2010 TOYOTA COROLLA Complaints

TAKATA RECALL: THE DEALERS DID NOT HAVE THE REPLACEMENT PARTS READY IN A TIMELY FASHION AND IT WAS A WEEK UNTIL IT COULD BE REPLACED. THE DEALERS IN ARLINGTON, VA WERE ILL EQUIP TO FIX THE RECALL IN TIMELY FASHION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED RAPIDLY ON ITS OWN. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A WALL AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED BRUISES TO THE ARMS AND RIGHT KNEE, WHICH DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALER (ADRIEL TOYOTA, CARR 693 KM 1.0, CRUCE DE LA VIRJENCITA, DORADO, PR 00646, 1 787-626-3838) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE PADS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TAKATA RECALL WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION AS TO WHEN WE CAN GET THE REPAIRS DONE. WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. WE NEED THE CAR AND EACH DAY WE FACE THE POSSIBILITY OF THE BAG EXPLODING. WHEN IS IT GOING TO BE DONE.

TAKATA RECALL NOTIFIED IN 2016 BUT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED AS OF THIS DATE JAN 2018

"TAKATA RECALL" THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT SUBMITTED TO YOU. THE TOYOTA DEALER HAS HAD MY CAR FOR 1 YEAR-- UNACCEPTABLE- THEY HAVE NOTHING TO TELL ME REGARDING WHEN THE RECALL WILL BE FIXED. MY CAR HAS BEEN SITTING SOMEWHERE FOR A WHOLE YEAR. I'VE CONTACTED MY LENDER(CAPITAL ONE) NO SUCCESS THERE. I CANT TRADE VEHICLE IN BECAUSE IT IS NOT RELEASED TO ME. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE, THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNFAIR, UNACCEPTABLE.

WHEN I AM DRIVING MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OF OVER 50 MPH IT DOES NOT STAY STRAIGHT. IT REQUIRES ALOT OF STRENGTH TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT. IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS BEING MOVED TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT BY WINDS. FEELS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE STEERING WHEEL IS SO STIFF TO TURN SOMETIMES. I HAVE DONE THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT SEVERAL TIMES AND PUT ON NEW TIRES RECENTLY BUT THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINS. VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND I GET VERY TIRED AFTER DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS JUST MAINTAINING IN MY OWN LANE. THE DEALER'S ARE NOT MUCH HELPFUL AT ALL WITH THIS. I'VE READ ONLINE ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL WITH THE STEERING. THERE NEEDS TO BE AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS SOON BECAUSE IT'S VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.

SUMMARY: THE SUBJECT VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATORS PRODUCED BY TAKATA. ACCORDING TO TAKATA, THE PROPELLANT IN THESE INFLATORS MAY DEGRADE AFTER PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO HIGH ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY AND FLUCTUATING HIGH TEMPERATURES. DEGRADED PROPELLANT CAN CAUSE INFLATOR RUPTURE DURING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. SAFETY RISK: IN THE EVENT OF AN INFLATOR RUPTURE, METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG CUSHION MATERIAL, STRIKING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS, AND RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. REMEDY: THE REMEDY WILL CONSIST OF THE REPLACEMENT OF THE AIRBAG INFLATOR OR THE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY, DEPENDING ON THE VEHICLE MODEL.
