“In my 2010 Toyota Corolla xle with 2382 miles on it, I experienced brake failure and difficulty steering while descending down a slight grade. There was no braking action when I pushed the brake pedal as far as it could go. Simultaneously heard a loud scraping sound and detected an odor. Reported incident to the dealer immediately.”
NHTSA complaint #10317495, filed 2010-03, 2,382 miles“Toyota recall,how can you expect us to bring our vehicle in for this recall to put on precision-cut steel reinforcement bar on accelerator when ceo of Toyota can't guarantee the problem will not be solved? This was stated on nation wide tv. This car was purchased for my college student daughter and I will not let her drive it as I do not feel she will be safe. What are my options?”
NHTSA complaint #10316354, filed 2010-03, 7,000 miles“Purchased a new 2010 Corolla. Driving home from work last week, I had two service lights on (my car has 1400 miles on it). The steering in the car seemed loose as I drove home, but when I went to turn on my street, the steering wheel did not turn and the ABS failed. I hit a curb on the opposite side of the road damaging a strut and an alloy wheel. My local dealer, lakeland Toyota, told me it was not their problem but that I needed to figure out how to pay for the repairs. They told me that they had no idea why those two warning lights were on. …”
NHTSA complaint #10332120, filed 2010-05, 1,400 miles“I was making a routine turn and lost control of steering. It only happened the one time, police report said car rolled two or three times, total loss to car and injury to driver. I don't remember exactly the cause other than I lost control. Can't say any of the recalls did or did not cause the accident. My primary complaint is that I paid for front and side airbags, and none deployed on a car that rolled two or three times. Why am I paying for equipment that is not effective? If a car rolls over at minimum the side airbags should have deployed. …”
NHTSA complaint #10308630, filed 2010-02, 6,865 miles“2010 Toyota Corolla loose driver's side floormat between lodged between brake pedal and accelerator causes car to accelerate while trying to stop. Already caused two rear-end collisions. Factory-provided floor mat and holddown clips were never installed by the factory or the dealer. We were unsuccessful in getting any help from Toyota sales, USA, or rice Toyota, local dealer.”
