Air bags, air bag/restraint control moduleJan 17, 2020
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2011-2019 Corolla, 2011-2013 Matrix, 2012-2018 Avalon, and 2013-2018 Avalon Hybrid vehicles. During certain crashes, the air bag electronic control unit (ECU) may malfunction, possibly disabling the deployment of the air bags and/or seat belt pretensioners.
In the event of a crash, air bags and/or seat belt pretensioners that do not deploy as intended may increase the risk of injury.
Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the ECU and install a noise filter between the air bag control module and its wire harness, as necessary, free of charge. Owners were notified of the safety risk beginning March 2, 2020. A second letter notifying owners of the remedy repair will be mailed between March 16, 2020 and June 27, 2020. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-888-270-9371. Toyota's numbers for this recall are 20TB03, 20TA03 and 20TA05.

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.

Southeast Toyota Distributors, LLC (SET) is recalling certain models interspersed through model years 2009 through 2013 as follows: model year 2009-2012 Tacoma, 4Runner, Camry, Camry Hybrid, Prius, and RAV4; model year 2009-2010 Avalon, FJ Cruiser, and Highlander Hybrid; model year 2010-2013 model year Corolla, Sienna and Tundra; model year 2009-2013 Highlander and Venza; model year 2012 Prius V; and model year 2010-2012 Sequoia. During modification by SET to include accessories such as leather seat covers, seat heaters or headrest DVD systems, these vehicles may not have had the passenger seat occupant sensing system calibration tested. Without passing the calibration test, the occupant sensing system may not operate as designed.
If the front passenger seat occupant sensing system is out of calibration, the front passenger airbags may not deploy or they may deploy inappropriately for the passenger's size and position. This could increase the risk of personal injury during the event of a vehicle crash necessitating airbag deployment.
Southeast Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will test the sensitivity of the occupant detection sensors, and recalibrate them as necessary. The recall began on March 21, 2013. Owners may contact Southeast Toyota at 1-800-301-6859.

Engine, Dec 13, 2017
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2011 TOYOTA COROLLA WITH 45K MILES. FOR THE PAST MONTH WHEN TRAVELING BETWEEN 40 AND 70 MPH THE CAR LOOSES POWER. THE TACHOMETER WILL GO DOWN 200 TO 300 RPMS IN A MATTER OF A FEW SECONDS. IT IS LIKE THE ENGINE IS FLUTTERING THEN AFTER 10 TO 30 SECONDS POWER RETURNS AND THE RMPS RETURN TO THE PREVIOUS SETTING. THIS LOSS OF POWER MAKES THE VEHICLE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I STARTED LOOKING AT COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE-SOME FOUND THE PROBLEM TO BE IN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. I CHANGED THE PEDAL BUT IT DID NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AFTER MORE RESEARCH I DISCOVERED THAT THERE IS A AN OFFICIAL SERVICE BULLETIN REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. THE CARS COMPUTER HAS TO BE REPROGRAMMED (FLASH). I CALLED THE TOYOTA WEBSITE TO ASK ABOUT THE PROCEEDURE AND IF TOYOTA PAID FOR THIS-ALSO NO HELP. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION AND TOYOTA SHOULD PAY FOR THIS PROCEEDURE I AM NOT THE ONLY VICTIM. TOYOTA COULD NOT TELL ME HOW MANY OTHER 2011 COROLLAS REPORTED THIS PROBLEM.

I HAD COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER AND HAD THEM CHECK MY BREAKS FOUR TIMES BECAUSE OF A STOPPING ISSUE. SHORTLY BEFORE MY CRASH MY BREAKS WOULD SCREECH, AND I THOUGHT IT TO BE DURT ON MY BREAKS, OR BREAK DUST. I HAD TAKEN THE CAR TO A RECOMMENDED BREAK SHOP TO GET MY BREAKS CHECKED OUT. THEY SAID THE BREAK PADS, RODERS, CALIPERS ETC WERE IN GOOD CONDITION WITH ONLY ONE OR TWO ISSUES. I ASKED THEM TO REPLACE THE RODERS, AND BREAK PADS WITH OEM PARTS. THE ISSUE NOW SITS WITH THE BREAKS BEING DEPRESSED AS HARD AS ONE CAN DEPRESS THEM, ONLY TO HAVE THE CAR NOT STOP, AND FEEL LIKE IT WAS SPEEDING UP. AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH, YOU COULD HEAR THE MOTOAR SPEEDING UP EVEN WITH MY FOOT ONLY ON THE BREAK AND CLEARLY THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP.

MY VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED IN A TIMELY MANOR. IT HAS BEEN WAY TOO LONG. TOYOTA CORPORATE WILL NOT WORK WITH ME, IN FACT, THEY HUNG UP ON ME TWICE ALREADY. THE DEALERSHIP KEEPS POINTING FINGERS BACK AT CORPORATE TO SOLVE THE ISSUE. CORPORATE IS TELLING THE CONSUMER THAT TAKATA IS TO BLAME.... THEY SIMPLY DO NOT CARE. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE. WHY ISN'T THE GOVERNMENT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BREWING AND IF I MUST PARTICIPATE IN IT, THEN I WILL. HOWEVER, WHY CAN'T THE GOVERNMENT FORCE THIS SCHEMING COMPANY TO REPLACE THE VEHICLES IF NOT FIXED IN A TIMELY MANNER? THE CALIFORNIA LEMON LAW (WHERE I LIVE) I THOUGHT COVERED THIS... BUT THE DEALERSHIP AND EVERYONE ELSE IS NOT WILLING TO WORK WITH IT. THEY ARE ALL POINTING FINGERS AT EACH OTHER AND NOTHING IS GETTING DONE. AT WHAT POINT DO I STRAIGHT UP SUE TOYOTA?

"TAKATA RECALL" THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. THIS SOLELY INVOLVES THE NATURE OF THE RECALL. THE 16V340000 RECALL DOES NOT PROVIDE FOR RECALL OF 2011 COROLLAS THAT WERE SOLD AND REGISTERED IN ZONE C. YET MANY OWNERS LIVE IN THE ZONE A AREA FOR PART OF THE YEAR TYPICALLY FOR 4,5, OR 6 MONTHS OR MORE. IF THEY DID NOT CHANGE THE REGISTRATION TO FLORIDA FOR EXAMPLE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT BE RECALLED YET WOULD HAVE BEEN SUBJECT TO ZONE A CONDITIONS FOR PART OF THE YEAR. IN MY CASE IT HAS BEEN SIX MONTHS FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS AND FOUR MONTHS FOR ONE YEAR. I CANNOT FIND OUT IF MY VEHICLE HAS A TAKATA AIRBAG AND, IF IT DOES IS IT ONE WITH THE DEFECTIVE INFLATOR.
