Air bags, frontal, driver side, inflator moduleApr 9, 2014
Toyota is recalling certain model year 2006-2008 RAV4, 2006-2010 Yaris, 2008-2010 Highlander, and 2009-2010 Tacoma, Corolla, Corolla Matrix and General Motors Pontiac Vibe vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the steering column assembly contains electrical connections to the driver's airbag module housed in a spiral cable assembly, which includes a Flexible Flat Cable (FFC). Due to the shape and location of the FFC's retainer, the FFC could become damaged when the steering wheel is turned.
If the FFC is damaged, connectivity to the driver's air bag module could be lost and the air bag deactivated. The failure of the driver's air bag to deploy in the event of a crash that typically necessitates deployment increases the risk of injury to the driver.
Toyota will notify the Toyota vehicle owners, and General Motors will notify the Pontiac Vibe owners. Toyota sent owners an interim notification letter in May 2014 to advise owners of the recall. Toyota will mail owners a second letter when remedy parts are available. General Motors sent Pontiac Vibe owners an Interim letter on June 20, 2014 notifying them that parts are currently unavailable. General Motors sent notices to the Pontiac Vibe owners on September 15, 2014, that a remedy is available. The recall began on October 27, 2014. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.

IN THIS CONDITION, IF CONDENSATION OCCURS ON THE SURFACE, AS MAY OCCUR FROM HEATER OPERATION (WITHOUT A/C) WHEN THE PEDAL ASSEMBLY IS COLD, THE FRICTION WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS OPERATED MAY INCREASE, WHICH MAY RESULT IN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECOMING HARDER TO DEPRESS, SLOWER TO RETURN, OR, IN THE WORST CASE, MECHANICALLY STUCK IN A PARTIALLY DEPRESSED POSITION.
THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL MAY BECOME HARD TO DEPRESS, SLOW TO RETURN TO IDLE, OR, IN THE WORST CASE, MECHANICALLY STUCK IN A PARTIALLY DEPRESSED POSITION, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

FEB. 14 2010, I BOUGHT NEW TOYOTA COROLLA 2010. I DIDN'T TEST THIS CAR( I TRUSTED THE QUALITY OF TOYOTA), AND THAN I DROVE IT HOME. ON THE WAY, I FELT SOMETHING WRONG ABOUT THE STEERING WHEEL. WHEN I WAS DRIVING, THE STEERING WHEEL IS VERY DIFFICULT TO BE CONTRAL. PULL RIGHT OR LEFT SIDE A LITTLE, STEERING WHEEL CANOT TURN BACK. WHEN I AM DRIVING, I HAVE TO USE TWO HANDS HOLD TTHE STEERING WHEEL ALL THE TIME, I FEEL VERY HEAVY, UNCOMFORTABLE, DANGER, TIRED. I TEST THIS CAR ON THE HIGHWAY, IT CAN'T GO STRAIGHT EVEN IN 2 SECONDS!! FEB. 15 2010, MY WIFE BROUGHT THIS CAR TO DEALER, THEY TOLD MY WIFE CAN'T RETURN IT, BUT CAN CHANGE IT NEXT DAY. I THOUGHT ONLY THIS CAR NO GOOD, SO I AGREED TO CHANGE IT. FEB. 16 2010, MY WIFE AND ME WENT TO THE DEALER AND CHANGED ANOTHER CAR. I TESTED IT AND FELT BETTER THAN THE FIRST ONE. BUT AFTER 2 DAYS, THE SAME PROBLEM COMING, RIGHT NOW I CAN'T RETURN IT. I CALL THE DEALER THEY TOLD ME ALL THE SAME, THAT IS NOT PROBLEM!!!. I AM NOT PROFESSOR TO CAR, I AM JUST BUYER. I FEEL THIS STEERING WHEEL OF TOYOTA 2010 COROLLA VERY BAD AND DRIVING DANGER. *TR

STEERING AND GAS THROTTLE PROBLEM. SOMETIMES HAVING DIFFICULTIES STEERING THE VEHICLE STRAIGHT AND IT FEELS LIKE YOU 'RE NOT IN CONTROL WITH THE WHEEL. EVEN SOMETIMES AT LOWER SPEED. REGARDING GAS THROTTLE THERE ARE TIMES THAT THE GAS PEDAL IS NOT RESPONDING WHILE YOU ARE STEEPING THE GAS PEDAL. IT'S LIKE DRIVING ON A NEUTRAL GEAR. WE HAVE NOT REPORTED THE STEERING PROBLEM BUT WE HAVE REPORTED THE GAS PEDAL ISSUE TWICE TO THE DEALER. IT SO HAPPEN THAT THE 2ND COMPLAIN WE DID WAS THE TIME THEY STARTED DOING THE RECALL. GAS PEDAL WHERE CHANGE AS THE RECALL REQUIRED.THE STEERING PROBLEM IS NOW A NEWER CONCERN FOR US. WE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM WITH STEERING BEFORE BUT WE JUST IGNORE IT. BECAUSE IT'S BEEN RAINING IN OUR AREA DURING THE FAST FEW WEEKS. WE WHERE THINKING THAT THE ROADS ARE JUST WET AND SOMEWHAT IT IS SLIPPERY TO DRIVE BUT EVEN THE WEATHER HAD CHANGED WE SOMETIMES EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING. LAST ENCOUNTER WITH THE STEERING PROBLEM IS TODAY(02/20/2010). *TR

PURCHASED A NEW 2010 COROLLA 4-DOOR SEDAN S; IMMEDIATELY A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES AND STEERING WAS NOTICED UPON FIRST LONG DRIVE. WHEN DEPRESSED THE BRAKES WOULD GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. STEERING THE CAR IN A STRAIGHT LINE DOWN THE FREEWAY WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT CONSTANT CORRECTIONS, I CALL IT NERVOUS STEERING, WHICH AFTER MORE THAN 50 MILES BECAUSE VERY STRESSFUL AND TIRING. PURCHASE DATE 8-22-09. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE NEAREST TOYOTA DEALERSHIP LOCATED IN VICTORVILLE, CALIFORNIA EARLY SEPT 09. THE BRAKES WERE EXAMINED AND AFTER CERTAIN CORRECTIONS THE BRAKE PEDAL IS BETTER BUT NOT PERFECT. AS FOR THE STEERING..THE TECHNICIAN SAYS IT'S WITHIN NORMAL PARAMETERS...WHAT EVERY THAT MEANS. THERE IS DEFINITELY A DEFECT WITH THE STEERING SYSTEM; AFTER REVIEWING THE VEHICLE BROCHURE REGARDING THE STEERING SYSTEM IT READS "ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) HELPS GIVES COROLLA STEERING RESPONSE THAT'S EFFORTLESSLY ACCURATE" HOWEVER NOTHING COULD MORE FROM THE TRUTH. IT'S BEEN MY EXPERIENCE AFTER 7000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER...THAT WHEN STEERING THE CAR DOWN THE HIGHWAY...THE CAR WILL LITERALLY LEAVE THE LANE YOUR DRIVING IN WHICH REQUIRES STEERING CORRECTION TO KEEP IT IN THE DRIVING LANE YOU'RE TRAVELING. THE BROCHURE FURTHER READS THAT "EPS ALSO ELIMINATES HYDRAULIC-ASSIST COMPONENTS THAT CAN REDUCE FUEL ECONOMY" HOWEVER I WOULD SAY AT WHAT COST...IF THIS NEW SYSTEM RENDERS THE STEERING PROCESS A VERY NERVOUS AND TIRING EXPERIENCE FOR THE DRIVER. A FATIGUED DRIVER IS AN UNSAFE DRIVER...I CREDIT THE FAULT WITH THIS NEW SYSTEM "EPS" AS A POTENTIAL DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN. IT'S MY ASSESSMENT AFTER OWNING THIS VEHICLE NOW 6 MONTHS...THAT TOYOTA NEEDS TO REVISIT THIS "EPS" SYSTEM AND CONSIDER RETURNING TO THE FORMER HYDRAULIC-ASSIST COMPONENTS...IT MAY MORE COSTLY FOR THEM TO BUILD...BUT AT LEAST IT WORKED. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE IT HAD A REPUTATION FOR SAFETY AND RELIABILITY HOWEVER IT'S BEEN THE ABSOLUTE WORST PURCHASE EVER IMAGINED. *TR

CAR DOES WANDER WHILE HOLDING STEERING WHEEL STEADY. IT CAN GO EITHER TO THE LEFT OR TO THE RIGHT WHILE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW ON NOVEMBER 2 2009. I DIDN'T PAY MUCH ATTENTION TO THE PROBLEM TILL A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER AFTER I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. I HAVE NOT CARRIED THE VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER FOR THE PROBLEM. *TR

I RECENTLY LEASED A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO. MY PROBLEM IS OVER THE STEERING OF THE VEHICLE, I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR OVER 12 YEARS NOW, AND THIS VEHICLE IS TOTALLY UNSTABLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FROM 40MPH AND ABOVE. WHEN I SAY UNSTABLE I MEAN THE STEERING IS TOO LIGHT FOR FEEL, AND THE CAR HAS A HORRIBLE TENDENCY TO SWAY INTO ANOTHER LANE. EVERY HIGHWAY TRIP IS A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS ADVENTURE. I READ THAT THIS MAY BE BECAUSE OF ELECTRIC STEERING INSTALLED ON RECENT MODEL COROLLAS...I AM AT A LOSS BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THE DEALER IS GOING TO DO ANYTHING FOR THE STEERING, AND I REALLY HAVE A STRONG FEELING IT IS NOT THE TIRES OR BRAKES THAT TOYOTA IS CLAIMING, THAT AFFECTS THE STEERING. I FEEL THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO WORK THERE WAY AROUND THIS ISSUE. I NEED HELP AS I HAVE JUST GOT INTO MY LEASE, OVERALL I STILL THINK ITS A GOOD CAR BUT NOT WITH THIS STEERING, IT TRULY IS SCARY TO DRIVE ON ANY HIGHWAY. *TR

WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR IT'S 3 MONTH CHECKUP, I INFORMED THEM THAT I WAS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES AND THE STEERING. I TOLD THEM THAT THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT IS OUT OF ALIGNMENT BECAUSE WHEN DRIVING OVER 45MPH THE CAR PULLS TO ONE SIDE AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO KEEP IN A SINGLE LANE ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN I DESCRIBED THE BRAKING ISSUES WITH THE CAR, THEY TOLD ME THAT "THE BRAKES ARE DIFFERENT THAN WHAT I HAVE BEEN USED TO WITH OTHER VEHICLES. THE BRAKES DON'T SEEM TO ENGAGE UNTIL THE PEDAL IS AT THE FLOOR BOARD. WHEN THEY WERE READY TO TURN THE CAR BACK OVER TO ME THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY DID AN ALIGNMENT ON THE CAR AND THAT THEY ADJUSTED THE REAR BRAKES AND BLED THE LINES. I NOTICED THAT WHEN THEY "TEST DROVE" THE CAR THEY ONLY WENT 3 MILES. THAT DISTANCE, IN THE PART OF TOWN WHERE THE DEALER IS LOCATED DOESN'T EVEN GET THE CAR UP TO 40 MPH. THE ORIGINAL COMPLAINT OF THE CAR DRIFTING IS STILL THERE. NOW THE BRAKES HOP AND CHATTER WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AT SPEEDS OF APPX 45 MPH, AND WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR TENDS TO CREEP FORWARD EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKES ARE FULLY ENGAGED. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE SOLELY ON THE TOYOTA REPUTATION, AND NOW I AM SORRY THAT I DID. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE ON NOVEMBER 2,2009 AND AM STILL WAITING TO HEAR ANYTHING FROM TOYOTA REGARDING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL RECALL/REPAIR. I SHOULD HAVE GONE WITH MY FIRST INSTINCT AND BOUGHT THE DODGE INSTEAD OF THE TOYOTA. *TR
