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.

I HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA THAT IS PART OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL REINFORCEMENT BAR RECALL/INSTALLATION. I HAVE NOTICED ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT APPEARS TO ALSO INVOLVE THE ACCELERATOR. THIS VEHICLE HAS A 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THE PROBLEM OCCURS IN BOTH 3RD AND 4TH GEAR. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT CONSISTENT MEANING IT IS NOT ALWAYS NOTICED EVERY TIME I DRIVE, I WOULD MAINTAIN THAT IT OCCURS AT LEAST 50% OF THE TIME HOWEVER. PROBLEM: I ATTEMPT TO MAINTAIN A CONSTANT SPEED FOR INSTANCE IN 3RD GEAR AT 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE FEELS AS IF IT WANTS TO SPEED UP, I THEN REMOVE SOME PRESSURE FROM THE ACCELERATOR, THE VEHICLE THEN SLOW BY JERKING, I THEN ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE AND THE VEHICLE JERKS AGAIN, BOTTOM LINE IS I CAN NOT MAINTAIN A CONSTANT SPEED. THE ROAD CONDITIONS DO NOT MATTER, FLAT, HILL, BUMPY, SMOOTH, WET DRY, 30 MPH, 31 MPH, 32, MPH ETC. I CANNOT MAINTAIN A CONSTANT SPEED IN 3RD AND 4TH GEAR. I AM NOT SURE OF AN APPROXIMATE DATE, IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN AUGUST OF 2009. I WILL JUST ENTER A RANDOM DATE BELOW. *TR

ON MONDAY (MARCH 1ST) TOYOTA SERVICE CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THAT ACCORDING TO TOYOTA ENGINEERS' REPORT, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE GAS PEDAL AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT THE CAR. TOYOTA'S OFFICIAL EXPLANATION IS 'OPERATING AS DESIGNED, THE ECM WILL COMMAND HIGH IDLE AT TIMES FOR PROPER EMISSIONS SYSTEM OPERATION' THIS EXPLANATION DOES NOT MAKE SENSE SINCE THERE IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE HERE; I AM DRIVING THE CAR IN THE 5TH GEAR AND AROUND 3000 RPM. WHEN I NEED A SUDDEN STOP, I LET GO THE GAS PEDAL AND HIT THE BREAK. THE ECM 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. *TR

1. REGULAR DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITION, SOMETIMES FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, SOMETIMES FOR A FEW SECONDS. 2. SPEED CONTROL DOES NOT SEEM TO BE CONSISTENT. RPM METER WOULD GO ABOVE NORMAL 2000 REVS PER MINUTE EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS IN NEUTRAL. 3. WAS REPAIRED BY DEALER AS PART OF THE GAS PEDAL RECALL. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. 4. I DO NOT THINK IT HAS TO DO WITH THE GAS PEDAL, IT APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE CONTROL AS THE RPM METER CLEARLY SHOWS THE REVS ARE WAY HIGHER THAN NORMAL. IN FACT, AFTER THE GAS PEDAL RECALL REPAIR, OUR 4 MONTHS CAR NOW BURNS MORE GAS THAN BEFORE. *TR

I HIT MY BRAKE SLIGHTLY TO SLOW DOWN MY CAR DID NOT EVEN CHANGE SPEED, I TRIED COUPLE TIMES NOTHING HAPPENED. THEN I DECIDED TO STEP ON THE BRAKE ALL THE WAY MY CAR DID NOT CHANGE THE SPEED AT ALL IT WAS GOING AT THE SAME SPEED. MY CAR WAS TRAVELING STRAIGHT ROAD FOR 7-8 SECONDS, THEN I HAD TO MAKE A QUICK DECISION SO I WILL NOT HIT THE CARS THAT WAS ONFRONT OF ME(THEY WERE STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD FOR SOME REASON) BECAUSE I WAS GETTING TOO CLOSE. I DECIDED TO GET BACK TO HIGHWAY SO I WILLNOT HIT ANYONE. BUT AFTER I TRIED TO GET BACK TO THE HIGHWAY I TOTALLY LOST MY CONTROL OF THE CAR.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I AM CONTACTING YOU REGARDING A COMPLAINT WITH MY 2010 COROLLA. I FIRST CALLED THE NHTSA 800 NUMBER WITH THIS WRITTEN COMPLAINT AND WAS TOLD I WOULD RECEIVE A HARD COPY IN TWO WEEKS (I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE IT). SO ONCE AGAIN I AM PUTTING THIS COMPLAINT IN WRITING, SO I HAVE PROOF THAT IT WAS FILED AND SENT. I HOPE THAT SOMETHING GETS DONE WITH IT ONCE AND FOR ALL. THE COMPLAINT IS REGARDING TOYOTA'S NEW PEDAL RECALL PART. IT DOES NOT CORRECT THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM. MY CAR ACCELERATED OVER 80 MPH ON FEB.12,2010. TOYOTA PUT IN THE RECALL PEDAL THAT MORNING AFTER I BROUGHT THE CAR THERE. ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK ON FEB 12, THE CAR EXHIBITED MORE ACCELERATION ISSUES. THAT WAS WHEN I CALLED TO REPORT IT WITH THE NHTSA. THE CAR THEN ACCELERATED AGAIN ON FEB15 WITH THE NEW"PEDAL RECALL IN". I WAS DRIVING UP A LONG ONRAMP ONTO THE INTERSTATE AT APPROX. 35-40 MPH, AND THE CAR TOOK OFF TO OVER 80 MPH. I WAS INJURED. I CALLED AGAIN TO YOUR AGENCY TO REPORT THIS ON FEB15TH. I GOT THE CAR BACK FROM TOYOTA ON FEB 19TH. THEY SAID "THE CAR WAS FINE. IT IS NORMAL FOR COROLLAS TO ACCELERATE TO 80 MPH". THAT IS TOTAL BULL! THE CAR'S PEDAL STARTED STICKING ON SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 21. THIS CALLED MORE RPM & ACCELERATION PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. ALSO THE BRAKES ARE GOING DOWN TO THE FLOOR. THE CAR HAS GONE THRU A 5 WAY INTERSECTIONS STOP LIGHT AND A STOP SIGN. I HAVE HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR. *TR
