2011 Toyota Corolla Body & structure Problems

I am writing to formally request a recall or resolution for a significant defect in my [2011, Toyota, Corolla] vehicle, which I purchased in 2011. Over time, the paint on my vehicle has begun peeling extensively, affecting not just the aesthetics but also potentially the resale value and durability of the car. This issue appears to be a widespread problem among vehicles of similar make and year, suggesting a potential manufacturing defect. Given the extent of the paint deterioration, I kindly request that Toyota Company acknowledge and address this issue through a recall or appropriate corrective measures. Vehicle Details: Make & Model: Toyota, Corolla Year: 2011 VIN: [XXX] Current Mileage: 80,000 Estimated I would appreciate a prompt response regarding my request. Please let me know the next steps in addressing this concern, including any available remedies Toyota may offer. You may contact me at [XXX] or [XXX] at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I look forward to your response. Best regards, [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

THE RIGHT FRONT OF THE VEHICLE HIT A STATIONARY VEHICLE ON ITS LEFT REAR, AT 25 PLUS MPH, WITH NO ADVANCE BRAKING. DRIVER EXPERIENCED FULL SUN BLINDNESS. NATURALLY THE QUARTER PANELS WERE DESTROYED, BUT THE DAMAGE INCLUDED THE SUSPENSION, WHEEL UNIVERSAL, CAR DOORS WERE PUSHED TOGETHER, AND THERE WAS EVEN A RUMBLE ON THE ROOF. CAR TOTALED. NO AIR BAGS EVER DEPLOYED. THIS SAID, THE DRIVER WAS UNSCATHED AND THE ALIGNMENT WAS STILL GOOD. THE ISSUE GIVEN THAT THE DOORS WERE PUSHED TOGETHER, THERE WAS A RUMPLE IN THE ROOF, BOTH TIRES WERE DEFLATED, AND THE UNIVERSAL AND AXELS WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED (THIS WAS THE MINIMUM IDENTIFIED DAMAGE), THIS SEEMS LIKE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT.

GROSS SAFETY IGNORANCE BY TOYOTA. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND THE DRIVER BEHIND ME STRUCK ME. PROBLEM STARTED THE NEXT DAY AFTER THE SALE TRANSACTION. THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLIANT WITH NHTSA. ALL EXHIBITS ON THE FILE. I ASKED OTHER DEALERSHIPS TO FIX THE VEHICLE; THEY REFUSED TO PERFORM NEITHER TEST NOR INSPECTION DUE TO MANUFACTURE DEFECTS. I WAS SENT BACK TO THE TOYOTA CASE MANGERS WHO IGNORES THE SAFETY AND REFUSES TO PROVIDE RESOLUTIONS. AUDIO RECORDING ON THE FILE. I NOTIFIED THE SERVICER AND THE MANUFACTURE REP WHICH WAS THE TOYOTA CASE MANAGER ABOUT THE ONGOING PROBLEM. I SENT CERTIFIED REGISTERED LETTERS. BOTHE, THE MANUFACTURE REP AND THE SERVICER GAVE VERBAL GUARANTEES WHICH WERE BROKEN. THEY ARE FLIP-FLOPPING, THEIR VERBAL GUARANTEES AND PROMISES WERE BROKEN OVER AND OVER. THE VEHICLE HAS ONGOING PROBLEMS OCCURRING DAILY BUT IT IS COMPLETELY RANDOM. THE MANUFACTURE REP REFUSED TO INSTALL A CHAT RECORDER AND MONITORS THE VEHICLE SYMPTOMS, HE FUSES TO PROVIDE TECHNICAL INFORMATION ON THE ALLOWABLE TEMPERATURE BREAKS ROTOR DISK; EXCESSIVE BREAK PADS DUST BUILDUP, THE SERVICER REFUSES FURTHER TEST THE VEHICLE. THE SHORT TEST DRIVE WHICH THE SERVICER USES TO TEST THE VEHICLE IS INSUFFICIENT. TESTS ARE DURING THE RUSH HOUR AND SHORT DRIVEN DISTANCES. I OFFER TO PAY FOR THE TECHNICIAN TIME AND DRIVE THE VEHICLE OUTSIDE THE RUSH HOUR AND LONGER DISTANCE BUT IT WAS REJECTED AS WELL. MY COMPLAINT TO NHTSA HASNT BROUGHT TOYOTAS ATTENTION EITHER.

ON 2/19/15 AT AROUND 9:27 PM MY CAR WAS HIT BY A PICKUP TRUCK IN DOWNTOWN BELLEVUE, HERE IS WHAT HAPPENED 1. I APPROACHED THE INTERSECTION TO TAKE A LEFT FROM BELLEVUE WAY NE TO ENTER NE 7TH ST WHICH TAKES INTO THE LINCOLN SQUARE CINEMA PARKING LOT 2. I SAW THE RED SIGNAL (EXCLUSIVE LEFT ARROW) AND WAITED FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN GREEN TO TAKE LEFT. MY CAR WAS FIRST IN LINE WAITING ON RED 3. ONCE THE LEFT ARROW TURNED GREEN I STARTED TURNING LEFT AND HALF WAY INTO THE ROADWAY A PICKUP TRUCK (DRIVING AT AROUND 45-50 MPH) HIT MY CAR ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE (SIDE COLLISION) 4. WITH THAT IMPACT MY CAR WAS DRAGGED ABOUT 15 FEET AND HIT ANOTHER CAR, THAT WAS STANDSTILL AND WAITING TO TURN RIGHT FROM NE 7THST TO BELLEVUE WAY NE) THE IMPACT TO MY CAR WAS SO INTENSE POLICE OFFICER FILED A CASE AND INTERVIEWED WITNESSES AT THE SCENE AND CONCLUDED IT WAS OTHER GUY (PICKUP TRUCK) MISTAKE. HOWEVER, I AM SURPRISED WHY AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY? MINE IS FAIRLY NEW CAR, ONLY 3 YEAR OLD WITH 33K MILAGE. I BROUGHT IT BRAND NEW IN DECEMBER 2011 I AM TAKING THIS SERIOUS BECAUSE, FORTUNATELY MY WIFE IS NOT IN THE CAR WHEN ACCIDENT HAPPENED. HOWEVER, ME AND MY WIFE USUALLY GO EVERYWHERE TOGETHER, AND I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED IF SHE WAS SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAR. SO I WANT TO FILE A CASE AGAINST THE CAR COMPANY FOR SELLING ME A DEFECTIVE CAR. *TR

I WAS APPROACHING A FOUR WAY STOP AT THE APPROPRIATE SPEED LIMIT OF 35MPH BEFORE THE IMPACT. AS I WAS GETTING CLOSER, I WENT AHEAD AND DECELERATED. I'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES IN THE PAST. AS I GOT CLOSER TO THE STOP SIGN, IN A BLINK OF AN EYE, I WAS BEING DRAGGED BY A LARGE CHEVY HEAVY DUTY TRUCK ACROSS THE INTERSECTION. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY EITHER. THE IMPACT COMPLETELY DISMANTLED MY FRONT END. AFTER THE PARAMEDICS AND FIRE FIGHTERS ARRIVE, I WAS RUSHED TO THE ER FOR REPORTED BACK AND NECK INJURIES. I WAS LOOKED OVER AND WAS DISCHARGED BARELY BEING ABLE TO WALK. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP QUITE A DISTANCE AWAY FROM MY HOME. MY INSURANCE SAID THE SHOP COULD BE TRUSTED. I ASKED OVER 20 PEOPLE AND EACH PERSON SAID THAT THE DAMAGE FROM THIS CAR HAS TO RESULT IN BEING TOTALED. THE MECHANIC SAID OTHERWISE. HE BEGAN WORKING ON THE CAR WITHOUT MY CONSENT AND DEMANDED; THREATENED MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO PAY HIM $4,000 FOR A FEW DAYS OF WORK AND $7,000 LATER ON. THIS WAS AFTER I HAD ALREADY SPOKEN WITH MY INSURANCE TO FILE THIS CAR AS BEING TOTALED. THE MECHANIC THREATENED FOR MONEY SAYING HE HAD ALREADY STARTED ON THE CAR WHEN HE NEVER EVEN TOUCHED IT AFTER 3 WEEKS. I USED TO TRUST TOYOTA VEHICLES, BUT AFTER THIS ACCIDENT I'M NEVER BUYING ANOTHER TOYOTA AGAIN. THE EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAM SAID IT WAS A MIRACLE THAT I WAS ALIVE. MY COMPLAINT IS THE AIRBAGS AND BRAKES FAILED TO DO THEIR JOB. *TR

I NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE FLOOR MAT MOVED TO THE FRONT AND I AM AFRAID THAT THE FLOORMAT COULD JAM THE GAS PEDAL LIKE IT HAPPENED BEFORE. TO MY KNOWLEDGE THERE HAVE BEEN FATALITIES DUE TO GAS PEDALS JAMMED BY THE FLOORMAT ON PREVIOUS TOYOTA MODELS. TOYOTA CLAIMED THAT THE FLOOR MAT ISSUE WAS ADDRESSED BUT THE 2 CLIPS WHICH ARE SUPPOSED TO SECURE THE FLOORMAT ARE NOT STRONG ENOUGH. MY VEHICLE WAS NOT EVEN 3 YEARS OLD WHEN I FIRST NOTICED THAT THE FLOOR MAT CAN'T BE SECURED ANYMORE. THE TWO TINY PLASTIC HOOKS ARE BENT AND DON'T HOLD THE FLOOR MAT IN PLACE. *TR

ON MAY 04, 2013, MY MOM WAS INVOLVED IN A BAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENT WITH HER 2011 TOYOTA COROLLA WHERE THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE INSURANCE ADJUSTOR WROTE IT UP AS A TOTAL LOSS AND ADVISED ME TO CONTACT TOYOTA TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING. MY MOM IS CURRENTLY RECOVERING FROM TWO MAJOR SURGERIES FROM THIS ACCIDENT. THE FIRST SURGERY THEY HAD TO REMOVE HER LEFT KIDNEY DUE TO INTERNAL BLEEDING. THE SECOND SURGERY WAS 41/2 HOURS LONG REPAIRING HER BADLY BROKEN RIGHT ARM. .ALL PARTIES INVOLVED, AT THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT, TO THE MEDICAL STAFF AT THE HOSPITAL AND THE TOWING COMPANY ALL ADVISED ME TO CONTACT TOYOTA AND INQUIRE ABOUT THE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING. THE DRIVER PARKED HER CAR IN A BANK PARKING LOT TO WRITE OUT A CHECK AND WANTED TO CASH IT USING THE BANK DRIVE THRU. SHE BACKED OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT, MISJUDGING THE PARKING MEDIUM / ISLAND ON HER RIGHT HAND SIDE AND STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN. AT THE TIME, HER CAR GOT STUCK ON TOP OF THE MEDIUM. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO FREE HER CAR BY PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL DOWN, THE DRIVER LOST CONTROL OF HER VEHICLE AFTER FINALLY BREAKING FREE FROM THE MEDIUM. THE DRIVER DROVE UP AND OVER A PARKING LOT CURB AND ONTO THE GRASS, SCRAPING A BANK SIGN, THROUGH A BLACK IRON FENCE, OFF AN (5FT. TO 6FT.) EMBANKMENT WALL AND INTO A LARGE WOOD UTILITY POLE. THIS CRASH CAUSED HER LAUNCH FROM THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND HEAD FIRST INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW, SHE INJURED THE TOP OF HER HEAD WHERE SHE NEEDED SEVERAL STITCHES. *TR
