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.

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

BOUGHT NEW DEC 18, 2009. TOYOTA COROLLA LE 14 MILES. WHEN YOU GO TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. THE ENGINE SOME TIMES ACTS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL. YOU TOUCH THE BRAKES JUST AS YOU COME TO A DEAD STOP. THE ENGINE RPMS WILL DROP TO ABOUT 300 RPMS THE ENGINE WILL SHUTTER ALL MOST DIE AND THEN GO BACK TO NORMAL RPMS ABOUT 500 TO 600 HUNDRED. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. YOU CAN NOT MAKE THE CAR DO THIS. YOU MAY DRIVE IT 5 TIMES AND IT WILL NOT DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT. YOU DRIVE IT THE NEXT TIME AND IT WILL DO IT THREE TIMES IN A ROLL WHEN YOU STOP. IT HAS DONE THIS FROM THE TIME IT WAS NEW. *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

I JUST TOOK MY BRAND NEW 2010 COROLLA ON THE HIGHWAY FOR THE FIRST TIME LAST WEEKEND. IT WAS AS IF WIND WAS BLOWING THE CAR BACK AND FORTH. IF YOU LEFT THE WHEEL IN ONE PLACE, THE CAR WOULD STILL VEER AS IF YOU WERE SLIGHTLY TURNING THE WHEEL ONE WAY OR THE OTHER (CONSTANT CORRECTION REQUIRED). ALSO, ON THE TRIP BACK I HAD A FULL CAR WITH 5 NORMAL SIZED INDIVIDUALS. THE CAR VEERING WAS MUCH WORSE. IT WAS AS IF THE TIRES WERE VERY LOW ALSO. JUST A FEELING OF NOT HAVING CONTROL OVER THE CAR. *TR

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

THE CONSUMER STATED HE WAS BACKING OUT OF HIS GARAGE, WHEN HALF WAY DOWN THE DRIVEWAY, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. HE APPLIED THE BRAKE, BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND.

THE SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN THE CONSUMER WAS BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPACE, AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED, BUT WHEN HE APPLIED THE BRAKE, NOTHING HAPPENED. INSTEAD, IT KEPT GOING UNTIL HE HIT A TRUCK THAT WAS DOUBLE PARKED BEHIND HIM. AS THE CONSUMER PU THE GEAR INTO PARK, SO HE COULD TALK TO THE OWNER OF THE TRUCK, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN, ALMOST HITTING THE PARK VEHICLE IN FRONT OF THE CONSUMER. AS HE REPEATEDLY APPLIED THE BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE, NOTHING HAPPENED SO HE FORCED THE GEAR TO PARK AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND FINALLY THE VEHICLE STOPPED. THE CONSUMER STATED HIS RIGHT WRIST WAS A LITTLE SORE FROM FORCING THE GEAR INTO PARK AND HE COULDN'T LIFT ANYTHING FOR A DAY OR TWO. JB

I OWN A 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA WITH 19,000 MILES. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN TWICE FOR A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES. I HAVE OWNED MANY CARS BUT NONE HAVE EVER FELT SO UNRESPONSIVE WHEN YOU HIT THE BRAKES, ESPECIALLY IN THE EVENT OF A FAST STOP. THE DEALERS TELL ME THIS IS NORMAL FOR VACUUM ASSISTED BRAKES. A BRAKE PEDAL THAT GOES ALMOST TO THE FLOOR WHEN STOPPING AND REQUIRES DANGEROUS DISTANCES TO FULLY STOP IS NOT NORMAL, AND IF TOYOTA HAS DESIGNED THE SYSTEM TO FUNCTION LIKE THIS THEY HAVE A BAD DESIGN FOR A MAJOR VEHICLE SAFETY FUNCTION. THE BRAKING SYSTEM IN THE 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA MAY BE A DANGEROUS DESIGN FLAW. YOU MAY NEED TO EVALUATE THIS FUNCTION OF THE TOYOTA. *TR

I AM A NEW OWNER OF A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. I AM EXPERIENCING STEERING PROBLEMS ON THE EXPRESSWAY WHERE THE CAR WANTS TO DRIFT FROM SIDE TO SIDE AND REQUIRES CONSTANT CORRECTION BY THE DRIVER TO MAINTAIN PROPER CONTROL. THIS IS AN ONGOING OCCURRENCE AND NOT DUE TO ANY PARTICULAR ROAD CONDITIONS. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND THEY SAID THAT THEY HAVE NOT HAD ANY OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS EVEN THOUGH RESEARCHING THE INTERNET I FOUND THAT OTHERS WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. IT ALSO STATED THAT THERE WERE LESS THAN 100 COMPLAINTS, SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT I REPORTED MINE. *TR
