ON DECEMBER 24TH 2014 I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE (2014 TOYOTA COROLLA S) IN (D) AND WAS TRYING TO SLOW DOWN, BECAUSE THE DRIVER IN FRONT OF ME BRAKE. WHEN I DEPRESSED MY BRAKE PEDAL THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED. I SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND CONTINUED TO BRAKE AND IT EVENTUALLY SLOWED ME DOWN. I SHIFTED BACK INTO (D) AND CONTINUED ON MY WAY, ALTHOUGH SHAKEN UP. THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE GOOD, THERE WAS NO RAIN OR ICE ON THE ROAD THAT DAY. I CHECKED MY FLOOR MATS TO SEE IF THEY WERE STICKING TO THE ACCELERATION PEDAL WHEN I GOT INTO THE DRIVEWAY, BUT I DID NOT NOTICE ANY SUCH DEFECT WITH THE FLOOR MATS STICKING TO THE PEDAL. A FEW WEEKS LATER DRIVING TO WORK ON 01/20/2015 AROUND THE SAME SPEED ON THE SAME ROAD CONDITIONS THE VEHICLE GAVE ME UNWANTED ACCELERATION AGAIN WHILE ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE. I PERFORMED THE SAME WAY I HAD PREVIOUSLY, I ENTERED INTO NEUTRAL AND BRAKED, EXCEPT THIS TIME I CAME WITHIN INCHES OF THE VEHICLE FORWARD OF ME. THE NEXT DAY ON 01/21/2015 WHILE DRIVING TO WORK THE VEHICLE AGAIN PERFORMED THE EXACT SAME MALFUNCTION AS THE PREVIOUS DAY. ON ALL DAYS THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE FINE AND SHOULD HAVE NOT AFFECTED THE VEHICLES PERFORMANCE. I DECIDED TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD LEASED THE VEHICLE. I SET UP AN APPOINTMENT AND HAD LEFT IT THERE 01/24/2015-01/26/2015. I RECEIVED THE VEHICLE BACK ON 01/26/2015 AND THE MASTER MECHANIC FOUND NO DEFECTS. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER WOULD CONTACT ME. AFTER HE HAD NOT FOR A FEW DAYS, I DECIDED TO CALL HIM. I HAD GOTTEN HIS VOICEMAIL AND LEFT A MESSAGE. TO DATE I HAVE STILL NOT RECEIVED A CALL BACK FROM THE SERVICE MANAGER. I HAVE DECIDED TO TAKE PRECAUTIONS AND BEGIN A VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLAINT. I WOULD LIKE THIS MATTER RESOLVED BEFORE MYSELF OR ANYONE ELSE BECOMES INJURED OR WORSE. *TR

WHEN DRIVING THE TOYOTA COROLLA S 2015 AT NIGHT AND ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING DOWNHILL, HALF OF THE WINDSHIELD IS DARK HORIZONTALLY FROM THE MIDDLE UP.

MY DAUGHTER WAS ATTEMPTING TO PARK IN HER COLLEGE PARKING LOT AT FGCU. SHE SAID , THINKS THE BRAKE DIDN'T WORK WHEN SHE APPLIED IT. CAR HIT CONCRETE WALL TO STOP. AAA TOW TRUCK DRIVER CAME AND SAID BRAKES WENT TO FLOOR AND HE HAD TO USE E-BRAKE TO PUT ON TRUCK. HE STATES WHEN HE GOT BACK TO GARAGE BRAKES WORKED. I TOLD TOYOTA. THEY CHECKED BRAKES OUT AND SAID EVERYTHING WAS WORKING FINE. I ASKED THEM TO LOOK AT BLACK BOX. THEY SENT ME RESULTS. I HAD MY INSURANCE CO. LOOK AT THEM ALONG WITH TOYOTA SERVICE ADVISER. BOTH SAID DATA SHOWS GAS APPLIED BEFORE BRAKE. I LOOKED UNDER CAR COMPLAINTS. OTHER PEOPLE HAD SAME PROBLEM. SOME HAD AUTOMATIC ACCELERATION. I DID NOT TELL THEM TO CHECK THAT OUT BECAUSE OF STATEMENT FROM TOW TRUCK GUY. SHE SAID IT HAPPENED SO FAST SHE DOESN'T REMEMBER. THE TIN WHISKERING WAS A PROBLEM FOR TOYOTA IN THE PAST. I BELIEVE THAT THEY HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. CAN THE DATA SHOW IF GAS APPLIED BY DRIVER OR AUTOMATICALLY CAME ON? I HAVE SPOKEN TO ATTORNEYS AND NO ONE SEEMS TO WANT TO TAKE THIS CASE. MY DAUGHTER HAS BACK PAIN AND OTHER ISSUES. AS A PARENT I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO. CAR HAS BEEN REPAIRED. IT IS A LEASE. ( NINE MONTHS LEFT TO PAY.) I WOULD LIKE TO GET HER OUT OF THIS CAR AND GET A NEW ONE. ANY SUGGESTIONS? THANK YOU MIKE.

THE SEATBELTS LOCK UP AS SOON AS YOU TRY TO BUCKLE THEM. NEVER RELEASING. VERY DANGEROUS! ESPECIALLY FOR CHILDREN. THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAY WHETHER ONE-4- OR 5 OCCUPY THE SEATS. THE FLOORING ESPECIALLY ON THE DRIVERS SIDE IS RUINED. IT IS BECOMING A HUGE HOLE. VERY CHEAPLY MADE CARPETING. SEATS ARE HORRIBLY UNCOMFORTABLE. NEVER A RELIEF OF PAIN IN ANY. I AND MY FAMILY ALL ARE DISABLED. WITH BACK AND HIP DAMAGE. STEERING DOES AS IT CHOOSES RATHER THAN GOING IN THE DIRECTION YOU DRIVE IT. IT SWAYS CONSTANTLY. FINALLY. THERE IS NO WAY TO MAKE IT COMFORTABLE WITH THE AC OR HEATER ON WITHOUT A CONTESTANT BATTLE. IT IS CLAUSTROPHOBIC IN ANY SEAT. WHEN THE CAR WAS SOLD TO ME. I WAS DECEIVED AND LIED TO. I FOUND A CHUNK BEHIND THE HUB CAP ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO MISSING OUT OF THE WHEEL WELL. I HAVE HAD TO REFILL THE TIRES NUMEROUS TIMES. THIS CAR CAN BE PARKED, DRIVING, SITTING AT A LIGHT, DOESN'T MATTER. IT IS OFFENSIVE AND I WAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF. ESPECIALLY BY ONLY BEING GIVEN $750 FOR MY PONTIAC GRAND PRIX THAT STILL HAD A WONDERFUL MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION. I WAS TOLD BECAUSE IT HAD OVERHEATED SO BAD I HAD TO BUY A NEW CAR. I SIMPLY NO LONGER TRUST ENTERPRISE, AND I AM TERRIFIED BEHIND THE WHEEL WITH THESE SEAT BELTS. IT IS 5 OF A FAMILY OF 5 HAVING THESE ISSUES NOT JUST ME. PLEASE ADVISE.

I OWN A 2015 TOYOTA COROLLA S PREMIUM. IT HAS THE RADIO SYSTEM WITH BLUE TOOTH AND GPS. THE PROBLEM IS THAT WHILE I AM LISTENING TO THE RADIO AND THE GPS COMES ON GIVING DIRECTIONS, THE RADIO DOES NOT FADE SO THE RADIO AND THE GPS ARE TALKING OVER EACH OTHER AND I CAN'T UNDERSTAND THE GPS. BECAUSE OF THE CONFUSION OF BOTH VOICES I HAVE MADE THE WRONG TURN WHICH HAS ALMOST LED TO ACCIDENTS. 1-800 TOYOTA CLAIMS THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM BUT, EVEN MY DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT AGREES THERE IS. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS BUT, NOTHING IS REALLY BEING DONE.

TOYOTA HAS A CURRENT RECALL FOR FUEL PUMP FAILURES BUT DOES NOT INCLUDE MY MODEL AND YEAR. THERE ARE OTHER TOYOTA VEHICLES INCLUDED FROM 2015 AND COROLLAS INCLUDED BUT NOT 2015. HOWEVER ON 12/27/2019 MY FUEL PUMP FAILED WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE. THE CAR WOULDN'T START. ON 12/28/2019 MY FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED FOR $1,680.26. I AM HOPING THAT WITH YOUR INTERVENTION, MY VEHICLE COULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL SO I CAN BE REIMBURSED THE $1,680.26. BEING DISABLED AND ON SOCIAL SECURITY, THE $1,680.26 IS A SIGNIFICANT EXPENSE THAT I WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED. THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND TOYOTA CORPORATE HAVE DENIED MY REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. I HOPE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ARE STAYING WELL DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME. *TR

MY DAUGHTER WAS ON A 2 LANE STRETCH OF I-15 HIGHWAY SOUTHBOUND, APPROX 7 MILES NORTH OF LASVEGAS NV. SHE WAS IN THE LEFT LANE SLOWLY CREEPING BY A 18 WHEEL RIG W/TRAILER. SHE WAS DOING 74 WITH CRUISE CONTROL AND WITNESSES SAY THE RIG MUST HAVE BEEN DOING 73MPH. HE VIOLENTLY TURNED INTO HER LANE CAUSING HER TO DO EVASIVE MANEUVER LEFT AND BRAKE HARD SKIDDING INTO THE SOFT SHOULDER THEN SPINNING CLOCKWISE CROSSING TO THE RIGHT SIDE HITTING A SMALL SHOULDER ELEVATION CHANGE WITH BOTH DRIVERS SIDE WHEELS, CAUSING A DOUBLE ROLL OVER AND A CARTWHEEL LANDING ON THE TRUNK, THEN COMING TO A REST ON THE ROOF. NOT A SINGLE AIR BAG DEPLOYED! SHE SUFFERED MULTIPLE BLUNT HITS TO THE HEAD FROM HITTING AGAINST THE DOOR, SHE HAS A CONCUSSION WITH SPRAINED SHOULDER AND ANKLES. GRANTED SHE SHOULD BE IN MUCH WORSE CONDITION BUT WE ARE GRATEFUL SHE HAD HER BLANKETS AND HER DOGS BEDS THAT FLEW FROM THE BACK SEAT TO THE FRONT HELPING TO KEEP HER PADDED FROM EVEN MORE TRAUMA. I FEEL THAT A SIDE CURTAIN AND STEERING BAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. IS THIS A FLUKE THAT TOYOTA ENGINEERS MISSED? BECAUSE NO PARTICULAR CORNER WAS IMPACTED? THE ROLLOVER IMPACTS WERE AT THE WHEELS, JUST ABOVE BOTH BUMPERS AND THE ENTIRE ROOF AREA.

IN ADDITION, THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THERE WAS THREAD SEPARATION ON ALL TIRES AND THAT THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE ROTORS WERE REPLACED, BUT THE TIRES WERE NOT. THE TIRE AND VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE TIRE AND VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,000.

THE HEATING ELEMENT ON THE HEATED SEATS HAS CAUSE THE SEAT TO TEAR, AS A RESULT I AM UNABLE TO USE THE HEATED SEAT. I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TOYOTA BUT HAVE REFUSED TO REPLACE THE SEAT. I BELIEVE THIS COULD BE AN ISSUE WITH ALL TOYOTA COROLLA WITH THE S PREMIUM PACKAGE.

TOYOTA HAS A CURRENT RECALL FOR FUEL PUMP FAILURES BUT DOES NOT INCLUDE MY MODEL AND YEAR. THERE ARE OTHER TOYOTA VEHICLES INCLUDED FROM 2015 AND COROLLAS INCLUDED BUT NOT 2015. HOWEVER ON 12/27/2019 MY FUEL PUMP FAILED WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE. THE CAR WOULDN'T START. ON 12/28/2019 MY FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED FOR $1,680.26. I AM HOPING THAT WITH YOUR INTERVENTION, MY VEHICLE COULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL SO I CAN BE REIMBURSED THE $1,680.26. BEING DISABLED AND ON SOCIAL SECURITY, THE $1,680.26 IS A SIGNIFICANT EXPENSE THAT I WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED. THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND TOYOTA CORPORATE HAVE DENIED MY REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. I HOPE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ARE STAYING WELL DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME. *TR

We had four brand new Goodyear Assurance All-Season tires installed by our regular mechanics (Harper's Farm BP, Columbia, Maryland) on August 23, 2021. The very next day our son was driving on I-83 near Harrisburg, PA en route to Ithaca, NY when the rear driver's-side tire completely failed. The tread separated from the sidewalls and was left on the highway somewhere. (See uploaded photos.) Fortunately, he kept control of the car, but there was something wrong with this tire. I do not expect a one-day old tire to fail so completely in this way. Maybe he hit a nail on the highway and lost some air pressure, but I would expect him to have a flat tire, not an exploded tire. We had the tire replaced at Derry Auto & Tire in Harrisburg, PA the next day. I have attached receipts from both repair shops to document the dates.
