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.

1. 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S WAS PURCHASED FROM A TOYOTA DEALER WITH 8 MILES. RIGHT AFTER GOING OFF THE LOT, AND ONTO THE FREEWAY, CAR WAS UNSTABLE. EVEN IF YOU HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL STRAIGHT, THE CAR WANTS TO JUMP LEFT AND RIGHT RANDOMLY. BASICALLY IT IS UNSTABLE. 2. CAR IS UNSTABLE AND REQUIRES MORE THAN NORMAL CONCENTRATION AND MORE EFFORT TO DRIVE STRAIGHT, AS CAR DOES NOT TRACK STRAIGHT. 3. VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO DEALER WITH APPROXIMATELY 185 MILES. TEST DROVE WITH TECHNICIAN, WHO SAID IT VEERS SLIGHTLY RIGHT. ALIGNMENT WAS DONE. THE FRONT WAS OFF BY A BIT AND CORRECTED. BUT REAR OF CAR WAS OUT OF SPEC WITH REGARDS TO LEFT AND RIGHT TOE. BASICALLY BOTH REAR WHEELS FACING TOWARDS THE LEFT. TOYOTA DEALER SAID THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. I BRING IN A TOYOTA TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN THAT ADDRESSES ON-CENTER STEERING FEEL. THE DOCUMENT REQUIRES ALIGNMENT DONE, THEN POWER-STEERING ECU REPLACED. MY ECU IS THEN REPLACED AT THE DEALERSHIP, BUT ALIGNMENT IN REAR IS NOT ADJUSTED, SINCE THE DEALER SAID IT IS NOT ADJUSTABLE. THEY GIVE ME BACK THE CAR WITH THE NEW ECU EVEN IF REAR TOE IS OFF ALONG WITH TOTAL REAR CAMBER. THEY ALSO SAY THAT TOTAL REAR TOE IS CORRECT AT .38 DEG, BUT EVEN IF LEFT AND RIGHT REAR TOE IS OFF, AS LONG AS TOTAL REAR TOE IS GOOD, CAR IS WITHIN TOYOTA SPECIFICATIONS AND TOLERANCES. I DO NOT AGREE WITH THE STATEMENT. IF LEFT AND RIGHT TOES ARE OFF, THEN CAR IS NOT ALIGNED. RIGHT REAR TOE IS OUT OF SPEC BY .15 DEGREES WHILE LEFT REAR TOE IS OFF BY -.09 DEGREES. I TAKE THE CAR AND DRIVE IT FOR 1 DAY AND A HALF, AND THE CAR VEERS RIGHT ON THE FREEWAY. IF IT HITS A BUMP ON A TURN, IT USUALLY MAKES THE CAR WANT TO JUMP RIGHT. BASICALLY PROVING THAT THE REAR TOE IS OUT OF SPECIFICATIONS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V023000 (VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL: ACCELERATOR PEDAL). THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REPAIRS, THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE INTERMITTENTLY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A COMPLETE STOP OR WHEN ACCELERATING WHILE IN MOTION AT LOW SPEEDS. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO APPLY MORE FORCE TO THE PEDAL BUT THE VEHICLE WAS HESITANT TO INCREASE IN SPEED. IN ADDITION, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS MODIFIED WHEN REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL AND THE CONTACT STATED IT WAS DIFFICULT TO APPLY PRESSURE TO THE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THEY COULD INSTALL A NEW ACCELERATOR PEDAL BUT THE DEALER WAS UNSURE IF THE REPAIR WOULD CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE DEALER RESET THE INTERNAL COMPUTER BUT DID NOT MAKE ANY REPAIRS TO THE PEDAL ITSELF. THE FAILURES CONTINUED TO RECUR INTERMITTENTLY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,630 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 7,444. UPDATED 12/01/10. *LJ THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WANDERS ALL OVER THE ROAD. UPDATED 12/13/10

I'M ALSO MAKING A FOLLOWUP TO MY ORIGINAL COMPLAINT #10302584. THESE COROLLA'S HAVE A SERIOUS BUILT IN PROBLEM! YOU (ODI) STARTED AN INVESTIGATION IN FEB. STATING 168 COMPLAINTS ON THE STEERING IN 09 AND 10 COROLLAS, THERE ARE NOW ALMOST 500!!! 95% OF THEM SAY THE SAME THING! CAR WANDERS, FEELS LIKE IT'S WINDY WHEN IT'S NOT, CAR STEERS ON ITS OWN, WANDERS BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT, FEELS LIKE IT',HYDROPLANING, CONSTANT CORRECTION NEEDED, FEELS LIKE I DON'T HAVE CONTROL, AND ON AND ON AND ON. WHY DON'T YOU HAVE TOYOTA SEND A QUESTIONNAIRE OUT TO COROLLA OWNERS AND ASK THEM HOW THEIR CAR DRIVES ON THE HIGHWAY? I SAW A FRIEND DRIVING ONE ALMOST IDENTICAL TO MINE TODAY AND ASKED HIM HOW HIS HANDLED ON THE ROAD AND HE DESCRIBED THE SAME FEELING. I SUGGESTED HE TELL THE DEALER AND ALSO FILE A REPORT ON THIS SITE. THE DEALER SAYS TOYOTA IS INVESTIGATING BUT NOTHING IS HAPPENING YET. COULDN'T ODI SPEED THIS UP A LITTLE. I TOOK MINE IN AT 400 MILES AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG AND OFFERED ME 14000 TRADE IN AGAINST A USED CAMRY (I PAID 17800) NOW , AT 7000 MILES THEY OFFER 12500 I'M BLEEDING BAD AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. PLEASE HELP ME AND OTHER COROLLA OWNERS. THANKS FOR LISTENING TO MY RANT. *TR

LETTER FROM SENATOR TESTER ON BEHALF OF CONSTITUENT RE TOYOTA (DIRECT RESPONSE TO BILLINGS OFFICE) THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD DRIFT OUT OF THE LANE HE WAS DRIVING IN. THE VEHICLE PULLED TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT AT TIMES. DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER, THE VEHICLE WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER. AT LOW SPEEDS THE VEHICLE STEERED FINE, BUT IT WAS HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHERE THERE WAS A PROBLEM. THE DEALER PATCHED A TIRE AND ROTATED THEM, BUT THE STEERING PROBLEM CONTINUED. ANOTHER DEALER DISCOVERED ONE OF THE TIRES HAD 5 PSI MORE THAN THE OTHER TIRES, THEY ALSO MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO THE REAR END. THE CONSUMER WAS THEN ADVISED TO PUT WEIGHT IN THE TRUNK AND TO GET SNOW TIRES. AFTER THE WORK WAS COMPLETED IT SEEMED A LITTLE BETTER, BUT THE VEHICLE STILL WANDERED INTO THE NEXT LANE. THE CONSUMER WENT BACK TO THE FIRST DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE STEERING ISSUE WAS A DESIGN PROBLEM AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. *JB

BOUGHT A 2010 COROLLA ON 12/26/09 WITH GOODYEAR EAGLE LS 2 TIRES. UPON DRIVING HOME MY STEERING WAS WEAVING LEFT TO RIGHT FELT AS THOUGH I WAS DRIVING ON ICE AND/OR HYDROPLANING. TOYOTA REGIONAL REP CAME FROM CORPORATE, LOOKED AT THE STEERING 2 WKS AGO. STEERING IMPROVED UNTIL DRIVING IN RAIN ON 4/4/10 THE STEERING BECAME LOOSE AND THE CAR WAS WEAVING LEFT TO RIGHT AND I WAS ONCE AGAIN HYDROPLANING AT 65 MPH GOODYEAR MAN SAID WHEN TRACTION IS LOST TO THE ROAD, THE VEHICLE WILL HYDROPLANE. (THESE TIRES ARE DANGEROUS) *TR THE CONSUMER STATED IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE STEERING. THE VEHICLE WOULD WANDER INTO THE NEXT LANE. THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THE VEHICLE DID NOT ALWAYS STOP IN TIME WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH ABS AND THEY WERE MUCH BETTER AND SAFER.

I BOUGHT A TOYOTA COROLLA 2010 LE ON 04/03/2010, AND WHEN I DROVE IT ON THE FREEWAY FIRST TIME, I WAS SHOCKED/SCARED THE WAY WAS STEERING/HANDLING. I ALMOST HAD TWO ACCIDENTS WITH IT BECAUSE OF THE STEERING ISSUE. WHEN I DROVE IT ON THE FREEWAY I SAW THAT THE CAR IS LOOSING BALANCE (THE BACK CAR SHAKES), I FOUND STABILITY PROBLEMS (AS IF I DRIVE IN STRONG WINDS), AND BIG STEERING PROBLEMS (AS I LEARN TO DRIVE A TRICKY BICYCLE). TO GET AND MAINTAIN AN ALMOST CONTROL ON THE CAR DIRECTION I HAVE TO FOCUS MY ACTIONS AS MY COROLLA HAS ONLY TWO WHEELS LIKE A BIKE. I ALMOST ACT AS AN EQUILIBRATE FOR A ROPE DANCING. THE EXPERIENCE OF DRIVING MY COROLLA SHOWED THAT I HAVE LIMITED CONTROL OVER IT, AND MOST CONTROL I LOST WHEN I HAD TO USE SUDDEN BRAKES AT HIGH SPEED - IT WAS LIKE ON THE ICE. BACK JUMPS AND I STIR IN SAME DIRECTION; BACK JUMPS AGAIN IN THE OTHER DIRECTION AND I CHANGE THE STEERING IN THE OTHER DIRECTION TOO, AND SO ON. THESE EVENTS OCCUR ALMOST EVERY TIME I DROVE WITH SPEED AROUND 60 MILES/HOUR ON THE FREEWAYS THAT ARE NOT STRAIGHT. THE CONSEQUENCE IS THAT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY NEW CAR BECAUSE I AM NOT ABLE TO CONTROL IT, AND I RISK AN ACCIDENT. I WENT TO TOYOTA DEALER, THEY SAID THAT THEY KNOW THE SITUATION FROM OTHER CUSTOMERS TOO, BUT NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUES UNTIL IS NOT TOO LATE, AND PEOPLE MAKE ACCIDENTS AND INJURE. THANK YOU. *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
