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.

2010 TOYOTA COROLLA - THE CAR HAS POOR STEERING. IT DRIFTS ALL OVER THE HIGHWAY. REQUIRES CONSTANT CORRECTION LIKE I AM DRIVING IN HEAVY WINDS. I BROUGHT IT INTO A TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY CLAIM THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THEY SAY I NEED TO GET USED TO ELCTRONIC ASSISTED STEERING. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT FOR FOUR MONTHS NOW, AND I CANNOT "GET USED TO IT".

I HAVE OWNED MY NEW 2010 COROLLA FOR SIX MONTHS. TODAY, MY TECHNICIAN FOUND THE CRANK SENSOR WAS LEAKING OIL. TOYOTA DEALER WILL EXAMINE MY CAR THIS EVENING. I SEE THAT IN 2006, THIS TOYOTA PART WAS RECALLED ON THE ECHO. I AM SUSPICIOUS THAT THIS LATER MODEL IS FAILING IN THE SAME WAY.

I HAD A MINOR ACCIDENT ON MARCH 3RD 2010 THAT INVOLVED MY OTHER VEHICHLE, AS I WAS PUTTING MY COROLLA INTO REVERSE & IT JUMPED HARD BACKWARDS LIKE IT WAS PROPELLED I HAD BARELY TAPPED THE GAS, THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR BUMPER HIT MY OTHER CAR THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THAT ONE BUT MY COROLLA SUBSTAINTED A MINOR BUT BIG ENOUGH DENT TO THE LOWER BACK BUMPER, I CALLED THE POLICE MADE A REPORT AND NOW I AM WAITING ON SOMEONE FROM TOYOTA TO GET BACK TO MY HUSBAND AND I TO GET THIS COROLLA INSPECTED, IT CAN'T BE REPAIRED IN THE BACK UNTIL THAT IS DONE! MY HUSBAND HAS ON MANY OCCASIONS HIMSELF FELT THE CAR SURGE WHEN STEPPING ON THE PEDAL ITS HAPPENED TO HIM BACKING UP, GOING FORWARD AND DRIVING DOWN MAIN ROADS! MY CAR IS BRAND NEW THE VALUE OF IT AND WHAT WE PAY MAKES ME SICK TO EVEN KNOW THESE THINGS ARE HAPPENING! I LOVE MY TOYOTA AND HAD A BRAND NEW 2009 YARIS FOR YEAR BEFORE WE TRADED IT IN ON THIS! ANYHOW MY DEALER 'FIXED' THE PEDAL BUT THE PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE FIX. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY CAN DO.

2010 TOYOTA COROLLA LE WHICH SUDDENLY VEERS LEFT OR RIGHT AT HIGH SPEEDS (45MPH OR GREATER). WHILE HOLDING THE STEERING WHEEL PERFECTLY STRAIGHT, THE CAR WILL WANDER LEFT OR RIGHT CAUSING THE DRIVER TO CORRECT THE STEERING AND PAY EXCESSIVE ATTENTION TO SIMPLY KEEPING THE CAR IN ITS OWN LANE. THIS OCCURS ALL THE TIME WHEN DRIVING ABOVE 45MPH. NO ACCIDENT HAS TAKEN PLACE, BUT I FEAR FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY MEMBERS WHO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, WE HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR SPARINGLY OR ONLY FOR LOCAL DESTINATIONS WHICH DO NOT REQUIRE TAKING A HIGHWAY. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP WHERE THE SERVICE ADVISOR ADMITTED THAT THE STEERING IS "TOO SENSITIVE" CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO "WANDER" AND THAT WHILE THERE IS "NO FIX FOR IT YET [HE] HOPES FOR A FIX SOON." REGARDLESS OF THESE STATEMENTS, HE WROTE ON MY SERVICE PAPERS THAT THE VEHICLE "ROAD TESTED NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC." A MONTH LATER, I CALLED THE SERVICE ADVISOR AGAIN TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTING. I REQUESTED TO BRING IN THE CAR FOR AN ADDITIONAL REVIEW OF THE PROBLEM. HE DENIED MY REQUEST BY STATING THAT "THERE'S NO POINT IN BRINGING IN THE CAR UNTIL A FIX IS ISSUED." I THEN BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP, WHICH WAS NOT HELPFUL AT ALL. THEY OUTRIGHT DENIED MY CLAIM THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND STATED ON MY SERVICE PAPERWORK THAT THE "VEHICLE DRIVES NORMAL" AND THAT THEY "CANNOT DUPLICATE THE CUSTOMER CONCERN." NO FIX HAS BEEN DONE AND THE VEHICLE SITS IN THE GARAGE VIRTUALLY UNTOUCHED (LESS THAN 800 MILES) WHEN IT WAS BOUGHT OVER 3 MONTHS AGO. *CN

WHILE DRIVING MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE CAR DRIFTS UNPREDICTABLY AND SUDDENLY, WITH NO APPARENT CAUSE. I HAVE NOTICED THIS AS AN ISSUE SINCE SOON AFTER PURCHASING IT IN JULY 2009. AS A RESULT OF THESE STEERING ISSUES, I HAVE OFTEN COME FRIGHTENINGLY CLOSE TO CARS IN THE LANES ON EITHER SIDE OF ME, AND I AM AFRAID THAT THIS WILL ACTUALLY CAUSE A HIGH SPEED ACCIDENT AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE.

WE PURCHASED A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. WE DID NOT NOTICE THE POWER STEERING PROBLEM RIGHT AWAY. AFTER DRIVING IT FOR ABOUT A WEEK THE POWER STEERING WOULD START FLOATING WHEN THE WHEEL WOULD BE STRAIGHT. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IF YOU DO NOT HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL TIGHT THE VEHICLE FLOATS INTO OTHER LANES AND ONTO THE SHOULDER. I HAVE TAKEN IT TWICE TO THE DEALERSHIP NOW JUST TO BE TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE IS WITHIN THEIR REQUIREMENTS AND THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING. THEY REFUSE TO ADMIT THAT SOMETHING MAY BE WRONG AND STATE THAT THE COROLLA NOW HAS ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING WHICH IS WHY IT FEELS THAT WAY. NO CAR SHOULD STEER YOU OFF THE ROADWAY WHEN IT IS DRIVING STRAIGHT. THIS IS NOT NORMAL AND TOYOTA IS REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM. NO ONE HAS BEEN INJURED YET AND NO ACCIDENTS HAVE HAPPENED BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO CONSTANTLY KEEP CORRECTING THE WHEEL WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING.

MONDAY MARCH 22 I TOOK MY WIFE TO DUKE MEDICAL CENTER FOR AN APPOINTMENT,. I PULLED INTO THE PARKING DECK AND REACHED FOR A PARKING TICKET SUDDENLY THE CARS MOTOR REVVED UP ALL ON ITS OWN. MY FOOT WAS ONTHE BRAKE THE WHOLE TIME, I NEVER TOUCHED THE GAS PEDAL. I PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL AND THE MOTOR WAS GOING REAL FAST. I CUT IT OFF AND PUT IT INTO PARK. WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON IT STILL WAS GOING FAST. I CUT IT OFF AND RESTARTED IT THIS TIME IT WAS RUNNING NORMAL. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY TOWED IT IN. THEY KEPT OVER NIGHT AND SAID THEY WERE CALLING TOYOTA. NEXT DAY THEY CALLED AND SAID IT WAS READY THAT TOYOTA GAVE IT A BILL OF HEALTH. THE BRAKES HELD OTHER WISE THE OUT COME COULD HAVE BEEN BAD.

APPROXIMATELY ONE WEEK AGO, MY 2010 COROLLA SURGED FORWARD APPROXIMATELY 6-8 FEET AFTER I PLACED IN PARK IN MY WORK PARKING LOT. THE TACHOMETER WENT TO ABOVE 2000 RPMS, AND THE CARS SPEED WENT OVER 20 MPH BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO JAM ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE BRAKE OR THE GAS PEDAL. I ALMOST HIT A TREE. MY HEAD WAS THRUST BACKWARDS. THREE HOURS LATER THE PARAMEDICS HAD TO COME TO MY OFFICE AND RUSH ME TO THE HOSPITAL AS I HAD A TIA AS A RESULT. THIS IS THE THIRD ACCELERATION INCIDENT WITH MY VEHICLE SINCE FEBRUARY 12TH. THE DEALERSHIP HAS EVEN HAD A SPECIALIST LOOK AT MY CAR, AND THEY SAID NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY BECAUSE OF THE ABOVE INCIDENT. THE GENERAL SERVICE MANAGER SAID TO ME QUOTE UNQUOTE "WE CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR VEHICLE, AND CAN NOT VERIFY YOUR COMPLAINT. YOU HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR TO US FOUR TIMES FOR THIS SAME ACCELERATION PROBLEM AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR CAR. WE HAVE NOT CHARGED YOU ANY OF THESE TIMES. IF YOU BRING IT TO US AGAIN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO BILL YOU FOR OUR TIME. THEY ALSO CHARGED ME FOR THE RENTAL CAR TODAY. HE ALSO STATED THAT THE MEDIA IS BLOWING THIS WAY OUT OF PROPORTION, AND THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH ANY OF THE TOYOTA VEHICLES. HE SAID THE PROBLEM IS ONE OF TWO THINGS. I ASKED HIM WHAT THOSE TWO THINGS WERE. HE STATED THAT THEY ARE THE DRIVERS ARE BAD DRIVERS AND THE OTHER IS IT IS FRAUD. SO I SAID ARE YOU IMPLYING I AM A LIER OR A BAD DRIVER AND HE REFUSED TO ANSWER. I THEN SAID I AM NEITHER OF THE TWO AND THAT I RESENTED THE IMPLICATION TO BOTH. I TOLD HIM MY CAR IS A DEATH MOBILE AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE, AND ALSO THAT I HAD BEEN HURT 3 OR 4 TIMES ALREADY.
