2010 Toyota Corolla Electrical Problems

Your car may accelerate on its own without you pressing the gas pedal. This has been happening since you bought the vehicle. A mechanic should diagnose whether this is caused by a faulty throttle sensor, floor mat obstruction, or electronic control module issue.

Your car completely shut down while driving, which is dangerous. When this happened, your ABS and steering warning lights turned on, and you lost power to the locks, lights, and couldn't shift out of park or use any buttons—though the engine would still start. Your keypad also stopped working. Testing ruled out the battery and alternator, but you found the fuse box was burned up, which was causing the electrical failure.

You purchased a 2010 Toyota Corolla from a dealer that showed 160,080 miles at the time of sale. When you went to register the vehicle, you discovered the actual mileage was 320,197 miles — a significant discrepancy indicating the odometer may have been tampered with or rolled back. This is a case of potential odometer fraud that should be reported to your state's motor vehicle department and pursued with the dealer.

After the dealership serviced your power window master switch, the door panel wasn't reassembled properly and the switch assembly is now hanging loose inside the door. Your power door lock no longer works (requiring manual key entry), and the door panel cover broke and fell apart. The window controls still function, but the entire master switch assembly is unstable and dangling in the door.

CAR SUDDENLY ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON AT ONCE BRAKE LIGHTS,ABS LIGHTS,POWER STEERING LIGHTS,AND SPEEDOMETER. I'VE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY RIPPED ME OFF SAID THEY HAD NO CLUE WHAT WAS WRONG. *LN*JB

AIRBAGS ICON ON PASSENGERS SIDE APPEAR AS OFF AS WELL AS DRIVER SIDE ON PANEL APPEARS AS NOT WORKING, I HAVE TO SHUT OFF AND ON THE VEHICLE FOR IT TO GO AWAY OR RESET, FROM TIME TO TIME IT OCCURS - IT JUST STARTED HAPPENING ABOUT A MONTH OR SO AGO IT WAS WORKING FINE - NOW EVERY NOW AND THEN THE AIRBAGS MALFUNCTION AND APPEAR AS OFF ON THE PANELS AND VEHICLE HAS TO BE TURNED OFF AND ON FOR THE OFF BUTTON/ FUNCTION TO BE RESET. ALSO LOCK BUTTON ON DRIVER SIDE DOES NOT LOCK WITH THE REMOTE CONTROL ... IT HAS TO BE MANUALLY LOCKED FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE CLOSED AND ALARM TO BE ACTIVATED. *TR

DRIVER SIDE WINDOW SWITCH IS NOT WORKING GOOD. WHEN USING IT TO PULL DOWN DRIVER SIDE WINDOW IS BEING SCRATCHED UP DUE TO I THINK LACK OF LUBRICANT. WINDOW SWITCH WORKS BUT IS MAKING MARKS ON MY WINDO AND I AM SCARED IT WILL EVENTUALLY BREAK IT.

THIS RECALL HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF BUT IS NOT SHOWING ON THIS SITE.

MY CAR SUDDENLY TURN ON MOST OF THE DASH LIGHTS: BRAKE,ABS, POWER STEERING, AND THE SPEEDOMETER , TEMPERATURE GAUGE, REVOLUTION GAUGE AND AIR CONDITIONER STOP WORKING. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN ALL TIS PROBLEMS STATED START TO HAPPEN

SINCE OBTAINING THE VEHICLE IN 2009 BRAND NEW, UPON BREAKING GRADUALLY, IT SURGES FORWARD SLIGHTLY WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT SHOULD SLOW DOWN. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS ISSUE UP TO MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHO DENIED ANY SUCH INCONSISTENCIES. ALSO, THERE HAVE BEEN ELECTRICAL ISSUES FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS WHEN TURNING ON THE RADIO; AFTER PUSHING ANY BUTTON AT ANY TIME, IT WILL RANDOMLY CHANGE THE DISPLAY TO NONSENSE CHARACTERS OR BECOME BLANK.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE A RECALL ON 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA'S AIRBAGS

PLEASE NOTE: PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE. ENGINE LIGHT COME ON A LOT, BUT WHEN I HAD IT CHECKED, THEY COULD NOT FIND OUT WHY IT CONTINUE TO COME ON.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR YESTERDAY AND AS I WENT TO ACCELERATE THE CAR DIDN'T MOVE SO I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL AGAIN AND IT WENT REAL SLOW. THEN THE CAR JERKED AND BEGAN TO SMOKE REALLY BAD SO I PULLED OVER AND OPEN THE HOOD AND FLAMES BEGAN TO SHOOT OUT.

CAR WOULD START THEN DRIVING AT 10MPH THE CAR STALLS AND THE DASH LIGHTS ILLUMINATE THE DASHBOARD. PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART WITH NO PROBLEM BUT IF SOMEBODY WAS BEHIND ME IT WOULD'VE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. LAST WEEK CAR DID THE SAME THING EXCEPT I THE CAR WAS IN MOTION TOWARDS AN INTERSECTION FROM IDLE AND HAD TO QUICKLY PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART IT AND MOVE IT BEFORE I WOULD'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN A DEADLY ACCIDENT.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 16V340000 (AIR BAGS) AND 15V689000 (VISIBILITY). THE PARTS NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE AND PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT. UPDATED 04/12/17 LJ

TAKATA RECALL. GAS PEDAL BECOMES STUCK WITH FLOOR MAT WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION. WE HAVE HAD TO REMOVE FLOOR MAT FOR SAFETY. REMOVAL OF FLOOR MAT HAS CAUSED WEAR AND TEAR ON FLOOR BOARD COVERING.

NOTHING YET BUT THESE RECALLS, ONE FOR THE ELECTRIC WINDOW MASTER SWITCH, WELL OVER A YEAR OLD, AND THE OTHER FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, WHERE I'M CAUTIONED TO NOT HAVE PASSENGERS IN THAT FRONT SEAT, WHICH IS REALLY INCONVENIENT AND MEANS I DON'T HAVE FULL USE OF MY OWN AUTOMOBILE, HAS BEEN OUT LONG ENOUGH THAT A FIX IS LONG OVERDUE. WHY THE DELAY AND WHY DOES THE GOVERNMENT DO NOTHING FOR CONSUMERS WHO PAID FOR THESE CARS BUT WITH SOME NOT INSIGNIFICANT DEFECTS. I WOULD LIKE MY CAR FIXED, BOTH THE MASTER SWITCH FOR THE WINDOWS AND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG THAT COULD FAIL TO DEPLOY.

TAKATA RECALL FOR ALMOST EIGHT MONTHS MY CAR HORN HAS NOT BEEN WORKING. I CANNOT INSPECT IT WITHOUT THE CAR HORN WORKING! NO ONE WILL TOUCH IT! IT'S LIKE MY CAR HAS A DISEASE AND NO ONE WANTS TO BE CORRUPTED OR SOMETHING. I SAW ON A TV PROGRAM CALLED FRAUD SQUAD ABOUT HOW WHEN A AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED SOME COMPONENTS IN AND AROUND THE AIRBAG ARE AFFECTED TO THE POINT OF FAILURE. I'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR TWO YEARS AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING, THE INSPECTION/REGISTRATION STICKER CANNOT BE HAD! I FEEL VERY MUCH LET DOWN BY THE DEALERSHIP I ACQUIRED THIS CAR FROM. I GOT IT FROM FORT BEND TOYOTA IN ROSENBERG. IT'S GONNA TAKE ME MANY YEARS TO PAY THIS CAR PAID OFF AND ALREADY I MAY HAVE TO JURY RIG IT AND VOID EVERY WARRANTY EVER. MY WARRANTY WENT OUT, THEY ASKED ME TO RE-UP IT, I DIDN'T, AND BOOM, I'M SCREWED! WHERE CAN I GO TO GET HELP WITH THIS? I AM LUCKY I HAVE NOT BEEN TICKETED YET. UPDATED 01/25/2017*CT

RECALL ISSUED 9.2015 WAS INCOMPLETE....STILL WAITING ON A FIX. RECALL 15V689.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SRS WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIRING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V34000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE DRIVER DOOR CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE I WAS DRIVING.

TWO ISSUES: RADIO CONTROLS FAIL; USUALLY WHEN OUTSIDE TEMPS NEAR/ABOVE 100F. TOUCHING ANY CONTROL TURNS OFF RADIO, SPITS OUT CD. CAUSES ME TO FOCUS ON RADIO INSTEAD OF DRIVING. DEALER NO HELP. SEEN THE PROBLEM LISTED BY OTHERS ONLINE INC. YOUTUBE VIDEO OF THE RADIO ACTING UP. 2ND ISSUE: JUST HAD TO REPLACE WATER PUMP, APPROX. 150,000 MILES. APPEARS THERE WAS SOME SORT OF RECALL BUT I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY NOTICE. REPLACED 7/16/16

THE CAR BATTERY KEEPS DYING ON THIS VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH THE BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED AND CHECKED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE DEALER CLAIMS A GROUND CABLE ON THE UNDERSIDE IS CORRODED AND "FIXED" IT- BUT THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. MY GUESS IS THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT. IT'S SCARY TO DRIVE A CAR THAT MIGHT LEAVE YOU STRANDED EVERY TIME YOU TURN IT OFF. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR MASTER POWER SWITCH WAS LOOSENED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED ACCORDING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V689000 (VISIBILITY); HOWEVER, THE DEALER APPLIED A LUBRICANT WHICH FAILED TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. IN ADDITION TO THE RECALL REMEDY, THE MASTER POWER WINDOW SWITCH ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT ON NEED NEW ECU FOR AIRBAG.

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES, MY CAR WILL REV UP. ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M GOING DOWN HILL. ANOTHER CONCERN IS THAT MY CAR WILL MAKE A 2-3 SECOND RATTLING NOISE UPON STARTING UP. IT ONLY MAKES THIS NOISE ONCE IN A WHILE AND IT IS COMING FROM THE ENGINE. ANOTHER ISSUE I'M HAVING IS THE CAR'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TRACK LIGHT AND VSC OFF LIGHT COMING ON SIMULTANEOUSLY ON ANY RAINY DAY AND STAYING ON FOR SEVERAL DAYS AFTER IT HAS STOPPED RAINING. I AVOID DRIVING AT FAST SPEEDS WHEN ITS RAINY BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THE CAR IS VERY UNSTABLE. MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WONT OPEN OR CLOSE AND VERY COLD DAYS AND OTHER DAYS IT MAKES A WEIRD NOISE. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR USED AND IT HAS ABOUT 79K MILES ON IT.

HORN FAILED TO HONK WHEN NEEDED. IT DID NOT WORK WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY, IT DID NOT WORK ON A CITY STREET, IT DID NOT WORK PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE WIRE BECAME SEPARATED AND THERE WAS A VOID, THE WIRE COVER STAYED INTACT UNTIL I REMOVED THE CONNECTOR FROM THE HORN. I HAD TO CONNECT A NEW WIRE FROM THE EXISTING WIRE AND RECONNECT TO THE HORN. ALL IS FINE NOW.

THERE WAS A SUDDEN ACCELERATION IN MY TOYOTA COROLLA 2010 AND HIT A TREE,I WAS DRIVING 15 MILES PER HOUR AT THAT TIME. WHEN COMPLAINED TO TOYOTA THEY INVESTIGATED ABOUT 15 DAYS AGO BUT NO CONCLUSION WAS PROVIDED FROM TOYOTA. I WAS INJURED BUT RECOVERED ALREADY. PLEASE ASK THEM WHY THEY ARE NOT PROVIDING ANY CONCLUSION TO ME. .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND WITHOUT WARNING. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE HAD TO BE DEPRESSED IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO REMAIN STATIONARY IN PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 168,000.

I'M NOT 100% SURE IF THE MASTER SWITCH WINDOW IS PART OF THE RECALL BUT MY MASTER SWITCH WAS SMOKING AND I FELT LIKE IF I CONTINUED DRIVING EARLIER IT FELT LIKE MY CAR WAS ON FIRE. I COULD'VE LOST CONTROL BECAUSE MY SWITCH WAS LITERALLY SMOKING NON STOP. I WAS AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT WHEN IT HAPPENED, LUCKILY I WAS ON THE FIRST LINE, I ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE WINDOW SWITCH WITH MY ELBOW AND IT STARTED TO SMOKE. I WASN'T FEELING SAFE SO I CALLED MY INSURANCE AND I ASKED FOR A TOW TRUCK TO BRING MY CAR TO S NEAREST TOYOTA DEALER, I KEPT ASKING TOYOTA DEALER IF THIS WAS PART OF THE RECALL BUT THEY CANNOT ANSWER ME. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING TOYOTA BECAUSE OF THIS. I MIGHT SWITCH MY CAR WITH SOME OTHER BRANDS OF I KEEP GETTING THIS KIND OF INCIDENT.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW FAILED TO ROLL DOWN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR PANEL WAS HOT TO THE TOUCH. THE FAILURE RECURRED CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V491000 (VISIBILITY). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 42,000.

MY SON RECEIVED HIS CAR TODAY THAT WAS SHIPPED TO HIM FROM MAUI TO PORTSMOUTH,VA. AS HE WAS DRIVING BACK TO BASE HIS PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR FELL OFF. THE INSIDE WAS MELTED. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE MIRROR. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD. I CONTACTED TOYOTA VIA EMAIL ABOUT THE INCIDENT. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW AND HAS ONLY HAD ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. THERE IS EITHER A FAULTY CONNECTION OR FAULTY PART THAT CAUSED THIS. I NOW WORRY THAT THE CAR MAY CATCH FIRE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DECELERATED TO APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH. THE FAILURE CORRECTED INDEPENDENTLY AND THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT, THE VCS AND CHECK ENGINE SENSOR LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE CAR SEEMS TO INCREASE IN SPEED EVEN WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE DIGITAL DISPLAY RADIO SELDOM WORKS, THE ANTI SKID CONTROL DOES NOT ACTIVATE, THE LIGHTS, BOTH INSIDE AND OUT BLINK ON AND OFF, INCLUDING HEADLIGHTS AT NIGHT. THE AC AND HEATING UNIT CUTS ON AND OFF. IT SEEMS AS IF THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN THE CAR IS IN NEED OF REPAIR. *TR

2010 COROLLA MAIN BODY WIRING HARNESS CAUGHT ON FIRE. WHERE IT ENTERS CAR THROUGH FIREWALL. *TR

ABOUT A WEEK AGO MY PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WOULDN'T ROLL UP. TODAY, I STOPPED MY CAR AT A REST STOP AND MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR STARTED SMOKING. THE WAFTED UP THROUGH THE WINDOWS AND THE WINDOW CONTROLLED BUTTON. I HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF BECAUSE IT WAS GETTING OUT OF CONTROL. I TURNED THE CAR OFF. WAITED. TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE SMOKE CAME OUT INSTANTLY. TOYOTA HAS HAD A RECALL ON THEIR CAMRYS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. COROLLAS NEED TO BE ADDED TO THE LIST. I'M SUCK IN ANOTHER STATE WITH A CAR THAT CAN CATCH ON FIRE AT ANY MINUTE IT SEEMS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE EXPERIENCED DIFFICULTY REMOVING THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. SEVERAL ENGINE LIGHTS STARTED BLINKING. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, MY CAR WOULD ONLY MOVE VERY SLOWLY. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET THROUGH THE LIGHT WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND THEN COAST DOWNHILL TO A RESIDENTIAL AREA. I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF OF A 4-LANE DIVIDED HIGHWAY. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO MY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME THAT MY ENGINE CONTROL MODULE HAD SHORT-CIRCUITED AND REPLACED IT IN THE NEXT TWO DAYS, THE PART # BEING 8966102F54. THE CAR IS RUNNING FINE NOW. I'M SCARED THOUGH, THAT THIS MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN, OR THAT IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED AT HIGH SPEED, OR THAT MY TEENAGE DAUGHTERS WOULD HAVE PANICKED IN THE SITUATION AND MAY HAVE BEEN HIT WHILE GOING THROUGH THE GREEN LIGHT. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK WHEN SUDDENLY THICK SMOKE STARTED APPEARING FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE POWER WINDOW SWITCH. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND GOT OUT OF THE CAR. THE SMOKE HAD THE TYPICAL SMELL OF BURNING PLASTIC AND THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW SLOWLY OPENED ON ITS OWN. AFTER 5 MINUTES, THE SMOKE STOPPED AND I CONTINUED TO MY OFFICE AS IT WAS NEARBY. LATER IN THE EVENING, UPON REMOVING THE SWITCH, THE MELTED PLASTIC WAS CLEARLY VISIBLE. ONE OF THE SWITCHES ON THE PANEL DOES NOT DEPRESS ANYMORE DUE THE MELTING OF THE PLASTIC. THE SWITCH THAT DOES NOT DEPRESS IS FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW AND IT HAS BEEN OPEN SINCE FRIDAY JULY 19TH BECAUSE THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN FIXED YET. I AM AWARE OF A RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE HOWEVER, IT IS FOR COROLLA MODELS UP TO 2009 AND SINCE MINE IS A 2010 MODEL, TOYOTA REFUSES TO ADDRESS THIS SITUATION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, A BURNING ODOR AND SMOKE EMITTED FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR CONTROL SWITCH. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE DISCONNECTED THE SWITCH AS A TEMPORARY REMEDY TO PREVENT A POSSIBLE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE MASTER SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED TO COVER HALF OF THE REPAIR COSTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 31,800. *TR

FIRST, THE TRUNK STOPPED OPENING FROM THE INSIDE. ALSO, THE VSC OFF LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND TRACTION LIGHT ALL CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHY. THE GAS CAP WAS ON TIGHTLY, THE FUEL LEVELS WERE RIGHT, THERE WAS NO NEED FOR AN OIL CHANGE, AND THE CAR IS ONLY 2 1/2 YEARS OLD IN WHICH I DID NOT DO ANY WRECKLESS DRIVING. *TR

THIS VEHICLE USES A DRIVE BY WIRE (DWB) ACCELERATOR. WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE GAS THE CAR LURCHES FORWARD. THIS HAPPENED ON A RENTAL CAR IN 2010 AND STILL IS A PROBLEM ON THE USED TOYOTA I PURCHASED. WHEN I CONTACTED TOYOTA THEY STATED THERE WAS NO RECALL INFORMATION. THEY ASKED ME TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGONIZED AT MY EXPENSE, WHICH I REFUSED TO DO. THIS IS A PROBLEM AND BASED ON INFORMATION ON THE NET OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE OWNED MANY CARS AND NOT ONE HAS HAD SUCH A TOUCHY PEDAL. *TR

MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA CONTINUES TO HAVE ACCELERATION ISSUES. NOW IT ACCELERATES WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON TO SPEEDS OVER 100/110 MPH. I HAD TO DRIVE MY CAR FROM VERMONT TO CALIFORNIA, AND USED MY CRUISE CONTROL FOR THE FIRST TIME. THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 75 TO 80 MPH IN AREAS AND I SET THE CRUISE CONTROL TO 72. THE NEXT THING I NEW, THE CAR SUDDENLY LURCHED FORWARD ON ITS OWN & WENT COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL. IT WENT TO SPEEDS OF 100- 120 MPH WITHIN 1-2 MINUTES AND I COULD HARDLY CONTROL THE CAR. I HAVE BEEN IN 3-4 ACCELERATION INCIDENTS WITH THIS VEHICLE ALREADY AND BEEN INJURED (THE REPORTS I HAVE ALREADY FILED WITH YOUR AGENCY THIS PAST YEAR). THIS VEHICLE IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE. THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL OR ENGINE PROBLEM WITH THESE TOYOTAS, NO MATTER WHAT THE NHTSA, THE FEDS, OR TOYOTA STATES. IT IS NOT THE WAY AMERICANS ARE DRIVING ! DON'T INSULT OUR INTELLIGENCE. HOW MANY MORE INNOCENT VICTIMS HAVE TO GET HURT. ALL WE ARE ASKING IS FOR TOYOTA TO TAKE THESE CARS BACK AND REPLACE THEM WITH A SAFE CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT IS WHAT IS FAIR TO THE CONSUMER. THAT IS WHAT THE LEMON LAW IS FOR. YET WHY DOES NO ONE LISTEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *TR

I HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA WITH 1,900 MILES ON IT, I PURCHASED THE VEH IN THE MIDDLE OF NOVEMBER. AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE I BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT MY RIGHT ARM WOULD COLLECT STATIC ELECTRICITY WHEN I WOULD PLACE IT ON TOP OF THE CENTER ARM REST/CONSOLE. AT FIRST I WOULD ONLY GET THE STATIC SPARK WHEN I TOUCHED THE METAL FRAME OF MY DOOR, THEN WHEN I ENTERED THE VEHICLE I WOULD ONCE AGAIN COLLECT THE STATIC ELECTRICITY ON MY RIGHT ARM FROM THE CENTER ARM REST/CONSOLE. I BEGAN TO JUST NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THE STATIC BUILD UP I WOULD GET UNTIL YESTERDAY DECEMBER 29, 2010. I EXCITED MY VEHICLE AND PROCEEDED TO OPEN MY GAS COMPARTMENT DOOR, AS I TOUCHED THE COMPARTMENT DOOR, I RECEIVED THE STATIC SPARK. NOW I AM BECOMING CONCERN BECAUSE IT HAPPEN WHEN I TOUCHED THE COMPARTMENT DOOR HAD IT HAPPENED A FEW SECONDS LATER I COULD HAVE BEEN PUMPING GAS. I DROVE TO THE TOYOTA DEALER NEAR MY HOME AND WAS ASKED TO SIT IN ANOTHER 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA AND I ALSO BUILD UP STATIC ELECTRICITY, THEN THEY HAD ME SIT IN A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY AND NOTHING HAPPENED. CLEARLY THE TYPE OF MATERIAL USED ON THE CENTER ARM REST/CONSOLE IS CAUSING THIS STATIC BUILD UP ON MY ARM. THE MATERIAL USED IN THE CAMRY IS NOT CAUSING THIS. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW OF ANY STATIC COMPLAINTS. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SOMEONE INVESTIGATE THIS, IT ISN'T SAFE TO GO PUMP GAS WHILE HAVING STATIC ELECTRICITY. I CAN SHOW ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT HOW THE HAIRS ON MY ARM STAND UP ONCE I TOUCH THE CENTER ARM REST/CONSOLE. *TR

MY 07 TOYOTA COROLLA S STARTED STALLING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR STARTED AND WAS FINE. THE NEXT DAY THE SAME THING HAPPENED. WHEN I WENT TO START THE CAR AGAIN STALLED. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY FIT ME RIGHT IN EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE BUSY, WHICH I APPRECIATED VERY MUCH. THIS ALL HAPPENED AT APPROXIMATELY 62,000 MILES. LUCKILY THE CAR WAS STILL COVERED UNDER 8 YR/80000 MILES WARRANTY. *TR

OUR 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) FREQUENTLY HESITATES AS IF ACCELERATION HAS CEASED AND THEN REACCELERATES AFTER IT APPEARS TO SWITCH GEARS. HAPPENS AT HIGHWAY AND FREEWAY SPEEDS, SEEMS TO INCREASE WITH USE OF A/C. AFTER TEST DRIVE, TOYOTA MECHANIC EXPLAINED THIS IS NORMAL AND DUE TO ELECTRICAL PARTS THAT HAVE REPLACED MECHANICAL PARTS. HE SAID CAR IS THINKING WHEN IT SWITCHES GEARS AND APPARENTLY STOPS ITS OTHER FUNCTION (I.E., MAINTAINING A STEADY SPEED) FOR A "NANOSECOND." THIS HAPPENS EVERY BLOCK OR SO IN HIGHWAY DRIVING, AND ALTHOUGH THE SPEED DOESN'T CHANGE, THE IMPULSE CHANGES ARE PHYSICALLY PERCEPTIBLE (WE CAN FEEL IT IN THE SEAT AND STEERING WHEEL, AS IF THE CAR IS JERKING). THE MECHANIC SAID THIS IS NORMAL IN NEWER CARS AS MOST HAVE GONE TO THE NEW TECHNOLOGY. THE MECHANIC'S EXPLANATION IS LOGICAL, BUT TOYOTA'S ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AS NORMAL IN NEWER MODELS OF CARS IS DISTURBING. WE DO NOT EXPERIENCE THIS IN OUR 2010 FORD FUSION. PLEASE NOTE: SEVERAL REQUIRED FIELDS ON FORM WERE NOT APPLICABLE, SUCH AS MILEAGE AT WHICH WE EXPERIENCED FAILURE, DATE OF INCIDENT, ETC. WE JUST RELATED MOST RECENT INFO IN THESE FIELDS. *TR

STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA SHOT UP TO 6,000 RPM/100MPH. WE WERE ABLE TO PUT IT IN PARK AND SHUT CAR OFF BEFORE IT LURCHED FORWARD INTO THE CAR AHEAD. TOYOTA HAS HAD THE CAR SINCE MONDAY AND IS TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE COMPUTER. A REPORT WAS FILED WITH CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER AND A CASE NUMBER HAS BEEN ASSIGNED TO THE INCIDENT. *TR

I HAVE 2010 COROLLO SPORT IF I AM DRIVING ON 45 MILE/HOUR AND HIT THE BRAKE THEN REMOVE MY LEG FROM THE BRAKE. THE CAR MAINTAIN SPEED OF 20-25 MILE/H FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES. I TOOK TO THE DEALER THEY TEST IT AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT THIS HAPPENS. AND THEY TOLD ME THIS IS A NORMAL BEHAVIOR, AND I KNOW IT IS NOT

MY 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA HAD A FAILED ECM WHICH CAUSED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME AND STALL THE ENGINE. IN ADDITION, MY VEHICLE HAD HIGH RPM AND SHIFTING GEAR PROBLEMS AS WELL. THE FAILED ECM ISSUE WAS DISCOVERED BY A SPECIFIC CODE FOR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY WERE CERTAINLY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM HOWEVER TOLD ME THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS TO RECALL THE ISSUE. I CALLED TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY INFORMED SINCE MY MILEAGE WAS 95,000 AND THE WARRANTY WOULD ONLY COVER UP TO 80,000 MILES. I ENDED UP GETTING THE ECM REPLACED FOR ABOUT $800 AT CARMAX WHICH WAS $700 CHEAPER THAN WHAT TOYOTA WANTED TO CHARGE. I CALLED TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS AGAIN TO COMPLAIN AND WAS LEFT WITH NO RESOLUTION. AFTER MY RESEARCH ONLINE, THIS WAS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM TO TOYOTA HOWEVER THEY FAILED TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. THIS ISSUE OCCURRED TO MANY VEHICLES AS LOW AS 35000 MILES UNDER WARRANTY AND STILL CONTINUE TO OCCUR OUT OF WARRANTY OVER 80000 MILES. I FEEL IF THEY HAD A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE, I WOULD HAVE NEVER HAD THESE ISSUES WITH MY CAR BEING STALLED AND HAVING TO REPLACE THE ECM. I RECENTLY READ AN ARTICLE IN NEWS ABOUT YOUR INVOLVEMENT IN REGARDS TO INVESTIGATION OF THIS ISSUE AND HOPE TOYOTA CAN RECOGNIZE TO ACCEPT THIS FAILED RECALL. I HAVE ALSO FOUND MANY OTHER TOYOTA CUSTOMERS WHO ARE ALL OVER THE INTERNET SHARING SIMILAR FEEDBACK. HTTP://WWW.TOYOTANATION.COM/FORUM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=201631 I AM HOPING THAT YOUR TEAM CAN HOLD TOYOTA ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS POOR DECISION OF NOT TO RECALL THIS ISSUE. PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR ANY FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS IN REGARDS TO THIS ISSUE AT [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAVE LEASED A 2010 COROLLA IN JULY 2010 IT NOW HAS APPROX. 4200 MILES ON IT I CONTINUE TO HAVE UNEXPLAINED WHAT APPEARS TO BE ELECTRONIC OR COMPUTER SOFTWARE PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. ONE INSTANCE WAS I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE, BUT THE CAR DID NOT MOVE, BUT THE ENGINE REVVED WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL. I THEN PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND BACK INTO DRIVE AND THE CAR FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. I THEN DROVE APPROX 6 MILES ROUND TRIP AND RETURNED HOME, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, AND MY HANDS WERE TOUCHING NOTHING I WAS READING SOMETHING THAT I HAD IN MY HAND AND THE HIGH BEAMS POPPED ON THE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH, IT WAS FAIRLY LIGHT OUT SO I DON'T IMAGINE THAT IS A FEATURE, IT WAS A BIT OVERCAST AND CLOUDY. THE ODOMETER AT SOME POINT CHANGED FROM DISPLAYING MILES WITH 10THS AND ONLY DISPLAYS FULL NUMBER MILES, I THINK IT WAS AFTER I ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE ALARM BUTTON ON THE REMOTE KEY THAT IT CHANGED BUT I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE. I ALSO BELIEVE THE CAR'S COMPUTER WAS NOT PROPERLY SET UPON DELIVERY, OR THEY PUT IN A SOFTWARE UPGRADE WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE INVOICE SHOWS THEY DID A COMPUTER RESET. THE RECALL FIX HAS ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED ON THIS VEHICLE, AND I AM NOW UNABLE TO GET A RESPONSE FROM TOYOTA, I HAVE BEEN WAITING 3 DAYS SINCE I REPORTED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE, AND TODAY I CAN NOT GET THROUGH TO TOYOTA OR THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO HIGH CALL VOLUME. *TR
