TOYOTA 20" ALLOY WHEEL Complaints

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) MY 2010 COROLLA HAS HAD THE GAS PEDAL RECALL COMPLETED AND NOW WHEN CAR IS IN PARK I CAN WATCH THE RPM'S OF THE MOTOR FLUCTUATE FROM 1000 RPM TO 1400 RPMS WITH OUT TOUCHING THE GAS. ALSO IT NOW IDLES AT 1000 RPM COMPARED TO ABOUT 800 BEFORE . I HAVE NOT CONTACTED THE DEALER YET BUT I JUST WANTED THIS INFORMATION REPORTED TO YOU. I FEEL THAT TOYOTA HAS NOT SOLVED THIS PROBLEM DO YOU. [XXX] *TR

I WAS STOPPED AT A SIGNAL LIGHT. THE TOYOTA CAMRY I WAS DRIVING OFF OF HOLT AVE. POMONA. CA. I ACCELERATED BY TAPPING THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR ABRUPTLY STARTED ACCELERATING AGGRESSIVELY ON ITS OWN AND LEAD ME DIRECTLY HEAD ON INTO A TREE. IT WAS ALMOST LIKE THE CAR WAS "TAKEN OVER" BY SOMETHING. I SUFFERED SOME MINOR INJURIES OF THE BACK, HEAD, AND SHOULDER. I ALMOST DIED. THE AIRBAG CAME OUT SO I SURVIVED. I WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL FOR CHECK UP AND RELEASED THE SAME DAY. I WAS HOLDING A NEVADA LICENSE. I CALLED THE POMONA POLICE TODAY FOR A ACCIDENT REPORT NUMBER HOWEVER THE POLICE DEPARTMENT DENIED THERE WAS REPORT TAKEN. THE CAR WAS TOTALED. THE CAR WAS INSURED IN CALIFORNIA. THIS ACCIDENT OCCURRED AFTER A OTHER CAR IN OUR FAMILY OF 2, MYSTERIOUSLY ROLLED OVER ON ROAD OF THE 15 INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WERE MY MOTHER ALMOST DIED. THE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT IS ALSO STILL UNKNOWN.THE ACCELERATION SPEED IS UNKNOWN I HAVE GUESSED THE SPEED IN THE FURTHER DOCUMENTATION..I AM NOT SURE OF THE EQUIPMENT TYPE IN THE CAR. *TR

MY BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED 4 TIMES IN THE LAST 2.5 YEARS. I WAS TERRIFIED WHEN MY BRAKES WOULD NOT MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. SINCE I AM A DISABLED DRIVER WHO CANNOT TRANSFER IN AND OUT OF MY WHEELCHAIR ON MY OWN MADE IT EXTREMELY WORSE! THE FIRST TIME THE VAN HAD 5000 MI ON IT. THE SECOND TIME WITH WITHIN 25 MI AND A DAY AFTER I PICKED IT UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP! THE DEALERSHIP COVER IT UNDER MY WARRANTY FOR THE FIRST 2 TIMES IN MAY OF '08. NOW THAT IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY BECAUSE MY VAN WAS MODIFIED, BUT IT HA 24,000 MI AND 2.5 YEAR OLD. THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER WAS NOT TAMPERED WITH DURING THE CONVERSION PROCESS AND IS A TOYOTA PART. THERE WAS AN INVESTIGATION DONE TO FIND OUT WHO WAS AT FAULT. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT TOYOTA'S PART WAS DEFECTIVE BUT THE DEALERSHIP STILL REFUSE TO WARRANTY IT! THE DEALERSHIPS ARE UNWILLING TO EVEN HELP US FIND A SOLUTION. NOW I'M FORCED PAY 1000.00+ TO FIX IT WHEN IT SHOULD BE COVER UNDER WARRANTY. I AM FORCED TO FIX IT BECAUSE IT'S MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION! MY FAMILY AND I ARE EXTREMELY UPSET WITH THE SERVICE AND DIFFICULTIES WE ARE RECEIVING. I WOULD THINK THAT IF THE PROBLEM IS NOT TOYOTA'S FAULT, THEN SHOULD GO THE EXTRA MILE TO HELP RESOLVE IT INSTEAD OF LEAVING THEIR CUSTOMERS OUT IN THE COLD! TERRIBLE WAY TO DO BUSINESS! *TR

EVERY SO OFTEN MY 2005 TOYOTA 4-RUNNER WILL LURCH FORWARD AT A STOP. ITS LIKE THE VEHICLE IS BEING REARENDED. THIS OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING AND AT RANDOM TIMES DURING A TYPICAL DAY. THE TRANSMISSION WILL ALSO LOCK IN 4TH GEAR IF WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THE VEHICLE SLOW SUDDENLY - THIS IS CORRECTED BY PULLING OFF THE INTERSTATE, SHUTTING DOWN THE VEHICLE AND WAITING A FEW MOMENTS. *TR

VERY OFTEN, MY 2009 COROLLA WILL HAVE A VERY LOW IDLE, THE CAR ACTS AS IT IS GOING TO STALL. IT SHUDDERS, THE TACH DROPS LOW, BUT THEN WILL COME BACK UP. IT HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES PER WEEK WHEN I AM EITHER BACKING UP OR GOING FROM A STOP INTO FIRST GEAR. I HAVE DRIVEN ONLY MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS FOR OVER 26 YEARS, AND THIS IS THE FIRST VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH. I FEAR I WILL BE HIT FROM BEHIND, OR T-BONED WHEN THE CAR ACTS AS IF IT WANTS TO STALL. IT NEVER HAS STALLED, BUT IT FRIGHTENS US. AS I MENTIONED, THE CAR SHUDDERS, SHAKES WHEN THIS HAPPENS TO US. WE FEEL IT MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH A LOW IDLE PROBLEM, EITHER WITH THE ELECTRONICS OR SOFTWARE. WE HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER A FEW TIMES, BUT IT'S THE FAMOUS "CAN NOT DUPLICATE" ANSWER. WE ONLY DRIVE THIS VEHICLE USUALLY FROM APRIL TO LATE OCTOBER. WE LIVE IN THE SNOWBELT OF OHIO AND DRIVE OUR 4X4 JEEP NOV. THROUGH MARCH. I ALSO DRIVE A 2001 MANUAL TRANSMISSION HONDA CIVIC, WITH NEVER THESES ISSUES. I CAN'T GIVE INCIDENT DATES, THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY DURING EACH WEEK, EVER SINCE I TOOK DELIVERY OF THIS CAR IN MARCH, 2008. AGAIN, THIS IS A 2009 COROLLA S. *TR

THIS IS AN UPDATE TO THE COMPLAINT I FILED ON 2008/10/14, ODI 10253642 ABOUT PRIUS HID HEADLIGHT FAILURE. SINCE THAT INCIDENT I HAVE HAD THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE BULBS REPLACED FOUR TIMES AND SWAPPED LEFT-FOR-RIGHT FOR DIAGNOSIS TWICE. EVEN WITH THOSE NEW BULBS, WHICH MY DUBLIN, CA, TOYOTA DEALER SWEARS ARE THE NEWER, "GOOD" BULBS, THE HEADLIGHTS ALWAYS HAVE FAILED AGAIN WITHIN ONE TO FOUR WEEKS. ACTUALLY, THOSE ARE THE INTERVALS AT WHICH I HAVE *NOTICED* THE FAILURES, BUT I'M SURE THE BULBS FAILED SOONER THAN THAT, BECAUSE SOMETIMES IT'S HARD TO TELL WHILE DRIVING, AND THE LIGHTS ALWAYS RELIGHT WHEN SWITCHED OFF AND ON. THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN EVEN MORE REPLACEMENTS AND FAILURES, BUT I HAVE DELAYED TAKING THE CAR IN FOR REPAIR UNTIL I COULD DRIVE INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHILE THE LIGHT WAS OUT, AS PROOF THAT IT HAS FAILED. IT'S OBVIOUS TO ME AND EVERY OTHER PRIUS OWNER THAT THE BULBS ARE EITHER NOT THE PROBLEM OR AT LEAST NOT THE ONLY PROBLEM--THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE UNDOUBTEDLY ALSO OR INSTEAD IS FAULTY. TOYOTA CORPORATE CONTINUES TO REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE SEVERITY, PERSISTENCE, AND BREADTH OF THE PROBLEM. YESTERDAY THE DEALER REPEATED THE LEFT-FOR-RIGHT SWAP BECAUSE "TOYOTA CORPORATE DEMANDS THAT DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE." BUT THE DEALER ADMITTED THAT NO MORE INFORMATION WILL BE GAINED THAN WAS GAINED THE LAST TIME THEY SWAPPED LEFT FOR RIGHT, WHEN THE LIGHT WORKED THERE AT THE DEALER, BUT FAILED ON ME SUBSEQUENTLY (THE SAME-SIDE HEADLIGHT WITH THE SWAPPED BULB). THEY ARE SIMPLY AVOIDING THE EXPENSE AND LIABILITY OF REPLACING THE CONTROL COMPUTER. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 TOYOTA CAMERY. I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES EVERY SINCE I GOT THE CAR. THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES DON'T WORK THE WAY THAT THEY SHOULD. WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE BRAKE HARD LIKE YOU WOULD IN AN EMERGENCY THE CAR WILL NOT STOP AT ALL ITS AS IF THE BRAKES GO COMPLETELY OUT. BUT IF YOU PRESS THEM SLOWLY THEY WORK FINE. BUT IF YOU GIVE A QUICK PRESS THEY DON'T WORK. THIS HAS RESULTED IN ME ALMOST HAVING SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. I DID HAVE AN ACCIDENT IN NOVEMBER 2006. WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKES THEY COMPLETELY GAVE OUT AND I HIT SOMEONE FROM BEHIND. *TR

I BOUGHT A TOYOTA PRIUS V 2010. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO TOYOTA ABOUT THE BRAKING SYSTEM. I AM ALSO FILLING A FORMAL COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA. ALSO THE BACK AUTO DIMMING MIRROR DOESNT WORK PROPERLY. THEY CANT FIND A FIX. LANE KEEP ASSIST WORKS REALLY POORLY. I WOULD SAY I DOESNT WORK! ALSO BLUETOOTH SYSTEMS DOESNT WORK PROPERLY. THERE IS A DELAY IN ANSWERING THE CALL. *TR
