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.

TOYOTA COROLLA DIFFICULT STEERING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. STEERING "STICKS" IN POSITION WHEN CORRECTING AND REQUIRES CONSTANT RE-CORRECTION. CAR DOES NOT SELF CENTER UPON LEAVING CURVES. WHEN CORRECTING TO THE LEFT, CAR WILL CLIMB OVER CROWN INTO ON-COMING LANE UNLESS RE-CORRECTED. DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE CAR GOING STRAIGHT, REQUIRES CONSTANT ATTENTION AND IS FATIGUING. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 COROLLA 4 DR LE MODEL, WHICH I BOUGHT IN JULY 2009. I CONTINUE TO NOTICE THAT THE CAR "WANDERS" ON THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING; GENERALLY IT IS REALLY NOTICEABLE ABOUT 50 MPH. WHEN THERE ARE WINDY CONDITIONS (FREQUENT IN KANSAS), I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY CORRECT MY DIRECTION OF TRAVEL SINCE THE WIND EXACERBATES THE WANDERING OF THE VEHICLE. I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS DUE TO THE CROWN OF THE PARTICULAR ROAD, BUT IT DOES IT ON ALL ROADS. MY WIFE HAS DRIVEN THE CAR AND NOTICED THE SAME THING. I HAVE NOT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, BUT IT CONCERNS ME THAT A CAR WOULD NOT DRIVE IN A REASONABLE STRAIGHT LINE. THIS IS THE VERY FIRST CAR I'VE EVER OWNED THAT DID IT; IT IS NOT THE FIRST TOYOTA I'VE EVER OWNED, AND HAVE NEVER EVER HAD SUCH A PROBLEM. I CANNOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE OF INCIDENT, AS IT DOES IT ALL THE TIME, SO I WILL INDICATE THE DELIVERY DATE OF THE VEHICLE TO ME. *TR

IN MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA XLE WITH 2382 MILES ON IT, I EXPERIENCED BRAKE FAILURE AND DIFFICULTY STEERING WHILE DESCENDING DOWN A SLIGHT GRADE. THERE WAS NO BRAKING ACTION WHEN I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL AS FAR AS IT COULD GO. SIMULTANEOUSLY HEARD A LOUD SCRAPING SOUND AND DETECTED AN ODOR. REPORTED INCIDENT TO THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY. *TR

2010 COROLLA IS UNSTABLE AT SPEED OVER APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH. THE CAR WANDERS DANGEROUSLY TO LEFT AND RIGHT, BEING PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE TO ANY CROSS WIND OR TURBULENCE FROM OTHER VEHICLES. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO USE ANY VEHICLE CONTROLS (SUCH AS TURNING ON THE DEFROSTER) WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITHOUT HAVING THE CAR VEER SUDDENLY OFF COURSE. THE CAR FEELS AS IF IT IS MISSING A SUSPENSION COMPONENT IN THE FRONT END- THERE IS A DANGEROUS LACK OF STABILITY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I EVEN PURCHASED NEW TIRES AFTER ONLY 2000 MILES IN AN ATTEMPT TO ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM, BUT IT IS THE CAR AND NOT THE TIRES CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR

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

2010 TOYOTA COROLLA "S" PURCHASED BY MY WIFE IN JULY 2009, WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . SHE DRIVES THE CAR ONLY LOCALLY ON SUBURBAN STREETS, AT SPEEDS LESS THAN 45 MPH, AND HAS PLACED LESS THAN 3000 MILES ON THE CAR IN 7 MONTHS. RECENTLY WE TOOK THE CAR FOR A 'ROAD TRIP' OF ABOUT 175 MILES EACH WAY, WITH ME DRIVING. THIS CAR DOES NOT "STEER" PROPERLY ON THE HIGHWAY, IF "PROPER" MEANS THAT IT FOLLOWS THE DRIVERS INPUT AND CONTROL MOVEMENTS. AT LOW SPEEDS IT SEEMS THAT THE STEERING WHEEL MOVES EASILY LIKE MOST CARS WITH POWER STEERING, AND THE CAR FOLLOWS THE STEERING WHEEL MOVEMENTS FAIRLY WELL. BUT AT SPEEDS OVER 50 MPH THE STEERING WHEEL SEEMS TO "LOCK" INTO A POSITION AND RESISTS BEING MOVED TO EITHER SIDE UNTIL EXCESSIVE FORCE IS APPLIED, SEVERAL POUNDS OF FORCE I WOULD SAY, THEN THE STEERING WHEEL JUMPS TO A NEW POSITION AND THE CAR TAKES OFF TO THAT SIDE, REQUIRING ANOTHER HARD PULL ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO TRY TO GO BACK TOWARD CENTER. I HAD TO FIGHT THIS CAR FOR THREE HOURS EACH WAY ON THE HIGHWAY, AND THE SLIGHTEST INATTENTION WAS LIKELY TO RESULT IN THE CAR HEADING FOR ONE EDGE OR THE OTHER OF THE LANE, SINCE IT SEEMS TO PERIODICALLY JUST "DRIFT" OFF PATH FOR NO APPARENT REASON-- NO CHANGE IN ROAD SLOPE OR GEOMETRY, BUT THE CAR WOULD START MOVING TOWARD ONE SIDE OF THE OTHER. (TIRE PRESSURES WERE CHECKED BEFORE THE TRIP). OUR FAMILY HAS OWNED 6 TOYOTAS BEFORE THIS ONE, AND NONE OF THEM HAS EVER HAD THE LACK OF RESPONSE AND "WANDERING" PROBLEMS OF THIS CAR. WE STILL OWN A 1992 CELICA, WHICH IS A COROLLA IN A SPORTY BODY STYLE, AND IT "TRACKS" BEAUTIFULLY TO THE DRIVERS CONTROL, WITH OVER 200,000 MILES ON IT. I THINK THAT IF A CAR HAD A STEERING SYSTEM WITH APPARENT LOOSENESS IN IT THAT WOULD DUPLICATE THE SIDE DIRECTIONS OF THIS COROLLA, WHILE THE STEERING WHEEL IS NOT BEING MOVED FROM STRAIGHT AHEAD, THAT CAR WOULD NOT PASS ITS ANNUAL SAFETY TEST IN THIS STATE. THIS CAR REQUIRES A CONSTANT STRUGGLE TO KEEP IT IN ITS LANE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS BRAND NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA FOR MY DAUGHTER. WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OF 65 MPH OR HIGHER, THE VEHICLE WANDERS. IT CONSTANTLY FEELS LIKE SUDDEN GUSTS OF WIND ARE PUSHING THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE DRIVING LANE. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNNERVING. I AM A CAPTAIN WITH A MAJOR AIRLINE, AND I TOOK THE CAR OUT TO GET A SENSE OF WHAT MY DAUGHTER HAS EXPLAINED TO ME. IN 31 YEARS OF FLYING, I HAVE NEVER FELT MORE INSECURE IN A VEHICLE. I AM AFRAID TO RELAX. I UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR VIGILANCE WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. DRIVING THIS VEHICLE REQUIRES SO MUCH CONCENTRATION THAT WHAT SHOULD BE A SIMPLE 4 HOUR DRIVE FROM MY DAUGHTER'S COLLEGE TO HER HOME IS EXHAUSTING. *TR

ON MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA, AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (65-70 MPH), THE VEHICLE WILL FEEL AS THOUGH THE STEERING IS LOOSE...LIKE I'M GOING OVER A METAL-GRATE BRIDGE, WHERE THE CAR MOVES SIDEWAYS ON IT'S OWN. I DRIVE APPROXIMATELY 100 HIGHWAY MILES A DAY, AND THIS IS A DAILY OCCURRENCE. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO TOYOTA ON 3/4/10, BUT THEY CLAIM THEY DO NOT FEEL THE STEERING PROBLEM. I DON'T FEEL IT WAS SUFFICIENTLY TESTED, AS THEY DID NOT DO ANY HIGHWAY DRIVING. THEY'VE DISMISSED MY FEARS AND WILL NOT BE CORRECTING THE PROBLEM. *TR

I FIND IT VERY DIFFICULT TO TRACK THE VEHICLE IN A STRAIGHT LINE ON AN OPEN ROAD IN WINDY OR UNEVEN ROAD CONDITIONS. THERE IS VERY LITTLE OR NO FEEDBACK THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE DEMANDS YOUR FULL ATTENTION UNDER THESE CONDITIONS MAKING IT VERY TIRING AND IN MY OPINION SOMEWHAT UNSAFE AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 50MPH. SEEMS TO BE OK OR BETTER AT LOW SPEEDS SUCH AS IN RESIDENTIAL OR CITY ENVIRONMENTS. THESE CONCERNS WERE REPORTED TO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND IN THE NEW CAR FEEDBACK FORM I RECEIVED FROM THE MANUFACTURER. I RECEIVED NO FEEDBACK FROM THE MANUFACTURER ON THAT SURVEY AND THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED THE STEERING AND WHEEL ALIGNMENT WERE WITHIN TOLERANCES. I DID HOWEVER GET THE FOLLOWING HINTS FROM TWO DIFFERENT SALES REPRESENTATIVES , OVER INFLATE THE TIRES, LOOK FURTHER UP THE ROAD ,PUT SOME WEIGHT IN THE TRUNK, NONE OF WHICH I EMPLOYED. RIDICULOUS!!! *TR

SINCE DELIVERY, MY NEW 2010 COROLLA HAS HAD A STEERING PROBLEM. IT VEERS OR WANDERS TO THE LEFT OR FIGHT RANDOMLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (65-75MPH). NOT THE ALIGNMENT. VERY DANGEROUS IF THERE ARE OTHER VEHICLES BESIDE YOU. IS NOT DUE TO THE WIND - OCCURS ON WINDLESS DAYS. HAVE OWNED 25 CARS IN 50 YEARS, SOME TOYOTAS; THIS IS THE WORST - WILL NOT STAY STRAIGHT; BOTH DANGEROUS AND FATIGUING TO DRIVE. MUST FULLY FOCUS AND MAKE CONSTANT CORRECTIONS TO TRACK STRAIGHT. RECALL! UNSAFE! *TR
