later. i glided into a parking lot, waited 10 min., and the car resumed at regular speed. 3. on 8/7/14, i drove 2 mi. back to the repair shop at a regular speed. a second scan could not be completed because the car suddenly stopped responding to the repair shop's computer. at this point the car is completely inoperable and must be towed to a toyota dealer. i was advised that i may need a new computer. my 2009 toyota corolla has about 48,000 miles on it. i do not believe that a computer failure is normal within the age and mileage range of this car. thank you for looking into this issue.. *tr

Steering requires constant driver correction to go straight down the highway. car pulls to the left or right, but won't track straight when driving on the highway. this occurs whenever the car is driven at highway speeds. when driving on windy days, it's more difficult to control because crosswinds add to the instability. *js

I was merging onto traffic heading west on i-10 in houston. the cars in front of me suddenly stopped and i started applying the brakes hard when there was at least 10 feet distance between my car and the car in front of me. i was merging at peak traffic hour and was not more than 40-45 miles/hour speed. when i applied the brakes, the car refused to stop and i hit the vehicle in front of me. i applied the brakes hard such that any other car would have skidded the tyres. this car just plain refused to stop and i ended up in a wreck which caused extensive damage to my car and now am having to go through insurance. i have driven other similar cars and their brakes are a lot more effective. i am currently driving a rental car of similar size and their brakes are highly effective. i do not know if this is related to an early recall about brakes on the car, but i have been prompt about getting all my recalls fixed in the car. *tr

Car would not track down the highway. feels like i'm constantly corralling this car , adjusting the steering wheel to stay in my lane of traffic. in my 40 plus years of driving, i have never experienced this behavior from a vehicle. this behavior actually occurs at all speeds. have been told by my mechanic that it is not an alignment issue, but is a manufacturing problem. seems like a grave safety concern to me. from the sheer number of complaints on steering components, looks like someone needs to be a little more proactive and pull the trigger on a recall. *js

Car recently making a loud rattle when start. toyota refusing to repair a defective cam shaft timing gear assembly. my car is not covered by toyota's warranty, but this defective cam shaft timing gear assembly has a tsb with many complaints by customers who own a 2009 toyota corolla! this is unacceptable and not safe!!! please address asap...i should not be responsible to pay to replace the cam shaft timing gear assembly that has always been defective. toyota should recall 2009 toyota corolla to repair this problem. thanks. *js

My engine started making a rattle sound when starting it up. i searched online and found several complaints about this problem. it seems to be a defective cam shaft timing gear assembly, which is no longer covered by my warranty. i am upset that this has not been recalled, since it is a serious concern especially when it deals with the vehicle's engine. i hope toyota will take responsibility for this. there are many people out there with the same problem. toyota already has had several recalls for this vehicle, so why not back the engine? *js

The airbag light in our 2009 toyota corolla (idiot light) came on. when we inquired with the dealer, colonial toyota in lincoln, ri (http://www.colonialtoyota.com) told us that it will be covered in the most recent recall but they are not covering it yet. they refuse to fix the airbag until they can be reimbursed for it. according to toyota corporate, this will be september 2014. i find this unacceptable as we now have a vehicle without an airbag. nor could we sell the vehicle as it would not pass inspection. *tr

During slow speeds or stopped when i press on the gas pedal to move forward the car's check engine light comes on and i can't move forward until i turn the car off, then back on. this has happened at stop lights, in parking garages, and even on the interstate. not safe. this is my third time taking my vehicle to the toyota dealership to fix the same problem. i paid $900 to fix the ecu (which they told me was the issue), but the same problem keeps happening. the second time i took it in they fixed something with the brake lights, now the third time they fixed something with a short in the brakes ... the taillights were blinking rapidly? i doubt the problem is fixed and i am very frustrated to pay that kind of money with no refund when the same issue keeps happening. a similar issue happened in a recall with the 2005-2008 corolla/matrix models and they had the ecm fixed with no charge. sounds like the same problem to me. *tr

After reading other brake complaints i'm realizing that i have had the same problem since i've had the car. any bit of precipitation causes the brakes to lock when barely pressing them to slow down (not stop). it happens at just a few mph or higher. they lock to the point that the car jerks to a stop at slow speeds and slides several car lengths at higher speeds. i have learned to pump my brakes before placing the car in drive. *tr

I am writing to see if my car's make/model/year should be included in the recent recall of 2003-2004 toyota and lexus cars, relating to inadvertent airbag deployment. about a week ago my airbag warning light came on and hasn't gone off since. after reading about these other model recalls today, and having had 6 other recalls performed on my car due to poor manufacturing, i think it is something the nhtsa should look into. i have contacted the toyota customer service line but was told that for now, my car isn't included in the recall. *tr

I bought this car used with 18,000 miles on it in july of 2010. and i have all service done at a toyota dealer. at 25,975 miles, replaced the front brakes, machined rotors, brake fluid flush, cleaned and adjusted rear brakes(1/28/12). (brake pedal felt soft). at 37,966 miles , replaced the front brakes again(12/21/12). pads lasted 11,991 miles! at 55,662 miles, replaced the front brakes, machined rotors again(2/20/2014). pads lasted 17,696 miles! since i do mainly highway driving, i feel that there is a defect associated with the front brake abnormal wear. also, at 50,548 replaced #2 steering shaft assembly. at, 50,691 replaced alternator. at 55,662 replaced water pump, coolant and drive belt. *tr

First incident occurred on same day the vehicle was purchased. this writer noticed that when coming to a stop the brake would occasionally make a grinding sound, but not the same sound as worn brakes or rotors; the sound was as if it struggled to stop slightly. every day from the date of purchase if there was even a slight bit of precipitation, when this writer would press down the brake, the brake would go on and off very quickly as if the abs was kicking in unnecessarily. this occurred at all speeds, ranging from 5 mph and up. for instance, on one occasion, while writer was driving carefully in the snow at 8 - 10 mph with only an inch on the ground, writer was behind another vehicle by approximately 3 car lengths and coming to a stop sign. writer began braking and the brakes went on and off quickly and grinded a bit. due to this, the vehicle slid all three car lengths and was within an inch of hitting the vehicle in front. this writer learned about the recalls today, and is contacting dealership tomorrow to see if they will take care of the issue. *tr

At approximately 11:00 a.m. on a beautiful sunny day, i was driving on the pa turnpike at the speed of 65 mph when the power steering in my 2009 toyota corolla failed. my car unintentionally veered left and right as if i was encountering hurricane-like strong wind gusts. the car bounced back and forth for approximately 5 seconds, while feeling as if it was floating/hydroplaning, as i attempted to regain control. my attempts at correcting the power steering issue were unsuccessful and ultimately the front right side of my car crashed into the right guardrail. fortunately, i was unharmed in this frightening accident and the state troopers and tow trucks responded in a timely manner. no other individuals were hurt and there was only minor guardrail damage. my car, however is extensively damaged. i am confident that this was not a result of driver error or unforeseen weather conditions. one of the state troopers that reported to the scene even commented, "everyone out here is driving the same speed as you and no one else experienced any of these wind gusts.€ i am an experienced driver who has been driving this car since i purchased it in 2009, with no prior power steering concerns or issues. my car was well maintained and a week before the accident, i had it at the dealership for an inspection, alignment and new tires. i intend to file a claim with toyota. *tr

Driving at highway speeds the car seems to jerk right or left without warning. must keep hands on wheel firmly while on the freeway to correct when it happens. sometimes i over correct or under correct seems like sometime there is no predicting what the steering will do. just doesn't feel safe to drive, scary when it does it at freeway speeds. *tr

The spiral cable sub-assy airbag clock spring, (part of air bag assembly in steering wheel) will not work. resulting in lack of air bag deployment in critical situations. light will activate in dashboard, indicating the air bag is non functional. this vehicle has never been in any major car incident with the exception of some minor bumper scratches and the air bags have never been deployed. i took the vehicle to a toyota dealer and there computer diagnostic report provided several codes with this malfunction, considering the function of this part as a protection against personal driver or passenger injuries. the deployment or lack of deployment in any unexpected event can cause a major accident in driving condition.resulting in personal injury due to manufactures defect of this part. *tr

2009 toyota corolla. consumer writes in regards to water pump pulley disengagement and need for third set of tires on vehicle. *smd the consumer stated he heard a noise coming from under the hood, followed by a sound of something hitting the highway. he gradually slowed down and pulled to the side of the road, raised the hood and discovered the flywheel for the water pump sitting on top of the engine. he walked back up the highway in an attempt to locate what fell from the vehicle. he gathered what he found and was loose under the hood, and had the vehicle towed to the nearest service center and had a new water pump installed. while at the service center, the brakes were serviced and a new set of tires were recommended because they were cupping. the consumer took the vehicle to another establishment to have the tires inspected. firestone, informed the consumer the left front and rear tow was out of alignment and they adjusted the left front to correct it, but informed him, they could not make any adjustment for the rear, as there was no guarantee given that the alignment issue was the cause of the cupping. within a week of having the new water pump installed, the consumer began to hear a clicking sound from under the hood, so he took the vehicle back to the repair shop, to determine the cause of the clicking sound. an inspection revealed the a/c compressor needed to be replaced.

Power steering stopped working suddenly, car veered to the right, became very difficult to steer; dashboard warning light went on. this has occurred up to 20 times, sometimes as soon as the car is turned on, sometimes on the freeway at high speed. if vehicle is in motion, loss of power steering causes vehicle to jump sideways. at times, loss of power steering is preceded by groaning sound. owners' manual advises stopping the vehicle, waiting until warning light goes out, and taking car to dealer. i have taken car to toyota dealers on three separate occasions. the computer memory shows the warning light going on, but there appears to be nothing wrong with electric power steering unit, and dealer can not duplicate occurrence on a test drive. *tr

My daughter was driving west bound on i20 between exit 189 and 190 on 11/1 when the car accelerated and hydroplane. my daughter was given permission to use my car on this date, the condition was rainy and low visibility. she took feet off gas and proceeded to brake when the car accelerated. as she put her feet on brakes she lost control and crash in guard rail. in the meantime i have checked the data base and there are two recalls on this vehicle. one involved acceleration. the dealer should have had these recalls done before the car was sold which could have helped to prevent the acceleration. someone should be held liable other than the consumer for this mishap. i need to know what is the next step as a consumer. also the air bag did not disengaged. i called the dealership and spoke with [xxx] on 11/6 who confirmed that there are still two recalls on this car and she asked when did i want to bring the vehicle in. why was this not done before purchase. i also spent $2800 on an extended powertrain warranty through the dealership. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

The drivers side "sinking seat" problem started when i first bought the car in 2009. at that time, the local toyota dealer was coughlin toyota in newark ohio 43055. coughlin told me they had no fix for the problem and never heard of it before. the drivers seat can be manually adjusted up or down by hand. there are 20+ positions up or down. short people need the seat position to be all the way up in order to see over the dash board and hood for safe visibility and vision when driving. tall people would want the seat position to be all the way down. i am short, 5' 6" tall. i need the seat to be all the way up for safe vision over the dash board and hood. the "sinking seat" problem occurs when the seat gradually goes down several positions on it's own. i believe this is a design defect by toyota, not a user caused condition. this problem covers several years of toyota production. it has been reported by others on google. i have local friends that have the same problem with their corollas. today, 9-5-2013, i again reported this problem by on line email to toyota corporate for a solution. here is an exact copy of my report to toyota: "my 2009 corolla has the wide spread and chronic safety problem of "sinking seat syndrome" with the driver's seat. when will toyota have a fix for this chronic safety problem? my local dealer, coughlin toyota, has no knowledge of the problem or a solution. this problem is very common on the internet (google). some of my local friends have the same problem with their corollas. i normally have all my corolla maintenance done at the local ford dealership for fast service and quality work. unfortunately, ford is not familiar with this specific design and safety problem. can you help with a fix? if you just refer me back to coughlin toyota for help, i am in big trouble" *jb

On jan. 6th, we hit a deer about 10 miles from home, and through our insurance had the car taken to a local body shop where it was fixed. repairs were made and a few months later the abs & brake light illuminated and wouldn't turn off. we contacted the insurance and they told us to take the vehicle back to the body shop, where they would send to toyota for repairs. toyota informed us that the abs actuator was bad and needed to be replaced. for insurance purposes, the body shop ordered a used lkq abs actuator. two parts were ordered, the first one being incorrect, and was installed and we picked up the car. a few months later, to avoid being in a car accident, i slammed on the brakes and noticed the car pulled harshly to the left. i thought nothing of it until my spouse had slammed on the brakes to avoid a car pulling out in front of her, the car locked up, then started to skid to the left almost causing her to crash into the vehicle she was trying to avoid. we took the vehicle to toyota to assess the problem, again, it was the actuator. another lkq used actuator was purchased as per our insurance gmac, and it was the incorrect part. the correct part was ordered the 2nd and 3rd time, but both were damaged and unusable. gmac finally allowed the body shop to order a new part via toyota. this is the 6th actuator that was installed and we picked up our car on aug. 30th 2013. the next day, i decided to slam on the brakes to test if they were working accordingly, and was surprised to discover that they pull extremely hard to the left. i don't feel safe driving the vehicle and really hope that the problem can be corrected. if the body shop and toyota had realized the extent of the repairs from the beginning, the vehicle would've been considered totaled, the car is worth approx. $10,000. the total of all repairs done so far to-date since the accident are approx. $9500. *js

Sporadically the car would give the driver the sensation of severe wind buffeting (car would wiggle side to side). this occurred in both od and 3rd (no other gears tested), with all electronics on, then off (radio, cruise, vent, ac, etc.) and both on and off the nys thruway. occurrences did not cause the driver to lose control of vehicle though it made it difficult to keep the car within the lane markings. this condition was not noticed on 55mph more rural roads in which frequent or semi frequent stops were encountered. our plan is to secure a hero cam in an attempt to record actual steering wheel's (front tires) motion apart from operator's physical steering wheel within passenger compartment. although no loss of control was encountered each occurrence was not always the same in severity so no assertions are being made as to whether or not this condition could yield a catastrophic failure at highway speeds thus producing a severe accident harming vehicles occupants or other vehicle's occupants sharing the same roadway. *tr

I noticed last month a "brief engine knock/rattle noise at cold startup. it has happened every cold start since last month. i did research on the internet, and found a tsb-0087-09 issue regarding this problem. toyota has since corrected this problems on their 2010 models - but did nothing for the current owners of the 2009 models. with a engine any thing could happen regarding safety!!! i believe it is selfishness on the part of toyota, for what i call a safety issue. the gear in the intake or exhaust is bad in the engine. not knowing what it could lead too for elderly that love to drive these vehicles?!!! it is covered under power train warranty - 3 yr/60k. but this is a known problem defect on toyotas manufacturing end - it should be covered no matter what. more people have this issue, and probably do not complain to this agency. probably never think to - that is why you may not have more complaints regarding this issue (tsb-0087-09). i wish you would address this toyota over in japan. please keep me posted if any thing will come available for the unfortunate consumer!!

Driver air bag failed to deploy at estimated frontal impact of 45 mph.

Unable to gradually and safely correct vehicle path. when attempting to correct path (stay in the center of my lane), a minute movement of the steering wheel over-corrects and much too quickly moves the vehicle in the direction you are attempting to steer. i have practiced making my steering movements even slighter, but this is much too tedious and one could very easily steer into oncoming traffic. please note: this is not an issue at speeds below 45 mph, but is dangerous at speeds above 60 mph. *tr

I am unable to drive at a safe speed on the interstate due to instability with the steering mechanism. the car pulls to the left and at times my wheels goes over into the other lane. at times it feels i have no control over the car and must apply the brakes to keep the car from steering in whatever direction it wants to go. my rear tires feel like they want to bypass the front of my car on the left hand side. taking an exit with a sharp curve to the right, i had to slam on my brakes to keep the vehicle from steering off the road especially with another vehicle behind me. i had my tires changed and a front wheel alignment, still the problem continues. the mechanic test drove my car after i took it back to the shop. the mechanic wrote on my sales slip, "vehicle sways at hwy speeds. rechecked suspension, felt no play on both front wheels, vehicle drives straight when it feels like its swaying side to side. steering wheel itself feels loose." i consider my vehicle unsafe to drive on the highway because i could lose control of the steering within a matter of seconds or if i need to change lanes at a much slower speed than most others are going in order to maintain control of the vehicle. with the average person driving 10 miles over the speed limit and some up to 90 miles weaving in and out of traffic, cutting people off, basically being rude; it makes for a dangerous situation not only for myself but others on the road. i can only pray that i make it home safely to work and home each day before i'm able to shell out a large amount of money for more repair work on my car. thanks toyota! *tr

Driving north on an urban interstate highway at about 60 mph the car experienced random movement similar to a strong crosswind or low tire pressure. tire pressure sensors did indicate low pressure and next morning tire pressure was checked with a gauge and were at the recommended pressure. there was a moderate to strong wind from the west but the car movement even occurred when driving in a depressed roadway with no observable wind. my wife mentioned that this had happened to her recently. after a few miles the car returned to normal. later that evening when going south, this same symptoms occurred on and off over a 20 + mile period. an hour or so later, when driving east on a rural interstate the motion began again with the wind behind us. at all times when dropping the speed tp below 50 mph the problem ceased. on may 2, my wife stated that this squirrelly problem recurred driving south on a suburban interstate. tire sensors indicated no tire pressure issue. light wind from the east. there has been very little freeway driving since march. after discussing this occurrence, i recalled another corolla owner mentioning a steering problem. i went online a found numerous descriptions of similar incidents. *tr

The water pump seized up while driving and shot the remains of the serpentine belt out of the bottom of the car. the change in the handling was immediate, and i am thankful i was not on the highway. the car is not high mileage and is just out of the warranty period. no injuries, it happened late at night, thankfully no one was around, the jolt did cause me to jerk the wheel a bit. *tr

Steering needs to be constantly corrected. vehicle drifts as though your driving through a wind storm. very difficult to keep vehicle strait at highway speeds. i had steering checked at dealership and was told no problems were found with calibration. i called toyota and they stated that there were no recalls on steering and if i had concerns i should have it checked at the dealership. this issue needs to be investigated as soon as possible before someone gets killed. i noticed that there have been many complaints to nhtsa with the same steering problems i am having with the 2009 corolla. *tr

I have a loud knock/rattle noise on cold startup on my 2009 corolla. i thought it was the belt. but, after replacing belts on schedule maintenance, problem still persist. on several occasions, the engine would start but running in abnormal sound with constant big vibrations. looking up online to see if this is a common problem for the 2009 corolla, i am surprised this is wide spread problem and that toyota knows about it and even issued the repair the bulletin. according to the bulletin, this noise was caused by the defective camshaft timing gear assembly, which affect 2009-2010 corolla and matrix. i don't know how any other owner will have the same problems, and that someday it might cause big accident when the assembly failed while driving on the freeway. i could not understand why toyota did not issue a recall when they knew there is this problem on the parts. i sincerely hope nhtsa will investigate this issue. *tr
