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.

WHEN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, I IMMEDIATELY FELT AN AWKWARDNESS WITH THE BRAKES. ANYTIME I BEGAN TO STOP & THE ROAD WAS LESS THAN PERFECT, THE BRAKES LOCKED UP & I SEEMED TO SLIDE TO A STOP. THE FEELING WAS ALMOST LIKE STOPPING ON GRAVEL OR HYDROPLANING, JUST NO CONTROL FELT. WHEN I COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS, I WAS TOLD THAT'S HOW THE NEW BRAKES ARE (I HAD PREVIOUSLY OWNED AN OLDER VEHICLE) & THE BRAKE INSPECTION FOUND NOTHING. I HAVE BEEN IN TWO MVAS PRIOR, ONCE I WAS REAR ENDED & THE OTHER TIME SOMEONE RAN A STOP SIGN & HIT ME. 10/12/11 I REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE & WAS ALSO REAR ENDED IN THE PROOCESS. WHEN I WENT TO BRAKE SUDDENLY THAT DAY, THE CAR SLID INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I AM A VERY CONSCIENTIOUS DRIVER. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN TOLD THAT WHEN SOMEONE REAR ENDS ANOTHER VEHICLE, IT IS AUTOMATICALLY THEIR FAULT. I HAVE SINCE PURCHASED ANOTHER NEW VEHICLE, DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER, AND BEING TOLD THE TOYOTA BRAKES WERE RIGHT, COULDN'T BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH. 10/10/11 I HAD LAB WORK PERFORMED & WAS DIAGNOSED AS BEING PREGNANT. THIS ACCIDENT TWO DAYS LATER, THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY, EITHER. THE HOOD OF THE CAR CAME IN THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD ON ME, THE CAR HAS BEEN DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. THERE WERE TWO FAULTY TOYOTA PARTS THAT FAILED ME AND MY UNBORM CHILD THAT DAY-THE BRAKES AND THE AIRBAGS. I GET TO HAVE SURGERY 10/28/11 TO REMOVE THE NOW NONVIABLE CHILD FROM MY WOMB.

AT APPROXIMATELY 0600 ON THE ABOVE DATE I EXPERIENCED A VIOLENT AND NEAR UNCONTROLLABLE MOMENTARY DISRUPTURE OF THE ABS/ESC SYSTEMS OF MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY, STEERING LOCKED AND ABS AND ESC CONTROL LIGHTS ON DASH LIT UP WHILE I WAS MAKING THE TRANSITION FROM IH37 SOUTH TO IH35 SOUTH IN SAN ANTONIO, TX. I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL BY LETTING OFF OF THE BRAKES AND THROTTLE THUS COASTING THROUGH THE LEFT HAND TURN AND BARELY MISSING THE RETAINING WALL. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, THE FIRST WAS ONLY DAYS AFTER PURCHASE OF CAR. LOCAL DEALER MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL STATED "WE CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR." DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF MCCOLLUMS TOYOTA FIVE OTHER TIMES ALL WITH THE SAME "WE CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG" REPLY. COMPLAINTS OF SOFT BRAKE PEDAL BROUGHT A SIMILAR "THAT'S NORMAL" RETORT EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS IN FOR SERVICE. AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED, FRONT ROTORS AND PADS WERE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY WERE FOUND TO HAVE WORN/GROVED APPROXIMATELY 1/8" DEEP PER SIDE (NOT REPORTED BY DEALER), NOT FROM METAL TO METAL CONTACT BUT JUST WEAR FROM PADS FRICTION MATERIAL. PADS STILL HAD 1/2" OF FRICTION MATERIAL ON EACH. REPLACEMENT OF ROTORS AND PADS FROM AUTO ZONE MADE THINGS BETTER UNTIL NOW.

HAVE NO CONTROL OF STEERING THE ALIGNMENT IS NOT CORRECT AND THE TIRES ARE BALD AFTER ROTATION EVERY 5000 MILES. DEALER SAYS THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THESE THINGS AFTER I PAID FOR EXTRA WARRANTY UP TO 100,000 MILES. GOODYEAR WILL NOT HELP WITH TIRES. TOYOTA DEALER THAT CAR WAS BOUGHT FROM SAYS THEY DO NOT COVER THIS UNDER MY WARRANTY THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN WRECKED OR ANY OTHER MISHAPS. I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN FOR THE TIRES AT 15,000 MILES TO ENSURE THEY WERE ROTATING WHEN SERVICED AND THEY ASSURED ME THEY WERE. THE TIRES ARE BALD AND TOOK TO A TIRE DEALER TO EXPRESS MY CONCERN THEY SAID THEY CAR WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT IN THE FRONT. THE DEALER THEN TOLD ME THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. I GUESS MY QUESTION IS SHOULDNT THEIR TECHNICIAN BEEN ABLE TO SEE THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE FRONT END ALIGNMENT WHEN ROTATING THE TIRES AND NOTIFIED ME OF THIS PROBLEM? ALSO THE STEERING IS OFF IT FEELS LIKE I AM HYDROPLAINING ALL THE TIME AND THAT IT IS WINDY ALL THE TIME. I HAVE NO CONTROL OF THE CAR OVER 55MPH. *TT

I AM WRITING ON BEHALF OF MY MOTHER WHO WAS INJURED IN AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT ON NOVEMBER 16, 2010. MY MOTHER WAS DRIVING A LOANER CAR PROVIDED BY A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP LOCATED IN SUFFOLK COUNTY, NEW YORK. WHEN MY MOTHER WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE OFF THE CAR LOT, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND SHE HIT AN ONCOMING VEHICLE. MY MOTHER SURFFERED A FRACTURED STERNUM AND WAS HOSPITALIZED FOR 4 DAYS. ON FEBRUARY 8, 2011, THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED FOR DEFECTS BY TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, USA. THE CONCLUSION WAS THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING PROPERLY AND, THERE WAS NO MALFUNCTIONS NOTED. PRIOR TO THE INSPECTION BY TOYOTA, MY NEPHEW LOCATED THIS SAME VEHICLE ON LINE, USING THE VIN#, IT WAS NOTED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, AND THE ACCIDENT WAS CAUSED BY ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. I AM ASKING THAT YOUR AGENCY INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER. IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS SOME DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THE CURRENT INSPECTION AND THE PREVIOUS FACTS/ACCIDENT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS VEHICLE.

THE STEERING OF THE AUTOMOBILE BECOMES DIFFICULT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE CAR CONTINUALLY DRIFTS TO THE RIGHT AND LEFT REQUIRING CONSTANT ADJUSTMENT. FREE PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL IS EXCESSIVE AND THE WHEEL IS STIFF AND UNRESPONSIVE. WINDSHIELD WIPER SPEED IS NOT FAST ENOUGH TO CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD IN DOWNPOURS.

LAST MONTH, IN JUNE, I HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. I PULLED OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND WAS NOT GOING FAST. I WAS APPROACHING A STEEP HILL AND WANTED TO BRAKE BUT I COULD NOT. IN ORDER TO STOP THE CAR AND AVOID THE HILL, I CROSSED TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET INTO SOMEONE'S LAWN IN ORDER TO GIVE THE CAR ENOUGH FRICTION TO STOP. I ENDED UP HITTING A SLOPE AND THE CAR STOPPED... BUT NOT FROM MY BRAKES. SINCE I WAS GOING VERY SLOW, NO ONE IN MY CAR WAS HURT. ONE OF THE PASSENGERS IN MY CAR TOLD ME TO TRY AGAIN. I DROVE THE CAR AROUND THE LOT AND THE BRAKES WORKED. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A MONTH AND TOYOTA RECENTLY SENT OUT A THIRD PARTY TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY SITTING ON MY DEALERSHIPS LOT. THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG BUT I AM ABSOLUTELY SURE THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG BECAUSE I PUSHED DOWN ON THE BRAKE THE ENTIRE TIME BEFORE I HIT THE SLOPE IN THE LAWN. I AM STILL WAITING TO HEAR AN OFFICIAL RESPONSE FROM TOYOTA, THE ACTUAL COMPANY. *TR

2010 TOYOTA COROLLA FIRST EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS JUNE 2010 (CAR PURCHASED MARCH 2010) ON A WARM DAY I.E. 90 DEGREES THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN, COASTS TO A STOP. STILL ABLE TO STEER TO GET OFF THE ROAD. WAIT 10 TO 15 MINUTES AND CAR WILL RESTART. THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED MY SON WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, TOTALLY SHOCKED HIM. THE NEXT TIME I WAS DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE THROUGH A CONGESTED MOUNTAIN PASS, WAS FORTUNATE THAT NO SEMI TRUCKS WERE DIRECTLY BEHIND ME AND THAT THERE WAS A SHOULDER ON THIS STRETCH. TOOK INTO DEALER AFTER SAME EXPERIENCE ON 2 TRIPS. THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE A PROBLEM. JUNE 2011 DROVE 200 MILES ON THE ROAD, THEN DROVE IN TOWN SAME DAY WITH MULTIPLE STOPS. DRIVING AT APPROX. 35 MPH, CAR JERKED, STEPPED ON GAS WITH NO RESPONSE. ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT. WITH TRAFFIC BACKING UP BEHIND US AND CAR WOULD NOT RESTART, DRIVER BEHIND US AND MY OCTOGENARIAN FATHER PUSHED THE CAR AROUND THE CORNER TO A CHURCH PARKING LOT. CALLED TRIPLE AAA FOR A TOW, AFTER WAITING A HALF HOUR TRIED TO START CAR. IT STARTED. CALLED TRIPLE AAA TO CANCEL TOW. DURING THE NEXT 1 TO 2 MILES THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN 3 MORE TIMES AND EACH TIME WAS ABLE TO COAST OUT OF THE ROADWAY. FINALLY HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER. THEY EXAMINED VEHICLE NEXT MORNING AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP ON 2010 AND 2011 TOYOTA COROLLAS IN HEAT AND AT ALTITUDE. ENGINEERS ARE WORKING ON A NEW FUEL PUMP. TOYOTA DOES NOT KNOW WHEN A NEW PUMP WILL BE AVAILABLE. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AS YOU DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE ENGINE WILL SHUT DOWN. WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE. JUST PUT ON FLASHERS AND COAST TO SIDE OF THE ROAD. OF COURSE THERE MAY NOT BE A PLACE TO PULL OVER AND WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU ARE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY WITH MANY VEHICLES GOING 70 MPH. TOYOTA KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM AND THEY ARE TELLING CUSTOMERS TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THIS DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. *TR

IN JANUARY 2011, MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA LE EXPERIENCED WHAT HAS BEEN TERMED 'SUDDEN ACCELERATION'- WHILE I WAS BRAKING, THE ACCELERATOR ENGAGED BY ITSELF, GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. MY TOYOTA COROLLA IS THE NEWER DESIGN I BELIEVE, IT HAS NAILED DOWN FLOOR MATS, AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ALREADY WORKED ON BY TOYOTA I BELIEVE IN OCTOBER 2010. I TOOK MY CAR TO TOYOTA, THEY SIMPLY ISSUED AN INSPECTION RESULT INDICATING THAT THE CAR 'CHECKED OUT TO FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS.' TOYOTA IS LYING ABOUT THE CAUSE OF SUDDEN ACCELERATION, AND CONTINUES TO DO SO. THE COMPANY WOULD RATHER SEE PEOPLE INJURED OR KILLED THAN DEAL WITH THE REAL PROBLEM(S). *TR

WE PURCHASED A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S4 IN FEB. OF THIS YEAR. I LOVED MY TOYOTA & THE GAS MILEAGE I HAS GETTING (MAJOR REASON WE BOUGHT THE COROLLA). HOWEVER, I JUST TOOK IT ON A LONG HIGHWAY/INTERSTATE DRIVE 7 HOURS THERE AND BACK. I WAS SHOCKED AT HOW THE VEHICLE HANDLED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I DID NOT FEEL SAFE GOING OVER 55 MILES AN HOUR. IF I DID NOT HOLD BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL CONSTANTLY, THE VEHICLE FELT AS IF IT SWAYING AS IF A STRONG WIND WAS PUSHING IT SIDE TO SIDE. I ALSO OWN A SUBARU FORESTER--A SMALL SUV. I HAVE OWNED IT FOR 6 YEARS AND NEVER EXPERIENCED ON THE HIGHWAY WHAT I DID WITH THE TOYOTA COROLLA. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED AND DISMAYED. *TR
