AS SOON AS I STARTED DRIVING MY CAR UPON LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR, I NOTICED IT MOVED FORWARD AS IF BEING BUMPED FROM BEHIND AS I LET UP ON THE ACCELERATOR. ALSO, IF I REMOVED MY FOOT QUICKLY FROM THE PEDAL AND WAITED A FEW SECONDS BEFORE PLACING MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR WOULD MAKE JERKY MOTIONS AND THE TACHOMETER (RPM) WOULD JUMP WILDLY. I DIDN'T KNOW IF THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE ACCELERATOR OR IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I BROUGHT IT TO THE TWICE FOR THE PROBLEM BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING SHOWING UP ON THE DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER CHECK THE FIRST TIME. THE SERVICE TECH DID HAVE TO RE-SET THE ORIGINAL SETTING ON SOMETHING AND HE TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK IF THAT DIDN'T FIX IT. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTED SO I BROUGHT IT BACK THE SECOND TIME AND THE TECH RODE WITH ME AND HE ALSO FELT WHAT I WAS EXPERIENCING. HE TRIED TO EXPLAIN IT AWAY BUT I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT IT WAS THE CAR GETTING USED TO A NEW DRIVER AS HE SAID IT WAS BECAUSE IT IS STILL HAVING THE PROBLEM AND I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR FOR 1,225.

BUT I FEEL IT NEEDS TO BE DOCUMENTED. WE PURCHASED A 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHAT I NOTICED ABOUT THE GAS PEDAL IS THAT IT DOESN'T PRESS VERY SMOOTHLY, YOU HAVE TO BABY IT, OR YOU GET A JACK RABBIT START. BUT THAT IS NOT WHY I AM WRITING. WE GET MICE IN THE CAR ON A REGULAR BASIS. THERE ARE APPARENTLY GAPS THAT ALLOW FOR MICE TO GET IN. THEY CHEW ON THINGS, EAT FOOD AND PEE. IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THERE SHOULD BE GAPS BIG ENOUGH TO ALLOW THIS TYPE OF ACCESS. I LOOKED BELOW AND THERE IS A LOT OF GAP SPACE BETWEEN THE BOOT AROUND THE STEERING SHAFT. AGAIN I KNOW THIS SOUNDS TRIVIAL. BUT IF A MOUSE CAN GET IN, SO CAN OTHER CREATURES...A SNAKE? IMAGINE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND HAVING SOME CRITTER APPEAR AND SCARE THE DAYLIGHTS OUT OF YOU. ANYWAY, THAT IS ALL. I JUST FELT IT SHOULD BE REPORTED.

THE SERVICE MANAGER ASSURED ME THAT HE WILL CHECK THE PROBLEM. THE REAR BRAKES WERE NOT ALIGNED PROPERLY . FRANKLY I CAN'T TRUST THAT CAR. I FEEL THAT CARS 2 BASIC FUNCTIONALITIES WENT WRONG. 1. BRAKE 2. GAS PEDAL. IF TOYOTA CAN'T GET 2 BASIC THINGS RIGHT THEY SHOULD STOP MAKING CARS.

I TRIED TO ACCELERATE SLIGHTLY TO THE SPEED LIMIT OF 35MPH AND DISCOVERED (AGAIN, WITH NO WARNING) THAT MY CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD. NONE OF THE SYSTEMS WORKED STEERING ETC.

I WAS SCARED TO DRIVE IT, BUT I DID FOR MAYBE ANOTHER MONTH BEFORE DECIDING THAT HE CONSTANT FEAR OF IT HAPPENING AGAIN (MAYBE ON THE FREEWAY) WAS NOT WORTH IT. THE DEALER MADE ME A "DEAL" ON A TRADE FOR A 2010 COROLLA. I DROVE THIS CAR UNTIL 2 WEEKS AGO. I COULD NOT LIVE WITH THE ANXIETY OF HAVING ANOTHER (IN MY MIND) ELECTRONIC FAILURE.

GOD WAS WITH ME. I AM AWARE OF MY CAR'S STEERING ISSUE BUT I CANNOT DRIVE AT 30MPH ON A HIGHWAY. KEEPING THE STEERING STRAIGHT IS A TASK ALL ON ITS OWN. I'M FOCUSING ON THE CAR NOT VEERING INTO ANOTHER LANE AND CAUSING A FATAL ACCIDENT WHEN I SHOULD BE FOCUSING ON THE ROAD AND DRIVING IN A NORMAL STATE RATHER THEN A PANICKY ONE. I DRIVE THIS HIGHWAY EVERYDAY AND I HAVE BEEN CLOSE MANY TIMES TO HITTING OTHER VEHICLES. I REALLY NEED THIS TO BE INVESTIGATED I AM BECOMING MORE AND MORE SCARED EVERY DAY ON MY DRIVE TO WORK. DRIVING IN THAT STATE OF MIND IS NOT SAFE. I'M CONSIDERING MY STATES LEMON LAW PETITION PROGRAM BECAUSE ITS OBVIOUS THAT TOYOTA EITHER DOESN'T CARE OR PROBABLY TO BUSY FIXING THEIR OTHER FLAWS. I'M THROUGH WITH TOYOTA I JUST WANT THEM TO TAKE BACK THEIR COROLLA I CAN CARE LESS ABOUT THE PAYMENTS I'VE MADE. THEY NEED TO TAKE THEIR CAR VOID MY LOAN BECAUSE I RATHER WALK AND HAVE MY LIFE THAN PLAY RUSSIAN RULLET IN THAT CAR. THIS IS AN EVERYDAY INCIDENT.

I ALMOST GOT KILLED AVOIDING OTHER CARS AT INTERSECTIONS. ONCE AGAIN, THE DEALERSHIP TRIED TO DUPLICATE THE SITUATION AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I TOLD THEM I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE CAR WHICH WILL END UP CRASHING AT SOME POINT FROM A FAULTY BRAKE SYSTEM. THEY SAID THEY CAN NOT DO ANYTHING. I SAID THE RECALL PART IS NOT EFFECTIVE AND THE CONSUMERS NEED TO BE AWARE. ALL I ASKED FOR WAS A NEW COROLLA AND I WOULD CONTINUE ALL MY PAYMENTS. I DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE CAR ON THE ROAD (NOR SHOULD OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS). THE DEALERSHIP IS IN BURLINGTON VERMONT. *TR

I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW IN 8/08. THE STRAIGHT LINE STABILITY OF THIS CAR IS TERRIBLE AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 50MPH. THIS PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW. IT DRIFTS AND WANDERS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AS IF IT IS BEING BUFFETED BY HIGH WINDS WHEN NO SUCH CONDITION EXISTS. IT REQUIRES DELIBERATE AND DISTRACTING FOCUS TO KEEP CAR IN ITS LANE. THE CAR GOES OFF COURSE WITH THE SLIGHTEST MOVEMENT OF THE STEERING WHEEL. IT DOES NOT SEEM TO HAVE ANY NEUTRAL STEERING POSITION, YOU HAVE TO CONSTANTLY CORRECT THE STEERING TO KEEP THE CAR IN LANE.. IF YOU TAKE YOUR EYE OFF THE ROAD FOR A SECOND THE CAR WILL DRIFT INTO ANOTHER LANE. CERTAIN ROAD CONDITIONS, SUCH AS WORN OR TROUGHED, (GULLIED?) PAVEMENT AS WELL AS INCREASED WINDY CONDITIONS MAKE THE CAR ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE. THEN YOU HAVE TO GRIP THE STEERING WHEEL WITH BOTH HANDS IN AN ATTEMPT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE TRAVELING STRAIGHT.

BRAKES MAY FAIL AT VERY LOW TEMPERATURES. I LIVE IN MARYLAND, AND MARYLAND IS NOT ONE OF THE STATES LISTED IN THE RECALL. I DO NOT KNOW HOW TOYOTA ARRIVED AT WHICH STATES ARE COLD AND WHICH ARE NOT. BUT I HAVE TWO SERIOUS OBJECTIONS TO THE STATE RESTRICTION. 1. WHILE SOME WINTERS ARE MILD IN MARYLAND, OTHERS ARE NOT. FOR INSTANCE, LAST WINTER WAS VERY COLD. I HAVE THE HEATING BILLS TO PROVE IT. 2. BUT BY FAR, MY MOST SERIOUS OBJECTION SHOULD BE OBVIOUS TO ANYONE. THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF A CAR IS TO TRAVEL. EVEN IF YOU LIVE IN FLORIDA AND OWN ONE OF THE RECALLED VEHICLES, DOES THIS MEAN YOU CAN NOT DRIVE TO MINNESOTA TO SPEND SEVERAL WEEKS TO VISIT FAMILY OVER THE HOLIDAYS? DOES THIS MEAN I CAN'T DRIVE TO UPSTATE NEW YORK THIS WINTER FOR A VACATION AS I HAVE PLANNED? A CAR IS NOT A HOUSE. IT IS VERY RARE THAT A HOUSE MOVES FROM STATE TO STATE WHILE IT IS VERY VERY COMMON THAT CARS DO. LOOKING AT THE VARIOUS STATE TAGS ON THE INTERSTATE 95 WILL CONFIRM THIS. THEREFORE, I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE STATE LIMITATION ON THIS RECALL - PARTICULARLY BECAUSE IT INVOLVES SOMETHING AS SERIOUS AS POSSIBLE BRAKE FAILURE. *TR

THE RECALL SAYS IF MY VEHICLE IS OPERATED IN EXTREMELY LOW TEMPERATURES, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT CONDENSED MOISTURE MAY FREEZE CAUSING A POTENTIAL RISK OF BRAKE FAILURE LEADING TO AN INCREASED RISK OF A CRASH. I LIVE IN UPSTATE NEW YORK WHERE THE TEMPERATURES DROP TO FREEZING AND BELOW THIS TIME OF YEAR. AS SOON AS I RECEIVED THIS NOTICE, I CALLED THE DEALER I PURCHASED MY COROLLA FROM TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO CORRECT THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM. AFTER A GOOD 5 MINUTES OF BEING PUT ON HOLD, A REPRESENTATIVE PICKED UP AND NICELY ASKED WHAT SHE COULD DO FOR ME. I DESCRIBED THE RECALL AND WAS PUT ON HOLD AGAIN. ANOTHER 4-5 MINUTES PAST AND THEN SHE PICKED UP TO TELL ME THAT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WOULD CALL ME BACK WHEN THEY WEREN'T SO BUSY. I AM AT RETIREMENT AGE AND CAN'T RISK HAVING AN ACCIDENT.

IS HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE MODEL YEAR 2008-2009 SCION XD AND 2009-2010 COROLLA, COROLLA MATRIX, AND PONTIAC VIBE VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 1.8L ENGINE AND ORIGINALLY SOLD IN OR CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN CERTAIN STATES. MY CONCERN IS FOR THOSE LIKE MYSELF WHO PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND OR HAS THE VEHICLE REGISTERED IN A STATE THAT IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. WHAT IF I DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO A STATE LISTED IN THE RECALL. ALSO, UNDER HARSH CONDITIONS CERTAIN PARTS OF MY STATE CAN HAVE THESE ¿LOW AMBIENT TEMPERATURES¿. ACCORDING TO THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 09V338000, THE CONSEQUENCE OF THIS DEFECT IS THAT ¿THIS COULD LEAD TO AN INCREASE IN VEHICLE STOPPING DISTANCE AND A CRASH COULD OCCUR¿. A SUMMARY OF THE DEFECT IS ¿WHEN DRIVING UNDER CERTAIN UNIQUE CONDITIONS IN EXTREMELY LOW AMBIENT TEMPERATURES, THE INTAKE MANIFOLD SUCTION PORT FOR THE BRAKE VACUUM CAN BECOME LOCKED DUE TO THE FREEZING OF CONDENSATION RESULTING FROM POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION¿. THE REMEDY IS ¿DEALERS WILL INSTALL A NEWLY DESIGNED INTAKE AIR CONNECTOR WHICH WILL RELOCATE THE BRAKE SYSTEM VACUUM PORT. IN SUMMARY, IT WOULD SEEM LOGICAL TO ME THAT TOYOTA WOULD FIX THIS ISSUE FOR ALL VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THE RECALL, NOT JUST BASED UPON LOCATION OF PURCHASE AND OR REGISTRATION. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COST SAVINGS MEASURE VERSUS ACTUALLY BEING CONCERNED ABOUT ITS CUSTOMER¿S SAFETY. WHAT CORRECTIVE ACTIONS CAN BE TAKEN? *TR

Make : TOYOTA Model : COROLLA Year : 2009 Manufacturer : TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION   Crash : No Fire : No Number of Injuries: 0 ODI ID Number : 10275334 Number of Deaths: 0 Date of Failure: June 1, 2009 VIN : JTDBL40E39J...   Component: STEERING Summary: THE NEW 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA HAS A STEERING PROBLEM. ON A HIGHWAY GOING FASTER THAN 60 MPH, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE WITHIN THE LANE. IF IT DEVIATES (WHICH IS NORMAL) AND A CORRECTION IS MADE, THE CAR OVER-REACTS AND THE VEHICLE VEERS TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LANE. ANOTHER CORRECTION PUTS THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE OTHER SIDE. SO THE VEHICLE MOVES SIDE TO SIDE. STRAIGHT LINE TRAVEL CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED ONLY WITH BOTH HAND FIRMLY ON THE WHEEL AND FIXING YOU EYES ON THE ROAD. THE DANGER IS WHEN YOU ARE DISTRACTED, SUCH AS LOOKING IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR, ADJUSTING THE REAR VIEW MIRROR, CHANGING A RADIO STATION, REACHING FOR SUN GLASSED, ETC. THEN THE CAR HEADS OUT OF THE LANE AS A RESULT OF A CONTINUED STEERING ADJUSTMENT. THE DEALERS AND MANUFACTURER CLAIM THAT THIS IS NORMAL BECAUSE OF THE NEW FEATURE, ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING. HOWEVER, THE 2010 COROLLA HAS ANOTHER STANDARD FEATURE (WHICH IS OPTIONAL FOR THE 2009): ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL. MY 2009 DOES NOT HAVE THIS FEATURE AND I WAS NEVER TOLD OF ITS POSSIBLE BENEFIT TO THE STEERING. *TR

THERE IS A STEERING PROBLEM WITH THE NEW ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM ON THEIR MODELS NOW. THE DRIVER HAS TO MAKE A CONSTANT ADJUSTMENT IN STEERING THE AUTO TO PREVENT IT FROM CONSTANTLY VEERING LEFT OR RIGHT AS YOU DRIVE ON CITY STREETS OR MAJOR HIGHWAYS. I MET WITH THE FACTORY REP FROM TOYOTA AND HE STATES THAT THIS PROBLEM IS CREATED BY THE NEW DESIGN OF THEIR STEERING SYSTEM WITH 0% VARIANCE FOR ERROR. A MASTER TOYOTA MECHANIC CHECKED OUT THE AUTO AND ATTEMPTED TO MAKE ADJUSTMENT TO CORRECT, A CASE HAS BEEN ASSIGNED BY THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATING THAT THE STEERING IS VERY OVERSENSATIVE. A CASE HAS ALSO BEEN FILED WITH TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE. MY PROBLEM STILL EXISTS I HAVE A NEW COROLLA S PARKED IN MY GARAGE WITH LESS THAN 400 MILES ON IT DUE TO THE SAFETY ISSUE OF DRIVING THIS AUTO. *TR

IT WANDERS LEFT AND RIGHT SO MUCH THAT I HAVE TO CONTROL THE STEERING WHEEL WITH GREAT EFFORTS, WHICH MAKES THE DRIVING SO TIRESOME. THIS PROBLEM IS ALSO REPORTED BY MANY OTHER 2009 COROLLA OWNERS. IT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY DEFECT. IT IS ABSOLUTELY DANGEROUS FOR THE DRIVER AND OTHER DRIVERS WHO ARE DRIVING NEAR THE COROLLA. TOYOTA SHOULD FIX THIS HORRIBLE PROBLEM TO SAVE THE DRIVERS IN NO TIME! *TR

WHEN DRIVING ON A PAVED HIGHWAY, INTERSTATE 95, THE CAR FEELS AS IF IT IS OUT OF ALIGNMENT, PULLING TO THE RIGHT. I'VE BROUGHT IT TO THE PURCHASING DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVEN'T FOUND ANYTHING. I FEEL AS IF THE CAR IS NOT SAFE, AS TO ALWAYS HAVING TO CORRECT THE STEERING ISSUE AND TO MAKE SURE THE CAR IS DRIVING STRAIGHT. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW MARCH 9, 2009 AND CURRENTLY HAS 6200 MILES ON IT. STEERING SEEMS TO BE PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. *TR

THIS HAS THE EFFECT OF MAKING THE CAR DIFFICULT TO KEEP CENTERED IN IT'S LANE. STATED ANOTHER WAY, THE CAR ALWAYS FEELS LIKE IT'S BEING DRIVEN IN HIGH WIND CONDITIONS. THUS FAR IT HAS NOT FELT DANGEROUS HOWEVER IT IS VERY FATIGUING ON HIGHWAY TRIPS. THE STEERING FEELS FINE DURING IN TOWN DRIVING (UP TO 50 MPH). HIGHER TIRE INFLATION PARADOXICALLY SEEMS TO SLIGHTLY IMPROVE THE CAR'S HIGHWAY STEERING BEHAVIOR. MY WIFE AND I NOW REMEMBER NOTICING THIS BEHAVIOR DURING THE TEST DRIVE; AT THAT TIME WE ASSUMED THAT IT WAS WINDY OUTSIDE. MOST OF THE DRIVING WE DO WITH THIS CAR IS IN TOWN. *TR
