2005 corolla, 60,000 miles:check engine light came on.car went into "safe" mode (idle speed) while doing 65mph.toyota replaced throttle body and the next day it did the same thing.toyota said the "new' throttle body they put in was defective.it's still at toyota waiting for another throttle body.this is a very dangerous situation.pulling out into traffic you do not know if it is going to go into safe mode or not, and of course, going down highway 50-70 mph there is a good chance of being rear-ended.this is not a safe situation.
Safety issue - vehicle was not equipped with a spare tire, jack and tire wrench. Run-flat tires were prematurely worn prior to 30k. Toyota dealers refuse to resolve tire issues and will not add spare tire and jack to vehicle. This is major highway safety issue!
The contact owns a 2007 toyota avalon. The contact stated that while attempting to change a flat tire, the factory jack did not raise the car high enough to install or remove the tire and failed. The factory jack was labeled as having a lifting capacity of 2,200 lbs however, the vehicle weighed approximately 4,000 pounds.the contact determined that situation to be a very serious safety issue. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer nor was the manufacturer made aware of the failure. The factory jack was not replaced. The failure and current mileage was 62,000.
Frame rotted,cracked can put finger through metal, dealer said they were shocked.
While test driving my 2006 ford escape hybrid at the bill walsh dealership in ottowa, il feb 2009, salesman [xxx]told me that the intermittent high pitched noise from the battery compartment was normal. When i took the car in for service nov. 2009 at the tom wood ford dealership in carmel, in, i was told that the sound was due to a failed battery door actuator. I was told that failure to replace this part could result in the battery overheating, and possible explosion of the hybrid battery. I paid to have the part replaced, and it broke again may 2010. After doing research, i have found that this is a common problem with the ford escape hybrid. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I have 2008 tundra that was recalled for 'acceleration problems' and ostensibly fixed, although i had never experienced "any" problems.now that is has "been fixed" i do have a problem.from a stand-still position, i will depress the accelerator and nothing happens.all of a sudden the accelerator will engage causing my truck to, all of a sudden, jump (accelerate).it doesn't happen all the time....but i'm afraid that it could happen at a stop light where i wish to begin forward - no results and then a possible surge where i could possible hit a vehicle in front of me.
Upon arrival at the local laundry mat i heard what almost sounded like a low caliber giun shor seconds later there was heavy brown smoke coming from the vehicle. Then seconds after that two foot flames consumed the front bumper. The fog light wiring harness melted and the heat was so intense it caused the bumper to catch fire. Called toyota and was hopeful they would take responsibility for their negligence. But after sending an over paid investigator who flat out lied about modifications done on the truck( wrong) toyota then trie to tell ne i was the second owner on the vehicle so that on top of phantom mods precludes toyota of any responsibility. Take responsibility toyota you've done nothing but lie about this incident that could have potentially been a death trap!*dt *as
My 2006 toyota corolla ce would not stop when i exited off i-5 at the 128th st exit near millcreek wa.the engine was racing and i floored the brake and threw the car into neutral to avoid a huge crash into the vehicles in front of me. I bought the car new in 2006 and the computer has had to have two replacements. The car would not run without warning and has had to be towed. I am fearful of my safety and that of my passengers in this vehicle and have had little explanation at the dealership except that this is 'rare'.the dealership told me to take the mats out of the driver's side of the car altogether, but i'm positive the failure to stop had nothing to do with stuck mats. This all seems connected to the problem i've had from the very beginning with the car's computer failures.
On 30 december 2010, i took my 2004 toyota avalon for service per a recall for a steering bracket replacement.i picked up the car on 03 january 2011 and drove it home.the next time it was driven was on january 10 and i noticed the steering was "sticking" so i notified the toyota service department.while driving to have the vehicle checked, the steering locked up and i nearly crashed before managing to stop.the car was towed in for service and i was told that there was a problem with the "steering rack".i have serious concerns that repairs to the steering due to a recall were performed and immediately following this problem occurred.
My camry has an oil consumption issue that is part of a recall that the dealership doesn't seem to want to remedy. I am currently dealing with a second test after trying to get their help with this problem. I have to regularly check and add oil for fear of ruining an engine with less than 60,000 miles on it. I can't sell this car in good conscious without having this problem resolved. I have never hadan issue such as this before so i don't know what my rights are when dealing with a toyota service department that doesn't want to pull the engine to make the needed seal repair to remedy this problem. A representative told me privately that i'm not the only one and a job they'd rather not do. So with this test their doing they said if ithe cars not using over a quart of oil it's normal engine engine consumption. I have owned over a dozen vehicles and the 63 ford galaxy was the only one that needed oil added regularly. So how does one go about getting this problem resolved?
I own a 2001 toyota highlander and have had the same exact problem happen to me several times in the past seven years. The first time i experienced a serious problem was about four years ago and my son and i could have been killed had it not been for some fast thinking on my part. I was trying to stop at a red light and my car accelerated for no reason. At first, i thought my brakes had failed since when i stomped on the brake, my car would not stop, even though i had both feet pressing down on it. At this point,with cars in front of me that i was going to hit, i swerved into the turn lane and then all i could see was an 18 wheeler coming at me.i was so lucky there were no cars on the side road that i turned onto and all the while i was steadily trying to get my vehicle under control.i ended up throwing it into park as i made the turn.it took turning my car off to bring it to a complete stop. At that time, i thought my floor mat had somehow gotten stuck on the accelerator, so i took all my front floor mats out. Unfortunately, i have had the same problem of the car "revving" for no reason while driving it several times and/or upon starting it.it would just idle high in the 6/8 rpm range.we just thought it was cold.however, one day i was driving the car and it kept shooting forward at every stop. I'd have to stomp on the brakes with both feet.i'd pull off, stop my car, turn it off, restart it, and the rpm's who shoot back up to 8.i kept praying that i wouldn't have to stop.it was the most frightening 15 mile rideback home that i ever took and seriously, i wanted to just leave the vehicle on the side of the road. I refused to drive it and i took it to my mechanic who changed an rpm sensor.this has not stopped the problem either. Periodically, my car's rpm's will shoot up to 4 or 6 while i am driving it or upon starting the car.

Floor jack, when changing a damaged mud flap from the the front driver's side of the truck, i placed the floor jack where the toyota manual recommends, after the whole (1/4in less than whole) extension of the jack was applied the tire was barely lifted above ground, this was done on my homes drive way a totally flat area with no inclination anyway and all proper security put in place and the floor jack was inclined... No accident occurred, but (big one but), imagine under adverse conditions and nothing else to do around to change a flat tire, wet or uneven ground, traffic, wind or anything else that can really create an accident, for this kind of truck the oem floor jack provided is not a proper one.

I got a toyota corolla '95. Everytime i release the gas pedal, it will make a jerk motion. The maintenance indicator light is on. I went to meineke this afternoon and paid 80 for the diagnostic check. Luckily, the service tech is honest and told me about the engine control module. I will call the rodland toyota here in everett wa where i also bought the car in 2005.
While pulling into a parking place, as i lifted my foot from the accelerator to begin braking, my 2007 toyota avalon, which had already had the recall fix performed last year, suddenly accelerated and leapt forward running into the building wall that was about 5 feet in front of the parking slot. The car came to an abrupt stop, at which time my foot was clearly on the brake. I just sat still for a few minutes, sort of in a slight shock of wondering "what the h... Just happened?" my left knee, elbow and right shoulder immediately became painful, but nothing seemed too bad so i put the car in reverse and backed away from the wall into the proper position in the parking slot. The car appeared to run okay, i ran through all the gears with no problems, checked the brakes, then turned off the engine and got out. I was expecting to find serious front end damage, but the only thing besides paint scratches was a bent license plate frame. I checked for leaks under the hood, and finding nothing appearing damaged there i drove slowly home,(about 5 miles). Twice i felt a slight shutter when moving my foot from accelerator to brake when preparing to stop. My husband took the car to the dealership the next day; he felt the same "shutter" on the way to the dealership(20 miles). The mechanic was unable to find anything wrong, any evidence of an incident in the sensors and i was told by the service dept. Asst. Manager that nothing could be done until it happens again. So, basically, toyota says i have to have a major accident before they can do anything about this.i am not apparently seriously injured at this time, but the past 3 days i've been very uncomfortable andi've gone through dangerous amounts of tylenol. We'll see what the next few days brings. I have a doctor's appointment next week for a regular checkup just in case.i do not want to drive this car again. My husband will probably be brave enough to do it, but i doubt that i will.
