2010 TOYOTA COROLLA MATRIX Complaints

The paint on the car's hood is chipping and the paint on the car's hood, roof, and back hatch is fading to white and becoming rough to the touch, as if a coating is coming off.

IN A STATIONARY POSITION, AS SOON AS I TURN MY CAR OVER MY ENGINE WILL BE AT A HIGHER RPM THAN WHAT IT SHOULD AND IT WONT RUN AS GOOD AS IT SHOULD. ITS HARDER ON SHIFTING INTO THE NEXT GEAR.

TAKATA RECALL. NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET, BUT I WAS NOT NOTIFIED ABOUT THE RECALL AT ALL. I HAPPENED TO FIND OUT ABOUT IT ONLINE AND MY CAR IS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA MATRIX. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V340000 (AIR BAGS). 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 SPOKE TO TOYOTA OF BERKELEY (2400 SHATTUCK AVE, BERKELEY, CA 94704) AND DOWNTOWN TOYOTA OF OAKLAND (4145 BROADWAY, OAKLAND, CA 94611) WHO STATED THAT PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL - IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR TOYOTA TO PROVIDE PARTS FOR THIS RECALL - AT LEAST VENTURA TOYOTA REPORTS THEY ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. WE NEED TO GET THIS REPAIRED. NOTE - RECALL NUMBER 16V340

TAKATA RECALL. NHTSA RECALL NO. 16V-340. CAN YOU HELP SPEED UP WHEN THE REMEDY WILL BE AVAILABLE? ON MAY 23, 2016 TOYOTA ISSUED A RECALL NOTICE FOR OUR VEHICLE. THEY RECOMMEND WE DO NOT USE THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE RECALL WORK IS COMPLETE. BUT THEY STILL HAVE NOT MADE A REMEDY AVAILABLE!! IT IS JANUARY 2, 2017! I BELIEVE THEY HAVE ALREADY EXCEEDED A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO MAKE A REMEDY AVAILABLE. THE RECALL NOTICE RECOMMENDED SUBMITTING A COMPLAINT ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE IF TOYOTA IS NOT COMPLETING THE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME. CAN YOU HELP SPEED UP WHEN THE REMEDY WILL BE AVAILABLE? THANKS VERY MUCH.

MY COMPLAINT IS THAT TOYOTA GIVES ME DIFFERENT ANSWERS EACH TIME I HAVE CALLED REGARDING PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL. RECALL #16V-340. EVEN IF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG EXPLODES IT CAN SHOOT METAL PARTS ACROSS AT DRIVER OR IN BACK AT PASSENGERS. I LIVE IN ZONE A AND ALSO DRIVE TO ARIZONA WHICH IS A LOT HOTTER THAN CA THE LAST CALL I MADE TO TOYOTA I WAS TOLD THEY HADN'T DECIDED THE BEST AVENUE TO GO!!! THAT TELLS ME THAT THEY HAVE NOT STARTED ON THE PROBLEM!!! MAYBE IF THINGS WERE MADE IN THE USA WE WOULDN'T HAVE ALL THESE RECALLS!!! THANK YOU.

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.

BRAKES ARE SCRUBBING HARSHLY WHEN WEATHER IS DAMP. HAD IT INSPECTED AT LEITH TOYOTA IN RALEIGH,NC AND WAS TOLD THAT WAS NORMAL FOR THIS CAR. TWO MONTHS AGO IN WET COLD HIGH ALTITUDE THERE WAS EXTREME SCRUBBING OF FRONT WHEEL BRAKES, AGAIN WAS INSPECTED AND TOLD THAT BRAKES WERE GOOD AND WOULD PROBABLY NEED NEW PADS AT NEXT INSPECTION. THIS SCRUBBING STARTED ABOUT 6-8 MONTHS AFTER WE PURCHASED IT NEW. *TR
