2010 TOYOTA COROLLA Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V340000 (AIR BAGS) HAD EXCEEDED A REASONABLE TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR AND A SECOND LETTER WILL BE RECEIVED ADVISING WHEN PARTS WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT DID NOT EXPERIENCE A FAILURE.

TAKATA RECALL. WE JUST RECEIVED THE RECALL INFO AND WERE DETERMINED TO BE IN ZONE B BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS REGISTERED IN CT. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN FLORIDA IN 2013, WHERE IT ORIGINATED. MY DAUGHTER WAS IN SCHOOL IN FLORIDA SO THE CAR WAS THERE UNTIL SHE GRADUATED IN MAY OF 2016. WE MOVED TO NORTH CAROLINA, RENTING SINCE APRIL 2016 AND NOW OWNING SINCE JUNE 2016. ALL THIS IS TO SAY THAT THE CAR, SINCE IT'S ORIGINATION HAS RESIDED 95% OF THE TIME IN FLORIDA AND VIRTUALLY NOT AT ALL IN CT. WE FEEL THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE PLACED INTO ZONE A, DUE TO IT HAVING BEEN MOSTLY IN FL AND NOW IN NC AND ESPECIALLY SINCE MY DAUGHTER AND HER FRIENDS USE THE CAR FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME.

TWO ISSUES: RADIO CONTROLS FAIL; USUALLY WHEN OUTSIDE TEMPS NEAR/ABOVE 100F. TOUCHING ANY CONTROL TURNS OFF RADIO, SPITS OUT CD. CAUSES ME TO FOCUS ON RADIO INSTEAD OF DRIVING. DEALER NO HELP. SEEN THE PROBLEM LISTED BY OTHERS ONLINE INC. YOUTUBE VIDEO OF THE RADIO ACTING UP. 2ND ISSUE: JUST HAD TO REPLACE WATER PUMP, APPROX. 150,000 MILES. APPEARS THERE WAS SOME SORT OF RECALL BUT I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY NOTICE. REPLACED 7/16/16

AT APPROX 11:30 PM ON JULY 15TH 2016, MY FIANC, MYSELF AND 2 OF OUR FRIENDS WERE HEADING HOME FROM DOWNTOWN MIAMI ON I-95. IT WAS RAINING EXTREMELY HARD, SO EVERYONE WAS GOING WELL BELOW THE SPEED LIMIT. I WOULD APPROX WE WERE GOING 35-40 MPH. THE CAR IN FRONT OF US SLAMMED ON HIS BREAKS DUE TO THE RAIN COMING DOWN EXTREMELY HARD, AND I PROCEEDED TO DO THE SAME. HOWEVER INSTEAD OF MY CAR BREAKING, IT BEGAN ACCELERATING 10-15MPH. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO CARS TO MY RIGHT AND I WAS ABLE TO VEER OUT OF THE WAY OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF US, OR ELSE WE WOULD OF BEEN IN A HORRIBLE CAR ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLY DEAD. AS EXPECTED, MY FIANC IS EXTREMELY SHOOKEN UP BY WHAT HAPPENED. I KNOW THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 2010 COROLLA AND I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN FOR ALL THE RECALLS AND INSPECTIONS BUT OBVIOUSLY THERE IS SOMETHING STILL WRONG WITH THE 2010 COROLLAS BECAUSE I ALMOST DIED TONIGHT DIE TO UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION

WHEN VEHICLE IS ON REVERSE WHILE PARKING AND TURNING THE WHEEL ALL TO THE RIGHT,THE WHEEL TENDS TO LOCK AND RESISTANT OCCURS.IT CAN HAPPEND WHILE IN MOTION OR STATIONARY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS UNABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS PRODUCED BY TAKATA. WE WERE NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. A FEW DAYS AGO I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA TELLING ME THAT TOYOTA IS PREPARING A REMEDY FOR THESE AIRBAGS AND WHAT I NEEDED TO DO WAS NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I CALLED TOYOTA UP AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE A REMEDY YET, AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THEY WILL HAVE A REMEDY. THEIR SOLUTION TO THIS AIRBAG PROBLEM IS TO PUT ALL PASSENGERS IN THE BACK SEAT. WE HAVE A FAMILY OF FIVE SO I CAN NOT DO THAT. THEIR SOLUTION OF NOT HAVING PEOPLE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO ME AND SHOULD NOT BE TO ANYONE. I HAVE A FAMILY CAR AND WOULD LIKE TO USE IT WITH MY FAMILY. I CAN NOT DO THAT. THANK YOU. *TR
