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.

Vehicle speed control, Mar 21, 2018
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL CAUSES THE CAR TO DOWN-SHIFT UNNECESSARILY ON A STRAIGHT DOWNHILL GRADE AND SOMETIMES INCREASES THE SPEED BY AS MUCH AS 8-10 MPH. I FEEL OUT OF CONTROL, WHICH IS DANGEROUS. A TOYOTA TECHNICIAN HAS CONFIRMED THE SAME BEHAVIOR ON ANOTHER 2017 COROLLA. ON ONE OCCASION, ON A FREEWAY DOWNHILL WHERE THE SPEED COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN CONTROLLED BY LETTING OFF THE GAS, THE CAR DOWNSHIFTED TO D3, REVS WENT TO ABOUT 4000, AND THE SPEED INCREASED TO 70MPH - WHEN IT WAS SET TO ABOUT 62. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, ON A RELATIVELY FLAT, STRAIGHT FREEWAY ROAD, IT AGAIN DOWNSHIFTED FOR NO APPARENT REASON, AND THE SPEED AGAIN INCREASED OVER THE SET SPEED (OF COURSE THE REVS WERE HIGHER AGAIN). IN BOTH OF THE ABOVE CASES, THERE WAS NO CAR OR OTHER OBSTACLE IN FRONT OF ME THAT SHOULD CAUSE THE CAR TO SLOW DOWN. I'VE SEEN THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE RESPOND TO A CAR TOO CLOSE SO KNOW HOW THAT FEELS.
Service brakes, Mar 17, 2018, crash
ON OCTOBER 22, 2017, WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP BEHIND 3 OTHER VEHICLES. THE FIRST VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKES, BECAUSE I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP, WAS HIT FROM BEHIND BY A TRUCK. THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD TOWARDS THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, AND I MASHED MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO STOP IT, BUT IT WOULD NOT STOP. MY CAR KEPT ACCELERATING FORWARD, WHILE I WAS FRANTICALLY KEPT MASHING MY BRAKES TO THE FLOOR. THE TOYOTA COROLLA NEVER STOPPED UNTIL I PULLED UP THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR, THAT I PURCHASED ONLY SINCE JUNE OF 2017. I WAS TERRIFIED WHILE MY KEPT GOING, AND WAS INJURED FROM THE CAR HITTING ME FROM BEHIND.

BOTH FRONT SEATS ARE LOOSE. I NOTICE MINE IS LOOSE WHEN I MAKE A SUDDEN STOP OR AND GO OF BUMPS AND DIPS. I BEEN TO SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS, BUT ONLY ONE IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM. THE ADVISOR SAID IT WILL TAKE LITERALLY 8 HOURS EACH, I CALLED TOYOTA TO LET THEM KNOW OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT THE MECHANIC FROM THE DEALER WHO NOTICED THE PROBLEM. HE ALSO SAID HE NOTICED THE NOISE I WAS TALKING ABOUT WHEN I GO OVER DIPS AND BUMPS. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BALL JOINT OR BUSHING AND HE SAID NO. THEY NOISE IS JUST THERE
Air bags, Vehicle speed control, Mar 10, 2018, crash
MY CAR WAS STRUCK BY A CAR SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL MAINLY THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR CENTER POST AND REAR DOOR. I THINK THE CAR IS TOTALED. THE PASSENGER REAR WHEEL IS BENT FROM THE IMPACT. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE POLICE OFFICERS THAT WORKED THE ACCIDENT WAS ASTONISHED. HE SAID THEY SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. MY CAR WAS MOVING ABOUT 15MPH THE CAR THAT HIT MINE WAS SPINNING VERY FAST. THE ROADS WERE SLICK AND IT WAS RAINING. THE IMPACT WAS ABOUT 40 TO 60MPH AT LEAST.
Suspension, Vehicle speed control, Service brakes, Feb 19, 2018
THE CRUISE CONTROL IS JUST AWFUL AND HAS BEEN SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW IN DECEMBER 2016. JUST AS SEVERAL OTHERS HAVE DESCRIBED, IT CANNOT CONTROL THE SPEED WHEN GOING DOWN HILL. IT RAISES THE RPM'S TRYING TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN, BUT IT ISN'T VERY EFFECTIVE. I'VE NEVER HAD ANOTHER CAR OR ANOTHER TOYOTA HAVE SUCH POOR SPEED CONTROL. SO MUCH, THAT I DON'T EVEN BOTHER TRYING TO USE IT ANYMORE. A COP ISN'T GOING TO LISTEN TO "MY CRUISE CONTROL WASN'T WORKING RIGHT" IF I GET PULLED OVER. THE BRAKES ALREADY FEEL LIKE THEY ARE WEARING OUT AT 26K MILES. MY 13 CAMRY HAD 30K AND THE BRAKES STILL FELT BRAND NEW. SAME WITH THE 15 SENTRA I HAD. THE SUSPENSION FEELS ROUGHER AND IS STARTING TO MAKE NOISES ALREADY. THIS CAR SHOULDN'T FEEL LIKE IT HAS 60K MILES ON IT ALREADY.
Vehicle speed control, Feb 13, 2018
THE VEHICLE DOES THIS 100% OF THE TIME. WHEN ON THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ON THE INTERSTATE THERE ARE OCCASIONS WHERE THE CRUISE WILL GO 14 MPH ABOVE THE SET LIMIT AND THE ENGINE IS AT 4000 RPM OR HIGHER. I TYPICALLY DRIVE AT 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE; THIS IS CAUSING ME TO GO TO OVER 75 MPH WHILE THE SYSTEM IS TRYING TO RECOVER BACK TO 65MPH. I ALSO OWN A 2017 TOYOTA RAV4 AND DRIVE THE SAME ROADS; THE CRUISE IS 'ROCK STEADY'. IT HOLDS AT A CONSTANT 65MPH.

THE HEATER SYSTEM THAT HAS AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL EVERY TIME THAT YOU START THE CAR THE HEATER SYSTEM WILL BRING IN THE OUTSIDE COLD AIR INSTEAD OF RECIRCULATED AIR NOW MY WIFE DOES NOT LIKE THIS ONE BIT I TOOK THE WIFES CAR IN FOR SERVICE AT BRENT BROWN TOYOTA ON 01-17-2018 I TOLD THE SERVICE DEPT. ABOUT THE HEATER SYSTEM PROBLEM AND I FELT THAT I WAS GIVEN THE RUNAROUND AND I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THATS THE WAY IS IS!!!! ANY TIME YOU MAKE ANY HEATER CHANGES THE HEATER SYSTEM CAN BE ON RECIRCULATED AIR AND WILL CHANGE OVER ON ITS OWN TO THE COLD OUTSIDE AIR. WHILE DRIVING ANY WHERE. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME.
Steering, Wheels, Electronic stability control (ESC), Jan 8, 2018
I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW IN APRIL OF 2017 AND HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS, TIRES ARE ALWAYS FLAT, STEERING DOESN'T WORK RIGHT, WHEN I TURN MY CAR ON IT SOUNDS REALLY LOUD. BROUGHT IT TOYOTA 10 TIMES AND THEY DID ANYTHING, THERE IS CONSTANT SQUEAK NOISE AND MY ROOF FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BLOW OFF WHEN I AM ON THE INTERSTATE. GAS MILEAGE SUCKS TOYOTA STATES I GOT BAD GAS SO THEY FLUSHED IT OUT BUT STILL HEAR THAT LOUD NOISE. MY TIRES I HAVE TO FILL UP ONCE A WEEK BUT THEY SAY THEY ARE FINE. EVERYTHING IN THIS CAR IS CHEAP AND I HATE IT. THEY CHARGED ME 26 GRAND FOR A 17 THOUSAND CAR WITHOUT ME EVER KNOWING BRANDON TOYOTA IS THE WORST. SPOKE TO THE GENERAL MANAGER AND SERVICE MANAGER NOTHING IS EVER TAKEN CARE OF

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. THROWS 5 CODES ALL EMISSIONS AND FUEL ERRORS. TOYOTA DEALERSHIP HAD IT FOR A FULL DAY AND CAN NOT FIGURE OUT WHY/CAUSE. NEEDS FOR LONGER. 8000 MILES ON CAR.
Service brakes, Nov 30, 2017
BRAKES ARE SLVERY SOFT AND HAVE BEEN SINCE 500 MILES; AND FROM DAY ONE HAVE SEEMED TO SOFTEN OVER TIME. BRAKING DISTANCE IN MY OPINION IS DANGEROUS FROM THE FACTORY. I'VE HAD THEM ADJUSTED TWICE AND I'M ABOUT TO HAVE IT DONE A THIRD TIME. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AND HAVE DRIVEN 22K MILES. TOYOTA SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG BUT SINCE THE PEDAL FEEL IS BETTER AFTER THEY ADJUSTED THEM, AND SLOWLY GETS WORSE THEY OBVIOUSLY KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.

I WAS DRIVING HOME ON HAMILTON ROAD, IN COLUMBUS, OHIO, AT 535PM. I NOTICED THAT MY HEADLIGHTS WEREN'T ON, WHEN OTHER DRIVERS WERE TRYING TO WORN ME. I SET MY HEADLIGHTS ON AUTOMATIC WHEN I FIRST RECEIVED THE CAR. I FINALLY FOUND THE SWITCH TO TURN MY HEADLIGHTS ON MANUALLY. THEN MY CAR STARTED TO BRAKE 10-15 FEET FROM THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, MY TIRES WERE SQUEALING. MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL IT WAS STILL ON THE ACCELERATOR. IT WAS TOO LATE I HIT THE SUV IN FRONT ME. MY AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. THE ACCIDENT AVOIDANCE SYSTEM DIDN'T ACTIVATE UNTIL TO LATE. IT IS CLEAR THAT THE CAR RESPONDED AFTER THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH WAS MANUALLY TURNED ON INSTEAD OF BEING IN THE AUTO POSITION. IT WAS SUGGESTED AT A DEALERSHIP EARLIER THAT CYCLING THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM ON THE CAR COULD INADVERTENTLY DISARM IT. IF THAT WERE THE CASE AND IT WAS OFF ACCIDENTLY WHY DID THE CAR TRY TO BRAKE AT THE LAST SECOND ON ITS OWN BY TURNING ON THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED FOR THE DRIVER FOR THE VERY REASONS OF ITS SAFETY FEATURES UNFORTUNATELY THIS CAR COMPLETELY FAILED TO PROTECT THE DRIVER. THAT IS WHY I FEEL LIKE THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED AT IMMEDIATELY TO SEE IF THIS IS A MECHANICAL ISSUE, PROGRAM ISSUE, OR SIMPLY DRIVER ERROR, WHICH I DO NOT BELIEVE AT THIS POINT. I HAVE PHOTOS OF VEHICLE AND INTERIOR WHICH I AM UNABLE TO UPLOAD ON THIS SITE, THEY ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.
Vehicle speed control, Oct 30, 2017
ON INTERSTATE IN WESTERN MARYLAND AND WEST VIRGINIA, ROAD CURVES TO LEFT, GOING UPHILL (STEEP) AT 70 MPH AND 4000+ RPM IN DRIVE, 3 LANES, TRUCK IN "SLOW" RIGHT LANE (40MPH), COROLLA IN MIDDLE LANE, LEFT LANE EMPTY. SAFET SENSE "SEES" TRUCK AND HITS BRAKES. NO ONE BEHIND, THANKS. POSSIBLE REAR END COLLUSION. SERIOUS SAFETY FAULT. DIFFICULT FOR COROLLA TO REGAIN SPEED. DOES NOT HAPPEN ON RIGHT CURVE AS THOSE VEHICLES IN LEFT LANE ARE MOVING FASTER THAN COROLLA.
Vehicle speed control, Oct 23, 2017
THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING IN THE LEFT LANE OF A DIVIDED 4 LANE HIGHWAY AT A SPEED OF 55 MPH WITH THE SPEED CONTROL AND RADAR ENGAGED. THE ROAD CURVED SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT. THE VEHICLE APPROACHED A CAR STOPPED IN THE LEFT TURN LANE IN THE MEDIAN - NOT IT THE LANE OF TRAVEL. DUE TO THE CURVATURE OF THE ROAD, THE RADAR DETECTED THE STOPPED VEHICLE AND APPARENTLY BELIEVED IT TO BE IN THE PATH OF TRAVEL. THE RADAR/SPEED CONTROL SOUNDED ITS "COLLISION ALARM" AND RAPIDLY DECELERATED APPROXIMATELY 10 - 15 MPH BEFORE I COULD DISENGAGE IT AND REGAIN CONTROL. HAD THERE BEEN A VEHICLE FOLLOWING ME THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A COLLISION AS A FOLLOWING DRIVER WOULD HAVE SEEN THAT THE LANE OF TRAVEL WAS CLEAR AND WOULD HAVE NO REASON TO EXPECT MY VEHICLE TO SUDDENLY DECELERATE. I HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR ISSUES WHEN A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME TURNS RIGHT OR LEFT AT AN INTERSECTION. I CAN SEE THAT THE VEHICLE IS TURNING AND I KNOW HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO CLEAR THE TRAVEL LANE. THE RADAR SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM SEEMS TO DETECT THE SLOWING VEHICLE BUT TAKES A LONG TIME TO PROCESS WHAT IS HAPPENING. THE SPEED CONTROL WILL ABRUPTLY DECELERATE THE VEHICLE AFTER THE TURNING VEHICLE IS WELL OUT OF THE INTERSECTION. AGAIN, THE SUDDEN DECELERATION WITHOUT APPARENT TRAFFIC CONDITIONS TO WARRENT SUCH ACTION ARE A HAZARD TO THE VEHICLE AND ANY FOLLOWING VEHICLES. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT AT TOYOTA OF GOLDSBORO (NC) ON OCTOBER 23, 2017. THEIR OPINION WAS THAT THE SPEED CONTROL/RADAR WAS "OPERATING AS DESIGNED."
Vehicle speed control, Oct 6, 2017
SPEED CONTROL ENGAGED GOING DOWNHILL ON HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH - CAR ACCELERATES VERY QUICKLY TO OVER 70 MPH AND THE TAC GOES TO 4500. TO DISENGAGE I EITHER TURNOFF SPEED CONTROL OR BRAKE. THIS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES TODAY. I HAVE NEVER HAD A TOYOTA ACT LIKE THIS. USUALLY SPEED CONTROL MAINTAINS THE SPEED UPHILLL OR DOWNHILLL IN A VERY SMALL RANGE AND NEVER RACES THE ENGINE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I WILL NOT USE SPEED CONTROL UNTIL I CAN GET THIS FIXED. TAKING TO TOYOTA MONDAY. I NOTICED THAT THERE ARE QUITE A FEW COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS EXACT PROBLEM.
Electrical system, Vehicle speed control, Oct 3, 2017
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ACTIVATED AT 65 MPH, THE DYNAMIC RADAR FEATURE ACTIVATED VIOLENTLY. THERE WAS NO VEHICLE IN FRONT OF THE CONTACTS VEHICLE AT THAT TIME THAT SHOULD HAVE ACTIVATED THE DYNAMIC RADAR. THE DEALER (TOYOTA OF EASLEY, 5643 CALHOUN MEMORIAL HWY, EASLEY, SC 29640, (864) 855-2233) WAS NOTIFIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 700. *LN *TR

I JUST PURCHASED A 2017 COROLLA XSE IN FEB 2017. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL ON AND WAS TRAVELING TO WORK AT 05:15, AND I CAME TO AN OVERPASS AND ON THE WAY DOWN THE NORMAL OVERPASS OVER A CROSS STREET, I HEARD THE ENGINE REV AND I LOOKED AT THE TACH, AND IT WAS AT 5000 RPM. I WAS STARTLED. THE SAME THING HAPPENED AT THE NEXT OVERPASS. THIS TIME IT WAS 4000 RPM ALMOST AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS RATHER SHORT AVERAGE DOWNHILL. THIS IS STILL HAPPENING, BUT OCCASIONALLY IT DOES NOT. HOW COULD THIS POSSIBLY BE CORRECT. I CAN CONTROL THE SPEED QUITE NICELY WITH MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR WITHOUT HARDLY ANY VARIATION OF MY RPM'S. THIS JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT A LONG DOWNHILL ROAD THAT HAS A LANE FOR TRUCKS ON THE RIGHT, WHERE THEY WOULD HAVE TO DOWNSHIFT TO MAINTAIN A SAFE SPEED, THIS IS JUST OVERPASSES ON A FREEWAY SYSTEM. I ASKED MY SALESMAN, AND HE SAID THAT IT WAS PROBABLY NORMAL, AND I SAID HOW COULD IT BE NORMAL FOR THIS THING TO REV AT 5000 RPM ON A HOUSTON FREEWAY? I ONLY HAVE 5000 MILES ON THIS CAR. THIS WILL DEFINITELY AFFECT THE MILEAGE. I AM BESIDE MYSELF AT THIS POINT.

WAS DRIVING MY CAR HOME FROM WORK AND ABOUT 5 MINUTES AFTER I STARTED IT AND BEGAN TO DRIVE, I WENT OVER A SPEED BUMP GOING 5MPH AND SUDDENLY MY THEFT ALARM SYSTEM STARTS GOING OFF AND INCESSANTLY HONKING. MY HAZARD LIGHTS ALSO BEGAN TO BLINK AND MY HIGH BEAMS TURNED ON. I PULLED OVER AND PRESSED MY SMART KEY ALARM MULTIPLE TIMES UNTIL THE ALARM STOPPED. EVERY TIME I WOULD HIT ANY SORT OF BUMP OR USE MY TURN SIGNAL SWITCH, THE ALARM AND HEADLIGHTS LIGHTS WOULD START GOING OFF. I TOOK IT TO TOYOTA AND THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG. THEY SAID IT IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE, BUT NOT A TOYOTA ONE. THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE SINCE TOYOTA ENGINEERS THE ELECTRIC COMPONENTS.

MY NEW 2017 COROLLA HAS SQUEAKY BRAKES RIGHT OUT OF THE SHOWROOM WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES EVERY TIME, AND CONTINUES TO DO SO.
Power train, Aug 27, 2017
I OWN A TOYOTA COROLLA 2017 SINCE 1/14/17.CAR SHOWS 2 MAIN ISSUES: 1)- COOLING FLUID EVAPORATES CONTINUOSLY OR DECREASES FROM FLUID TANK AT ABOUT 1/4 OF IN. X MONTH EVERY TIME I'VE CHECKED IT IN. I,FIRST, REFILLED IT ONCE WITH CORRECT OR SAME FLUID.IT KEPT EVAPORATING AT THE SAME RATE.THEN,I REPORTED IT TO DEALERSHIP IT WAS SOLD. 2)- SHIFT LEVER OR GEAR CONTROL; THIS CAR COMES WITH CVT AUTOMATIC TRANS- MISSION, EVERY TIME I SHIFT SPEED GEAR AND MOVE KNOB FROM PARKING TO DRIVE POSITION AND VICE VERSE, THE SHIFTING DOESN'T OCURRES CORRECTLY OR GOT STUCK IN THE PREVIOUS SPEED TEMPORARELY AND THEN IT MOVES TO POSITION I SHIFTED. WHEN CAR IS APLLIED BRAKE PEDAL TO PARK CAR IN PLAIN SURFACE AREAS(PARKING LOTS, CITY STREETS) AND SPEED GEAR KNOB IS PLACED IN PARKING POSITION, CAR MOVES BACK AND FORTHS 2 TO 3 TIMES AND THEN STOP COMPLETELY. BOTH ISSUES WERE REPORTED TO DEALERSHIP. IN A PROGRAMMED SERVICE CAR ASKED TO DEALERSHIP DUE TO MANUFACTURER'S CAR WARRANTY ON JUNE,11TH/17 BOTH ISSUES WERE REPORTED TO DEALERSHIP TECHNICIAN PERFORMING CAR SERVICES. ACCORDING TO TECHNICIAN'S REPORT AND WORDS, COOLING FLUID TANK WAS REFILLED TO CORRECT LEVELS, COMPUTER CHECKING WAS APPLIED AND FAILURES CODES WEREN'T FOUND EITHER ON THE COOLING SYSTEM OR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SYSTEM.TECHNICIAN ALSO REPORTED THAT FARTHER OBSERVATION WOULD BE NEEDED IN CASE OF TRANSMISSION SHIFTING ISSUES,BUT IT WOULD TAKE MY CAR PARKED IN DEALERSHIP SERVICE AREAS FOR 3 HOURS BEFORE HE TRIES ANY ATTEMPT TO DISSAMBLE ANY TRANSMISSION PARTS OR ANY FARTHER TESTING. UP TO PRESENT, EITHER ISSUES HAVEN'T BEEN ADDRESSED OR FIXED BY DEALERSHIP'S TECHNICIANS AND BOTH ISSUES KEEP HAPPENING.

Power train, Aug 24, 2017
THE TRANSMISSION (CVT) DOESN'T RESPOND WHEN ACCELERATING LEAVING A STOP SIGN CAUSING A DELAY IN MOVING AND WE FEAR WILL ONE DAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AS IT WON'T GET OUT OF THE WAY OF OTHER TRAFFIC. IT ALSO DOESN'T SHIFT CORRECTLY (IT REVS TOO HIGH BEFORE IT SHIFTING) EVEN THOUGH IT IS AN AUTOMATIC. TO US IT SEEMS LIKE A HAZARD TO US AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. TOYOTA MAINTENANCE SAYS IT IS NORMAL, BUT THIS IS ONGOING SINCE WE PURCHASED THE CAR.
