2010 Toyota Corolla Problems

While driving at highway speeds, the vehicle suffered a sudden, simultaneous failure of multiple electrical and safety systems. Without warning, the Check Engine light, VSC (Vehicle Stability Control) light, Traction Control light, and SRS Airbag light all illuminated simultaneously on the dashboard. Immediately upon illumination of these fault lights, the vehicle lost computer-assisted stability control, began swerving violently, spun out of control, and collided with another vehicle, suffering severe front and rear impact damage. The vehicle was declared a total loss. Despite severe impact forces to both the front and rear structure, the SRS airbags completely failed to deploy. Both occupants sustained injuries due to the impact and lack of airbag protection. The simultaneous illumination of the airbag and VSC lights prior to impact strongly points to a sudden failure of the steering column spiral cable (clock spring) assembly—a known safety defect under NHTSA Recall Campaign 14V-168 (Recall E0M). The illumination of the airbag fault light appears to have deactivated the SRS system prior to impact, leaving occupants unprotected during a major collision. The vehicle is currently held at IAA San Diego and contains unread Event Data Recorder (EDR) crash data proving the pre-impact system shutdown. I request that NHTSA review this safety system failure and airbag non-deployment. CHP Crash Report #[9645-2026-02967] and Insurance Total Loss Evaluation are available upon request.

On XXX we have went to we buy any car.com in the car was inspected as a structural damage and it was found that there was no airbags at all so five years ago we have bought the car from John’s. great cars we didn’t know about this. They didn’t tell us that there was no bags. Technically they’re not supposed to sell a car without airbags cause that’s a safety issue now My Daughter had an accident with this car and the airbags never deployed so that’s what happened. The car never had airbags so at this point this is a safety issue and it’s urgent.

WHEN NEEDING TO ACCELERATE THE CAR TAKES OFF LIKE A JET ROCKET WHEN THE PEDAL IS PRESSED. THE CAR SEEMS TO BE OUT OF CONTROL AND SHAKING VIOLENTLY. THIS HAPPENS USUALLY ON HIGHWAY WHEN GOING ABOVE 50. FEELS VERY UNSAFE. THIS IS A USED CAR I BOUGHT. THIS HAPPENS ON A REGULAR BASIS.

PAINT ON ROOF AND HOOD FADING AND FLAKING. RED ROOF NOW LOOKS WHITE. *TR

WE BELIEVE SOMETHING PUNCTURED THE FRONT LEFT WHEEL OF THE CAR WHEN DRIVEN DOWN A STREET AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WHEN RELEASED DID NOT STOP THE CAR. THE CAR SKID INTO PARKED CARS AND AIR BAG WAS NOT DEFLATED EVEN THOUGH IT WAS SERVICED UNDER THE AIRBAG RECALL. PASSENGER SIDEVIEW MIRROR, RIGHT BODY OF CAR IS DAMAGED, SIDE AND PORTION OF FRONT AND BACK BUMPERS BECAME DAMAGED. NO OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES MADE. THE DAMAGED CAR SITS IN OUR DRIVEWAY SOON TO BE TOWED AND SOLD FOR PARTS.

I simply was driving on the freeway in the slow lane about to get off my exit and my passenger window exploded, glass went everywhere.

The windshield wipers stop mid cycle. At anytime while driving. If I wiggle them they will resume function. In heavy rain losing wipers and visibility is a huge safety issue. Sometimes they won’t even work when I turn them on and then they will all of a sudden turn on.

My check ingine light came on. I had noticed the slippery when wet light came on and the vcs light also came on. Since the Catalytic Converter seemed to be the problem. The gentleman at AutoZone diagnosed the car and told me about Catalytic clean. I used that and the lights went off. I believe I was sold a crappy car. The dealership did nothing to replace or look at it. I had not even put 2000 miles on the car since purchased.

TAKATA RECALL HELLO, MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR 9 MONTHS. THAT MEANS NEARLY AN ENTIRE YEAR OF NOT BEING ABLE TO SAFELY TRANSPORT PASSENGERS. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A MASS SCALE ISSUE THAT IS CHALLENGING TO SOLVE, BUT IT'S ALSO RIDICULOUS FOR ME TO SPEND SO MUCH MONEY ON A CAR, ONLY TO LOSE BASICALLY 25% OF THE SEAT SPACE I PAY FOR. IT'S CAUSED MUCH DIFFICULTY TRANSPORTING MY FAMILY, BECAUSE I'M DEFINITELY NOT ALLOWING ANYONE TO SIT IN A SEAT THAT MIGHT KILL THEM. I EXPECTED A LONG WAIT FOR THIS TO RESOLVE, BUT TAKING NEARLY A YEAR IS BORDERING ON UNACCEPTABLE. WHEN CAN I EXPECT TOYOTA TO GET ON THE BALL? THANKS

STATIONARY/PARKED DRIVER'S SEAT - AN INTERNAL STRUCTURE OF THE SEAT HAS BROKEN, ALLOWING A SHARP, RIGID STEEL PIECE TO PROTRUDE FROM THE BACK OF THE SEAT INTO THE PASSENGER AREA. THIS PIECE OF STEEL HAS CUT TWO OF OUR CHILDREN ON THE LEGS AS THEY WERE EXITING THE VEHICLE. (ONE INJURY OCCURRED IN JUNE 2016, TOYOTA NOTIFIED OF PROBLEM IN JULY 2016. SECOND INJURY OCCURRED ON 11/11/2016. TOYOTA AGAIN NOTIFIED.)
