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.

An inaccurate label could lead to owners overloading their vehicles and tires. An overloaded vehicle can result in a tire failure which may result in a vehicle crash, personal injury, or property damage.
Southeast Toyota will notify owners and provide a corrected label with instructions concerning its installation. A small group of the affected vehicles will need additonal remedies which are still being developed. The recall began on May 28, 2013. Owners may contact Southeast Toyota at 1-800-301-6859.

DUE TO THE MANNER IN WHICH THE FRICTION LEVER INTERACTS WITH THE SLIDING SURFACE OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL INSIDE THE PEDAL SENSOR ASSEMBLY, THE SLIDING SURFACE OF THE LEVER MAY BECOME SMOOTH DURING VEHICLE OPERATION. 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.

WE HAVE A NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA WITH ABOUT 3,000 MILES ON IT. THE STEERING ON THIS CAR IS "STRANGE" -- IT HAS LITTLE TO NO ROAD FEEDBACK AND SEEMS TO HAVE "DEAD SPOTS" IN IT -- YOU HAVE TO GIVE IT MORE EFFORT TO GET PASS THESE. THE RESULT IS THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO KEEP IT IN A STEADY/SMOOTH LINE WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY -- YOU NEED TO MAKE CONSTANT CORRECTIVE MOVEMENTS TO THE STEERING WHEEL. THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO ROAD FEEL/FEEDBACK CONTRIBUTES TO THIS PROBLEM.

I BOUGHT A 2010 COROLLA ON JANUARY 15, 2010. I AM NOT PLEASED WITH THE WAY IT STEERS. AT FIRST, I ATTRIBUTED IT TO BEING A NEW CAR AS EVERYTHING HAS TO BE BROKEN IN. HOWEVER, AFTER NEARLY 4 WEEKS, IT'S STILL THE SAME. THE CAR IS VERY HARD TO DRIVE IN A STRAIGHT LINE. THE STEERING WHEEL SEEMS EXTREMELY TIGHT. THE LEAST LITTLE THING WILL CAUSE THE CAR TO VEER TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT. IT REQUIRES EXCESSIVE GRIP ON THE WHEEL. IT'S LIKE FIGHTING WIND ALL THE TIME. AND WHEN THE WIND IS BLOWING, IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO HANDLE. IS THIS SITUATION BEING REPORTED BY OTHER COROLLA OWNERS? AND IF SO, WILL THE ISSUE BE INVESTIGATED? MY DAUGHTER IS THE PRIMARY DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE AND SHE SAYS SHE EXPERIENCES THE SAME ISSUE. WE'VE NOT EXPERIENCED ANY ACCIDENTS OR INCIDENTS, YET! IT'S A SCARY SITUATION. *TR

I WAS JUST READING THIS ARTICLE ON MSNBC ABOUT 2010 COROLLAS (HTTP://WWW.MSNBC.MSN.COM/ID/35314540/NS/BUSINESS-AUTOS/) AND YES! I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME AS WELL. THE CAR VEERS TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT, AND DOES MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO STAY IN THE LANE. IT DOESN'T OCCUR ALL THE TIME HOWEVER. I HAVEN'T NOTICED IF IT ONLY OCCURS GOING OVER A CERTAIN SPEED, OR HOW TO REPRODUCE ON A CONSISTENT BASIS. ALL I KNOW, IS THAT IT IS MOST DEFINITELY A PROBLEM! *TR

I OWN A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKE, THERE IS A SHUDDERING FEELING AND SOUND BEFORE THE BRAKING HOOKS IN. I WOULD SAY THIS HAS HAPPEND ABOUT 10 TIMES IN THE 6 MONTHS I HAVE OWNED THE CAR. IN LIGHT OF THE OTHER BRAKING PROBLEMS, I AM MORE AND MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ONE. I PLAN TO DISCUSS THIS TO WITH TOYOTA WHEN I TAKE MY CAR FOR THE OTHER BREAKING AND ACCELERATOR REPAIRS. HOWEVER, IN LIGHT OF ALL OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THE NEW CARS, WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE BEFORE THE DOT INSISTS THAT THERE BE A BUYBACK OF THESE 2009-1010 CARS, WHICH ARE OBVIOUSLY FULL OF PROBLEMS. WHERE WILL IT END? MORE ACCIDENTS? I WANT MY MONEY BACK. *TR

1) 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA SPORT STEERING IS NON-RESPONSIVE AND LACKS ANY FEEDBACK OR ON-CENTER FEEL. CAR IS VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP ON TRACK, ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY, AND REQUIRES CONSTANT CORRECTION TO STAY IN THE LANE. STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT RETURN TO CENTER WHEN TURNING AT HIGHER (>35MPH) SPEEDS. 2) THE CONDITION IS ALWAYS PRESENT. 3) CAR WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALER AND WAS RE-ALIGNED AFTER 500 MILES. CONDITION CHANGED VERY LITTLE AND IS STILL PRESENT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY CAUSE OF SNOWY CONDITIONS, I APPLIED THE BRAKES GENTLY STARTING ALMOST 20 -30 FT BEFORE REACHING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, TO MAKE A STOP BUT THERE WAS NO RESPONSE AND THE CAR JUST ROLLED ON TO HIT A FORD SUV. WITH THE BRAKE FULLY DEPRESSED I WAS ALMOST 10 FEET AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. NO ONE WAS INJURED. THE CAR DID NOT SWING OR SKID, IT WENT STRAIGHT. MY CAR FRONT BUMPER AND HOOD WAS DAMAGED. THIS IS MY FIRST ACCIDENT IN MY DRIVING CAREER. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER, AND LODGED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA. *TR

I OWN A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S. OCASSIONALLY WHEN I'M BRAKING, MY CAR DOESN'T WANT TO BRAKE. IT MAKES A GRINDING FEELING UNDER MY FOOT. THEN I HAVE TO QUICKLY APPLY THE BRAKE AGAIN TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A FLUKE AT FIRST OR DUE TO THE ROAD BEING WET, BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY, AND THE PAVEMENT WAS DRY. LUCKILY I DON'T WAIT UNTIL THE LAST SECOND TO BRAKE, AND I DON'T TAILGATE. *CN

AS I WAS TURNING OFF A MAIN ROAD TO A STORE PARKING LOT MY VEHICLE BEGAIN TO ACCELERATE AFTER I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE. I WAS GOING ABOUT 10MPH AT THE TIME. I WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY STOP THE CAR AND TURN IT OFF. AT THIS TIME, I WILL NOT ALLOW ANYONE IN MY FAMILY TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. I AM AN ENGINEER AND THERE IS NO QUESTION IN MY MIND THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN AFTER I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE AND I WAS DRIVING ON A ROAD WITH NO GRADE (FLAT ROAD).

I AM EXTREMLY WORRIED AFTER THE NEWS CAME OUT REGARDING THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION FOR TOYOTA CARS. I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA LE FOR MY WIFE AND I AM ASKING IF I HAVE THE RIGHT TO RETURN IT SINCE TOYOTA HASN'T REALLY SOLVED THIS PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE HALTED THE SALE FOR THIS CAR. NEITHER MY WIFE OR I HAVE DRIVEN IT SINCE THE NEWS CAME OUT AS WE ARE WORRIED, AS MY CHILDREN ARE WORRIED, ABOUT BEING IN A CAR THAT MAY HAVE ACCELERATION PROBLEMS AT ANY TIME. *CN

AS I WAS COMING DOWNHILL ON STEEP MT. HELIX AND STEPPED ON THE BRAKES, THE CAR ACCELERATED INSTEAD OF REDUCING THE SPEED, AT THAT MOMENT I COULD CLEARLY HEAR THE ROTATION ACTUALLY INCREASING. I HAD TO PRESS IT HARDER AND CONTROL THE WHEEL TO GET IT TO REDUCE THE SPEED. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 OTHER TIMES WHILE DRIVING DOWNHILL IN THE 2 MONTHS I HAVE OWNED THIS 2010 COROLLA. THE NEXT MORNING I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAITED FOR ABOUT 1 HOUR FOR THE CAR TO BE INSPECTED AND THE PEDAL ACCELERATOR RECALL ISSUE FIXED, BUT THE SERVICE STAFF TOLD ME THAT THE BRAKES WERE FINE AND THEY HAD RUN OUT OF THE RECALL PARTS. THEY COULD NOT GIVE ME A TIME TABLE WHEN THE PARTS WERE GOING TO ARRIVE. I ALSO CONTACTED 2 OTHER DEALERSHIPS LATER THAT DAY, AND THE ONLY ANSWER I GOT WAS THAT " WE WERE ALL IN THE SAME BOAT", NOBODY KNEW WHEN SAID PARTS WERE EXPECTED TO ARRIVE. *CN

I BOUGHT MY 2010 COROLLAS ON JAN 13TH. WHEN I DROVE IT HOME FOR THE FIRST TIME, I FOUND IT WAS VERY HARD TO KEEP IT IN THE CENTER OF THE LANE AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I HAD TO KEEP ADJUSTING MY STEERING WHEEL. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER TWO DAYS LATER. THEY MADE SOME ADJUST AND IT IS NOT THAT BAD NOW, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I THINK THIS PROBLEM IS MORE SERIOUS THAN THE GAS PEDAL PROBLEM, BECAUSE THIS AFFECT DRIVING IMMEDIATELY AND DIRECTLY. TOYOTA SAYS THAT THIS IS HOW EPS IS DESIGNED, AND WE HAVE TO ADAPT OURSELVES. BUT NO MATTER HOW THE STEERING SYSTEM IS DESIGNED, MOVING STRAIGHT FORWARD SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE. *TR
