NHTSA complaint #11757109 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

My 2010 Toyota Corolla is experiencing progressive paint failure due to a known manufacturer defect involving factory-applied Blizzard Pearl or Super White paint. The affected component is the factory paint system, specifically the adhesion between the topcoat and primer, which is failing and causing the paint to peel off in sheets from exterior body panels. The defective paint is available for inspection upon request. This condition creates a potential safety concern, as sections of paint may detach while the vehicle is in motion, creating debris that could pose a hazard to surrounding motorists. In addition, exposed underlying surfaces may become more susceptible to corrosion over time, which could affect the integrity of exterior body panels. The issue was previously confirmed by an authorized dealership during inspections conducted under the manufacturer’s Customer Support Program for paint peeling on vehicles equipped with Blizzard Pearl or Super White paint. During the active coverage period, only certain visibly affected panels were refinished, while other factory-painted panels were left untreated. Since the program has expired, the previously untreated panels are now exhibiting the same paint peeling and failure that the program was intended to address. The paint deterioration developed gradually over time and was not the result of external damage. No warning lamps or messages were present prior to the failure.

I DELIVER FOR DOORDASH AND I WAS MAKING MY THIRD DELIVERY OF THE MORNING. AS I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT TO PARK MY CAR I TRIED TO OUT MY CAR INTO PARK LIKE I HAD BEEN ALL MORNING EXCEPT THIS TIME I COULDN'T PUT MY CAR INTO PARK. AFTER I FINISHED THE DELIVERY I WENT BACK OUT TO MY CAR TO GET BACK ON THE ROAD AND I COULDN'T TAKE MY CAR OUT OF PARK. IT FELT LIKE SOMETHING WAS JAMMED AND THE GEAR STUCK WOULD BARELY BUDGE. MY FIRST INSTINCT WAS TO LOOK ONLINE TO SEE IF THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER CARS LIKE MINE AND MANY ARTICLES POPPED UP OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING HAPPENING TO THEIR CAR. MY CAR HAS ZERO PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION, GEAR BOX OR ANYTHING IN THE PAST AND IT'S NEVER MADE ANY ODD NOISES EITHER. I BELIEVE THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR AND NOT SOMETHING THAT I CAUSED.

I WILL START BY SAYING THAT I HAVE A TOYOTA COROLLA 2010. ON FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 13,2016 WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN A STREET ABOUT 20/30 MPH MY CAR STARTED ACCELERATING BY ITSELF, I TRIED TO STOP BY PRESSING THE BRAKE, BUT THE CAR KEPT GOING, THEN I MOVED THE HANDLE ON PARKING, THE CAR WOULDN'T RESPOND UNTIL I PULL THE HAND BRAKE. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED TOYOTA AND EXPLAINED TO THEM WHAT HAPPEN. QUICKLY THEY SENT A TOW TRUCK TO PICK UP MY CAR TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG. THEY GAVE ME A LOANER FOR THE DAY. THE PERSON AT THE DEALER TOLD ME THEY WILL CONTACT ME THE NEXT DAY AND WE COULD TAKE IT FROM THERE. NOBODY CALLED SO AROUND 3PM I CALLED ASKING THEY SAID THEY HAVEN'T HEAR FROM CORPORATION AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW. I ASK ABOUT THE LOANER CAR. THEY SAID NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT. THE SAME THING HAPPENS THE NEXT DAY. I CALLED THEY SAY NOT TO WORRY ABOUT THE CAR AND THAT THEY WILL CALL ME IF THEY HAVE ANY NEWS ON MY CAR. ON FRIDAY AROUND 4:50 THE SERVICE MANAGER CALLED ME AND SAID THAT TOYOTA CORPORATION HAD CONCLUDED THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THEY SAID I COULD PICK UP MY CAR AND PAY FOR THE RENTAL CAR AND THE INSPECTION OF THE CAR. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF ANY OF YOU OR KNOW SOMEONE WHO HAD SOMETHING SIMILAR HAPPENED.

I HAVE GRANDKIDS WHO GETS IN THE CAR ALSO MY JOB REQUIRES ME TO DRIVE PATIENTS IN MY CAR.

TO TOYOTA : SENDING OUT AN INTERIM RECALL NOTICE #16V-340 SAYING YOU ARE PREPARING A REMEDY IS NOT SATISFACTORY THIS RECALL HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR MONTHS AND A REMEDY SHOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN COMPLETED. TOYOTA HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO PREPARE THIS REMEDY. ADVISING OWNERS NOT TO DRIVE VEHICLE WITH PASSENGERS IN FRONT IS CERTAINLY NOT CONDUCIVE WHEN YOU ONLY HAVE ONE VEHICLE TO USE. YOU SHOULD PROVIDE ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE MEANTIME.

WHILE DRIVING ON ROUTE 30 EAST IN PA, I EXPERIENCED A SCENARIO WHERE I WAS ON CRUISE CONTROL AND PRESSED THE BRAKE. THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AT IT'S SPEED AND SUBSEQUENT PRESSINGS OF THE BRAKES DID NOT SLOW THE CAR. I SHIFTED THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND THE BRAKES STILL WERE NOT SLOWING THE CAR ENOUGH. I HAD TO DRIVE INTO THE LEFT SHOULDER AND GRASS BEYOND THAT IN ORDER TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN ENOUGH TO LET OTHER CARS PASS SO I COULD GO INTO THE RIGHT LANE. THE NEXT BUSINESS I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND AFTER DRIVING 7 MILES AND LOOKING FOR ERROR CODES, REPORTED THAT THEY "COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE ISSUE". MY CAR ALREADY HAD ALL THE FIXES FOR THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION ISSUE THAT TOYOTA HAD A NUMBER OF RECALLS FOR DONE IN DECEMBER 2013. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE FURTHER INVESTIGATED BY TOYOTA BECAUSE IF THE REPORTED FIXES DO NOT WORK, THEN THERE COULD BE A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS/FATALITIES YET TO COME. I NEVER HAD EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE BEFORE.
