I turned my car on and every light on the dashboard is practically on. It’s saying my (EPS) has failed and now it’s become hard to steer the vehicle. And none of my electrics as far as cruise control work and my speedometer isn’t working nor is it presenting me digital numbers on my dash.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOOSE AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SWERVE WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH. THE FAILURE OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT A FAILURE CODE COULD NOT BE LOCATED. THE DEALER ADJUSTED THE STEERING TORQUE, BUT THE REPAIR DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS OPERATING NORMALLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

The contact owned a 2012 Toyota Corolla.

MY CAR STEERING IS TOO LOOSE, I FLOAT INTO OTHER LANES, CAN'T TURN A CORNER SAFELY OR FREEWAY ONRAMP. THE CAR BLOWS IN THE WIND, BLOWS INTO OTHER LANES. CANNOT DRIVE IN THE WIND ON THE HIGHWAY. THE WHEELS SLIP WHENEVER IT IS WET,AND TRACTION CONTROL DOES'NT SEEM TO CONTROL IT.CANT DRIVE IN WIND OR CORNER AT ALL.

There was a paint recall for my car that expired in 2022. My car’s paint didn’t start peeling until 2023 and I wasn’t informed of the recall. I found out through a Reddit post. The paint peeling is not my fault and I should not have to pay for it.

Paint it's peeling of on randomly spots that it should not have peeling I called toyota recall center and there is nothing they can do since there are no recalls for this models on paint

I turned my car on and every light on the dashboard is practically on. It’s saying my (EPS) has failed and now it’s become hard to steer the vehicle. And none of my electrics as far as cruise control work and my speedometer isn’t working nor is it presenting me digital numbers on my dash.

THE HORN STOPPED WORKING. TOYOTA VERIFIED IT IS THE ELECTRICAL BEHIND THE DASHBOARD, WHICH WILL COST $475.00 TO REPAIR. I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 89 WHEN THE CAR I WAS PASSING STARTED VEERING INTO MY LANE. I WENT TO USE MY HORN AND IT DID NOT WORK! VERY SCARY SITUATION.

BRAKES ON VEHECLE STARTED GETTING VERY LOW ON PEDAL AND SLOW TO STOP . MECHANIC WORKED ON IT REPLACED MODULATOR AND OVER $500. LATER BRAKES STILL NOT WORKING . ANOTHER MECHANIC (ANOTHER ($500) STILL WORKING ON VEHECLE WITHOUT LUCK AS PART THAT'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PROBLEM IS ATTACHED TO THE COMPUTER AND DEALERSHIPS WILL SELL WHOLE COMPUTER AT APROXIMA $4000.00 . HAD BEEN LOOKING FOR USED PART FOR PAST 6 MONTHS (UNABLE TO USE WE) AND EVERY SHOP STATED THAT PART IS PROMPTLY REMOVED FROM CRASHED VEHICLES AS IS A RECURRENT PEOPLE LOOKING FOR IT. ALSO WAS NOTIFIED THAT TOYOTA COROLLA 2012 BRAKE SYSTEM WAS CHANGED ONLY FOR THAT YEAR AND AGAIN YEAR AFTER SAME SYSTEM TILL NOW ... AT EVERY REPAIR SHOP I'M TOLD: ' THAT IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THAT CAR'...

MY CAR HAS 60K MILES ON IT. I HAVE TWO LIGHTS ON MY DASH. I TOOK MY CAR IN AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE BRAKE ACTUATOR. I SEEN SEVERAL RECALLS ON THIS BUT THE COROLLA IS NOT LISTED???? I CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SOLUTIONS WHO TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD BE FOR ME TO COVER. I FIND THIS VERY FRUSTRATING THAT ONE A CAR THAT HAS 60K MILES THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE. NOT TO MENTION THE PRICE OF THE PART I WAS GIVEN $3600!!!!

I got a car accident on Oct 30,2024. The air bag didn't deployed and my head has been injured.

I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR A RECALL REPAIR AND IT WAS RETURNED DAMAGED WITH A PIECE HANGING OUT. THE DEALER ADMITTED THAT THEY KNEW THERE WAS DAMAGE AND OPTED NOT TO TELL ME. I CALLED CORPORATE TOYOTA AND TOLD THEM I WAS CONCERNED THE CAR WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT COMPLETED PROPERLY AND WAS ADVISED I WOULD NEED TO PAY TO HAVE IT INSPECTED BY ANOTHER DEALER AND HAVE THE RECALL PROPERLY REPAIRED, OR I CAN TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER THAT DID NOT INITIALLY PERFORM THE REPAIR CORRECTLY. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE THAT THE CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE SINCE THE VISIBLE COMPONENTS WERE NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY. THE DEALER I WENT TO HAS PROVEN INCAPABLE OF PROPERLY PERFORMING THIS REPAIR. IN SUMMARY, THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT PROPERLY PERFORMED AND CORPORATE TOYOTA ADVISED THAT I WOULD NEED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR IF I TAKE IT TO A REPUTABLE DEALER. *TR

CORROSION TO THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER HOSE OCCURRED IN THE METAL PIPE PORTION OF THE COOLER LINE, SPECIFICALLY THE TOP LINE, (NOT SURE IF THAT'S 'IN' OR 'OUT') CAUSING A LEAK IN ATF. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT CORROSION TO BOTH BOLTS THAT HOLD THIS LINE IN PLACE AND CAUSED THE BOLTS TO SNAP WHEN TRYING TO REPLACE THIS LINE.

THERE IS A DEFECT ON THE INTERIOR REAR VIEW MIRROR. I ATTACHED A PHOTO, NOTICE THE BLACK MARKS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE MIRROR...THESE WILL GET LARGER OVER TIME AND AFFECT VISIBILITY. THIS ALREADY HAPPENED WITH THE ORIGINAL INTERIOR REAR VIEW MIRROR, WHICH WAS REPLACED AT BREDEMANN TOYOTA IN PARK RIDGE, IL. THIS MIRROR IS NEVER TOUCHED, SO THIS IS VERY ODD. *TR

MY CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH A 2ZR-FE ENGINE AND IT IS KNOWN ISSUE FOR ALL THOSE ENGINES AS IT EXHIBIT A MIL "ON" WITH DTC P219A (BANK 1AIR-FUEL RATIO IMBALANCE) PRESENT. SAME ISSUE WITH MOST 2012-2014 COROLLA WHICH HAS ABOVE ENGINE PLUS 2012-2013 MATRIX (TOYOTA) VEHICLES THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS WHOLE ENGINE VIBRATS AND IT MAKES TRAC OFF PLUS CAR WILL BREAKDOWN ANY TIME ON THE ROAD WAY RESULTING CRITICAL SITUATIONS

"TAKATA RECALL" I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE I WAS REAR-ENDED BY A SPEEDING VEHICLE AND KNOCKED INTO A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS STOPPED AT THE TIME OF IMPACT ON A 4-LANE ROADWAY IN A BUSINESS DISTRICT WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 35 MPH. THE VEHICLE THAT HIT ME WAS SPEEDING. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED.

I RENTED A CAR FROM PAYLESS CAR RENTAL AT THE ORLANDO AIRPORT. AFTER BEING ON THE ROAD FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES, THE CAR GOT A FLAT TIRE. WE PULLED OVER CHANGED THE TIRE AND TOOK IT TO WAL MART FOR REPAIR. THE MECHANIC AT WAL MART INFORMED US THE TIRE WAS UNREPAIRABLE. THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE AT INNER WALL DAMAGE THAT HE SAID COULDN'T HAVE BEEN DONE BY US. HE INFORMED US THAT THIS TIRE WAS DRIVEN ON FLAT MANY TIMES BEFORE. I HAVE PICTURES THAT SHOW THE INNER WALL DAMAGE AND IT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE THE TIRE WAS DRY ROTTED. PAYLESS INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX. I THEN RETURNED THE CAR TO THEIR COMPANY AND HAD TO PAY FOR ONE DAY WITH THE CAR. I HAD THE CAR FOR LESS THAN A DAY (APPROX. 5 HOURS). I AM MAKING A COMPLAINT BECAUSE THEY CLEARLY DO NOT INSPECT THEIR CARS BEFORE THEY ARE RENTED OUT TO PEOPLE. I AM SO LUCKY THAT NOTHING SERIOUS HAPPENED TO US BECAUSE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR PROBLEM IF SOMETHING HAD. THEY ARE A TERRIBLE COMPANY. I AM REQUESTING THAT YOU LOOK INTO HOW THEY INSPECT THEIR CARS BEFORE THEY ARE GIVEN OUT TO PEOPLE. I AM SURE I AM NOT THE FIRST PERSON OR THE LAST PERSON THAT WILL HAVE THIS HAPPEN TO THEM. HOW CAN A COMPANY RUN WHEN IT GIVES PAYING CUSTOMERS LEMON'S TO DRIVE. *TR

THE DRIVER FELL ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL, AWOKE AND TRIED TO CORRECT HIS LANE POSITION. UPON HIS ATTEMPT, THE CAR COULD NOT BE STABILIZED OR CONTROLLED. THIS WAS A FRONT END CRASH AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 50 - 55 MPH GOING THROUGH A CHAIN LINK FENCE, HITTING HUNDREDS OF STACKED LOBSTER CRATES (LIKE HITTING A BRICK WALL). THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY TOTALED, THE DRIVER HAD SEAT BELT ON. NOT ONE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR SMASHED THROUGH THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AND A PIECE OF WOODEN LOBSTER CRATE WITH NAILS CAME THROUGH THE FRONT WINDSHIELD AND INTO THE VEHICLE. THIS CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY TO THE DRIVER, SEVER FACIAL AND ELBOW LACERATIONS, AND MAJOR AMOUNTS OF GLASS FRAGMENTS IN HIS BODY. THE DRIVER WAS THE ONLY INDIVIDUAL IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN THERE IS ANY KIND OF WIND (EG. HEAD WIND, CROSS WIND, TAIL WIND), THE VEHICLE IS ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE AND CHANGES DIRECTION WITHOUT DRIVER INPUT. ***VERY DANGEROUS***. NOTIFIED DEALER AT 5K SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS TOO MUCH AIR PRESSURE IN TIRES. THE CHANGE OF AIR PRESSURE BY THE DEALER MADE NO DIFFERENCE, AND I HAVE EXPERIMENTED WITH HIGHER, LOWER, AND 35 PSI IN ALL FOUR TIRES. WITHOUT WINDS, THE CAR DRIVES ABSOLUTELY STRAIGHT AND STABLE ON THE SAME ROADS THAT I DRIVE DAILY. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE AND DON'T BELIEVE I WILL KEEP THIS OTHERWISE NICE CAR FOR VERY LONG. *TR

I PURCHASES A NEW 2012 TOYOTA COROLLA THIS YEAR. ON (FIRST DAY) THE WAY HOME FROM THE DEALER I NOTICED THE VEHICLE TENDS TO SWAY IN THE FREEWAY. IT FEELS SIMILAR TO DRIVING ON A WINDY DAY. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TWO TIMES, HOWEVER, THE PROBLEMS STILL PERSISTS. WHAT RIGHTS DOES THE CUSTOMER HAVE IN THESE TYPES OF CIRCUMSTANCES? *TR

I WAS GOING TO PARK MY CAR IN AN EMPTY PARKING SPOT, WAS JUST IN IDLE SPEED PUTTING THE CAR INTO THE PARKING SPACE WHEN ALL OF IT SUDDEN THE CAR STARTED ACCELERATING BY ITSELF. BECAUSE OF THE ACCELERATION MY CAR HIT THE CAR THAT WAS PARK IN FRONT OF ME, THE ACCELERATION WAS SO SUDDEN AND IT PICK UP ENOUGH SPEED AND FORCE TO MOVE THE PARK CAR THREE TO FIVE INCHES FROM ITS RESTING POINT. THAT IS HOW THE ACCIDENT HAPPEN. ALSO THE AIRBAGS DID NOT OPEN WHEN MY CAR HIT THE OTHER CAR. *TR

WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN OFF OF A BUSY STREET, THE CAR SLOWED TO AN UNSAFE SPEED AND WAS DANGEROUSLY SLOW TO ACCELERATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN WITH THE MOST RECENT ON FEBRUARY 11, 2014. TOYOTA MAINTAINS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG BECAUSE IT HAPPENS AT INTERMITTENT TIMES AND CAN'T BE DUPLICATED IN THE FOUR TIMES IT HAS BEEN TAKEN IN. *TR
