  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. 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.

Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) Number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."

    An inaccurate label could lead to owners overloading their vehicles and tires. An overloaded vehicle can result in a tire failure which may result in a vehicle crash, personal injury, or property damage.

    Southeast Toyota will notify owners and provide a corrected label with instructions concerning its installation. A small group of the affected vehicles will need additonal remedies which are still being developed. The recall began on May 28, 2013. Owners may contact Southeast Toyota at 1-800-301-6859.

    WHILE DRIVING MY COROLLA, EVEN I DO NOT HIT THE GAS PEDAL, THE RPM STAYS AROUND 2000 AND SOMETIMES IT STARTED TO STUCK AROUND 3000 RPM FOR 15 TO 30 SECONDS THAN GOES TO NORMAL. I HAD DIFFICULTY TO SLOW DOWN IN BUSY TRAFFIC, BECAUSE EVEN I HIT THE BRAKES IT DOES NOT CUT THE GAS SO THE ENGINE STILL TRIES TO RUN AND THE CAR STILL TENDS TO GO, SO I AM NOT ABLE TO SLOW DOWN OR IT TAKES TIME TO SLOW DOWN. I AM DRIVING MY TOYOTA IN THE 5TH GEAR AND AROUND 3000 RPM. WHEN I NEED A SUDDEN STOP, I LET GO THE GAS PEDAL AND HIT THE BRAKE. THE ETCS COMMANDS HIGH IDLE EVEN I HIT THE BREAKS; THE PISTONS ARE STILL WORKING (THE ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING IN GEAR) WITH 3000 RPM SO I AM NOT ABLE TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. HOW COME ECM WOULD COMMAND FOR HIGH IDLE FROM TIME TO TIME? HOW CAN I STOP THE CAR OR SLOW DOWN IN NEED WHILE ECM IS COMMANDING HIGH IDLE? IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE A PROPER CONTROL ON THE CAR WHEN ECM COMMANDS HIGH IDLE. WHO CAN GIVE ME GUARANTEE THAT IT WOULD NOT GET STUCK IN HIGHER IDLES? (BECAUSE IT USED TO STUCK AROUND 2000 RPM AND RIGHT NOW IT ALSO STARTED STICKING AROUND 3000 RPM). WHEN I GET CLOSE TO A CURB OR TO AN EXIT I STOP HITTING THE GAS PEDAL ASSUMING THE CAR WILL GET SLOW BUT SINCE IT STICKS AT HIGH RPMS THE CAR DOES NOT GET SLOWER WHEN IT IS IN THE GEAR. *TR

  9. Steering, Suspension, Vehicle speed control, Electronic stability control (ESC), Apr 10, 2010

    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

THEY SIMPLY SAID, THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO IF YOU HAVE NO OTHER MEAN TO COMMUTE ITS UPTO YOU AND IF YOU WANT YOU CALL TOYOTA HEAD QUARTERS FOR THIS. I EVEN SPENT LOT OF TIME IN CALLING MAIN TOYOTA NR BUT SIMPLY I GET VOICE MESSAGE THAT "THERE IS HUGE VOLUME OF CALL WAITING PLEASE WAIT". I REALLY WONDER WHEN I/ANYONE BUY A CAR FROM DEALER AND IF THEY CANNOT RECEIVE ME ASSIST ME PROPERLY "WHERE FROM I GET THE JUSTICE????".

WITH THIS I'M DAY BY DAY GETTING DEPRESSED AS I SPENT QUITE LOT OF SAVINGS (MONEY) ON THE CAR TO AVOID ANY HASSLES BUYING A USED CAR, BUT UNFORTUNATELY ITS A DISASTER TO ME. I REQUEST TO PROVIDE ME NEEDED SOLUTION TO FIX MY DEPRESSING SITUATION. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
