GENTLE PERSONS I WOULD LIKE DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO A SAFETY ISSUE ASSOCIATED WITH MY VEHICLE (TOYOTA COROLLA 2007, VIN: [XXX]) LISTED ON NHTSA WEB SITE. HTTP://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/RECALLS/RECALLRESULTS.CFM?START=1&SEARCHTYPE=DRILLDOWN&TYPE=VEHICLE&YEAR=2006&MAKE=TOYOTA&MODEL=COROLLA&COMPONENT_ID=0&TYPENUM=1&SUBMIT=RETRIEVE+RECALLS&PRINTVERSION=YES I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING SIMILAR SUDDEN STOP PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V384000 NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: 2 INVESTIGATIONS FOUND COMPONENT: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING SUMMARY: TOYOTA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005-2008 COROLLA AND COROLLA MATRIX VEHICLES. THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) FOR THE SUBJECT MODELS EQUIPPED WITH THE 1ZZ-FE ENGINE AND TWO-WHEEL DRIVE MAY HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY MANUFACTURED. THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT A CRACK MAY DEVELOP AT CERTAIN SOLDER POINTS OR ON VARISTORS ON THE CIRCUIT BOARD. CONSEQUENCE: THERE ARE A VARIETY OF WARNINGS AND CONSEQUENCES ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEFECT. THE ENGINE WARNING LAMP COULD BE ILLUMINATED, HARSH SHIFTING COULD RESULT, THE ENGINE MAY NOT START, OR THE ENGINE COULD SHUT OFF WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN. AN ENGINE SHUTOFF WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN INCREASES THE RISK OF A CRASH. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING SUDDEN STOPS OF MY VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING THAT IS LIKELY RELATED TO THE ECM. A CASE HAS BEEN REGISTERED WITH TOYOTA NATIONAL HEAD QUARTER SUGGESTING TO CALL TOYOTA AT 800-331-4331. I CALLED AND SPOKE WITH [XXX] (APRIL 15, 2016 AT 11:05 CST). SHE REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY HELP ALTHOUGH I PROVIDED HER THE CASE NUMBER. SHE HANDLED THE CASE VERY RUDELY AND UNPROFESSIONAL, KEPT ME ON HOLD FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AND THEN GAVE ME THE SAME CASE NUMBER WITH NO FURTHER ACTION AND ENDED THE CALL. I AM ALSO NOTIFYING NHTSA ABOUT THE THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I BOUGHT THE CAR IN OCTOBER WITH A RECALL NOTICE THAT THEY WOULD NOT WORK ON. THE ONLY SOLUTION FROM OCT TILL APRIL WAS TO "NOT OPERATE WITH PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT" I AM REALLY DISAPPOINTED WITH TOYOTA FOR TAKING SO LONG TO FIX THE PROBLEM KNOWING THAT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO RIDE IN THE FRONT SEAT AND THAT THEY MAY BE AT RISK!!!!!! I JUST GOT IT FIXED BY ASKING THE DEALER IF THE RECALL COULD BE DONE YET. THE NOTICE CAME IN THE MAIL THE NEXT WEEK. I HAVE HAD OTHER RECALLS ON OTHER VEHICLES NEVER ANYTHING THIS IMPORTANT AND THERE WAS NEVER A DELAY ONCE NOTIFIED.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT MAY TAKE UP TO 10 WEEKS BEFORE THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO REPAIR MY AIRBAG. IN THE MEANTIME I AM DRIVING A VEHICLE WHICH MAY KILL MY PASSENGER IF THE AIRBAG IS USED. TOYOTA WILL NOT PAY FOR A RENTAL TO PREVENT A INJURY OR DEATH DURING THE TEN WEEKS BEFORE THIS VEHICLE IS REPAIRED AND THEY ARE TELLING ME TO HAVE PEOPLE SIT IN THE BACK SEAT. THEY ARE PLAYING WITH PEOPLES LIVES WHILE WAITING FOR THIS TO BE REPAIRED.
