  8. 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.

    DRIVING 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA MANUAL TRANS ON INTERSTATE ON 8/2/10 AT 2:30 P.M. HAD CRUISE CONTROL ON GOING 70 MPH. ENGAGED CLUTCH, SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL AND BRAKED IN PREPARATION TO STOP FOR TRAFFIC JAM AHEAD. BRAKE DID NOT ENGAGE AND VEHICLE CONTINUED AT 70 MPH WITHOUT TOUCHING ACCELERATOR. CONTINUED ATTEMPTS TO BRAKE, DOWNSHIFT, TURN OFF CRUISE CONTROL WITH NO DECREASE IN SPEED. INITIALLY UNABLE TO DOWNSHIFT BUT THEN DID GET INTO LOWER GEAR BUT WITH NO RESULTING DECREASE IN SPEED, NOR DID THE ENGINE MAKE ANY NOISE INDICATING THAT I HAD DOWNSHIFTED. I WAS ABLE TO GET ONTO SHOULDER WHERE I CONTINUED TO GO 70 MPH.I THEN GOT OFF AT AN EXIT THAT HAD AN INCLINE. PART WAY UP THE HILL FELT SOMETHING DISENGAGE AND THE CAR SLOWED- NOT JUST DUE TO THE INCLINE I THINK. I WAS THEN ABLE TO PUT ON EMERGENCY BRAKE AND THE CAR STOPPED. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES I TRIED THE BRAKES AGAIN AND THEY WORKED. I DID NOT REENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL AFTER THIS. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS OCCURRED AFTER I HAD TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR BOTH TOYOTA RECOMMENDED RECALLS REGARDING THE FLOOR MATS AND PUTTING A MODIFICATION IN THE GAS PEDAL. WHEN I WENT IN FOR RECALLS I ASKED ABOUT PLACEMENT OF A COMPUTER BRAKE OVERRIDE SYSTEM AND WAS FIRST TOLD THAT FIX WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE, THEN TOLD IT WAS NOT RELEVANT TO MY CAR, AND, AFTER THE ABOVE EVENT TOLD AGAIN THAT TOYOTA DID NOT YET HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE TO DO THIS FIX ON COROLLAS. THE DEALERSHIP HAVE THUS FAR BEEN UNPLEASANT AND SUGGESTING THAT I MIGHT NOT BE TELLING THE TRUTH. *TR

    I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA DOWN THE ROAD. WHEN I BEGAN TO APPROACH A RED LIGHT AT INTERSECTION, I APPLIED BRAKES TO SLOW VEHICLE DOWN. INSTEAD OF SLOWING DOWN, HOWEVER, THE CAR BEGAN TO RAPIDLY ACCELERATE. THIS REQUIRED ME TO PASS TWO VEHICLES WAITING AT RED LIGHT IN ORDER TO AVOID COLLISION. REMEMBERING WHAT TOYOTA CO SAID TO DO WHEN THEIR VEHICLES ARE SPEEDING OUT OF CONTROL, I PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL AND CONTINUED TO APPLY BRAKES, WHICH HAD NO EFFECT WHATSOEVER. I CONTINUED TO SPEED DOWN DOUBLE-LINED ROAD, PASSING VEHICLES IN MY LANE. THEN WHEN OTHER VEHICLES WERE COMING IN OTHER LANE IN MY DIRECTION, I WAS FORCED TO SLAM FULL SPEED INTO VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME IN MY LANE. THIS CAUSED MY VEHICLE AND THAT VEHICLE TO ROLL OVER. WHEN MY FAMILY AND I HAD FIRST HEARD OF THE RECALLS WITH TOYOTA IN FEBRUARY OF 2010, WE IMMEDIATELY TOOK CAR TO TOYOTA DEALER IN FL WHERE WE VACATIONED FOR THE WINTER. WE WERE ASSURED THAT SINCE OUR VIN# INDICATED IT WAS JAPANESE-MADE, WE WERE NOT PART OF THE STICKING ACCELERATOR RECALL. THEY TOLD US TO REMOVE DRIVER-SIDE FLOORMAT ANYWAY, WHICH WE IMMEDIATELY DID. AS YOU CAN SEE, WE TOOK EVERY PRECAUTION POSSIBLE, AND AS MY CAR WAS CAREENING OUT OF CONTROL, I DID EVERYTHING I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO AND IT DID NOT MATTER. AND PLEASE DO NOT INSULT VICTIMS OF THESE TRAGEDIES BY INDICATING THAT IT IS POSSIBLY DRIVER ERROR. CLEARLY THERE IS SOMETHING MAJOR WRONG HERE AND THESE VEHICLES NEED TO BE TAKEN OFF THE ROAD. *TR

    ON JULY 6, 2010, I WAS DRIVING ON I-95 SOUTH NEAR THE IVES DAIRY RD. EXIT. I DRIVE A TOYOTA COROLLA '10 LE. I WAS GOING BETWEEN 65-70 MPH AND WAS IN THE NEXT TO LAST LANE. AT APPROXIMATELY 6:45AM, THE CAR'S RPM JUMPED FROM 2000-3000 TO 5000-6000. AT THIS POINT, I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL...THE CAR SLOWED DOWN AUTOMATICALLY ON ITS OWN. THEN, THE RPM'S JUMPED BACK DOWN TO 2000-3000. I HAD TO CROSS THREE LANES IN ORDER TO PULL OVER. WHILE I WAS TRYING TO PULL OVER, THE CAR WAS GOING VERY SLOW, BUT THE RPM'S WERE JUMPING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN 2000-3000 TO 5000-6000. THIS OCCURRED WHILE MY FOOT WAS OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND WHILE IT WAS HOVERING OVER THE BRAKE PEDAL. I DID NOT PRESS THE BRAKES BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO COME TO A FULL STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF FAST MOVING TRAFFIC ON I-95. THIS EVENT OCCURRED A TOTAL OF THREE TIMES BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF THE CAR. THE SOUND THE CAR WAS MAKING WAS AS IF I WERE TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND FLOOR THE GAS PEDAL. I HAD NOT DONE ANY OF THIS DURING THE INCIDENT. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE FOR 10 MINUTES, AND I RESTARTED THE CAR. I SLOWLY MADE MY WAY TO MY PARENTS HOUSE NEARBY. *TR

    I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT IN RESPONSE TO A RECALL NOTICE I JUST RECEIVED FROM TOYOTA. THE NOTICE SAYS TOYOTA WILL MODIFY MY ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND FLOOR SURFACE IN THE DRIVER'S FOOTWELL. HOWEVER, THE RECALL DOES NOT INCLUDE PROVIDING MY RECALLED 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA WITH A BRAKE OVERRIDE SYSTEM. ACCORDING TO JAMES LENTZ, PRESIDENT OF TOYOTA USA, IN HIS TESTIMONY BEFORE CONGRESS (FEBRUARY 23, 2010), TOYOTA PROMISED TO INSTALL BRAKE OVERRIDE SYSTEMS IN RECALLED VEHICLES. MY FRIEND WHO OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY DID GET A BRAKE OVERRIDE SYSTEM, WHICH ENSURES THAT HE CAN STOP HIS VEHICLE NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. TOYOTA SHOULD INSTALL A BRAKE OVERRIDE SYSTEM ON MY RECALLED VEHICLE, TOO--OTHERWISE MY CAR IS NOT AS SAFE AS OTHER RECALLED VEHICLES. HOWEVER, WHEN I CALLED TOYOTA ABOUT THIS, THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE NOT GOING TO INSTALL BRAKE OVERRIDE SYSTEMS ON COROLLAS. THIS IS WRONG AND NHTSA SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. *TR

    MY TOYOTA 2010 COROLLA HAS BEEN RECALLED ONCE AND THE TOYOTA DEALER SAID THAT THEY DID SOMETHING ON THE BRAKE, BUT I TOLD THEM THE PROBLEM WITH MY NEW TOYOTA 2010 COROLLA IS THE NOISE SOUND WHENEVER I PUSH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. ESPECIALLY WHENEVER I PUSH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IT MAKES A BELL SOUND. I REPORTED TO TOYOTA DEALER 3 TIMES AND THEY SAID IT IS AIR SOUND. I AM NOT ENGINEER BUT I THINK I KNOW WHAT IS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AIR SOUND AND BELL SOUND. NOW THE TOYOTA SENT ME AND SAID THAT ANOTHER POSSIBILITY OF RECALL ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. I THINK THERE IS A REAL PROBLEM ON THIS CAR. I AM SCARE DRIVING THE NEW CAR. WHAT CAN I DO? I ASKED THE TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT "NOTHING WE CAN DO." IN TERMS OF SAFETY, I REALLY CONCERN THIS IS NOT JUSTMY PROBLEM BUT OUR CITIZEN'S SAFETY PROBLEM. THE WORST THING IS WHEN I DRIVE ON THE HIGH WAY. IT IS LIKE ALMOST 15 YEARS OLD CAR. THE SOUND LIKE A CRACKING AND I REALLY DOES NOT WANT TO DRIVE MY NEW TOYOTA 2010 COROLLA ON THE HIGH WAY. NOW THEY JUST SENT ME A MEMO AND IT SAID THAT THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF RECALL ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL PROBLEM. WHAT CAN I DO? *TR
