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

THE BRAKING ON MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA LE SEEMS TO BE DEFECTIVE. WHEN APPROACHING ANY TYPE OF CHANGE IN THE ROAD SURFACE THAT REQUIRES ME TO PUT MY FOOT LIGHTLY ON THE BRAKE A VIBRATION AND WEIRD FEELING IN THE BRAKE PEDAL TAKE PLACE. IT'S STARTLING WHEN IT HAPPENS. MY WIFE HAS EXPERIENCED IT FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE AND IS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I'VE EXPRESSED MY CONCERN TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAY IT'S NORMAL. VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS CAR . I BOUGHT A TOYOTA FOR IT'S SAFETY AND RELIABILITY SO FAR I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED.

TOYOTA RECALL,HOW CAN YOU EXPECT US TO BRING OUR VEHICLE IN FOR THIS RECALL TO PUT ON PRECISION-CUT STEEL REINFORCEMENT BAR ON ACCELERATOR WHEN CEO OF TOYOTA CAN'T GUARANTEE THE PROBLEM WILL NOT BE SOLVED? THIS WAS STATED ON NATION WIDE TV. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED FOR MY COLLEGE STUDENT DAUGHTER AND I WILL NOT LET HER DRIVE IT AS I DO NOT FEEL SHE WILL BE SAFE. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?

I BOUGHT A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA FOR MY AWAY-FROM-HOME COLLEGE-STUDENT DAUGHTER. WE WERE AWARE OF THE FLOORMAT PROBLEM WHEN WE BOUGHT THE CAR AND TOOK DELIVERY ON OCTOBER 28, 2009. THE ACCELERATOR ISSUE BECAME KNOWN IN JANUARY, 2010. THE POWER STEERING ISSUE JUST BECAME PUBLIC THIS WEEK. I DROVE THE CAR FOR TWO WEEKS AFTER TAKING DELIVERY TO CHECK IT OUT FOR ANY MANUFACTURING DEFECTS AND TO BREAK IT IN. I DID NOT NOTICE ANY UNUSUAL BEHAVIORS FOR ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS WHILE DRIVING AROUND TOWN DURING THIS BREAK-IN PERIOD. HOWEVER, I DID NOTICE WHEN I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE DELIVERING THE CAR TO MY DAUGHTER THAT THE ELECTRICALLY-ASSISTED POWER STEERING HAD AN UNUSUAL VAGUENESS TO IT. THE CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS BEING BUFFETED BY HIGH WIND OR TURBULENCE FROM FOLLOWING A TRACTOR-TRAILER TOO CLOSELY, EVEN THOUGH THE WIND WAS CALM AND THERE WERE NO TRUCKS WITHIN ONE MILE OF ME. AS I MADE VERY MINOR COURSE CORRECTIONS AS THE ROAD CURVED OR TO CHANGE LANES, IT FELT LIKE THE STEERING WAS BEING OVER-BOOSTED, WHICH CAUSED A BIGGER PATH CORRECTION THAN INTENDED OR EXPECTED. THEN I GOT A SIMILAR REACTION IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION WHEN I TRIED TO CORRECT THE OVER-CORRECTION. I THINK IT WOULD BE FAIR TO SAY THAT THE STEERING WHEEL FELT AS IF IT WAS CONNECTED TO THE FRONT WHEELS WITH A ROPE. THE CAR HAS GOODYEAR EAGLE RS-A TIRES; I HAVE HAD SEVERAL SETS OF THESE TIRES OF DIFFERENT SIZES IN THE PAST, AND DON'T BELIEVE THEY ARE A PROBLEM. I HAVE DRIVEN OTHER VEHICLES WITH ELECTRICALLY-BOOSTED POWER STEERING AND AND I DON'T RECALL SUCH BEHAVIOR. INDEED, I HAVE A CLASS B CDL TO DRIVE MOTORCOACHES AND THE OLDER ONES WITH OVER 1/2 MILLION MILES ON THEM HAVE MORE DIRECT STEERING. THIS SITUATION HAS NOT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT; I JUST WANT TO WEIGH IN ON THE POTENTIAL PROBLEM. I HAVE OFFERED MY DAUGHTER ANOTHER CAR TO DRIVE, BUT SHE INSISTS ON DRIVING THE COROLLA.

I WAS MAKING A ROUTINE TURN AND LOST CONTROL OF STEERING. IT ONLY HAPPENED THE ONE TIME, POLICE REPORT SAID CAR ROLLED TWO OR THREE TIMES, TOTAL LOSS TO CAR AND INJURY TO DRIVER. I DON'T REMEMBER EXACTLY THE CAUSE OTHER THAN I LOST CONTROL. CAN'T SAY ANY OF THE RECALLS DID OR DID NOT CAUSE THE ACCIDENT. MY PRIMARY COMPLAINT IS THAT I PAID FOR FRONT AND SIDE AIRBAGS, AND NONE DEPLOYED ON A CAR THAT ROLLED TWO OR THREE TIMES. WHY AM I PAYING FOR EQUIPMENT THAT IS NOT EFFECTIVE? IF A CAR ROLLS OVER AT MINIMUM THE SIDE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. I WOULD ALSO THINK THIS WOULD TRIGGER THE OTHER AIR BAGS. WITH ALL THE RECALLS HOW WOULD WE KNOW IF ANY OF THESE CONTRIBUTED TO THE CRASH? I UNDERSTAND THE ROLLOVER RATING APPLIES TO THE STABILITY OF THE CAR, BUT RATING THE SAFETY IN A ROLLOVER ACCIDENT SHOULD ALSO BE RATED. WHY DON'T AIR BAGS DEPLOY AUTOMATICALLY WHEN CAR HITS SIDES OR THE ROOF? WE PAID FOR SAFETY AND RELIABILITY OF THE TOYOTA, BUT IT APPEARS THAT THE EXTRA MONEY IS WASTED.

2010 TOYOTA COROLLA LOOSE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOORMAT BETWEEN LODGED BETWEEN BRAKE PEDAL AND ACCELERATOR CAUSES CAR TO ACCELERATE WHILE TRYING TO STOP. ALREADY CAUSED TWO REAR-END COLLISIONS. FACTORY-PROVIDED FLOOR MAT AND HOLDDOWN CLIPS WERE NEVER INSTALLED BY THE FACTORY OR THE DEALER. WE WERE UNSUCCESSFUL IN GETTING ANY HELP FROM TOYOTA SALES, USA, OR RICE TOYOTA, LOCAL DEALER.
