2010 TOYOTA COROLLA Electrical System Problems

Unintended acceleration since purchase of vehicle.

several weeks After I took my vehicle into the local dealership for the PWMS assembly window panel control switch problem, I realized my door panel and the switch area was loose. I mentioned this after a couple weeks when I really noticed the Window Master Switch mechanism was dropping downward under the panel cover. The dealership did not take me seriously, so it continued to get worse. I should have taken the car back and insisted they fix it. As of today, I cannot use my Key for power entry, i must manually use the key in the door. The power on the windows still works, but the whole master switch assembly is precariously hanging there in the door and the panel that went on top was damaged when they replaced it so now its broken off in pieces and cannot even be used. I am SO unhappy with this dealership, for the many times I have taken my car in for service. I do not want to go back to them at all after the horribly shoddy job they did with the Master Switch and their lack of concern when I told them they put my door back together poorly. Is the work guaranteed, particularly when it's been this long since I took my car in for this recall fix? I take care of my car which at its age only has 38,000 miles on it. I do not want to take it to the same dealership and unfortunately there's not another one close by. Can you help me by demanding a dealership fix my problem before I actually have a fire due to the unprofessional manner in which the dealership handled my recall fix? I wish I had ignored the recall because my car was better off before I took it in.

my car had issues completely shutting down on me while I was driving which was very dangerous my abs light and steering light would come on each time it shuts down and I wasn’t able to use my power locks lights I couldn’t move it out of park or nothing those were the only two lights the was still able to start up just couldn’t move or use any buttons my keypad wasn’t working so that indicated that it was an electrical issue so I thought it was my battery even though the light wasn’t on for the battery I had my battery tested and the code came back and said I needed an alternator so I had my alternator tested and it works perfectly fine so then I checked the fuse box and it was burned up so that was my whole issue

The contact owns a 2010 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel was making abnormal sounds and also vibrating. The contact stated that upon depressing the brake pedal gradually, the steering wheel and brake pedal would vibrate. Additionally, the contact stated that the failure had been reoccurring while driving. The contact stated that the traction control warning light would illuminate intermittently and would cause the vehicle to shut off inadvertently. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where all four ignition coils were replaced. The contact stated that the vehicle was no longer losing motive power and stalling; however, the steering failure persisted. The dealer was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

WHEN I AM DRIVING MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OF OVER 50 MPH IT DOES NOT STAY STRAIGHT. IT REQUIRES ALOT OF STRENGTH TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT. IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS BEING MOVED TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT BY WINDS. FEELS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE STEERING WHEEL IS SO STIFF TO TURN SOMETIMES. I HAVE DONE THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT SEVERAL TIMES AND PUT ON NEW TIRES RECENTLY BUT THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINS. VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND I GET VERY TIRED AFTER DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS JUST MAINTAINING IN MY OWN LANE. THE DEALER'S ARE NOT MUCH HELPFUL AT ALL WITH THIS. I'VE READ ONLINE ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL WITH THE STEERING. THERE NEEDS TO BE AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS SOON BECAUSE IT'S VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.

Mileage: 99,000

SINCE OBTAINING THE VEHICLE IN 2009 BRAND NEW, UPON BREAKING GRADUALLY, IT SURGES FORWARD SLIGHTLY WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT SHOULD SLOW DOWN. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS ISSUE UP TO MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHO DENIED ANY SUCH INCONSISTENCIES. ALSO, THERE HAVE BEEN ELECTRICAL ISSUES FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS WHEN TURNING ON THE RADIO; AFTER PUSHING ANY BUTTON AT ANY TIME, IT WILL RANDOMLY CHANGE THE DISPLAY TO NONSENSE CHARACTERS OR BECOME BLANK.

CAR WOULD START THEN DRIVING AT 10MPH THE CAR STALLS AND THE DASH LIGHTS ILLUMINATE THE DASHBOARD. PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART WITH NO PROBLEM BUT IF SOMEBODY WAS BEHIND ME IT WOULD'VE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT.

NOTHING YET BUT THESE RECALLS, ONE FOR THE ELECTRIC WINDOW MASTER SWITCH, WELL OVER A YEAR OLD, AND THE OTHER FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, WHERE I'M CAUTIONED TO NOT HAVE PASSENGERS IN THAT FRONT SEAT, WHICH IS REALLY INCONVENIENT AND MEANS I DON'T HAVE FULL USE OF MY OWN AUTOMOBILE, HAS BEEN OUT LONG ENOUGH THAT A FIX IS LONG OVERDUE.

TAKATA RECALL FOR ALMOST EIGHT MONTHS MY CAR HORN HAS NOT BEEN WORKING. I CANNOT INSPECT IT WITHOUT THE CAR HORN WORKING! NO ONE WILL TOUCH IT! IT'S LIKE MY CAR HAS A DISEASE AND NO ONE WANTS TO BE CORRUPTED OR SOMETHING. I SAW ON A TV PROGRAM CALLED FRAUD SQUAD ABOUT HOW WHEN A AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED SOME COMPONENTS IN AND AROUND THE AIRBAG ARE AFFECTED TO THE POINT OF FAILURE. I'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR TWO YEARS AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING, THE INSPECTION/REGISTRATION STICKER CANNOT BE HAD! I FEEL VERY MUCH LET DOWN BY THE DEALERSHIP I ACQUIRED THIS CAR FROM. I GOT IT FROM FORT BEND TOYOTA IN ROSENBERG. IT'S GONNA TAKE ME MANY YEARS TO PAY THIS CAR PAID OFF AND ALREADY I MAY HAVE TO JURY RIG IT AND VOID EVERY WARRANTY EVER. MY WARRANTY WENT OUT, THEY ASKED ME TO RE-UP IT, I DIDN'T, AND BOOM, I'M SCREWED! WHERE CAN I GO TO GET HELP WITH THIS? I AM LUCKY I HAVE NOT BEEN TICKETED YET. UPDATED 01/25/2017*CT

CALLED TOYOTA AND FILED A CASE- THEY RESPECTIVELY UNDERSTAND MY CONCERN, HOWEVER, THEY DID NOT SEEM CONCERNED OF THE SAFETY HAZARD OF THIS ISSUE AND PROBABILITY OF THIS ISSUE CAUSING A DEATH. I HAVE FRIEND SAME ISSUE AND I HAVE READ ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE ON THE INTERNET. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. LUCKILY IT DID NOT GO OUT ON ME DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 70MPG.

THE CAR BATTERY KEEPS DYING ON THIS VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH THE BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED AND CHECKED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE DEALER CLAIMS A GROUND CABLE ON THE UNDERSIDE IS CORRODED AND "FIXED" IT- BUT THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. MY GUESS IS THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT. IT'S SCARY TO DRIVE A CAR THAT MIGHT LEAVE YOU STRANDED EVERY TIME YOU TURN IT OFF. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS.

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES, MY CAR WILL REV UP. ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M GOING DOWN HILL. ANOTHER CONCERN IS THAT MY CAR WILL MAKE A 2-3 SECOND RATTLING NOISE UPON STARTING UP. IT ONLY MAKES THIS NOISE ONCE IN A WHILE AND IT IS COMING FROM THE ENGINE. ANOTHER ISSUE I'M HAVING IS THE CAR'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TRACK LIGHT AND VSC OFF LIGHT COMING ON SIMULTANEOUSLY ON ANY RAINY DAY AND STAYING ON FOR SEVERAL DAYS AFTER IT HAS STOPPED RAINING. I AVOID DRIVING AT FAST SPEEDS WHEN ITS RAINY BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THE CAR IS VERY UNSTABLE. MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WONT OPEN OR CLOSE AND VERY COLD DAYS AND OTHER DAYS IT MAKES A WEIRD NOISE. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR USED AND IT HAS ABOUT 79K MILES ON IT.

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK WHEN SUDDENLY THICK SMOKE STARTED APPEARING FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE POWER WINDOW SWITCH. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND GOT OUT OF THE CAR. THE SMOKE HAD THE TYPICAL SMELL OF BURNING PLASTIC AND THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW SLOWLY OPENED ON ITS OWN. AFTER 5 MINUTES, THE SMOKE STOPPED AND I CONTINUED TO MY OFFICE AS IT WAS NEARBY. LATER IN THE EVENING, UPON REMOVING THE SWITCH, THE MELTED PLASTIC WAS CLEARLY VISIBLE. ONE OF THE SWITCHES ON THE PANEL DOES NOT DEPRESS ANYMORE DUE THE MELTING OF THE PLASTIC. THE SWITCH THAT DOES NOT DEPRESS IS FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW AND IT HAS BEEN OPEN SINCE FRIDAY JULY 19TH BECAUSE THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN FIXED YET.

I DROVE TO THE TOYOTA DEALER NEAR MY HOME AND WAS ASKED TO SIT IN ANOTHER 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA AND I ALSO BUILD UP STATIC ELECTRICITY, THEN THEY HAD ME SIT IN A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY AND NOTHING HAPPENED. CLEARLY THE TYPE OF MATERIAL USED ON THE CENTER ARM REST/CONSOLE IS CAUSING THIS STATIC BUILD UP ON MY ARM. THE MATERIAL USED IN THE CAMRY IS NOT CAUSING THIS. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW OF ANY STATIC COMPLAINTS. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SOMEONE INVESTIGATE THIS, IT ISN'T SAFE TO GO PUMP GAS WHILE HAVING STATIC ELECTRICITY. I CAN SHOW ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT HOW THE HAIRS ON MY ARM STAND UP ONCE I TOUCH THE CENTER ARM REST/CONSOLE. *TR

MY 07 TOYOTA COROLLA S STARTED STALLING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR STARTED AND WAS FINE. THE NEXT DAY THE SAME THING HAPPENED. WHEN I WENT TO START THE CAR AGAIN STALLED. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY FIT ME RIGHT IN EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE BUSY, WHICH I APPRECIATED VERY MUCH. THIS ALL HAPPENED AT APPROXIMATELY 62,000 MILES. LUCKILY THE CAR WAS STILL COVERED UNDER 8 YR/80000 MILES WARRANTY. *TR

MY NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA, (LESS THAN 1000 MILES) ACCELERATED SUDDENLY. I WAS DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT AND GOING ABOUT 15-20 MPH. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AFTER THE FIRST CAR WAS HIT BUT WAS UNABLE TO AVOID HITTING THE SECOND CAR. MY CAR AND TWO OTHER CARS NEARBY WERE DAMAGED, BUT NO ONE WAS INJURED.. *TR

OUR 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) FREQUENTLY HESITATES AS IF ACCELERATION HAS CEASED AND THEN REACCELERATES AFTER IT APPEARS TO SWITCH GEARS. HAPPENS AT HIGHWAY AND FREEWAY SPEEDS, SEEMS TO INCREASE WITH USE OF A/C. AFTER TEST DRIVE, TOYOTA MECHANIC EXPLAINED THIS IS NORMAL AND DUE TO ELECTRICAL PARTS THAT HAVE REPLACED MECHANICAL PARTS. HE SAID CAR IS THINKING WHEN IT SWITCHES GEARS AND APPARENTLY STOPS ITS OTHER FUNCTION (I.E., MAINTAINING A STEADY SPEED) FOR A "NANOSECOND." THIS HAPPENS EVERY BLOCK OR SO IN HIGHWAY DRIVING, AND ALTHOUGH THE SPEED DOESN'T CHANGE, THE IMPULSE CHANGES ARE PHYSICALLY PERCEPTIBLE (WE CAN FEEL IT IN THE SEAT AND STEERING WHEEL, AS IF THE CAR IS JERKING). THE MECHANIC SAID THIS IS NORMAL IN NEWER CARS AS MOST HAVE GONE TO THE NEW TECHNOLOGY. THE MECHANIC'S EXPLANATION IS LOGICAL, BUT TOYOTA'S ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AS NORMAL IN NEWER MODELS OF CARS IS DISTURBING. WE DO NOT EXPERIENCE THIS IN OUR 2010 FORD FUSION. PLEASE NOTE: SEVERAL REQUIRED FIELDS ON FORM WERE NOT APPLICABLE, SUCH AS MILEAGE AT WHICH WE EXPERIENCED FAILURE, DATE OF INCIDENT, ETC. WE JUST RELATED MOST RECENT INFO IN THESE FIELDS. *TR

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

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

I HAVE 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA (VIN# [XXX] ) PURCHASED ON OCT 31 2009 FROM SANSONEAUTOMALL, NJ. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING COLUMN INITIALLY WHICH STARTED WITH SOME UNIQUE SOUND, THEN FROM FEB 2010 I WAS SERIOUSLY FACING STEERING FREEZE (WILL GET HARDEN) ONLY 15-20% OF STEERING MOVES WHEN IN 0' SPEED, FOR THIS I HAVE VISITED MY DEALER SERVICE CENTER 3 TIMES BUT THERE IS NO USE. ONLY WITH LOT OF DISAPPOINTMENT AND ARGUMENTS SAYING "WHAT IS THE REASON TO BUY A BRAND NEW CAR TO GET PROBLEMS" I WAS REQUESTING TO SOLVE MY PROBLEM. THEY SIMPLY SAID, THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO IF YOU HAVE NO OTHER MEAN TO COMMUTE ITS UPTO YOU AND IF YOU WANT YOU CALL TOYOTA HEAD QUARTERS FOR THIS. I EVEN SPENT LOT OF TIME IN CALLING MAIN TOYOTA NR BUT SIMPLY I GET VOICE MESSAGE THAT "THERE IS HUGE VOLUME OF CALL WAITING PLEASE WAIT". I REALLY WONDER WHEN I/ANYONE BUY A CAR FROM DEALER AND IF THEY CANNOT RECEIVE ME ASSIST ME PROPERLY "WHERE FROM I GET THE JUSTICE????". RECENTLY I FOUND TWO MORE NEW PROBLEMS THEY ARE: IN A SLOPE ROAD CAR PICKS-UP ACCELERATION AND MAINTAINS SPEED AS IF IT IS CRUISED AND ONCE I APPLY BREAK AFTER A WHILE THE SPEED COMES TO NORMAL POSITION OTHER PROB- FUEL INDICATOR STUCK UP TO FULL LEVEL INDI' EVEN THE FUEL IS LOW. WITH THIS I'M DAY BY DAY GETTING DEPRESSED AS I SPENT QUITE LOT OF SAVINGS (MONEY) ON THE CAR TO AVOID ANY HASSLES BUYING A USED CAR, BUT UNFORTUNATELY ITS A DISASTER TO ME. I REQUEST TO PROVIDE ME NEEDED SOLUTION TO FIX MY DEPRESSING SITUATION. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAVE 2010 COROLLO SPORT IF I AM DRIVING ON 45 MILE/HOUR AND HIT THE BRAKE THEN REMOVE MY LEG FROM THE BRAKE. THE CAR MAINTAIN SPEED OF 20-25 MILE/H FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES.

MY 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA HAD A FAILED ECM WHICH CAUSED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME AND STALL THE ENGINE. IN ADDITION, MY VEHICLE HAD HIGH RPM AND SHIFTING GEAR PROBLEMS AS WELL. THE FAILED ECM ISSUE WAS DISCOVERED BY A SPECIFIC CODE FOR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY WERE CERTAINLY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM HOWEVER TOLD ME THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS TO RECALL THE ISSUE. I CALLED TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY INFORMED SINCE MY MILEAGE WAS 95,000 AND THE WARRANTY WOULD ONLY COVER UP TO 80,000 MILES. I ENDED UP GETTING THE ECM REPLACED FOR ABOUT $800 AT CARMAX WHICH WAS $700 CHEAPER THAN WHAT TOYOTA WANTED TO CHARGE. I CALLED TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS AGAIN TO COMPLAIN AND WAS LEFT WITH NO RESOLUTION. AFTER MY RESEARCH ONLINE, THIS WAS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM TO TOYOTA HOWEVER THEY FAILED TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. THIS ISSUE OCCURRED TO MANY VEHICLES AS LOW AS 35000 MILES UNDER WARRANTY AND STILL CONTINUE TO OCCUR OUT OF WARRANTY OVER 80000 MILES. I FEEL IF THEY HAD A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE, I WOULD HAVE NEVER HAD THESE ISSUES WITH MY CAR BEING STALLED AND HAVING TO REPLACE THE ECM. I RECENTLY READ AN ARTICLE IN NEWS ABOUT YOUR INVOLVEMENT IN REGARDS TO INVESTIGATION OF THIS ISSUE AND HOPE TOYOTA CAN RECOGNIZE TO ACCEPT THIS FAILED RECALL. I HAVE ALSO FOUND MANY OTHER TOYOTA CUSTOMERS WHO ARE ALL OVER THE INTERNET SHARING SIMILAR FEEDBACK. HTTP://WWW.TOYOTANATION.COM/FORUM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=201631 I AM HOPING THAT YOUR TEAM CAN HOLD TOYOTA ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS POOR DECISION OF NOT TO RECALL THIS ISSUE.

I HAVE LEASED A 2010 COROLLA IN JULY 2010 IT NOW HAS APPROX. 4200 MILES ON IT I CONTINUE TO HAVE UNEXPLAINED WHAT APPEARS TO BE ELECTRONIC OR COMPUTER SOFTWARE PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. ONE INSTANCE WAS I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE, BUT THE CAR DID NOT MOVE, BUT THE ENGINE REVVED WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL. I THEN PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND BACK INTO DRIVE AND THE CAR FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. I THEN DROVE APPROX 6 MILES ROUND TRIP AND RETURNED HOME, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, AND MY HANDS WERE TOUCHING NOTHING I WAS READING SOMETHING THAT I HAD IN MY HAND AND THE HIGH BEAMS POPPED ON THE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH, IT WAS FAIRLY LIGHT OUT SO I DON'T IMAGINE THAT IS A FEATURE, IT WAS A BIT OVERCAST AND CLOUDY. THE ODOMETER AT SOME POINT CHANGED FROM DISPLAYING MILES WITH 10THS AND ONLY DISPLAYS FULL NUMBER MILES, I THINK IT WAS AFTER I ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE ALARM BUTTON ON THE REMOTE KEY THAT IT CHANGED BUT I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE. I ALSO BELIEVE THE CAR'S COMPUTER WAS NOT PROPERLY SET UPON DELIVERY, OR THEY PUT IN A SOFTWARE UPGRADE WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE INVOICE SHOWS THEY DID A COMPUTER RESET. THE RECALL FIX HAS ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED ON THIS VEHICLE, AND I AM NOW UNABLE TO GET A RESPONSE FROM TOYOTA, I HAVE BEEN WAITING 3 DAYS SINCE I REPORTED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE, AND TODAY I CAN NOT GET THROUGH TO TOYOTA OR THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO HIGH CALL VOLUME. *TR

TOYOTA 2010 COROLLA BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WENT ON , WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITHOUT ME DOING ANYTHING. THE ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING, BRAKE, CHECK-ENGINE, PANIC MODE AND AIRBAG SYSTEM LIGHTS WENT ON. THE FAILURE HAS OCCURRED TWICE ALREADY, FIRST STARTING AS A BRAKE FAILURE, THEN ALMOST LEADING TO THE ACCIDENT WHEN EVERYTHING FAILED AT ONCE. ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT AND I COULDN'T ACCELERATE IN THE CAR. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY GAVE ME RUN AROUND, THEY STILL DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT OR WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. THIS CAR IS BEYOND UNSAFE TO DRIVE, LUCKILY IT DIDN'T LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT AND INJURIES BOTH TO ME AND OTHER DRIVERS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA LE. WHILE SITTING IDLE IN THE PARKING POSITION, THE VEHICLE MOMENTARILY LUNGED FORWARD. WHILE TRAVELING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AS LOW AS 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD VEER TO THE RIGHT. ALSO, THE KEYLESS REMOTE, WHICH ALSO ACTS AS A VEHICLE LOCATOR, WOULD ONLY OPERATE INTERMITTENTLY. OFTEN, THE VEHICLE LOCATOR ALARM WOULD GO OFF ON WITHOUT DRIVER INPUT. THE DEALER ADVISED CHANGING THE BATTERIES IN THE KEYLESS REMOTE. THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE DEALER THEN ATTEMPTED TO REPROGRAM THE KEYLESS ALARM SENSOR AND ADVISED THE LOCATOR COULD ONLY BE USED FOR SHORT-RANGE LOCATING. NO FURTHER REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 6,300. THE CONSUMER STATED THE BRAKES DID NOT PERFORM AS DESIGNED. UPDATED 07/19/10*JB

I HAVE BEEN TAKING MY COROLLA TO THE DEALERSHIP ALMOST EVERY WEEK SINCE 01/28/2010 AND EVERY WEEK I COMPLAINED ABOUT HOW THE CAR WAS DRIFTING SIDE TO SIDE AND HOW ON LOW WINDY DAYS I HAVE TO FIGHT THE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP IT IN ITS LANE AT SPEEDS ABOVE 65MPH. AND EVERY TIME I TAKE IT OVER THERE THEY SAY "WELL THE CAR IS WORKING TO FACTORY STANDARDS" AND THEY WILL SEND ME ON MY WAY. I HAVE HAD MY BRAKES BLED AND MY CAR ALIGNMENT DONE TWICE AND THE CAR ONLY HAS 2000+ MILES ON IT. SO I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FROM WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND THEY GAVE ME THIS CUST STATES VEHICLE IS ALL OVER THE ROAD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS LIKE THE COMPUTER IS DRIVING THE CAR ON ITS OWN ~|~PERFORMED HEALTH CHECK ON ALL SYSTEMS. NO TROUBLE CODES STORED. TEST DROVE VEHICLE ON 10 MILE TRIP AND ~|~VEHICLE PERFORMED AS DESIGNED AT THIS TIME. PLEASE DIRECT CUSTOMER TO TOYOTA AT 1-800-331-4331 IF THEY HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. SO I TOOK THE CAR BACK AND CALLED THE # TO THEM AND THEY SAID SINCE THE TECH COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM THEN THERE IS NO PROBLEM. BULL. SO ON 03/01/2010 I TOOK MY CAR BACK IN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE SOMEONE GO ON A DRIVE WITH ME AND I MADE SURE IT WAS A WINDY DAY SO THEY CAN SEE HOW HARD IT IS TO KEEP THE CAR CENTERED IN ITS LANE. THE MECHANIC THAT WENT WITH ME SAID OH I SEE WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT HE EVEN HAD A HARD TIME KEEPING THE CAR FROM WONDERING OFF. SO HE SAID WELL IT COULD BE THE TIRES ARE NOT TO THE RIGHT POUNDS. I SAID NOPE I HAD THE AIR DONE TO FACTORY STANDARDS OF 35PSI ALL AROUND. SO HE SAID HE WILL NEED THE CAR FOR OVER A DAY AND SCHEDULED APPT FOR ME TO COME IN I TOOK IT BACK ON 03/03/2010 AND HAVEN'T HAD MY CAR BACK SINCE THEN. THEY STILL HAVE MY CAR IN THE SHOP AS I TYPE. SO THERE IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. I FEEL LIKE I CAN HURT OR EVEN KILL SOMEONE IN THE CAR BECAUSE OF IT. I HAVE HAD MORE PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR AND ITS NOT EVEN 60 DAYS OLD YET. PLUS I ALREADY HAD THE RECALL DONE ON IT TOO. *TR

THE CAR ROAD HOME WAS MORE WORRISOME THAN HIS SURGERY! THE EPS IN THE 2010 COROLLA IS JUST AS DANGEROUS AS THE OTHER COROLLA I HAD BEFORE IT.

WHILE DRIVING A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA LE THE STEERING WHEEL UNEXPECTEDLY JERKED AWAY FROM MY CONTROL. IN ADDITION, THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKING SYSTEM IS MAKING STRANGE SOUNDS, SUCH AS HISSING, PINGS AND CRACKS. I TOOK THE CAR TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND MECHANIC STATED IT IS PROBABLY THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. HE ALSO STATED THAT TOYOTA WILL PROBABLY RECALL CAR DUE TO COMPLAINTS WITH POWERSTEERING. DUE TO THE ABOVE ISSUES AND RECENT RECALLS ON MY CAR, MY WIFE AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE AND SECURE IN CAR. WE ARE SCARED OF DYING LIKE OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS HAVE IN THE PAST.

TOYOTA COROLLA S 2010 [XXX] WITH EXTRA STABILIZER BAR KIT, PURCHASED 11-30-09 WITH DELIVERY IN 12/09. 1) APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH AFTER PURCHASE ,THE CAR STARTING TO VEER SHARPLY RIGHT THEN LEFT WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, IT WAS/IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL REQUIRING A TIGHT GRIP ON THE WHEEL. IT FEELS LIKE STRONG WINDS ARE MOVING THE CAR BUT WINDS ARE ABSENT AND ROAD CONDITIONS ARE NORMAL. THIS EVENT COMES AND GOES UNEXPECTEDLY, GENERALLY LASTS THE DURATION OF MY COMMUTE ONCE STARTED, SOMETIMES OCCURS WITH THE TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE BUT NOT ALWAYS, SOMETIMES OCCURS AFTER RAPID BRAKING. IT DOES NOT FEEL LIKE AN ALIGNMENT OR BALANCE PROBLEM, THE CAR DARTS FROM ONE END OF THE LANE, TO THE MEDIAN OF THE LANE ON ITS OWN. ON THIS DATE 2-24-10 MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP FILLED THE TIRES, AND MADE A SLIGHT CHANGE TO THE LEFT ALIGNMENT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND STATED "THIS COULD BE A MATTER OF PERSONAL PREFERENCES" REGARDING HOW I FELT THE CAR DROVE WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THE TOYOTA MANAGER ALSO TOLD ME TODAY THAT THEY UNDERSTAND "THERE COULD BE A PROBLEM BUT THEY HAVE NO DIRECTION ON HOW TO REPAIR IT." WHEN ASKED THEN IF HE COULD GUARANTEE MY SAFETY AND THAT THIS WOULD NOT OCCUR AGAIN HE STATED NO, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING FOR HIM TO DO. NO INJURIES TO DATE. I DO NOT FEEL TOYOTA IS MAKING REASONABLE EFFORTS TO QUICKLY ELIMINATE THIS PROBLEM, ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM, AND DO NOT WISH TO RESOLVE THIS WITH STATEMENTS REGARDING MY PERSONAL PREFERENCE FOR THE DRIVE, AND SINCE THIS IN THEIR OPINION IS NOT REPRODUCIBLE FOR THEM IT IS NOT A VIABLE PROBLEM FOR THEM TO REPAIR. 2) ON APPROXIMATELY 2-11-10 I HAD TO USE MY BRAKES IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION IN WHICH MY BRAKES WERE TEMPORALLY NON-RESPONSE. I HAD TO DOWNSHIFT THE GEARS, REMOVE MY FOOT TOTALLY FROM THE GAS PEDAL ,AND MANEUVERED THE CAR AWAY FROM THE OTHER STOPPED CAR. NO ABS WAS FELT, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED FULLY, THIS OCCURRED AT HWY SPEEDS. NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF PROBLEM OR REMEDY PROPOSED BY TOY CURRENTLY. *TR
