Complaints on fileComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

THE TOYOTA COROLLA I BOUGHT AT SPINELLI TOYOTA IN LACHINE, QUEBEC, ABOUT 30 YEARS AGO ALSO HAD SUDDEN ACCELERATION SPEED CONTROL PROBLEMS. I COMPLAINED ABOUT IT SEVERAL TIMES BUT WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG. I BRING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION BECAUSE I CANNOT HAVE BEEN THE ONLY ONE WHO EXPERIENCED THIS, AND I BELIEVE THAT AN INVESTIGATION WILL PROVE THAT THE PROBLEM GOES BACK MANY DECADES AND THE COMPANY KNEW ABOUT IT. I WANT NOTHING, BUT THINK SOMEONE SHOULD BE LOOKING INTO THIS. DATE GIVEN BELOW IS APPROXIMATE. *TR
