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.

1.DRIVING COROLLA 2010 ON HIGHWAY SPEEDS ABOVE 55 MPH, IT BECOMES EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND KEEP THE CAR STEADY IN LINE, IT FEELS LIKE I AM DRIVING IN HEAVY WINDS. 2. IT HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME THE CAR REACHES SPEED 55 MPH AND ABOVE. 3. TO BE SAFE DRIVE ON RIGHT MOST LANE AND KEEP ENOUGH DISTANCE FROM OTHER VEHICLES. *TR

PURCHASES NEW COROLLA ON 12/26/09. UPON DRIVING 18 MILES TO MY HOME ON THE FREEWAY, I FOUND IT HARD TO STEER THE CAR. IT FELT LIKE I WAS DRIVING ON ICE OR HYDROPLANING. WHAT A SCARY FEELING. I CALLED MY SALESMAN, HE SAID BRING IT IN, BUT I HAD TO GET HOME TO CARE FOR MY 85 YR OLD MOTHER WHO HAS DEMENTIA. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN ONCE. THE ALIGNMENT WAS OFF ONLY IN THE TOE AND ADJUSTED AS WERE THE OVER-INFLATED TIRES OF 37 LBS EACH, ADJUSTED TO 34 LBS. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS REPLACE THOUGH I HAD NO PROBLEMS. THE STEERING IS STILL VERY SENSITIVE HAVING TO PULL THE CAR ON A STRAIGHT PATH AS IT TENDS TO VEER TO THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT. MY MASTER REPAIR MECHANIC AND I WENT ON A DRIVE TODAY, 02/18/10. HE SAID THAT THE REAR WHEELS WERE NOT ALIGNING WITH THE STEERING. FELT AS THOUGH YOU WERE SITTING SIDEWAYS AND TRYING TO DRIVE. I WILL HAVE AN APPT ON MONDAY, 02/22/10 AGAIN WITH FOLSOM TOYOTA, LETS SEE WHAT WE CAN DO??? CARS KEEP AT A DISTANCE AWAY FROM ME AS I CONSTANTLY HAVE TO STEER THE CAR CORRECTLY WITHIN THE LANE??? PS THIS IS MY 4TH NEW TOYOTA, NEVER DROVE ONE THAT FELT THIS SCARY! *TR

I HAVE A 2010 COROLLA IT CONSTANTLY SWAYS WHILE DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. SOMETIMES I NEED TO HOLD ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL WITH BOTH HANDS TO KEEP IT FROM GOING INTO ANOTHER LANE. I SWITCHED FROM DRIVING A SMALL VW BEETLE AND WAS FAMILIAR WITH STRONG WINDS CAUSING THESE PROBLEMS BUT WHEN I LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW THERE WAS NO WIND ALL THE TREES WERE STILL AND NO FLAGS WERE WAVING. THERE HAS BEEN A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN I REALLY FELT THE CAR WAS GOING TO SWERVE OUT OF CONTROL IF I DIDN'T IMMEDIATELY SLOW DOWN. I ALSO FEEL A METAL GRINDING SENSATION WITH MY BRAKES WHEN I SLOW DOWN OVER UNEVEN PAVEMENT OR GO OVER A SPEED BUMP. THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME BUT IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS THAT I'VE HAD THE CAR IT OCCURRED 6 TIMES. I TOLD THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS AND THEY SAID IT COULDN'T BE DUPLICATED AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. WHICH IS COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS THERE HASN'T BEEN A TIME THAT I'VE DRIVEN ON THE FREEWAY AND NOT FELT THIS SWAYING. THEY DIDN'T EVEN TRY TO FIND A PROBLEM. THEY DIDN'T DO A THING TO HELP ME. THAN I HEARD OF OTHER COROLLA OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. SO I KNOW IT'S NOT JUST ME, THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR AND THEY NEED TO RECOGNIZE THEY MADE ANOTHER MISTAKE. *TR

PURCHASED A 2010 COROLLA LAST AUGUST. THE STEERING IS "SLOPPY", "LOOSE" - LIKE THERE'S EXCESSIVE "PLAY" IN THE WHEEL - AND NEEDS CONSTANT CORRECTION, OR THE CAR WILL WANDER ALL OVER THE PLACE. A LONG TRIP IN THIS VEHICLE WOULD BE AN EXHAUSTING ADVENTURE. AND THERE'S ONLY A THOUSAND MILES ON IT. YOU CAN ADD MY NAME TO THE LIST OF OWNERS WHO FEEL THIS PARTICULAR MODEL HAS A STEERING PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN I WAS DRIVING OVER A POTHOLE OR UNEVEN GROUND LESS THAN 2 WEEKS AFTER BUYING A NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA THE BRAKES WOULD GRIND AND STOPPING WOULD NOT BE IMMEDIATE. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER WHO COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I WAS TOLD THAT NEW BRAKES OFTEN MAKE NOISES. I EXPLAINED THAT THIS WAS FAR FROM A NORMAL NOISE. STILL, THEY ASSURED ME THE CAR WAS SAFE, WHICH I DO NOT BELIEVE. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR A LITTLE LESS THAN 5 MONTHS AND THE BRAKES CONTINUE TO GRIND OVER UNEVEN GROUND. IT WILL CONTINUE TO GRIND UNTIL I RELEASE MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE, EVEN IF I AM NO LONGER ON UNEVEN GROUND. THE CAR WILL SLOW OVER THE UNEVEN GROUND, BUT WILL NOT STOP AS EXPECTED, ESPECIALLY GIVEN THAT THIS IS A NEW VEHICLE. ALSO, YESTERDAY MORNING I STARTED HEARING A "TICK" SOUND COMING FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL. IT HAPPENS MOSTLY IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC. *TR

SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE IN JULY 2009, WHEN BRAKING AND COMING TO A STOP, THE 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA FREQUENTLY SHUDDERS AS IF IT IS GOING TO STALL, ALTHOUGH IT HAS NOT YET STALLED. THIS WAS REPORTED TO THE DEALER (IRA TOYOTA MANCHESTER) DURING 5K MILE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE ON 1-30-10 AND THEY RESPONDED THAT THEY HAVE HAD ABOUT A DOZEN COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS FROM DIFFERENT OWNERS AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. NOTHING WAS DONE. *TR

I HAVE A TOYOTA COROLLA SPORT 2010. IT IS DIFFICULT TO STEER STRAIGHT, VEHICLE GOES SIDE TO SIDE, MAKING IT MORE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL, ESPECIALLY IN HIGHWAYS. I WENT TO THE CAR DEALER (TOYOTA) TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITH THE PEDAL AND THEY SAID THE IS WORKING ACCORDING HOW THE MANUFACTURE EXPECTS. *TR

I RENTED A BRAND NEW (ONLY 350 MILES) 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA FROM HERTZ AT THE ORLANDO AIRPORT ON OCTOBER 19, 2009 AND TURNED IT BACK INTO A HERTZ LOCATION IN JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA ON OCTOBER 23, 2009. I HAD TROUBLE GETTING THE CAR TO "TRACK". IT WAS VERY HARD TO KEEP GOING STRAIGHT AND FELT LIKE THERE WAS A STRONG CROSSWIND (WHICH THERE WASN'T). I TALKED WITH MY WIFE ABOUT THIS ON THAT TRIP, BUT REGRETFULLY, I DID NOT TELL THE HERTZ PEOPLE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. NOW I UNDERSTAND THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE NOTICED EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ON MY NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA MAKES THE CAR VERY DIFFICULT, STRESSFUL AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ABOVE 65 MPH ANY SLIGHT HAND MOVEMENT ON THE STEERING WHEEL CAUSES THE CAR TO VEER SOMETIMES SHARPLY MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE CAR INSIDE YOUR LANE. IT STEERS JERKY LIKE A GO CART AND DOESN'T RETURN TO CENTER. I'VE TAKEN IT BACK THREE TIMES AND TOYOTA SAID THAT I'D HAVE TO GET USED TO IT. THEY FINALLY REALIGNED THE FRONT END, PHASE BALANCED THE TIRES, AND CENTERED THE STEERING WHEEL, BUT THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP ACTED LIKE THEY DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS PROBLEM AND THAT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO HAD COMPLAINED, SAID I SHOULD FILE A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA, BUT I HAVEN'T DONE THAT YET. *TR

AS NOTED ON THE NEWS ABOUT A POSSIBLE RECALL ABOUT THE STEERING PROBLEMS ON THE 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. I ALSO OWN A 2010 COROLLA AND EVEN BEFORE THE NEWS I HAD PROBLEMS KEEPING THE CAR STRAIGHT ON THE ROAD. THE CONDITION GETS WORSE AT HIGHER SPEEDS AND THE PROBLEM INCREASES WHEN THERE IS LESS GAS IN THE TANK. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER TO CHECK/FIX THE ALIGNMENT AND IT SEEMS TO HELP A LITTLE BIT BUT THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. *TR

AFTER READING ABOUT THE TOYOTA COROLLA STEERING PROBLEMS, I WANTED TO FILE A COMPLAINT OF MY OWN. I HAVE NOTICED THIS PROBLEM OF FEELING LIKE WIND WHIPPING MY CAR AROUND ON THE FREEWAY ALMOST DAILY SINCE I LEASED MY NEW 2010 COROLLA IN NOVEMBER 2009. I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS THE WAY THE LOS ANGELES AREA ROADS ARE PAVED BUT AFTER READING OTHER OWNERS' SIMILAR COMPLAINTS IN THE NEWS, I AM SURE THAT THIS IS WHAT IS CAUSING ME TO FEEL LIKE I HAVE DIFFICULTY CONTROLLING MY CAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR ON MONDAY 2/15/2010, FROM DICK MILHAM TOYOTA IN EASTEN P.A. THERE IS A REAL PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING, AT SPEEDS OVER 50MPH YOU REALLY NEED TWO HANDS TO STEER THE CAR. I TRAVEL OVER 192 MILES A DAY AND IM VERY WORRIED ABOUT THIS. I AM GOING TO SPEAK WITH THE DEALER TO SEE IF THEY WILL TAKE THE CAR BACK, I HOPE YOU ARE GOING TO INVESTIGATE THESE PROBLEMS AND FORCE TOYOTA TO FIX THE PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

MY 2010 COROLLA HAS HAD A STEERING PROBLEM SINCE ITS PURCHASE. IN 50 YEARS OF DRIVING IN OVER 25 NEW VEHICLES, IT IS THE WORST. IT WILL NOT TRACK PROPERLY AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS. IT WANDERS RANDOMLY TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT. NOT ALIGNMENT AND NOT WIND CAUSED. YOU MUST MAKE SMALL CORRECTIONS EVERY SECOND OR TWO TO MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT LINE. PASSING OTHER VEHICLES AT HIGHWAY SPEED IS RISKY. THIS PROBLEM WAS FIRST NOTICED ON I-95 THE DAY I TOOK THE CAR HOME. MY WIFE DID NOT NOTICE IT WHEN SHE DRIVES UNDER 50MPH; BUT IS VERY EVIDENT AT 65-75MPH. IT IS VERY TIRING TO DRIVE THE CAR SINCE YOU MUST REMAIN TOTALLY FOCUSED WITH A FIRM GRIP ON THE STEERING WHEEL AT ALL TIMES SINCE YOU MUST RESPOND TO THE CAR'S RANDOM VEERS TO ONE OR THE OTHER SIDE. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY VEHICLE DO THIS BEFORE. I CAN SEE WHERE AN ACCIDENT WOULD BE VERY POSSIBLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN PASSING OR TRAVELING WITH OTHER VEHICLES TO YOUR LEFT OR RIGHT. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT MUST BE CORRECTED, ALONG WITH THE ACCELERATOR PROBLEM. I HAD PLANNED TO COMPLAIN TO MY TOYOTA DEALER IN ORANGEBURG, SOUTH CAROLINA WHEN I TOOK MY COROLLA IN FOR THE ACCELERATOR RECALL. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AS I HAVE OWNED TOYOTAS BEFORE AND, UNTIL THIS MONTH, WAS PLANNING TO BUY A 2011 TOYOTA TRUCK. THE STEERING PROBLEM IS REAL AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND CORRECTED. *TR
