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 PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2010 COROLLA AT TOYOTA CITY, MAMARONECK, NY ON 8/31/09. I FELT VIBRATION IN THE STEERING MECHANISM, A STRANGE FEELING IN THE BRAKES, HEARD A NOISE IN STEERING WHEEL, AND A STRANGE FEELING IN THE WAY THE CAR RODE IMMEDIATELY WHEN TURNING AND BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 10/5/09. I DID NOT BRING IT BACK RIGHT AWAY DUE TO TIME CONSTRAINTS, AND I FELT MAYBE I NEEDED TO GET USED TO THE CAR. I HAD A 2003 COROLLA BEFORE, AND THIS CAR FELT COMPLETELY DIFFERENT IN ITS RIDE. NOT AS TIGHT A RIDE. ON 10/5/09 THE CAR WAS IN THE SHOP ALL DAY AND THEY FOUND IT HAD WARPED ROTORS AND NEEDED NEW BRAKES. THEY TOLD ME THE CAR'S BRAKES MAYBE HAD GOTTEN WET SITTING IN THE RAIN, WHICH CAUSED THE PROBLEM. I FELT THAT WAS VERY ODD ON A BRAND NEW CAR, AND WITH ITS PREDELIVERY INSPECTING THIS WAS MISSED. THEY COVERED THE REPAIR. I DROVE THE CAR AGAIN AND BROUGHT IT BACK ON 10/19/09. THERE WAS STILL THE SAME PROBLEM, WITH A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS TIME THEY BALANCED THE TIRES. AGAIN, NOT CLEAR WHY THEY DID NOT DO THIS BEFORE. I STILL HEARD A NOISE IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND FELT THE CAR DID NOT HAVE A TIGHT DRIVING FEEL. THEY TOLD ME TO LIVE WITH THE STEERING WHEEL PROBLEM. IT WAS HOW THE POWER ASSIST SYSTEM WORKED IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE STEERING FEELS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM MY 2003 TOYOTA COROLLA. I HAVE FELT THE BRAKES DO NOT RESPOND WELL, AND PULSATE ON ENGAGEMENT, AND I FEEL THE CAR STILL MOVES FORWARD, WHEN TRYING TO STOP. ON 1/23/10 I HIT A DEER. I LIVE IN AN AREA WHERE THERE A LOT OF DEER AND FOR 18 YEARS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP AND NEVER HIT ONE. NOT SURE WHAT WENT WRONG HERE. ON 2/5/10, GREEN TREE TOYOTA IN DANBURY, CT TEST DROVE MY CAR FOR THE BRAKES. SAID THEY WERE FINE.

FOR CAR BRAKING SYSTEM: AS YOU PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, YOU HAVE TO PRESS IT REALLY HARD FOR IT TO START TO STOP THE CAR,IF YOU STOP THE CAR, AND RELEASE THE BREAK PEDAL THE CAR GOES SO FAST THAT IT SEEMS LIKE YOU ARE PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL ( BUT NOBODY IS PRESSING NO PEDAL AT ALL). THE BRAKING ON A SHALLOW ROAD MAKES THE CAR SHAKE ESPECIALLY THE BRAKING PEDALS AND IT MAKES NOISE, AND AT THE SAME TIME IT IS NEEDED TO PUT SOME EXTRA FORCE AND PUSH THE BRAKES REALLY HARD FOR IT TO WORK, THE ROAD DOES NOT NEED TO BE THAT BAD FOR IT TO HAPPEN, AT TIMES IT HAPPENS ON A VERY SMALL DEPRESSION. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S ON OCT. 22, 2009. AT BITTERROOT MOTORS IN MISSOULA, MONTANA. THE DAY AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR I DROVE IT TO OVANDO, MONTANA, NORTH OF MISSOULA, ON A TRYOUT ROAD TRIP. I NOTICED THAT IT WAS FLIGHTY ON THE ROAD AND SEEMED TO WAVER WITHOUT REASON (NO WIND, NO SEMI TRUCKS, WIND SHEAR, RAIN, ETC). BEING A NEW CAR TO ME, I PASSED IT OFF AS THE NATURE OF A LIGHTER AND SMALLER VEHICLE THAN WHAT I WAS ACCUSTOMED TO DRIVING (MY OTHER VEHICLE IS A 2004 FORD F150). SINCE THAT TIME, I HAVE CONTINUALLY EXPERIENCED THIS WITH NO EXTERNAL EXPLANATION (IE: WEATHER, ROAD CONDITIONS, ETC). THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO HAPPEN AT SPEEDS OF 50 MPH AND OVER AND IT IS A CONSISTENT ISSUE. I COMMUTE REGULARLY BETWEEN STEVENSVILLE, MT., AND MISSOULA, MT., FOR WORK (28 MILES ONE WAY), AND I OFTEN FIND THAT THE CAR WILL DRIFT LEFT OR RIGHT WHEN I AM AT A STEADY SPEED. THIS IS IN ADDITION TO THE FACT THAT MY VEHICLE IS ON THE LIST OF RECALLS FOR THE RECENT ACCELERATOR ISSUE. I NEED TO ADD HERE THAT THE SECOND DAY AFTER BUYING THE CAR, I WAS GETTING FUEL AND AS I TURNED FROM THE PUMP TO RE-ENTER THE CAR, "POP!!" AND THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW TOTALLY SHATTERED. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALER AT BITTERROOT MOTORS AND DROVE IT TO THEIR SERVICE DEPT TO GET IT FIXED. THEY REPLACED THE WINDOW UNDER WARRANTY, AND TOLD ME THEY SUSPECTED IT WAS A PREEXISTING STRESS FRACTURE IN THE GLASS THAT FINALLY GAVE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BASED ON SAFETY RATINGS, CONSUMER REPORTS RATINGS, AND TO GET BETTER GAS MILEAGE ON MY NECESSARY TRIPS TO AND FROM WORK. IT ISN'T HARD TO UNDERSTAND THE STRESS OF THIS SITUATION, NOT TO MENTION ECONOMIC HARDSHIP. I PAID FOR THE CAR OUTRIGHT ($18,075) AND IT PHYSICALLY SICKENS ME TO THINK THAT SUCH SERIOUS ISSUES EXIST. I HAVEN'T EVEN OWNED IT 5 MONTHS! AT THIS POINT I AM FEARFUL OF EVEN DRIVING THE CAR. IF THE WORLD WORKED IN GOOD WAYS, TOYOTA WOULD REPLACE THIS VEHICLE COMPLETELY, AND PREFERABLY WITH SOMETHING OTHER THAN ANOTHER TOYOTA. *TR

I PURCHASED A NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA FROM AUTOWAY TOYOTA IN SAINT PETERSBURG FOR MY WIFE ON 12/06/09. WE WERE STRESSED OUT AFTER HOURS OF HAGGLING AND HIGH PRESSURE FROM THE SALESMEN. THE NEXT DAY WHEN I DROVE THE CAR MORE (WITH ONLY 40 MILES ON IT) I NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WAS HARD TO HANDLE. IT WANDERED. I FOUND THAT I HAVE TO KEEP 2 HANDS ON THE WHEEL AND EYES WIDE AS IT IS UNPREDICTABLE. IN AROUND 6 OR 7 DAYS I WAS BACK AT AUTOWAY TRYING FOR HOURS TO GET THEM TO TAKE IT BACK AND SELL ME A CAMRY FOR MORE MONEY!! THE COROLLA HAD ONLY 85 MILES ON IT. BUT THEY SAID IT HAD BEEN TITLED, SO THEY WANTED TO BUY IT BACK FOR A $3000+ LOSS TO US, AND THEN MAKE MONEY ON THE SALE OF ANOTHER VEHICLE (WHICH IS THE WAYS OF THE CAR DEALER). WE ARE STUCK. SO, IF ASKED, I WOULD TESTIFY IN COURT THAT THE STEERING IN THIS CAR COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE ODDS ARE MUCH HIGHER WITH THIS STEERING SYSTEM, THAT SOMEONE COULD BE HURT OR KILLED. A CAR WITH ONLY 40 MILES ON IT AND YOU NOTICE A PROBLEM LIKE THIS? IMAGINE WHEN IT HAS 100,000 MILES AND WORN TIRES! I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED TOYOTA, UNTIL THIS. IT MAKES ME SICK EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT, AND MAKE THE PAYMENT! I TOLD MY FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND AUTOWAY 2 MONTHS BEFORE TODAYS NEWS ABOUT THE STEERING PROBLEM BROKE!! ANY WAY I CAN HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM(ESPECIALLY IF THEY(AUTOWAY/ AND TOYOTA) WILL TAKE THE CAR BACK, I WILL! CALL ME TO TESTIFY..*TR

MULTIPLE INCIDENTS... THE THREE MOST RECENT OCCURRED ON 2/8, 2/10, AND 2/15 OF 2010. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE WE PURCHASED THE CAR, I FIGURED IT WAS JUST BECAUSE IT WAS A NEW VEHICLE AND NEEDED DRIVEN (BROKEN IN) SO THE BRAKES WOULD FIND THEIR BEST WORKING LEVELS. THE PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN DRIVING, AT ANY SPEED, AND IN ALL ROAD CONDITIONS. THE INCIDENT ON 2/8 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND ONLY GOING ABOUT 5-8 MPH. AS SHE MADE A TURN THE CAR PROCEEDED TO SHUTTER AND THE LOW TRACTION LIGHT AGAIN CAME ON, NO BRAKING WAS AVAILABLE DURING THIS INCIDENT, BUT LUCKILY SHE WAS ABLE TO COME TO A STOP BEFORE HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE. ON 2/10 I WAS GOING TO TAKE THIS CAR TO FINALLY HAVE THEM FIX THE PROBLEM AND IN (VERY SAFE) GOOD DRIVING CONDITIONS I EXPERIENCED WHAT MY WIFE HAD EXPLAINED THAT THE CAR HAS BEEN DOING FOR THE BETTER OF 6 MONTHS. AS YOU PROCEED TO COME TO A STOP THE CAR ACCELERATES UPON DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. WHEN THIS HAPPENS (I HAVE TESTED THIS) IF YOU KEEP THE PEDAL AT THE SAME POINT THE CAR WILL CONTINUE TO SPEED UP SLOWLY, BUT IF YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE BRAKE THE CAR SEEMS TO MAINTAIN THE SPEED. NOW THIS IS WHERE MY WIFE WILL NOT DRIVE THE CAR ANY LONGER, WHEN YOU PRESS THE BRAKE FURTHER DOWN TO STOP IT LOCKS THE TIRES FOR ABOUT A SECOND BEFORE THE ABS EVEN KICKS IN. BEING THAT THIS IS A COLD AREA AND WE LIKELY HAVE SNOW DURING THE WINTER MONTHS I AM AMAZED THAT IF ANY OTHER COROLLA ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM THEY ALL HAVE NOT SLID OFF THE ROAD. WHEN I EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM ON 2/10 I WAS GOING TO TAKE IT TO TOYOTA FOR SERVICE. NEVER MADE IT, DID NOT TRUST THE VEHICLE TO SAFELY GET ME TO MY DESTINATION WITHOUT INJURY TO MYSELF, OTHERS, OR PROPERTY. THE LAST INCIDENT ON 2/15 WAS THE SAME PROBLEM, AND AT THIS POINT MY WIFE WILL NO LONGER DRIVE THE CAR. THIS IS THE VEHICLE WE PURCHASED TO KEEP OUR NEWBORN SAFE... LOOKS TO HAVE BEEN A POOR CHOICE. I FINALLY RISKED MY LIFE AND TOOK IT TO TOYOTA TONIGHT, WE WILL SEE WHAT COMES OF THIS. THANKS *TR

I PURCHASED A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S ON 11-7-2009. ON THE TEST DRIVE I COMPLAINED TO THE SALESMAN THAT THE STEERING FELT STRANGE. IT SEEMED TO HAVE A CENTER SPOT AND THEN ANY LEFT OR RIGHT TURN WOULD CAUSE A MINOR PULL EITHER DIRECTION AS IF THE STEERING TURNED ON. THE SALESMAN SAID IT WAS THE ELECTRIC STEERING ON ALL THE NEW CARS. THAT WAS A SLOW SPEED TEST DRIVE. AFTER THE PURCHASE I GOT ON THE INTERSTATE AND WAS SHOCKED TO FEEL THE STEERING FEEL AS IF I WERE GOING AROUND A SEMI TRACTOR TRAILER RIG AND BEING PUSHED AROUND BY THE WIND, BUT YET I WAS NOT NEAR A VEHICLE. IT SEEMED LIKE LOOSE STEERING OR TIRE SQUIRM. WHEN I GOT BACK FROM MY TRIP I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER AND ASKED IF THERE IS AN ADJUSTMENT ON THE POWER STEERING OR IF THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE TIRES. TO BOTH QUESTIONS MY SERVICE ADVISOR SAID NO. ON ANOTHER TRIP ON THE INTERSTATE, IT ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTED ACTING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO FISH TAIL SWINGING BACK AND FORTH, LIKE I WAS RIDDING ON BALLOON TIRES, OR WITHOUT SIDEWALLS. I QUICKLY SLOWED DOWN. IN CROSS WINDS OR GOING AROUND A SEMI IT IS WORSE. AT MY 5,000 SERVICE, I ASKED IF THERE ARE ANY STEERING OR TIRE ISSUES, AND MY ADVISOR STILL SAID NO, BUT PART OF THE SERVICE WAS TO ROTATE THE TIRES, AND THIS HAS SEEMED TO LESSEN THE SQUIRM. I NOW HAVE 7,000 MILES ON MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CAR HAS A VERY LOOSE STEERING SYSTEM. WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING AT SPEEDS UNDER 45 MPH THE STEERING IS VERY UNRESPONSIVE AND EXTREMELY LIGHT TO TURN. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE CAR WILL MOVE AROUND THE LANE WITHOUT MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CAR SEEMS TO PULL FROM SIDE TO SIDE SIMILAR TO THE ALIGNMENT BEING OUT OF LINE, BUT IT GOES BOTH WAYS IN AN ALMOST JERKY MOTION. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THIS MAY HAVE BEEN CHANGES IN THE ROAD CONDITIONS, BUT THE CAR WILL DO IT ON COMPLETELY SMOOTH AND FLAT PAVEMENT. NO CORRECTIVE ACTIONS HAVE BEEN TAKEN. *TR

MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA LE SEEMS TO WANDER RANDOMLY LEFT OR RIGHT. IT IS DIFFICULT TO TRAVEL IN A STRAIGHT LINE WITHOUT FREQUENT ADJUSTMENT TO THE STEERING COLUMN. IT FEELS LIKE I AM DRIVING ON A WINDY DAY AND THE CAR IS BEING TOSSED AROUND. ACTUALLY, ANY WIND AT ALL ONLY MAKES THE MATTER MUCH WORSE. ALMOST FEELS LIKE THE REAR END OF THE CAR HAS A SLIGHT FISHTAILING. THIS IS ALL MOST NOTICEABLE AT 45 MPH AND ABOVE. LOCAL SERVICE DEPT. COULD NOT LOOK AT IT FOR THREE WEEKS. I WILL NOT LET MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER DRIVE THIS CAR. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR ONLY SIX WEEKS AND WOULD SURELY GIVE IT BACK IF I COULD. DISAPPOINTED THAT I DID NOT GET A RESPONSE TO MY EMAILS SENT TO TOYOTA. *TR

I HAVE ONE OF THE NOTORIOUS TOYOTA COROLLA. THE GAS PEDAL HAS BE FIXED-MAYBE BUT I NOW NOTICE AN EXTREMELY TOUCHY STEERING. IT SEEMS TO TURN OK BUT ON THE STRAIGHT AWAY YOU HAVE TO KEEP BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL TIGHTLY IT JERKS FROM RIGHT TO LEFT ALWAYS! THE FASTER YOU GO THE MORE PRONOUNCED. I USED TO LIVE IN PHILA AND REMEMBER WHAT IT FELT LIKE DRIVING ON ICE THIS IS QUITE SIMILAR. VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP IN YOUR OWN LANE. YOU GUYS NEED TO LOOK INTO THIS. I CALLED THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THIS MESS FROM AND ASKED TO COME IN AND HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT. WE'LL SEE. *TR

AT SPEED IT IS DIFFICULT TO STEER AND CONTROL MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S. IT "DRIFTS" FROM SIDE-TO-SIDE. IF I DO NOT USE BOTH HANDS, THE CAR DRIFTS FROM THE LANE MARKER, AND AT TIMES INTO THE NEXT LANE (TO MY LEFT). I HAVE TO OVERCOMPENSATE AND CORRECT TO THE RIGHT SO THAT I DO NOT STRIKE SOMEONE. THE STEERING FEELS VERY LOOSE. I FIRST NOTICED THIS CHARACTERISTIC A FEW WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE (APPROXIMATELY 12-20-09. THEIR IS NOT ONE PARTICULAR INCIDENT, BUT RATHER IT IS A PERSISTENT CHARACTERISTIC OF THE STEERING. *TR

THE STEERING ON MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA IS VERY "LOOSE" - IN OTHER WORDS, THE CAR TENDS TO WANDER WITHIN A LANE WHILE GOING STRAIGHT. IT TAKES MORE THAN NORMAL VIGILANCE TO KEEP THE CAR GOING STRAIGHT. IT SEEMS TO BE BUFFETED BY THE WIND (SUCH AS WHEN PASSING A LARGE TRUCK) MORE THAN ANY OTHER VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED. I FEEL THE NECESSITY TO KEEP BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL TO KEEP THE CAR FROM DRIFTING ON THE ROAD. OTHER VEHICLES I HAVE HAD TRACK IN A STRAIGHT LINE EVEN WITH MY HANDS OFF OF THE STEERING WHEEL - NOT SO WITH THE COROLLA. THE CAR REQUIRES A LOT OF ATTENTION TO DRIVE AND CAN BE TIRING TO DRIVE FOR EXTENDED PERIODS. *TR
