2011 TOYOTA COROLLA Complaints

CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THAT WE BOUGHT THE CAR FROM (PRIME FORD SACO MAINE) AND THEY TOLD ME THE RECALL WAS TAKEN CARE OF AND WE WERE ALL SET. COME TO FIND OUT, IT WASNT COMPLETED AND MY SON HAS BEEN DRIVING AROUND IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE.

MY 2011 COROLLA DRIVER SIDE HEAD LIGHT AND REAR BRAKE LIGHT WILL NOT WORK CORRWCRLY AND HAVE BEEN CHANGED NUMEROUS TIMES. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL TICKETS. ALSO, MY OIL IS DISAPPEARING. THE TECH SAID THAT IT IS THE PISTONS AND THEY NEED TI BE REPLACED. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2011 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE INTERSECTED THE CONTACT'S LANE WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN. AS A RESULT, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE OTHER VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED NECK, SPINE, CHEST, AND HEAD INJURIES. THE PASSENGER SUSTAINED A BRUISE ON THE LEFT KNEE, A MARK ON HER STOMACH FROM THE SEAT BELT, CHEST AND ABDOMINAL PAINS, SCRAPES ON THE RIGHT ARM, PAIN TO THE RIGHT HAND, AND SHE STRUCK HER LIP WITH HER KNEE, WHICH CUT IT OPEN.

WHENEVER I AM DRIVING BETWEEN 15-25 MPH, THE VEHICLE FEELS LIKE IT'S DRAGGING WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON.THE RPM WOULD RANDOMLY SURGE THEN DROP AS THE VEHICLE GOES OVER 25 OR UNDER 15MPH. WHICH FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION PROGRAMMING TO SWITCH BETWEEN GEARS IS HAVING TROUBLE TO DO SO AT THE CORRECT RPM FOR A SMOOTH GEAR CHANGE!

TRANSMISSION: MY 2011 TOYOTA MATRIX JERKS AND ACCELERATES SUDDENLY WITH A REVVING NOISE AND MAKING CHOKING SOUNDS LIKE GEARS SHIFTING IN A MANUAL TRANSMISSION CAR. THIS HAPPENS EACH TIME I SLOW DOWN TO MAKE A TURN (LEFT OR RIGHT) OR MERGE INTO THE FREEWAY, WHEN I SLOW DOWN AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND TRIES TO TAKE OFF AS THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN, AND WHEN I SLOW DOWN AND TRY CHANGING LANE TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD TO PRESS HARD ON THE BREAKS TO AVOID HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I STARTED DRIVING THE CAR AFTER TAKING OVER FROM MY DAUGHTER ONE AND A HALF YEARS AGO. THANKS YOU.

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON A CITY STREET WHEN A VEHICLE CHANGED LANES WITHOUT WARNING INTO MY LANE. MY FIRST REACTION WAS TO HONK AS I SWERVED TO AVOID BEING HIT. THE HORN DID NOT WORK, THANK GOD MY THERE WAS ENOUGH ROOM FOR ME TO MOVE TO AVOID BEING HIT. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN FOR THE AIR BAG RECALL TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE FIXED. I'M WONDERING IF SOMETHING COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO THE SPIRAL CABLE THEN OR IF IT IS JUST A FAULTY EQUIPMENT. WENT I GOT HOME I KEPT TRYING TO MAKE MY CAR HONK AND I NOTICED WHEN I TURN MY STEERING WHEEL A CERTAIN WAY IT HONKED. I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE AND ASKED ABOUT THE HORN AND WAS TOLD THERE WOULD BE A $200 FEE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND THAT MONEY WOULD GO TOWARDS THE COST OF GETTING IT FIXED. I ASKED WHAT THE MAXIMUM COST WOULD BE HE SAID $400. SO THEY DIAGNOSED MY VEHICLE AND SAID THE PART IS $600 AND I HAD 2 WEEKS TO DECIDE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY ANYMORE MONEY TO HAVE THIS FIXED. I HAVE TALKED TO MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I BELIEVE TOYOTA SHOULD CORRECT THIS SAFETY ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED! A HORN CAN MAKE A LIFE OR DEATH DIFFERENCE.

WHEN DRIVING ON INTERSTATE ABOVE 55MPH, STEERING SEEMS TO GET DRIFTY. FEELS UNSAFE. VERY SCARY. WE HAVE HAD NEW TIRES INSTALLED AND ALIGNMENT CHECKED. NO SEMIS AROUND US OR HIGH WINDS. TALKED TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN MUSCATINE IA. THEY SAID THERE WERE NO KNOW ISSUES. WE WERE WILLING TO PAY FOR 1 HOUR OF TROUBLE SHOOTING IF THERE WAS A FIX. DEALERSHIP STATES THERE IS NO KNOW PROBLEM. WE HAVE NOTICED PROBLEM FOR MORE THEN 5 MONTHS, IT IS BECOMING MORE PRONOUNCED AND UNSAFE. THIS MY WIFE'S PRIMARY CAR.
