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.

WHILE TRAVELING AT ABOUT 50 MPH THE GAUGES WENT INSTANTLY FROM 50 TO 0. AT THE SAME TIME MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASH. THE CAR STILL HAD POWER WHEN STEPPING ON THE GAS, LIGHTS AND RADIO WERE STILL ON. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN TO GET OFF THE ROAD, THEN STEERING WHEEL CLICKED AND LOCKED. THERE WAS NO STEERING. MY BRAKES DID WORK. IT WAS AS IF THE CAR HAD SHUT ITSELF OFF AND THEN BACK ON, BUT DIDN'T UNLOCK THE STEERING. THE CAR WAS NEW WITH LESS THAN 300 MILES ON IT. THIS WAS THE FIRST INCIDENT OF THIS KIND, I HAD NO OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR UNTIL THEN. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. IT WAS TESTED THE NEXT DAY & I WAS TOLD IT WAS A SPEED SENSOR, BUT THE SENSOR WAS NOT REPLACED. THEY CONNECTED IT TO THE COMPUTER AND REPROGRAMMED IT AND SAID IT WAS GOOD TO GO. I REFUSED TO ACCEPT IT UNTIL THEY COULD TELL ME WHY IT HAPPENED AND WHAT THEY HAD REPLACED TO GUARANTEE IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. THEY WERE UNABLE TO DO SO AND ENDED UP REPLACING MY CAR WITH A NEW ONE. *TR

WHEN I DROVE MY 2010 COROLLA FROM THE DEALER IT HAD FIVE MILES ON IT. WITHIN ONE HALF MILE I REALIZED THAT THE CAR WANDERED LEFT AND RIGHT AND NEEDED ME TO STEER LEFT AND RIGHT TO KEEP THE CAR IN THE CENTER OF THE ROAD. I KNEW RIGHT AWAY THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE CASTER ADJUSTMENT WAS SET SO THE CASTER WAS FACED FORWARD. I BROUGHT IT BACK AND THE SERVICE MGR SAID IT WAS DESIGNED TO HAVE THE CASTER SET FORWARD BY TWO DEGREES. I AM 72 AND A CAR GUY. A FORWARD CASTER WILL CAUSE THE CAR NOT TO BE ABLE TO STEER STRAIGHT. IT WAS TO BE DRIVEN BY MY GRAND DAUGHTER WHO HAS 18 MONTHS DRIVING EXPERIENCE. WE BROUGHT IT IN FOR SERVICE TO HAVE THE CASTER SET TO 'FOLLOW' RATHER THAN 'LEAD'. THE SERVICE PEOPLE SAID IT WAS SET TO TOYOTA DESIGNS OF TWO DEGREES FORWARD. THAT IS THE PROBLEM ALONG WITH, MAYBE, SOMETHING IN THE ELECTRONIC CONTROLS THAT MIGHT BE ADDING TO THE PROBLEM. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED. IF TOYOTA DOESN'T SPEAK TO THIS AND CORRECT IT I NEED TO HAVE THIS CAR REPLACED BY AN AMISH HORSE AND CARRIAGE. TOYOTA HAS INTRODUCED A NEW FEATURE THAT IS DEADLY. *TR

I DRIVE TOYOTA COROLLA LS 2010. I WAS DRIVING TO WORK TODAY APPROXIMATELY WITH 45M/H. I WAS GETTING READY TO TAKE AN EXIT FROM THE HIGHWAY, I SAW COUPLE CARS WERE STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE EXIT APPROXIMATELY METER AWAY FROM ME. I DECIDED TO REDUCE THE SPEED AND GETBACK TO THE HIGHWAY(TO GET AROUND THEM SO I CAN TAKE MY EXIT. 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. THE CAR MOVED WITH NO CONTROL FOR SEVERAL SECONDS THEN I AND UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I WAS LUCKY EVERYONE WAS BEHIND ME AND THEY STAYED AWAY FROM MY CAR. I JUST TOOK MY CAR TO BE FIXED FROM THE STICKING ACCELERATION PROBLEM. I BELIEVE MY BREAKS DID NOT WORKED AT THAT POINT AND MY CAR WAS MOVING WITH THE SAME SPEED . AFTERWARD I WAS ABLE TO MOVE MY CAR AND MY BRAKES WERE WORKING. I AM WORRIED TO DRIVE THAT CAR. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE. I COULD OF HURT THE LADY AND HER KIDS THAT WERE BEHIND ME. *TR

THIS WAS NOT A FAILURE, BUT MORE OF A CONSTANT PROBLEM. MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA HAS A SERIOUS TENDENCY TO WANT TO WANDER IN THE LANE. I DRIVE TO WORK EVERYDAY ON THE EXPRESS WAY, ABOUT 25 MILES. IT REQUIRES CONSTANT MONITORING AND ADJUSTMENTS TO KEEP THE VEHICLE TRACKING STRAIGHT. IT ACTUALLY FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS ALWAYS ON A SLIPPERY ROAD, EVEN WHEN THE PAVEMENT IS DRY. AS SPEEDS INCREASE THE PROBLEM INCREASES; IT IS ALWAYS PRESENT. NEVER WORSE AT ONE TIME THAN ANOTHER. I HAVE NOT REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO THE DEALER, BUT I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TODAY AT 12:30 FOR THE GAS PEDAL RECALL, I WILL INFORM THEM OF THE ISSUE AS WELL. *TR

I BROUGHT A NEW TOYOTA COROLLA 2010 IN MID JANUARY, AND HAVE EXPERIENCED A POSSIBLE STEERING PROBLEM FOR A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN THE SPEED WAS MORE THAN 60 MPH. THE LATEST ONE WAS IN THE AFTERNOON OF FEB. 26, WHEN I DROVE ON A HIGHWAY WITH A SPEED OF ABOUT 65 MPH. IT SEEMED THE STEERING WAS VERY SENSITIVE AND DIFFICULT TO CONTROL - A SMALL MOVEMENT IN STEERING COULD EASILY CAUSE THE CAR TO GO TO ANOTHER LANE. THE SITUATION BECAME MORE APPARENT WHEN THE WIND WAS STRONG - I FELT THE CAR WAS NOT STABLE AT ALL. *TR

MY CAR WANDERS WHEN I AM DRIVING IT. THERE HAVE BEEN TOO MANY INSTANCES TO NARROW DOWN THE DATE WHEN IT HAPPENS. WHEN I AM DRIVING MY CAR SEEMS TO WANDER FROM ITS LANE. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND IN TOWN. IF THE WHEEL IS HELD STRAIGHT THE CAR TENDS TO WANDER TO ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER, USUALLY IT SEEMS TO THE PASSENGER SIDE. SOMETIMES WHEN I AM ON A GRADUAL CURVE I MUST MAKE CONSTANT CORRECTIONS JUST TO STAY IN MY LANE. I HAVE YET TO BRING THIS TO TOYOTAS ATTENTION. I AM BRING MY CAR TO THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM 9 MONTHS AGO AND HAVE THEM LOOK AT ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH MY BRAKES FAILING, SO I WILL ALSO HAVE THEM INSPECT THIS PROBLEM AS WELL. *TR

I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A PARKING LOT WITH A FRIEND OF MINE AS PASSENGER. I WAS COMING UP TO A STOP SIGN WITH 2 CARS WAITING AT THE SIGN. I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO BEGIN SLOWING MY CAR AND WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES THEY DID NOT ENGAGE FOR AT LEAST A SECOND OR SO. WHEN THE PEDAL WAS HIT IT MOVED TOWARDS THE FLOOR VERY EASILY AND AFTER A SECOND OR SO THE CAR JERKED AND BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN AS IT SHOULD HAVE. I WAS ABLE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP WITHOUT INCIDENT, BUT IT WAS A CLOSE CALL WITH THE CAR AHEAD OF ME. IF I HAD NOT DEVELOPED A HABIT OF EARLY BRAKING WE WOULD HAVE HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF US. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT IT HAPPENED BUT THE CAR ONLY HAS 8000K ON IT. I AM TAKING TO THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW WHERE I BOUGHT IT 9 MONTHS AGO TO SEE IF THEY CAN FIND A PROBLEM. *TR

I LEASED A 2010 COROLLA IN DEC,2010. WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKES THE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. TOOK BACK TO DEALER AND HE SAID HE DROVE ANOTHER COROLLA AND THE BRAKE OPERATED THE SAME WAY, HE SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG SINCE THE VEHICLE STOPPED O.K. IF YOU PUMP THE PEDAL ONCE THE BRAKES ENGAGE THE WAY THEY SHOULD...I THING THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

I AM FILING THIS REPORT TO HAVE DOCUMENTATION FOR MY RECORDS. IT IS ON MY 2010 COROLLA NOW HAVING COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE ISSUES. IT STARTED ON FEB. 21,2010. THE BRAKES STARTED TO GO COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. ON FEBRUARY 24, THE BRAKES WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR AT A 5 WAY INTERSECTION, AND I WENT THROUGH A STOP LIGHT. I COULD NOT STOP THE CAR. THAT SAME DAY I WENT THROUGH A STOP SIGN AND HAD TO JAM ON MY EMERGENCY BRAKE, SO I DIDN'T GO ONTO A MAJOR TRAVELED ROUTE IN VERMONT. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM I REPORTED TO THE NHTSA ON 12/12/09. THE ODI NUMBER IS 10295431. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT WAS DONE WITH THAT COMPLAINT? DID IT EVER GET FORWARDED TO MR. TOYODO HIMSELF, CONGRESS (FOR THE HEARINGS?). I HAD COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE ISSUES FOR OVER 14 MONTHS WITH MY 2009 COROLLA. WHAT DID YOU DO WITH THAT INFORMATION? THE ONLY RECALL I SAW WAS FOR THE PRIUS? WHAT A JOKE! NOW MY 2010 COROLLA HAS COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE. AGAIN TOYOTA GETS AWAY WITH COVERING UP THEIR MISTAKES, AND YOUR AGENCY DOES NOTHING. THE SAME AS COVERING UP THE NEW PEDAL RECALL NOT CORRECTING THE ISSUE OF ACCELERATION (MY ODI NUMBER FOR THIS IS 10314851). I HAVE ALL MY RECORDS AND AM SHOWING THEM TO THE MEDIA (NATIONAL & LOCAL). I AM STATING BELOW THE INCIDENT DATE FOR MY CURRENT CAR BRAKE FAILURE ISSUES IS FEBRUARY 21ST. I AM HOWEVER STATING INJURIES AND REPORTED TO THE POLICE. I HAD AN ACCELERATION INCIDENT ON JANUARY 18, 2010 WITH MY 2009 COROLLA . DURING THE INCIDENT I HAD COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE AND WAS INJURED. I DID REPORT IT TO THE POLICE. *TR

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
