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.

STEERING TOO SENSITIVE. MOST NOTABLE AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. WONT TRACK CORRECTLY. WANTS TO DRIFT EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT. CORRECTION ONLY MAKES THE CAR DRIFT THE OTHER WAY. MUST BE VERY ATTENTIVE OR CAR COULD DRIFT INTO OTHER LANE. CONDITION SINCE NEW. DEALERSHIP HAS VERIFIED THE PROBLEM BUT CANT SEEM TO FIX IT. BEEN TO DEALERSHIP SERVICE TWICE FOR THIS CONDITION. *TR
Steering, Mar 20, 2010
WE PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA LESS THAN A MONTH AGO FROM A TEXAS DEALER IN NORTH HOUSTON. IMMEDIATELY UPON DRIVING HOME WE NOTICED A "MEANDERING" OF THE FRONT END, DIFFICULTY IN KEEPING THE CAR IN ITS LANE AT HIGH SPEEDS. IT FELT LIKE DRIVING A CAR DURING A WINDY DAY. AS IT WAS A WINDY DAY WE THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT. IT BEHAVED AS YOU WOULD EXPECT AT HIGH SPEEDS, ON THE FREEWAY, ON A WINDY DAY. THE PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE IS THAT IT NEEDS CONSTANT CORRECTION TO MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT PATH WHILE STEERING; CONSTANT SMALL ADJUSTMENTS TO KEEP IT IN ITS LANE. THE PROBLEM IS EXACERBATED AT HIGH SPEEDS AS SMALL ADJUSTMENTS SEEM TO BE AMPLIFIED. AND A SMALL ADJUSTMENT TO THE RIGHT FOR EXAMPLE, WHILE THE VEHICLE MEANDERS TO THE RIGHT, CREATES AN EXAGGERATED MOVEMENT TO THE RIGHT; KIND OF A DOUBLING OF THE EVENT. SO IF YOU ARE CORRECTING MOVEMENT TO THE LEFT, BY ADJUSTING TO THE RIGHT, AND THE MECHANICAL PROBLEM KICKS IN WITH MORE RIGHT MOVEMENT, YOU GET A BIG SHIFT IN THE VEHICLE, THE NEED TO MAINTAIN ATTENTION TO THE STEERING IS CONSTANT. YOUR HANDS ARE ALWAYS AT THE 10 O'CLOCK, 2 O'CLOCK POSITION, AND ALWAYS MAKING CORRECTIONS TO THE FRONT END MEANDERING. AT HIGH SPEEDS IT IS MORE PROBLEMATIC BECAUSE THE MECHANICAL REACTIONS GET AMPLIFIED AT HIGH SPEEDS. AT LOW SPEEDS THE PROBLEM EXISTS, YOU STILL HAVE TO REACT, BUT YOU HAVE MORE REACTION TIME BEFORE THE VEHICLE MOVES TO AN UNCOMFORTABLE POSITION WITHIN THE LANE. WHERE THIS EVENT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IS ON TWO LANE ROADS WITH HIGH SPEED LIMITS. TWO LANE ROADS IN TEXAS CAN BE NARROW WITH SMALL SHOULDERS. WHEN THE VEHICLE MEANDERS, YOU PULL TO THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC OR NARROW SHOULDERS ON THE TWO LANE HIGHWAYS, MARGIN OF ERROR IS MUCH SMALLER THAN ON CITY FREEWAYS AND STREETS. *TR

AT THIS POINT, I WOULDN'T NECESSARILY CLASSIFY IT AS A DEFECT, BUT AS I HAVE READ WITH REGARDS TO OTHER OWNERS, MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA LE (WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) ALSO EXHIBITS "LIGHT" STEERING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. DRIVERS REALLY HAVE TO PAY CONSTANT CLOSE ATTENTION WHENEVER DRIVING ABOVE 45 MPH IN ORDER TO AVOID MOVING OR "WANDERING" OUT OF YOUR LANE WITH THE SLIGHTEST MOVEMENT OF THE STEERING WHEEL. IN OTHER WORDS, THE STEERING ON THIS AUTOMOBILE IS EXTREMELY SENSITIVE, ESPECIALLY ABOVE 45 MPH. AS, SUCH, WHENEVER I AM DRIVING MORE THAN TWO HOURS AT A TIME, I GET EXTREMELY FATIGUED. IN MY OPINION, A VARIABLE ASSIST POWER STEERING SYSTEM, BASED ON VEHICLE SPEED, WOULD HAVE BEEN A MORE APPROPRIATE TYPE OF POWER STEERING SYSTEM TO ENGINEER INTO THIS CAR. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DONE SINCE THIS AUTOMOBILE UTILIZES AN ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM IN PLACE OF THE TYPICAL HYDRAULIC SYSTEM. *TR

MY 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA HAD A FAILED ECM WHICH CAUSED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME AND STALL THE ENGINE. IN ADDITION, MY VEHICLE HAD HIGH RPM AND SHIFTING GEAR PROBLEMS AS WELL. THE FAILED ECM ISSUE WAS DISCOVERED BY A SPECIFIC CODE FOR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY WERE CERTAINLY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM HOWEVER TOLD ME THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS TO RECALL THE ISSUE. I CALLED TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY INFORMED SINCE MY MILEAGE WAS 95,000 AND THE WARRANTY WOULD ONLY COVER UP TO 80,000 MILES. I ENDED UP GETTING THE ECM REPLACED FOR ABOUT $800 AT CARMAX WHICH WAS $700 CHEAPER THAN WHAT TOYOTA WANTED TO CHARGE. I CALLED TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS AGAIN TO COMPLAIN AND WAS LEFT WITH NO RESOLUTION. AFTER MY RESEARCH ONLINE, THIS WAS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM TO TOYOTA HOWEVER THEY FAILED TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. THIS ISSUE OCCURRED TO MANY VEHICLES AS LOW AS 35000 MILES UNDER WARRANTY AND STILL CONTINUE TO OCCUR OUT OF WARRANTY OVER 80000 MILES. I FEEL IF THEY HAD A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE, I WOULD HAVE NEVER HAD THESE ISSUES WITH MY CAR BEING STALLED AND HAVING TO REPLACE THE ECM. I RECENTLY READ AN ARTICLE IN NEWS ABOUT YOUR INVOLVEMENT IN REGARDS TO INVESTIGATION OF THIS ISSUE AND HOPE TOYOTA CAN RECOGNIZE TO ACCEPT THIS FAILED RECALL. I HAVE ALSO FOUND MANY OTHER TOYOTA CUSTOMERS WHO ARE ALL OVER THE INTERNET SHARING SIMILAR FEEDBACK. HTTP://WWW.TOYOTANATION.COM/FORUM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=201631 I AM HOPING THAT YOUR TEAM CAN HOLD TOYOTA ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS POOR DECISION OF NOT TO RECALL THIS ISSUE.

I JUST BOUGHT A NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. UPON TAKING IT UP TO HIGHWAY SPEED THE FIRST TIME I NOTED A "DRIFTING" IN THE STEERING THAT SEEMED UNUSUAL (CAR RIDES FINE FOR A WHILE THEN DRIFTS RIGHT OR LEFT CAUSING YOU TO OVER STEER IT BACK). I DROVE IT FOR THE REST OF THE DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND AM CERTAIN THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE STEERING. THE DEALER SAID IT IS THE NEW ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING BUT IT SURE SEEMS UNSTEADY. SOMETHING IS WRONG AND THESE CARS SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

MY TOYOTA COROLLA 2010 MODEL ACCELERATED FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHEN I WAS BACKING UP MY CAR. I SHIFTED THE GEAR TO REVERSE AND RELEASE THE BRAKE, AND EVEN BEFORE I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR MY CAR BACKED UP AS IF I HAVE PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL REAL HARD. I HAD TO BRAKE REAL HARD TO GET THE CAR UNDER CONTROL. SINCE I WAS IN A BIG EMPTY PARKING LOT NO DAMAGE WAS DONE. *TR

I KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN SOME ISSUES REPORTED ON POWER STEERING IN 2010 COROLLAS, AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED SOMETHING LIKE THIS. WE HAVE NOTICED "WANDERING" WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY QUITE OFTEN. IT WILL WANDER ONE DIRECTION AND THEN WHEN YOU STRAIGHTEN IT BACK OUT, IT WILL DO IT AGAIN. IT WILL GO BOTH DIRECTIONS, SO IT'S NOT ALIGNMENT. I DECIDED TO PAY VERY CAREFUL ATTENTION LAST TIME I DROVE IT. WHILE GOING HIGHWAY SPEED OF 60MPH, I WAS HEADING STRAIGHT, ON A STRAIGHT ROAD. I FELT THE STEERING WHEEL TIGHTEN UP A LITTLE AND THEN THE WHEEL ITSELF TURNED ABOUT 1 INCH FROM WHERE I WAS HOLDING IT. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN ABOUT A 5 MILE STRETCH AND THEN IT STOPPED. I DIDN'T HAVE ANY MORE ISSUES WITH IT THE REST OF MY TRIP, WHICH WAS ABOUT 160 MILES. I HAVE CALLED OUR LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN SO THEY COULD INSPECT. I GOT IT BACK THE NEXT DAY AND ONLY A FEW MILES WERE PUT ON AND THEY CLAIMED NOTHING WAS WRONG, SO WE HAVE NOT HAD ANYTHING DONE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. *TR

IN OCTOBER 2009 I BOUGHT A NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA FROM SANSONE ROUTE 1 TOYOTA IN AVENEL NEW JERSEY. FEBRUARY 22 2010 I BROUGHT THE COROLLA TO THIS DEALERSHIP FOR A FIX RELATED TO THE ACCELERATION RECALL. I ALSO FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THEM ABOUT THE POWER STEERING. AFTER 90 MINUTES THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE POWER STEERING.THEY GAVE ME THIS IN WRITING. THEY ALSO WROTE THAT THEY FIXED THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM. I TOOK THE CAR AND 4 MINUTES LATER I HIT ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE THE ACCELERATION INCREASED BY ITSELF. THE CAR IS BEING REPAIRED BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY. TOYOTA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE 8600 DOLLARS OF REPAIRS . I AM INJURED . IS TOYOTA RESPONSIBLE? MY PHONE NUMBER IS [XXX]. PLEASE CONTACT ME AND TELL ME WHAT TO DO. I TRIED TO REACH TOYOTA S 800 NUMBER BUT SO FAR I HAVE WAITED 3 HOURS AND NOBODY ANSWERS. THANK YOU. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAVE LEASED A 2010 COROLLA IN JULY 2010 IT NOW HAS APPROX. 4200 MILES ON IT I CONTINUE TO HAVE UNEXPLAINED WHAT APPEARS TO BE ELECTRONIC OR COMPUTER SOFTWARE PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. ONE INSTANCE WAS I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE, BUT THE CAR DID NOT MOVE, BUT THE ENGINE REVVED WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL. I THEN PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND BACK INTO DRIVE AND THE CAR FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. I THEN DROVE APPROX 6 MILES ROUND TRIP AND RETURNED HOME, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, AND MY HANDS WERE TOUCHING NOTHING I WAS READING SOMETHING THAT I HAD IN MY HAND AND THE HIGH BEAMS POPPED ON THE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH, IT WAS FAIRLY LIGHT OUT SO I DON'T IMAGINE THAT IS A FEATURE, IT WAS A BIT OVERCAST AND CLOUDY. THE ODOMETER AT SOME POINT CHANGED FROM DISPLAYING MILES WITH 10THS AND ONLY DISPLAYS FULL NUMBER MILES, I THINK IT WAS AFTER I ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE ALARM BUTTON ON THE REMOTE KEY THAT IT CHANGED BUT I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE. I ALSO BELIEVE THE CAR'S COMPUTER WAS NOT PROPERLY SET UPON DELIVERY, OR THEY PUT IN A SOFTWARE UPGRADE WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE INVOICE SHOWS THEY DID A COMPUTER RESET. THE RECALL FIX HAS ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED ON THIS VEHICLE, AND I AM NOW UNABLE TO GET A RESPONSE FROM TOYOTA, I HAVE BEEN WAITING 3 DAYS SINCE I REPORTED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE, AND TODAY I CAN NOT GET THROUGH TO TOYOTA OR THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO HIGH CALL VOLUME. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND REACH SPEEDS OF OVER 40 MPH IT IS VERY HARD TO KEEP THE CAR IN A STRAIGHT LINE OR IN THE PROPER DRIVING LANE. THE CAR BEGINS TO SWAY AS IF IT IS BEING BUFFETED BY HARD WINDS. OFTEN IT TAKES TWO HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO GET CONTROL OF THE CAR'S SWAYING MOTION AND JUST WHEN YOU THINK YOU'VE GOT IT CORRECTED, IT SWAYS AGAIN AND CAN EASILY OVERCORRECT ITSELF. *TR

BOUGHT 2010 COROLLA ON 2/27/2010, FELT THE WHEEL IS VERY TIGHT COMPARING TO THE RENTAL 2010 COROLLA I HAD BEFORE PURCHASING THIS COROLLA. SENT IT TO DEALER, THEY FELT THE SAME WAY, AND "SWAP THE POWER STEERING" FOR ME WHILE KEPT IT IN FOR 11 DAYS. I TOOK IT HOME YESTERDAY, BUT FOUND ITS AS TIGHT AS BEFORE. I FEEL ITS LIKE DRIVING A TRUCK, AND POWER STEERING IS BARELY WORKING, ESPECIALLY THE SPEED IS OVER 20MPH. I FEEL I HAVE TO HOLD VERY TIGHT WITH BOTH HANDS ON THE HIGHWAY TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT. *TR

WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA (PURCHASED ON 9/10/09) ON MIRAMAR, PKWY IN MIRAMAR, FLORIDA, AT 45 MILES PER HOUR A TRUCK CUT HIM OFF. WHEN HE HIT THE BRAKES TO STOP, THE ABS LOCKING SYSTEM SKIPPED AND NEVER FULLY STOPPED? HAD THE TRUCK NOT SPED UP TO HELP HIM AVOID HITTING HIM, HE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT OR EVEN KILLED. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A SCRATCHING SOUND (ABS) SINCE 2 WEEKS OF PURCHASE (500 MILES). ON THE FIRST TRIP BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 9/25/09, AFTER 5 DAYS AND AN HOUR AND 1/2 DRIVING WITH ONE OF THE MECHANICS, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT THE ANTI LOCKING SYSTEM, THAT IS JUST THE WAY THEY ARE. IT HAS SINCE BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP 5 DIFFERENT TIMES SINCE DATE OF PURCHASE FOR A TOTAL OF 15 DAYS THAT I HAVE COUNTED FOR THE SAME SCRATCHING NOISE AND MULTIPLE OTHER THINGS, SUCH AS THE STEERING, THE TIRES RATTLING AND BALANCING ISSUES. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TODAY (3/11/10) I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT MY HUSBAND SHOULD BRING IN THE CAR TO TRY AND DUPLICATE THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM NOT WORKING. DOES HE HAVE TO DUPLICATE ALMOST GETTING INTO A FATAL ACCIDENT IN ORDER FOR TOYOTA TO FIX THE BRAKING PROBLEM? I THINK NOT. I WAS THEN TOLD THAT THEY CAN GIVE ME A PRIUS AS A LOANER. WOW!!!! I TRADED IN A 2002 BMW X5 FOR THE RELIABLE SAFE COROLLA. WHAT A HUGE MISTAKE. *TR

THE MANUFACTURE KEPT THE CAR FOR TWO HOURS, RETURNED IT TO ME CLAIMING SOMETHING IN THE BRAKES WERE NOT LINED UP, BUT CLAIMED THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED AND THE BRAKES HAD BEEN "LUBRICATED". FEBRUARY 17, 2010 THE BRAKES RELEASED AFTER BEING APPLIED TO AVOID HITTING A CAR AHEAD OF MY CAR WHO HAD SLAMMED ON THEIR BRAKES. I REAPPLIED THE BRAKES AND HEARD AN EXTREAMLY LOUD NOISE COMMING FROM MY COROLLA, THEN THE BRAKES CAUGHT AND I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN ENOUGH TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR AND FINALLY STOPPED. *TR
