2010 TOYOTA COROLLA Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V340000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL. GAS PEDAL BECOMES STUCK WITH FLOOR MAT WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION. WE HAVE HAD TO REMOVE FLOOR MAT FOR SAFETY. REMOVAL OF FLOOR MAT HAS CAUSED WEAR AND TEAR ON FLOOR BOARD COVERING.

NOTHING YET BUT THESE RECALLS, ONE FOR THE ELECTRIC WINDOW MASTER SWITCH, WELL OVER A YEAR OLD, AND THE OTHER FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, WHERE I'M CAUTIONED TO NOT HAVE PASSENGERS IN THAT FRONT SEAT, WHICH IS REALLY INCONVENIENT AND MEANS I DON'T HAVE FULL USE OF MY OWN AUTOMOBILE, HAS BEEN OUT LONG ENOUGH THAT A FIX IS LONG OVERDUE. WHY THE DELAY AND WHY DOES THE GOVERNMENT DO NOTHING FOR CONSUMERS WHO PAID FOR THESE CARS BUT WITH SOME NOT INSIGNIFICANT DEFECTS. I WOULD LIKE MY CAR FIXED, BOTH THE MASTER SWITCH FOR THE WINDOWS AND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG THAT COULD FAIL TO DEPLOY.

TAKATA RECALL, I WAS TRAVELING DOWN A SIDE ROAD AND A CAR WAS PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND I WAS STRUCK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY VEHICLE, THE AIRBAGS ON BOTH DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE DID NOT DEPLOY. CAR WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY.

THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE TAKATA AIRBAGS THAT IS IN MY TOYOTA. THAT WAS ON 05/23/2016. IT IS NOT 11/23/2016, 6 MONTHS AFTER THE RECALL AND THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY TO THE ISSUE. I AM WAITING FOR TOYOTA TO PROVIDE A REMEDY AND IT IS TAKING AN UNUSUALLY LONG TIME FOR THEM TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION. THEY ARE RECOMMENDING THAT WE NOT HAVE ANY PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT OF THE CAR AND THAT IS AN EXTREME INCONVENIENCE. THEY ARE BASICALLY TAKING 1 PASSENGER SEAT AWAY FROM US. THIS MIGHT BE ACCEPTABLE FOR A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME BUT THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND OUTRAGEOUS FOR THEM TO MAKE TOYOTA OWNERS BASICALLY WAIT MONTHS FOR A REMEDY. HOW LONG ARE THEY GOING O MAKE US WAIT, 6 MONTHS, 1 YEAR, 2 YEARS. I AM EXTREMELY UNHAPPY WITH THE SITUATION.

STATIONARY/PARKED DRIVER'S SEAT - AN INTERNAL STRUCTURE OF THE SEAT HAS BROKEN, ALLOWING A SHARP, RIGID STEEL PIECE TO PROTRUDE FROM THE BACK OF THE SEAT INTO THE PASSENGER AREA. THIS PIECE OF STEEL HAS CUT TWO OF OUR CHILDREN ON THE LEGS AS THEY WERE EXITING THE VEHICLE. (ONE INJURY OCCURRED IN JUNE 2016, TOYOTA NOTIFIED OF PROBLEM IN JULY 2016. SECOND INJURY OCCURRED ON 11/11/2016. TOYOTA AGAIN NOTIFIED.)

TAKATA RECALL FOR ALMOST EIGHT MONTHS MY CAR HORN HAS NOT BEEN WORKING. I CANNOT INSPECT IT WITHOUT THE CAR HORN WORKING! NO ONE WILL TOUCH IT! IT'S LIKE MY CAR HAS A DISEASE AND NO ONE WANTS TO BE CORRUPTED OR SOMETHING. I SAW ON A TV PROGRAM CALLED FRAUD SQUAD ABOUT HOW WHEN A AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED SOME COMPONENTS IN AND AROUND THE AIRBAG ARE AFFECTED TO THE POINT OF FAILURE. I'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR TWO YEARS AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING, THE INSPECTION/REGISTRATION STICKER CANNOT BE HAD! I FEEL VERY MUCH LET DOWN BY THE DEALERSHIP I ACQUIRED THIS CAR FROM. I GOT IT FROM FORT BEND TOYOTA IN ROSENBERG. IT'S GONNA TAKE ME MANY YEARS TO PAY THIS CAR PAID OFF AND ALREADY I MAY HAVE TO JURY RIG IT AND VOID EVERY WARRANTY EVER. MY WARRANTY WENT OUT, THEY ASKED ME TO RE-UP IT, I DIDN'T, AND BOOM, I'M SCREWED! WHERE CAN I GO TO GET HELP WITH THIS? I AM LUCKY I HAVE NOT BEEN TICKETED YET. UPDATED 01/25/2017*CT

ON 11/15/2016, I PURCHASED 4 NEW PRIMEWELL VALERA TOURING TIRES, SIZE 205/55R16 FOR MY DAUGHTERS 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S. I PURCHASED THE TIRES FROM FIRESTONE COMPLETE AUTO CARE, 10925 FM 1960 RD W HOUSTON, TX 77070 SHE IMMEDIATELY BEGIN DRIVING FROM HOUSTON TO RETURN TO COLLEGE STATION, TX WHERE SHE RESIDES. SHE HAD ONLY TRAVELED APPROXIMATELY 50 MILES ON THE NEW TIRES WHEN SHE EXPERIENCED A REAR RIGHT BLOW OUT WHICH SENT HER CRASHING INTO THE HIGHWAY CONCRETE BARRIER. SHE IS A BIT SHAKEN UP WITH STIFFNESS AND PAIN AND HER CAR IS DAMAGED IN SEVERAL AREAS. I AM ASKING MY INSURANCE TO INVESTIGATE THE FULL DETAILS OF THE CRASH. I AM ALSO SPEAKING WITH FIRESTONE AND HOPE TO REACH THE MANUFACTURER OF THE TIRES AS WELL. A DPS OFFICER WAS ONSITE TO MAKE A REPORT OF THE ACCIDENT AND THE PARTICULARS. WHAT ASSISTANCE IN INFO CAN YOU PROVIDE ME AT THIS TIME ON ANY OTHER FAILURES OR INFO CONCERNING THESE TIRES OR THE MANUFACTURER? PLEASE ADVISE AND THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP.

I AM TOLD BY TOYOTA NOT TO HAVE A FRONT PASSENGER UNTIL A REMEDY IS IN PLACE FOR MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THAT HAS BEEN THE STORY SINCE MAY 2016 AND IT'S NOW NOVEMBER 2016. WHAT CAN TOYOTA DO TO COMPENSATE FOR THE EXTREME INCONVENIENCE TO ME AND MY FAMILY? I GET STRESSED ON THE ROAD, KNOWING THAT I'M PUTTING MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS IN DANGER. HOW LONG WILL IT BE BEFORE WE GET THIS SITUATION RESOLVED? WHAT ABOUT PAYMENT FOR OUR STRESS AND INCONVENIENCE? CAN I GET A REPLACEMENT CAR UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED?
