DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, MY CAR ENGINE SHUT-OFF AND BREAKS LOCKED. CAR WILL NOT START ON THE MOVE SO I HAVE TO BRING IT TO A STOP. THE PROCESS OF TRANSITIONING LANES WITHOUT BREAKS WAS VERY SCARY. AFTER THE CAR WAS BROUGHT TO A FULL STOP THE CAR WAS ABLE TO START.

I purchased a Toyota three years ago, immediately I complained about the brakes scrubbing and squeaky sounds, the dealer denied anything was wrong with the brakes. After paying the last payment the other day, now the brake pedal is stiff as a board and takes alot of pressure to stop, which is a safety hazzard to all. Also there have been no warning lights come on notification of any problems. I've also noticed Electrical problems like the dash lights going off and on the clock works when it takes a notion.

THE AIRBAG REPAIR BY TOYOTA OR THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT SHORT OUT (WIRE AT THE AIRBAG MODULE) AND CAUSED AN ENGINE FIRE.

I WAS SLOWLY PULLING UP THE DRIVEWAY TO PARK BEHIND ANOTHER VEHICLE WHEN THE COROLLA SUDDENLY SURGED FORWARD. IT ACCELERATED QUICKLY AND I COULDN'T STOP IT. IT CRASHED INTO THE BACK OF THE OTHER VEHICLEWAAQ. BOTH VEHICLES SUSTAINED DAMAGE BUT THE COROLLA'S IS SIGNIFICANT.

On my way to work when the I hit the brakes... brakes locked up causing me to be unable to come to a complete stop.. Driver side airbag deployed but the passenger side airbag caused the dash to explode causing a fire in the dash. With the dash exploding and the passenger side airbag not deploying correctly it cause the passenger to hit windshield! Unknown Unknown Just a check engine light for knock sensor.

TAKATA RECALL AIR BAG DASHBOARD LIGHT ON BUT AIR BAGS HAVE NOT DEPLOYED AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON DASH TURNS ON AND OFF SYSTEM SAYS PROBLEM WITH FUEL INJECT HEAD LIGHTS WIRE KEEPS BURNING OUT.

I HAVE AN AFTERMARKET WEBASTO HOLLANDIA 700 SUNROOF THAT GOT RECALLED FOR "IN THE EVENT OF A SEPERATION, THE FALLING GLASS COULD CREATE A ROAD HAZARD OR STRIKE A TRAILING VEHICLE AND CAUSE A CRASH." THE GLASS FOR THE MOONROOF FELL APART FROM THE VEHICLE AND IS GONE UNFORTUNATELY. I WAS TRYING TO BUY THE GLASS FROM TOYOTA WITH THE HELP FROM MY AUTO BODY SHOP "KURODA AUTO BODY INC." WHEN THEY WERE BUYING THE OEM GLASS FORM TOYOTA IN CALIFORNIA. THUS THEY CANT FIX THE CAR BECAUSE THEY CANT GET THE GLASS AND OEM DOESNT FIT EXCEPT WEBASTO. IT SAYS THAT WEBASTO WILL BE PROVIDING THE RECALLS BUT THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT I LIVE IN HAWAII AND THERE ARE NO WEBASTO DEALERS IN HAWAII, CLOSEST IS IN CALIFORNIA WITH LIKE 8 LOCATIONS, THATS THE CLOSEST FOR US, PAY FOR LIVING IN PARADISE I SUPPOSE. IM OKAY WITH THE PARTS BEING SHIPPED TO ME OR TO MY AUTOBODY SHOP THAT CAN DO IT AND OF COURSE WEBASTO PAYING FOR THE LABOR FEES FOR THE RECALL. IM OPEN TO PAYING FOR SHIPPING COSTS IF THEY AGREE BECAUSE I DONT KNOW IF A RECALL PAYS FOR SHIPPING. I NEED A NEW GLASS, THATS THE ONLY THING MISSING, MECHANISM WORKS AND MOVES BUT ITS CORRODED AND I WOULDNT MIND FOR A WHOLE NEW SET IF POSSIBLE. IN THE PICTURES IT IS BETWEEN THE VIN NUMBER OF THE SUNROOF MODEL UNDER THE RECALL. I THINK IT WAS FIX BEFORE FROM ONE OF THE PICTURES SAYING IT WAS CLAIMED ALREADY FROM MY TOYOTA VIN NUMBER, BUT APPARENTLY IF IT WAS FIX THIS WOULDNT HAVE HAPPENED AGAIN SO ANOTHER RECALL FIX I THINK THIS MAY BE.

TOYOTA WAS SUPPOSED TO REPLACE THE RUSTED WHEELS BUT IT APPEARS THEY EITHER JUST REPAINTED THEM OR REPLACED THEM WITH ANOTHER DEFECTIVE WHEEL. THE WHEELS ARE RUSTING EXCESSIVELY. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ADVISING ME THAT MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WAS ON RECALL LIST BUT PART IS NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME NO MENTION WAS MADE OF THE DRIVER SIDE OR SIDE IMPACT AIRBAGS. WHEN I TELEPHONED TOYOTA, I WAS TOLD BY TOYOTA THAT NO RECALL WAS BEING ISSUED FOR DRIVER SIDE OR SIDE IMPACT AIRBAGS. THIS CAR HAS HAD SURGE ISSUES, RUSTED WHEELS, TIRES 6 AND 8 YEARS OLD AT TIME CAR WAS PURCHASED AS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE, NOW SHRAPNEL DANGER FROM AIRBAGS WITH NO RECALL. I PUT 8500 MILES ON CAR FIRST YEAR I OWNED IT. THEN SURGE OCCURRED AND NOW IT ONLY HAS 14500 MILES SINCE I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. TOYOTA WANTS ME TO GIVE IT TO DEALER TO HOLD UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED. NO GUARANTEE RE DAMAGE DUE TO CAR SITTING ON DEALERS LOT FOR MONTHS I.E. RUSTED BRAKES, ENGINE, ETC FROM SITTING UNUSED FOR MONTHS. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. TOYOTA SHOULD BE MADE TO TAKE BACK THIS VEHICLE AND REPLACE IT WITH NEW COROLLA. I BOUGHT IT NEW SINCE I WAS RETIRING AND NOW RETIRED AND CAN NOT AFFORD NEW CAR. SO I AM STUCK WITH IT AND CAN NOT DRIVE IT OR ENJOY MY RETIREMENT OR VISIT RELATIVES SINCE I CAN NOT DRIVE CAR ON HIGHWAY. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

I OBSERVED A REAR TIRE WITH A LARGE BULGE IN THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE UPON GETTING OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE TIRE IS ABOUT 1 YEAR OLD COOPER TIRE. CS4 TOURING TIRE. 195/65R-15. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER BUT WAS NOT EXAMINED FOR THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. REPAIRS WERE MADE TO THE BODY DAMAGE ONLY. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO RECUR INTERMITTENTLY AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER APPROXIMATELY THREE TIMES WHERE AN UNKNOWN SERVICE WAS PERFORMED ON THE THROTTLE. THE FAILURE DID NOT RECUR SINCE THE THROTTLE REPAIR. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRES WERE WEARING PREMATURELY. THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE TIRES EXHIBITED PREMATURE WEAR. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED AND THE FAILURE DID NOT RECUR. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THERE WAS AN UNUSUAL INCREASE IN BRAKING DISTANCE AND IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE, HE WOULD HAVE TO APPLY STEADY, REPEATED PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES BEFORE THEY WOULD ENGAGE.

TAKATA RECALL AIR BAG DASHBOARD LIGHT ON BUT AIR BAGS HAVE NOT DEPLOYED AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON DASH TURNS ON AND OFF SYSTEM SAYS PROBLEM WITH FUEL INJECT HEAD LIGHTS WIRE KEEPS BURNING OUT.

TAKATA RECALL - MY AIRBAG LIGHT WHILE DRIVING ALSO WILL COME ON WHEN I FIRST START THE CAR. IT STARTED ON SEVERAL DAYS TURNED OFF FOR A FEW DAYS AND CAME ON AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS OVER & OVER.

LEFT FRONT SEAT BELT LATCH BUCKLE FELL APART AND COULD NOT BE BUCKLED. HAD TO PAY THE DEALERSHIP $175.64 TO REPLACE IT ON 03 JUNE 2014. PAID $54.66 FOR PARTS, $115 FOR LABOR $1.43 FOR MISC CHARGES AND $4.55 FOR SALES TAX. YESTERDAY, THE BUCKLE THEY REPLACED BROKE AND CANNOT BE BUCKLED. I WILL HAVE TO HAVE IT REPLACED FOR A SECOND TIME, 4.5 YEARS AFTER REPLACING THE FIRST SEAT BELT LATCH BUCKLE. DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD THAT TOYOTA SHOULD BE PAYING FOR AND NOT THE CONSUMER, NOT TO MENTION A LIABILITY. HOW LONG SHOULD SEAT BELT LATCH BUCKLES LAST? THIS WILL BE THE THIRD ONE IN TWELVE YEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AS I WAS BUCKLING UP TO DRIVE. COULD NOT BUCKLE UP IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT DUE TO BROKEN LATCH BUCKLE. I HAVE THE RECEIPT FROM THE DEALER FOR FIRST REPAIR ON 03 JUNE 2014. I WILL HAVE A SECOND RECEIPT AFTER THIS SECOND REPLACEMENT OF THE SEAT BELT LATCH BUCKLE. IS IT SAFE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR THE REPAIR? SHOULD IT BE TOWED? I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT FOR MONDAY. DEALERSHIP SAID I COULD "DROP IT OFF" SUNDAY AND LEAVE THE KEY IN THE DROP BOX. I GUESS THEY THINK IT IS SAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE IT TO THEIR DEALERSHIP. THAT IS WHAT I DID FOR THE FIRST REPLACEMENT 4.5 YEARS AGO IN 2014. IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS ON MY WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR AND RESULTS IN INJURY OR DEATH, IS TOYOTA LIABLE FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE SEAT BELT LATCH?

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 55-70 MPH, THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE AND CENTER REAR SEAT BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLIES FAILED. BOTH REAR PASSENGERS WERE NOT PROPERLY SECURED WHEN A TIRE BLEW OUT. THE DEALER REPLACED ONE OF THE THREE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 40,000.

THE SEATBELT IN THE REAR PASSENGER DOESN'T FUNCTION PROPERLY, IT EITHER GETS STUCK IN TRYING TO FASTEN IT OR ONCE IT'S ON IT DOESN'T FLUCTUATE AND GETS STUCK IN A TIGHT POSITION WHERE IT HAS TO BE RELEASED IN ORDER NOT TO OVERLY CONSTRAINT THE PASSENGER. THE KIDS ARE THE ONES SITTING IN THIS SEAT AND USING SEAT BELT SO IT'S CONCERNING FOR THEM NOT TO BE ABLE TO ABIDE BY STATE LAWS OF WEARING SEAT BELTS AND KEEPING THEM SAFE BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO RETRACT THE SEAT BELT.

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL (INTERIM NOTICE) FROM TOYOTA IN AUGUST 2015 AND HAVE NOT HAD THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALL REPLACED YET. THIS IS NOT A TIMELY MANNER WHERE I SHOULD NOT HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE PASSENGER SEAT FOR SAFETY REASONS AND IT IS TAKING A LONG TIME FOR THIS TO BE REPLACED. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE AN ADULT PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT INSTEAD OF IN THE BACK WITH TWO CAR SEATS. I MADE A CALL TO TOYOTA ON OCTOBER 19, 2015 TO SEE WHEN THIS ISSUE WILL BE RESOLVED AND THE PERSON ON THE PHONE SAID THEY ARE STILL LOOKING INTO IT AND DO NOT HAVE A TIME FRAME. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS SOMETHING I CAN DO SO THAT I MAY TAKE ANOTHER PASSENGER COMFORTABLY IN MY VEHICLE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
