2011 TOYOTA COROLLA Complaints

I DRIVE QUITE A BIT AND NORMALLY KNOW MY VEHICLES PRETTY GOOD. I HAVE RECENTLY OBTAINED THIS 2011 TOYOTA COROLLA S AND IT IS IN GREAT CONDITION OVERALL. I MADE A TRIP 2 DAYS AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE AND IMMEDIATELY NOTICED A HESITATION BETWEEN 55-65 MPH. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS APPROXIMATELY 11AM IN THE MORNING AT 78F. DRIVING ON A FLAT WELL MAINTAINED BLACK TOP ROAD THE VEHICLE DOES IN FACT HAVE A CONSTANT HESITATION THAT DROPS APPROXIMATELY 1000-2000 RPMS WITH A NOTICEABLE FEEL IN THE VEHICLE. IMMEDIATELY (3-4 SEC) AFTER THE HESITATION THE VEHICLE RECOVERS BACK TO THE ORIGINAL RPM. AS LONG AS STAYING IN THIS SPEED RANGE (55-65 MPH) THE VEHICLE HAS THE HESITATION REPEATEDLY. THE SECOND ISSUE THAT I HAVE NOTICED ON THE SAME VEHICLE IS THE ACTUAL DECELERATION WHEN REMOVING MY FOOT FROM ACCELERATOR. WHEN TRAVELING ON THE SAME ROAD AND TIME AS STATED ABOVE THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO REALLY COAST RIGHT ALONG OR SO IT SEEMS. WHEN SAYING THIS, I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM ACCELERATOR AND THE VEHICLE ROLLS RIGHT ALONG AS IF I AM STILL PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR AT WHICH TIME I MUST APPLY THE BRAKE MORE SIGNIFICANTLY THAN LETTING IT JUST COAST. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW THIS IS EFFECTING MY GAS MILEAGE, IS IT GOING TO CAUSE UNDUE STRAIN ON THE DRIVETRAIN, IS THIS GOING TO BE A PROBLEMATIC ISSUE THAT TOYOTA IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO IGNORE?

TAKATA RECALL - TOYOTA IS REFUSING TO PROVIDE ME A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE UNTIL THEY CAN FIX THE AIRBAG. THEY CLAIM THEY ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO FIX THE VEHICLE UNTIL AT LEAST 6 YEARS HAVE PASSED. BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN NOVEMBER 2011, THEY WILL NOT GIVE ME A REPLACEMENT UNTIL NOVEMBER 2017. THIS DELAY MAKES NO SENSE BECAUSE THE AIRBAG DEGRADES WITH HEAT. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SITTING IN A DEALERSHIP PARKING LOT UNDER THE HOT SUN OF TEXAS SINCE THE BEGINNING OF 2011 AND THE DEGRADATION DOES NOT START AT THE SALE DATE.

TAKATA RECALL: I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM TOYOTA IN JULY ADVISING ME OF THE AIRBAG RECALL. I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. I THEN SENT AN EMAIL TO TOYOTA CORPORATE. INCIDENT # 160908-000084. I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THEM AND DURING THE CALL, I WAS ADVISED NOT TO LET ANYONE RIDE IN THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT. THEY WERE ALSO UNABLE TO GIVE ME ANY IDEA WHEN THE REPLACEMENT MIGHT TAKE PLACE. DOCUMENTATION ON THEIR WEBSITE INDICATED A POSSIBLE 2019 SOLUTION. IT IS UNREASONABLE AND UNACCEPTABLE TO BE ADVISED NOT TO CARRY PASSENGERS IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT THAT COULD CAUSE METAL TO DISCHARGE AND MAIM OR KILL THEM. I NEED MY CAR AND I SOMETIMES TRANSPORT PASSENGERS. TOYOTA SHOULD REPLACE THE FAULTY AIRBAG WITH ONE THAT WON'T POSSIBLY KILL MY PASSENGER OR ME. WHILE THEY ARE REPLACING THE AIRBAG, THEY SHOULD ALSO PROVIDE ME A LOANER AT NO CHARGE TO ME UNTIL MY CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE.

TAKATA RECALL - WE HAVE NOT HAD A SPECIFIC INCIDENT WITH OUR CAR, BUT IT IS OUR PRIMARY VEHICLE AND WE NEED IT TO BE SAFE FOR LONG DISTANCE TRAVEL. IT HAS BEEN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME SINCE WE RECEIVED OUR NOTICE (06/09/16) AND WE WOULD LIKE TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED IMMEDIATELY FOR THE SAFETY OF OURSELVES AND OUR FAMILY.

2011 TOYOTA COROLLA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO REPLACEMENT PARTS NOT AVAILABLE TO REPAIR FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL NOTICE (16V-340). *SMD

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED THE LETTER FROM TOYOTA IN JULY, ADVISING ME OF THE RECALL. I CALLED MY DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY HAD NOT RECEIVED THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAG FROM TOYOTA SO THEY COULD DO NOTHING. IT IS UNREASONABLE AND UNACCEPTABLE TO BE ADVISED THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE PASSENGERS IN THE CAR IN CASE THE AIRBAG SPEWS OUT METAL. I NEED MY CAR AND I SOMETIMES MUST TRANSPORT PASSENGERS. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO BE TOLD TO EITHER NOT DRIVE MY CAR AND TO NOT HAVE ANY PASSENGERS. TOYOTA SHOULD REPLACE THE FAULTY AIRBAG WITH ONE THAT WORKS SAFELY. MEANWHILE, AND WHILE THEY DO REPLACE THE AIRBAG, THEY SHOULD LOAN ME A CAR AT NO CHANGE UNTIL MY CAR IS SAFE TO BE IN, AND ALSO LOAN ME A CAR FREE OF CHANGE WHILE THEY REPLACE THE AIRBAG
