DISTRACTED DRIVING IS GOING MORE HI-TECH WITH THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF A JOINT VENTURE BY TOYOTA AND MICROSOFT TO BRING THE INTERNET TO THE DASHBOARD. (SEE: HTTP://BLOGS.CARS.COM/KICKINGTIRES/CAR_GADGETS/ ) TO ME, THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DISTRACTION TO DRIVERS WHO NEED TO BE PAYING ATTENTION TO THE ROAD. THERE ARE REQUIREMENTS THAT IN-CAR ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEMS MUST BE BEHIND THE DRIVERS AND OUT OF THEIR SIGHT. PUTTING AN IN-DASH DATA CENTER IN VIEW OF, OR WORSE, FOR USE BY THE DRIVER EXACERBATES THE GROWING SAFETY PROBLEM OF DISTRACTED DRIVING. I RECOMMEND THAT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION OR CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION INTERCEPT AND PREVENT THESE PRODUCTS, OR REQUIRE THEM TO BE BEHIND THE DRIVER OR, AT LEAST, REQUIRE AN INTERLOCK SO THAT THEY CAN ONLY BE VIEWED WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS IN "PARK" AND NOT WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR IS FALLING OFF OF MY 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA MINIVAN. TOYOTA ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN RECALL FOR THIS DEFECT IN 2005. THE PROBLEM 1ST APPEARED IN MY CAR IN MARCH 2007. THE FOLSOM LAKE TOYOTA DEALER REPAIRED MY VEHICLE BY SENDING IT OUT TO A WELDING COMPANY TO BE REPAIRED. I WAS PROVIDED WITH A RENTAL CAR AT NO CHARGE BY TOYOTA. THE DESCRIPTION OF THE DEFECT, AS STATED ON THE REPAIR SLIP IS AS FOLLOWS: "...FOUND DOOR DEFORMED AND WELD BROKEN INSIDE DOOR , 23 REPLACED DRIVERS DOOR CHECK, SUBLET TO BODY SHOP FOR REPAIR OF DOOR." I HAVE A COPY OF THIS ORIGINAL REPAIR FORM. THE 2ND TIME THIS DEFECT RE-APPEARED WAS ON JULY 8, 2010. I IMMEDIATELY REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO TOYOTA CORPORATE, WAS ASSIGNED CASE # 1007081422 AND WAS ADVISED BY THE TOYOTA CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVE THAT THE TOYOTA OF RICHMOND, INDIANA DEALER WOULD BE CALLING ME WITHIN 3 DAYS TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO BRING MY CAR IN AND RECEIVE A FREE RENTAL UNTIL MY CAR'S DEFORMITIES WERE FIXED. THE DEALER FAILED TO RESPOND WITHIN 3 DAYS, AND I CALLED CORPORATE AGAIN ON 7-14-10 AND SPOKE WITH CATHERINE. SHE SENT ANOTHER REQUEST TO TOYOTA OF RICHMOND AND SAID THAT I WOULD HEAR FROM THE DEALER WITHIN 24 HRS. AGAIN, TOYOTA OF RICHMOND FAILED TO CONTACT ME. I CALLED TOYOTA CORPORATE MOMENTS AGO (7-16-10), AND JESSIE SAID THEY HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THEIR DEALERS FIXING TOYOTA DEFECTS AND THAT I SHOULD TRY TO CONTACT THEM MYSELF. TOYOTA HAS A LEGAL AND ETHICAL RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THEIR KNOWN DEFECTIVE PROBLEMS. AFTER ALL OF THESE FAILED ATTEMPTS TO GET RICHMOND TOYOTA TO CONTACT ME TO INITIATE THE REPAIR PROCESS, TOYOTA SHOULD BE FINED AND/OR TOYOTA SHOULD BE PROHIBITED FROM SELLING IN THE US MARKETPLACE. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS CLEARLY FALLING OFF AND WILL CAUSE INJURIES WHEN THIS HAPPENS. *TR

MY CAR IS A 2007 AVALON TOYOTA AND WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED IT I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR ACCELERATING, BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER AND NO PROBLEM WAS EVER FOUND. THIS HAPPENED A MINIMUM OF 3 TIMES. THEN THE CAR SEEMED TO BE OK, AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO. I DID NOT BRING IT TO THE DEALER. THE CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING FINE, BUT I HAVE BEEN WATCHFUL OF IT. AND IWAS TOLD JUST TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND TURN OFF THE MOTOR. BUT IT DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. WHILE IN FLORIDA THIS PAST WINTER I DID HAVE MY CAR SERVICED FOR ALL 3 RECALLS WITH MUCH HESITATION SINCE, AS I SAID, THE CAR SEEMED TO BE OK. IT HAS BEEN APPROX. 3 WEEKS SINCE I HAD ALL THE RECALL WORK DONE AND WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM FLA. I WENT INTO A GAS STATION TO PUT AIR IN MY TIRES AND THEN ALL [XXX] BROKE LOOSE. I WAS DRIVING SLOW LOOKING FOR THE AIR PUMP AND THE CARWENT CRAZY ACCELERATING. I YELLED, PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES AND TURNED OFF THE MOTOR. IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FLOOR MAT, PEDAL ETC. NOTHING WAS NOTICEABLE STUCK. I LOVE THIS CAR, BUT THERE IS A DEVIL INSIDE THE MOTOR. SINCE THE RECALL DID NOT TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM WHAT SHOULD I DO? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ON FEB. 11, 2010 I TOOK MY TOYOTA AVALON IN FOR THE ACCELERATOR RECALL. ON FEB. 17, 2010 I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE ON THE GROUNDS OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL I WORKED AT THAT DAY WHEN MY CAR ACCELERATED. IT JUMPED THE CURB SIDESWIPING MY CAR WITH A CAR THAT WAS PARKED ON MY RIGHT. AFTER IT HIT THE GROUND FROM JUMPING THE CURB IT ACCELERATED AGAIN HEADING STRAIGHT TOWARD THE SCHOOL BUILDING. I PUT TWO FEET ON THE BRAKE AND PRESSED AS HARD AS I COULD. THE CAR DID STOP. THE CAR WAS TOWED BY AAA TO A TOYOTA DEALER IN FORT SMITH, AR (WHERE THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED). I BOUGHT THE CAR AT MOLLE TOYOTA IN KC, MO WHERE I LIVE (OVERLAND PARK, KS). THE INSURANCE ADJUSTOR CAME THAT DAY TO CHECK THE DAMAGE. HE SAID AN INVESTIGATOR WOULD BE OUT TO CHECK IT THE "CAUSE OF IMPACT". AS OF NOW, THAT HAS NOT HAPPENED. MY INSURANCE COMPANY KEEPS TELLING ME TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO KC FOR REPAIRS AND I TOLD THEM I WILL NOT DRIVE AN UNSAFE CAR. I WILL NOT TOUCH THE CAR UNTIL SOMEONE INVESTIGATES THE REASON FOR THE ACCELERATION. I HAVE CALLED MY DEALER, WHO HAS BEEN WONDERFUL; TOYOTA CORPORATE WHO HAS BEEN HORRIBLE (THE FIRST THING "BARBARA" SAID TO ME WAS "WELL, WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO ABOUT IT?") SHE RELUCTANTLY SAID SHE WOULD CHECK IT OUT. SHE CALLED THE TOYOTA DEALER IN FORT SMITH AND TOLD HIM THAT TOYOTA INSPECTORS WOULD BE OUT WITHIN 10 DAYS BUT DIDN'T KNOW WHEN. I CALLED THE HIGHWAY TRANSPORTATION SAFETY DEPT. WHO SAID THEY DIDN'T DEAL WITH THAT AND TO CALL MY KS ATTORNEY GENERAL. I CALLED THE ATTORNEY GENERAL WHO TOLD ME TO EMAIL THIS ADDRESS. SO . . . STATUS: MY CAR IS STILL IN FORT SMITH, AR ON A TOYOTA LOT AND NOBODY WILL TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT HAPPENED OR HELP ME WITH MY NEXT STEPS. I DON'T THINK ANYONE BELIEVED THAT THE CAR ACCELERATED AFTER THE RECALL FIX. FINALLY, IT APPEARS THAT OTHERS AROUND THE COUNTRY ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE THAT I WILL NOT DRIVE AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT. THANK YOU. *TR

MY COMPLAINT IS ABOUT THE NHTSA AND THE CONSTANT BERATEMENT OF TOYOTA. YOU HAVE NEVER RAISED THIS MUCH STINK OVER A DOMESTIC MANF. IT IS CLEAR TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC THAT THIS WHOLE DEAL IS POLITICAL TO TRY AND DRIVE CUSTOMERS TO GM, CHRYSLER & FORD. SINCE GM & CHRYSLER IS PROPPED UP BY THE GOVERNMENT WITH THE TAX PAYERS MONIES. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE NOT THE FOOLS YOU THINK THEY ARE. I WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU WAKE UP & LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE, IT IS NO SECRET THAT ALL THIS IS COMING FROM THE WHITE HOUSE. WAKE-UP ! *TR

I HAVE A 2005 SCION TC THAT I PURCHASE BRAND NEW FROM THE FACTORY. RECENTLY I HAD MY HANDLE LATCH BROKEN FROM NORMAL USE. I LIFTED IT LIKE YOU WOULD NORMALLY DO AND IT JUST SNAPPED (BROKE). I THEN REALIZED THAT IT WAS FRAMED OR MADE WITH THIN PLASTIC THAT WOULDN'T LAST LONG ON THE CAR ITSELF BECAUSE IF YOU APPLY NORMAL PRESSURE BY OPENING IT, THE HANDLE IS NOT MADE TO HANDLE SUCH PRESSURE BY THE WEIGHT OF THE TRUCK AND GLASS. IT'S A HATCH BACK. I NOTICE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER SCION TC OWNERS ON SEVERAL BLOGS AND WEBSITES. I HAVE NOT ATTEMPTED TO FIX IT BECAUSE I'M LOOKING AT PARTS ALONE $180 WITHOUT LABOR. I WAS WONDERING IF THERE'S ANYTHING I COULD DO BESIDES FILING A COMPLAINT. THANK YOU. *TR

SAFETY ISSUE. WATER FOUND IN TOYOTA ATF TYPE T4. I WANT TO REPORT THE FOLLOWING. OUR COMPANY HAS RECENTLY BOUGHT SEVERAL DRUMS OF TOYOTA ATF TYPE T4, PART NUMBER 00279-DRMT4 FROM A TOYOTA DEALER, THE DRUMS WERE DELIVERED IN THE PERIOD APRIL - MAY THIS YEAR, 2009. IN TWO OF THOSE DRUMS OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE FOUND WATER TRAITS. THE FLUID HAD SOME PRECIPITATION. ALSO THE FLUID HAD AN UNUSUAL COLOR FOR TOYOTA ATF TYPE T4. WE'VE SENT THE OIL FOR INSPECTION AND CHEMICAL ANALYSIS TO AN INDEPENDENT THIRD PARTY LAB. I UNDERSTAND THIS CAN DAMAGE TRANSMISSION WHICH IS VITAL FOR SAFE DRIVING AND CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS FOR THOSE WHO ARE ALREADY ON THE ROAD AT THE MOMENT. WE WANT TO SEE THAT ALL NECESSARY MEASURES INCLUDING RECALLS FOR ATF OIL CHANGE HAVE BEEN TAKEN - AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO PREVENT DEATH AND INJURES OF THOSE WHO HAVE RECENTLY HAD THEIR TOYOTA ATF OIL CHANGED. WE ALSO WANT FROM TOYOTA TO REPLACE OR REIMBURSE THOSE DRUMS WE'VE FOUND PROBLEMS WITH. *TR

AFTER HAVING DRIVEN MY PRIUS NEARLY 15,000 MILES IN ALL TYPES OF WEATHER (EXCEPT SNOW) AND ON RESIDENTIAL ROADS AS WELL AS INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS WITH NO STEERING PROBLEMS, ON A SINGLE DAY ON RESIDENTIAL STREETS AT 20 TO 25 MPH AND GENTLE RAIN, IT HYDROPLANED TWICE WITH DAMAGES EACH TIME TO THE CAR AND TO A FIRE HYDRANT ONCE. EACH EVENT WAS WHILE GOING AROUND A GENTLE LEFT CURVE AT REASONABLE SPEED. THE FIRST TIME, I WAS ABLE TO CORRECT AND SPIN OUT 360 DEGREES WITH THE LEFT QUARTER-PANEL HITTING A ROADSIDE GARBAGE CONTAINER. THE SECOND TIME, THE CAR DID NOT RESPOND TO ANY STEERING MANEUVERS NOR THE BRAKES WHEN APPLIED. THE CAR STOPPED ONLY AFTER COLLIDING WITH THE FIRE HYDRANT. SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE WAS SUSTAINED IN EACH COLLISION. I HAVE TRAVELED THIS STREET SEVERAL TIMES DAILY, OFTEN ON RAINY DAYS, AND NEVER BEFORE HAD ANY STEERING PROBLEMS. IT WAS AS THOUGH SOMETHING HAD CHANGED IN THE STEERING CONTROL ON THIS DAY. I WAS SOBER AND UNIMPAIRED. *TR

I AM THE FIRST OWNER OF MY TOYOTA COROLLA, WHICH HAS 74,000 MILE ON IT NOW. THE CAR HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. HOWEVER, THERE ARE SOME UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR THREE AND HALF YEARS (MARCH 2005), THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE EVAPORATION SYSTEM HAD MALFUNCTION AND THE CHARCOAL CANISTER AND VACUUM SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I HAD SPENT MORE THAN $600.00 TO HAVE THIS DONE. AT THAT TIME I DID NOT COMPLAIN TOO MUCH. HOWEVER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN IN NOVEMBER 2007, I HAD TO SPEND ANOTHER $600.00 TO REPLACE CANISTER AND VALVE AGAIN (AFTER TWO AND HALF YEARS LATER). I BELIEVE THAT THE TWO CHARCOAL CANISTERS HAD VERY BAD QUALITY! *TR

I PURCHASED A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY IN MARCH 2006. THIS NEW VEHICLE HAD SEVERAL DEFECTS INCLUDING THE REPLACEMENT OF A DASH BY THE DEALER AFTER DELIVERY. THE QUALITY OF THE BRAKE ROTORS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE UNSATISFACTORY. I HAVE HAD THE ROTORS REPLACED FIVE TIMES. THE VEHICLE HAS APPROX. 46,000 MILES. I HAVE HAD TWO INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOPS EVALUATE THE FACTORY ROTORS AND THEY BOTH COME TO THE SAME CONCLUSION, POOR QUALITY ROTORS. IT'S NOT HOW THE VEHICLE IS BEING OPERATED SINCE WE ARE NOT CAUSING ANYTHING THAT WOULD CAUSE THESE ROTORS TO WARP THE WAY THEY DO. WE DO NOT DRIVE OUR VEHICLES HARD, JUST TO CAUSE MORE MAINTENANCE EXPENSES. TOYOTA HAS PAID FOR REPLACING THE ROTORS ONCE. THEY HAVE ALSO CHARGED ME TWICE FOR THE SAME WORK AND I HAVE PAID TWICE TO ANOTHER AUTO SHOP. I TRIED TO FILE A COMPLAINT THROUGH TOYOTA AND THAT WAS USELESS. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A TOYOTA VEHICLE AGAIN. REAL SAD HOW THEY WERE HANDLING MY COMPLAINT. *TR

UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION OF A 2006 LEXUS GS 300 OCCURRED DURING OVERTAKING OF ANOTHER VEHICLE ON A TWO LANE US HIGHWAY. CAR WAS TOWED TO A LEXUS DEALER (LEXUS OF FT. WAYNE INDIANA) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE DRIVER'S FLOOR MAT WAS JAMMED AGAINST THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE DEALER STATED THAT THIS WAS THE ONLY CASE OF THIS TO THEIR KNOWLEDGE. AFTER SEEING THE NHTSA REPORT OF RECALL REGARDING DIFFERENT LEXUS VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM I SUSPECT THAT NHTSA HAS NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE POTENTIAL FOR THE PROBLEM TO BE MORE WIDESPREAD, POTENTIALLY REQUIRING A BROADER RECALL EFFORT. THE DATE OF THE INCIDENT (12/28/06) IS APPROXIMATE. I WOULD EXPECT THAT THE EXACT DATE IS AVAILABLE FROM THE DEALER. THE INFORMATION UNDER "EQUIPMENT" IS NOT ACCURATE AS THE CHOICES MAKE NO SENSE. *TR
