Takata recall:as the owner of a vehicle affected by this current and serious recall, i have to describe how disappointing it has been to barely hear anything from toyota to keep owners informed. I've probably received only 2, at most 3, letters of info in the last almost 10 months. I've had to drive my vehicle around for almost a year now, almost 12 months, with no rememdy still to replace this hazardous equipment.

Takata recalli was notified of this recall last may.as of today, toyota still does not have replacement parts to fix this problem.it is a significant inconvenience to not be able to have passengers in the front seat.this is an unacceptable delay.

My driver's side airbag light illuminated roughly 5 or 6 weeks ago.i called the toyota dealership in which i purchased the car from back in 2011 and made an appointment to bring the car in to be looked at.when i arrived, i was basically told there was absolutely nothing they could do until the remedy for the recalled airbag became available.i then asked how long it would be, and was told it could be several more months. I have been driving my corolla for several weeks now, since it is my only mode of transportation with a defective driver's side airbag.i have not received any more correspondence from toyota since the first recall letter was mailed back in april of 2014.i am concerned with the danger that this problem poses and i do not see why toyota cannot fix this problem being that the light is on.in the recall letter from toyota it specifically states to contact the manufacturer immediately if the light becomes illuminated because it could pose a danger.i am afraid to drive the car as well as put my teenage daughter behind the wheel because of the fear of having a traffic accident and the airbag not deploying properly.thank you for any assistance you may have.

I need a remedy for the recall on the airbags. I have tried to be patient about the temporary solution of "just don't have anyone ride in the passenger seat" but to have waiting 5 months and still have no solution is outrageous.

Do not let anyone ride in that seat until repairs have been made.this is very difficult since i travel with friends and have to ask grown adults to ride in the back seat to be safe. How long is making a "fix" for this airbag going to take?? i know takata is being sued and other legal actions are being taken against them. I as an owner of this car since 2010 am angry. Please let owners know that something is at least in the works or should i sell a defective car???

I am writing to see if my car's make/model/year should be included in the recent recall of 2003-2004 toyota and lexus cars, relating to inadvertent airbag deployment.

My wife rear ended a taxi, she complained that the brakes did not stop the car. We had the car towed to the house, i freed the hood and removed the bumper cover to inspect the damage. When i got in and tried the brakes, the pedal went to the floor. When i opened the brake fluid reservoir to check the fluid, the brakes returned to normal. That indicates a vacuum to me, which is not normal.i would like to request analysis of the event data recorder.

Takata recall- it is unacceptable that i have not been able to get my airbag replaced in the 9 months since my vehicle was included in this recall. I have avoided having any passengers in my car, basically only risking my own safety rather than my loved ones. I should be able to drive the car i spent a lot of money on without worrying about my safety! i thought i was included in the "top priority" set of vehicles to be fixed, but i am still being told there is no remedy available. What is the process to get this fixed asap. I want to be able to safely drive the car i paid good money for.

Takata recall - i received the recall notice from toyota and i made an appointment with fort bend toyota to do the safety recall. However, when i arrived at the dealership this morning, the dealership refused to perform the recall claiming that they don't do recall on saturdays (even i had an appointment). When i confronted the assistant service manager, omar adam, with the fact that i received the safety recall notice and i had an appointment, he then tried to give out excuses such as they don't currently have parts and it's the fault of their call center (who messed up the appointments). I am deeply concern as it's an important safety recall involving lives of myself and my love ones, but toyota shows no concern of our safety at all. As of now, they still claim that they are out of the parts and do not have a date for me to do the safety recall.

Takata recall - it has been over 5 months since the recall. My honda civic (yr 2010) has already had the air bag replaced last month.it is ridiculous that i have to drive my toyota with no one in the passenger seat. When we go out with another couple, we have to always take their car. I call the toyota dealer and their corporation offices and they offer no information at all - unless you consider them saying they don't know how much longer it will take as information. This is so infuriating!!

I received a recall notice months/years ago about the death hazard with these airbags and now i am seeing all over the news that this should have been handled a long time ago and it is recommended that i get it fixed asap, but toyota says they don't have a fix for it yet. Unacceptable!

Ummary:the subject vehicles are equipped with front passenger airbag inflators produced by takata. According to takata, the propellant in these inflators may degrade after prolonged exposure to high absolute humidity and fluctuating high temperatures. Degraded propellant can cause inflator rupture during airbag deployment.safety risk:in the event of an inflator rupture, metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material, striking the vehicle occupants, and result in serious injury or death.remedy:toyota is currently preparing the remedy for this condition and will provide additional information as it becomes available. The remedy, when available, will consist of the replacement of the airbag inflator or the airbag assembly, depending on the vehicle model.recall status: recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available

Takata airbag recall.

How can you get the recall done if there is no solution available ?

Takata recall.in january 2017 toyota sent a recall notice. Later they sent a letter stating that a remedy wasn't available yet and not to let anyone sit in the passenger seat. It is now the end of october 2017 and they haven't come up with a remedy yet. It is unreasonable to have this go on so long without fixing it and telling me not to let anyone sit in the passenger seat.

Takata recall.this recall has still not been remedied, and i need to be able to use my front passenger seat again.it is now 5/8/17.january 9 was the date of the recall.

Takata airbags-this is third time that i am filling this out. This website is difficult and i could not check all the boxes that i needed. This car had so many problems. It is the worst car that i have even owned. All of the paint was peeling off. I had to have the engine rebuilt. The lights kept blowing out. I had an accident and i hit the steering with my face. The airbag never deployed. I knocked myself out. I had facial contusion and almost knocked my teeth out.

Takata recallthank god nothing has occurred yet, i am just registering a complaint because takata has not produced enough airbag replacement parts to fix this dangerous recall item.

Takata recalli have been fortunate enough not to have an actual "incident", but i am still going to file the complaint on the length of time this recall on the airbag is taking to resolve. I cannot have a passenger due to this and it is extremely inconvenient. I am a single mother and need my vehicle to be in top shape for me and my child. No remedy for 10 months is ridiculous.

The recall notice i received states that the airbag may cause metal fragments to fliy out striking vehicle occupants and result in serious injury or death.o.k. - toyota needs to provide replacement/loaner vehicles immediately to everybody.now.

Takata recall has still not been remedied on my vehicle. I received the recall notice in the mail, attempted to contact my local dealer for repair but was told my vin# was not yet "up" for repair. I followed up with the toyota care# and received a case#. After being told falsely by the service manager that my vin# would be up within the next month, i have been left to drive my car "as is" for the last 6+ months waiting for their call. It is a great inconvenience as i am not allowed to have a passenger in my front seat. I need an advocate to help rectify this situation.

"takata recall" i contacted to certified dealership in my area, but they refused to schedule a free repair because the remedy is not available since january 2017. No incidents occurred yet, but i am concerned about the timing of this remedy because takata has filed chapter 11. Thank you for consideration.

Takata recallit is unacceptable that there is currently no reasonable time frame for the takata recall to be remedied. It is unreasonable to expect no person to occupy the passenger seat in a 4 person vehicle. This requires a family of 4 to either drive 2 cars and waste money on gas or put themselves at risk by sitting in the passenger seat despite the danger.i am told that a solution is still approximately 9 months away. I have asked toyota to disable the airbag sensor in the seat until the remedy is available and they have refused for liability reasons. There was a time when we didn't have airbags and just used seat belts. Why can't we treat this as such. It is not reasonable to expect families to restrain from using 1/4 of their car for potentially an entire year. There's not the option to sell the car because fair market value will not be obtained with such a recall. In short, i want my passenger airbag disabled until a remedy can be provided. This is the least toyota can do.

My daughter was driving west bound on i20 between exit 189 and 190 on 11/1 when the car accelerated and hydroplane.my daughter was given permission to use my car on this date, the condition was rainy and low visibility.she took feet off gas and proceeded to brake when the car accelerated.as she put her feet on brakes she lost control and crash in guard rail.in the meantime i have checked the data base and there are two recalls on this vehicle.one involved acceleration. The dealer should have had these recalls done before the car was sold which could have helped to prevent the acceleration.someone should be held liable other than the consumer for this mishap.i need to know what is the next step as a consumer.also the air bag did not disengaged.i called the dealership and spoke with [xxx] on 11/6 who confirmed that there are still two recalls on this car and she asked when did i want to bring the vehicle in.why was this not done before purchase.i also spent $2800 on an extended powertrain warranty through the dealership.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

2009 corolla le - incident on ohio turnpike on 9/27/20. 3 lane highway. Driver in the middle lane saw a deer ahead in the right lane moving towards median. Driver swerved to the left to avoid hitting thedeer and, in a process, hit the median concrete barrier. Vehicle smashed full force into concrete barrier, bounced off, spun and ended on the right side on the right shoulder. Vehicle completely destroyed. It was a high speed full force impact with median to evade hitting deer, vehicle totaled/ not reparable. None of the air bags got deployed and they should.theentire front, including cracked windshield with glass particles falling onto the dashboard and the drivers hands holding steering wheel.major damage on the drivers side as well as on theback corner of the vehicle @the drivers's side.driver got worse injuries than he would if bags.deployed as they were supposed to. Driver had the glass dust particles and bits from the shattered windshieldall over him and embedded in his hands..please investigate.i want to prevent someone elsewhere from getting injured due to this issue. I am sure this is not the only 2009 corolla with this issue.it is a shame for the toyota brand to allow the main safety feature (and the important selling point for their brand) tomalfunction. Thank you

Takata recallnhtsa recall no. 16v-340 & 17v-006.why does toyota issue an interim recall notice with no remedy available?i have a 5 passenger car that is now a 4 passenger car (really a 2 passenger car now b/c the back seat is so small) and i cannot carry my whole family in the car.this car no longer meets my requirements because of this recall and the inability to use the front seat.why can't toyota expedite the fix and/or disable the passenger airbag in the meantime?also, if my passenger airbag is made by takata and is affected by the recall, who is to say that my driver's side airbag is any safer? is the driver side airbag made by takata as well? has any investigation been done into the drivers's side airbag to clear it for use?what about the side curtain airbags?why would one side be safe to use and the other not be?can i safety operate my vehicle and depend on my airbag to save me in the event of a crash and not kill me instead?i'm not convinced.there are too many questions and virtually no answers in the recall notice.i expect a prompt, full, and complete remedy of this problem in a timely manner., or toyota is required by law to buy back, replace my vehicle, or offer me a rental for the duration of this recall.it has been over two weeks since i received the interim recall notice, and i expect to hear a response on availability of a fix more promptly than this.this is unacceptable!! toyota has known about this issue for over 2 years with their airbags now and only now am i receiving a notice that my vehicle is affected.what am i to do? sit here and wait another 2 years for a fix?how long will it be?

Takata recall - dealer was contacted but no parts available june/1/2015unintended acceleration at a security gate when braking to approach gate arm. 04/24/2017

I have had several problems with my 2009 corolla since i purchased it.several of the recalled safety items occurred before they were even recalled by toyota. I'm still waiting to hear from toyota (more than 2 months have passed) concerning results from the blackbox for an acceleration incident.during 7/2011, i had to take my car in because the srs airbag light continues to be displayed and the dealer checked it and said it would cost an initial $250 just to try to diagnose the problem and then pay for any parts (could be up to $1,200). The dealership indicated that while this light is on, the airbags may not deploy in an accident.even though the car is out of warranty, this safety issue should be something that toyota would want to correct for the customer, especially since i have had so many problems with the car already. I don't feel safe in this car.

In a frontal crash the passenger side curtain airbags were deployed and the roof handle was ejected from its base like a projectile and hit the driver head with great force .

There is an active recall on my vehicle and toyota has not rectified the issue.the recall was issued jan 09, 2017

Takata recall still no parts to fix the air bags. It's been over a year

Takata recall: after waiting about 6 months, there is no fix available for the airbag recall in my corolla.i have not used the passenger seat since becoming aware of the recall to ensure the safety of my family.i am due to have our second baby in a matter of months, and when i have 2 car seats in the back, i will be unable to transport my family of 4 safely.my vehicle is the primary vehicle in my family.being unable to transport my family in one car is unacceptable.it is also unacceptable to not know whether the problem will be remedied before the arrival of my baby.my car will not be able to meet the needs of my family, and i am not financially able to purchase a different car because of this.please remedy my car as soon as possible.this must be taken care of in the fall, before my car becomes a major issue for my family.the unknown of how to transport my family in the near future is becoming a major source of stress and will become a major financial burden if it is not remedied by the winter.

Takata recalli just spoke with a customer service representative and they informed that my safety recall will be able to be fixed in december of 2017. It is absolutely absurd that i have to wait until the end of the year for a safety recall. Safety recall as in it could endanger the life of any passenger with me!!!!!!!!!

Takata recall #g1p. Why is this serious recall still" preparing for a remedy". I got the recall notice from toyota 7-9-16. I've checked nhtsa "recalls" 6-30-16and 1-4-17 with same explanation. We are planning a 1000 mi trip??? should we do it?nothing has happen..yet.i scare to drive it.

My wife was recently in an accident while driving a 2009 toyota corolla in princeton nj. She mentioned that she stopped at the stop sign and presumably tried to move forward a bit so that she can see the traffic on the main road, to make a right turn and next thing she realized was that she was on middle of the main road hit by a flatbed truck. She is not sure how it happened. The car suffered good damage to the front left side near the tires and based on the autobody, it is going to be a high dollar repair. During the accident:1) the seatbelt tightened strong enough to brake her left clavicle bone in her shoulder.2) the air bags did not deploy. This is my biggest concern.due to this accident she received a traffic ticket. This model of the car was part of the recent accelerator pedal recall and i got it fixed march 2010.i cannot stop wondering if that issue, eventhough considered as fixed, had something to do with the car accelerating faster on to the road than expected. My wife thinks she hit the accelerator slowly to move ahead a bit to better see the traffic on the main road. I have driven her car in the past and did not notice any issues related to this recall before the fix.i am not blaming this on this issue, however, i cant stop wondering if that may have played a role. And my bigger issue is that the air bags did not deploy. The car is in a body shop in nj and i can share photos if needed.

Takata recall - i have contacted the local toyota dealer (team toyota of glen mills, pa) multiple times since the recall was announced and i received the safety recall from toyota.the dealer always claims they don't have the replacement parts and won't have the parts for a long time.how can i get the air bag replaced?

Taking to long to fix problem with recall. I drive my grandkids around and due to the recalli am unable to take them anywhere, in fear of my granddaughter being killed by metal from an air bag.

I got letter from toyota said my model car have problem with driver air bag and maybe , if an accident occurs the air bag will not deploy and cause serious risk injury to the driver. And they inform me that their is no remedy for this problem till now.as you know that part its very important to the driver and safety ,i'm always driving long distances and i don't feel safe now with this car and even they found remedy for this problem i will still afraid to drive my cari hope you understand what i feel .thanks

Takata recall this is taking far too long to get replaced.toyota has informed me that they need to replace the air bag (which could kill me, i live in the south and it's the area most likely to have faulty airbags as i understand it).i understand the huge undertaking this airbag recall involves for all car companies including toyota but at what point will this faulty deadly equipment ever be replaced?a year?five?is there even a point if a recall takes so long the car dies of old age first?

The spiral cable sub-assy airbag clock spring, (part of air bag assembly in steering wheel) will not work. Resulting in lack of air bag deployment in critical situations.light will activate in dashboard, indicating the air bag is non functional. This vehicle has never been in any major car incident with the exception of some minor bumper scratches and the air bags have never been deployed.i took the vehicle to a toyota dealer and there computer diagnostic report provided several codes with this malfunction,considering the function of this part as a protection against personal driver or passenger injuries. The deployment or lack of deployment in any unexpected event can cause a major accidentin driving condition.resulting in personal injury due to manufactures defect of this part.

Takata recall.i was in a car accident the norning of 09/12/2017. My car experienced significant damge to the front end, so much so that it needs to be totalled. My airbags did not deploy. The airbags should have depliyed due to the extent of the damage. At the time of impact i was turning left and my vehicle was in motion on a city street.

Takata recallairbags have been proven to be defective

The air bags were part of recall and when i called was told there was no solution to the problem. My car was involved in accident on oct 7th and was totaled and the air bags never went off despite the driver hitting their head right where the side air bag was.....updated 11/03/17 updated 9/12/18

Takata recall: how could this have a recall andyour company is stalling to complete this recall when you are knowing that when driven we can get into a major fatal car accident with the airbags forcing pressure against our bodies and even can burn our face and moreso death can appear during this incident. I was so frightened to think i see the airbag 6 second light light up and blink driving on the highway. Thank the lord that nothing happened to cause an accident or a 36o turn multple crash on the rain, mudslide roads..

The recall has been pending since may of last year, how much time am i supposed to let pass before i can have a fix, and not feel safe with passengers in my car, everyone has to sit in the back seat and it's not convenient.

2009 toyota corolla s was involved in a crash and the air bagsfailed to deploy. *dtthe consumer stated another vehicle hit the driver side of the vehicle.due to the high impact from the other vehicle the consumer's vehicle was dragged about 22 feet to the right side of the road and hit against the concrete curb and a sign pole which was another huge impact to the front side of the vehicle.

My air beg light come on and don't go away. I receive a letter from toyota about air beg recall. They told me to go to local toyota dealership and say they will fix it. I went there and they told they don't have the part and they will order it and told me to wait. Is been a year and they never call me back. I receive a second letter from toyota about the same air beg recall and so l call the local dealership. They say the part is not available and tell me to wait. I don't think they doing anything about it. Because i'm driving down the road with a defects car, i'm constantly worry. I just want my car to be fix before is too late.

Takata recall: there is still no remedy for the airbag recall on my car.may to august (3 months) is an unreasonable amount of time to have not fixed this safety issue.the toyota corolla is our family car, and the other vehicle we have is my husband's work truck that is full of equipment.i'm involved in a work 70-80 hours a month that requires me to occasionally transport 1 to 4 other passengers.it was stated in the recall notice that other transportation options are available, but there were no details about how to take advantage of this.i would like to be contacted about my options in this area.

Takata airbags - i received a recall notice from toyota in january stating that my car was under recall notice because of the defective takata airbags. I was told no one is supposed to sit in my passenger seat until the repair part is installed. It is six months later, and after talking with them today, they stated that the part would not be available until december. It is ridiculous that i cannot have anyone sit in my passenger seat for an entire year. Toyota should make the parts available to everyone in the country and take responsibility for their lack of safety testing.

Takata recall - was notified in january 2017 by toyota that there is a recall on my vehicle.to date, there is no remedy yet.they recommend not putting anyone in front passenger seat.i have 5 people (including myself)i am required to transport in my vehicle.they should provide a suitable replacement vehicle for me to use free to meet my purpose for buying the car, until they find a remedy.

When someone sits in the front passenger seat, the airbag sensor does not correctly judge who is sitting there. This is a come-and-go problem. Sometimes the error lights come on when they shouldn't:the "buckle seatbelt" light flashes even when the seat belt is buckled. The "airbag off" light also flashes (the lights come on together), even though the person in the seat is a normal-sized adult. The (non-dealer) mechanic also told us it was sometimes sensing a larger person than was there, so it could turn the airbag on when it shouldn't. This would clearly be very dangerous in and accident.

There is a recall on my vehicle which does not have a way of fixing it in a decent time frame.i have a family that requires someone to be in the front seat.the letter states to keep people from that seat, but if i dont have any other way of transporting my family how will i stay safe.

"takata recall"....it's taking too long for this remedy to happen.vehicle is sitting idle.someone let someone know something because this is ridiculous!!interim notice was received 'months' ago.

Takata recall for my toyota corolla was issued in january 2017 and there is still no remedy available to fix it. This is a very dangerous matter and i feel there should be a remedy immediately. It is unreasonable to simply say don't drive your car or use the front passenger seat until the problem is fixed. This needs to be fixed now or more people will be hurt or killed.

Side curtain airbags failed to deploy in side impact. Car even rolled over without the deployment of airbags. Passenger front airbag never deployed with front impact with safety belt on. Driver ejected due to no deployment of curtians

Today is october 23, 2017.i received notice of a defective airbag inflator months ago, and immediately notified the toyota dealer, but am still waiting for repairs.i have just today received notice of the tk holdings bankruptcy case, with a deadline for filing claims of december 27, 2017.i can drive my car, but i cannot allow anyone to sit in the front passenger seat. I know there is a priority system for repairs. How does the bankruptcy filing affect the repair priority?

Takata recall - i received a letter in january 2017 telling me that my vehicle is unsafe due to the issues with the break-down of the components in the takata airbags. The letter indicated i should stop driving my vehicle because it is unsafe. 10 months later, there is still no resolution for this. I have been told by the dealerships and online, that they do not have parts available to fix my vehicle and there is no estimation of when they might be able to fix my vehicle. I was offered the option of getting a rental car but will be responsible for the charges associated with using the rental car. I drive 25 miles one way, back and forth to work everyday. I cannot afford to have a rental vehicle for a year or longer. I don't have any option but to drive my unsafe vehicle. I have children that i also have to drive in this vehicle. This is unacceptable.

Loss of steering at a right bend in the street, think the power went out to the electronic power assist, car went straight into a sign pole with a large cement base, major damage to front end, airbag didn't deploy, seatbelt didn't work and there was no power at all to the car even though the battery was not damaged. Car was recently at toyota dealership for recall to repair to electrical power window problemto prevent electrical fire, oil change and service done at same time, the car has been well maintained. New tires and brakes. Opened a claim with toyota, so far met with apathy and resistance.

Takata recalli first received the recall notice in may 2016. Multiple calls to the augusta dealership throughout the summer since i needed my car to make long travels with my sister and young nieces - couldn't all fit in the backseat together. Constantly just told they had no resolution yet. When asked what i should do, was just told to not have anyone in the front seat, even when i said that wasn't an option. Co-worker with different make and model, but affected by same air bag recall had hers replaced within days last year. I *just now* got mail stating that they finally have a resolution. A full year after the initial recall and when other cars with the same issue were fixed is pretty unacceptable. Especially since i live in the area that is most at risk with high humidity and temperatures.

Takata recalli received a notice in the beginning of june saying that their is a problem with the air bag and to not have anyone sit in the passenger side. The notice said that they will send more information once the part is ready. For the last 6 months i have been trying to use my car less, but there are times when as a family of four, we have no choice but to have someone sitting in the passenger side. Finally here we are in january and i contacted a dealer asking what is the status of the recall and when i can expect it to be fixed. I was told by the dealer, they have no idea what toyota is going to be doing about this recall. I asked what am i suppose to do in the meantime? i was told i could rent a car! really?! and who would pay for that? me of course. I'm so disappointed in toyota they i have had 6 recalls on my car, and they have taken care of it in a timely manner, but this one that can cause an airbag to be deadly, they are taking their time. How long am i suppose to wait? this is terrible, and shows toyota doesn't care about the well being of their customers. When will toyota be forced to handle this?

Takata recall.i received notification recently via mail of a recall on my vehicle.i was informed that this recall is for the passenger side airbag, manufactured by takata.my complaint is that the "remedy" is for me to not have any passengers in my front passenger seat until the "second phase" of the recall takes place but they cannot tell me when that might be.what kind of remedy is this?i can't drive anyone anywhere unless i make them sit in the backseat like a taxi.also, this decreases the number of people i can have in my car.i want them to fix the problem.at the very least, tell me when they will fix the problem.i am unhappy with their solution to the issue.

This was the second accident in this car. Rear ended another vehicle.car was nearly totaled with $9,700 in damage primarily to the front end.air bags never activated.prior accident one week earlier where the air bags also failed to activate.air bag light comes on intermittently and toyota will not diagnose or fix unless they see the light on.

The passenger side air bag "off" light, warning light and main airbag light come on for no apparent reason and remain on. The vehicle had been parked and we have never had this message before. Error code b1650 and b1797. The error can not be cleared. The "fix" is to replace the floor harness then the central air bag ecu and then the seat assembly until it is fixed. Aprx $5000. 2 toyota mechanics gave us different diagnostic, one telling us there was corrosion and the other saying there was a broken wire. Independent checking of the harness showed neither. I am from canada but thought i should submit this here also since i see complaints for this issue in the u.s,

I was driving in a parking lot on the main driveway leading out of parking lot.i was stuck by a truck in the rear passenger side.the other drivers truck struck my back wheel taking most of the impact.wheel physically looks straight and does not show any wobble when watching it drive.no airbags deployed yet i could not steer or brake my vehicle.almost as if everything froze when i was impacted. Vehicles power was still on but nothing worked after impact.i ended up crashing into shopping carts and curb after impact because i could not stop.this could have been a disaster if i was not in a parking lot.i would be dead if this was on a highway.

I was involved in a rollover crash and not a single airbag deployed. I honestly think it's a defect from all the issues that toyota has had with airbags. I was ran off the road going around a curve and i hit a ditch and my car flipped end over end. The front of my car was severely damaged, i was going about 50mph, every air bag should have deployed.

Takata recallover a month ago my wife received a letter from toyota stating that her vehicle was part of recall that involved the passenger side air bag.upon reading the letter it stated "until the remedy becomes available, we recommend that you do not operate the vehicle while with an occupant in the front passenger seat." that really sounds like a short term fix. So my wife called east coast toyota that day and explained to the dealer about the recall notice, they told her that a remedy was available and made a service appointment for 4/18/17 @ 12:30pm. When she arrived they said that there wasn't a fix and didn't offer an apology for the huge inconvenience. At the dealer she was told that a fix would be available in june 2017 and that she needed to call the 1800 number on the recall notice.. After hearing about her journey i was upset so i decided to call 1-888-270-9371. The rep julia lisa said that a remedy wouldn't be ready until december 2017. I also asked what toyota was offering its customers in the mean time because the short tiene fix was now a long term. She stated that we could ask the dealer for a "loaner car." we really need this car to transport our family around. Please help.

I have a toyota corolla 2009s it was part of the original takata airbag recall that original remedy was completed in 2017. Since that day i have taken the vehicle back to the dealership multiple times and concerns with a foul odor coming from the glove compartment. I have been contacted by the dealership via email saying that i need to bring it back in the airbags are being recalled that were used to replace the original recall. Once i get to the dealership they say my vin number has not hit in hsta's website so i'll just have to wait which could be up to a year. They have indicated multiple times that my vehicle is going to be recalled it's just a matter of time in the meantime i'm left to drive a car that is a public safety for myself and others knowing that the air bag to deploy at anytime. He informed me the vehicles in florida recalls will be repaired first due to the heat and then they'll move their way up to zombie in the meantime i am without a vehicle and it's too dangerous for myself and others to drive they failed to work with me.

My passenger side curtain airbag plastic covering is broken and falling off, no way to fix it as all the clips to hold it in place are broken and unreplaceable without deploying the airbag.

Takata recall:i received notice of the takata recall in march, at the latest, and followed their recommendation of not allowing someone to sit in the front passenger seat.however, with five family members, this is not a viable solution for my family.we cannot fit all of us, let alone guests, in the car and still avoid the recalled air bag.toyota has been good about issuing recalls and providing remedies within a month of the recall, but this has gone on long enough.the recall was issued in january, i received notice in march, and it is now mid-july, with no remedy forthcoming.i am frustrated that a solution has not yet been provided and sincerely hope that this issue will be dealt with before the month is out.

"takata recall".my mother and i received a statement from toyota on 6-9-2016 regarding the takata front passenger airbag inflator recall.it is now 10-26-2016 and the recall part has not been in stock.my 93 year old mother's license expired on 10-16-2016 and we are attempting to sell the vehicle to a private party, but once they know the vehicle is unsafe with no pending date for the recall part to come in, they back out of the transaction.my mother continues to pay car insurance on a car that she can no longer drive and is unable to receive her income from the sale of the car.i had a recall with honda that took no longer than a week and feel that toyota has let us down by going over 4 months with no end in sight.i don't think that a company should treat customers who have owned 8 toyota vehicles.please help us resolve this problem.thank you!

Takata recall & water pump.failure to provide replacement parts in a timely manner on the takata air bags.was told not to use front passenger seat.not practical!also, failure of water pump and indicator light to warn of the failure.resulted in total replacement of engine.temperature gauge showed normal when in fact the engine was over heating.car was just over the the mileage of 54,000 in july 2014.we were coming back from a trip to myrtle beach, and it died on the highway three hours from our house in ohio, just as dusk was falling.very frightening not knowing what was going on.no warning what-so-ever.had an expensive tow back to mogadore from new philadelphia, ohio.without a car for three weeks and forced to purchase a re-built engine from toyota.ganley toyota in akron was upset and mr. Ganley, the owner, would not even talk to us when we requested an appointment.attached is a list of similar complaints when i looked up water pump failure in 2014.i have not been able to take a vacation since, nor afford a new car.the woman who handles titles was nasty in indicating that we did not purchase the car from ganley.we had received a better price from metro toyota for the car but i don't see why that should make a difference, since all of our maintenance has come out of the ganley akron, ohio dealer.attached is a letter i plan on sending to toyota.the customer never forgets.

Takata recall - i am very upset to be driving an unsafe car. This recall is taken way too long to get resolved. When you contact dealers they just say you will be notified. I am not the original owner and have no idea what notices the previous owner may have received. I now am concerned because received an auto air bag class action settlement card that has a date to respond by september 25, 2017. Phone number listed is 1-888=735-5596 and website www.autoairbagsettlement.com..they are giving instruction as to how you can excuse yourself from the settlement or object. The language is very confusing. Is there ever going to be a fix or remedy for this issue. This vehicle i use everyday for work.

This car is my mothers car. She is unable to drive. My sister moved here to care for her. She has stage 4 lung cancer. My sister drives her to all her appointments for chemo, tests, etc. This is the only vehicle my mother can get into. This is causing a serious issue in transporting her. So far we are bing told there is no fix to the airbag situation. Your recall # 17v006. Man recall # g1r. We understand the time it takes to get a solution but she received the recall over a year ago and still shes sitting in the back seat.my sister has to make the choice of sitting my elderly mother or one of her children in front of that airbag or pay a babysitter. This is not fair to either my sister or mother under the undue expenses of my mothers illness.

"takata recall"after receiving a notification (june 2016) from toyota indicating that i had a takata air bag which had been recalled, i decided to call toyota on oct. 31, 2016 to ask when my recalled takata airbag would be replaced since 4 months had already passed, and i still had not been contacted about when i could bring my car in for the recall/repair. The toyota service center said that they haven't started replacing these airbags because the parts/replacements were still being built and that it could take several more months if not years! i have a young child who rides with me and i find this answer unacceptable.

The airbag light in our 2009 toyota corolla (idiot light) came on.when we inquired with the dealer, colonial toyota in lincoln, ri (http://www.colonialtoyota.com) told us that it will be covered in the most recent recall but they are not covering it yet.

Takata recalli was advised in january not to drive our car due to a recall of the airbags and the potential for death from them deploying. (nhsta recall number 17v006) it has now been 7 months without a remedy. This is my family's only vehicle and we must use it for daily living needs. We fear daily that the airbags will endanger myself, my wife, or our children and we do not have the wealth or luxury to buy another car or use a taxi for all our daily living needs. We are requesting that a remedy be forced immediately upon the manufacturer even if it is simply a removal of the airbags and propellant. Lethal airbags are a greater hazard than use of seatbelts in a car with no airbags at all. Please offer a solution immediately or inform us of how the manufacturer will pay for a replacement car that can be safely used or be held liable for the cost of the current car toward a safe replacement vehicle.

I noticed the air bag light was on.a toyota dealership told me it was the spiral cable in the steering column. A direct quote from the invoice says, "upon inspection found code (b1801-1831-1836) will need to start with replacing spiral cable first may need further diag--."the car was not in any collisions near the time of when the light illuminate. For other toyota owners, the dealership charged me $120 to diagnose the problem and said that it would be $600 to fix.

Takata recall - we received a safety recall notice several months ago. Soon after, we called a local dealership to schedule the recall repair. On the call, the dealership told us they are out of parts and would contact us when the parts are in. About two or three months later, we still had not heard from the dealership, so we calledback but were told the same thing. Another two or three months later, which is today, we called back and were told the same thing yet again. I receive a safety recall notice (which by the way takes away a part of the utility of the vehicle by recommending that no one rides in the passenger front seat), but receive no help from toyota in addressing it. The dealership defers any and all responsibility to the manufacturer toyota corporate. At this point, we feel very inadequately assisted with this recall.

Takata recall: i was notified of the recall months ago and toyota still has not repaired it for me, the local dealership and i have been in communication for months now and the recall repair still isn't available; now they are saying it should be ready in november. I think it is crazy that i and my passengers have been unsafe for months now and with such terrible delay in any sort of repairs. This is unfair and shows disregard for my life and safety.

My 2009 corolla was rammed in rear and was pushed into car in front of it.car totaled and not one of 8 safety air bags deployed.as a passenger, if i were not wearing a seat belt, i would have been thrown through the windshield.my son and i were taken to local hospital for back and neck pain.i would like to know why not one of these air bags deployed.i have read on many websites that this is a major complaint on toyota vehicles.i feel this incident should be investigated as this is a major safety issue.

1. My daughter was driving her 2009 toyota corolla 4 door sedan and did not see a pickup truck stopped in the road waiting to make a left turn.she swerved, but not soon enough to avoid colliding with the truck.the toyota corolla sustained heavy damage to the driver's side front of the car (the car was totaled by the insurance company).there were no injuries to my daughter or her passenger.2. There were multiple failures of safety equipment on the toyota corolla.first, the air bags did not deploy.the investigating police officer said that they did not deploy because the collision "missed the sensor".second, and the failure that most concerns me is that the hood latch failed to prevent the hood from popping loose, thereby driving the hood backwards and breaking the windshield.i was appalled that the hood latch failed to secure the hood in the crash.3. Since the car was a total loss, this is the first time that the hood latch failure has been reported.the delay in reporting the failure si due to my lack of knowledge of this database.

Takata recall.recall incomplete.

When is there going to be a satisfactory solution to this airbag issue?????????????????????????????????????????? every time i call toyota i am told there is no remedy available.that is an unacceptable answer to a possibly deadly problem. This is my 4th toyota and willprobably be my last. And if you can't fix it, how do you intend the compensate the owners of the vehicles with the recalled airbags?is there anybody home?

My car is a 2009 toyota corolla le it was driven on october 31, 2009 when the gas pedal sped up and crashed towards the front vehicle. A police report. After this occurred around jan. 2010 i heard the corollas were doing a recall about the gas pedal and i figured thats what happened to me. I contacted toyota and its been three weeks since i last heard from them. There is a claim opened but i dont know anything about my car or whats going to happen.

Takata recallfrom airbagrecall.com: "the subject vehicles are equipped with front passenger airbag inflators produced by takata. According to takata, the propellant in these inflators may degrade after prolonged exposure to high absolute humidity and fluctuating high temperatures. Degraded propellant can cause inflator rupture during airbag deployment."i have not recevied any further information about resolving this safety issue

I was notified that these defective inflators might go off without warning due,to high heat.i live in south florida and do not have a garage.. I need this fixed now and i have been advised to "wait".do i wait until something awful happens?

Takata airbag: this recall was announced in may and toyota still has not come up with a fix for it -- all they say is to "avoid operating the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat," which is ridiculous long term. Please tell me what to do to get this replaced

Air bags did not deploy in a head on hit!! doing around 40 mph. Hit a bridge rail. Country road.

Takata recall has been issued for long time. But the remedy method is still unavailable. People's lives are at risk!

Unfortunately i don't have my vin handy for this email. My vehicle is under recall for the takata air bag.currently it is at the dealer for repair.toyota corp. Has informed me that repair may not be complete until possibly december 2017.they have provided me a loaner. Unfortunately, though i am hesitant to have someone else's vehicle for 9 months and having be responsible for it.in addition my car will be at the dealership laying idle for 9 months which is not good for the car.i have made contact again with toyota corp. To buy the car back, but they are refusing.i explained to them that i am under the understanding that repairs to the vehicle have to be made within a reasonable time, and 9 months is not reasonable.is there any recommendation you may have for me moving forward or is there any recourse of action i may have.

Takata recallwhen i took my car to local toyota dealers/service area two different times, i was told they don't have the needed parts to do repair yet. The suggestion was to not let anyone sit in the front passenger seat! (miller toyota, manassas, va)

Takata recall.it has been over a year and the repair is still not available.

The contact's cousin owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contact stated that while his cousin was driving at 5 mph, the driver's side of the vehicle was struck by a semi-trailer truck traveling at 45 mph. The air bags did not deploy. The contact was sitting in the front passenger seat and sustained injuries to his head, neck, and knee. The driver sustained injuries to her back. Medical attention was required and the contact went to his doctor. The contact did not know if the driver required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was driven back to the driver's house. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vin was included in nhtsa campaign number 16v340000 (air bags).the approximate failure mileage was 53,500.

I received a recall notice over 6 months ago.i contacted the toyota dealer in my area immediately.i was told that the parts were not available.i have called three times in the six month period and each time i have been told that the parts are not available.they also asked me if i purchased the car from them, which i did not.the dealer is grappone in concord nh.i have not been able to have anyone sit in the passenger seat of my car for the past 6 months.this is pure negligence on the part of either the dealer or toyota.

Takata recall - i am submitting this to complain about toyota's lack of urgency to replace the front passenger airbag in my car. I received the notice from them about the recall in february of 2017 and up until now (almost 4 months later) i not received any further communication from toyota that they will be fixing the problem. I just called toyota and they informed me that my car will not be eligible to be fixed until december 2017. This is absolutely unexceptionable, inexcusable. I am now forced to drive around with a literal ticking time bomb that could go off at any time injuring or killing myself and/or anyone else who may be in my car. Toyota's timeframe for repair shows their lack of concern towards their consumers. Any help you can provide to get toyota to fix this problem with my car would be greatly appreciated.

Takata recall it has been a year and no resolution from dealership,no action to resolve the issue or recall has been taken

"takata recall"i received a recall notice for the passenger airbag this past winter and have not heard about a remedy yet. Why is this taking so long? i'm anxious about this problem and would like it rectified asap.

Takata recall. "remedy not available"! takata/toyota has failed to remedy the safety recall for my vehicle in a timely manner. The video on nhtsa site suggests serious injury or death can occur upon crash/impact due to takata defect. "timely manner" would be immediate repair'parts available in all states for all vehicles. I received notification last year 2016, it is now aug. 2017 and i am still unable to escape possible injury or death because takata has failed. I live in very hot humid conditions in southern illinois/st. Louis. Is today the day i or occupant die from an airbag that is supposed to save lives? fortunately i have not had a crash with the vehicle, so i have not yet experienced the life threatening condition caused by the defect. Fortunately i am still alive to file a complaint'will i or my passengers be here tomorrow? takata and toyota need to figure out the answer to that question. Since late last year (2016) recall instructions are to not ride with a passenger. And it is now august of 2017'people have families, friends, one life to live'and need to use their passenger seat! their delay in fixing is beyond negligent. Toyota dealers are disabling airbags and put "do not sit here sticker" in cars? i am making a car payment'their solution to not useof my car. I am formally requesting that in addition to repair that takata/toyota payof my car payment from time of first notice and until they have repaired my car. They are causing daily worry and stress- is today the day i get injured or die today from a shrapnel-shooting inflator?i have been a loyal toyota owner. I would plan on another toyota in the future'but what is toyota/takata doing for me'except endangering myself and my family. By dec. 2016 there were at least 11 deaths and 184 injuries. Those numbers will turn out higher. They are failing to fix the problem!

When inquiring about the general recall for air bags i was informed by texas toyota that the recall did not apply to this vehicle. Looking it up on the nhtsa website shows that airbags should have been replaced by the dealer.

Takata recall.the recall letter states "do not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat."my husband and i are retired with only one car--the 2009 corolla, which is under a recall with the dire warning to not have anyone sit in the passenger seat.i called the dealer and was told that it would be okay to sit in the front passenger seat as long as the weather was not hot.i then called the toyota main customer service dept and was told to notsit in the front seat or everyone in the car could be injured or killed.there is no estimate for when a repair will be done and was also told that there is no solution for the repair.so we will be forced to use the difficult to enter back seat, not have anyone else in the car with us, and generally limit our car usage until the repair is made.even if we opted to sell the car and buy another, the knowledge of the recall impairs the price we would receive for the corolla.this is totally an unfair situation which we did not cause through any negligence of our own.

So on the driver's side of the car the air bag light is always on even when the car isn't on. I went to the toyota dealership and stated the problem that i had and they insisted that i had to pay, when i got a letter from toyota remedy notice stating that stye can cover for fixing the air bag light. I have the letter with me directly from toyota. So i don't understand why i have to pay for it when i go to the dealership. This absolutely makes no sense and i feel like they are purposely trying to make money off of me. When i have a letter from toyota stating they can pay for the damage.

Takata recall i was notified about my vehicle's airbag recall sometime in early january. It is now may 23, 2017 and they have yet to contact me about the remedy. It has been over five months and they have not concluded a fix to the airbags on my passenger side of the car. It is truthfully, unbelievable that they have yet to find a solution to this problem. It is extremely dangerous to put someone in my passenger side of my car and will not put their life at risk but five months is more than enough time to figure out a solution. I checked the website and it predicts that the remedy will be available in december of 2017. I think this is inexcusable to allow happen. Granted, i do understand that it is not the drivers side airbag, but being a college student and having to transport people for my job, it puts them at risk. Thank you for reading my concern.

Takata recall - i have not experience an incident, rather, my complaint is that toyota has no estimated date for when the passenger side airbag will be replaced and i will be unable to allow a passenger to sit in the front passenger seat until that is resolved.at the very least i would like to know that these recalls are being expedited and have an estimated time frame when my corolla will be safely fully functional.

Takata recall. I have been under the takata recall since june of 2016 and i have been in a rental car provided by toyota since september 2016. It's been almost a year since the recall for my car has been issued and i haven't heard anything about a remedy for it. I'm hoping to hear something on whether or not it's going to be fixed anytime soon since i am still making payments on my car and would like to be able to drive it safely. I would also not like to be in a rental for another 6 months or longer waiting on this recall.

I had a vehicle accident on 5/11/17 of which caused a personal head injury laceration due to none of my airbags deploying inside of my vehicle when they should have. It advises that there was a recall on my vehicle for this back in 2014 for the drivers side airbags and there is no information stating that this recall had been done on my vehicle from the dealership or total loss records from my insurance company. I have attached 3 pictures of the damage done to my vehicle, as well as a picture showing no airbags deploying in the vehicle. Any information/documents needed for this please don't hesitate to ask.

Takata recall.was given a notice last year (march 2016) and the fix has still not been addressed.dealers do not have parts and are not compensating owners in any way. It is difficult to not use the driver side passenger seat.

Takata recall - the remedy to correct the air bag defect for the toyota corolla 2009 is not within a reasonable time.it's been 9 months and no remedy is available as yet.i need the passenger front seat of my car for my family and it's been a hardship.

I was driving 15 mph in 33 degree temp.i gave it a little gas at the bottom of a small hill and my car went in to a fish tail.i corrected this about 6 times before i could not recover.my car hit the ditch on the passenger side and flipped on it's roof.prior to the accident my wheel would almost take control of the car between above30 mph.the car would swerve all over my lane.i thought this was just me, now i see many others have this problem also.question being..... Could the alignment be off enough from the eps problems that it could have made it possible that my car would not have been recoverable from?i would like toyota to look in to this to determine the problem before another family of 5 ends up upside down in a ditch.

I was going to turn into a parking spot in the work parking garage. As i moved my foot from the gas pedal to the brake, my foot knocked the floor mat causing it to jam under the gas pedal.this caused the car to accelerate into a concrete pole despite both of my feet being on the brake.i had the recall fix done to my car to insert the plastic pieces to hold the mat in place properly and was assured by the dealership that this would never be a problem; however, they were small pieces of plastic and the mat was completely unattached from both of them.the car continued to attempt to accelerate after it was stuck on the barrier until i was able to pull the floor mat out from under the accelerator.the pieces were only inserted into the carpet and not the floor boards, and the responding officer said they pulled out really easily.he was also concerned that the airbag in the car didn't deploy in this situation due to the acceleration and amount of front end damage to the car and suggested something might also be wrong with it.

There was a recall on the passenger side airbag of my vehicle which toyota fixed. While the technician was fixing my passenger side airbag they discovered that my driver side airbag had been deactivated. I contacted toyota about the problem after reading about a recall which electrical connections to a spiral cable assembly can be damaged when the steering wheel is turned. Which could lead to the driver's airbag to being deactivated, and failing to deploy in a crash. I was told they would not fix the problem.

Takata recallreceived interimnotice regarding spiral cable replacement in connection to the airbag.have not received notification there is a remedy.also received recall notice regarding the takata front passenger airbag inflator.they advised that until a remedy is available the vehicle should not be operated with an occupant in the front passenger seat.how practical is that?

Toyota' has notified that 2009 corolla has dangerous air bags and the vehicle is not to be driven until the airbags are repaired. Toyota has offered a replacement vehicle until our car is fixed but demands that we surrender our car for storage. The dealer denies any responsibility for the storage of our vehicle and only offers outdoor storage for up to 6 months. We have only garage stored our vehicle and long term storage out door storage is unacceptable. The ft, myers toyota dealer refuses any type of liability waiver for garage storage of our vehicle. The demands of the toyota dealer are unacceptable and unnecessary. I would like to file a formal complaint against toyota that the recall and satisfaction of the air bag problem is unacceptable and the repair period of 2 to 6 months is ridiculous.

I was driving straight on the mass pike in framingham, ma, and my car began to lose control.i neither hit anything nor did i lose control of the car.the brakes stopped working and i could not turn the steering wheel.this resulted in my car swerving out of control, hitting the barrier and flipping over.my car landed directly on top of 2 of the 6 air bags i have in my car, and not one airbag deployed after barrel rolling my car.my car is now totaled and i am undergoing physical therapy for severe whiplash to my back and neck.my insurance company has considered the accident a human error, yet i did nothing to cause the accident.my friend who has been a car mechanic for over 20 years feels that it was a mechanical flaw on the vehicle, and does not see how the accident could have been caused by me.i would like to talk to someone regarding a possible manufacturer's error on my new but totaled 09 toyota corolla.

Takata recallwe have a 2009 and a 2011 corolla under recall for fixing passenger side airbags.it has been 10 months since the original notice and we have not been contacted for a fix.since the airbag can be deadly if deployed, this is totally unacceptable and we have not heard from toyota in a long time about it.please help.thank you.[xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Takata recall:no accident as yet, but fearful to have passengers in my car until the airbags are fixed.i am a senior caregiver, car paid for, low mileage.i need the car to transport my husband to appts and clinics and now worry about safety.my vin # is on the matched list and i live in a hot, humid climate.

Takata recall.nothing has been done although this problem is years old.

Takata recallthis fix has not been made available to me. The safety of my family riding in this vehicle is important. I should be able to use this vehicle safely without concern for my welfare in an accident.

There is no resolution - now takata is closing down factory - what does this mean for the consumer?

Takata recall. I got the letter and went to toyota monumental in ponce, puerto rico where they took the car in and made me sign papers.however, as of today, the recall remains unresolved according the the nhsand toyota internet sites.hence, i am not comfortable as to whether they performed the required remedy. For your information, although i had made an appointment on the phone, when i arrived the dealerclaimed that i was not on their appointment list.they took my car in for the supposed remedy, however.attached please find a copy of the document the dealer gave me upon release of my car.

Takata recall - unacceptable time to replace the front passenger air bag. Called dealer various times without an replacement time period. Toyota seems not to be interested in addressing this issue.

Takata airbag. After 8 years, this possibly lethal component has not been removed and replaced.

Takata recall. I received an interim recall notice (nhtsa no. 16v-340 & 17v-006) from toyota. I have contacted my dealer at least 4 separate times regarding the recall repair. Each time i was told that the recall was interim and a recall repair had not been identified and was not possible. I am unable to pay for a replacement air bag inflator out-of-pocket so since receiving the recall notice (i believe nearly one year ago although there is no date on the notice from toyota), i have been unable to operate my vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat. Today, i received notice from takata (tk holdings inc.) notifying me that they had filed chapter 11 bankruptcy and that i should contact my dealership immediatelyto schedule a free repair. My dealership asked to see a copy of this notice, as they had not received this information. They indicated that they would contact me with a follow-up after reviewing the notice. However, as of today, 10/26/2017, toyota has been unable and unwilling to remedy the airbag problem and schedule my repair. The notice from tk holdings led me to visit the airbag recall website, which led me to file this complaint.

Takata recalli have received notification from auto airbag settlement about "takata recall", seems my vin number matched with an eligible subject vehicle. If there is a issue with air bag it need to be resolved.

No one call tells us when this can be fixed and it's affecting my commute.

Letter from congressman reed on behalf of constituent re toyota recall- time frame ( attn: alison hunt).2009 toyota corolla.

Takata recall - the manufacturer has failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall for my vehicle in a timely manner. I live in texas which is considered as a higher risk due to the heat and humidity,

Takata recalli received the recall notice many months ago. The date below is an approximation.i was told that for safety no one should ride in the front passenger seat. I am still waiting for the repair. This is an unacceptable inconvenience. I feel that i should have been provided with a loaner car.

The manufacture has not provided remedy of the recall for faulty air bags (manufacturer recall numberg1r, nhtsa recall number17v006) , it's been almost 6 months in waiting. Not able to drive with someone in passenger seat.

Takata recall. Received letter in 2016 about passenger side airbag defect. Nov '16 told by local dealer they would put me on list for rental and parts. No response to multiple contacts since then. No eta for parts and remediation of defect. No eta on help with another vehicle.

Takata recall - not received repair procedure from manufacturer. No accidents/damage to the car.

A year ago under rainy weather,driving my toyota corolla s/09 when approaching the highway exit i lost control of the car before turning out to the main way. I crashedwith the highway bar and the left side of the car got damage, no airbags came out, however i drive it like that to the dealer where they assist for the whole reparation and deal with the insurance. My deductible was $1000 among the reparation. Weeks later they called me to pick up the car, noticing the lights from the board didn't turn on. Getting back to garage.then 6 months later the harness was reported as non properly repair when an engine light turns on and i got back to the dealer. They did reparation back with the insurance as part of the accident reparation. They were all sending each other and no one gave any answer about was going on with the car. Later, i decide to sell the car by owner or trade for another, noticing that all the mechanics i'd visited including other dealers are telling me that the care is unsafe to drive due to a frame damage that was never reported to me after the entire reparation, and is not in the papers. I did all the recalls suggested by toyota this year, but i'm still driving a car that should be reported as a total lost due to the damage suffered at the accident. Adjuster said there was nothing wrong at reparation and that people from the dealer couldn't say the car wasn't properly repaired. I'm still paying for the car, the increment of the insurance, and nobody at toyota cares about the frame damage issue. At the last reparation due to the harness, they didn't gave any work paper saying they get rid of printer paper. Things shouldn't be like this when safety is first thing when driving a car.

"takata recall" on 7/3/13,left work at 2:30 from fm1960 and aldine westfield. Took the on ramp of west loutetta to get off of ramp. I inched up to the intersection and the at&trepairman thought i was going, so, he gunned it. Needdlesstosay, i recieved spinal injuries, and the airbag never popped out. Years later, it is still indicating as implemented to no avail. I was told that the repairing of this problem is a massive undertaking. Of which i thought was going to be taken care of when the car was being repaired.

Takata recall. I called my local toyota dealership, hansel toyota, and asked when the recalled part might be replaced. I was told possibly december or spring of 2017 and they were sorry for the inconvenience. I called again today and was told the supervisor was telling the agent i was speaking with that it might be fixed by spring or summer of 2017. I then called toyota customer experience center and was told they would not give a date until the parts are ready. I expressed my frustration at not being able to ride with a front seat passenger for the last 6-7 months. The agent told me he was in the same position i was. If this does not get fixed until summe of 2017, i will have been unable to use my front passenger seat for over one year. This also concerns me as to why the recall only applies to the passenger seat. This has been a huge worry that the airbag will deploy and injure my vehicles occupants, but this is the only vehicle i own.

Dear sirs,i had a mechanical failure caused vehicle collision where two safety hazards should call public alert. On aug. 24, 2009 as i traveled on highway 93 south, i saw the vehicle in front of me took a sudden slow-down or stop, about 30 feet in distance, even as i floored the brake pedal, my 2009 toyota corolla did not have any brake function at all, even not a resistance force at the pedal. My vehicle reared another vehicle inside the tunnel of 93 south, under normal travel situation: road surface and lighting. And then before the deployed airbag from the driving column could have blocked my body movement forward , it exploded, the inside of my vehicle filled with smoke and funny smells. Fortunately, nobody got serious injured in the collision.since my corolla is a new car under 4900 miles, this was the only time i experience the sudden mechanical failures. My insurance company, metropolitan property, has inspected the vehicle, but did not specify any mechanical failures. Toyota north america also had their personnel inspected the vehicle upon received my report to them, but they may not take any responsibility to pass the information to the public, as there is also liability issue within.so far no repair work has been done to the vehicle, yet. The simultaneous failures of both brakes and airbag could be very serious safety hazards, please take note of this case and make it available to the public. If possible, i would appreciate it if you could, or letsome third-party mechanic to, have my vehicle inspected.thanks.

About 5:30pm on thursday evening (2/4/10), i was driving home n on silver lake blvd & 36 st. It was lightly snowing, the streets were wet and slippery, and i was driving under 15/mph going downhill. As i pressed the brakes, the car went faster, and did not stop until i badly hit the car in front of me and went over the curb. My car is a 2009 toyota corolla. About 2-3 months ago, toyota sent me a recall notice for the brakes, much before the nationwide toyota recall hit the media. And now, even after i did recall a few months ago, this is the second time that such a brake-related incident has happened to me ever since the recall.i feel that this accident is related to another brake defect of the newly-replaced/altered brakes, and would kindly ask for it to be further investigated.

Last december in a total loss accident with my 2009 toyota corolla any of the air bag deployed as a result i had stitches on my head.

This is a follow up to a previous complaint. I felt compelled to do so after readingother issues people were having with there toyota corollas (s). I purchased this car june 1st 2009.three weeks after purchase i noticed something was wrong with the paint.i took it to the dealers, the service dept manager looked at it and said it was due to the environment, the sales guy told me it was due to tree sap and the third time i took it the sales manager said it was from bird crap ( it's garaged most of the time).weeks later i was hit by a concrete truck, at first thought it was the trucks fault but not real sure now because of the difficult steering with this car.at the time of the accident there was no air bag deployment.i had the car repaired by a private shop, they couldn't understand why the airbag did not deploy.while my car was there they looked at the paint.i have a black car with large white spots and was told there was a problem with the clear coat and it would cost around 4,000 to fix it.i again went to the dealership and was told this time that's what happens when you buy a black car.i have filed a complaint with toyota and we all know where that has got me.i filed a complaint with the consumer complaint agency and toyota failed to respond.boy, for a reliable care the only thing i can rely on is poor quality and a death trap.i have a dodge and will drive it before this death trap. Good luck trying to do a lane change and looking into the blind spots.i have almost hit cars on my right while attempting to do a lane change more times than i can count.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla.the contact stated while driving 35 mph and then applying the brakes the vehicle did not stop causing the vehicle to crash into another vehicle.

During slow speeds or stopped when i press on the gas pedal to move forward the car's check engine light comes on and i can't move forward until i turn the car off, then back on. This has happened at stop lights, in parking garages, and even on the interstate. Not safe. This is my third time taking my vehicle to the toyota dealership to fix the same problem. I paid $900 to fix the ecu (which they told me was the issue), but the same problem keeps happening. The second time i took it in they fixed something with the brake lights, now the third time they fixed something with a short in the brakes ... The taillights were blinking rapidly? i doubt the problem is fixed and i am very frustrated to pay that kind of money with no refund when the same issue keeps happening. A similar issue happened in a recall with the 2005-2008 corolla/matrix models and they had the ecm fixed with no charge. Sounds like the same problem to me.

I have had my 2009 toyota corolla since day 1. I seen another post in here that is having the same issue as myself. I have had to replace my battery 3 times all because the ā€œwiring harnessā€¯ on this vehicle is faulty. Toyota knew about this beforehand. As customers we put our trust and faith in these big corporations to do the right thing when making these vehicles. We, as customers, shouldnā€™t have to purchase and pay for labor when all while toyota was aware of the faulty wiring harness. This causes more issues than 1 because it controls everything inside and outside of your car.

Driver side power window switch started smoking and i had to take it out to prevent a fire. One of the switches would not operate freely and seemed to get stuck. Thought i was going to have a fire and when i removed it i found components melted. Cannot operate window and it is in open position. Vehicle was moving at the time and i had to return to home and park since switch was smoking.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contact was driving 60 mph when the vehicle began to lose power abnormally. The instrument panel gauges would fluctuate oddly and the power steering, power brakes and headlights all became inoperable. The dealer made two attempts to duplicate the failure and advised the contact to have the battery replaced and that the symptoms would be normal if the battery was the culprit of the failure. The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic who advised the contact to have the alternator replaced. The contact did not inform the manufacturer of the failure nor was the vehicle repaired. The current mileage was 52,000 and the failure mileage was 42,000.

My 2009 toyota corolla, which i bought new in 2009, power window panel, caught fire on december 30 while i was driving it and when i brought it to the franchise i purchased it from on december 31, they told me, it was regular wear and tear and that my car was old and i would have to pay for it myself.

During slow speeds or stopped when i press on the gas pedal to move forward the car's check engine light comes on and i can't move forward until i turn the car off, then back on. This has happened at stop lights, in parking garages, and even on the interstate. Not safe! this is my third time taking my vehicle to the toyota dealership to fix the same problem. I paid $900 to fix the ecu (which they told me was the issue), but the same problem keeps happening. The second time i took it in they fixed something with the brake lights, now the third time they fixed something with a short to the brakes ... Something about the taillights blinking rapidly? i doubt the problem is fixed and i am very frustrated to pay that kind of money with no refund when the same issue keeps happening.

2009 toyota corolla, "s" automatic transmission. The problem was initially identified by me when my car would not catch while on a slope in drive. The transmission would roll back. The dealership said this was normal due to a loss of pressure, however it would do it even if i barley stopped on a gradual incline for a few seconds. This has caused me to roll back unless i had one foot on the brake and one foot on the gas while to keep me steady to start. This happened at from the time i purchased the car. Recently, i my engine has been running really rough and winding at a high pitch while driving. It now intermittently goes between gears and downshifts automatically into gears that are not appropriate for the speeds traveling. This causes a drastic down speed, and example is i will be on the freeway traveling speeds between 50-65 and it will downshift and reduce my speed to 40 mph or less, then i will try to accelerate and it will redline out, as if i am in neutral and i will have no control to regain speed until it automatically pushes itself back into gear, and then increases my speed at a rapid pace, without me putting my foot on the gas. At this point, i am required to place my foot on the brake to control my speeds. The dealership has taken my car back twice and claimed to have fixed it twice based on the reads, but i have had the same problem. The reads on the computer will say that it is an electrical malfunction... However they can not identify where the malfunction is coming from. Parts have not been replaced and no repairs have been made to fix this at this time. Toyota is not assisting with the recall and i am left with lots of shop hours. Thinking about registering for the lemon law about my car, i drive apx. 1000 miles week and my car is not saving, consistent, and is a safety issue since have no control while my car malfunctions. I can only react to what is happening. It also makes a loud clunking sound, and a high winding sound when redlining.

Date: may 4, 2009-i just purchased a 2009 toyota corolla le and have had it for 7 days before having to return it to the dealer where it was purchased due to a wandering feeling in the steering and movement of the car while on the highway. This happened to me on 3 different occasions during the 7 days i had it very scary and unsafe! i thought maybe it was the road, a flat tire, or the wind blowing my car but after 3 separate and different conditions i know it is not just me it is the car and after researching the problem i see many other complaints as well!!!!

Vehicle was stationary in park on level street. All three car door lock actuator failed in a row w/one week period. First drivers, front passengers, and passenger behind driver's door. Noticed issue when locking door with key fob "lock" button to activate car alarm. Car alarm would not activate. Walked back to vehicle to check if doors were locked. Doors were not locked and in the open "red" color position.

1. While driving at approx. 25 mph, the car suddenly lost power; i was able to drive about 2 mph into a nearby gas station. The battery light was not on, but the orange engine light came on. After 5 minutes, the employee was able to start the car and i drove one mile to my home. My repair mechanic did a computer scan indicating possible problems with a switch and suggested that i drive around for about a week before returning. 2. A similar incident occurred 10 days later. I glided into a parking lot, waited 10 min., and the car resumed at regular speed. 3. On 8/7/14, i drove 2 mi. Back to the repair shop at a regular speed. A second scan could not be completed because the car suddenly stopped responding to the repair shop's computer. At this point the car is completely inoperable and must be towed to a toyota dealer. I was advised that i may need a new computer.my 2009 toyota corolla has about 48,000 miles on it. I do not believe that a computer failure is normal within the age and mileage range of this car. Thank you for looking into this issue..

2009 toyota corolla.consumer writes in regards to vehicle console accessory fuse blowing out.when the fuse blew out, he was unable to charge his phone, and other accessories. The consumer stated the fuse was replaced several times.

Both my wife and i have had a failure of the ignition switch in our 2009 corolla to shut off when releasing the key on trying to start the vehicle.

The radio shuts down for seconds at a time - obvious power failure.when the power is restored (seconds later) radio returns to same station.when it happens radio light only goes off then comes back on.usually happens after car is driven about 15 to 20 minutes, then it happens non stop even with the volume down.sounds like a rock is hitting the windshield.it is a very loud, very startling noise.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. While driving 30 mph, the steering wheel seized and the windows failed to function. In addition, the instrument panel lights illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vin was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 81,000.

While i was driving the car started stalling really bad and losing power, the engine light came up and i couldn't speed more than twenty five miles, because the car started trying to shut off on me in the middle of the street again. I took the car to get checked out and the troubleshooting codes came out as being the ignition coils due to the engine harness being bad, (difficult to believe i said ), cables don't go bad like that in florida.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. While driving approximately 40 mph, the abs and battery warning indicators illuminated. The odometer, blinkers, and front windshield wipers failed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the computer failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 87,700.

My toyota power door lock actuators continue to fail, even after multiple replacements. The failure mode starts as intermittent operation, often leaving doors unlocked when using the electronic locking system. Eventually the door lock actuator fails to respond at all. The intermittent nature of the failure onset puts consumers at risk for not realizing the system left their car unlocked, providing an opportunity for someone to enter the vehicle and wait in the car for vehicle owner to return or to have things stolen from the vehicle. Based on the repeated failures, the actuator design or manufacturing process is clearly defective. The repeated actuator failures requires the customer to be vigilant for failures and the pay for replacement, several hundreds of dollars each time,out of their own pocket since toyota refuses to acknowledge an egregious failure rate on their power door lock mechanisms. Cynical observers may note that the failures generate a regular revenue stream for toyota service departments. Thank you for your time.

I have automatic locks and have never had any problems with them until recently when myfront passenger side door would not open from inside or out in the unlocked position.all other doors work normally.i tried using my key to unlock it and that also failed.i took it to the dealership and they said it was a problem with a broken cable which they repaired.it was not covered under warranty.

My 16 year old daughter was driving my 2009 toyota corolla when the power steering went out of the vehicle. She had to steer the car out of traffic and park the car.the alternator on the car had quit working and caused her to loose control of the car.thankfully she was able to get out of traffic without a collision.the reason we bought a new car was to try not to have problems usually associated with older more worn vehicles.

The vehicle would have an intermittent delay upon start up and intermittent power steering "lock up" when making sharp turns.during the power steering failure the vehicle would also lose radio and a/c as if the vehicle was powering down.i took the car to my dealership where i had purchased the vehicle less than a month before these issues. My first incident happened in a parking lot in front of another vehicle luckily, the other driver was paying attention and did not hit me. Another incident happened on an exit off ramp which was a very sharp circular portion of road, the power steering completely went outand i had to "muscle" through the turn, suddenly the power steering was working again which almost caused me to lose control of the vehicle due to me going from using all my might to turn back to the vehicle working properly. My service dealership recalibrated steering torque sensor and found tsb 0182-09 for hard start condition, reprogrammed engine computer and added fuel tank additive per bulletin instructions. I drove the vehicle a few days until once again my car had the exact same issue.took my vehicle back to my dealership for service again.service order states; inspect steering operation found eps will cut out and cause radio, headlights to cut out. Scan check record and flag events. Test and recharge battery pass.open tech line case review data. Zero point and monitor again per tech assist failed after 3 turn. S/o power column assy.

Car was turned off and parked in a parking lot on a normal day, i came back to it turned the car on and smoke started coming out of the power window controls on the driver side, i turned of the car right away, the smoke got worse and then there were flames. I was picking up a friend from work at a car dealership and some people working in the body shop help me put out the fire with a fire extinguisher. The window controls, door handle and door to some extant melted and were destroyed.

Abs and brake light turned on together. This is turning out to be a very common issue which is due to the corrosion of the sensors on the rare wheels. With abs light turned on, the vehicle is incapable of applying abs when required during brake, creating a high safety concern.

Purchased a 2009 toyota corolla on jan. 31, 2009.immediately noticed "unwanted acceleration", the car wanted to go when stopped unless the brake was applied hard and did not slow down immediately when foot was taken off the gas pedal. Gas pedal did not always come all the way up when foot taken off, but would pop up if brakes applied hard. Cruise control did not work properly.mentioned concern several times to toyota service dept.they told me that what i was describing was normal for those cars.the car was in an accident on 12/22/09.hit another car from behind.i think that the "not slowing down immediately when foot taken off gas pedal" was a contributing factor to the accident.there were no injuries but the car was badly damaged.toyota sent recall notice but said vin#'s beginning in j not affected.our car begins with j.recently send letters to toyota and waiting for reply.

While traveling nw on hwy 99 through merced ca at 08:30 am nov. 9, 2014, i experienced a sudden acceleration of my car while in cruise mode going up the ramp just at the nw edge of merced. It continued to accelerate till the rpm gauge was into the red. At the same time, i was very tense, maneuvering in traffic while applying the brakes in an effort to slow down or stop, which heated up until they were barely working. I shut the motor off while in drive and turned it back on a few times and each time the engine went right into high rev mode again. I finally put the transmission into n and shut the engine off and coasted to the side of the road about a mile or so from where the problem started, regained my composure and allowed the car to sit a few minutes. I tried the engine starter and things seemed normal again so i cautiously exited thehighway about a 1/4 mile from where i had stopped. Things continued to act normally so i came back home 18 miles and had no more problems. What do i do with this car? keep driving it this way? take it back to toyota? they did the recall repair for this problem already, yet now this!! very troubling!

On 10/21/2013 at about 12 am i was dropping off my wife and daughter in front of our apartment complex. I was driving a toyota 2009 corolla (vin-[xxx]). The vehicle had a sudden, abrupt and unintended acceleration i pressed the brake pedal it did not stop. It went over a curb in the parking lot and collided with another vehicle standing on the opposite side.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)....updated 11/03/14 updated 8/5/2015

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contact stated that while driving 20 mph, the steering wheel locked, the brakes failed to stop, and the accelerator failed. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for diagnosis where it was stated that the alternator and battery needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 42,000.

Driver's door lock does not lock/unlock when pressing the lock/unlock button on the key fob and pressing the lock/unlock button on the driver's door and passengers door.

Sporadically the car would give the driver the sensation of severe wind buffeting (car would wiggle side to side). This occurred in both od and 3rd (no other gears tested), with all electronics on, then off (radio, cruise, vent, ac, etc.) and both on and off the nys thruway.occurrences did not cause the driver to lose control of vehicle though it made it difficult to keep the car within the lane markings.this condition was not noticed on 55mph more rural roads in which frequent or semi frequent stops were encountered. Our plan is to secure a hero cam in an attempt to record actual steering wheel's (front tires) motion apart from operator's physical steering wheel within passenger compartment. Although no loss of control was encountered each occurrence was not always the same in severity so no assertions are being made as to whether or not this condition could yield a catastrophic failure at highway speeds thus producing a severe accident harming vehicles occupants or other vehicle's occupants sharing the same roadway.

Turned on my 2009 corolla after work and battery light was on. I went to test it at auto zone and they said the battery is no good. I called keys toyota and they said bring it up and they will replace it. I made it about 3 blocks from auto zone and power steering went out and brake light come on and car started to chug. I took this car to the nearest toyota dealership where they informed me that its a bad alternator, power steering, and water pump w battery charging issues. This happened all in like a half hour. Battery light never came on before that day. This could have been very dangerous if this would have happened on freeway. Toyota wake up. What happened to quality? my corolla is not even 2 years old and has just over 30,000 miles and this? the dealership did pay for my rental and is fixing this issue free of charge but 4 things wrong in less than 1/2 hour?

At 89,000 miles, the battery light came on early in the day but i continued to drive it after stopping at toyota who confirmed it was a "battery light."later in the day, while traveling close to home at about 25mph, all the lights came on in the dashboard and the car started to seize up: steering wheel became difficult to maneuver and i could barely get the car over to the curb (it happened within minutes).the car completely shut down. It turned out to be an alternator gone bad.frightening experience but i am glad it happened at 25 mph and not on the freeway earlier in the day, or it could have caused an accident.in the future, i will get all warning lights checked out promptly and not assume that a battery symbol means only the battery is dying.perhaps toyota needs an "alternator light" as well, as this is a serious situation.

In the past year, i have experienced sudden 'jerks' during acceleration on at least two occasions, and had the vehicle inspected twice, in august 2009 and in december 2009. In both instances, toyota mechanics advised they could not identify a problem. Additionally, throughout the past year, i have experienced noticeable problems with the electrical system, which raise concerns about the overall integrity of the electrics. There has been very frequent loss of power to the power door locks and manufacturer's radio. During the inspections, toyota mechanics could not identify a problem in this area either.

All dashboards came on and the vehicle stalled. Also when pressing the brake or putting any load on the electrical system the vehicle starts stalling.it is not consistent and can't be repeated consistently.

I was driving on ca hwy 101 at 7:30pm when i smelled, then saw smoke and flames coming from the driver-side door. Luckily, i had a gallon of drinking water within reach. I poured it on the fire while swerving to the margin so as to avoid collision. I extinguished the fire and disconnected the windows-switch panel.apparently, a short-circuit in the window switches ignited the sound-insulation material that should have been fire-proof to begin with. The fire melted most of the driver-side plastic door cover and partially fried the switches and associated wiring.i found the article 'burning toyota camry/rav4 window switches prompt nhtsa investigation' and many others that explained everything i needed to know about the cause of the fire.the next day i went to my toyota dealer who inspected the car. I asked the dealer to repair the car at no cost to me because, obviously, the fire resulted from an inherent defect. The dealer said he won't repair the car for free. Toyota customer service and legal counsel did not take any responsibility either, and, basically, kept on harassing me over the following 3 weeks with many phone calls requesting that i bring my car here and there at their whim. Incidentally, this harassment caused me to lose my job.i reported that much and more to toyota on their form. Here is what i requested: 1.repair my car and give me a loaner at no cost to me.2.compensate me monetarily, with $10,000, for the extreme 'inconvenience' you have been causing me over the last three (3) weeks.3.congratulate me for surviving a very-close call. Miraculously, no one was hurt or killed.

I am the original owner of a 2009 toyota corolla which i purchased new from a local toyota dealership. I have always had them do recommended service, etc. And have taken great care of this vehicle. In july 2014 my car was making a rattling sound and i took it in for service. At that time it barely turned over and started, although i had replaced the battery in 2013. The car had a faulty alternator and when they were doing service they also discovered a broken water pump. The car only had apprx. 27,000 miles at that time. On 8-9-15 the car barely started and as i backed out the battery light came on and i lost my power steering. I had to have the car towed to the dealership and the problem was another defective alternator! the car only has less than 32,000 miles and another alternator. Although the part was just out of warranty, the dealership covered the part, but i had to pay 132.00 labor and go without a vehicle for 2 days. My family and i always own toyotas and have excellent service from the cars. This one, not so much! now i'm wondering what will go next. I think this will be my last toyota.

Gas pedal problems in a 2009 toyoto corollo. Stated car up increase in idle speed remained longer than normal. 8 march 2010 driving at low speed than for no reason car speeded up.

After replacing the alternator in my 2009 corolla in july 2015. My timing chains and water pump malfunctioned while driving on the highway. I was unaware and so was the mechanic that the timing belts were damaged until after the water pump and serpentine belt was replaced. Due to timing issues from the previous malfunctions, i am now in need of a new motor. My vehicle has all required repairs or maintenance completed as scheduled and my vehicle has not even made it to 80,000 miles.

I own a 2009 corolla that has 108,000 miles. I took it to the dealer for the airbag recall fix, and it also had theengine check light on. The dealer said that the obd-ii code p0354 came up in the diagnostics and the vehicle needed a new engine wire harness at a cost of $2,000 dollars. I did my own research and found this toyotatechnical service bulletinlinkthat describes exactly the problem and also includes my car's vin. Http://alflash.com.ua/refer/t-sb-0379-08.pdfapparently,toyota knew of the wiring harness problem, but they chose to conceal it and fix only if the customer complained. They expected the customer to play detective and find their latent design fault! i have owned five other cars since 1973, one for 23 years, and i never had to replace the engine wire harness!

2009 toyota corollacar suddenly lurched*cwthe consumer stated while pulling into a vacant parking space, the vehicle suddenly lurched forward at full throttle pushing him back into the seat from the sudden acceleration. Even though, he tried to react quickly, the vehicle hit a curb then went over the curb and traveled 3 feet beyond before he was able to stop the vehicle by putting the gear into neutral and hard braking. The consumer exited the vehicle to check for damage, but there wasn't any. He noticed that the revved engine was idling at a normal speed. The consumer didn't believe what he experienced was an accelerator issue, rather a problem with the mpu and control circuit for the fuel and air mixture.

I have a 2009 toyota corolla (le). I bought it almost exactly 3 years ago with about 12,300 miles on it. Currently, it does not have 50k. I have to drive downtown for nursing school, it takes roughly 20-30 minutes. The very terrifying and incredibly dangerous issue that i have been having is that i will be driving 65mph on the expressway and it will suddenly just drop down to 30/40mph. Due to this issue, i have almost been in a crash. I will change lanes thinking my car will accelerate to pass someone and it will just drop down to 30mph! also, while i am idle, it will shake and rev..so the rpm will be up close to 2; yet, i am idle! i have read of others experiencing similar issues. This is so dangerous and i do not understand why this has not been addressed sooner. The worst part is no one knows what is wrong. I took it and had a diagnostic test run, it said one of the ignition coils was faulty..on a 2009 toyota with less than 50k miles...that doesn't sound, right huh. Well, i took it to a mechanic and they gave me a new battery, an oil change and ran another diagnostic test (after switching the ignition coil(b) to another (acord). It recorded nothing. I spent $500 it was fine for about an hour then the check engine light came back on and it started doing the same thing. I am very angry with toyota for not addressing this issue, especially since others have experienced it and it is dangerous. My safety and the safety of others is at risk.

My car has 91,414 miles and has had multiple cylinder misfires with my normal daily commute of six miles each way. Inthree years on a 4 cylinder engine i have had three ignition coils replaced, twice within two and a half years and 10,468 miles on the #2 coil. All repairs have been completed by toyota certified repair facilities with toyota oem parts. This is not normal for a low mileage vehicle maintained with regular service.

Dangerous car to drive. Vehicle drifts hard left when driving in a straight line. Problem is made worse when driving next to a large trailer truck with crosswinds. Car steering has a large loose, dead center feel disconnected to the road. When turning, the power steering does not move the steering wheel to the center. The driver has to manually correct the wheel every time. I purchased the car "new" from the dealer. I still own it today, and the steering is just as bad. In bad weather, the problem is absolutely terrible. The dealer has no solution.

Power window switch on driver side does not function. Glass window noisy when driving

Vehicle lost power steering on freeway,all electronic components shut down and i was stranded on the side of the freeway.the car would not start, after $3200.00 in repairs, the mechanic said the pistons looked like they were from a 30 year old car.regular oil changes, well maintained, this car is not reliable!

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 mph, the abs and the brake lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the mechanic diagnosed that the sensor on the passenger's side rear, and the power assist vacuum system needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 52,800.

My 2009 corolla experienced issues identical to a prior recall circa 2010 for '05-'08 corolla & matrix models regarding engine control modules (ecm) that may have been improperly manufactured. On 3/30/16, the check engine light turned on and my vehicle experienced harsh shifting and struggled for gas. Vehicle was in motion with over a 1/4 tank of gas on a residential street at the time. On 3/31/16, i had the vehicle towed to my local toyota dealership. Diagnostics were run and ecm fault codes were identified. Service associates working on my corolla addressed their concerns and were repeatedly denied requests for a replacement ecm. At one point, i was advised by toyota dealership staff to personally order an ecm unit through the parts dept., insisting that the request coming directly from a customer would not be denied. I attempted to place an order with parts, and that request later was denied. After several re-tests and denied requests for a replacement ecm, my vehicle received a replacement tail light bulb (what i refer to as a "band-aid" fix) and was released back to me on 4/5/16. The very next morning (4/6/16), check engine light came back on and vehicle was brought in. Once again, codes tied to the ecm were identified. After another week of tests, denied ecm fix requests, and another band-aid repair, the vehicle was released back to me on 4/14/16. During this two-week ordeal, i incurred over $540 in rental car expenses and $186 in "band-aid" repairs, despite the fact that ecm issues were identified from the beginning. I have opened 2 cases with toyota customer experience center to address this ecm issue with my 2009 corolla, the prior 2010 recall, and have requested that my vin be incorporated into the recall. So far, toyota has denied any responsibility, insisting that their ecms don't fail, offering no assistance for issues they deem off-warranty/off-recall.

Car had just been started, was departing a parking garage and power steering suddenly failed, followed by engine failure. Car would not start again; battery was completely drained. Alternator had gone bad and was replaced.

2009 toyota corolla. Consumer states issues with screeching noise *tgw the consumer stated the noise would occur, when she started the vehicle, followed by the battery light illuminating. The battery light would eventually go off and then the vehicle would make the screeching noise again. The problem started intermittently in october and one day it completely drained the battery.the battery was replaced and the issue continued, becoming more frequent. When the consumer took the vehicle to the dealer, they informed her the problem was the drive belt, which was replaced. The noise continued and a hot burning smell appeared after the screeching noise. The consumer went to get a second opinion and was informed the problem was the clutch pulley in which a recall had been issued, but not for her model. The consumer then went back to the dealer with the new information and was told she needed a new alternator. The consumer also stated there was an issue with the vehicle idling in a strange manner. The vehicle randomly vibrated and idled very low when stopping at a red light or stop sign.

7.5y old corolla le with 61,000 miles of gentle driving/excellent maintenance, all of a sudden, the alternator failed and the car steering wheel is locked, throwing me into panic. I managed to pull into a bank parking lot at chase bank on 161 w spring creek pkwy, plano. My previous car was 1995 corolla, had same experience. I would never feel safe in these vehicles. I feel these denso alternators may be defective at such low mileage and gentle use. Anyone else have similar issue with denso alternator [model 104210-5480]?

2009 toyota corolla with unintended acceleration.the consumer stated he had not experienced any sudden acceleration problems with the vehicle. However, he did receive a recall notice in the mail and complied by taking the vehicle to the dealer to have the repairs done on february 17, 2010. However, on march 6, 2010, the consumer made a right turn on a street that was curvy and was relatively steep descending toward an intersection. He gently applied the brakes 2-3 times during the descent to maintain a speed of 15-20 mph. At no time did he depress the accelerator during the descent and the engine was idling as the vehicle coasted to the bottom of the hill. When he approached a four-way stop sign at the bottom of the hill, he depressed the brake pedal normally to come to a full stop. Instantly, the engine raced and roared. The consumer immediately shifted the automatic transmission into neutral and turned the engine off. He restarted the engine with his foot on the brake pedal and the gear selector in neutral and it started with the same roar. He turned it off again and waited a couple of minutes. He decided to try one more time and the vehicle operated in normal mode. The consumer also stated since the vehicle was garaged, the doors were barely kept locked. Over the last 6-9 months about once a month when the consumer entered the garage, he discovered the doors were locked. The consumer believed the electronic door locking system was being randomly activated.

The high beams on the headlights come on without the control being touched. This began when i first bought the car & still does. At first it would happen at any time of the day but now it happens only when it is dark or getting dark. This could impair the vision of the driver of an oncoming vehicle. It is most dangerous on narrow streets. There are other electrical problems that occur from time to time such as the cruise control, power mirrors, air conditioner, driving & dash lights not working. Also the dome light has remained on causing the battery to run down .these latter problems do not seem to pose the threat that the headlights do but they seem to be connected & they are a distraction that could cause problems. I have taken my car to the dealer many times but they never corrected the problem.

I had spoken to mike from carson toyota regarding this recall more than 6 months ago. I found out about this recall from my coworker who has the same model and year car as mine. Mike had told me that only a few toyotas were on recall and the last time i had gotten my oil changed there, he told me that my model was not in that recall.. But i did get a letter in the mail. I told him that my coworker told me about the electrical window on the right side. Mike had told me that it wouldn't be covered. I would have to pay about $400 plus for that window that got stuck. Mike did tell me that my vin model was not counted for. I am real upset.this past december, i drove to san francisco when it is raining and windy, this is a real big hazard for a branch to have come inside my car without my daughter being able to close to the window and had poked her arm some how.

The car automatic transmissions shift very hard. The mechanic replaced pressure solenoid valve. I was informed that electronic control module is bad.the symptoms are similar to a volunteer safety recall a0j for 2007-2008 corolla models equipped with 1zz-fe electronic control module. The ecm for certain 2005 through 2008 toyota corolla and corolla matrix models equipped with the 1zz-fe engine and two-wheel drive may have been improperly manufactured. There is a possibility that a crack may develop at certain solder points or on varistors on the circuit board. In most cases, if a crack occurs at certain points or on certain varistors, the engine warning lamp could be illuminated*, harsh shifting could result, or theengine may not start. In limited instances, if cracking occurs on particular solder points or varistors, the enginecould stop while the vehicle is being driven which may increase the risk of a crash.

My ecm constantly have issues with stabilizing the vehicle on a daily occurrence.when it works as it should the car feels stable like it has added weight and the steering is responsive.the ecm in the late 2000s all have ecm problems which is a safety concern since braking, transmission and steering are all affected in some adverse way.the vehicle had a o2 sensor replaced and it still has the same issues, alternator also replaced. I believe toyota knew about this issue with its toyotas and decided not to issue a recall in order to save money.ive been dealing with this issue since a month after i got my car 4 or 5 months after i got my car. The code p0607 along with the p0138 are constantly going off in my vehicle. Sometimes the p0138 will go away but the symptoms of a bad ecm still remain. The car shakes, doesn't stall yet, feels sluggish and hard to keep straight at almost any speed.

My engine light comes on, vsc keeps blinking

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla.while driving approximately 40 mph under rainy weather conditions the vehicle began to hydroplane and was involved in a crash.the contact thought that the electronic stability control should have prevented the crash.a police report was not filed but the driver was injured.the vehicle was towed to a local facility and was not examined for the cause of failure.the vehicle was not repaired.the failure and current mileages were 40,000.

I have experienced great amount of stress due to my 2009 toyota corolla. I experience the car shifting from right to left at high speeds (over 65 mph). I took it to toyota of orange and they tested and legally they can only go 60mph or highway speed-limit. They kept denying any problems with the car, & came back to speak with the toyota representative. I went in 3 times prior to this to see if they could find a problem, she said there's nothing wrong after special 'tests' were done. After that we took it in again and they performed an alignment which helped a little during regular speeds. But i still have the same problem, i recently took it in for the re-call, glad that was fixed, but at 70-80 mph if i shift into another line that is putting my life in great danger! i drive slower but i live in southern california so sometimes its unsafe to be driving at such speeds.i have also been experiencing paint problems with the vehicle, various scratches i don't know where they appear from, and my car is garaged mostly. There also a couple of chips in the paint, i took it in and they just washed and detailed the vehicle, which did help but there's scratches again, the paint seems to be defective.another problem i'm experiencing with this vehicle is randomly maybe once or twice a month when started in the morning (parked in the garage which isn't cold at all) the whole car vibrates horrible, coming from the engine, as if its not held together well. It lasts for around a minute. I took it in to the dealership and they said since its not a constant problem they cant detect but if i leave it over night and if it happens they'll see, of-course it didn't happen they claimed they tested everything possible and there was no check engine lights etc. No signs when the steering goes crazy. Obviously this car is a defectthe reason why i purchased a toyota corolla was because i have no problems with my 2005, and all the other cars i have owned, don't have steering or paint problems.

I have two related concerns about the 2009 corolla s with traction and stability control.it is my belief that there is an unresolved software issue with the abs / stability system.i noticed the first issue at only 6000 miles, right after my second service at the toyota dealer.they performed the brake manifold recall related to nhtsa campaign id number: 09v338000 during that service.the front brakes began to shake violently during braking from 65 mph.it felt like the rotors were severely warped when this occurred.this does not occur every time.the toyota dealer examined the vehicle and they stated they could not find any issues and would not test the vehicle above 55 mph.each time i took the vehicle in for a scheduled service, the problem would suddenly get worse again.they like to tighten the rear brakes each time.i asked them to leave the rear brakes alone and did not see the normal aggravation of the front disk pulsation issue.i do still see severe vibration periodically.this symptom appears to occur most when the ambient external temperature is lower than 2 degrees below freezing and all the lights are fully lit.due to the sporadic nature of the vibration, my concern is that the abs system is unable to keep up or there is a voltage fluctuation with all the lights on that triggers the system to pulse the brakes intentionally.i have found others are seeing the same type of issue and noticed that you have a similar request odi id number: 10359202 from someone that has the same year and model with many identical vin number digits.i currently have the original parts on the vehicle, if you need to inspect them.my secondary concern occurred when i tested the emergency (hand) brake on a long straight road.the stability control system threw the vehicle from side to side violently which could easily cause complete loss of control.this appears to be a software issue due to an 'unforeseen' but plausible condition.

We have a 2009 corolla. The vehicle has been jumping right from the time of purchase when we mention to dealership they have told us there is nothing wrong with the vehicle several times. They don't even document it unless we are demanding it. We have not had an accident as of yet but the spring has been put under the pedal and it still wants to take off at times. It is not consistent but frequent enough to be concerned. Towne toyota refuses to own up to this problem, the date is the first date we experienced it.

Driving on a highway or roads the is above 50 mph, my car steering wheel started to make a unusualmovements ,it feels like don't have any control over the vehicle i recently had a incident, it was a monday morning went i was driving on a parkway about 55 mph went my vehicle star to pull to my right them left and was very hard to stay in a straight line so i stop and call my dealer and have them check it out but nothing have been done to my car.since i buy my car i felt this problem and i took my car back to the dealer three times all ready and they say is a engineer problem and because is a sport car ,so after i read about this issue over the internet i'm very sure i wasn't the only one with this problem. Please i willing to provide my car for a deep inspection because i don't feel secure with this car.

The vsc light, check engine light, traction control light all are on. Cannot get to turn off.

I was currently on 1 and 9 north of jersey city nj. I was on a stop light and when it turned green, the car did not accelerate as much as it was suppose to when you press on gas pedal. It was literally moving 5 miles per hour. I was pressing the gas pedal for the car to go but it was still not even moving up. I turned on the hazards and pulled over. Then the check engine light came on. I turned off the car first. I checked the gas tank and the engine but i couldn't find anything wrong with it. The check engine light was lit until the next day. I brought it to the car dealership and they said they are not 100% sure what is wrong with it but they disconnected the alarm wire to see if that was the problem. The second problem of this car is when you press on the brake, it still moves a little bit. When you start going and pressing on the gas pedal, you have to press on it harder for it to go but it gases up than it normally does. I have recently saw the previous owners receipts for its car service and he had the same problem. He always had to fix the accelerator but until now, it is still the same and still needs to be fixed. I don't know what to do and where to go to fix this problem.

I've had everything fixed on my 2009 corolla regarding the steering, thinkin it was the alignment ,tires,balancing,brakes ,spent alotta money at my mechanic.. Turns out its the steering control unit. At highway speeds my car wanders very bad and i'm afraid ill hit another car.even changing lanes my car trouble sometimes and it is a safety issue. My mechanic and tire guys said this is not safe to drive.. I will be writing toyota and takin my car in to see if the cost my car is covered or not. Toyota was investigaged but noting and were later sured over this issue. Toyota shoud be ashamed for knowing about this issue and refuseing to cover the costs.

On june 6th 2011 i brought my 2009 corolla to the toyota dealer, i lost complete power of the electronic power steering, ac and power windows, after inspection they suggest i replace the alternator at $965 charge, i declined the repair, i bought a new battery and drove the car home i still have not fixed it, i replace the alternator and that did not fixed the problem either, the toyota dealer also suggested to change the water pump they say they change it but i still see the old some what dirty old water pump.

Engine light on.belt fell off vehicle. Engine overheated.waterpump failure.

My wife was travelling on i-270 near columbus, oh on 6/19/2016 afternoon (around 2 pm) in a toyota corolla s 2009. She took an exit 22b at around 60-65 mph and the vehicle after giving brief beeps suffered from an abrupt engine stall. She lost control of the vehicle momentarily as the steering and break jammed. She regained control after great effort and pulled over the vehicle at the roadside. The car did not start immediately but started after about 30 mins and ran properly after that but with some minor vibration post 60 mph speed.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. While driving 55 mph, the vehicle lost power, stalled, and the check engine indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with error code p2103. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 60,000.

Driving on a straight interstate.speed limit was 70 mph.road surface was wet.drove over water, engine abruptly surged, similar to pushing accelerator to floor.front end veered abruptly left. I applied brakes. Car spun backwards. Rear right wheel made contact with the metal cable-type barrier on left side of highway.

Immediately following a cold soak startup my 2009 toyota corolla makes a very loud rattle noise within the engine compartment for approximately 1-2 seconds.it will consistently do this upon cold startup, and is a known defect within the camshaft timing gear assembly of the vehicle. Please see attached documentation for more details, including the $896 repair quoted from the dealer (page 2). It is my understanding that this issue can eventually lead to more serious issues with the engine, and i think it is a shame that the dealer did not catch this earlier/ is now quoting such a high price for repair. It is my hope that something can be done to make toyota better respect it's customer's satisfactions/safety, and take care of this known issue at no cost to it's customers.

Rattling noise from right side of the engine at start up or cold startups.

I was driving and was close to my destination when i hear something go wrong. I park at my destination and i see a pool of what i think was coolant on the ground. It also felt like it was overheating so i did not want to risk the car blowing up so i had it towed. The problem was that the water pump ceased which caused the serpentine belt to also break. I searched online and found this to be a common problem and i am surprised that there have not been any recalls.

2009 toyota corolla, engine will go into a "mode" where it revs up to 2000 rpm on its own. Pressing the gas pedal will not do anything, still stays on 2000 rpm until engine is shut off and restarted, one shop suggested i replace the throttle body ($1400) did and still have the same issue. Also replaced the gas pedal assy. ($35.00 used) still have the same issue. Car may go days or weeks between events. When it happens on a freeway, it is very bad, the car slows and you can not accelerate in any way, you must pull over and shut off the engine and restart to get the car to move. Very dangerous! this has happened when traveling at 65mph and also at 5mph coming to a stop sign.

H first timethe car malfunction i was coming back from returning the rental truck, i was pulling out on the highway and at that time the steering wheel locked up, the battery indicator light come on, abs brake light come on, and rest of the idiot lights on the panel come on. It was very hard to steer the car, will all my effort with two hands i can steer the wheel and control the car. The engine was running really rough and sounded like it was going to quit. This lasted for approximately 20 seconds it seemed like, and then the car started running right now and i was able to steer again and all the lights on the panel went out. I was very concerned about this thinking my car was failing and i knew that there is probably something the matter with it but when it started running right, i figured i just can't fix something that's not broke and really take no notice of it. How my daughter got a driver's license on august the 4th and then on august the 6 you wanted to use the car. So i let her use it. The car malfunction again on this day and and it took out the alternator when it did. So i change the alternator in the car and let my wife use the car for two days because she travels a short distance to work to see if it's ok. After two days of my wife driving and then i resume driving it to work. Didn't appear to be the car was working fine until august 13th, and that's when my daughter erica drove the car again and while backing out of the driveway the car malfunction, she couldn't steer the car the brakes won't work and naturally grown in reverse the emergency brake is not that effective in she ran off the road and damage the car.

(defect waterpump)my waterpump went had a hairline crack..the macanic says the old waterpump molding was off and was too thin around where it connects to the engine.

My car has less then 86,000 miles and the engine is starting to fail which makes no sense to me. It started at around 80,000 miles

Recently noticed the noise comes from engine compartment after start and during driving. During 5k maintenance service, i was notified that the water pump failed and needs replacement. The car was being driven gentally under normal condition at less than 55000 mile and 6.5 years. The repair is not covered by the 10-year powertran warranty comes with the purchase. Had to pay for the repair.

One month after buying my car from another consumer, i noticed the oil was low. I filled full the first day i got it and had not put any serious mileage on it. Two weeks later i start to hear this ticking noise and realized the oil filter needed changed the prior week. Changed it. Nothing happened. This ticking occurs on start up, gets louder with the rpm, and vibrates the entire car at stops. Took my car to toyota the next month thinking it was the accelerator belt or the connection rod bearing plate. They had me pay pay 120$ to take off the valve hood only to tell me i needed a new engine and there was nothing they could do. I did a bunch of research after this and hundreds of consumers have complained about the overconsumption of oil from this year's model leading to the failure of many engines. Toyota still hasn't admitted fault for this and there has not been a recall when there should be. This is supposed to be an 'honest, reliable' company but if they expect consumers to pay 2 to 6 thousand dollars for a new engine that was their fault...i will not support them through buying their products again. Frankly it's sickening to read that after 10 years they won't be on the hook for this faulty product's design. While i understand those were tough times, we are still feeling the 2008 recession through this faulty product and a company that does not hold up to their name.

At 54,000 miles, 57,000 and 59,000 miles i took the vehicle to a toyota service center after experiencing oil consumption, one quart every 1,000 miles or so.i was told this was normal consumption, each time, which i still didn't believe and returned to complain as a matter of record.the car has 74,000 miles on it and it is at the toyota service center exhibiting a knock in the engine. Now, because there is a knock in the engine the oil consumption test cannot be done.i took the car to the toyota center three previous times and no oil consumption test was offered any time i raised the issue.now toyota says they can't perform the oil consumption test, and since the oil consumption test was a requirement for authorized repair/replacement toyota will not honor there warranty enhancement notification - ze7 letter.how this happened, i was on my way home from city driving and within 1 mile of my home and i heard a noise coming from the front of the car.i stopped the car and opened the hood to inspect the engine area. I restarted the car and noticed an engine noise.the car was then pulled to the driveway and hauled to the service center on a flatbed towing truck.i am now waiting for the toyota service center, who told me the car cannot be covered by toyota unless i pay a portion of the repair cost.this is an admission of the problem (guilt), and is not in accordance with the letter i received.the letter clearly states, conduct an engine consumption test to be considered for repair or replacement.how can this be done, when the service center failed to subject this car to the oil consumption on three occasions?i, attempted on three occasions to obtain service and was denied, now i am at fault?it is my opinion toyota is responsible for this repair/ replacement, as there was time to conduct the test and time to avert the problem with the engine.

My vehicle has never had the service campaign for the cam shaft gears replaced. Now my vehicle has 197k miles on it and has been having issues with those gears. I need to know if there is a way to get this paid and fixed by toyota since its a recall. My vehicle is at my dealership in vancouver right now. I can not drive my vehicle.

Driving on interstate and suddenly check battery light and check engine light came on and temp indicated vehicle was hot.pulled over as soon as able to safely do so.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contact stated that while driving 40 mph, the battery and check engine warning lamps illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the water pump pulley as fractured and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance. The vehicle was repaired. The failure and current mileage was 55,000.

My car was running fine until recently, when i had a few services done at the dealership: brake fluid, transmission drain/fill, oil change, and fuel injection service (this last item i did not ask for or approve beforehand). A couple days later, my car began stalling when i was driving (while coming to a stop/ not pushing the accelerator). No cel / overheating/ low oil issues- always regular maintenance. Took it back to the dealer, they said the engine had low compression and they suspected a cracked engine block. They also checked to see to see if my ecm was updated. That was all they said after being there 5 hours. I had to leave for work, brought it back a few days later, they said they didn't have time to look at it without an appointment. A few days later, my car wouldn't start at all. Took it back in, they said they didn't know why it had low compression/ stalling/ not starting because no oil or coolant leaks or mixing, no overheating, etc. Told me the only option is to replace engine. (cost of tearing engine apart to find crack or cracked gasket not worth cost in labor because of car's age/ mileage- 2009 corolla, around 176k). How is this even possible? i suspect that something was not done correctly during a recent service, or maybe they did not update/flash my ecm correctly. Of course, they are not claiming any responsibility. Very frustrating. The dealership manager did offer me a discount on the used engine repairs, but this seems like either manufacturer error or technician error.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. While the vehicle was undergoing an unrelated recall repair, the technician advised the contact that the water pump was leaking and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 81,799.ma 10/22/2015

The water pump seized up while driving and shot the remains of the serpentine belt out of the bottom of the car.the change in the handling was immediate, and i am thankful i was not on the highway.the car is not high mileage and is just out of the warranty period.no injuries, it happened late at night, thankfully no one was around, the jolt did cause me to jerk the wheel a bit.

Car was taken in for oil change at mileage due and toyota dealership stated oil dipstick was totally dry and to check it at halfway mark of miles. Car is not due yet for oil change until about 95,000 miles and at halfway mark oil was already down to last mark on dipstick. Car was taken to toyota and they stated 2009 corolla was not part of limited service campaign of other vehicles exhibiting same problems as my car. Dealer said to just add oil in between changes and i explained that car should not be consuming oil at this stage and they agreed but stated i would have to cover repairs which might cost between $2,000-3,000 because of car not being part of campaign with other makes which were also having same problem with excessive oil consumption at around same mileage. I started oil consumption test so that it would be on record. If other owners are having same problem, 2009 toyota corolla should be included in limited service campaign of excessive oil consumption as it was included for most of the other recalls and campaigns. I have looked online and seen many others with same make model and year with same complaints and dealer does nothing to fix problem.

I do believe the engine is faulty, since i've had my corolla it's always used sooo much oil and it's not leaking a drip. I have several coworkers that have a corolla s and they have the same problem. It's gotten worse to we're it used to much oil it was below the dip stick and before i could catch it, it has messed my motor up. My car still runs but has a very loud rattle in the motor now when it starts because of the oil consumption.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 mph, a loud crackling noise was heard coming from the engine. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure and current mileage was 17,000. Updated 04-03-13 the consumer stated she just found out, there was a problem with the steering intermediate shaft, that was causing a noise. Updated 06/12/14

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contact stated while driving 40 mph, she heard an abnormal noise coming from the vehicle. The contact stated that while checking the oil, she became aware that there was no oil in the engine of the vehicle. The contact stated that there was no evidence of an oil leak. The vehicle was taken to claremont toyota located at 601 auto center dr, claremont, ca 91711, (909) 542-1828, but was not diagnosed. The dealer was informed of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure persisted and required 4 quarts of oil to be added to the engine weekly. The manufacturer was informed of failure. The failure mileage was 1,000.

Dealer did smart stop technology, upon picking up car noticed it running rough. After driving a few miles it seemed to improve. Over a period of a few months and approx 3000 miles engine performance and fuel mileage have gotten much worse, mileage has dropped off almost 10 mpg! took the car in for nysi today and asked dealer about this. Was told by service advisor that the car had to relearn certain functions. Asked how long this should take and was told a few months? i said to them they it has already been a few months and about 3000 miles. To me this is unacceptable. I will give it a couple thousand more miles and see what happens. If i see no improvement i will be back to the dealer looking for answers. Driving habits have not changed from pre smart stop. This is also a highly maintained vehicle and has been serviced at the same dealer since new.

My vehicle started emitting a high-pitched whine noise on 8/17/12. I went to the local toyota dealer first thing in the morning on 8/18/12. The service intake person verified the presence of a whine noise but could not identify its cause, suspecting that it might be the alternator. He could not take car in until monday, 8/20/12, due to a staff shortage. Since i was not told that the car was unsafe to drive, i continued driving it. Late that same day, the vehicle started overheating. I pulled to the closest auto service; they diagnosed the problemand immediately replaced the failed water pump. It is my understanding that this is covered under the powertrain warranty.i needed an operable vehicle andthe dealership was closed at that time. I believe i have a right toget reimbursed for this repair by the toyota dealer.

My engine started making a rattle sound when starting it up. I searched online and found several complaints about this problem. It seems to be a defective cam shaft timing gear assembly, which is no longer covered by my warranty.i am upset that this has not been recalled, since it is a serious concern especially when it deals with the vehicle's engine.i hope toyota will take responsibility for this.there are many people out there with the same problem.toyota already has had several recalls for this vehicle, so why not back the engine?

I was on my way to work drive on the surface street at a speed between 42-45mph when my car suddenly accelerated. I stepped on brakes but i was still accelerating so i had to turn off my engine to get the car to stop. This is the second time this has happened to my vehicle. The first time was about 6 months ago, at the time i took it to a toyota service center and they told mybrakes and carpet was recalled. The replaced both items and told me my car should be good. The second time my car accelerated weeks ago. I called toyota and made a claim with them. They are saying there's no issue with my car even though i had accelerated two in the past 6 month. Both time i had to turn off my engine to get the car to stop. Both time i had to call a tow to tow my car. This is a very dangerous situation that needs to be addressed.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contact stated that the vehicle would make a rattling noise when first started. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and was told there was a problem with the cam shaft. The dealer stated the cam shaft would need to be replaced, but wanted to do a 1,000 mile oil consumption test instead. The contact was concerned because the dealer stated the engine could also fail. The failure mileage was 78,000 and the current mileage was 94,000.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. While driving approximately 65 mph, the steering failed and was difficult to control. In addition, the engine stalled. As a result, a crash occurred. The contact was injured and received medical attention. A police report was not filed. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a salvage yard and was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 95,000.

At approximately 11:00 a.m. On a beautiful sunny day, i was driving on the pa turnpike at the speed of 65 mph when the power steering in my 2009 toyota corolla failed. My car unintentionally veered left and right as if i was encountering hurricane-like strong wind gusts. The car bounced back and forth for approximately 5 seconds, while feeling as if it was floating/hydroplaning, as i attemptedto regain control. My attempts at correcting the power steering issue were unsuccessful and ultimately the front right side of my car crashed into the right guardrail. Fortunately, i was unharmed in this frightening accident and the state troopers and tow trucks responded in a timely manner. No other individuals were hurt and there was only minor guardrail damage. My car, however is extensively damaged. I am confident that this was not a result of driver error or unforeseen weather conditions. One of the state troopers that reported to the scene even commented, "everyone out here is driving the same speed as you and no one else experienced any of these wind gusts.' i am an experienced driver who has been driving this car since i purchased it in 2009, with no prior power steering concerns or issues. My car was well maintained and a week before the accident, i had it at the dealership for an inspection, alignment and new tires.i intend to file a claim with toyota.

Car recently making a loud rattle when start. Toyota refusing to repair a defective cam shaft timing gear assembly. My car is not covered by toyota's warranty, but this defective cam shaft timing gear assembly has a tsb with many complaints by customers who own a 2009 toyota corolla! this is unacceptable and not safe!!! please address asap...i should not be responsible to pay to replace the cam shaft timing gear assembly that has always been defective. Toyota should recall 2009 toyota corolla to repair this problem. Thanks.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. When the vehicle was started, an abnormal noise emitted from under the hood of the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 105,000.

We were driving on a highway while we heard some noise came from the front of our car. We thought we hit some metal, so we slowed down and changed to the slow lane, then the car started slowing down by itself, and the steering wheel couldn't move freely. We pulled over, opened the front, and saw some smoke and some liquid fell down. We spent $300 for towing our car to the toyota dealership where we bought our car from. And we were told that it is the water pump pulley failed that cause the drive belt broke and engine overheated...i was informed that the repair will cause about $4000 for a second-hand engine!! our 2009 toyota corolla was bought new in november, 2008 and only has 68000 miles on it. We just did the oil change at the dealership 5 days after this happen! now the car is sitting at the parking lot of the dealership, we contacted the service manager on the dealership as well as toyota customer experience but have not receive a positive respond yet. They keep telling me that it pass the warranty, however, when i did the research online and found out that not only me has this problem, there are 35 more complain on record about the water pump failure. I believe toyota should do a recall on the water pump and responsible for the repair.

Ecu is defective in 2009 model just like in 2005-2008 model. When it reaches 90,000 it brakes. The car starts jerking and doesn't want to change gears. At home all of us drive toyota corollas and all of them had the same problem at 90,000 mileage.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contact stated that the vehicle made an abnormal noise and experienced overheating while being operated at 50 mph. The contact mentioned that there was smoke without warning. The contact also stated upon inspection they saw coolant leaking. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the water pump experienced a malfunction however a remedy was not provided. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 120,000.

Water pump began to loudly whir after 6 hours of continuous highway driving. 200x miles later, began to rattle. 50x miles later, seized completely. Cost to repair: $70 water pump, $60 labor.

My mother is 75 years old. Here corolla is 6 years old. She took it to toyota on april 23rd, 2015 for the recall of the airbag (spiral cable sub assembly and cable kit) and updated software and install update label (smart stop technology and elsbos update ecm software) to correct the recall issue. She was sent home as it was supposed to be fixed. On friday april 24th, 2015 at 10pm she was driving home from an event at approx 45 mph the vehicle stalled. She took it to toyota the next date on saturday april 25th, 2015 at 11:00 am. Toyota inspected the vehicle and sent her home. On the way the home the same day at 5:26pm she was going approx 10 mph coming through a light and it stalled again. The engine kicked back in and then it stalled again. Her vehicle was running fine until toyota changed out the recall parts. There is something very wrong with this and needs attention. Although there was not accident it was a close call she was almost rear ended. I am writing now because something needs to be addressed with toyota and her car needs to be fixed in the same condition that it was prior to going to toyota.

Back in january, 2018 my engine would knock when i started the car. Took the car for it's scheduled oil change only to find out that there was only a quart of oil that drained. My oil light never came on. Needless to say the engine continued to consume oil. Took the car to my mechanic and was informed that my engine needed to either be replaced or rebuilt. I opted to have it rebuilt. I paid $4000 dollars for this. Got the car back and drove for a couple of days and checked my oil only to find it was down 1 1/2 quarts of oil after only 2 days of driving on basically a brand new motor. I'm still making payments on my vehicle and have fallen behind several times to make repairs to my vehicle. So far in the two years i've owned this car i've had to replace the fuel pump/filter, water pump x2, front wheel bearings, timing chain tensioner, spark plugs x4. This is getting really expensive. The dealership i purchased the vehicle from refused to even look at the vehicle a week later when i complained about it misfiring.

I bought the car in 2008 and the following january 2009 i noticed burning smell from engine. My dad began checking oil and noticed i was out of oil well before my next oil change. Went to lipton toyota endlessly over period of 6 years and would be told the oil consumption is normal, not a problem. In 2013 they said they found the problem and fixed it. All subsequent oil loss was normal. My engine light started to go on ..coils started misfiring but when i putin the oil it would clear out. Toyota said not connected. They began another oil consumption test in september 2016 and now they are telling me that the engine needs to be fixed. Still saying it's not related to excessive oil consumption.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contact that when the vehicle was cold and first started, there was a grinding noise heard from the engine. The contact stated that the dealer replaced the cam shaft timing gear assembly, but the failure recurred in less than 25,000 miles. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was unknown, but the current mileage was 98,200.

Toyota has a tsbfor 2009 - 2010 corolla with the 2zr engine, it is t-sb-0087-09 brief engine knock/rattle noise at cold startup,my car has this problem and needs the camshaft timing gear assembly replaced.i called "toyota care" at the recommendation of the local toyota service manager. Toyota care said my vin number was not included in this tsb and that it is out of warranty. (my corolla was an early 2009 production model, mfd in 2/2008, in service beginning in may of 2008 ( i believe) and that there is nothing they could do to help me.my vin is not included in the range of eligible vin numbers and is out of warranty.my corolla has had the noise for a long time and only has appx. 60k miles on it,it is obviously a manufacturing flaw or error and toyota should recall all 2009 corollas for repair.the website toyotanation and corolland note many owners with the same problem.when the car cold starts it rattles for the first second like there is no oil in the motor, a very loud knock, this also occurs on warm starts after only a few hours of being parked, and sometimes while driving.my corollas has had it's oil and filter changed every 5k miles since new; obviously not precipitated by neglect or abuse.thank you for attention to this issue, sincerely, [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

The transmission hits so hard that it feels like you have hit a speed bump. This happens when you try to accelerate to pass.

I have been dealing with excesive amount of oil consumption since i bought the car and found out that it was consuming oil while doing random checks on the car. After that i looked on-line for solution and found pages after page and website after website of people complaining about the same issue since 2009 to now and toyota not doing anything about it. I since continued checking and toping the engine oil until december when my car started to stall when i stopped at a light. It would try to idle around 500-600 rpm but couldnt and then the engine would bring it up to 800 rpm. I had it diagnosed and turned out my piston rings are the problem. After further investigation online i saw that the piston and piston rings are the problem on the toyota 2zrfe engine and may other engines. I called my dealership and scheduled a day to have this checked when i got there in feburay i was told that my vin doesnt have this issue i explained i am having this issue and was turned away. I called 1800 number and was told that there is no issue and the online is just that people complaining about a problem that doesnt exist. Until april when my engine would not accelerate fast. When i went on the high way with it it felt like my engine power was a 3rd or less becuase i was having hard time accelerating faster than semis who were starting from stand still. Since then i filed a complaint with bbb and attorney general and got a call from "toyota customer experience case #1606030224" and was told by jeffery moore that the kits for the fix are shipping now and to take it for repair on 5/26/2016 and i took the car in a couple of days later and they checked the oil and put stickers on the car and told me to come back after 1100 miles. After two days of doing that i got an email and a call. I called back and was told that they will not fix it and they contacted the regional manage and he said no.

Raddle in the engine. Loose valve

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contact stated that the vehicle was burning oil at an abnormal rate. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 142,000. The vin was not available.

A year after the warranty year period ended and less than 60,000 miles, the water pump and serpentine belt both failed. Under the hood, hot coolant was sprayed all over. The coolant level leaked dangerously low, and engine temperature rose without any check engine light on. The incident happened with no sound from the engine upon starting and driving.

Continuous high pitched whining noise.had to replace water pump.

Engine idle speed causes flutter and stall-like feel when stopping and stopped.vehicle has had all routine maintenance per toyota user's manual.vehicle has had a "tune-up" from automotive shop per toyota's specs.no problems have been found to eliminate this issue.idle speed (rpms) drop below 500 and appear to need adjustment.

Engine hard starts - no starts - or extended starts. Problem is random occurring 2 to 3 times a week. Happens whether engine is warm or cold. This problem has been going on for 2 years now. Toyota can not find a problem with the car.

My 2009 toyota corolla has about 93,300 miles on it.after all the recalls that this vehicle has had, it also has been making noise every time i start it.sometimes it is a loud screeching noise and sometimes it is not that loud.i am sick and tired of all these recalls and i am surprised they are not recalling this problem because from what i have read, many other owners are also having this issue with their 2009 toyota corolla.i will be taking this to the dealership tomorrow to see if they can fix it along with another recall that i got a letter for.there will legal actions taken if this is not addressed properly.

In 2013, we discovered that my 2009 toyota corolla s was using excessive oil.we reported this to our local dealership service department and they added a note to my service record, but nothing was done about it.since we always have our service done there, and i have the oil changed long before it's due, we don't normally check the oil ourselves.however, while washing the car on sunday, 03/08/2015, my husband checked it and had to put in 1-1/2 quarts of oil.on monday, 03/09/2015, i took the car in for an oil change and apprised the service department again of the excessive oil use.they again made a note to my service record.the service tech told me she hada lot of cars in with the same problem and that toyota did not have a fix for it.she said mine was not one listed as having this problem, but it is.she also stated that they had to put in 1-1/2 quarts of oil.i was advised to bring it back in for a check at the next 1,100 miles. The worst part is that my car was still under warranty when first reported.warranty has now expired so if my engine blows i could be looking at thousands of dollars to have my engine replaced!!!!! shame on you, toyota!!! i thought i had purchased a trustworthy vehicle from a trustworthy manufacturer!

My 2009 toyota corolla has the same problem as the recall on 2009 camry. Extreme use of oil. When the time for my 5000-mile oil change my mechanic told me there were less than 2 qts left in the crankcase. Since that oil change, the car has used 1 qt in 2000 miles. I visited the poway, ca. Toyota dealership but since there was no recall on corollas they would not even discuss repairs with no charges. How can it be fair that one vehicle the camry is covered with a recall and another model the owners must pay for the repairs of the same problem the camry had but with a recall didn't have to pay anything.

My 2009 toyota corolla has had an excessive amount of oil consumption due to toyota putting in defected piston and piston rings. This defect can cause engine damage or engine failure resulting in having to replace the entire engine. These other models may also be affected: toyota camry 2007-2011toyota camry hybrid2007-20011 toyota corolla2009 toyota matrix2009 toyota rav4toyota solara 2007, 2008scion xb 2008 2009scion tc 2007-2009

When slowing down from 65 mph the whole car shakes out of controll. This does not happen every time but pretty consistent now my check engine and traction controll light stays lit while the esc light blinks. This has happened now three times over past 6 months.

I purchased the car used 12/3/11 with 12,716 miles.within 6 months i would hear a grinding/screeching noise when starting the car.this would happen intermittently on cold starts.i had to leave the vehicle with the dealership for over a week for them to finally acknowledge the issue.on 7/13/12 they replaced the timing gearassembly and the camshaft gear.to date, the car has only 52,700 miles and the noise appears to have come back.i have checked the battery, alternator and starter and they are fine.i had originally purchased an extended warranty with 6 year/100,000 miles and was told that january 1, 2015 that expired.so, i have a defective car with camshaft issue that returns?i am frustrated because there are many stories of people having this re-occurring issue every 30,000 miles (http://www.carcomplaints.com/toyota/corolla/2009/engine/engine.shtml).i know there is a toyota service bulletin on the camshaft, but feel it should have been a recall.neither the customer service or warranty carrier are willing to work with me and this is dangerous because one can become stranded or blow a rod driving down the street.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla.the contact stated that while driving approximately 25 mph, the motor exhibited a loud grinding noise without warning. The contact continued to drive the vehicle home. The vehicle was not taken for inspection or repairs. The manufacturer was notified of the problem.the approximate failure mileage was 83,000.

After the smart technology software was installed on my vehicle the check engine light came on.with the recalls toyota has been having i felt it was necessary to take my car to an outside entity so i took my car to ntb for a diagnosis and was told that the 02 sensor on my vehicle was failing, the p02420 catalyst was below threshold.the consensus was that when the smart stop was installed that the 02 sensors should of been replaced as well.in addition the codes were flagged shortly after ecu update. Why was this not done as part of the recall?these two go hand in hand.the smart stop recall needs to be recalled or upgraded to include the sensors.my car shutters now when coming to a stop or start, which did not occur prior to the software upgrade. I am afraid to drive it.. I don't know when it will stop altogether and not restart. Will i be on the highway??this was not thought through and rushed into. As a consumer, i am looking at a huge repair bill that i shouldn't have to if the recall was done properly.

Tl-the contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contact stated the vehicle accelerated when attempted to park causing the contact to crash into a church wall. The contact sustained chest injuries that required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 58,000.aw

A 2009 car that was regularly maintained (including regular oil changes) with less than 35,000 miles allegedly needs a new drive train?!?!?!?!!!!

Rumbling noise under the hood coming from the engine ,check engine light is on,at a slowing down speed the carstarts vibrating and makes the rumbling noise under the hood!! unsafe to drive !! car went to the dealer williams honda - several times back to check the code and to fix the problems!! we had to bring this complaint with the management and better business bureau, we are requested a compensationfrom a dealerfor selling unsafe vehicle to us, we complained about this whole matter in details tobetter business bureau, werequested a monetary compensation $500. We are requesting from new york state department of motor vehicles: to help and assist us to collect compensation of $500 from a dealer williams honda that is in elmira new york.

I bought my car in november of 2012 with about 70,000 miles and quickly noticed it burned a lot of oil.shortly after that i received a notice from toyota admitting they had a problem with these engines burning oil. They told me to have my car tested at the dealership.i had the car tested and to my surprise it passed the test.the dealership told me to take the test again after 1 year.the next time i tested the car it failed the oil consumption test by a large margin.toyota refused to now repair the car because i had reached 151,000 miles and the warranty expired at 150,000 miles. Toyota knew all along that the car had oil consumption problems and now they refuse to stand by their product.everywhere i drive the car now i have to carry extra oil with and on long trips its a real issue.there is no excuse for that and we pay a lot of money for these cars.i'm very disappointed in toyota for not standing by their product.

This accident happened in 2011. Vehicle accelerated itself while exiting the freeway. Ended up side swiping the ramp and finally got it to stop using emergency brake. Luckily stopped before crashing into the wall. Toyota investigator came to take edr report but didn't admit the problem of the vehicle. Vehicle was left alone and not fixed for days so they can investigate. I was expecting them to provide answers but i ended up fixing my car with my insurance. They didn't do anything after getting the data out of my vehicle.

I own a 2009 toyota corolla le 1.8 that has defective piston rings which causes the engine to consume excessive oil and it has caused two of the engine cylinders to malfunction.i have read many complaints in the internet of toyota corolla owners who own the same type of vehicle as mine years 2009-2011.they as well as myself have reported this issue to toyota u.s.a. Without getting any satisfying answer from toyota.a toyota representative contacted me today and told me that they do not recall vehicles for repairs unless they receive an order from the nhtsa.my auto mechanic told me that he has received many 2009-2011 toyota corolla customers who have come to his shop to have their engines on their toyota corollas replaced or rebuilt to correct the factory defect of the piston rings on their toyota corollas 2009-2011.i researched in the internet and found out that that many toyota corolla owners are dealing with the same problem with their cars' engines due to the toyota factory defect of the piston rings in their toyota corolla models 2009-2011 and i even read some complaints of 2014, 2015 and 2016 toyota corolla owners.i would like for your agency to pay attention to complaints similar to mine of other toyota corolla owners.i am surprised that there hasn't been a recall issued to correct the factory defect of the piston rings of toyota corollas of years 2009-2011 and other years after those.my car has been driven 137,250 miles and i had kept the maintenance up to date.thank you for your help and i hope something is done by your agency to resolve this matter.

I noticed last month a "brief engine knock/rattle noise at cold startup.it has happened every cold start since last month.i did research on the internet, and found a tsb-0087-09 issue regarding this problem.toyota has since corrected this problems on their 2010 models - but did nothing for the current owners of the 2009 models.with a engine any thing could happen regarding safety!!!i believe it is selfishness on the part of toyota, for what i call a safety issue.the gear in the intake or exhaust is bad in the engine.not knowing what it could lead too for elderly that love to drive these vehicles?!!!it is covered under power train warranty - 3 yr/60k.but this is a known problem defect on toyotas manufacturing end - it should be covered no matter what.more people have this issue, and probably do not complain to this agency.probably never think to - that is why you may not have more complaints regarding this issue (tsb-0087-09).i wish you would address this toyota over in japan.please keep me posted if any thing will come available for the unfortunate consumer!![xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Car was purchased new and has been maintained. Took car to dealership to identify sporadic odd "grinding" noise upon cold start. Was first told it was the serpentine belt. Replaced and next day noise was still there upon cold start. Returned and dealer then stated it was the bendix in the starter. Replaced starter. A month later the noise happened again and squealing from serpentine belt was still occurring. Third trip to dealership and i'm now told that, like many other 2009 toyota corolla owners, that it's the gear in the camshaft. The serpentine belt squeal is from my water pump leaking. Now replacing water pump and camshaft gear. $2000 in repairs that, from reading, toyota is aware of! ridiculous! there should be a recall. If the dealerships state that their technicians are "certified" then they should know of this problem and not have to fix things that aren't broken at my expense!

Car was taken in for oil change at mileage due and toyota dealership stated oil dipstick was totally dry and to check it at halfway mark of miles. Car is not due yet for oil change until about 95,000 miles and at halfway mark oil was already down to last mark on dipstick. Car was taken to toyota and they stated 2009 corolla was not part of limited service campaign of other vehicles exhibiting same problems as my car. Dealer said to just add oil in between changes and i explained that car should not be consuming oil at this stage and they agreed but statedi would have to cover repairs which might cost between $2,000-3,000 because of car not being part of campaign with other makes which were also having same problem with excessive oil consumption at around same mileage. I started oil consumption test so that it would be on record. If other owners are having same problem, 2009 toyota corolla should be included in limited service campaign of excessive oil consumption as it was included for most of the other recalls and campaigns.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contact stated that he constantly had to add oil to the vehicle. The contact informed the dealer of the issue and the dealer advised that it was normal to add one full quart of oil to the vehicle for every 1,000 miles. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The vin was unavailable. The failure mileage was 40,000.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 mph she heard a screeching sound from the engine. The contact noticed smoke coming from underneath the vehicle and the check engine warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact merged to the shoulder of the road and noticed the vehicle had overheated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The mechanic stated the water pump needed to be repaired. The vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.

Driving down the highway at 65 mph in my toyota corolla and the car lost all power and had to quickly pull over to the side of the road. The car was dead and would no longer go.once it was towed to the dealers they determined that the water pump and stopped working for no apparent reason.

My 2009 toyota corolla has over heat problem so i take it to mechanic and they found water pump issue, i replace it. Problem still continue and take it to dealer place and they diagnostic vehicle and came up with few problem which cost me $1187, after they fixed they further diagnostic and said engine needs to be replace and they also said transition could failure down the road and they estimate me another $4500 to replace engine from different car which is has 75000 miles on it.

Vehicles with delco ecm have a common issue where the fuel injectors leak into the cylinder causing engine to loose compression. The lowered compression causes hard start (if able to start at all) and if and when it starts the vehicle emits a cloud of white smoke for several minutes. When vehicle is in drive the engine idles hunts constantly. Engine stalls while driving making braking and steering very difficult and dangerous. Ecm has been replaced but unfortunately the damage is done to the engine and needs a rebuild. Multiple vehicles have reported this issue from 2009 - 2013 toyota corolla ranging from 100 miles - 179,000 miles. It doesn't seem to have any different effect with mileage or maintenance.

I have a loud knock/rattle noise on cold startup on my 2009 corolla. I thought it was the belt. But, after replacing belts on schedule maintenance, problem still persist. On several occasions, the engine would start but running in abnormal sound with constant big vibrations. Looking up online to see if this is a common problem for the 2009 corolla, i am surprised this is wide spread problem and that toyota knows about it and even issued the repair the bulletin. According to the bulletin, this noise was caused by the defective camshaft timing gear assembly, which affect 2009-2010 corolla and matrix. I don't know how any other owner will have the same problems, and that someday it might cause big accident when the assembly failed while driving on the freeway. I could not understand why toyota did not issue a recall when they knew there is this problem on the parts. I sincerely hope nhtsa will investigate this issue.

Car would not start, kept cranking, some times would sputter. After 10 minutes or so of repeatedly trying finally it started but sputtered severely for about 30 seconds then rev up normally. Drove to dealer. Had to pay for diagnostic fee of $110 + $10.95 for efi cleaner. Learned symptoms were as stated in tech service bulletin tsb-0182-09 where engine control module (ecm) would cause the engine to misfire terribly. Fix was to have program update and reflash ecm.the efi cleaner added because misfires may foul fuel injectors. Dealer said they would be nice and not charge me for the reflash /update of the ecm. There should have been no charges at all. I hear 8 years warranty on ecm-what does that include, only flash updates and not diagnostic fees? four recalls and now this. What's next for my 2009 corolla with <14,000 miles and just 7 months out of warranty. Shame on toyota.

This car burns oil at a ridiculous rate.

My car is a manual. I was driving about 25mph when in between 3rd and 4th the car engine revved up to about 5k or 6k rpm. I tried to just hit the gas but it wouldn't go back down. I did not release the clutch.i had to turn the car off and restart it so it wouldn't do that again. It happened again after that and i did the same thing by restarting it. I noticed a different pressure in the gas pedal with my foot during this occurrence. After the second time, it did not occur again. This is the second time this has happend. It happened about 10,000miles before. This happened at about 101,500miles.

Even when the car was new i always noticed that there are times when i am slowing down to stop and put on the brakes, i feel the car surges before it stops.we complained about it that time when the camry/lexus floor mat incidents were in the news.i think there was a recall for that and our brakes were fixed by the dealership.but the problem persists to this day.i also feel an engine surge on my sister's new 2013 corolla.

Started engine, then while idling a loud squealing noise appearing to sound from the power steering, upon close observation notice coolant fluid all over the serpentine belts and the alternator. The batterywould die and water residual all over the place all indication points to a busted water pump from the mechanics. The car only got 70,000 miles. Have 5 months left on car loan and no money for repairs and don't know if engine still works.

While driving on interstate 395 in connecticut the engine died.i was able to coast over to the side of the road and after multiple tries the car stated.i drove a little further and the engine died once again while i was driving.i was able to start the car and get it to my mechanic.the engine error code stated that 2 of the 4 starter coils failed.the mechanic replaced the 2 starter coils and the car drove fine.after the car spent the night in my garage it would not start again.i had the car towed to mechanic and he replaced the crank shaft sensor.the car again ran fine for 1 day than after the overnight in the garage the car would not start.at the recommendation of my mechanic i had the car towed to valenti toyota in westerly. Ri where i purchased the car.they kept the car for a week first stating that the computer was bad and needed to be replaced.i pointed out that toyota had a recall of computers in 2008 corolla and since my car was built in 2008 did they use the same faulty computers?they stated no and would order a new computer and have it the next day.i received a call from the dealership stating that toyota would not release the part to them and they would be dealing with the regional parts engineer.after 4 days and still no computer valenti toyota called me back and stated that all 4 starter coils needed replacing and that the car is running now. The charge for the repair was $768.52 (customer #20437 and invoice #tocs275417) this does not make a lot of sense to me as i have never heard of a company not releasing parts to its own dealership.my question is did my car have a faulty computer and is this a cover-up?why would the car engine just stop when driving at a speed of 60 mph?luckily i had no one behind me and was able to coast to safety.

I am the owner of 2009 toyota corolla. I have to press my brake pedal hard and almost all the way down to make my car to stop. I called my dealership about the problem but the dealership want to charge me $89 to look at it. I called toyota customer service line but got no result. I am also smelling burning odor coming from my vents when i turn the heat on. I called the dealership and all they want is to charge me money to look at my problem.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla le. While driving at 35 mph, the vehicle abnormally accelerated and drove over a curb. The vehicle proceeded to accelerate yet the contact was able to stop the unintended acceleration. On a separate occasion while reversing, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact was unable to get the vehicle into gear until he had someone manually push the vehicle. The vehicle was repaired yet the failure persisted. The vin was not available.

Bought brand new (3miles) corolla le on friday, jan 2, 2009. On jan 5, while making a turn into a parking lot, the car completely "froze": no steering, no acceleration, no braking possible. All dashboard lights came on. I came to a stop (luckily, the parking lot was semi-empty); turned off the ignition, restarted the car. All dashboard lights were off- but the "check engine" stayed on. Called the dealer who recommended bringing the car to service for a check. Drove there (7 miles)- the "check engine" light remained on the whole time. The mechanic said that "the engine light doesn't come on". Was given the car back (after road test by the mechanic and, presumably, a computerized check) and told that "there is nothing wrong with the car". Feel completely unsafe driving the vehicle now.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. While the contact was driving approximately 15 mph making a left turn, the engine completely stalled. The engine warning indicator illuminated. The engine would not restart. The vehicle was coasted to an authorized dealer where the engine coil was replaced. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer on three different times for the identical engine failure and they were unable to locate a problem. However, during the three failure occurrences the vehicle would restart after numerous attempts. The technician stated the replacement of the starter and ignition could possibly correct the failure. The parts were unavailable at the time of the complaint. The vehicle would be repaired upon the parts arrival date. The failure mileage was approximately 16,000.

Well, there was a very loud rattle noise when starting engine (cold engine)i took car to puente hills, catoyota dealership as they told me it was a camshaft gear assembly known issue in the toyotas 2009. They charged me about $179.00 for labor as the car was still under warranty. The problem continued and goes away once in a while, but continues after all.i just took car back to same dealer, as they told me that it will cost about $872.15 to fix problem. I would like to know if there's a recall or any other legal remedies i could take in this matter.

Oil consumption problems on 2009 corolla made first oil change at 3111 miles now 5031 miles oil is barely showing 2000 miles in 7 months where is the oil i feel toyota has fudged by using 0w-20 to 5w-20 to pass cafe standards for fuel mileage or they have ring problems a new car should not lose this much oil something is wrong and i don't want to see car damaged by there engineering failure.

2009 toyota corolla.consumer writes in regards to water pump pulley disengagement and need for third set of tires on vehicle. The consumer stated he heard a noise coming from under the hood, followed by a sound of something hitting the highway. He gradually slowed down and pulled to the side of the road, raised the hood and discovered the flywheel for the water pump sitting on top of the engine. He walked back up the highway in an attempt to locate what fell from the vehicle. He gathered what he found and wasloose under the hood, and had the vehicle towed to the nearest service center and had a new water pump installed. While at the service center, the brakes were serviced and a new set of tires were recommended because they were cupping. The consumer took the vehicle to another establishment to have the tires inspected. Firestone, informed the consumer the left front and rear tow was out of alignment and they adjusted the left front to correct it, but informed him, they could not make any adjustment for the rear, as there was no guarantee given that the alignment issue was the cause of the cupping. Within a week of having the new water pump installed, the consumer began to hear a clicking sound from under the hood, so he took the vehicle back to the repair shop, to determine the cause of the clicking sound.

2009 toyota corollacar was recalled for brake problem.when i have the below problem, the brakes will not stop the car.engine revs up for no reason when the car is stopped.in my case, all engine speed ups occurred when i was stopped, and my foot was on the brake.it has happened about 10 times since i have owned the car.the last time it occurred, i was stopped at a stop sign, and the engine sped up and forced me into the intersection, where i ran into the side of a pickup.the engine has sped up when i first started the car, and the car was in park, and my foot on the brake.toyota has looked at my car and said there is nothing wrong with it.toyota said that i had an after market floor mat on the drivers side and that is a no/no. When the engine sped up with me driving, there was no mat on the driver side floor, except the toyota mat and it was restrained by the clips.do car manufactures ever look at comments made my their customers?in my case,i was told no.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contact was driving approximately 45 mph when the vehicle began to lose engine power and the vehicle would not respond to the contact's attempts to accelerate. The vehicle then stalled as the contact coasted off the roadway. The contact was able to restart the vehicle, howeverthe check engine warning indicator was illuminated. The vehicle resumed normal for a short period of time before the failure recurred. The failure would recur intermittently. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where they informed the contact that the failure was related to the engine harness.the contact did not feel safe driving the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was unavailable.the failure mileage was 40,161.

I was driving home from a dallas cowboy game with my grandson on a rural road. The car suddenly lost power and lights starting flashing. It almost came to a sudden stop. I had no steering control for a short period. The enginewarninglight continued to flash. I was able to drive home at about 25 miles per hour. I called the dealer in abilene texas and was told to have the car toed. They could not or would not tell me what had happen. They did tell me that they got it to repeat what i had happen, but did not know what caused it. If this had happened sooner while on a busy highway, i believe there could have been a serious accident. I believe this is a computer problem with the cas. The car only had 5000 miles and i was not compensated for the towing as promised.

My daughter and son-in-law while driving in their 09 toyota corolla, experienced uncontrolled acceleration; on a straight piece of dry pavement, causing the vehicle to shoot into the oncoming lane (a condition known as torsional steering by some)on a 2 way traffic road striking a car in the oncoming lane and thus causing a major accident.there were only slight injuries.though the wheels were pointed straight ahead, the car veered left as the car uncontrollably sped up.my son-in-law states that his foot was not on the pedal.the action initiated after he depressed the pedal to accelerate along with other traffic.the car was repair by the insurance but still has the original problem.it has only done it the time that the car was involved in the accident and my daughter and son in law have been reluctant to use it since the accident so thus we have not had the experience recur.yes the original part is available and still on the vehicle, though toyota is scheduled to either repair it or replace it soon.

Gas intake pipe cracked so warning light shows on dash. Toyota won't fix as past the three years from date we bought it, wonder if a fire could happen?

2009 toyota corolla.consumer writes in regards to claim form for installation of the re-tuned ecusettlement was denied due to vehicle ownership. Notice of denied claim records indicate consumer is not current owner of vehicle.

Bought used 2009 toyota corolla (5 speed manual clutch) vehicle in mid 2011. Noticed that the gas pedal, brake and clutch are oddly very close, and gas pedal seems to stick, which seems to cause error in shifting/ acceleration/ de-acceleration, especially when using in between gears. Not sure what that is all about, or whether or not there has been a prior complaint about this or recall, but i think it should be brought to the attention and fixed by toyota for safety reasons.

2009 toyota corolla. Consumer states several problems with vehicle *tgwthe consumer stated the vehicle maintained speed of travel even after his foot was removed from the accelerator pedal. Travel speed decreased only after the vehicles regular brake had been removed.there was a spike in the rpm under normal driving conditions without change in pressure applied to the accelerator pedal. Also, there was erratic idling while the vehicle was in park without the consumer touching the accelerator pedal. The consumer continued to experience problems with the accelerator pedal after the recall was performed.

When i start the car the engine noise alternated between high and low. The rpm was fluctuatinga lot even though the car was only being heated.

2009 toyota corolla 4 cylinder engine automatic transmission.when you press the accelerator pedal in the 2,000 rpm range there is an audible whistle coming from the engine.in the lower rpms there is no unusual sound and that same goes for the higher rpms, but every time the rpm needle goes through the 2,000 rpm it whistles.

When i stopped at a stop sign, it stalled and has done so on several more occasions since. I also had a problem on the freeway when i was going about 65 mph and it pulled back like it was going to stop but then finally went back up to speed. I just bought the car on 8/31/11 from a car dealer. I went on the toyota owners website to register the next day and noticed that the previous owner had a stalling problem as well and had it looked at and nothing was found.

I have had this corolla for about 3 years, average about 700 miles per week - drive it daily.i have had no significant issues with it until the past month or so in which i have experienced two "sudden acceleration" events.in both cases i was traveling at a very low speed, about 10 mph or so in parking lots.while coasting / braking with my foot on the brake pedal, suddenly it was as if the brake pedal turned into an accelerator pedal!i felt all of the back-pressure the brake pedal normally has leave and it went almost completely down to the floor.at the very same instant the engine revved and began to accelerate and the car "leaped" forward.in both cases this lasted only a few seconds then things went back to normal.there were no indicator lights on the panel warning of anything wrong.in both cases my foot was clearly on the brake pedal and nowhere near the accelerator pedal.i visually inspected the floor mat and there was absolutely no interference between it and the accelerator pedal.this car has already had all of toyota's "recall" remedies applied to it and could be easily ascertained by examining the maintenance records at butler toyota of macon, georgia.i would like it if someone could examine the car's computer (not the toyota people for obvious reasons)to see if these events were recorded or not.until now i have liked this car very much in every way. However, considering all of the recent reports and now my personal experiences twice i am very much concerned about the car's safety.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. While driving approximately 15 to 20 mph while making a left turn the vehicle stalled. He was able to coast onto the emergency lane. He restarted the vehicle and it began to function normally. He drove approximately 5 miles and the vehicle stalled again. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who stated that they could not duplicate the failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer at least seven times. He called the dealer a couple of weeks ago and they advised him that he would have to pay for a diagnostic test. While driving approximate 65 mph with the cruise control activated the vehicle began to accelerate. He engaged the brake pedal and the vehicle slowed down. He took his vehicle to the dealer for a recall repair and they did not replace the floor mats. The contact was unable to provide a vin.the approximate failure mileage was 40,000 and the current mileage was 50,000.

Our 2007 toyota corolla has a failure in the air conditioning system.after the winter, the a/c was turned on and it would not cool.freon was put into the system and it cooled down again.however, a hissing noise was coming from the car after putting in the freon.turns out there is a leak in the air conditioner's condenser.the tsb on the 2003 - 3005 corolla indicated there was a problem with the air conditioning system.supposedly, toyota corrected this problem on future corolla's, but evidently there is still a problem with it.we are having the condenser replaced.

When driving on i-355, many dashboard lights went up and car temperature is very high too. It is a brand new toyota corolla (<2000 miles). Had to tow it to the dealer and was told that a rodent chewed up ac and coolant tubes. Never heard of it. What a lousy design or parts that attract rodents.

Bad smell (like pee) at the beginning when the fan is turned on.nothing is changed after the cabinet air filter is replaced.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contact stated that whenever the brakes were applied from 5 mph or more, the vehicle would vibrate abnormally. The contact stated the vehicle would act as if it were attempting to stall. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure and the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 12,600.

Car would not start. Towed to dealer. Car started @ dealer. Advisor said the same thing has happened to five other cars in the last 30 days.

Vehicle stalling when making a quick deceleration from over 40mph to 15mph or to a complete stop.engine dies, check engine light comes on, and electrical continues to function.car restarts with no problem.this has occurred 2ce in the past 2 days, once the engine was cold, within 2 miles of start, the other occurred when engine was warm after driving 10 miles on highway, and slowing down quickly to pass through electronic toll booth.toyota dealer checked vehicle, could not duplicate, nor did the system store any codes or event conditions.

Excessive oil consumption ( 1qt. Per 1k)for 09 toyota corolla.

Approaching red light, car in neutral, right foot depressing brake, left resting on clutch, and car was slowing down when engine revved (watched tachometer needle jump).as engine revved i checked to make sure that right foot was not near gas pedal (wasn't).this was second occurrence of the engine revving when gas pedal was not engaged.apparently there is a recall for this defect.i am not an automotive engineer.gas pedal will be modified by dealer within the week, but both times my feet were not near the pedal when the rpm's increased.

I own a 2009 toyota corolla that has had numerous incidents of not starting.the vehicle will not start after sitting for a period of time, however, it will start after numerous attempts to do so.this vehicle was purchased brand new in april 2008.i have had this vehicle in the shop on three separate occasions with this same issue and they tell me they cannot find a cause for this.this has also happened four other times that i did not take the vehicle to the garage since they informed me they could not fix it if it would not repeat the behavior.the occurrence is very sporadic and there is no way to know when it will happen again.the last time it was in the garage they placed a fuel additive in the gas tank to fix the problem... Still no resolve.

I purchased a 2009 toyota corolla in march 2008. Since the purchase i've had an issue of a rotten egg sulfur odor emitting from the emissions exhaust systemand into the car cabin. The problem has known to occur while accelerating the gas pedal and coming to an idle or stop. It occurs during town driving, inclines, highways speeds, and upon starting vehicle.i have returned the car to the dealer 4 times for this issue. Thedealer from whom i purchased the vehicle stated they couldn't find or duplicatethe issue.toyota tech performed evaluation of components related to fuel trim and possible related performance. The dealer stated they found no bulletins or related issue with the toyota tech data system. I was also informed to try another brand of gas..i took the car to a second dealer after discovering engine consumed 3 quarts of oil.they performed a tsb0145-08 2zrfe engine oil consumption reflash concerning the ecm. I was informed that this may resolve the sulfur rotten egg odor or that the catalytic converter needed a break-in period.during the winter of 2010the rotten egg odor had become worse. To be more specific the vehicle cabin area filled with an intense rotten egg odor after restarting the car upon driving up an incline. I took the car in for service with the same complaint and they performed a repeated technical service bulletin for excessive oil consumption. They stated exhaust system seemed ok.. Toyota recommended a different grade of gas. I was informed by the service advisor that gasoline contains more sulphites in the winter and may be the cause..since purchasing this car i was diagnosed with a lymphoma cancer a year later to be exact. This has been an on going issue. I've tried several brand gasolines and grades as they recommended.i've been in remission from the cancer for a year now and no longer driving the car for the fear that the car is a hazard to my health. Also, i have prior lung condition called copd.

Ever since i purchased my 2009 toyota corolla i have noticed steering difficult.i read blogs at the time and it seemed from what i read, that this was just a draw back of the car, so i let it go.i feel i need to report it now. The steering feels way to responsive to even the slightest hand movement of the wheel, or bump in the road.because the suspension on this model is so stiff, a bump in the road can cause my hand to move a tiny bit, resulting in the car moving much more than one would expect from little movement.the best way to sum up the problem is this; it is near impossible to just go straight, or hold the wheel still for a second. You have to constantly move slightly to the right or the left just to keep in the middle of your lane. Going around curves smoothly is difficult as well.if it is windy this problem is 10 fold, and down right dangerous.i have already skidded off a snowy highway because the car so easily fish tailed while trying to correct my steering. Luckily there was no damage, had there been vehicle in the lane next to mine, there would have been a horrific crash. In my 17 years of driving i have never fish tailed before.the alignment and tires have been checked and are fine.i had the brake recall done before the above mentioned incident. There doesn't feel to be an alignment issue. The car does not pull.the steering just seems far too sensitive, this combined with it's odd aerodynamic response, and bumpy ride make the steering feel very unsafe at times.even when it doesn't feel dangerous, it is tiring to have to constantly adjust the wheel right and left just to keep it in lane.i've never had a steering issue like this with any other car.there is also the overwhelming smell of sulfur in the passenger cabin several times a week, seems the catalytic converter doesn't handle it well.took it to a dealer for the sulfur issue and they said that's normal.makes me light headed at times, on top of just stinking up my new car.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla which was purchased brand new. Immediately after the vehicle was purchased while driving home the dealer at speeds of less than 60 mph, there was minimal resistance in the steering wheel. He had to continue moving the steering wheel six inches back and forth and from left to right in order to keep the wheel straight while driving. The manufacturer was contacted and advised him that there were no recalls for the failure. He experienced the "loose" feeling in the steering wheel intermittently every time he drove the vehicle, especially in windy weather conditions. There were no repairs made to the vehicle. The manufacturer would not offer any assistance. The failure mileage was 50 and the current mileage was 33,500.updated 04/13/10. *ljthe check engine light illuminated on four ocassionss.

When the car is turned on, it has a foul order, particularly in summer, when the windows have been rolled up. It seems to be coming from the ventilation system. We do not use the recirculation button, as the fresh air seems like a better idea since the ventilation system already smells foul. The smell upsets my stomach. We have tried replacing the cabin filter, and that did not help. We have also used products like febreeze all over the car, but that is only a temporary help.

I own a toyota corolla year 2009 which is subject to recall for the gas pedal and the floor mat (as per toyota website) i have scheduled an appointment with my dealer hudson toyota on 03/12/2010 to have it fixed. When i got there, my dealer refused to service my car claiming that the parts have not been provided yet by the company. Please advise me as to what should i do . Thanks

We purchased a 2009 toyota corolla last spring from coleman's toyota in rockville, md.in august, we had a frightening experience.the temporary driver's floor pad became loose and crept over the accelerator, making it necessary to stop the car and remove the pad.at that time, we had not heard or seen any news about a recall, but were told by our coleman's salesman that we would have to pay $200 for front seat floor pads that would be clipped on the floor.he said toyota did not consider attachable floor pads standard equipment in the price of a car.he finally sold me attachable pads for $40 on sept. 18, 2009.we have not had a problem since then, but we wonder why nhtsa would allow a car dealer to sell any car without firmly placed floor pads are part of the sticker price.it is now feb. 12, 2010, and we have not received any recall notice for the accelerator problem.my wife is frightened to use the car on any major highway.

We have a serious nighttime driving visibilitycondition. The auto manufacturers are now making headlights with plastic lens which tend to darken in a relatively short time thereby inhibiting nighttime driving vision especially for older people who need more light than a younger driver. It in my opinion should not be tolerated. The manufacturers should be compelled to go back to glass lenses for safety reasons.

I have a 2009 toyota corolla with a serial number starting with a "j".toyota told me my car isn't part of the recall.i have experienced two occasions where the accelerator pedal has been stuck.once when the car was in park about two months ago and i though it was the floor mat so i switched out floor mats since my car was not part of the recall.then on sat, 3/13/10 i was merging on to the highway and i pressed down hard on the gas pedal to speed up because a car was beside me.all of the sudden the pedal was stuck and i continued to speed up when i let pressure off the gas pedal.i put my foot on the brake and the car wasn't stopping.thinking i wasn't pressing hard enough i put both feet on the petal still not even slowing down.finally, i shifted the car into neutral and could still hear the engine revving but the car slowed down quickly.thinking that i was imaging it when the car slowed enough i shifted it back to drive and it took off again without pressing the gas pedal.i quickly shifted it back into neutral and was wondering what i was going to do and i heard a loud pop or snap with the gas pedal and then the car was fine.it stopped accelerating on it's own without me turning off the car.i checked the floor mat and it wasn't stuck.i called the toyota dealership and they are looking at the problem but said they have been instructed not to fix anything if they can't replicate the problem because it's not part of the recall as the car i have was made in japan.i also called the toyota general line and reported the problem.my concern is that my car won't be fixed as the warranty runs out at 30,000 miles and i have 29,000 miles on my car and the recall doesn't cover my model.i am nearly certain that toyota hasn't recalled all of the car affected because it's not the specific gas pedal that's the problem as my car doesn't have the identified gas pedal.the problem isn't related to the gas pedal.i don't think they know what the problem is.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. She noticed that whenever she added fuel to the gas tank, the fuel gauge didn't register that it was full. The computer chip failed to register the correct amount of fuel that was in the vehicle. She took the vehicle to the dealer three times for the failure. The dealer stated that they did not locate a failure and she should avoid adding fuel to it's capacity. The dealer also stated that if they take apart thegas sending unit they are not sure it that would determine the failure; therefore, no parts were replaced. The failure mileage was 1,000 and the current mileage was 17,200.

Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)2009 toyota corolla-vin# [xxx]. On 02/13/10 i brought my car in for the recall with the gas pedal,they installed the accelerator reinforcement bar installation. I idd n ot have a gas peddle promble but brought the car in because of the recall. Since theni now have a problem when i come to a full stop and push down on gas pedal to go my pedal gets stuck i need to press hard to get it moving which i never had this before.i called toyota today about this problem and i have a appt. March 11/10 to check it out.

I was driving my 2009 toyota corolla. Once, prior to the event in question i had briefly noticed a lack of acceleration.i pressed on the accelerator and nothing happened.the car just quit moving forward.no noise or anything. But, in a few seconds, i tried again and it seemed normal so, i decided it wasjust my imagination.then, in jan /feb i was coming home from the gym (thankfully not on the freeway) about 9pm on a city street traveling about 30 mph.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. But at that speed i did manage to stop.i called 911 and the police stopped 3 lanes of traffic and pushed me to the side.i waited an hour for aaa and had the car towed to the toyota dealer.it took them a whole day to decide it was an electronic problem and to "fix" it.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.icouldnot live with the anxiety of having another (in my mind) electronic failure.i am one who is convinced the toyota problem is electronic and not related to mechanics.i now have a ford.thank you for your attention.

I have a 2009 toyota corolla. It accelerated while i was waiting for the traffic light to turn red to green. The rpm shot up so i put in neutral and then the rpm rapidly shot up to the red mark so the turn off the engine and parked it at my work since evening of 11/05/09.

01/02/2014 at 7:15am:vehicle idled normally for approx 15 minutes while i cleared snow from driveway.i entered vehicle, put my foot on the brake and shifted into reverse.accelerator suddenly went to full throttle.i managed to shift back into park and the engine rpm increased to red-line level.i shut off the ignition and the engine stopped.i re-started the vehicle a minute later and everything seemed to be fine.i checked the floor mat which was not close to the accelerator pedal. At least 4" away.my foot never depressed the pedal.i am a mechanical designer and i am convinced that this was not a mechanical issue.i never experienced any accelerator issues previous to this event.i am scheduling an appointment with my local dealer to look into this.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. While attempting toaccelerate from a stop, the vehicle was extremely slow in accelerating and would not pick up speed. The check engine light illuminated on the dashboard and the vehicle was taken to the dealer. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure and advised there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. On a separate occasion, the fuel level indicator failed and the vehicle was taken back to the dealer. The dealer advised there was water in the fuel tank and would need to be repaired. The vehicle was repaired accordingly and the failure did not recur. In addition, the vehicle would also exhibit a sporadic 'bump' while driving. The dealer advised the transmission was misfiring. The vehicle was not further repaired. The failure mileage was 2,457 and the current mileage was 5,700.

I pushed on the gas pedal to pass another car . When i did the gas pedal started accelerating to a higher and higher speed.i keptpatting on the gas pedal with rapid hits ,until it finally un stuck. It finally released but it took some effort. My next step would have been to turn off the key. The rpm's on the motor went very high.i new if i put the car in neutral i would have blown the motor. The rpm's would have red lined for sure.it hasn't done it since but it is frightening to say the least. I know for a fact , the floor matt had nothing to do with it !!!! period!

I bought a 2009 toyota corolla in nov. 2008.i have complained to the dealer that the steering was loose(floats in and out of lane) hard to drive.also about mpg 27 highway.i brought the car in for inspections on four occasions.i was basicly "blown off"

2009 toyota corolla - 14,000 milesfebruary 8, 2010tried to start car.it was firing up but not turning over.turned key off.it was still firing up.it stopped within a few seconds.this happened several times the same day - unable to start the car. February 9, 2010 - in the morning, tried to start the car - it fired up but did not turn over.kept firing up when key was turned off.tried again and it started.took it to the dealer and they cleaned the fuel injectors.question - could this be related to the accelerator problem?

The car speed variable when i try speed up became slow or sometimes it speed up one time it stops in the middle of rail crossing and completely stop then i moved out and the car pushed up other side and the car accelerated not working properly nod the fuel system also i have big doubt about this car!

After filling the gas tank and driving up a hill the check engine light (cel) came on and the engine ran rough. I nursed the car up the hill and drove home. I found the gas cap was not tight even though it had been clicked one time when the tank was filled just a few minutes earlier. A search for this on the internet revealed that others have had this same problem. I tightened it to one click, of course.a few days later i bought a toyota gas cap at a local toyota dealership. This sequence repeated multiple times; cel turned on, engine runs rough, lose of engine power. In one instance i was passing a car on a four lane highway when the engine hesitated and the cel turned on. In another instance i was turning left to go slowly up a steep hill when it happened again. In every instance the gas cap was loose. It happened once when i started the engine in a parking lot. I've come to the point of checking the gas cap to be sure it was tight every time before i start the engine.in early 2015 i bought another new toyota gas cap at a toyota dealer. It's now march 31. This same sequence of events... Cel comes on, engine runs rough, lose of power for about 15 seconds... Has happened about 12 times with this newest gas cap in less than three months. I always tighten the gas cap to the first click as it should be. This can be dangerous if it happens when we need maximum engine power, as in passing.a search on the internet shows that others have had this same problem. Comments on buying new toyota gas caps at amazon show that still others are struggling with this. I can understand fair wear and tear on the "o" ring in the cap. But when two new caps come loose after being clicked as instructed then something is not right. Mechanics at the dealership don't have a good answer for this.

I was driving back home and slowed down with the intention of stopping at a traffic intersection. My brakes did not engage at the normal level of pressure that i use, and i had to press it all the way down. When the brake was slammed all the way down the brakes did engage, but the engine started revving up and the rpm meter was to its maximum. I did not take my foot off the brakes because i knew if i did, the car would have travelled at 120mph. I immediately pulled the handbrake lever up, changed the gear to park, and switched off the ignition. I am just happy to be alive today, and am very thankful for my presence of mind. I immediately called a tow truck and towed the car to the nearest toyota dealership. We did take the car to the dealership a week back to do a software upgrade and a couple of other recalls, and the unintended acceleration that i experienced happened a week after that. Toyota after their investigation concluded that the brake and the accelerator were engaged at the same time. They are essentially saying that my 5.5 shoe size foot was both on the brake and the accelerator pedal at the same time. I did look at my foot to make sure that it was indeed on the brakes when the car was revving up. So i can say with 100% certainty that my foot was only on the brake and the brake pedal was slammed all the way down. Like in previous cases e.g. Oklahoma court case, toyota is blaming the driver when in fact, the software responsible for throttle control was clearly shown to have over 85000 bugs by expert testimony given in the oklahoma case. If not for my presence of mind, i would certainly have been dead yesterday, and i am still in shock and awe recovering from the incident.

Gas intake pipe cracked so warning light shows on dash. Toyota won't fix as past the three years from date we bought it, wonder if a fire could happen?

My car is a 2009 toyota corolla which is on the recall list.i had gone to them two day before the actual recall, because each time i would encounter a down slope or go down a hill, my car would sound like it was idling up and grinding as if it wanted to take off.it had been service a week before this happened; however, the sound of my brakes scared me so i took it back in twice.they still insisted nothing was wrong with it.then, i took it back the next day after the recall, and i was treated very rudely by the service people as well as the service manager.nothing has been done since then.i drive it daily with a prayer, because i was told that if my vin number begin with a "j" it is not on the recall list.however, i am very afraid or paranoid about driving it daily and especially on rainy days.when it rains my brakes squeak and sound as if they or letting out air or a balloon being rubbed against your hand.i have called several times and received no response.i have never had any problems with universal toyota until now.i was a faithful customer who has had six toyota cars that i thoroughly enjoyed, but this situation has cause me to consider other options.i am unsure of the actual date, but it was definitely the day after the recall.

Please i need somebody to help me with my case with toyota.i had an accident back to july in my toyota corolla 2009. I hit someone house with my toyotabecause (accelerator and pedal were stuck and i lost the control of the car. I didn't know what went wrong not only i'm a woman and i don't know anything about"mechanic, pedal ... Etc. Whenpolice came i tried to explain to them what cause the accidentthey told me that if i don't stop lying i can end up to jail.so the house owner sued me i went to a lot of procedure of lawsuit. I never knewthat could happened to me.three days aftercourt, i received the recall letter from toyota. I drove my car to toyota i found out my car has 2 recalls ( accelerator and pedal). Please help me. At least toyota can pay the woman that sued me and my medical expenses.

My son was driving with my daughter in the passenger seat of our 2009 toyota corolla. Started the car; with foot on the brake, changed from p to r, released the hand brake; at that point, the car took off down the driveway, crossed the road and hit the tree on the neighbor's yard and stopped; damage to rear fender and trunk. My daughter noticed that my son had his foot on the brake but the car wouldn't stop till it hit the tree. I had the car taken to toyota dealer to be tested and fixed. Toyota ran some tests and informed me that they do not think this was caused by any defect in the car. But they will not provide me with a copy of the report nor can they explain how their test could deny what was witnessed by the person in the car.

During a routine inspection at the toyota dealership on 3-29-16, a cracked cv joint boot leaking grease was discovered (59k miles)this is the 2nd occurrence for me, the 1st on my 2010 corolla just a few months prior. Loss of grease will eventually result in failure of the cv joint & disconnecting from the hub assembly resulting inloss of propulsion and pose a potential safety hazard. Itwould seem that such a critical component should not fail so early in the vehicle's lifespan.

A 2009 car that was regularly maintained (including regular oil changes) with less than 35,000 miles allegedly needs a new drive train?!?!?!?!!!!

When parking on a slight incline in 2nd gear the car rolls backward.

While driving to get onto the expressway, the car downshifted. When i got up to speed, it downshifted with a heavy jolt and a bang, the dealer told me the problem happened because of the small motor trying to catch up to the torque converter. This happens regularly. On a trip to the bonneville salt flats, i couldn't see how fast the car would go. At 95 mph the transmission slammed back and fourth in and out of gear. The car dealer checked my car and one of theirs. They both did exactly what i said. They said they suspected a design flaw, but the car wasn't dangerous. Updated 02/14/11

Toyota corolla s 2009 transmission/clutch issue / electric steering wheelon wednesday, march 20th, 2013 at 86000 mi. Experienced same lack of acceleration transmission problem after i purchased in 40 month at 79,000 mi. Right after i started the engine, no acceleration / no shift. Terminated the driving immediately. Restart the engine, it accelerate normal. However, an engine light came out. I drove more than 80 miles to willsonville toyota in or where i had a full diagnosis in early march this month (changed transmission fluid/first they denied that it is transmission maintenance free).service manager witnessed engine light but refused to diagnosis right a way even though i had addressed this transmission problem last december to toyota japan, us and willsonvill toyota. Service mgr failed to check the code for engine light which they could have find the cause. Engine light disappeared in a day. Called toyota executive office twice. No respond for last 3 days. Nhtsa advice toyota customer to call toyota headquarter.steering wheel issue also remains. It locks, difficult to turn the wheel.. Last .5 min -1 min. Then return to normal. Steering wheel issue continues.dealer requests to bring in over nights to duplicate. However, steering locks after engine start for less than several seconds. How they are going to diagnosis is it only last several seconds?by the time they put in the shop for diagnosis, it is already normal. Nhtsa is advising to toyota customer to call toyota. Past history on transmission issue at 79000 mi: engine light came out but lasted one day. Fail to accelerate more than 10 - 15 miles /hr. Never shift it up to and go faster.stopped engine.restart engine again after 10min. Low speed of 10-15 miles. Restart engine again, and picked up the speed to normal. Engine light disappear in a day. I was concerned and it happened again. Toyota ignored.

Tsb 0087-09 march 13, 2009 came out shortly after production of the 2009 model and due to the many complaints it appears they quickly included it in the powertrain warranty (6 mo/60k miles) rather than do a recall.this is a problem that is detected on a cold start, so many users will ignore it, thinking it's just a squeaky belt, and used car buyers will get taken because you can't detect it if the seller has started the car and it doesn't occur until the next day after you've purchased the car.toyota slid under the radar on this one. It's a pricey repair that i've been told by a few mechanics that only the dealer should handle.i strongly encourage you to pursue a recall.this is not a part that should have problems.in fact, the dealer said they should go 250k without major problems.it's not just the '09 corolla.it is widespread, and if you google this, the web is filled with complaints for several toyota models.please let the consumer know you're being vigilant and investigate this overlooked issue.

2009 toyota corolla, manual 5 speed, while in 1st or 2nd gear, on a slight incline will move forward or backward.toyota's solution was to apply the emergency brake.i'm appalled that my car while in gear can travel two parking spots and hit another car while i am not in the car.i would like to have in writing that toyota says that this is the way they designed their car.

2 recalls that i have received through the mail. Im afraid driving on the freeway as they mention that when the light show on airbags 6 sections we can get into an accident due to airbags bursting out.

I took my car for a maryland state inspection. It was found by a licensed state inspector, that the left front axle shaft cv boot prematurely wore, and was split open and actively leaking grease.

After decelerating into a left hand turn there is hesitation of up to 3 seconds or more after depressing the gas pedal down to accelerate again.only happens on left turns. This is an automatic transmission on a 1.8 l 4 cylinder 2009 toyota corolla. This is a recurring problem that seems to be getting worse. Car only has 31k miles- mostly city driving - i'm retired / don't drive much.

My light came on 80.000 milesand i was informed it is the shift solenoids vale p2757, what was replaced, and right after taht the code came on again p2757 with a differend diagnostic.shavings from the transmission and i need a complete new transmission. There are no available only through the dealer 2 in houston rebuild no new ones . Can you check in to the problem. There are a lot of colmplains on the websites

The transmission hits so hard that it feels like you have hit a speed bump. This happens when you try to accelerate to pass.

The transmission grinds as it shifts into 3rd gear with the clutch disengaged as a result of a defective synchro ring.after a quick search online, this appears to be a common problem with the particular transmission on my '09 corolla s.the problem was first described in a 2010 toyota technical service bulletin (t-sb-0282-10), but toyota did not extend the warranty despite the fact that the synchro ring in my particular vehicle was apparently doomed to fail at some point unless the lock ball spring strength was increased to reduce stress on the 3rd gear synchro.for anyone who didn't show symptoms before their warranty expired (like me), they were just a ticking time bomb.

Car parked on dry, level surface.driver started car normally, put foot on brake, shifted into reverse to leave parking spot, eased onto the gas, and the car went forward. Stopped the car, double checked the gear shift was firmly in reverse, eased on gas again and, once again, car went forward.this forward lurch drug the bottom of the car over a concrete barrier.car stopped to inspect damage.when car started again, everything functioned normally.

Transmission slips in and out of gear while traveling at consistent speeds on roads and freeways with little grades. While in commuter traffic where the transmission is constantly engaged the transmission does not grab and engage every time.

The car violently jerks out of drive into neutral for no reason whatsoever. This happened on more than one occurrence and a case was opened by our local dealership with toyota who claimed that "a transmission cannot fail in one of those cars". The module on the transmission was re-calibrated once, as required by a previous service bulletin. I was told to come back when the vehicle slipped out of gear again. I did not feel safe in this car, so i traded it in at the first option i had.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contact noticed a grinding noise most of the time when she depressed the brake pedal. She took the vehicle to the dealer who stated that they could not find anything wrong with it. The failure continued to occur and the dealer turned the rotors to remedy the problem; however, she continued hearing the grinding noise. In september 2009, she took the vehicle to the dealer who replaced the brake pads and rotors. She no longer noticed the noise; yet, the brake pedal extended to the floor with a sudden pulling and grabbing motion. The dealer told her that the abs activated which caused that feeling. She also stated that the vehicle would suddenly accelerate on an intermittent basis. In december 2009, the driver crashed into a brick wall when the vehicle suddenly accelerated. There were no injuries. The dealer took pictures and told her that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle.

I have a 2009 toyota corolla xrs and living in northern canada. During extreme temperatures in the -30 and above while driving at 50 km/hr or higher clutch pedal will stiffen to the point that at sometimes it will hesitate to return to position and will pop back and clutch not engaging right away causing slippage at that point. I have also noticed that the brake pedal stiffens during this time, i know that the clutch and brake are on the same hydraulic system. Clutch pedal will begin to loosen when driving in traffic or stopped for extended periods idling, as i believe this is because there's not much cold air blowing through the front of vehicle at slow speeds as it's warming the slave cylinder. As it was doing this at one point i pulled over and checked the temperature of the slave cylinder and it was extremely cold to touch. I am concerned that this could lead to premature clutch failure or even worse an accident. I have reported this to my local dealer and there are going to investigate it further.

My head restraint in my car pushes my head down so i can barely see out the windshield to drive.which government idiot came up with this brilliant idea of redesigning the head restraints so they stick out so far.does he even drive a car?the government has never done anything right, and this is just another example. Stop figuring out your excessive pension plans and all the vacation time you have, get off your buts and fix the problem you caused.i think everyone should send their chiropractic bills to you clowns.

Toyota corolla 2009.i have owned this car for over one year, and i must say that the design of the front headrests is flawed.very uncomfortable and not ergonomic at all.the headrests angle forward (and are not adjustable), pushing the driver's head/neck 45degrees forward.there is no reason for this, and it gives me neck strain,and puts upper chest in closed position, promoting poor posture, breathing and view of the road.the 'active restraint' feature is supposed to push the headrests even further forward in case of a collision..i suspect a neck injury would occur in case of collision (head snapping forward past 45degrees).

The drivers side"sinking seat" problem started when i first bought the car in 2009.at that time, the local toyota dealer was coughlin toyota in newark ohio 43055.coughlin told me they had no fix for the problem and never heard of it before.the drivers seat can be manually adjusted up or down by hand.there are 20+ positions up or down.short people need the seat position to be all the way up in order to see over the dash board and hood for safe visibility and vision when driving. Tall people would want the seat position to be all the way down.i am short, 5' 6" tall. I need the seat to be all the way up for safe vision over the dash board and hood.the "sinking seat" problem occurs when the seat gradually goes down several positions on it's own.i believe this is a design defect by toyota, not a user caused condition.this problem covers several years of toyota production.it has been reported by others on google.i have local friends that have the same problem with their corollas.today, 9-5-2013, i again reported this problem by on line email to toyota corporate for a solution.here is an exact copy of my report to toyota:"my 2009 corolla has the wide spread and chronic safety problem of "sinking seat syndrome" with the driver's seat. When will toyota have a fix for this chronic safety problem? my local dealer, coughlin toyota, has no knowledge of the problem or a solution. This problem is very common on the internet (google). Some of my local friends have the same problem with their corollas. I normally have all my corolla maintenance done at the local ford dealership for fast service and quality work. Unfortunately, ford is not familiar with this specific design and safety problem. Can you help with a fix? if you just refer me back to coughlin toyota for help, i am in big trouble"

I purchased a brand new toyota corolla 2009.since the date the car was taken from the dealer, the passenger seat keeps sinking lower without touching anything.this causes the mirrors to get out of focus since the position of the driver's seat changes, causing a hazard when emergent lane changing is required.i have taken the car to the dealer over six times.they deny there is a problem and have not taken care of the problem.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla.immediately after purchasing the vehicle, the contact noticed that the headrest positions her head at a downward angle, which causes neck pain.the dealer attempted to adjust the headrest, but was unsuccessful.the contact was informed that she could actually turn the headrest backwards; however, this was not recommended.the manufacturer stated that the headrests were designed in that manner.the contact decided to turn the headrest in the backward position so that she would not be in pain while driving.the vin was unknown.the current mileage was 1,080 and failure mileage was 630.

Attached is letter submitted to toyota 7/22/08i recently purchased a new 2009 toyota corolla from west herr toyota, orchard park, new york on may 16, 2008. I immediately took a road trip from ny to pa, approximately 6 hours of driving.i am writing to you today to report my dissatisfaction with the front headrests in the toyota corolla.i am an exercise physiologist and have worked many years in the industrial rehabilitation field.i have a previous neck injury from years of doing gymnastics.the current front seat headrests are angled at 35% forward flexion, which may be positive in a crash test to prevent neck injuries, however, it is not conducive for comfortable driving and proper ergonomic for seated positions.by the time i arrived to my final destination in york, pa, my entire right arm was numb and aching. I brought this situation to the attention of my salesman at toyota (bill bitterman) he suggested that i contact your department directly.he also tried to replace the headrests with an older corolla headrest, they do not fit into the anchor holes of the seat.since then, i took the smaller back seat headrest and moved it forward to the drivers seat.it is more comfortable than the previous headrest, but it is looks awkward and is not safe.also, i moved the front headrest to the back, it is too large and causes visibility issues.my request of you is to?#1. Consider changing your design for the headrests so they do not forward flex at such a great angle to avoid many additional customer complaints in the future.#2.send two new front headrests for the front seats (gray interior) that fit appropriately and at no charge to me.i am aware of how powerful the ?voice of the customer? is and i hope that you take this letter of concern seriously.i truly do like all aspects of this car, except the front two headrests.shawna r.

My 17 year old daughter got into a car accident on 01/27/2021, she pressed on the brakes but they did not engage causing her to hit another vehicle on a neighborhood side street

The contact owns 2009 toyota corolla. The contact stated that while driving 25 mph, the driver depressed the brake pedal and the vehicle erroneously accelerated then crashed into a parked vehicle. There were no injuries. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for inspection. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 43,000.updated 04/03/13*ljthe consumer stated she was traveling east at 25 mph. As she turned into her cul-de-sac there were two parked cars on the side of the road facing each other. She moved to the left to avoid them . As she applied the brake to reduce her speed, as she was near her turn, there was a sudden jerk in the steering wheel, quickly pulling the vehicle to the right into the left rear of the first parked car.she had no control over the vehicle. It then moved slightly away from the first vehicle and then the vehicle went in the direction of the second car. The consumer then hit the other vehicle. The consumers right tire blew out and the rim and wheel were in the extreme right position that appeared greater than the wheel would move.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contact was driving 40 mph over a bridge when another vehicle veered extremely close to the contact's vehicle. The contactcrashed into the vehicle and the vehicle then abnormally accelerated.the contact abruptly applied the brakes however, they were unresponsive and the power steering assist then suddenly failed. The failure caused the contact to lose control of the vehicle and spin uncontrollably until the vehicle flipped twice and came to a halt.the vehicle was extremely close to falling off the edge of the bridge. The contact sustained severe bruising to the chest and a fractured left hip. A police report was not filed. The vehicle was destroyed. The vehicle was inspected by the contact's insurance company but they were unable to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacture was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 23,000.

Abs and brake lights came on. The mechanic tells me that both rear abs sensors are bad (codes c0210 and c0215). This is a toyota corolla 2009 le with only 81k miles and i hear the same problem exists in some friend's cars. We have lots of snow in cleveland area and it is ridiculous not to have abs working because of this problem. Looking at discussion groups, this sounds like a recall to me.

I was leaving the drive thru to park my car and wait for my food to come out. I made an immediate left followed by an immediate left to park in a handicap spot. I pressed the brakes and my car didn't slow down at all. I kept pressing it and nothing happened. My car went over the concrete block in front of the handicap thru bushes and finally stopped when i hit the corner of the building i pulled the car into reverse and pulled the e-brake. Thankfully i was pulling off so i was going slow and no one was hit and i didn't break through the glass but, i turned my car off for about 20 mins to clam down. When i turned the car back on it operated as if nothing happened. I dealt with recalls when the car first was out but, i didn't see any recent ones pop up but, looking through other complaints i see that some people are having the same experience. I called up toyota so many times in regards to my breaks and nothing ever came of it every single time they told me nothing was wrong they didn't feel or hear anything or see anything. Clearly something is wrong scared to drive my car but, i really do not want to purchase a new car. Its crazy to be having issues like this. Now i have to get my front bumper fixed.

Foot removed from accelerator and car accelerates upon applying the brakes, happens frequently and causes concern when parking or approaching a vehicle stopped in front of you, lengthens time to stop---vehicle was purchased just prior to date of first incident.

On jan. 6th, we hit a deer about 10 miles from home, and through our insurance had the car taken to a local body shop where it was fixed. Repairs were made and a few months later the abs & brake light illuminated and wouldn't turn off. We contacted the insurance and they told us to take the vehicle back to the body shop, where they would send to toyota for repairs. Toyota informed us that the abs actuator was bad and needed to be replaced. For insurance purposes, the body shop ordered a used lkq abs actuator. Two parts were ordered, the first one being incorrect, and was installed and we picked up the car. A few months later, to avoid being in a car accident, i slammed on the brakes and noticed the car pulled harshly to the left. I thought nothing of it until my spouse had slammed on the brakes to avoid a car pulling out in front of her, the car locked up, then started to skid to the left almost causing her to crash into the vehicle she was trying to avoid. We took the vehicle to toyota to assess the problem, again, it was the actuator. Another lkq used actuator was purchased as per our insurance gmac, and it was the incorrect part. The correct part was ordered the 2nd and 3rd time, but both were damaged and unusable. Gmac finally allowed the body shop to order a new part via toyota. This is the 6th actuator that was installed and we picked up our car on aug. 30th 2013. The next day, i decided to slam on the brakes to test if they were working accordingly, and was surprised to discover that they pull extremely hard to the left. I don't feel safe driving the vehicle and really hope that the problem can be corrected. If the body shop and toyota had realized the extent of the repairs from the beginning, the vehicle would've been considered totaled, the car is worth approx. $10,000. The total of all repairs done so far to-date since the accident are approx. $9500.

I was merging onto traffic heading west on i-10 in houston. The cars in front of me suddenly stopped and i started applying the brakes hard when there was at least 10 feet distance between my car and the car in front of me. I was merging at peak traffic hour and was not more than 40-45 miles/hour speed. When i applied the brakes, the car refused to stop and i hit the vehicle in front of me. I applied the brakes hard such that any other car would have skidded the tyres. This car just plain refused to stop and i ended up in a wreck which caused extensive damage to my car and now am having to go through insurance. I have driven other similar cars and their brakes are a lot more effective. I am currently driving a rental car of similar size and their brakes are highly effective. I do not know if this is related to an early recall about brakes on the car, but i have been prompt about getting all my recalls fixed in the car.

Toyota sent me an undated notice of a limited service campaign to install smart stop technology. When i took my car in for the installation, toyota said i first had to have an inspection because i had actually experienced an unintended acceleration though there was no damage or injury. Despite my daily phone calls, they have yet to schedule that inspection and to install smart stop, leaving me without a car because they tell me not to drive mine until smart stop is installed.

The front brakes produce a very loud rattling noise, whenever the brakes are applied and its almost as if the car is not going to stop and cause an accident. I am afraid the brakes are going to completely fail one day and cause an accident. When i took it to the dealer for a checkup, the dealer indicated that toyota is investigating the noise, but it might be too late before they do anything. Please help by investigating this issue.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contact stated that the abs warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnosis and the contact was informed that the spiral cable would need to be replaced. The manufacturer was not notified. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 80,000 and the current mileage was 84,000.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contact stated that the abs warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The mechanic stated that there was a manufacturer campaign to address the failure and that the rear wheel bearing harnesses needed to be replaced. The manufacturer issued four technical service bulletins on the brake system, but there was no recall. The vehicle was not diagnosed by a dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 69,638.

Several times while driving my car one day the abs kicked every time i would apply the brakes.there was no snow or rain on the road.it felt as if i wasn't going to stop, which is very scary with a 4 month old baby and 4 year old in the car! i took it into the shop right away.the shop looked at it and immediately called toyota to see if there was a recall filed yet on this.he saw another car this year with exactly the same problem.he said the sensors have been contaminated.he found corrosion in the connections of both rear wheel speed sensors.which would require replacement of both wheel bearing/sensor assy's and connectors to get the system functioning again.my repair man said i could have ended up going right through a light or stop sign.

First incident occurred on same day the vehicle was purchased.this writer noticed that when coming to a stop the brake would occasionally make a grinding sound, but not the same sound as worn brakes or rotors; the sound was as if it struggled to stop slightly.every day from the date of purchase if there was even a slight bit of precipitation, when this writer would press down the brake, the brake would go on and off very quickly as if the abs was kicking in unnecessarily.this occurred at all speeds, ranging from 5 mph and up.for instance, on one occasion, while writer was driving carefully in the snow at 8 - 10 mph with only an inch on the ground, writer was behind another vehicle by approximately 3 car lengths and coming to a stop sign.writer began braking and the brakes went on and off quickly and grinded a bit.due to this, the vehicle slid all three car lengths and was within an inch of hitting the vehicle in front.this writer learned about the recalls today, and is contacting dealership tomorrow to see if they will take care of the issue.

After reading other brake complaints i'm realizing that i have had the same problem since i've had the car. Any bit of precipitation causes the brakes to lock when barely pressing them to slow down (not stop). It happens at just a few mph or higher. They lock to the point that the car jerks to a stop at slow speeds and slides several car lengths at higher speeds. I have learned to pump my brakes before placing the car in drive.

The break stopped working. I had almost gotten into a car accident. Fortunately, i hit aclose donation metal container and was able to stop the car.i have my car checked out by a mechanic and the issue is not related to break pads and/or rotor.it is a due to a manufacturing related issue; hydraulic:power assist:vacuum. I have stopped driving the vehicle and i would like to get it towed for a recall service to darcars toyota dealer in silver spring md where i bought the car. This model and year is under recall for breaks but not in the state of md or dc.

My wife has experianced brake fade, brake failure and inconsistant braking with her 2009 corolla. I have notedthat this seems to be related to temperature, humidity and warmup of the operating system. The situation was briefly improved after the previous recall for the brake boostedr problem but returned in 60 days. Toyota seems to not care about this issue

2009 toyota corolla - gas pedal sticking problem while on the family driveway traveling at about 5 miles per hour, car rapidly accelerated forward after i removed my foot from the gas pedal.pushing the brake down as hard as i could the car continued traveling forward crashing into my daughter's car, then pushing her car through the right side of the garage door & through the house wall completely damaging my daughter's car (totaled) destroying the garage door while smashingdown that portion of the house wall.and then further inside colliding into a large dryer & washing finally coming to rest against an inside house wall beam & concrete.my daughter was almost hit as she was on the other side of the wall when the cars crashed through.we've always maintained that it was toyota's fault as it was without question, a case of unintended acceleration--the car rapidly accelerated forward on its own, but toyota insisted it was not the cause of their car.toyota, at my cost and our insurance company, state farm, made all the repairs to the car--toyota refused to take liability for involvement with the cause of the accident.so there we were, who could refute mighty toyota'they were the premier car company & they made almost perfect cars.obviously with their 2nd recall in a matter of months that image has now been somewhat dispelled.in speaking with toyota today i was advised that my corolla would not be included in their recall as i was advised that the pedal assembly in my car was manufactured in japan by nipo-denso and not the pedal assembly involved with the so-called sticking gas pedal problem, as that assembly, was manufactured in the united states by cts.while i appreciate what toyota stated about different assemblies, i can state unequivocally my car accelerated forward even though i was pressing the brake pedal the hold time while the car raced forward.no one incurs such damage pressing the brakes.i would ask for your review and comments

2009 toyota corolla - japanese builtabs/brake warning lights at approximately 31,000 miles.1. Diagnostic computer indicates trouble codes c0210 (speed sensor failure) and c1238 (plug to right rear wheel assembly).plug to abs sensor and terminal repair kit work at 32, 126 miles.2. 2nd diagnostic computer reading indicates "inactivity with left rear abs sensor". Abs/brake warning lights again .in addition, lights are now accompanied by frequent loud noises in the engine compartment, significant vibration though the brake pedal, momentary partial brake failure.3. Return for 3rd inspection of both left/right rear wheel hub assemblies.mechanics again reinspect, clean and apply electric grease to both rear abs sensors and road test the vehicle.same issues reappear after only few miles of 3rd repair.mechanics now determine there is too much corrosion in the right rear abs speed sensor connection in theright rear wheel hub assembly for the abs speed sensor plug to connect securely and the right rear wheel assembly must be replaced.this is an expensive part at $372-$443 retail plus labor for either japanese/north american built corollas.the accompanying loud noise in the engine compartment has been determined to be the separate but associated abs module within the engine compartment.the defectiveabs speed sensor/rear wheel hub assembly in the right rear wheel causes incorrect readings by the abs module in the engine compartment,incorrectly assuming there is wheel slippage at certain wheels and "causing the abs module to go haywire" in attempts tocorrect what it thinks is wheel slippage.this appears to be a common defect since similar complaints have been filed; see "consumer complaints/odi case numbers 10381428 (2/10/11) and 10320698 (3/18/10).

While driving our 2009 toyota corolla on a slick, snow-covered roadway, a vehicle in front of my wife stopped rather quickly.she was traveling about 15-20 miles per hour, upon braking, the anti-lock brakes kicked in and seemed to completely disengage the brakes.the anti-lock brakes fired slowly, the pedal strongly resisted being pressed and the car kept on going, she had to swerve into a gas station to avoid rear-ending the vehicle in front of her.two days later, it snowed again, and i was able to reproduce the problem on our street.driving at a speed of 20-25 mph, i quickly applied the brakes and experienced the same resistance to pressing of the brakes, the same slow firing of the anti-lock system, and the same feeling of complete disengagement of the brakes.the car took nearly 120 feet to stop (this is a very gross estimate based on property sizes).after this experience, we tested the brakes on our toyota rav 4 on the same road and got significantly better performance - the vehicle stopped in less than 60 feet (again, gross estimate) and did not exhibit the resistance to pressing or the slow firing of the abs.upon taking the vehicle to a dealer, we were informed that everything tested fine and there was no problem and nothing to fix.the problem recurred again in similar conditions two days later.the dealer has offered to allow us to bring the car in on a day when a rep from toyota will be present, but i feel that they do not believe us, and am not optimistic that they will be able to diagnose the cause.

The brake is not working properly when your stop in a red light or waiting in drive thru restaurant you have to push really hard the brake that way the car not move if you don't do that the car start move forward very slow you don't feel when start moving i hit other car was in front of me in the drive thru at mcdonalds restaurant.

I brought my corolla 2009 in nov 2008 . In feb 2009i took it to lansing ,mi dealer saying brakes went down to the floor. I had hard time to stopmy car. They send me back saying nothing is wrong. There was a brake recall few months later.i am again facing the same problem. I avoided banging my car twice . I took my car to toyota dealer . The service personnel instead of looking for problem said he can't help me put on the brakes as it winter. I told them i want to talk to his service manager. The service manager assured me that he will check the problem. Therear brakes were not aligned properly . Frankly i can't trust that car. I feel that cars2 basic functionalities went wrong. 1. Brake 2. Gas pedal. If toyota can't get 2 basic things right they should stop making cars.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. While driving approximately 60 miles per hour, the contact applied the brakes and noticed a grinding noise. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and was advised that nothing was wrong with the vehicle. The contact attempted to speak with the manufacturer but had not received a call back. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 5. The current mileage was 24,688.

Was exiting the 73 freeway on birch going 70mph approaching irvine ave tried multiple times to slow car down was unable to it was as if brakes were not being applied. As i got closer and closer to right turn and still unable to slow down or stop pulled the emergency brake and put the car into park which slowed the car.

I have contacted toyota headquarters for more than 13 times regarding the faulty brake system of my new toyota corolla, 2009. I didn't get actual results. This new car is driven by my child. I don't want my child in a dangerous situation.i don't want lose my hard earned money for the faulty vehicle. I will only be satisfied if the toyota headquarter authorize the nearest dealer to replace my current toyota corolla with a new toyota corolla in free of cost. For this written documentation should be mailed authorizing nearest toyota dealer to replace with new toyota corolla.

Trying to make a u turn out of a parking lot, car straghtened itself out and sped up brakes did not work and we went over a curb and down an embankment and hit a tree . This only occured once. We had over $4000 in damageson a car with less than 200 miles on the speedometer.

While driving my 2009 toyota corolla is slow moving traffic, maybe 20mph i was braking and realized that i was getting close to the toyota tundra in front of me. And it frightened me because i almost hit the truck. I had to press my brake pedal all the way to the floor it didn't seem like it was grabbing and it made an awful noise and i stopped just shy of hitting the tundra. I made a call to toyota last year but i wasn't one of the states that they considered to get ambient low temperatures. Well we got into the low 20's and teens many of nights and last night was in the 30's with frost on the car. How cold does it have to be? i have had my washer fluid freeze up a few times.

The 2009 toyota corolla i have has the similar brake problem like the prius, the car does not slow down at first when the brake was pressed, there is always a delay that causes a longer stop distance.

Few problems with my corolla 09. Power steering problems, feels very loose and turns by itself sometimes, luckily so far no accidents but is a real issue. Brakes makes a noise when reversing or sometimes going forward, i have told the dealer about both issues, but so far they says it's up to toyota standards.

This is for a 2009 toyota corolla le. Sometimes, after i hit the brakes, the car seems to stop gradually and the front wheels tend to shake heavily. (almost seems like the wheels are going to fall off). I took it to the dealer and they said that it could have been the abs kicking in. I am still not satisfied by the dealers remedy. They basically did nothing. The problem happens mostly on wet surfaces and light snow. But because of that, every time i hit the brakes, i have to pray the car to stop.

My concern is with the brake recall on toyota corollas that was started on august 26th, 2009. First, the recall only applies to 19 states....what about those of us that drive across state lines? or if the car is sold to someone from another state? then it is ok if the brakes fail? we have been waiting since august to hear from them regarding this issue.second, i no longer believe much (if anything) that toyota tells us. Therefore, i want you to 1) demand that they recall all toyota corollas with the brake problem, and 2) perform your own investigation to be certain that the problem is as they describe it.thank you for your attention to this matter.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contact was driving approximately 40 mph slight pressure was applied to the accelerator pedal which caused the speed rate to increase rapidly; and upon release of the accelerator pedal a rapid decrease occurred. There was prior recall repair performed on the vehicle before the failure. The nhtsa campaign id number was unknown. Additionally, a loud grinding noise came from the front end of the vehicle when the brake pedal was engaged. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and informed that there was no problem with the vehicle and to increase the sound of the radio louder while driving to avoid the grinding noise. The failure mileage was 34,000. The current mileage was 35,800.

I am extremely upset because my brakes failed for a brief (but scary) time tonight on my way home from work.they also made a very strange noise.i have 24,000 miles on the car, almost all highway.please call asap.

This letter was dated and sent june132009re: steering, brakes and/or suspension of my 2009 toyota corolla le, 4 door sedan.with a mileage of 11,682 to date. Toyota motor sales, u.s.a., inc., this letter is in regards to the recent road handling of my toyota corolla (listed herein). I purchased this vehicle to replace my 1995 toyota avalon as a vehicle to drive to and from work. I drive quite a distance to work having put on 8000 miles on this car in only 3months of ownership. Our family car is a 2007 matrix xr. We are obviously fans of toyota vehicles.this past week the bishop ford highway, which is part of my route to work in chicago, was scraped prior to a resurfacing of the road. This left a stretch of road which was very rough and with deep wavy grooves cut into the pavement. When my car crossed into the scraped section of pavement my car lurched about a foot to the right (without the steering wheel moving). This alarmed me as it could have caused an accident but the steering recovered under normal conditions but i realized something was wrong or loose in the front end. My warranty was coming due (12,000 bumper to bumper) and the car does handle well for the most part and i need the car for work so i figured i would wait a few days until the weekend to have it fixed along with the brakes which are starting to feel spongy. New pads are probably needed on the front end. I will have them checked independently this week and pay the out of pocket expense (even though this should have been covered under the warranty, even if the brake pads are close to being in need of replacement at this point).our service department at toyota on 30 in merrillville indiana did not find any problem with the brakes and the road handling could not be duplicated by their mechanics.i am a very experienced driver at age 45 with not even a parking ticket to my name.if there is a serious flaw...

Brakes do not respond on time. After pressing the brake, car did not stop on time and hit a small pole in front of the store and had frontal bumper damage. At first i did not know the reason. Now i know the recall on toyotas due to brake defects.

When braking to come to a stop, if there is any type of imperfection in the roadway, such as a small pothole, when hitting the pothole and braking at the same time, it causes the front end to get loose and the vehicle to swerve sometimes severely.

As an owner of 2009 corolla i'm very concerned about recall for brake failurein extremely low temperatures.toyota has limited its recall and repair of this problemonly to certain states. I live in nw indiana, less than 4 miles from illinois state line. Illinois owners will have their brakes fixed; indiana is not on the list. Toyota?s state restriction does not make any sense. Nw indiana has the same weather as chicago, il and the sameextreme low temperatures. Additionally, i conduct a huge portion of my business and personal matters in the state of illinois. I will have to drive my car knowing that brakes can fail on me on any given day with the extreme low temperatures (and we have months of such days ahead). How is toyota allowed to discriminate betweenstates without just cause? we all have a rightto drive safe vehicles. What can be done to enforce toyota to correct this problem?

When starting to operate the vehicle for the first time of the day, and it is cold out, when backing out of the driveway and applying the brakes, the rear brakes make very loud clunking noises like something is broken inside the brake assemblies on both rear wheels. I feel as if the brakes are failing, and this could possibly lead to something worse in the future.

I experienced a failure of the brakes in my 2009 toyota corolla s.i was pulling out of the parking lot at work today and approaching a busy road to turn right onto.approaching the turn at about 5 mph, i pushed the brake pedal lightly to gradually slow down to a stop to avoid entering the road into oncoming traffic.however, when the brake pedal was pushed, i heard a grinding noise and the car did not decelerate at all.it may have been the abs activating, despite the low speed and light pressure on the brake pedal.i tried applying more pressure to the brake, but there was still no deceleration.only when i released the brakes completely (which is very hard to do when you're about to drive into oncoming traffic) and reapplied pressure to the brake pedal did the brakes engage and the vehicle stop.this is the first time i have had an issue with the brakes in nearly 20,000 miles of driving this vehicle.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contact was driving 55 mph when the brakes were applied but the brakes did not respond and the vehicle abnormally accelerated. The front tires released smoked and the vehicle was turned around several times before coming to a stop in a dirt area. The front tires, rotors and cables were damaged. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who performed a diagnostic and located the failure at the accelerator pedal. The vehicle was repaired. The dealer modified the accelerator, replaced the rotors and the cables. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure.the failure and the current mileage was 124,000.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. While driving 5 mph with the brake pedal engaged, the vehicle would not stop. The brake pedal began moving back and forth uncontrollably until the contact firmly engaged the brake pedal. The failure has occurred 6 times. The dealer stated that they would repair the accelerator pedal the following day and then diagnose the braking system. The vehicle will be repaired. The failure mileage was 9700 and current mileage was 9740. Updated 03/10/10. *ljupdated 08/18/10

In early 2009 , one winter night, i was returning home after a night out, it has snowing and the temperature was below zero. My driveway is about 50 feet long and covered with snow and may be some ice and therefore become slippery.from the curb, i accelerate slightly to get over onto the driveway, and then i brake immediately once on the driveway. This is when i really suddenly for no reason the car is accelerating quickly and is going to hit my garage. I brake hard and find the car continue accelerating until it hit the back of my stand alone garage and cracked a few 2 by 4 pillars. My car suffer no damage.when i reported this to toyota online, i got no response from toyota canada other than this, i amvery happy above my corolla and i don't have any otherbrake problem since then.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contact stated while sitting idle at a traffic stop with the brakes depressed, the vehicle abnormally accelerated and crashed into the vehicle ahead of hers. The contact was able to drive the vehicle after the crash. There were no reported injuries. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. There were unknown repairs made to the vehicle. Following repairs, the contact noticed that when braking to a stop, the vehicle would abnormally vibrate excessively. The dealer replaced the routers on the vehicle however, the contact believed the failure to be associated with nhtsa campaign id number: 09v338000 (service brakes, hydraulic: power assist: vacuum). The contact stated the brakes were inoperable during the unintended acceleration failure and believed the brakes were also defective.the failure mileage was 5,000 and the current mileage was 16,000.

2009 toyota corolla sbrakes were failing to stop sound as if brakes were metal to metal. Loud grinding nose and uneven contact with brake disc. Two accidents were barely avoided because vehicle inability to stop in a reasonable distance. Excessive pressure was put on to the pedal to finally bring vehicle to a stop. Car was taken to the dealership and a determination was made that the vehicle had over 60%of pad wear left. We immediately took it to an outside mechanic which determined that the rotor had become uneven warped and cupped in several places and the pads deteriorating and were defective. We had both replaced at an expense of over 500.00.

On january12, 2011 at 3:45pm my daughter was driving home from school and up the driveway to park. Her 2009 toyota corolla would not stop and it drove through a flower bed and into our home. There was extensive damage to her vehicle as well as our home. The air beg did not deploy and she was not injured. She called me immediately and said "daddy... The car would not stop". She told me that she was depressing the brake with one foot and then both feet in an effort to get the car to stop.the toyota corolla accelerator and brake issue are more than a coincidence.if my daughter is innocent of negligence, i would like to make those who are responsible pay for the damages that we have incurred and clear my daughters name of any wrongdoing.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. He stated that the electronic steering wheel became difficult to control and resistant when turning the wheel in either direction. He also stated that the vehicle would bear to the left or right often times without driver intent. The dealer was contacted and they test drove the vehicle with the owner at approximately 35 mph and verified that the failure does exist. When depressing the brakes at various speeds, the brakes would feel as if they were not engaging, then they would immediately respond and lunge the vehicle forward. No repairs were made to correct the failures. The failure and current mileages were under 13,300.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. While the vehicle was traveling at a speed of 40 mph the contact applied the brakes and noticed a loud noise coming from the bottom of the vehicle. The vehicle has not been diagnosed by the dealer. Prior to the recent failure, the vehicle was taken to the dealership where nhtsa campaign id number 10v023000 (vehicle speed control, accelerator pedal vehicle speed control, accelerator pedal) was performed on the vehicle. The current and failure mileages were 2684.

Month: february and march 2010weather: dry roadsspeed: less than 35mphon two occurrences, i tried to brake to stop my car. The brakes made a very loud grinding noise, and the car did not slow down. I released the brake and then pressed it all the way to the floor, at which point the car stopped. I called the dealership and they seemed very unconcerned about it. I am scared to drive my car.

Complete brake failure (14 months worth) and acceleration over 85-95 mph (with complete brake failure). I was injured at the time of the acceleration incident and the brakes failed completely. It occurred on january 18th, 2010. The car accelerated to 85-95 mph, and the pedal stuck. I had complete brake failure. I did not know what to do, and called my work. They told me to stick the car into neutral, and they connected me to 911. I was injured as my chest hit the steering wheel several times.i am resubmitting this complaint on the 2009 corolla i owned as it looks like the brake failure issue i filed with your agency was never investigated. I looked up the odi number today, and nothing was reported on it for followup.

As an owner of a 2009 toyota corolla, i am very concerned about a recall for brake failure by toyota that is limited to certain states based on winter temperatures.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.

On march 8, 2010 i was driving my 2009 toyota corolla, of which i am the first owner. I was going about 35 mph and i pressed the gas pedal to accelerate to about 45 mph.then i released the gas and pressed on the brake pedal but the car did not slow down, but kept going 45. After a few seconds of pressing hard on the brakes, i pulled the handbrake and shifted the car into park. The car slowed down and eventually stopped. I then called a towing company and had the car towed to a dealership. They inspected the car and found nothing wrong. This problem has not occurred since.

I started up my 2009 toyota corolla, then with my foot on the brake, i put the cars gear into reverse. The car started backing up, accelerating uncontrollably.the brake would not stop the car. I never touched the accelerator from the time i started the car. The car stopped when it ran into another parked vehicle. I took the car to the toyota dealership in bradford, pa. The service manager told me that there was nothing wrong with the car. He said that i stepped on the brake too hard and that disables the anti-lock brakes. They refused to look at the car. There were no floormats in my vehicle.the toyota dealership will not look at my car because they say that it is not covered by the recall because its vin number begins with a j, which means it was manufactured in japan. I am scared to drive it because i have already had the acceleration problem once and crashed.

We bought a 2009 toyota corolla in oct of 2008.noticed the touchy steering, but was told thatwas normal by the toyota dealership.my daughter was driving it on a side street in huntington, wv when she hit a pot hole or a manhole traveling at about 15 to 20 mph.the steering locked up and she hit a parked car.it broke the abs wiring harness and caused $10,994.79 damage to car.we then found out that the tires were bald at 15,000 miles and the brakes were very thin.toyota had just service the car at 13,000 miles and did not tell me the tires or the brakes were bad.we do not know exactly what caused the steering to lock up.the repair shop could not tell us either due to the extensive damage.

My 2009 toyota corolla has had problems since i bought it in jan. 2009.it was seemed to down shift - they found nothingthe horn went out. Fixed two wires that were separated, (they said)after the wires were fixed, it left me in the road, stranded. Would not start, making a terrible noise. Wrecker towed it in. They recalibrated the computer.then i drove it on a trip for the first time since calibration and when i pressed on brake it would rev and seem to speed for a moment.i took it in and nothing found.landers in little rock, ar is where i bought it and take it for service.there are recalls on my 2009 corolla for brake problems, and other model cars of the corolla have been recalled for the surging problem while braking.i'm in a situation to where i'm making a payment on a car that i'm absolutely afraid to drive.please help me. I know they haven't driven the car as i have. They only test drive at their dealership. I'm the one at risk. With them knowing that the 2009 corolla has problems, i feel they are putting me and my family in danger.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contact statedthat while driving at speeds of 45 mph in rainy weather conditions and depressing the brake pedal, the brakes would not engage. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer nevertheless; the failure could not be duplicated.

The description i am sending in may or may not be connected to the toyota recalls for brakes or gas pedal sticking. My experience is that everytime i step on the brake pedal i feel something move under my feet. Sometimes it feels like something is rolling under the carpet. My floor mats are snapped into place so i know that they are not moving. I plan on taking my car to a toyota dealer on thursday feb. 18, 2010. This feeling has been there since i bought the car back in august of 2009. My car is a 2009 toyota corolla le. They say because it was made in japan i do not have anything to worry about. We will see.

I have a 2009 toyota corolla le that i purchased a month ago and is still under factory warranty.a few days ago i went to stop my vehicle and the brake pedal went all the way flush to the ground. There was not any resistance at all and was forced to use the emergency brake to prevent a collision. Had car towed to the toyota dealership and two days later they are informing me that they are unable to find anything wrong with the breaks.i purchased this vehicle for my 17 year old daughter to drive to school and am very weary about being told that nothing is wrong with the vehicle.i then began to research on the computer to see if this might be a recalled item or if anyone else has had this similar problem. Well sure enough there have been several toyota corolla owners with the same year that have had the same problem that i experienced.i would appreciate if someone could check into this for not only me but for everyone's safety.

Just got my recalled toyota 09 gas pedal fixed ( 02/03/10) and ran through a red light (02/08/10) due to brakes not working and sudden acceleration of vehicle.luckily there wasn't a car in front of me or anyone going through the intersection.i was not driving very fast and tried to stop at light, i was pushing the brake pedal and it just felt like it wasn't grabbing and i had it pushed to the floor and then my car made an accelerating sound like i revved it up and i went through the intersection.

Driving north bound on i-90 in lane 2 from the right side, approaching near the north cumberland ave over pass at approximately 50 mph, when it appeared the auto in front was slowing down i applied the brakes and they did not engage or slow the vehicle down. With vehicle 1 rapidly gaining on the auto in front of it,i switched over to lane 1 quickly to avoid striking the vehicle from behind, when the brakes did not stop the vehicle, the speed continued to increase, when it appeared i was going to hit the wall to the right of the safety lane, i cut back into lane 1 and the car, now going at an uncontrollable higher rate of speed, made almost a complete left across all 3 lanes striking vehicle 2 in the 3rd lane on the right rear door, when spinning off of vehicle 2 the left rear of vehicle 1 struck the wall making the vehicle come to a complete stop.

Repeated phone calls to toyota customer service and to two dealerships were dismissed as normal...when the 2009 corolla is stopped and the brake pedal presses the pedal travels approximately two to three inches down towards the floor board.again two dealerships and toyota customer service state it is normal*tw

The contact was not present during this incident which was the first failure regarding the brakes. The contact had not spoken with the dealer or the manufacturer to-date. The vehicle had not been repaired at the time of the complaint. The current and failure mileages were approximately 24,000. Updated 07/19/10updated 07/21/10.

This complaint is being filed on by me as a result of the terrible safety problems i have encountered since purchasing my 2009 toyota corolla new from performance toyota dealership in fairfield, ohio. On 3/27/2009 my corolla sped up on its own causing me to strike a parked vehicle, and injuring myself. I called the walton, kentucky plant about this the following day. Their advise to me was to take my vehicle to the dealership where i had bought it for an inspection. On april 1, 2009 i did this very thing and i was told by their mechanics that everything on my car was fine and that it was probably just operator of the vehicles fault. Leaving the dealership worried, and concerned i put my toyota corolla in the body shop for repairs. Ten days later after having my vehicle inspected by their mechanics and having my body repairs made the same thing occurred to me again when on 4/11/2009 my toyota corolla accelerated upon its own again striking a parked vehicle causing additional injuries to myself as well as this time i was cited by the police, my insurance carrier raised my rates to nearly double the usual amount, and i am paying for a car that i am terrified at this point to be driving. When i requested print outs from the dealership of the mechanical inspection that was made between auto accidents they became very agitated with me, and my son to the point of complete rudeness. On 22/4/2010 they made a correction on my toyota corolla to make an attempt to fix the sudden acceleration problem, and told me to remove my drivers side floor mat that i would be receiving a new one for safety reasons. I did this but still as of yet have not received any such floor mat for my car. On 5/19/2010 my son and i took my corolla in for an oil change and tire rotation when we were told of a brake recall that my car needed which would only take 40 minutes to accomplish. I told them to fix it please. I have complied in every way.

I purchased a 2009 toyota corolla in november 2009. I had issues with the brakes slipping to the floor 2 weeks after purchase. This would happen when i would try to slow the car down or come to a stop. It happened sporadically. I had many near collisions and went off the road into snowbanks several times to avoid hitting other cars. Toyota kept saying nothing is wrong with the car after checking the brakes. In september, i took the car in for the hydraulic service brake recall. This did not fix the problem. On december 8 & 9 the brakes went to the floor twice when i tried to stop at stop signs. 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.

I own a 2009 toyota corolla that has been giving me problems since the day one. I have been in the dealership many times for my brake problems and they have been unable to resolve the issue.on sep. 28, 2009 the vehicle was involved in an accident my mother was driving and she says it would not stop.now that i am aware that others are experiencing this problem i am stepping forward to let everyone know that their not alone.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer for repairs under nhtsa campaign id number: 09v338000 (service brakes, hydraulic:power assist:vacuum). After repairs, the contact was driving 45 mph and applied the brakes. The vehicle would not respond immediately. The failure occurred constantly. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician stated that the recall repairs would need to be performed a second time but the manufacturer would not cover the costs. The vehicle was not further repaired. The contact had not experienced any brake failure prior to the recall repair. The approximate failure mileage was 10,758.

I have noticed that my brakes on my 2009 toyota corolla s have been not as responsive as i would assume or want them to be. This is especially noticeable when it is rainy or wet, or even damp outside.i began to notice that when it was wet my brakes sound like they are grinding when i stop and stopping distance is significantly elongated.finally on one rainy day my brakes failed as i crashed into the person in front of me. In any usual circumstance i would have had enough time to completely stop, however my brakes completely depressed to the ground and felt that they hardly slowed my car, resulting in damage to my car and injury to myself.i have brought my corolla into a toyota dealership to have the breaks looked at and they said they were completely fine, however they were unable to reproduce the circumstance under which my brakes failed, therefore resulting in them saying there was no issue with the brakes.i have had all of the recalls done on my car and i still notice that the brakes are not functioning as they should.

Recently i received a recall on my '09 toyota corolla stating there was a potential problem with the brake system vacuum port. 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. The toyota dealers name is kent brown toyota in big flats, new york. I'm not even sure you people are the right people to contact but if you are your help would be appreciated.

I purchased a 2009 toyota corolla in january 2009.i thought the brakes were a little sluggish and expressed that to the salesman. He said they were fine so i thought i just needed to get used to them. I had no other problem in 2009. In january of 2010, on two occasions, i experienced episodes in which the brakes failed. The problem was that they would hold and then slip several times before the car came to a stop. On at least one of these occasions, i thought i heard the engine racing while the brakes were being applied. After i heard about the corolla recall, i took my car into the dealership where i had purchased it and was told that my car was not subject to the recall. I did not understand this but asked them to keep the car until they could find and fix the cause of the malfunction because i considered the car to be a death trap. This was in february 2010 and i reported to them exactly what i have now reported to you.after about two weeks they called and told me my car was "all set." when i picked up the car, they gave me an invoice which said they had taken it for a couple of test drives, checked the codes, and found no evidence of the acceleration problem despite the fact that i hadtold them it was a brake problem. On 2/25/10, i applied the brakes as i approached a red light and the brakes did not respond. I do not know whether the car accelerated but i do know that it did not slow down. Consequently, i rear-ended the vehicle in front of me and my vehicle was badly damaged.

My vehicle was involved in an accident and i belive that the manufacturer was at fault.i had my vehicle inspected for brake problems numerous times by the dealer and it was always said nothing was wrong.well on sep. 22,2009 my mother was driving my car while i was passenger andshe says it would not stop.now that i see others are experiencing the same problems i want the manufacturer to be held responsible because i have been dealing with these problems for two years now and it finally seems like something is going to be done about it. It took my car and who knows how many others.i gave the dealership many opportunities to remedy the situation at my expence.

I've had two recalls done on my 209 corolla.the accelerator and the brakes. I've noticed that my gas pedal makes this whistle every time i accelerate. Shortly, after the brake recall i've noticed a difference in my brakes.the brake was mushy, i had to press harder on the brake just to come to a complete stop, and when step on the brakes, its not smooth and my car would pull forward.i went back to toyota services to recheck my brakes only 4-6 days after i had the brake recall done.they said, they could not find anything wrong with my brakes.its been 5 days since the last visit and i just recently reared ended someone.luckily it was just a fender bender but i was lucky enough that it was nothing serious.the lady who i had reared ended had a 8-11 month child with her.i knew my brakes felt different, i knew there was something wrong but toyota failed to see that.i am really upset with toyota.i could of lost my life along with the lady and her infant.

While applying the brakes (2009 toyota corolla le 38,000miles) on the snow or slick condition road the wheels would constantly stop/rotate as soon i would press on the brake pedal and prevented me from stopping until the car slid into a dry spot, curb, or snow bank.it seemed as if the brakes were over sensitive causing the brakes to immediately respond with the constant stop/rotate.for a couple of snow falls (09/10 season) i dealt with this by slowing down and using the brakes way before my intended stops.on 1/7/10 as i was coming over a slight decline i pressed on the brake in response to a van about 150 feet in front of me at a red light which caused the car rear end to whip around to the front across oncoming traffic land into a snow bank.at that point the car was stuck and had to be pulled out.although the tires still had sufficient tread on them (no balding) i replaced all the tires.that stopped the over sensitive reaction with the brakes.

My 2009 toyota corolla sport has been having brake issues since i bought the vehicle about 3 months ago brand new with only 6 miles on it. It started with brake noises. Both me and my girlfriend heard them. We are not deaf. I took my toyota in for service on the problem twice and both times they said nothing was wrong with my vehicle. The past week i've noticed the breaking has been really difficult and you have to push down hard to stop the vehicle. So today; my third brake complaint they told me i need new rotors and that the pads are worn down the metal on metal and that the rotors were "glazed" over from the extreme heat. New rotors and third set of brake pads at 11,000 miles? never heard of it! somethings wrong and toyota will not admit it.

The accident with my 2009 toyota corolla i believe is due to brake failure. This vehicle has many feature that were supposed to react in situations of minor ice and/or sliding. The sliding light, or "vsc/trac indicator" (pg. 158 of owner's manual), comes on even when the vehicle slides. Even when the car slides so slightly that you cannot feel it, that light would come on to warn the driver of the potential hazard, according to the manual "if the vehicle is in danger of slipping or the front wheels spin, the indicator flashes to indicate that the vsc/trac have been engaged. A buzzer (intermittent) sounds to indicate that vsc is operating."the car was also equipped with antilock brakes.as i was trying to slow down, i could instantly tell my brakes were not responding. I hit them harder, still no response. I had both feet on the brakes pushing down with all my force & still felt and heard nothing from the car. Usually in such case, even if the vehicle is slipping, the driver should hear a tripping noise, that the antilock breaks are responding or at least attempting to. But none of that happened. The sliding light did not turn on, the car did not react to me hitting the brakes or even show any signs of struggling to, & the antilock brakes did not engage.also, i just had 4 new michelin hydroedge tires installed just a few weeks prior, (ranked #1 by consumer report), making me believe that the brakes were solely responsible. Lastly, the car has been well-maintained since it was originally purchased from the dealer, & all maintenance has been done only at a toyota dealership, including a 27 point inspection with every oil change, & all records of such are available. I understand of course that ice trumps all, including vehicle safety measures, but i still believe strongly that the car did not react as it should have on a mechanical and technical level whatsoever.

2009 toyota corolla.consumer states that she pressed the accelerator and the brake pedal at the same time and the vehicle accelerated through a fence. She finally got the vehicle to stop before crashing into the building.the consumer stated he accelerated through a fence causing$7,566.05 in damage to his vehicle. The consumer stated even though the accident was due to driver error, the vehicle was poorly designed.the differential in height between the gas pedal and the brake pedal was 1 to 1. 25 inches when neither was depressed. They can very often be at the same height when both were depressed together which could cause driver confusion as to where the foot would be.to add to the problem, there was a firewall hump 1 inch to the right of the accelerator pedal. This leaves only 5.75 inches between that wall and the right edge of the brake pedal. The consumer stated there was not enough space to maneuver his foot.

Toyota motor north america, inc. 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?

My 2009 toyota corolla wanders from side to side at highway speeds.i have to constantly make corrections which is exhausting and a safety issue.please inform toyota to issue a recall to correct this safety problem.thank you.

The steering on my 09 corolla wanders continuously at freeway speeds. It has since new, though i did not notice while on the test drive. The more worn and grooved highways and windy conditions produce a more dangerous feeling, especially in poor weather conditions. I have complained to my dealer, lithia toyota in medford several times, yet they say there is nothing wrong. There are multiple complaints on the internet yet they say nothing is wrong. Toyota is selling a faulty and unsafe vehicle and is doing nothing to resolve the issue.

The steering in my corolla does not feel right . It does not have any feel to it at all. Please recall this vehicle and make toyota fix its problems.eps was put in this car to save money for toyota. It did nothing for the consumers.

My 2009 toyota corolla has steering issues, especially at highway speeds. This car is impossible to keep tracking straight without constant correction to the steering wheel. It wants to "gently" wander from side to side all the time. This poses a danger to anyone driving this car as well as others on the road. I was a toyota service technician for approximately 5 years and have never encountered such a problem with a properly functioning vehicle.

2009 toyota corolla. When traveling over 50 miles per hour, the steering is "loose" or uncontrollable.the vehicle can stray into other lanes of traffic.this has occurred almost everyday since i take the freeway to get to my place of employment.it is my understanding from the dealership that the response is: there is nothing we can do.

Electronic power steering in my 2009 toyota corolla becomes noticeably loose and will drift to one side while driving. I notice the steering wheel become less responsive after pulling into/out of a driveway, over train tracks, pothole, anything that provides shock to the vehicle with throw off the steering control, but it could be a flat straight road and the vehicle will drift.the steering control is so loose that one must constantly be adjusting the steering wheel to prevent the vehicle from drifting.i had my alignment adjusted 3 times over the past 3 weeks thinking something may be wrong with it, but the technicians stated that alignment was within spec.i purchased new tires (and balanced tires) and the drifting still occurs. Found this technical service bulletin tsb-0140-10 and it is exactly the same drift like crosswind pushing the vehicle.i called a toyota dealership and spoke to a service technician who stated that the authorized solutions was to replace the ecu with a different ecu part number, calibrate steering wheel centering and again align the wheels for the new ecu.if they give replace it with a different part number why isn't this a safety recall, since they are not replacing it with the same defective part number?someone at toyota is clearly aware that the old part number is no good.if the vehicle steering goes out even slightly while the vehicle is in motion, why is that not considered a safety recall?no preventative maintenance can prevent this, only a toyota service center can repair this. This would only be covered by toyota warranty if the issue was reported within 36 months or 36000 miles, even though a settlement was reached with toyota in july 2015 that closed the issue with the nhtsa. The toyota dealership quoted me an out of pocket repair cost of $1200, for something that they know is a problem with the steering control.

Power steering seems overly sensitive.constant minor corrections to steering wheel are required to keep the vehicle in a straight line.even with all the extra steering wheel corrections, i still end up weaving down the road.i have heard others say they feel as if the are losing control.my complaint is that i have to control too much.i have had six other toyota corollas none of which had the electric power steering.they are fine. I noticed this behavior as soon as i drove the car home from the dealer on the day of purchase in january, 2009.when i asked about this i was told by the dealer (metro toyota, cleveland, ohio) that what i am experiencing is normal for a car with electric power steering.i'm not so sure.

At highway speeds, the car tends to veer either way left or right and has to be constantly adjusted to stay straight center in the lane. It's been occurring since i bought the car. I thought it was weird at first, but didn't think much of it until more complaints occurred. Now, i am in the middle of trying to get it fixed.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. After the vehicle was started, the rpms rapidly increased and her foot was not on the accelerator or brake pedal. The failure recurred after she stopped at a traffic light. The dealer stated that whenever the engine was cold the rpms increase. Since the gas pedal was replaced the failure has not recurred. The steering has become difficult to control while making left and right turns. The failure mileage was 9,000 and the current mileage was 12,000.

I would like to file a complaint about the electronic power steering in my 2009 toyota corolla s.at highway speeds greater than 55 mph, there is an inherent inability in the steering system to completely control the vehicle.the car will suddenly veer to the left or the right with no input from the steering wheel, as if sudden gusts of wind were blowing the vehicle from side to side.maintaining a straight line path at this speed is far more difficult and requires far more attention than any other vehicle i have ever driven.without an immediate reaction to this unnatural feeling steering system, the vehicle is in danger of entering another lane or veering off the road.although i have somewhat gotten used to the very peculiar handling of this model's eps and no longer feel it is dangerous to drive on the highway, i feel that a recall to improve the poorly tuned steering (at least on the s trim) is prudent and will reduce the number of highway accidents, injuries, and deaths.

"takata recall"have not been notified to correct this problem needs to be corrected do not like driving around with bad airbag.

I drive a 2009 toyota corolla s. Starting today i refueled my car and when i started the car again the steering was extremely hard to move. I tried restarting it three times before the steering was back to the way it normally turns. Later that day i started my car again and heard a buzzing from the steering column and the power steering went away again. I restarted the car and power steering was back. Again that day i started my car and proceeded to back up when the power steering went and the wheel locked up turning left as i was backing up. I almost hit a wall in a parking garage and had to restart my car until power steering was regained. I made it back to my office and will drive my car straight to the selling dealership after work.

This did not cause an accident, but my 2009 toyota corolla suddenly pulled to the left when i was on the highway.i noticed from day one that the car is hard to keep straight at highway speeds, to a point to where it is very frustrating, but when it pulled suddenly it became frightening.

In my 2009 toyota corolla, the steering is finicky at speeds about 50 miles per hour.it constantly feels like it is being driven in windy conditions and wanders in the lane, requiring constant steering correction.i purchased the car in may 2008; in june i took it to my local dealer because i thought it had alignment problems.they said the 'light' steering feel was normal and no fix was prescribed.i then wrote a letter of complaint to toyota and received no response. Since then, i have just had to get used to it and be conscience of it while behind the wheel.i've always thought that it was unsafe as any time i take my eyes off the road, the car veers to the left or right randomly.now i have been made aware that it might not be 'normal,' but a national concern.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contact stated that the vehicle pulled left and right. In order to steer straight, she would have to tilt the wheel to the right and when she stopped, the vehicle would move to the left or to the right. She steering wheel began pulling to the right and caused her to drive over a curb. She took the vehicle to the dealership four times and was told that she needed an alignment. They replaced the two front tires and told her that the alignment caused the failure to occur. The steering wheel has continued to malfunction since the dealer was unable to diagnose or repair the failure. She had not called the manufacturer to-date. The current mileage was 20,669. The failure mileage was approximately 13,000.

Unexpectedly, the steering pulled to the left direction. The consumer lost control; crashed into a ditch and struck a tree. There were no injuries. The police was called to the scene. Also, the steering wheel moved to the left and right direction without assistance whenever traveling at any speed.the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for inspection. The technician was unable to replicate the failures. The failure mileage was 20,000.the current mileage was 35,000.updated 4/7/2010 the consumer stated he had to constantly correct the steering left to right to keep the vehiclein the lane. 07//27/10

I bought toyota corolla 2009 a year ago. And after 2 weeks i bought i complained about the steering wheel by feeling the survey form and even i went to the dealer to check this for me. The steering wheel is very very bad.... When you drive you car more than 50 mile per hour.... It is very hard to keep the lane straight.... You have to grab the wheel really hard... You feel swinging left and right when you drive this car in a highway. Starting from week 1. I am extremely disappointed with the performance of the steering wheel of this car. I was expecting to hear from toyota following my complaint.... But i didn't hear anything. I am still driving this car with less confidence and scared every single time i drive. I never felt driving a new car for a single day. Seriously, these toyota corolla 2009 model needs to be checked for the steering wheel. Since i have already bought it i can't to anything but i would love to have my complaints heard by toyota and fix the issue. The steering wheel is very bad.

I own a 2009 toyota corolla.i bought it 8/2008 and noticed shortly after that it had major steering issues.i drive approximately 1000 miles a week to and from school on interstate 80 in iowa.i'm constantly swaying back and forth like i'm driving drunk.it's even worse in the rain and snow and on windy days.i haven't been in any accidents (yet), but feel like one could happen at any moment due to the unsafeness of it.i also have several children and feel like toyota should do something about it soon because every day i'm not only putting my life in danger, but my children as well.

Letter from senator boozman on behalf of constituent regarding his 2009 toyota corolla.the consumer stated the vehicle would wander, even after having the tiresand two wheels replaced. The consumer stated he dealt with the steering issue for several years.eventually, the consumer received a claim form in the mail from toyota stated there was an issue with the steering.

2009 toyota corolla drifts and wanders at highway speeds.requires deliberate and distracting focus to keep car in its lane.alignment was checked and found to be correct.dealer indicated many owners have brought their cars in for this issue but there is nothing that can be done, that it is the design of the electric power steering. Contacted toyota customer assistance center at 1-800-331-4331.case manager indicated that this was the design and that if a safety issue was found, a recall would be issued, but at this time there is nothing that can be done.believe there is a safety concern due to car's highway behavior and due to driver distraction;a car drifting around the road will be more likely to be in an accident, and a driver focused on keeping the car in its lane will be less focused on hazards that may develop in their path.

My mother was in a bad accident with a 2009 toyota corolla.she was making a right turn from a set position and as she accelerated the car continued to steer right causing her along with her two grand children to go over a curb/cliff and into a ditch bank.she has been in extreme pain since the accident.the grand kids appear to have suffered mild injuries.this is a real issue and i hope someone pays attention to this issue.toyota really needs to address this issue before someone is fatally injured. The car was totaled.

As i was driving mytoyota corolla '09 on the highway, the steering wheel started to vibrate very hard as i began to de-accelerate, especially around the curves of the freeway. It did not feel normal at all and took a lot of strength to keep the steering wheel steady.

Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)i own a 2009 toyota corolla 4dr. Sedan. [xxx]. This vehicle is not out of balance or alignment. You can not hold the car straight. It is going to go left or right within 3 to 5 seconds and in less than 10 seconds it would be in the right ditch or left. Extremely dangerous and nerve wracking. This vehicle should not be on the road.---when applying brakes, the rpm's go up about 200.

I own a 2009 corolla which i bought in september of 2008.around june 1st i began having trouble with my steering wheel.while making a sharp turn i heard a loud pop.after that my steering wheel did not feel right the rest of the way home.when i parked in my driveway with my wheels straight i noticed my steering wheel was upside down.the next morning it was fine.2 weeks later the same thing happened again.i took it to the dealership and was told the computer did not show anything wrong and if the steering wheel had turned upside down there would have been an error message on the computer.i had shown them pictures proving that it happened. They told me they had no idea what the problem was so there was nothing they could do. I am afraid to drive my car on interstates now because i am afraid the steering will go out completely and cause me to wreck.i know toyota has had several complaints about steering problems in the 2009 corolla.i just want to know that my car is safe to drive and apparently no one can tell me that.

My 2009 corolla will not go exactly straight at highway speeds.close, but not exactly straight.steering must have a very minor correction about every 3-5 seconds to keep the car in or near the center of the lane.this is a safety hazard.1. If the driver fails to do the constant correction the keep the car in the lane, the car would veer out of the lane - increased possibility of a crash.2. The concentration required to do the constant minor steering correction keeps the driver from observing surroundings and other traffic - increased possibility of a crash. 3.on a long trip the concentration required correcting the vehicle increases driver fatigue - increased possibility of a crash.i read in the news that "spokesman brian lyons said toyota believes most of the complaints involved wandering from the center steering position that didn't amount to a safety problem." and "on june 3, toyota issued a bulletin to dealers telling them to address complaints by checking the tire pressure and alignment. If those steps are insufficient, the bulletin told dealers they could replace the computer that governs the electric power steering with a new unit, which toyota said had been "re-tuned" with an "alternative steering feel."".as of aug 18, 2010, my local dealer says he knows of no problem with corolla steering and can not find a service bulletin about 2009-20010 corolla steering.

Every since buying this car something has felt wrong with the steering.it has gotten worse over time. It feels like you are skating on ice as you drive down the highway even on dry pavement with no wind.the steering wanders constantly causing me to have to correct it. You can't drive it with one hand at all.i've had 3 sets of tires and two alignments to try and correct the problem.the mechanics say they can find nothing wrong.

My 2009 corolla has always felt as if it were wandering as i was driving. I told my sales person and he felt i was just not used to it as i had been driving a new toyota tundra that is much bigger. I have driven small toyotas since the 70's so i think this is not the case.i have experienced this for a yr and 1/2 now.

I was driving on to the off ramp and off the freeway decelerating from about 65 miles per hour.i felt as if a strong gust of wind pushed my car to one side at the same time this occurred the steering wheel jerked to the left pulling my hand with it.at this point i had no idea what had happened i tried to recorrect the wheel and instead it went wildly back to the right.this happened another time within a couple of seconds.the next thing i know the car spun around 180 degrees facing oncoming traffic of cars coming off the freeway at which point the car drifted, hit the curb and rolled into the embankment.the car was totaled. My passengers leg was also injured and we are lucky to be alive.until all this news came out about toyota i had thought that what had caused my accident was strong winds because honestly that is what it felt like when i was driving behind the wheel and on top of that i was traumatized so i never thought about the accident having anything to do with the cars mechanical failure.looking back i don't even believe the wind was even blowing that day that was the first time i drove that car on the freeway after purchasing the car.my sister also drove it once on the freeway and she also mentioned that the steering wheel felt hard to handle.shed mentioned that driving from san jose to san francisco she had to have a firm grip with two hands on the steering wheel because it felt strange. The accident was in 2008 and it was a 2009 corolla.because of the accident we weren't even able to have a chance to determine whether or not the steering wheel actually had a defect.

2009 toyota corolla steering complain. 1. Difficult to keep the car in a straight position while driving.2. Looks like it is lagging behind when turning or driving in a straight position.3. In a split second, you feel that you are not in control of the steering.

I have been experiencing a lot of highway wanders and i have replaced tires and had three or more alignments done since january of this year. It feels as if the wild is blowing a hundred miles an hour around me and pushes my car all over the freeway. I feel it getting worse as well. I'm not sure what else to do or who to contact. I really need to get this fixed asap and we have tried many things.

2009 corolla wanders at highway speeds above 60 mph, itcannot go in a straight lineit wanders three to four in the lane.

2009 toyota corolla electric steering faulty. Vehicle is dangerous to drive. Difficult to keep car straight, constantly veers to the left or right. Will not track straight. A constant fight to stay in your lane.

I was driving along the freeway at a normal speed of about 55-65mph, whensuddenly my car start swerving right and left, and i have no way of stopping the car but to hold the steering wheel all the way to the left so it would hit the dividing wall of the freeway to stop it moving.

I have 2009 toyota corolla le. I noticed that in high speed (60 mph) some times it is difficult to keep the car in lane and at high speed it drifts. I was driving to mississippi from atlanta and noticed the drift.

I purchased a toyota corolla 2009 new the steering is dangerous. If you happen to look away from the road in front of you for a moment,you may find yourself heading out of your lane when you look back. A friend of mine drove a toyota corolla from the state of georgia to new york and didn'tnotice any problem with the steering. I ask him to test drive my carhe noted it was difficult to stay in the lanethe one he drove up from georgia tracked straight and true. I took my corolla back to the dealership they said every thing was in speck . I did some searching on the web and found there have been some accidents involving this car and the nhtsa has received over 820 complaints at this time. Please add mine to your growing list.pswith the growing number of young kids using cell phones and texting these days they do not stand a chance in @#$% driving a car like this.

I have a 2009 toyota corolla with approx. 7600 miles.i was driving down a residential streetapproximately 30 mph , when the car suddenly pulled to the right and hit a parked car. This happened so fast i did not have time to react. There was extensive damage to my car and it had to taken off on a flatbed.i was very lucky that i wason a residential street and not a highway.the only injury wasto my left shoulder from the seat belt.

The car has very poor steering.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.

I just recently purchased a certified used 2009 toyota corolla with only 25,000 miles on it. I've noticed that steering this vehicle, especially at highway speeds, can be a challenge. The car seems to have a mind of its own sometimes because out of nowhere the car will abruptly veer to the left or right. I've already taken this vehicle back to the dealer and they checked the wheel alignment, rotated the tires, and adjusted the tire air pressure. They notified me that everything was up to specification. On april 16, 2012 a box blew out of the back of a truck on a highway and when i swerved to avoid it i almost lost control of the vehicle. When i got home i got online and found a ton of people complaining about the same issue with their 2009-2010 corolla. Apparently it has to do with the new electronic power steering they initiated in 2009. Perhaps they should go back to the old hydraulic power steering system. Please help!!

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. While driving at any speed the steering wheel was very hard to control and keep the vehicle driving forward. She took the vehicle to the dealer. The dealer checked the alignment and stated that nothing was wrong with the vehicle and that's the way it was designed. She also stated that recently the vehicle began to vibrate excessively. The failure mileage was 14 and the current mileage was 10,000.

I notice an issue with my power steering on my 2009 toyota corolla le. When i exceed 70 mph it feels like my car is caught in high winds and i notice the steering drift from side to side.

My 2009 toyota corolla has issues at highway speed with its steering.it will be fine and then it will want to go side to side very quickly for a short while, then go back to driving normally.it is similar to what would happen if you were to move the steering wheel rapidly side to side, but just a few inches.it happens at speeds over 50mph and has done it up to 80mph.it does not always happen, but does so several times a week.i have an 80 mile round trip commute daily, and sometimes it happens several times in one direction.

While driving at highway speeds my 2009 toyota corolla pulls to the left as though it is very windy outside even though it is not windy outside.this happens every time while driving at highway speeds.i have done nothing to correct the problem because there has not been a recall.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. Whenever thecontact drove the vehicle at various speeds, he noticed that thesteering wheel became very stiff and hard to turn in alldirections. The vehicle was taken to the dealership where thecontact was informed that the vehicle was operating properlyand nothing could be done. The contact has noticed the failuresince the day he purchased the vehicle. The current and failuremileages were 30,126.

On february 11, 2010, when i was driving our new 2009 toyota corolla from wilmington to philly on i95 and my husband was sitting on the passenger side.we feel our vehicle was continuously vibrating. The car vibrate just like the earthquake. Our speed is only 55 miles an hour.and there is no wind in that day. It is very hard to control and we were scared, so we slowly take the brake and stop the car to inspect, we did not find anything unusual.then we kept driving it on the i95, we feltthe same vibration.regarding to the safety consideration, we left the highway and we are afraid of driving it on highway right now. I consulted with some people who have some knowledge on car, they told me it is some problem with the steer system. I am communicating with my dealers and tryingto get the feedback from them.

Since may 2009, my 2009 toyota corolla drifts on the highway left or right.i hold the steering wheel very tight, and still the car drifts.i have used the stock rims, new rims, original tires, snow tires and new tires.have had front wheel alignments done, and nothing.now that i am hearing about this problem, i thought it was just me.but got new tires on 2/19/2010, and the same thing.i drive 80 miles round trip each day to work and am concerned about my safety.all it takes is one look away, and you are drifting.this car does this all the time.i am going to ask the dealer to do something about it, since there are more complaints now.

My toyota corolla/s/l has had steering problems since we bought it.especially on the highway the car veers/swerves to the left and right like you were driving in a wind storm.this is my 18 year old daughters car.it's a 2009 with 20,000 on it and every single time she brings it for a oil change she tells the mechanic to check the alignment because she has a hard time steering it on the highway. Which that is the only driving she really does.she commutes to college. I am very worried.

Thank you nhtsa !hello, i have had extreme issues with the electric power steering on my 2009 corolla. There is definitely something wrong with the steering on mine and many other 2009 corolla's. The car is dangerous! the corolla swerves from left to right by its self and is very very scary at times. A good example would be to imagine your car being hit by extreme winds from the left and right simultaneously. I have nearly been involved in two accidents in this car.i have been to the avondale toyota dealer in arizona twice and they always told me the car was with in specs. The regional manager was informed of my problem yet hewouldn't even drive my car to see the problem. As if i was crazy or something, i have been a loyal customer to toyota for many years and this feels like a slap in the face. I am very educated in mechanics of automobiles and have driven many cars. This is not driver error!i also have to say, i have been more upset over the denial of this problem even more than the problem its self. If toyota would have listened to me and actually driven my car they probably could have saved them a ton of money on all the recalls now. Good lesson to all business's. Listen to your customers. I am very thankful this design flaw has gotten some media attention. Maybe now they will actually look into this dangerous problem.

Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)i have a toyota corolla 2009, i have reported to north town toyota in buffalo new york of my car having a steering problem. When driving the car it is constantly fighting your steering. It almost feels like where the rack meets the pinion, that they bounce and separate causing it to not steer properly. The toyota dealership says that toyota is not going to fix problems with the steering yet, of course it is our only vehicle, and we have no choice but to drive it. This is very frustrating. They have addressed the peddle recall, as well as repaired a failed left rear abs speed sensor, and bearing, but when i asked that they do both right and left at the same time they refused, now my vehicle is out of warranty, and will have to pay for it when it fails. I am not an uneducated person i have a mechanical degree, and have worked in several industrial plants dealing in industrial maintenance, it is standard practice, that when a bearing fails, and there are more than one in the same area, you replace them all at the same time, just like when one cv boot fails on the searing column they always replace them in pairs, as well as brake pads, drums and rotors.

While driving on expressway/roads the vehicle will make a surprise pull to the left or right. One thing to note when turning the corner the steering will not recover straight.the car is less then a week old. Notice the problem on my first trip on the interstate. I took it back for 2 days and they find nothing wrong but scotty said it's normal for this new type of steering.you must keep both hands on wheel at highway speeds.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla.while driving 60 mph, the vehicle veers to the left and right, instead of in a straight line.when other vehicles pass or in windy conditions, the contact struggles to maintain control of the vehicle.the manufacturer stated that no one else was experiencing this failure; therefore, they would not assist.the failure mileage was 2,106.

The steering is hyper-sensitive at highway speeds (55 - 75 mph). 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.

Change in steering response . Car wants to wander going down road.

2009 toyota corolla; same steering issues (at highway speed) noted by other drivers.steering feels unstable, at times car feels as though it might veer into another lane.happens regularly.

Steering the car at highway speeds (over 55 mph) is difficult.feels like something is trying to push the car out of the drive lane.this occurs all the time (i have a 3 hr round trip commute at highway speeds) and has since vehicle was purchased.have an appointment w/dealership, but in a phone conversation was told by service rep that it was my problem, not the car and that an appointment was not necessary.rep (forgot name) stated that putting sand bags in trunk would solve problem.i have replaced the tires and had the alignment checked but the situation has not changed.

I bought my 2009toyota corolla in june.afterhaving it for a week i questioned about the reason as to why the steering was so hard to handle in the rain and when the wind blew.i was told this was because of the type of tires i had on my car.this problem has become worse.yesterday i was driving and without out me steering the car it went on it's on to the right.this car takes two hands tightly holding onto steering wheel to drive.it is the scariest car i have ever driven.

I recently purchased a 2009 toyota corolla that has a defect in the design of the vehiclessteering. When driving at highway speeds (50mph or greater) the vehicle wanders all over the road. The straight line stability of this car is terrible! and i believe it presents a dangerous problem for 2009 toyota corolla owners. I have read other complaints about this problem on your web-site from other drivers and i think this issue needs to be addressed by toyota immediately. Thank you for consideration in this matter.

2009 toyota corollas drifts from left to right at hwy speed. As if driving in strong wind. Wonderd why wrists sore after 30 minute commute. Read about eps problems and allowed the car to take its course on quiet freeway. Sure enough the car pulled fairly strongly left.

My car always shifts to the left. I thought it's an alignment problem, so i sent my car to auto check to adjust the alignment. After service, the problem still remains. I don't have an accident because of it.

While driving the electric power steering causes car to drift and locking up on highway

The car is hard to control the power steering and i luckily have been able to get control of the car without a accident but i have been close to being slammed in the side of 18 wheelers, other cars and concrete barriers. This issue needs to be resolved asap. My dealership keeps telling me there is nothing wrong with my car. As a consumer and a parent of small kids this is not right. Toyota needs to address this issue or take the cars back and fix them and quit telling us there is nothing wrong. The consumer noticed the vehicle had excessive play in the steering wheel and drifted from side to side in the travel lane.updated 05/24/10

Car is wandering and difficult to keep straight on the road at highway speeds.it feels like the wind is blowing it side to side even when there is no wind.this is a persistent problem and makes driving the car tiring and difficult.

I just got a 2009 corolla le yesterday and today while driving it on the freeway, the steering was going all over the place.i had a hard time keeping the car straight at speeds greater than 50mph.i need this car for commuting but am afraid to drive it on the freeway and am disappointed with the purchase.

2009 toyota corolla, 29,000 miles, the steering locked up, almost got in a horrible accident. I finally got the car pulled over.the battery was then dead.i had it towed in to the toyota dealer wherei bought it.they said there is nothing wrong with it.this is a serious problem that needs immediate attention!

It was raining on 441 and i was doing 45mph, all of the sudden the steering wheel started drifting a lot switching me from one lane to another. I completely hydroplanned. I started spinning, almost hitting a big wooden pole, and i ended up falling into a big ditch full of water. It was the most scary feeling i've ever had.thanks god there weren't any more cars, so i didn't hit anyone. After that incident i got the car checked by a friend. They told me the dealer was so irresponsible for selling me the car with 2 rear tires that were almost worn out. I thought that could've been the reason why i hydroplanned, so i changed the 2 rear tires for new ones after that. After driving it again, over a bridge, the steering drifted again. I didn't spin, but it pulled me to the right, enough to got me scared again, and it wasn't even raining. After that other incident i drove it many more times on the highway, and everytime under highway speeds or when i passed by a big truck or anything that made the wind push the car, i kept feeling the steering wheel drifting. I just got this toyota corolla '09 like 3 weeks ago and i can definitely say this vehicle is so prone to drifting, specially at highway speeds, and i think people should be aware of this defect to either get their cars fixed or to not buy any of these year model car, because it goes against your own safety and other people's.

2009 toyota corolla wandering steering*cw

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. She purchased the vehicle brand new in march of 2009. She noticed that whenever she drove the vehicleapproximately 65 mph she was unable to control the steering wheel. She took the vehicle to the dealer who stated that they were unable to duplicate the failure. The failure mileage was 500 and the current mileage 6,000.

Purchased 2009 corolla in april 2008 - some major complaints are provided:(1) family does not feel safe in car - a lot of stress, pain and inconvenience to continue to have car serviced - dissatisfied with car's performance.(2) electronic power steering (eps) - car sways and cannot stay in straight line - noticeable on a daily basis - dealership tried to correct - still drifting - complained - dealership changed wheels/tires - swaying still exists - dealership said i just needed to "get use to the new eps"(3) loud cabin noise - car was advertised as being quiet - a lot of road noise(4) rattling noise - manifold pan bolt fell out - bolt was replaced(5) involuntary acceleration - accelerator pedal was replaced after "reinforcement fix" did not work.(6) owned 2003 and 2004 corollas that did not have as many problems.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contact stated that at high speeds, the front of the vehicle lifted because the steering was too powerful. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealership but had not been repaired at the time of the complaint. The failure mileage was 0. The current mileage was appproximately 35,000.

This is my first complaint i've ever filed with the nhtsa, and it is because i believe now that our car is incredibly dangerous to drive unless substantial changes are made to the electric power steering.we recently purchased our 2009 toyota corolla, and at highway speeds (60-75 mph) the car is pushed around by wind constantly.even if it isn't windy though, the car still will not track straight, and feels as though wind is pushing it from side to side.a few days ago, on a fairly windy day, i had to hold the steering wheel to the right to keep going straight and prevent the car from being pushed into the left lane on the highway.as soon as a short break in the wind happened though the car would then shoot over the line to the right (where the steering wheel was pointed to counteract the force of the wind pushing the vehicle to the left).although on calm days it is sometimes only an annoyance, on windy days (even in light winds) it can become extremely dangerous at 70mph.i have owned many different vehicles over my years, and this is by far the worst handling car on a highway that i have ever driven.

The steering is terrible. Every time i get onto the highway, i have to hold on to the steering wheel very hard with both hands to feel safe. I am always worried about hitting the car next to. The car swerves constantly, and is very hard to control. I can not believe that a relatively new car such as this can not stay straight on the road.it feels as if it were extremely windy outside making the car shake left and right.i have always trusted toyota and thought that they sold nothing but the best. I have lost the joy and excitement in driving. Please correct this dangerous issue. Blind spots are also a major safety issue i have found.also, there is an extremely annoying rattle inside the car. It sounds like it is coming from the ceiling, and from the rear windshield. It is noticeable at all speeds.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. While driving 50 mph the steering wheel malfunctioned and caused the vehicle to move from the left to the right into the other lanes, uncontrollably. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed. The failure mileage was 14,000 and the current mileage is 14,400. Updated 03/11/10updated 05/13/10

The vehicle is difficult to control (drifts) at speeds in excess of about 60 mph.

I am still waiting for toyota to recall my car regarding the power steering or the problems with it.as many have indicated/complained, the power steering of my 2009 toyota corolla is so frustrating and nerve wracking.it's very unstable at high speed.it feels like there's always a high gush of wind pushing my car left and right.if safety is what toyota is all about, i think the drivers of these cars, i for one of them, don't feel safe at all.i'm always nervous thinking that my car would pull on either side at anytime.i hope that they still have a record of my complaint.brought my car to two dealership and both of them confirmed that nothing is wrong with the car, when in fact there is.i hope that whoever is investigating this issue try to drive my corolla so that they find out themselves the problem that we're having.the car is very unsafe.imagine someone who is a new driver driving this car?i think they'd have a nervous breakdown.&tr

I own a toyota corolla 2009, and when i was driving at 285 s. Altanta, ga; all of the sudden the steering wheel became very heavy.it was very difficult to turn right at exit 40 and to change direction.just like the steering was locked.i just barely could turn into the parking space close to that exit.i am driving this car every day for one hour in the morning, and one hour or more in the afternoon, i'm scare that this will happen while i'm driving on the highway (85 atlanta) or in a lot of traffic.i am so afraid of driving this car.please, help me!!do we have a recall for this problem?i think that toyota corolla steering problems may lead to another recall. What are they waiting for?

Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)i purchased a 2009 toyota corolla (vin=[xxx]) in august 2008. At higher speeds, it seems to steer like you are driving beside a large tractor trailer rig (i.e.: feels like the car is being buffeted by wind). I talked to my brother in-law and he said he had a similar problem once with a small light weight car. So i called the dealer and they said this was a typical problem with the corolla and said i needed to purchase a spoiler. Now i am a civil engineer and think that the engineers that designed the car would have designed it to run without a spoiler at legal driving speeds. I did keep the tire pressure at 35 psi, but lowered it to the recommended 30 psi. This helped, but the problem still occurs at speeds of 65 to 70 mph which i drive on the interstate with traffic. I have no idea how the car drives at 65 to 70 mph without traffic.i think that there is a defect with the steering.

My new 2009 corolla can not keep in a straight line when i am driving on highway. 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!

Lose some control over 2009 corolla when driving at highway speeds.car acts like it is being hit by a gust of wind from the side.usually ends up pushing the car a number of feet to the right but i am able to get it under control before any accident occurs (so far).this is a recurring problem and always happens at highway speeds, ever since i purchase the car.

I bought my 2009 toyota corolla late in 2008. I used to use it a lot on the expressway when going to champaign from chicago. I noticed that i had to fight a lot with the car as it felt really loose. It was never a comfortable trip as i had to always hold the wheel super tight or else the car may jump to another lane or into the ditch. I never really looked into it because it was my first car (i had an suv previous to it) and i just thought it was either just me or it was normal that it happened. But just today i saw an article on an investigation being done on the corolla's power steering and it described exactly what was happening with me and my car. I wanted to file a complaint to make sure that this is issue is not overlooked as many drivers as myself may not have realized that what was going on with the steering was a potential problem. To summarize, when i am at highway speeds, i feel as i have to fight with my car or else i may lose control of it and steer off the lane. This never happens in the city. I bought this car brand new and it was an issue from the start and therefore not an issue caused by wear on the tires or the such. Please look into this. I never do long distance travel with my corolla due to that issue and if it can be fixed it will be a great relief. By the way, i put a date from around the time i bought the car because it did not give me an option to put any other type of answer, but this issue happens at all times when on a highway. Thank you.

2009 toyota corolla steering problems. Above 55 mph the car likes to wander all over the highway.

One major flaw: twitchy power steeringit?s similar to others on the internet blogs ? after about 30 minutes it?s as if i am trying to balance my steering on a ball.the steering wants to move off center to the left or right. By steering into oncoming lane or traffic.i reminds me as a kid; turning my bike handle bars 180 degrees (backwards)and steering forward. You can do it but you must keep both hands and fight the steering.

We have an 09 corolla xle...the car wanders at speeds over 45 mphfrom lane to lane...it takes effort to keep it straight......toyota has said it is the electric power steering...

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. While driving at speeds of 60 mph, the steering wheel exhibited minimal resistance, causing the front end of the vehicle to sway outside of the traveled lane without driver intent. The failure would occur intermittently. The dealer stated that there were no recalls on his vehicle pertaining to that type of failure. The contact also stated that he would often experience sudden surging of the vehicle engine upon removing his foot from the accelerator pedal and traveling at a steady speed on the freeway. The approximate failure mileage was 49,000 and the current mileage was 52,000.

Problem with electronic steering system on 2009 toyota corolla when driving with high speed (60-80 mph). The car rocks from left and right and is hard to keep it going straight. Took the car to toyota dealership and was told that they couldn't find anything wrong with it.

When driving my 2009 toyota corolla on the highway at speeds of 50 mph or more, steering becomes extremely difficult to control in my car. It jerks to both the left and the right with no warning.i thought it was my tire alignment at first but that is not the problem.

We own a 2009 toyota corolla. The steering is terrible. On the hwy it is as though the wind is blowing hard and blowing the car all over the place. Lately we were on the hwy and watched the tree tops no wind but the car was all over the lane. It is difficult to keep it on track i would say over 40mph. I was driving my daughter and grandchildren home one evening and it just veered off the road to the right. My daughter asked me what the hell just happened. I believe it is a serious problem. Please don't wait until someone is seriously injured or worse before something is done.i put the date 2/1/09 because it has been continuous since we purchased it.

Steering eps module is down.toyota did replace the computer for the eps on some of the 2009 and early 2010s. But did not recall.

I have a 2009 toyota corolla( pre owned). Since day one i noticed that the steering felt loose. It feels like the wind is blowing the car around and it is difficult to keep it going straight. I need to constantly keep both hands on the wheel.this car has all 4 brand new tires and dealership balanced the tires as well. When searched on toyota site there is no recall information. Pls help.

2009 toyota corolla,the car is hard to keep strait i have 10k miles on the car it been a problem from day one i here there are no fixes for this yet?

My2009 corolla seems to have unsafe steering at highway speeds. It takes a lot of correcting and feels like i have alignment issues in the front or something out of alignment in the rear. It is like the steering is to sensitive and there is absolutely no feedback as to what the car is doing.

Very strong vibration has been present in my steering column.i took it to the dealer which told me it was the rear struts.replaced them $600.00.the mechanic noted in his notes that vibration was still bad upon releasing the car to me.i was told i needed new tires and balancing.i took it elsewhere and had new tires and balancing done.the problem still present today.i took it in again today and was told it was now my roters.new pads, roters and another alignment with rear brakes cleaned and re balance another $450.00.this whole time i have been feeling that the problem is in the steering column.now i learn there was an investigation reguarding my make and model for that year.i am to get my car back this afternoon and will want something investigated if the problem is still there.

Ongoing steering issue with 2009 toyota corolla purchased august 1, 2009, from eastern shore toyota as a new car. At interstate speeds (60 - 75 mph) car behaved as if in a strong wind...steering constantly needing correction. On january 6 i took the car for scheduled service and mentioned the problem to the service manager at the dealership. He knew of the problem and said, "it's the tires." he said that at high speeds those tires, "just run the roads." he said all i could do is wait until the tires wear out and change brands. I thought that was a lot to ask of a person who had recently paid virtually full price for a new car with a sense of driver-control noticeably diminished on the interstate. It may be important for you to know that i saved the work order and it makes note of my raising the steering issue. I called the car salesman and voiced my objection to "just put up with it." he correctly pointed out that the tires were under goodyear's warranty, not toyota's. I took the corolla to the local goodyear dealer and they replaced all four tires on my car...mileage now up to near 5000.on my first drive test, problem at high speed was definitely improved. I called my saleperson and told him so. However, on a 300-mile round trip yesterday, the problem, although reduced at interstate speeds, was now very apparent at city driving speeds. I finished the trip resolved to write the dealership today which i will do as soon as i finish this. Coincidentally, in this morning's paper is an article about the very problem...losing control of the steering.

My 2009 toyota corolla's electric steering wanders all over the highway. You can't take your hands off the wheel for a second without the car drifting into another lane.

I purchased an 09 toyota corolla x-ray on march 28 2013 i took for an alignment on 4-9-13 because it was pulling and didn't want to stay straight. Then i find out that there is a flaw in the rear toe and toyota is not doing anything. This is not safe and needs to be addressed now.

About three months after i bought my 2009 corolla i noticed that the steering wasn't acting right during high speeds on the interstate, heavy wind, and rain. It pulls to the side sometimes and then other times feels like i have no control, in the past couple months it's started to make noise when i turn the wheel. I've been trying for over a year to get this settled with the dealership but they won't do anything and won't even do a service report at all, saying that it's fine. I was even in an accident that involved several other cars, but the severe damage could've been prevented if my steering hadn't of messed up on me. There have been numerous other incidences where my car's veered off the road and almost veered into another car, i was fortunate enough to not be involved in accidents those times - however, i have a 2 year old daughter and i can't take any chances.

I bought a 2009 toyota corolla back in april 2008 and was excited about upgrading from a 20-year old toyota camry, which i loved. Ever since i've had the vehicle, i've also had the steering problems that many people have complained about on the web. Around town the steering on the car is fine. But once you get on the freeway, it becomes difficult to steer since you're constantly trying to correct the issue. I have not filed a complaint directly with toyota nor have i spoken to the dealer because it appears that this issue is real and rather than deal with their condescending service managers, i'll simply wait for a recall from toyota. I can't say that i've felt unsafe on the road, but more irritated by the horrible steering. I may not purchase another toyota after all of this is said and done.

I purchased a new 2009 toyota corolla le in march of 2009. My car wasn't recalled for floormats or a sticky gas pedal but was recalled for a vacuum booster hose recall. My car is a japanese unit and wasn't subject to those recalls. Im writing to you because the electronic power steering in this car is dangerous and should be looked into. The steering is extremely sensitive to minor inputs, wanders, and doesn't seem stable. Please investigate as this car isn't safe.

I purchased my 2009 toyota corolla in october 2008 and returned to my dealer within two weeks with concerns about the steering at highway speeds -- 50-60 mph.my salesperson drove the car with me and told me that the steering was very sensitive, that i was used to driving a heavier rav4 with stability control but that nothing seemed amiss with this vehicle.over the course of the last four months, the issue continues and when the roads are slick or when the wind blows the problem increases tenfold.i live in a part of the country where wind is inevitable and ice/snow can be issues.i have contacted the dealer twice to try to trade the corolla in on a safer vehicle but since it is a new car, i cannot recover the depreciation to make the trade at this time.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 25 mph in rainy conditions, the vehicle started steering to the right although she was driving in a straight direction. She had noticed that the steering felt loose prior to the failure. The contact was not sure if the vehicle also accelerated and steered to the right or if the only problem was the steering as the failure occurred so quickly. The vin was unavailable.the failure mileage was approximately 4,800. The current mileage was 5,000.

The steering does drift at times which is scary!

Corolla was purchased new with about 100 miles. The day after the purchase i drove it about 1500 miles to florida. Along the way, at highway speeds, i soon observed that it was noticeably drifting side to side within the travel lane. No amount of attention could prevent it from happening. Without saying anything about this experience, a second driver brought it to my attention as they too noticed it. I contacted the dealer who suggested that it was simply a "light" car but thought we should bring it to a dealer to be checked out. We had a toyota dealer look it over to make sure nothing was loose or wrong. Nothing was found to be wrong with the car. This problem continues but primarily at highway speeds.

When driving, steering requires constant attention as it drifts both right and left off center making it difficult to drive straight.vehicle, at highway speeds,will sometimes give the feel of hydroplaning or being buffeted by strong cross winds(very scary and dangerous).this vehicle is unsafe as it requires you to focus all of your attention directly in front of the car just trying to keep it between the lines.any distraction such as reading a highway sign for 2 seconds can find you drifting into another lane or off the road. The sudden feeling of hydrplaning is exceptionally dangerous as one can oversteer to correct.

2009 toyota corolla.driving north on highway 95 just south of elgin, texas.speed was between 55-65 mph.steering wheel stiffened becoming inoperable, car veered right uncontrollably and flipped.

Dear experts, i am the owner of a 2009 toyota corolla. And i would like also to stress out the fact that my corolla has a steering problem. While driving straight it is very difficult to keep car in line, it takes a lot of concentration to wrestle with the car and which is not safe. If don't pay sufficient attention to the road, you can very easily loose your line.

Power steering problems.car is hard to keep in straight line. Power steering over corrects with the slightest movement right or left of the steering wheel. While traveling on i 40 in a one lane construction zone near winston salem n.c. On october 16th 2009, i turned thesteering wheel to the right . I then had to correct by turning back to the left. When i turned left the steering over corrected causing me to strike a construction cone with my left mirror. The glass in the mirror broke and i replaced it at my expense.i have had problems keeping the car in a straight line while traveling between 40 - 60 miles per hour ever since the car was purchased. I travel thousands of miles every year driving several makes of vehicles. This vehicle is the only one i have had this problem with. After hearing of other people having the same problem, i believe this is either a design problem or an equipment failure and should be corrected by toyota in order to prevent accidents or deaths caused by this problem.

The steering on this vehicle is hazardous.i have explained it to the dealer on at least 2 previous occasions as being "hyper-sensitive".while driving if you hit a bump in the road theslightest movement of the steering wheel is exaggerated and the car begins to veer left or right.trying to compensate the veering only exacerbates the problem.

The steering on my 2009 toyota corolla xle has been an issue since the day i purchased it.there is a complete lack of steering 'feel' which results in oversteer and drifting into another lane or off the road.numerous times cars in other lanes have had to make corrections to avoid a collision due to the drifting of my corolla.keeping the corolla in your lane requires complete concentration which results in driver fatigue.often i find myself 'twitching' the steering wheel back and forth to stay in my lane or on the pavement.i have taken my corolla into the dealer and the dealer claims there is nothing wrong with the suspension.the dealer suggested there might have been a problem with the tires.i had the tires replaced with the highest quality michelin tires available for my corolla , had an alignment accomplished, and had the tires filled with nitrogen.these actions did not help the steering issues at all.there is a dangerous defect with the 2009 toyota corolla steering that needs to be addressed.at some point, loss of life is inevitable due to this problem and probably has already occurred.nhtsa, the owners of 2009 corollas and all those that share the roadways with us desperately need for you to intervene to compel toyota to address this problem.this is a major problem that has been well documented by various entities that test drive and write reviews on automobiles.additionally, many individual owners have posted similar steering complaints in numerous forums on the web. Help!

I have a 2009 toyota corolla. I have complained numerous times about the steering pulling one way or the other to my local toyota dealer but they have always maintained it's fine. I finally looked up the problem on google and found other people are also having this problem. I recently drove the car to and from florida and my arms actually hurt from fighting the steering, and i'm a construction worker. The problem seems to be getting worse.

I recently read about the power steering issue being probed in 2009-10 toyota corollas. The symptoms that i read about are exactly what i experience in my 2009 corolla. When i am at higher speeds, it feels like it is being blown by really strong wind and at times i have to fight to keep it going straight.

My 2009 corolla le has been having front end alignment / steering problems since new. It started shortly after buying it, i took it in for it's first oil change and asked the dealer to look into the alignment since the steering wheel was off center. This happened again 2-3 times afterwards, then i finally had brakes serviced and had it aligned. 2-3 days later after alignment i noticed the wheel off center again. I am a busy person so i decided to take it for due oil change and have them take a look at thesteering once again because now is getting worse, is pulling to the right and the other day i over compensated taking a left turn and hit the curb which caused to bend the lip of a wheel, lucky for me no air got out of the tire. Now i have to buy a new wheel, that one would never balance. Please help, there is something wrong with the front end of this car, maybe a recall should be made.

I was somewhat relieved to see that there, in fact, is an issue with the steering on the 2009 corolla. I bought my first toyota in sept. 2008, which was a 2009 corolla. That winter, i was driving across the state during the holidays. I was on the interstate going 75 mph, the speed limit. With no explanation, all of a sudden i lost control of my car. I hadn't done anything to lose control and there were no weather issues. I found myself skidding across two to three lanes of interstate trying to get control back of my car.. I easily could have flipped many times through a ditch and god knows what else. Thankfully there were no cars on either side of me when this happened. To this day it has haunted me on what happened that day as i have never been that close to what i consider a "near death" experience. I easily could have died that night and i realize that. I took my car in the next day to the dealer and asked them to look at it. They did and said they couldn't find anything. Please do a recall on this issue. It is a serious issue as i experienced it myself. I just wanted to share my experience in case it had any bearing on whether a recall is made or not.i will close this by saying that i can't help but be extremely disappointed in toyota. I had never owned one and bought one because it is such a reliable brand. I'm possibly facing my third recall (first was brakes, second the accelerator and possibly a third with the steering) - all three major safety concerns. I will say that i do appreciate toyota's willingness to make things right. It is the correct and ethical thing to do. Please hang in there and fix everything that needs to be fixed so we can all move forward safely.

The car's power steering turns by itself when hitting bumps or rough patches on the road at higher speeds.it takes awareness and effort at times to keep the car straight.although probably not an immediate safety threat, i imagine if not remedied, it will be a problem that gets worse and not better over time.this is an issue that occurs daily.

My 2009 corolla at high speeds in excess of 55 to 60 on the highway feels like it is absolutely out of control. I feel as if it is almost driven by the wind, even on still days.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota. He purchased the vehicle in 2008 and since then he noticed that the steering wheel pulled to the left and right. The vehicle acted as if it needed an alignment specifically while driving over 50 mph it became consistent.he took the vehicle to the dealer twice for the failure who stated that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. The manufacturer took a report and advised him that they did not have a remedy for the failure yet. The failure mileage was 10and the current mileage was 31,000. Updated 3/30/2010

Can't keep car from wandering all over road side to side.

I purchased a new 2009 toyota corolla on march 16, 2009. The eps steering causes the car not to run in a straight line. At highway speeds it pulls strongly to the right. To correct the steering causes the need for constant input to correct the steering as the car wanders off of a straight line constantly.the steering input is not precise and the car seems to steer off of a straight line. If not corrected, the car pulls right.due to this condition, i checked tire pressure.from the dealer, the front tires were well over the prescribed 30 pounds and the rear tires were well under.it appears that there was an attempt to compensate for the steering issues and mask the problem.with correct tire pressure, the problem is worsened.

Steering wheel gets really stiff sometimes it locks up when i reverse and then put the car back in drive.there seems to be some lost of power for a brief moment, this has been occurring for the past month.

The contact owns a 2002 toyota corolla. While driving 40 mph, the vehicle acclerated, crashed into another vehicle and was impacted on the passenger side. The air bags deployed and the vehicle was destroyed. The contact was taken to the hospital but did not sustain major injuries. The contact stated that the vehicle made a left turn own it's own and caused the crash to occur and that the power steering was faulty. The failure mileage was 36,000. Updated 05/10/10

Steering on 2009 toyota corolla is loose at highway speeds.feels like trucks passing you all the time.i complained to several dealers, they told me i would get used to it as it is electronic steering.now i see i am not alone with this problem.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. He stated that while driving at45 mphon a rainy day the vehicle surged forward while having his foot on the brake and applying a lot of pressure. The vehicle was very hard to control, the steering turned very loosely and then he crashed. He sustained lower back injuries and the vehicle was destroyed. Toyota will be contacted toreport the crash. Prior to this crash he had experienced this issue 2 additional times.the failure and current mileage was 22172.

While driving on expressway and roads the vehicle will make a sudden surprise pull to the left or right randomly. One thing to note when turning any corner the steering wheel won't recover straight as if it forgot i turned.the car is less than a week old. Notice the dangerous problem on my first trip on the interstate.i look it back for service the next day.for 2 days toyota service checked alignment and drove it. They find the steering wheel in tolerance. Scotty said it's normal for this type of new electric steering. You must keep both hands on steering wheel or it will steer out of assignlane. After a 2nd trip in a week of owning this car decided to test drive a different2009 toyota corolla and drove just fine. I only wished mine would have drove straight.

My 2009 toyota corolla continues to have steering issues...oversteering, not staying centered in its lane.i have been to the dealership probably 12 or more times with this vehicle.i have had repeated problems with issues that i reported starting in late 2008.these issues are now under recall.i am still deeply concerned about the steering of my corolla.i drive it as little as i can trying to stay off of the turnpike.iam concerned that this problem is actually unrepairable.i have contacted toyota corporate more times than i can remember.additionally, i have contacted both of my senators and also my congresswoman.i need this issue very carefullyinvestigated.my son drove a corolla for many years and never had this problem.i need your help and my guess is that others do as well.

At highway speed car wanders across lanes. Experienced complete loss of power steering while driving down side street.

Unable to gradually and safely correct vehicle path. When attempting to correct path (stay in the center of my lane), a minute movement of the steering wheel over-corrects and much too quickly moves the vehicle in the direction you are attempting to steer.i have practiced making my steering movements even slighter, but this is much too tedious and one could very easily steer into oncoming traffic. Please note: this is not an issue at speeds below 45 mph, but is dangerous at speeds above 60 mph.

2009 toyota corolla steering drifts badly on the highway. The car has to be constantly corrected to maintain a straight line.

My 2009 toyota corolla s veers (as if hit by harsh wind) while driving 60+ mph on the highway. I was driving out of state on a highspeed highway when i noticed the problem. I had to slow down and hold onto the steering wheel with both hands to keep my car in my lane. I have only had the problem occur at high speeds so i have been driving slower since then. I found out yesterday that there may be another possible recall and that's when i decided to file a complaint.

The car steering wheel drags to the left while driving in a hilly curvy road. Sometimes the steering wheels gets stuck while driving and cannot move or operate.

8-10 instances over 2 years with a 2009 corolla drifting while traveling on a straight highway, as if a strong wind was blowing when there was in fact no wind. The steering would become extremely light and unresponsive, prompting me to immediately slow down. It almost felt like hydroplaning, but again, there were no environmental conditions as such. Nothing has been done to date to correct the failure. I didn't think much of it until hearing about the corolla power steering investigation.

2009 corolla s steering causes car to wonder around road unsafely at highway speeds.

Steering issues with the 2009 toyota corolla.*nj

I own a 2009 toyota corolla, the vehicle drifts while traveling down the road in a straight line off center. Toyota has done a wheel alignment and state that all is according to spec. I own a toytoa 4runner 2003 and it tracks straight and true on the same roadway. I drive a ford police interceptor at work and i also drives straight and turn on the same roadways. Consumer reports magazine also reports in their test that the corolla 2009 was vague on center during their test.

I bought my car back in august of 2009 and like many others i have had problems with keeping the car straight down the road at higher speeds. I have always said i should not have to hold both hands on the steering wheel in order to go down the road. It gets even worse when the wind is strong. I was told that because it is a small car it will do this. But i have never had a small car act this way. My car is very well maintained and i know it is not the tires nor the front end alignment. If you do not pay attention to this problem it would take nothing for you to cause an accident.

2009 toyota corolla with steering issues.car always pulls to the right.already needing to replace tires, with only 24,000 miles on it.dealership not covering anything.

I purchased a 2009 toyota corolla, a car that just about killed us.this car wonders from one side of the road to the other.when you go past 55mph the car becomes uncontrollably.i took this car back to the car dealer and they said everything on the car was fine but still the problem continues.went back a second time and had customer service manager drive the car and she said the car's steering was out of control and something was definitely wrong with the car, also the service technician said there was a problem with the car.dealer said the could not do anything about the problem.i called toyota head quarters and they said the could not do anything about it.some one is going to be killed in these car's.i believe it has to do with the electronic steering.my advise follow your lemon law per state.don't give up....

I had talked with toyota multiple times regarding what sometimes felt like very loose, uncontrolled steering in my 2009 corolla xle, & was told each time that it was doing what it was supposed to do & i needed to "get used to it."the steering was hypersensitive & when making easy turns,the wheels frequently turned as far as mechanically possible (could hear them hit the wheel well.) i eventually resigned myself to the steering & quit asking them.while driving on a 2 lane road, around a large curve,i found myself to close to an object on the right side of the road. I instinctively pulled the wheel to the left & immediately felt the car try to make a turn, then start to spin, when i tried to steer back to the right trying to correct, i felt no response or control.my car spun around 180 degrees, off the road, & rolled onto the drivers side & part of the roof.as far as interior safety, no air bags deployed but the passenger compartment held up well,&while my insurance co. Had to total the car, i only suffered bumps & bruises.now i'm reading that i am not the only one with concerns related to the steering in this car & most of the complaints sound frighteningly familiar to my experiences with it.this accident was reported to the police, but no ticket was given or report filed.

I bought a 2009 toyota corolla for my wife because of its safety features.we notice d the steering was stiff, but the sales person assured us it would be better the more we use it.it has been over a year and no improvement in the steering, it is still stiff and tends to drift.we bought the vehicle in april of 2008 and it only has a little of 5,000 mile on it because my wife does not like driving it due to the steering.

2009 corolla electronic power steering is really difficult to control and i have to continuously fight to keep the car in the lane of travel.. I am very concerned that a simple sneeze will cause me to have a head-on collision.

I bought my 2009 toyota corolla in may 2008.from the very first day of ownership, the steering has been very sloppy, especially when traveling over 50 mph while on the highway.the steering seems as if it is over-sensitive and not fine-tuned, but there also could be a major problem with the steering components.when i brought this issue up to my local toyota dealership, they responded by telling me that the steering is supposed to be that way, since it was a new electronic power steering system, rather than a conventional power steering system like in previous models.if the steering is supposed to be that way, then why is it that i have such a hard time keeping my 2009 toyota corolla centered in the lane while driving down the highway.the vehicle wanders all over the road; and if i ever have a twitch or have to sneeze, the car would, most likely, be darting all over the highway because of the sloppy steering.in talking with many 2009 toyota corolla owners, this problem doesn't seem as if it is minor, as all owners that i talk to have similar problems.i have to keep both hands firmly on the steering wheel, looking straight ahead in order to keep my car in a semi-straight line while traveling down the highway.if i start looking around, scanning for potential hazards that may present themselves, i find that the car is wandering to the left or right without almost any steering input from myself.i would appreciate if the nhtsa and toyota would look into this potentially serious problem with the steering with the 2009 toyota corolla so that all owners of this vehicle would actually be able to have a stress-free drive while operating this vehicle.

I own a 2009 toyota corolla s.i test drove this vehicle locally and did not think to drive it on thehighway.i placed an order of this vehicle shortly after the test drive to get preferred color interior/exterior of car.i noticed a couple days after when taking it on the highway, at about 60-65 mph it sways from left to right of lane.i have had this car for a year now and this happens every time i go over 60 mph on the 94 highway.i do not feel safe driving on the highway, i drive mostly locally for this reason.when i do drive on the highway i always need to be extra cautious and pay extra attention to steering and it worries me especially on days when it is real windy and it makes it real difficult for me to steer.i have talked to toyota dealers about this issue i have been experiencing and they told me it was nothing to be concerned with and that it was because of "road crown". I do not believe this is the issue and am very concerned.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contact was driving approximately 55 mph. The vehicle began to sway from the left to the right. The failure occurred at any speed being traveled. Additionally, as the vehicle speed increased there was difficulty in steering. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for inspection. The failure could not be reproduced. The current and failure mileages were 13,000.

Steering not straight, have to constantly adjust the steering to keep car in the lanes.

Unstable steering,when you are driving over 60 miles an hour it has a tendancy to wander over the whole road.if there is a cross wind it really is bad.the wife will not drive it.i have talked to other customers they have a similar complaint.seems to get worse with age of car.when i take the car in to getit serviced i mention the steering and they say there is no problem.they do not write it down on the service request either.i guess they do not want a record.this is the second time to day the other time it quit in the middle.i am reentering.

I purchased a 2009 toyota corolla le in early december 2008.much like my 1999 toyota corolla le, it cannot hold the road above 50 to 55 miles per hour.the vehicle still is under 2000 miles on it and we just came back from a 1500 mile trip to several states.here in nc, the speed limit is 70 mph on many highways.i'm in the car everyone else is passing, because my toyota corolla swerves to either the right or left requiring constant correction as if one was driving through a hurricane, even though it's not windy.when it is windy, it's dangerous to go over 45.my 34 year old son, a mechanical engineer, refuses to drive the car when he visits, due to the instability of either car's steering issues.

Steering lost response to wheels, after correction,steering will not come back to center' car wanders from side to sideyou must keep both hands on the steering wheel at all times,problem has happened before..we had tires rotated, wheel alignment,alignment shop says the problem is with electronic computer which controls steering.

Thought i better add my experience with my 2009 toyota corolla. The car was impossible to keep in a straight line. It was as if every tiny steering correction was greatly exaggerated or being buffeted by strong winds from every direction on a calm day constantly. I had to constantly stay up on the wheel & not lose concentration for a second or i would be out of my lane.as i said, it was impossible to keep in a straight line.i complained to toyota about this but received no response at all. After about 5,000 miles it seemed to get a bit better or maybe i' just getting used to it.

I have 2009 toyota corolla when driving hwy speed (55mph) up, the car is hard to stay in the straight lane and i had to constantly adjust steering to keep it in the safe situation - please help!

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contact stated that while driving 60 mph, the vehicle would pull to the right and the left abnormally. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who was unable to diagnose the failure but advised the contact that the failure was not caused by an alignment problem. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 80 and the current mileage was 20,000. Updated 5/7/12 the consumer stated the vehicle would wander. Updated 05/14/12

Driving north on an urban interstate highway at about 60 mph the car experienced random movement similar to a strong crosswind or low tire pressure. Tire pressure sensors did indicate low pressure and next morning tire pressure was checked with a gauge and were at the recommended pressure. There was a moderate to strong wind from the west but the car movement even occurred when driving in a depressed roadway with no observable wind. My wife mentioned that this had happened to her recently. After a few miles the car returned to normal. Later that evening when going south, this same symptoms occurred on and off over a 20 + mile period.an hour or so later, when driving east on a rural interstate the motion began again with the wind behind us. At all times when dropping the speed tp below 50 mph the problem ceased. On may2, my wife stated that this squirrelly problem recurred driving south on a suburban interstate.tire sensors indicated no tire pressure issue. Light wind from the east.there has been very little freeway driving since march.after discussing this occurrence, i recalled another corolla owner mentioning a steeringproblem. I went online a found numerous descriptions of similar incidents.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. She ordered a 2009 toyota corolla xle and it arrived in august 2008. She returned to the dealer on numerous occasions since the vehicle began pulling to the left and right. The vehicle does not stay centered in its lane at higher speeds ranging from 50 to 65 mph. She has to grip the steering wheel with both hands in an attempt to keep the vehicle straight. The failure intermittently veers in either direction and required nearly constant over corrections. She owned another toyota for twelve years and has never experienced this kind of failure. The contact stated that she feels unsafe while driving. She was also advised that the vehicle is operating as it is designed. The vin was not availale. The current mileage was 10,000 and the failure mileage was less than 100.

This corolla s model always pulls to the left or right on highways. I have been having this issue since the day one. I have also noticed that when turning the corner the steering will not recover straight. I took it back to the dealer and first they haven't identify the issue. On my second visit i asked them to drive another corolla s which was ok and the tech guy said he now knows what the issue was. But unfortunately he doesn't know the fix and told me it has to come from toyota it self. Driving in this vehicle has become very hard for my wife. I really hope toyota toyota is actually taking this issue seriously.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. While driving unknown speeds, the steering wheel had friction and was not centered. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer (cross bay toyota, 2001 n bayshore dr., coos bay, or 97420), but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified and opened case number: 1803082465. The contact was referred back to the dealer by the manufacturer. The failure mileage was 188,000.

When the speed goes over 60-65 mph, the car tends to be pulled to different directions, wobbling and making me feel very unsafe to drive. Even if i'm holding the steering wheel firmly and steadily, the car would be pulled to right side, then nextmoment to left side.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contact stated that the vehicle would not drive normally. The vehicle began to drift to the left while driving. The vehicle was traveling at 65 mph when it began drifting. The failure mileage was 800. The current mileage was 24,000. Updated 3/17/10 updated 05/20/10.

Since the first day i leased my toyota corolla it has had brake and steering problems. I have brought it back to the dealer within the first week and many times since. The car is all over the road and the brakes go to the floor sometimes. The last time i met with the manager in which he told me it was normal in corollas. They checked alignment and everything was fine but they did replace 2 tires due to them being totally worn after 16k miles. My wife has to drive this car everyday to work. I think the car is unsafe and should be known to others.

I purchased a 2009 toyota corolla s model on march 23, 2008. Since i have owned this vehicle i have noticed that it is very difficult to keep the car moving straight down the road. For some reason there is a lot of "extra play" in the steering wheel which forces the driver to continually move the steering wheel left and right to keep the car going straight. This is the 3rd corolla i have owned in my lifetime and i have never had an issue like this. It seems there may have been a faulty design plan used when toyota manufactured this new model vehicle. Can you please tell me how i should address this issue and what my next steps might be? thank you!

Safety problem with steering when driving at highway speeds on 2009 corollawhen driving at highway speeds, the car tends to veer to one side or the other, especially when driving along a curve, apparently due to the vague, unresponsive electric power steering system.this causes a sense of loss of control and the need to hold on tightly to the steering wheel to keep the car from veering outside of the lane.this is considered to be a serious safety issue and i don't see how this can be remedied by any adjustment or repair except to recall the car itself and take it off of the road.this occurred the first day i drove the car on the highway.

2009 toyota corolla steering is extremely light and requires constant correction to hold a straight line.even on a calm day it is like driving in a heavy wind.on a windy day speed must be reduced to maintain control.if you run the tires at recommended pressure it is even more difficult to maintain control.about 32 lbs is optimum but still work. This way since purchase. If you lit the steeringdrift go too far a sudden correction causes an oversteer.

I have a toyota corolla 2009. My car has some problem with its steering because steering is not steady,and it is moving around line.

Power steering stopped working suddenly, car veered to the right, became very difficult to steer; dashboard warning light went on. This has occurred up to 20times, sometimes as soon as the car is turned on, sometimes on the freeway at high speed. If vehicle is in motion, loss of power steering causes vehicle to jump sideways. At times, loss of power steering is preceded by groaning sound. Owners' manual advises stopping the vehicle, waiting until warning light goes out, and taking car to dealer. I have taken car to toyota dealers on three separate occasions. The computer memory shows the warning light going on, but there appears to be nothing wrong with electric power steering unit, and dealer can not duplicate occurrence on a test drive.

I have a 2009 toyota corolla that drifts on its own at highway speeds, with no change in steering. I drive 25,000 miles a year and this is a real problem, and i don't believe this is a tire or alignment issue! when i had the car in for the gas pedal recall i asked them about this issue and they stated until there is a recall issued they didn't have a fix. I couldn't believe that they didn't want to at least look at the problem while it was there. I love the car and i'm a big toyota fan but they need to fix this!

My 2009 toyota corolla purchased in december of 2010 has "wandered" slightly while driving at highway speed since i purchased it. This has been an intermittent occurrence that often left me questioning alignment or road condition until today when while driving to work the problem again occurred and unlike the previous occurrences where the car would drift slightly much like what might occur while driving in high wind, the car began to swerve in and out of the lane requiring me to come to nearly a complete stop in the middle of a freeway. This is my 3rd toyota and 2nd corolla (2003) traded in for this vehicle. I have been driving since 1977 and am a safe driver that understands that different models and equipment changes may create subtle differences from vehicle to vehicle. This condition is not however, something one can contribute to anything logically related as it starts without warning, usually at speeds over 50 to 55 mile per hour and in varying severity. This was a nuisance until today and now is something that leaves me fearful to drive as had there been a vehicle next to me, a collision most likely would have been unavoidable. The road surface was clear, the weather was clear and the wind was low, so weather did not play as a factor.

I am having a problem with toyota steering. I tried calling 3-4 times at toyota santa monica,california tried doing online request on recalled car's appointment but everytime they said me that they will call me back but nobody called. I begin experiencing the steering issue again and when i went to the office here in santa monica they asked me to come back.they said office is open until 7pm but i went at 5pm and they did not assisted me. Anyways, i don't know what to do, my car has 3-4 recalls but none of them are addressed until now.

2009 corolla steering failure - please bring this issue to light.my power steering just failed and i had to have both the steering column and steering computer replaced.

2009 toyota corolla steering issue at highway speeds. When at 50 mph or above my car starts pulling or turning while holding the wheel straight. I was playing tug of war. If its windy outside at all, the steering gets worse looking as if i'm a drunk driver or something.

When car is driven at highway speeds, 70-75 mph, steering pulls left and right rapidly, causing car to become very unstable in handling.seems to drift in its lane.when driving it is very unpredictable.i just purchased this vehicle used and became aware of it. No accident issues only 40,000 milescontacted toyota dealer in green bay, and they said they never heard of any complaints regarding the 2009 corolla electric assisted power steering. Further stated i should 'try and find something on the internet' to show if there are any issues.. Complete stonewalling..

Car would not track down the highway. Feels like i'm constantly corralling this car , adjusting the steering wheel to stay in my lane of traffic. In my 40 plus years of driving, i have never experienced this behavior from a vehicle. This behavior actually occurs at all speeds. Have been told by my mechanic that it is not an alignment issue, but is a manufacturing problem. Seems like a grave safety concern to me.from the sheer number of complaints on steering components, looks like someone needs to be a little more proactive and pull the trigger on a recall.

Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)2009 toyota corolla with 9500 miles, has steering issue at speeds over 60 mph.steering goes soft and feels like driving a shopping cart with loss of stability, wandering in lane, and feeling of wind gusts around car when it is not a windy day.experienced in prior months beginning november 2009, bought car new in july 2009, mostly city driving, though.drove from va beach to dc on april 7, 2010, returned april 8, 2010.routes driven were 64 and 95.most of stability loss occurred on southbound 95 in heavy traffic.i am an experienced driver with no accidents of any kind in over 30 years.i have driven toots primarily.i am filing this to report the unsafe condition, but there was no accident.since originally feeling the stability loss in november, 2009, i have tried to catalog the times the car's steering is amiss.overwhelmingly, it occurs at speeds of 65-70 mph, and in order to control the wandering, i grip the wheel tightly, like i am driving a snowmobile down a bumpy hill.it is exhausting, and very, very distracting.only in the heavy traffic on 95 recently, i felt very unsure of my ability to control the car.i plan to discuss all of this with the local toyota dealer.[xxx]

I have had trouble with my 2009 toyota corolla steering since it was new [ february-2009 ]i think the firestone tirescontribute to the problem but not only cause. I feel it's related to electronic power steering control. Not sure how to describecircumstance. It is mostly felt when you make turns and are accelerating into the turn the steering doesn't respond back and may cause you to go off the road. Maybe because the steering wheel needs to be turned back a lot to get back straight onto the road.happens any time . I'm adjusting to this situation but don't likewhat may happen if it catches me off guard some day.

I have a 2009 toyota corolla. Within the first few weeks i noticed that the car did not track straight. It seemed to take constant correction to the steering wheel to keep it going in a straight line. I took it to the dealer for alignment and they said they checked it and the alignment was fine. I also took it to an independent serviceman and they said it was fine also. Itstill is not right. I have gotten used to it a little. I am taking my car in to the dealer next week for the brake pedal recall and i will lodge a complaint with them at that time.

I had very scary experience with toyota corolla 2009 on highway drive. I am not able to control steering over 60mph. At higher than 60 mph the car is either shifting towards right or left. It was strange to see other vehicles are passing my car with no problems. I was holding my steering with both the hands but still its not in control .

While making a left turn yesterday,my steering wheel started shifting so hard that made me lose control of the car, causing me to spin and hit another car also turning left.i was driving with caution, especially because it had been previously raining,but the worst part is that it's not the first time this has happened to me.i reported another accident in 2010 caused by the same failed component.i was driving on a straight lane while raining and all of the sudden my steering wheel lost control and my car span 2 times,making me end on a ditch. Thanks god the road was clear, so my car didn't hit any other car;however, this has been the most terrifying experience of my life!; it left me with a trauma that was with me for over a year. It made me terrified of driving this car, especially under raining conditions.after that i bought new tires,then took it to toyota to get checked.they said the steering was in fact shifting, and that the computer that controls it wasn't working correctly, so they replaced it.i felt more secure afterwards,so i drove my car normally, still feeling the shift under windy conditions,blaming it on the wind for not feeling terrified anymore..until yesterday!this time causing me to crash onto another car!now i'm scared to death to drive my car, and have to lose time, stress and aggravation on something that should've been a recall years ago!it is ridiculous that after having the power to force any company who's not following security regulations,the nhtsa is still not censuring toyota who claims so strongly "security first".how many wrecks, injuries and deaths need to occur for nhtsa to realize this as a major safety issue because it affects the driver in such an abrupt manner! something needs to be done now! god forbids, this happens again and i'll make sure all organizations/corporations involved get sued for not taking drastic measures.

Steering erratic on highway speeds. Car is unstable at highway speeds, steering too loose.

The car is constantly moving left or right in your lane with outyou moving steering wheel. You need to correct all the time. Some times when you correct a little it moves a lot. Every one that drives car has same problem with steering. To me it is a safety problem.can cause you to loose control of car. Thanks [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

My daughter stated she was having a difficult time with the steering and keeping the car centered on the road.she went around a curve and lost control.the car spun around and landed driver's side down, backwards in a ditch.

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.

I purchased a 2009 corolla xle because i commute to work and needed something with better gas mileage.the plan was to give the car to my daughter in two years when she goes away to college. The car is very dangerous.i constantly have to correct the steering.it scares me.the dealership claims that there is nothing wrong with the car.i know that there is something wrong.what can i do.i am scared to death driving it, and i would never let my daughter drive it.

Takata recall - dealer was contacted but no parts available june/1/2015unintended acceleration at a security gate when braking to approach gate arm. 04/24/2017

I already filed a previous complaint but forgot to mention that if i go pass 40 the car steers on its own as if it's hydro planing on dry road. I drive on i75 to and from work. Speed limit is 70 and when i reach the speed limit i have to constantly be correcting the steering of my car. *cw

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contact was driving at 65 mph. The contact was switching into the left lane when the vehicle started to accelerate excessively without warning. The contact also stated that power steering malfunctioned and caused the vehicle to pull to the right when she pulled the wheel to the left. The contact also stated that she heard a small tapping noise under the hood. The dealer was notified; however, an appointment has not been scheduled. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 8,000.

1) driving at highway speeds (55-65 mph)2) car suddenly changes track in lane to left or right, similar to a large broadside gust of wind3) no known fix available.

2009 corolla is drifting left and right on the highway.some vibration. Recently had new tires and wheel alignment and still very unstable, feels like driving a boat and can move left or right at any time.it has electronic power steering not hydrologic.i'm the second owner of this vehicle and have the maintenance records.the alternator was replaced twice on car which is unusual.any recall of the electrical rack and pinion for this vehicle?my mechanic did not know how to fix besides replacing the whole rack and pinion system.

My 2009 toyota corolla steering wanders around the road and makes steering difficult and tiring.

Steering needs to be constantly corrected. Vehicle drifts as though your driving through a wind storm. Very difficult to keep vehicle strait at highway speeds. I had steering checked at dealership and was told no problems were found with calibration. I called toyota and they stated that there were no recalls on steering and if i had concerns i should have it checked at the dealership. This issue needs to be investigated as soon as possible before someone gets killed. I noticed that there have been many complaints to nhtsa with the same steering problems i am having with the 2009 corolla.

My daughter was driving our corolla sport in november 2009.while turning the corner at an intersection her steering wheel locked in the turning position briefly and then began to work again.

Steering requires constant driver correction to go straight down the highway. Car pulls to the left or right, but won't track straight when driving on the highway. This occurs whenever the car is driven at highway speeds.when driving on windy days, it's more difficult to control because crosswinds add to the instability. Took car do dealer for repair but the dealer said steering couldn't be adjusted and that they wouldn't be able to correct the problem.this is dangerous because the car wants to wander out of lane, and the constant steering corrections become fatiguing on long trips. As an example, i drove it from home to arizona and back on a vacation, and my wrists and forearms were sore for a week after the trip.i've made this exact trip in another vehicle and had no such problems. The other vehicle tracks straight and the corolla does not.because my dealer will not help me with this issue and the corolla has depreciated significantly, i am pretty much stuck with a car that has a problem. I'm hoping nhtsa might be able to help.there are plenty of other drivers who are experiencing the same issue with the same car model.i would like to see toyota make adjustments to the steering of these cars so that they exhibit the steering traits of a normal car, which tends to track straight, or even slightly to the right.

I picked up my new 2009 toyota corolla on 3-5-2009.the more i drove it the more i noticed that the steering wandered.while trying to drive straight, the car goes left and right, almost like there is a strong cross-wind, but there isn't any wind.it is very difficult to drive on the interstate and stay between the white lines. You have to keep two hands on the wheel at all times and continually make steering corrections to avoid jumping into the other lanes or off the side of the road.i took it back to the dealer to have it checked and they said it worked just fine.i told him no, that it does not work just fine and insisted somebody else look at it.he had me go along with his head mechanic, and the mechanic said something was wrong, suggesting that the pinion gear had too much "preload" .they kept the car and replaced the steering.after i picked up the car, it seemed better at first, but then it returned to the same problem with the wandering after driving a few hundred miles.this is a very dangerous problem in my opinion and needs some serious followup.i'm taking the car back as soon as i can arrange for other transportation.help!

The steering (eps) twitches at highway speeds, sometimes a little, sometimes a lot. It seems to do it more in areas with powerlines and other interference.this is always, not just on a certain date. Some days it feels as if the car has a mind of it's own.

Steering i have a 2009 toyota corolla i purchased new 9/18/2008. When i drive on the freeways it is always drifting as the road takes it this way or that way of air takes the car with it even into the other lane. This is a very dangerous car to drive over 45 mph. I took back to dealer the first time they realigned the front end helped. After that there was nothing else they could do. After all i was the "only one who ever complained".

I have 2009 toyota corolla. Over speed 60 miles i feel steering problem. Its hard to stay in the middle of a lane, car goes both left and right at high speeds. In addition if the road is slippery, i need to handle steering very carefully. I don't think my car is safe.

I have a 2009 toyota corolla.since day one i noticed that the steering felt loose.it feels like the wind is blowing the car around and it is difficult to keep it going straight.i need to constantly keep both hands on the wheel.the car is currently at the toyota dealer for repair.at first they said they would not do anything because there is not a recall for this problem.when i explained to them that i had seen an article on the internet that said toyota issued a technical service bulletin that would allow dealers to do the repair if the customer complained, they investigated and are saying now they will fix it.

I have a 2009 toyota corolla, purchased last year and have driven it only 7000 miles total. I had gotten work done on it when i experienced a delayed stop after putting my foot on brake. Now i am having to have it worked on for the floor mat recall. I want to report that i have noticed when i am driving the steering is very touchy. I can feel my wheel jerk me all over. I fight it on the freeway so much i do not drive on them anymore unless i really have to at high speed because i feel like i cannot control the steering because it is so touchy! i get pulled all of a sudden to one side when i am on a slight turning road and it will adjust but instead of straightening it pulls the other direction! it is as if i am skating on ice and one time i was merging onto a highway and looked over my should to see if there were any cars in my blind side for a split second and i look back and was almost in the ditch, thank god i had a quick reflex and i knew then to always be aware of the car jerking me all of a sudden! something has got to be done...i did not buy a brand new car to put myself or my kids lives in danger...

My complaint is regarding the electric assisted power steering of my corolla xrs 2009, at an approximate speed of 60kmh is very unstable at the wheel maneuvering, starts to move unexpectedly or jerking feel towards the left hand side or right.

Bought a 2009 toyota corolla in april 2009 and have a problem with the steering as the car will not drive in a straight line and wanders on the road. Driver must fight the steering at all times to keep it in the driving lane. Toyota says it is normal and will do nothing about it.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contact was driving approximately 55 mph on normal road conditions.unexpectedly, there was a loss of steering control without warning and the vehicle began to wander into another lane. The driver was able to gain control after a couple of seconds.the failure occurred intermittently causing the vehicle to pull into one direction. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for diagnostic testing. The technician was unable to locate the failure. The contact had concerns of the potential safety hazard when driving at low speeds. The failure mileage was 8,000. Updated 03/19/10. *ljthe consumer stated the vehicle would steer mostly to the left for a few seconds. Updated 09/21/10

At speeds over 50 mph, the steering is way too sensitive causing over-correction.toyota claims nothing is wrong but this is cause for concern and should be able to be eliminated/adjusted by a software update.

The vehicle steering is very sensitive at highway speeds.also when another vehicle passes the car the corolla becomes very unstable and is difficult hold in the lane. The steering has been like this since new and the dealer says they can do nothing to fix it.

I own a 2009 toyota corolla. The car is about 9 months old. I noticed in january 2010 that the car is not steady at high speeds. On the highway, at about 60 mph, the car required constant maneuvering of the steering wheel to prevent it from drifting off a lane. To be more precise, even when i hold the steering steady, the car drifts and i have to bring the car back into the lane by adjusting the wheel slightly. It does not happen every time i drive, but has happened on two occasions so far. The drift is quite significant and something toyota cannot ignore. I hope toyota recognizes this problem asap.

I own a 2009 toyota corolla which has electric power steering. I've noticed that at higher speeds, in excess of 50 mph it is difficult to keep the car tracking down the road. It feels as if the wind is whipping it around all the time. The steering is too sensitive, much more so than older versions of the same vehicle which had traditional power steering. At times i feel that the vehicle is not safe to drive because of the constant need to correct its tracking. I think toyota should recall the vehicle and correct this steering problem.

I recently purchased a 2009 toyota corolla that has a defect in the design of the vehicles electric power steering system (eps).when driving at highway speeds (50mph or greater) the vehicle wanders all over the road.the straight line stability of this car is terrible!and i believe it presents a dangerous problem for 2009 toyota corolla owners.i have read other complaints about this problem on your web-site from other drivers and i think this issue needs to be addressed by toyota immediately.thank you for consideration in this matter.

Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)1. Steering wanders both ways once the car picks up speed, about 100 kmh2. Apparently it occurs once my cellphone is on or proximity to the steering3. Serviced at toyota, they said there are no problems with the steeringframe no.: [xxx]

From when new the car wanders and drifts when at highway speeds.have tried to get dealers to fix with no success.went to lemon law arbitration with toyota but was declined. Dealer will only give about $7 -$8 thousand for trade, the car only has 7,600 miles on it.three or four weeks ago was making a hard right turn when lost steering control and ran off the road and did some vehicle damage.afraid to let my wife drive the car, have only put 500 miles on it since january 2010.updated 12/09/10. *ljupdated 12/17/10

Extremely loose steering.car has no control on highway. I almost hit a car. Called toyota and pretty much got hung up by toyota rep.

I bought a new toyota corolla on 5-27-09 from fiesta toyota in lawton ok. I called them to tell them it did not drive good as my last corolla and i took it back to them on 7-13-09 and they kept it all day and said it was the electric steering. It wonders over the road especially if the road is not a good wide smooth road. They worked on the steering and said it was all they could do. I got and brought it home and then i called them to tell them i was dis-satisfied and was going to bring it back. I have not took it back as they said they had all they could do. Something needs to be done about this steering problem. I hope you check into this letter.

The electronic power steering in my 2009 toyota corolla is very light and too responsive.since the vehicle was new, the steering requires constant slight corrections to maintain a straight line at highway speeds.consumer reports also noted in their july 2008 issue in their review of the 2009 corolla that "the steering is a bit light and rather vague on center."

Bought a new 2009 corolla s in late august, 2009.the car has had a problem with steering since new.at highway speeds, the car is constantly "floating" from lane to lane because the new drive by wire electric motor tells the car to be in a constant "correction" mode, there is no "center" driving position.it's always either "correct left, or correct right".this makes the driver have to constantly "re-correct', and results in a constant "zig-zag" pattern at 65mph! that's driving likea drunk drives. The car drives like it's in a wind storm, even though there is no wind, and you can't predict when the next "gust" will drift you into the next lane.greatly disappointed that toyota would continue to allow these cars on the road without a fix.was told by the toyota service manager that my car "drives as designed".i know that,it's a bad design.saw where there are many complaints about this on this site,we're not complaining just for the fun of it,we're honestly concerned for our safety.i also own three other older toyota's, a camry, a cressida, and a tercel with close to 300k miles. All of them drive better than this new corolla.shame on toyota for allowing this to remain a problem.was planning on giving this car to my daughter at college graduation.now i don't want her to drive it unless it's fixed. I also know of two other buyers of 2009 toyota corollas, both s models, that have the same steering issues.complaints unanswered by toyota.my corolla only has 5200 miles since last august, it mostly sat for the first few months, as i hated to have to drive it.sad to have a new car and have to just "endure" driving it. Toyota needs to expedite a fix, before someone"drifts" into the path of a big rig. Help!! it could still be a good car, just fix the steering!!

Constant fighting with steering wheel to keep vehicle on path!

In my 2009 toyota corolla ce the steering wheel will not remain straight when driving and lightly holding the steering wheel, the electronic steering wants to pull the car left or right, and you must hold a tight grip on the wheel at any speed to prevent the car from crashing itself left or right. Gave me a good scare when it seems to pull itself away from the road even with hands on the wheel.this is a ce model.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. While the contact was driving 50mph the vehicle suddenly drifted to the left causing the vehicle to spin 180 degrees and crash into a guard rail.moments later a second vehicle crashed into the contacts vehicle. There were no injuries. A police report was filed. The vehicle had not been diagnosed when the complaint was filed. The failure mileage was 32,400. Updated 05/07/10. *ljupdated 08/18/10

2009 toyota corolla le requires excessive concentration to steer at speeds over 60 mph on imperfect highways or in windy conditions.i noticed this immediately after purchase and had the car in to get aligned by brunswick toyota. The alignment helped only somewhat. I took the car in to have it tested in marysville last spring, however the track was in good condition and the runs over 50mph were short. I don't believe it was a realistic test. Compared to my other cars (one being a 2004 dodge ram 1500 pick up which steers better) this one requires full attention and if changing radio stations on a highway with lots of heavy truck use could cause a less experienced driver to veer into another lane.

2009 corolla steering at highway speeds requires continues adjustment to keep it from wandering and after only a few miles my arms hurt from the forces required to keep the car in the lane. I can't drive it more than an hour at a time without getting severe pain in the wrists.

This morning while driving at 55 mph on the highway our 2009 corolla seemed to jerk itself out of the middle of 5 lanes of traffic, started spinning, hit the guard rail with the right rear tail section.the car essentially bounced off the rail, continued to spin across the lanes of traffic and back, coming to a rest back on the same side i hit the guard rail.i was extremely lucky that no other cars managed to be involved in this accident.from the minute the car first jerked out of control until it came to a rest i could not gain any control over the steering or movement of the car.the car has done this to a lesser degree on a few occasions over the past few months (car was purchased used, from a dealer, 3/13/2010) which we thought might be due to hydroplaning (we're in seattle where the roads are often wet but we've driven here for 35 years with nothing like this feeling in any other car) or a need for new tires but this was clearly not the only issue.on those occasions it also felt like the car was suddenly floating and the steering jerked it to the left (but i was not going through a deep puddle/hydroplaning).it was momentary but enough to scare me and make me wonder what had just happened.it was raining this morning at the time of the accident but something else caused the car to jerk itself out of the lane and lose control of the steering.it is currently in the body shop awaiting an estimate for repair.the toyota dealer didn't want to look at it despite my description.i'm left traumatized, with likely whiplash and a wrecked car.this car is not safe!we are afraid to drive this car anywhere!i will also be contacting toyota corp. Regarding the apparent problem, the accident and the dealership's dismissal.

Driving at highway speeds the car seems to jerk right or left without warning. Must keep hands on wheel firmly while on the freeway to correct when it happens. Sometimes i over correct or under correct seems like sometime there is no predicting what the steering will do. Just doesn't feel safe to drive,scary when it does it at freeway speeds.

2009 corolla power steering make noise and not smooth.

The car's steering got out of control. The car was stopped at red light and i tried to turn left at green light. It suddenly turned left sharply and went over the opposite lane. While i tried to steer the car straight without applying either gas or break, the car swung to right. It came back to control a moment later.

Okay enough is enough. I drove on interstate 75 today in florida speed limit is 70mph. I was going between 65-70 and i came inches to hitting an 18wheeler, thankfully in my attempt to control the steering i slightly veered to the right and of course the corolla veered a lot more to the right than i intended but at least there were no vehicles in that lane. 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 carnot 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. And although not physically injured, i am developing a fear of driving with this car on the highway. This is crazy. I am only 25 i shouldn't be frightened of driving my 2009 corolla.tw*

Steering -gentle turns of the wheel can result in exaggerated motions.*tw

Purchased 2009 toyota corolla yesterday. Drove 140 miles mostly highway. I noticed the car wanders at highway speed as itwas gusty when it isn't. This is for my wife, how will it act during real wind and/or ice? i am disappointed and have already scheduled dealer to check steering however sources say that this is an unfixable problem and needs recall.

My 2009 toyota corolla has a steering problem. The steering is too sensitive. If i look down for just a second or two, the car drifts off the road or it drifts into other lanes quickly. It is especially bad when the wind blows. It happens all of the time especially during medium to high speeds. It contributed to two separated accidents where the car drifted into the guardrail causing thousands of dollars in damage.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contact statedthat the contact was driving at approximately 65 mph, when the vehicle suddenly began steering to the left. The contact stated that the power steering failed and the vehicle crashed into the side of a building. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for a diagnostics test and the dealer stated that he/she would call the contacts insurance company and the manufacturer. The current and failure mileages were approximately 28,000. Updated 05/11/10. *lj

The car was purchased on 10\19\2010 in a town about 3 hours from where i live.my wife drove the car home. Tire pressures were checked and were at 30 psi per the vehicle's manufacturer's label.i then drove the car (for the first time on a highway) and noticed that the car was indeed unsteady in curves.it wondered left and right and the power steering seemed loose or was adding power steering boost when not necessary.on 11/01/2010 i brought the car to an alignment shop that bighorn toyota uses.they said the alignment was not within specs.afterwards and on my way home (about 1 1/2 hour drive down interstate and two lane roads) i now noticed that the vehicle, when in left curves, continued to have this slack or loose feeling at highway speeds and would not correct itself or straighten out coming out of the curves.one would have to keep your hands on the steering wheel to compensate for the looseness.right corners or curves were not loose and the vehicle would correct itself once you came out of the curve.thinking that the alignment was not done correctly i went to another shop (big o) in craig, co.they said the alignment was perfect (i have both print outs to confirm). At this time i decided (after discussion with the store manager) replace the tires with a higher quality tire.the same problem still existed afterwards.i contacted a toyota service manager, they are aware of the issue but have no fix for the problem as of this date.this may not be a big problem on dry roads but on icy, snow packed or wet roads, this car will be a handful to keep it under control.

At around 50 miles on up the car starts to wander all over the road . It does not matter if you have 1 or 2 hands on the wheel . The car just drifts from side to side. I am an ase certified mechanic and i cant understand why there is no saftey recall involving such a serious condition.toyota is asking for a lot of trouble if they cant find a fix for this issue.

2009 corolla, high speed steering and wondering, had the alignment check, was told it was fine and was just me. Filing a complaint now because others have had the same experience and it isn't me.

While driving on the highway my 2009 toyota corolla sways back and forth in the lane, sometimes causing my vehicle to go into the left or right lane. For awhile i thought it was due to the wind or maybe the road being uneven but i have driven on different highways and it has occurred many times. The vehicle sways when i reach speeds of 40+. The wheel will be straight but the vehicle will still sway from side to side. I saw that other 2009 toyota corolla owners were experiencing the same issue and i realized it was something to do with the vehicle and not just surroundings such as the wind or the road.

As a current owner of a 2009 toyota corolla i believe that the steering issue is something that needs to be looked at. While i have not had any serious problem, the car at highway speeds, on a windy day is very uncomfortable to drive. It seem that at highway speeds the feed back to the driver does not allow for good control when hit with a gust of wind. This car even on a good day needs to be driven with great care to keep it in its lane. I am sure this is not the last we will hear of problems with this.

While driving my 2009 toyota corolla it "floated" into the lane next to me. I was coming to a stop at a traffic light and the vehicle started to "float" into the right lane next to me. I turned the steering wheel to the far left and the vehicle continued to turn to the right. I had no control over the steering. I came to a complete stop and when i started to drive again the vehicle drove fine. The roadway was dry.

2009 corolla s with steering problems.i bought my 2009corolla in 2008.i love the car but hated the steering.at first i thought it was the wind pushing the car around but realized it was not the wind.i had to always compensate for the wandering of the car and it was quite tiring on my arms.sometimes the steering wheel was turned and it was going straight, sometimes the steering wheel was straight and it was heading for the ditch.i parked it in the winter (probably would have had an accident with it if i had not).it was like driving on ice all the time. I reported it to the dealer.the mechanic took it out for a test drive and said the power steering rack was bad. They ordered one and replaced it (under warranty) along with the recall for dripping fluid on the brakes.

Electric power steering over corrects. Dangerous while driving at high speeds.first time i had to reporta life threatening incident.my 2009 toyota caused me to pull over twice to check the steering.it felt as if was hit with by heavy winds.while driving at above 60mph i was fighting to control the steering, the car would cross over lanes wasabout to loose total control, on several long turns in the hwy. At times it was safer to drive with no hands.!!! there was no mechanical noise while driving, but i'm now afraid of the car, my daily commute is 80 miles.i purchased this card second hand from a dealer.today i registered the car with toyota.com after my terrifying experience;to my surprise the previous owner had reported a long list of issues from faulty sensors to steering problems.hate to assume that this was the reason to trade-in the car.but ill be looking to do the same.i hope this helps nhtsa investigate this issues.

2009 toyota corolla may not be safe on the road. The car drifts from minor steering input at speed of 70 mph or higher. I initially thought the drifting was caused by wind until i learned that other corolla owners experienced same.

There is a steering problem with my 2009 toyota corolla with electronic power steering that i believeis extremely dangerous. 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. According to toyotamy car is in perfect shape. All steering tolerances are correct. The tire pressure has been monitored and maintained at 30lbs as is recommended by toyota since the car was new.

I have a 2009 toyota corolla. When driving above 60 mph the power steering is causing the car to wander out of the lane even when i hold the steering wheel straight. I have taken my car into the toyota dealership three times since january 2009, however the problem still exist and has not improved. I called the toyota dealer 2/26/2010 and was told they could not do anything until toyota told them a solution to the problem. They told us they would fix the problem even after the warranty ran out at 36,000 miles. I have 14,000 miles on the car now, do i have to wait for an accident to happen? the car changes lanes on its own andit is hard to control it at speeds above 60 mph.

Purchased a new 2009 corolla s about 3 months ago from the local dealer in ardmore, ok.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.

The contact owns 2009 toyota corolla. The driver stated that whenever he drove his vehicle over 55 mph he noticed that it would drift as if there was a strong wind blowing. The contact stated that the vehicle also performed as if there was too much lubrication in the steering column. The failure mileage was 31,000 and the current mileage is 38,000. Updated 04/13/10.the consumer stated the steering problem has become progressively worse.the dealer stated there was no fix for the problem, and they were waiting for a solution from toyota.updated 05/11/10.updated 08/19/10

The steering on my 2009 toyota corolla s feels loose at highway speeds. Car feels like it drifts and needs constant correcting, always feels like you need a firm grip on the steering wheel with both hands. Feels as though you are driving in windy conditions when it's calm.i do not have this probably at lower speeds. The problem occurred as soon as i purchased the car, april 2009, and i still experience it now. I have not attempted to correct the problem. I thought i was over sensitive to it since it was a new car i was not used to driving, but after seeing this website, i know it is the car, not me.

My 2009 toyota corolla keeps pulling left - it is particularly obvious (and more difficult to handle)when driving 55mph+ on the highway. I went to my dealership, reported the problem and asked them to check on it last week. They said that there was no problem with the alignment of the car. However, they rotated my two front tires - which did not fix the problem. My car keeps pulling left when driving at high speeds (55 mph+) on the highway. This hasn't caused an accident yet, but it does make it difficult to drive the vehicle.

Within a few weeks of purchasing my toyota corolla 2009, i noticed at both slow and fast speeds the car drifts to the right or left depending on the inertia of the car. The car does not stay in its lane-- i.e. The car does not drive in a straight line -- without full attention and steady pressure of both hands on the wheel to correct the drift. On highways (from 45mph and especially from 65mph) this problem is exaggerated -- i.e. Small drifts or corrections can result in swerving and have greater potential for an accident. On one occasion i experienced drifting off the road and was able to correct in time. However, it struck me as such a danger that i stopped driving the car at higher speeds and avoid highways altogether wherever possible. The vehicle failure mileage was about 100 and current mileage is 8,500. This complaint updates a prior complaint filed february 4, 2010.

I would like to add our 2009 toyota corolla to the list of cars with a steering problem.at low speeds it seems to work just fine.it is when traveling on the freeway that the car seems to have a mind of its own.it takes constant effort to keep the car in the lane and after lane changes or slight curves the car will often shoot further in the direction of the turn and has to be caught and pulled back.

My car(corolla 2009) does not hold the road. Very hard to steer strait , makes me very nervous on freeways. I have had it in the shop for aligment 3 or 4 times . Wind and rain makes it worse. They know something was wrong from day , just like i did. I thought it was the tires after so many trips to service dept. Ihave been dealing with it. Until i read the news release on steering trouble.

Notice the steering wheel sometimes pulses only when my cell phone is (docked) near docked to the right of the steering wheel. It's strange i can sometimes tell if my black berry is going to ring or get an email.the steering wheel seems to shake or try to steer on its own.this is similar to my other 2009 toyota corolla that i resold to the dealer. I wonder if more shielding is needed to reduce any interference.

I was driving with 30 mile/hour on the anderson mill road, austin, texas. All of sudden, the steering wheel became very heavy, just like steering was locked. It's so difficult to change direction. In this situation, i almost hit another car when i tried to find place to park. This situation may last several minutes, and become normal. I drove my car to the toyota center, the technician took few hours to check, but nothing they found. Right now, i am so afraid of driving.

As soon as i drove home in my new 2009 corolla i realized it was difficult to steer. It is overly sensitive and requires constant recompensation to keep it straight.i have had the car a year now and the problem persists.i called this problem in to the dealership and was told they didn't know what to do about it.

I live in minnesota and during winter my 2009 toyota corolla produce a slipping on black ice sensation when passing under a bridge.this usually happens at highway speed and i'm not steering the car at all.it's like the car temporarily steer itself under the bridge without me moving the steering wheel.i have to keep the steering extra still to avoid a skid or shifting to another lane.my car also has poor antilock braking.the antilock frequency is way to high to be effective in low speed driving.it usually cause skid and long braking distance.

I own a 2009 corolla since may 2008 and since the first day i bought my car, i have had this feeling that the steering on my corolla is "super sensitive" and that isa challenge to keep the car from veering to either side. I had the alignment checked but that did not help a lot. I always thought that maybe it is due to the fact that the 2009 corollas have an electric power steering versus the hydraulic power steering in the earlier models, and since i have never owned an electric power steering car in the past, i feel it different but now reading about the challenge that other 2009 corolla owners face when trying to keep it going straight, it looks like this is something bigger.it is nearly impossible to steer my 09 corolla with one hand (which was never an issue with my previous cars) and it is a challenge to prevent it from veering off the lane. I have to use a tight two handed grip to prevent the car from moving towards another... Which happens within seconds and has scared me while driving, more than just a couple times.

I just purchased a 2009 toyota corolla le. I have previously owned a 1993 and a 2003 corolla. The steering and handling were great in the 1993 and 2003 models.this new electronic steering in the 2009 model is scary. At high speeds and in windy conditions the car goes all over the road. On highways with grooved pavement the car jerks from side to side requiring constant correction of the steering. Toyota needs to be made to correct this problem. I have heard that new car dealers were increasing the tire pressure to 40 psi when the car was driven off of the lot to help cover up this problem. Sure enough when i checked the pressure in the tires it was at 40 psi. Thirty psi is the recommended pressure. I have driven many thousands of miles and this is the first car i have owned that i feel unsafe in at any time i have driven it.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 50 mph, the steering malfunctioned; the vehicle veered to the left, spun around and crashed into a guardrail. There were warning lights prior to the failure. The vehicle was towed to a collision center. The contact suffered whiplash. The current and failure mileages were approximately 18,000.

On 2009 and later toyota corollas, the electric power steering system causes excessive lightness in the wheel and excessive wandering at highway speeds.this can cause vehicle instability leading to a crash.toyota says this is normal.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla.while driving approximately 30 mph in windy weather conditions, the contact experienced difficulty steering the vehicle.the vehicle unexpectedly pulled to the left or right without assistance.this was a gradual change in direction.the vehicle was taken to the authorized dealer for diagnostic testing.the technician performed a front end wheel alignment on the passenger side.on three separate occasions, the vehicle was taken to the authorized dealer for identical failures.the failure mileage was 35 and current mileage was 1,100.

We have taken in our corolla (purchased in january 09) to the dealer twice for the electronic power steering (eps) problem.the car is very difficult to drive on the highways.it refused to keep a straight line and we constantly have to over correct to keep a straight line on a flat road (driving on ice or in high winds comes to mind). We have noticed that even at slow speeds in parking lots that if the wheels are turned and the steering wheel moves back to center the wheels will not straighten up and you have the turn the wheel in the opposite direct to correct the wheels.the dealership has performed an alignment and they replace the steering rack.the issue has not gone away and they found that testing three other corollas on the lot all have the same eps problem and they are stumped.they have filed a tech case with toyota about the eps issue.i have also opened a complaint ticket with toyota tms in california 1-800-331-4331.they have been in contact with us and a toyota representative is going to inspect the car next week.if they are unable/unwilling to give us a resolution we are going to contact a nc lemon law lawyer. We just want the car to function correctly and free it is an accident waiting to happen.my wife is sick of driving it and has moved back to our older 2004 corolla.it makes me sick knowing how much we paid for this 2009 xle!

I own a 2009 toyota corolla and the problem is that the steering has to be constantly adjusted to keep it from wondering off center.this occurs at all speeds.it reminds me of driving a go-cart.the steering is extremely sensitive to any turning of the steering wheel.it responds more like driving with a joystick.the tires are properly inflated.the car is new with only 4,200 miles and has never been driven on rough roads.a toyota dealer service rep (naples, fl) said it is natural with small cars.i find it very difficult to drive without constantly watching the road and adjusting the steering.looking to the side such as reading a road sign could get me in a lot of trouble.this problem happens at all time and not on a particular day per below.

On january 11th 2009 i got in an accident in my 2009 toyota corolla.i was traveling at approximately 65 mph on the i-5 south in san diego.i noticed a car inching into my lane close to hitting me so i immediately took evasive action and turned my steering wheel to the left and immediately lost control. I skidded to the left then to the right trying to counter steer the whole time to no effect.i hit the car that i was trying to avoid and then spun 180 degrees and slammed into the center divider.i feel that i lost control way to easily.i noticed not being able to keep the wheel steady as well prior to the crash.i received whiplash and wash treated at a military hospital.

The power steering went out in a parking lot while turning in to a parking spot and almost hit someone. Had to have the car towed to the dealership. They told me it was working fine now and they could not find a problem. If it goes out again while driving at higher speed turn it could cause a deadly accident.

My 2009 corolla steering is terrible at highway speeds, it wanders all over my lane requiring constant steering wheel correction. The best way to describe it is it feels like a huge gust of wind is constantly blowing the car around at speeds above 40mph. I've had an independent shop check the alignment and they say its fine. Now that i've started investigating this problem it seems there are a lot of corolla owners with this same problem. I have not contacted toyota about the problem with my car but all of the other corolla owners say they were told by toyota that was just the way that car handles. Please make toyota fix this problem on these cars.

2009 toyota corolla has a power steering problem. It veers to left or right even this is not steered away from the lane.i have to continually correct the power steering so it will not steered away from the lane. Toyota dealer fixed the alignment but the problem still exists.

The car oversteered and fishtailed yesterday when i was making a left turn. As a result, i almost crashed into another car in the lane to my right. I was going about 25 mph or less on dry, normal asphalt pavement, in normal weather conditions, after freeway driving in los angeles ca.in a separate incident, i found the steering to be dangerously vague when i was driving around 70 mph downhillon a steep and curvy mountain highway (i-15 in nevada, about 100 miles south of las vegas) in dark. The car was difficult to control, with the steering being extremely light and vague.i checked the wheel vs. Tire movement of my car. It doesn't appear to be an excessive freeplay issue -- in fact there was no freeplay. It appears that they made the steering way too light and, on top of it, very nonlinear -- that is very slow steering response at the center. Because of this the car doesn't immediately steer unless you turn the steering wheel about two inches. I'm sure toyota did this with safety in mind -- so that the car can't be suddenly steered -- but the end result was unsafe steering instead. It's unsafe because the steering is so vague that people can unintentionally turn the steering wheel without not immediately changing the car's direction but then in a second or two car may veer out of control.

I don't drive this vehicle much on the highway.this problem has been coming on for some time.for the longest time i thought it was the wind.it's not.the vehicle floats on the highway and requires maximum attention or i'll find myself in the ditch or worse.i've had the alignment checked and the tires are in very good condition.there's something wrong with the steering.i call it my "all over the road corolla."

My 2009 toyota corolla continues to be all over the road at highway speeds.i have to make constant corrections in steering to keep in within the lane.the eps is way too sensitive.very dangerous and produces driver fatigue and potential for overcorrections.i have read in consumer reports that toyota has addressed this and is offering a fix, only to those customers who complain, to replace the eps control module.i contacted my dealer on 9/24/2010 and the service manager stated he knew nothing about this fix.the dealers were supposed to know about this in june 2010 from a service bulletin from toyota corporate.please require toyota to issue a recall to replace the eps control module as the dealers are reluctant to fix upon request from the customer.

2009 toyota corolla,the electric steering is way too sensitive.at highway speeds you have to constantly correct the steering.it does not have any neutral steering at highway speeds, you have to constantly correct it.

My 2009 toyota corolla xle (original owner) continues to have difficulty staying centered in its lane.i have reported this to toyota corporate many times. I have been to the toyota dealership many times regarding this car.toyota corporate told me they sent a representative to check the car. I was not allowed to meet the representative nor observe the checking of the car. I received a letter from toyota corporate that this car "meets toyota's specifications".this makes twice that a "representative from corporate" has checked my car.my car still does not stay centered in its lane.it happens inadvertently so i am not able to duplicate the problem...i just know that it happens particularly at turnpike speeds/under@conditions. As a public school teacher, i am fortunate to be able to take local roads to work.nonetheless, i am concerned about the safety of this car.i should be able to drive my toyota corolla xle on the turnpike without fearing that the car will not stay centered in its lane...

This problem has happened at least twice since i bought the toyota corolla 2009.while driving straight(on an interstate) it feels as if we are sliding on black ice and have no control of the steering.i have noticed the steering wheel in general has become very loose and doesn't drive as tightly as it once did a few months ago.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contact stated that another driver was operating the vehicle 55 mph when the steering suddenly malfunctioned. The vehicle began swerving in and out of traffic as the driver lost control of the vehicle. The vehicle began to spin out of control and landed sideways before coming to a stop. The driver was uninjured. The vehicle was towed to an authorized dealer but was not repaired. The manufacturer stated that they would send a representative to inspect the vehicle for the failure. The vin was unavailable. The current and failure mileage was approximately 29,600.

09 corolla steering problem feels like its binding and wont hold a strait line. I took it to the dealer in granbury texas dec.21, 09 they drove it 55 miles and said the front end was out of alignment declared it fixed. The car still has a problem .

I purchased a new 2009 toyota corolla in august of 2009.shortly after the purchase, i noticed that the vehicle drifts all over the road when traveling at highway speeds.it is very difficult to keep the vehicle in the lane that you are driving in and several times, i have come close to hitting the car that was in the lane next to me.i have taken the car to two different toyota dealers and have been told that every thing is normal and that there is nothing that they could do about my concerns.at this point, i have elected to park the vehicle and drive another vehicle as i do not feel safe driving the corolla.i recently heard that toyota was aware of the issue, however they were not sure what action they were going to take as there were only about 100 complaints filed on the issue.i performed a web search (google) on this topic and received over 2.5 millions results so this is not a small issue.i have also read many consumer review sites and this issue is mentioned in almost all reviews of the car.

Steering 2009 toyota corolla, vehicle continually feels as if it's being buffeted by winds, it wanders from center of lane and readily veers from straight trajectory while checking over shoulder for traffic during lane changes. Condition is unnerving and uncomfortable, hazardous for young or inattentive drivers.purchased vehicle july 28 2008 and this is a continuous condition.

Steering drifts to right.must hold steering wheel with both hands at all timesto keep it straight.dealer said this is normal for electric steering.

I was driving my toyota corolla during the day and went to make a right turn into a parking space and suddenly the steering wheel locked.i just barely could turn into the parking space i was turning into and my car was sideways. My car was still running. I didn't know what was going on with it. I turned the car off and went into the pharmacy. When i came out and went to start my car, it wouldn't start.i had to call aaa for a jump start and even after the jump start, the steering wheel was still locked but the car was running. I was able to turn it enough to make it home because it was a straight ride home and half way home the steering wheel all of a sudden unlocked on it's own.now i'm scared that this will happen while i'm on the highway or in alot of traffic and i'll be in an accident and kiiled or hurt someone else.

Purchased toyota corolla 2009 and ever since had steering problems on highway.when driving at highway speeds the car wants to go all over the highway by itself.it is exalting to drive any distance on the highway. I am constantly fighting with the steering just to keep the car straight. I do not drive in the middle lane of traffic because of my car veering around and do not want a traffic accident.

2009 toyota corolla s . Steering input varies and sometimes is more difficult than others.wanders at highway speeds occasionally.

Steeringproblems---as soon as i pulled my new 2009 toyota corolla off the sales lots in december 2008 from dan cava toyota i could barely keep it on the road.the steering was going from left to right without me turning it.it was by far the most dangerous car i had ever driven and i used to be a goodyear dealer.i complained 3 different times about the problem but it was never fixed.they said it was the wind and buckhannon toyota just let the air out of the tires when i complained there.it was a continuous problem and if i made a sharp turn, at time the wheels would go as far in that direction that they could go and they car would go into a uncontrolled skid.mind u i was a goodyear dealer, i know about cars.then i noticed that as i put more miles on the car it was slowly getting better and by the time i had 3,000 miles on the car it had quit.if a lesser experienced driver had been driving i am sure it would have caused a crash.

Vehicle veered off road onto grass as if being pushed by a strong wind, however the air was calm.i believe it was defective steering responding improperly to uneven pavement.this is a known problem with this year, make and model.

Steering problem with my new toyota corolla. The car has about 6,000 miles on it. When driving on a straight road, the car goes off to the right and left. You must constantly keep adjusting the steering to keep the car in the lane. This also happens in a curve. This is a constant problem. This is dangerous and aggravating. I took the car to the toyota dealer and explained the problem. The technician rode with me and i showed him how the car goes off course. The technician drove the car and let go of the steering wheel. The car went off course. The technician said there wasn't anything wrong with the steering, but they would check the wheel alignment. (the wheel alignment did not correct the problem.) i don't know how he could say there wasn't a problem when the car wanted to go off the road. I complained to the dealer a number of times. They said there is nothing they could do about it. I asked them to check and or replace the electronic power steering unit. (eps) they would not even check it. I sent email and talked to a representative at toyota headquarters. I explained the problem. They said there isn't anything they can do about it. They will not even admit there is a problem. My concern is... If there is a problem with the electronic power steering (eps) that lets the car go off course, this could keep getting worse and i would loose control of the car. Thank you for looking into this problem.

I bought a 2009 corolla in april of 2008. Shortly after purchasing the vehicle i noticed the steering felt funny but i had never owned a toyota before and thought it may just be something i would have to get used to. But the problem just continues to worsen especially at highway speeds.i constantly find myself gripping the steering wheel so tight that my arms and hands start cramping up because you never know what direction the car is going to decide to take you. Steering the car becomes very stressful.you can hold the wheel as straight as you possibly can and the car will weave all over the road.i feel very unsafe in this car and i am very concerned for my wife and daughter as this is her primary transportation. I know this problem is not related to tires or the vehicle being out of alignment because the problem has been there from the beginning and since i have replaced the tires and had the car realigned and nothing changed. I own a collision repair facility i'm not stupid like toyota would have us believe.also this is the third major safety concern with this particular vehicle first brakes then accelerator (of which my wife had her first encounter with about a week after we took the car to the dealer and had the recall work done guess it still isn't fixed)now you don't know whether you can keep the car in the lane.i took a chance on a toyota because they had always been reliable and the vehicles seemed to last and now i fully regret stepping foot on the lot and once this is resolved i never will again i can never trust a company again that would lie to me about safety issues. Now there is no way possible to get rid of it because these problems have destroyed the value of the car.toyota needs to buy this car back and dissolve the contract that they are in breach of. I bought a car based on quality and safety and was given a death trap.my 1995 suburban is easier to keep on the road.

The steering goes tothe left or to the right... I have to really hold on with both hand to control the steering. When i go fast on the highway the car seems to lose control.. It will not go straight. I get real nervous everytime i drive on a highway. I just do not feel safe.

I purchased a 2009 toyota corolla in june of 2008.up until approximately the fall of 2009, it appeared to be driving satisfactorily.however, after that time, at highway speeds, the car "drifts"almost each and everytime this happens, i open my window to see if it is windy, because it feels like the car is being blown by the wind.my son sometimes drives my car and i asked him if he experienced this, and he said "yes", and it always attributes it to the wind, however, it is not always windy.it feels like there is a slight lack of control.needless to say, it is very unnerving.i would say that in the past 3 months i notice this problem 3 times a week.when googling about the current toyota problems, i came across a write up regarding "toyota steering problems".then, i knew i wasn't just imagining what i had experienced.therefore, i am hereby voicing my complaint.

I own a 2009 toyota corolla. Since day one, i noticed that driving highway speeds, the steering feels very loose. It takes two hands to constantly try to keep the car to go straight. The closest sensation would be like hydroplaining. This is an issue that needs to be addressed.

2009 toyota corolla is a dangerous car. Steering is horrible.

Well i received a recall letter in may 2014 stating my corolla was recalled for a spiral cable assembly and to this day i still have not heard from toyota regarding this recall and it will be a year and im not getting anywhere with then. Please look into this matter. Thank you

Steering wheel is straight and being held with both hands yet car is difficult to keep in the lane. This occurs everytime the car has been driven since it was purchased in april 2009 and can lead to accident.

There is a loud clunking noise coming from the steering column. The road surfaces causes the steering wheel to jerk and creates a rattling clunk noise and low speeds. If the steering wheel shook side to side, the apparent noise is clicking. I suspect this is a faulty steering intermediate shaft. At highway speeds, the car tends to drift out of the lane. Uneven road surfaces causes the wheel to jerk at city and highway speeds. Wheel balancing and vehicle alignment were performed. The issue has not been fixed. Replacing the intermediate shaft should be a recall as well as the replacement/reprogram of the eps module.

My daughter lost control of her 2009 toyota corolla while traveling on a wet road at a low speed.she stated that the car pulled to the right and then spun around in 3 tight long circles before spinning out.had noticed what seemed like a looseness in the steering about 2 weeks before, but because i do not drive it on a regular basis was concerned if it was normal or not.i was concerned that the steering may have played a role in the accident and when researched online if any known issues, i was surprised to learn of a # of individual experiences and concerns similar to mine...all within a few months of the start of 2009.there were many postings regarding the steering in the toyota 2009 corolla.i was equally concerned to learn that there is a new power steering system in the 2009 model that is different than that of prior years.my daughter ended up going behind a guardrail and down an embankment and i feel obligated to file a complaint over my concern relating to the steering in the 2009 corolla.the postings include that toyota could not find a problem, but not being able to find the problem does not mean it doesn't exist.recent news events include that toyota also denied having a turn-over problem with another of their vehicles.when we purchased the vehicle it had approx. 10,000 miles on it and at the time of the accident it had 13,876.

I own a 2009 toyota corolla.i have noticed many other complaints about the steering "wandering".when we purchased this vehicle we were told about the new electric power steering.i have not liked the steering since day one but i thought that's just the way it was.when driving the car the vehicle does "wander" from left to right.you have to constantly move the steering wheel back and forth to keep the car going straight.

I am following up on this complaint #10318215 regarding the steering problems with my corolla leading to drifting and unsteadiness while driving at higher speeds.the symptoms on my 2009 corolla with the steering column are getting worse.the drifts are getting more pronounced and at times feel more like a swerve.the frequency of the drifting has increased.also, i am noticing the uneasiness at slower speeds.in short, i do not feel safe driving this car, and i experienced a scary incident of my car swerving out as a truck passed me.as much as possible, i try to avoid freeway driving, which is a big hassle, considering that i have a 56-mile roundtrip work commute.this commute is mostly all free way driving on route 8 & 77 and the turnpike. To compensate, i need to take the back roads, adding an extra fifteen minutes to my commute.the dealership has been in contact with toyota corporate who are saying that there is no problem and that the case has been closed with nhtsa.what am to do when the dealership admits to not knowing how to fix the problem and the regional service rep for toyota says thereis on problem and that the case with the steering column is closed. Please help.what am i to do?i amdriving an unsafe car.i am restricted as to the use of my car. There is no resolution in site from what i can see. Please feel free to contact me with any questions at [xxx] or [xxx] .i look forward to your reply.[xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I ordered a newly-designed 2009 toyota corolla xle from a local dealership. It arrived in august, 2009.the dealership had no xle models on the lot, so a test drive was not possible.after the car arrived, i noticed that the car was pulling independently on the road to the left without just cause.i thought maybe i should have the dealership check the tires/steering/ or alignment on my next visit.as the weather became more rainy in the fall, i noticed that the car kept feeling as though it was not holding the road safely-- particularly at turnpike speed.i live relatively close to the elementary school where i teach, so i do not have to usually drive the turnpike, but when i did--the car 's steering or tires ?? felt out of control.then i noticed that the tire sensor came on and i saw that i had a flat tire when i was at school.the dealership came and towed the car in to the shop.they patched it.i thought maybe that would correct the problem, but the sensor kept coming on and going off.i went back to the dealership, explaining the car was pulling to the left and i thought maybe the steering or tires were not working.theyworked on it again and i bought a new tire from the dealership and they balanced, aligned, etc. And i paid for it.then it snowed and i noticed that the slightest amount of snow increased the unsafe feeling of not having steering control. I have tires that are bridgestone/turanza tires that are rated m/s that came with the car plus the new tire they replaced is the same kind.please know that we have owned another toyota for 12 years and nothing like this happened.i am scared to drive this car.i feel unsafe.

I was driving down interstate 65 in indiana on a windy day and was having trouble keeping my car in my lane. The car was all over the place and i had to constantly fight to keep it on the highway. I slowed down and it did not help. For a while i have heard a clunk noise in the passenger side front tire when hitting a bump. I thought the noise was a broken strut. I took my car to the shop today (midas) in hammond indiana and they said the noise was probably from a loose tie rod. The mechanic showed me he could move the front wheel while the car was in the air 1 to 2 inches to either direction left or right without moving the steering wheel or front wheel on the other side of the car. The tie rod had over one inch of play going into the steering gear box. The car has never been in an accident and this should have never happened at 41,128 miles. I could have been killed. My car is now at my local toyota dealer getting a brand new electric rack steering gear box and tie rod on the front passenger side.

I havea wandering problem with my 2009 toyota corolla.i have tried new tires and alignment to no avail. At highway it tends to wander around the lane even with no wind present.

Our 2009 toyota corolla is very difficult to steer on the highway.constantly have to make corrections to keep it in the lane. This is a constant problem and not a single incident.

I purchased my toyota corolla s 2009 in december 2008 brand new at the menlove dealership in bountiful, utah. From the very beginning i had issues with steering control when driving on high speeds (65-80 mph). It feels that i have to hold on to the wheel really tight otherwise my car is going to wonder into a different lane. Or it seems that the wind is blowing my car away while there is no wind. My alignment was and is fine. I am very nervous to drive, especially when there are many other cars around. It does add up to extra stress. And i don't feel safe. I drove other cars and none of them had that issue or gave me the feeling that i am loosing control over my car. My husband has the same experience. When i addressed the issue initially right after the purchase, i was told that possibly i have to drive it for some time "to break it in". It has been a year now, and the issue is still there.on february 27, 2010, i took my car back to the dealership to get the recall fixes done. I addressed the steering control issue, they took it for an extra day to test drive. When i got my car back, menlove representatives told me that the steering is sensitive but of course it is safe to drive unless toyota comes out and tells otherwise.i hope that something will be done with this issue. I am afraid to take my car on long trips because of the steering control. Thank you for your consideration. [xxx]

I have a 2009 toyota corolla that is part of the gas pedal recall. I believe it may also have the steering issue as well. I have noticed that my steering is all over the place, it takes 2 hands to generally run smoothly. My husband complains about it more, i just love my car so i defended it but now that i have heard there may be a problem, i think it should be looked at alittle closer. My other issue is that when we called the dealership back in jaunary in regards to the gas pedal they very nicely informed us that they were repairing the more expensive vehicles first and then would schedule me an appointment. Is that allowed? no offense, but my life is just as valuable as a camry, 4 runner, or other vehicle that they consider more expensive. I wanted a toyota corolla so bad and now i would do anything to get rid of it.

Gas pedal in my 2009 toyota corolla stuck while my daughter was backing up and caused her to go into a tree causing $7,000 in damages to my car, which my insurance paid for and she is paying higher insurance from the accident.also my car does have steering problems driving over 50 mph.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contact stated that while driving 60 mph the vehicle would drift to the right and left. The contact thought there was something wrong with the steering. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer four times to remedy the failure and the dealer found nothing wrong with the vehicle. The contact is concerned since the steering failure could potentially cause a crash to occur. The failure mileage was 16,000.

My 2009 toyota corolla sways from one side of lane to the other and oscillates up and down.this started first week of march. Dealer checked and says many corollas of same year are doing it.my driver daughter is a new driver, car feels unsafe to me (experience 30+ years driver).

2009 corolla s steering problem--driving on freeway car wanders any attempts to correct the steering doesn't help i'm constantly trying to keep my corolla with in the lane.i'm more worried about the steering than the gas pedal. I traded in a 2006 corolla for this one, no problems with the 2006. I reported the problem to the dealer they said that the steering was designed to handle this way. I reported the steering with in a few weeks after i bought the car.i went on line and found out that this was a common problem with the corolla.over the year i found myself coming very close to getting into an accident on more than one occasion because of car drifting into the other lane.

I noticed a problem with the steering on my corolla.the car had 12,116 miles on it when i brought it in to the dealer.the problem i experienced was that it seemed that i had to wrestle with the wheel to keep the car from drifting side to side.it had not happened during the first 12,000 miles.the dealer said there was nothing wrong with the steering.

I would like to complain about the steering system of my 2009 toyota corolla.at the limits of the steering system there is a loud noise.that is, at the end of the degree to which i can turn the wheel the steering system makes a loud knocking sound.i have pointed this out to classic toyota in mentor ohio in the past and was told there is no problem.i am concerned that there is a steering problem!

My daughter was parking the car at college iin a parking building going up a spiral and it would not turn.towed to datsun doctor mechanic.failure in power steering rack or the stearing gear box.

I owned a 2009 toyota corolla for only 2 weeks because i sold it. The steering was horrible, on the freeway you had to constantly stay alert to keep it in a straight line it was like driving a20 year old car. I felt i should say something with the latest problems.

I noticed again today that while i was driving on the freeway, the steering wheel pulled to the right out of nowhere.i got so scared.this is dangerous for a 2009 toyota corolla type s.what can i do?

Steering wanders back and forth at highway speeds.

I was driving in the left lane on gsp (nj)at 65mph and all of a sudden the steering was not responding properly and the car was swinging between lanes. I immediately applied the brakes and slowed down and than moved into the right most lane. On that day it was little windy and i not sure if this is the cause but i have driven other cars and never faced this issue.

I have noticed that while driving in the highway, even though it's not windy, the steering wheel seems like it's being dragged to the left or right and sometimes, the steering wheel would just swerve to either left or right...it was kind of scary!

I purchased a 2009 toyota corolla "s" sedan in the summer of 2008.after owning the vehicle for approximately 3-6 months, i detected instability in the steering of the vehicle when traveling at highway speeds down the i-95 corridor, south of the washington dc area.i reported this to close friends, but after discussion with the friend, attributed it to the new electric power steering and to a smaller wheelbase vehicle that i'm not accustomed to driving.after monitoring recent press reports that other consumers have brought to light regarding the same situation, i felt compelled to report our experience, which was well before the recent, myriad recalls issued by toyota.

Since purchased, i have noticed at speeds over 40-50 mph the car is very difficult to keep moving in your lane.it feels as if a gust of wind blows the car either left or right out of its lane, yet it happens when there is no wind whatsoever.it requires two hands to be firmly placed on the wheel in order to keep control of your car and not pass into another lane. Took it to dealer, the found no problem and was unable to replicate the situation.

I have a 2009 toyota corolla. The steering is not right.it feels as though i am in gusty wind when driving at highway speeds,it also shifts to the right and left. I don't feel safe driving this car

2009 corolla le......the vehicle would not steer correctly or maintain a straight course line.there is an engineering error in the 2009 corolla le.the rear stamped axle has no provision for rear wheel alignment. Toyota claims the car at highway speeds with self align...this is not true.the only resolve for the steering issues on the 2009 corolla le is to modify the vehicle frame so that the stamped axle can be repositioned thereby bringing the rear wheels into alignment with the front wheels.i attempted to work with toyota corporate but was simply stonewalled.i had to have a private wheel and frame shop modify my new toyota to correct the steering issue.i have all the documentation including independent hunter specification sheets both from the dealership and3rd party wheel and frame shops to verify the issue and also how the problem was solved. Again, it is an engineering issue with grave potential of serious injury or death to which toyota will not acknowledge responsibility.

Eps steering is very hard to keep car in lane when traveling at highway speed. The best description i can give is that you have to make constant micro adjustments to keep it going straight. I do not feel a pull like a alignment issue but rather the car steering seems to want to drift left or right all the time. I have a 2007 rav4 with eps and it does not have the same issues.

While following my daughter on an interstate highway, after she got a 2009 toyota corolla, i noted that she had a tendency to drift to the side of the lane, then correct the steering repeatedly.i noted it to her thinking it was a problem with her driving skills.we then switched cars.(i have over 40 years driving experience.) i noted in the rear view mirror that she did not seem to have this problem with my car. I seemed to have no problem keeping the corolla in-lane at high speed.however, i was sensitized to the problem and was paying particular attention to where i was in the lane-something that i am not inordinately focused on normally when driving.i have recently discussed this with her and she now claims that she is having no problem keeping the toyota in-lane. I am reporting this after reading in the news about other people having this problem with this vehicle.

2009 toyota corolla eps causes the car to wander at speeds higher than 50 mph. This makes for very dangerous driving conditions. Toyota needs to address the issue and do a recall to fix the problem.

Steering issue with 2009 toyota corolla, 25,050 miles.while traveling at 20mph in residential subdivision, vehicle veered left, steering unresponsive, spun 180 degrees and came to rest against the curb on the opposite side of the road.car in front and car to the rear passed through same area without incident.also, vehicle will drift abruptly at highway speeds, similar to effect of high crosswind or ice, with no movement of steering wheel and none of the body roll that usually accompanies a crosswind, requires high level of attentiveness to avoid crossing lane boundaries.this behavior is sporadic, but a 10-mile trip is enough distance for several occurrences.given the intermittent nature of this issue, i have not reported it to the dealership nor to toyota, so nothing has been done and no repairs have been attempted.

Car pulls to the right or left (variable) at expressway speeds.it's a 2009 toyota corolla.took it in to the dealer who said everything was fine but there are multiple complaints about this.has done this ever since i bought it.

A week ago after picking my son, i noticed that when i turned the steering wheel of my 2009 toyota corollato a certain point, my whole steering wheel was moving and making a grinding noise. I brought it to copeland toyota the dealership where i purchased my new car back in 2008.mon. 9/10 i called to obtain the status of my vehicle. I was told a bolt came out of the steering column and they were "trying" to get the bolt back in. Normal wear and tear would say a bolt falls out a new bolt goes in, not "trying" to get back in. I was also told that the worst that would happen is that they would need to replace the steering column. I filed a claim with toyota as i am no longer under warranty ( 1 yr and 4,000 ml over). Later monday, toyota stated that the bracket of the steering column is the issue and the whole unit would need to be replaced. When i asked the service dept, i was dealing with; if this fell under "normal wear and tear" he told me it did not. Tuesday 9/11, i heard back the toyota corporate office that they would not be paying for this and that i would be responsible for the bill, that is just over $2000.00. I spoke with [xxx] at the dealership who is the service manager & he himself mentioned that this is a "unique case." regardless if it covered under warranty or not, this is a safety issue, one that is not from normal wear and tear and i certainly did not create. I was told that i haven't had my car serviced there for a year, everyone knows that dealerships costs for preventive maintenance is extremely pricey andi didn't go there for oil changes and tire rotations, i did bring it in for this specific issue. When have you ever heard of any car company dropping your steering column to check bolts during a routine maintenance check?information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

My 2009 toyota corolla steering will drift the car off a straight line at highway speed of around 60 mph and cross over lanes. Constant effort is required to keep the car within the lane on highway. This problem exist after delivery of my new corolla, complaint to deal on first service but was brushed off.

My 2009 toyota corolla has a steering problem especially at higher speeds.the vehicle wants to drift out of lane.constant corrective steering wheel action is required.it seems that the control module does not know where center is or how to maintain center.

I am unable to drive at a safe speed on the interstate due to instability with the steering mechanism.the car pulls to the left and at times my wheels goes over into the other lane.at times it feels i have no control over the car and must apply the brakes to keep the car from steering in whatever direction it wants to go.my rear tires feel like they want to bypass the front of my car on the left hand side.taking an exit with a sharp curve to the right, i had to slam on my brakes to keep the vehicle from steering off the road especially with another vehicle behind me.i had my tires changed and a front wheel alignment, still the problem continues.the mechanic test drove my car after i took it back to the shop.the mechanic wrote on my sales slip, "vehicle sways at hwy speeds.rechecked suspension, felt no play on both front wheels, vehicle drives straight when it feels like its swaying side to side.steering wheel itself feels loose."i consider my vehicle unsafe to drive on the highway because i could lose control of the steering within a matter of seconds or if i need to change lanes at a much slower speed than most others are going in order to maintain control of the vehicle.with the average person driving 10 miles over the speed limit and some up to 90 miles weaving in and out of traffic, cutting people off, basically being rude; it makes for a dangerous situation not only for myself but others on the road.i can only pray that i make it home safely to work and home each day before i'm able to shell out a large amount of money for more repair work on my car.thanks toyota!

2009 toyota corolla s drifts all over rd at speeds above 50mph. Car is hard to control.

My toyota corolla 2009 has a strange hissing sound when turning the steering wheel. The steering wheel sometimes feel disconnected with the road.i don't feel comfortable with the steering, especially at high speed.

Most pronounced at highway speeds the car will intermittently not go straight. It feels like a notch both to the left and right of center. It takes both hands to fight the wheel to make it go somewhat straight.pulling the steering wheel out of one of these notches at 65 mph makes the car veer a few feet or more in the other direction of the notch.this is very dangerous when a car or 18 wheel semi truck is in the next lane and complicated further with a side wind.i just brought my car in for a takata airbag replacement and the service advisor knew nothing about any steering problems regarding a 2009 corolla. I went to the corporate level and again, toyota customer service knew nothing about any problems.when i asked if i could send them links to reports by abc, consumer reports, usa today and multiple other sources about law suits, judgements and decisions, they said they had no way of accepting these links.apparently, hundreds of 2009 corollas have this issue.i have experienced this issue at all speeds, although at slower speeds it isn't as dangerous but moving at a highway speed means that a few feet of unpredictability is not only possible but happens every few hundred yards. There are times but very few times where the steering is completely normal.my suspicion is that the electronic steering box or control may be affected by cell phone interference, both from my own phone and others as well as reception towers.i am a driver of almost 45 years and have logged almost a million miles with no accidents.i am mechanically inclined and am sensitive to mechanical malfunction and abnormalities. This steering issue is dangerous and has already cost lives and created accidents according to the articles i have found.please help me convince toyota to either recall the car or fix my car to normal operating conditions.

I recently traded a 2007 corolla sport because of steering difficulties that i thought resulted from 2 tires simultaneously going flat on the interstate at 70 mph. These tires had been installed by a local toyota dealership. They had neglected to replace the valve stems. Since that incident i felt that the steering was "off." i took it to several dealerships and they all said the steering was fine. I decided to trade it for a 2009 toyota xle. I just bought it last thursday. The more i drive it, the more i notice that the steering is way off also! the car drifts in left/right directions with total unpredictability. It's like driving a roller skate or a skate board. It feels very dangerous. Now i'm not sure what to do. I did not purchase the 2009 i drove originally. They sold me one of f"the truck" that already had a sun roof in it, instead of installing one. I'm not sure what to do next. It's very scary!

When you pick up speed driving and reach around 55mph or over, the car ducks off to the left as if its ready to go off the road. And this car has a lot of blind spots when trying to back up or see oncoming traffic.

Car does not steer straight of freewaysneeds constant attention or else goes into next lane.

Specifically at highway speeds, my 2009 toyota corolla will sometimes feel like it is encountering a very strong crosswind. It has happened a number of times since i owned the vehicle, but it is infrequent and so far has not caused much concern as far as safety. I have contacted toyota by email for several weeks and i have not received a response.additionally, when it does happen, it only lasts about 2-5 seconds and although it feels like a strong crosswind is blowing, there has been no wind. The tires are also in good shape and are routinely rotated and balanced.i do not know if this is a major issue or not, but a web search has found that others are having the same issue.i am very disturbed by that, and especially since toyota has chosen not to respond to my complaints.

I have had my 2009 corolla for only a week and the first time i drove this car on the highway i noticed the car would sway to the left and to the right making it hard to keep the car straight. I thought maybe this steering issue was in my head, but after reading other peoples complaints i just feel mad.i have never driven a car with this type of problem and i have driven many cars. You literally take your eye off the road for a second and you are drifting into another lane. This isn't just an issue of annoyance, this is a safety issue and somebody couldpossibly get killed.if toyota doesn't start a recall on this issue, there top selling car's record of unsurpassed reliability could be tarnished!

I complained to toyota about the steering on my corolla as soon as i drove it the first time on the highway.i was told nothing was wrong with it and i was the problem.they said if enough people complained about it they might look into it.

I absolutely have the currently-publicized problem with my 2009 toyota corolla drifting at high speeds!it feels like a gust of wind is hitting the car from time to time.it usually happens when going at or above 55-60mph(basically at highway speeds).

I was driving back to home, when i arrived i need to turn my car to the right side to my apartment but i couldn't steer my car to the right side. I decided to go straight to park in other parking space in front of me. I try to turn steering wheel but it became harder to turn then the beginning. Then i saw the "abs" light and "battery" light are on, the steering wheel locked and my car stopped working. If i was on the freeway, probably will cause horrible accident!

Electronic power steering (eps) turns off every once in a while. As a result, steering get very heavy and requires a lot of force to turn the steering wheel. I had to turn off the car and turn it back on to reset the eps motor.

Inner and outer tie rod ends bent.it is brand new car. No damage and no acciendent.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla.every time the contact enters her vehicle, she strikes the left side of her head on the door jam and hook.the vehicle has not been inspected by the dealer.the contact called the manufacturer and was informed to attempt to recline the seat.the contact feels that this is a safety defect because she could be seriously injured in the event of a rollover crash, due to her head being so close to the door.the failure mileage was 2,000 and current mileage was 8,000. Updated 07/02/09.*lj

Sorry, this might sound trite given all of the seriousness with the toyota gas pedal problems.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 contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contact noticed water on the floor of the driver side area which causing the carpet to mildew. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who could not find the cause of the failure; the dealer cleaned the carpet. The current and failure mileages were approximately 28,000.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla.the contact stated that she cannot open a rear window and have the front window closed because the vehicle would vibrate drastically.she took her vehicle back to the dealer, but they could not repair it because it was an aerodynamic issue.currently, the contact must keep her windows closed while driving until toyota can remedy the issue.the failure mileage was 1,700. Updated 08/19/09the consumer stated if the driver's window is up, and someone in the back seat opens a window, the entire vehicle shakes. Updated 08/20/09.

My husband and i purchased the 2009 corolla s in april 2008...months later the side panel on the passenger side below the seat belt and side air bag popped off the vehicle it appears the plastic piece that holds it on is broke.also, the passenger door made a funny noise everytime i open it.i examined it and it appears the bolts holding on the door is coming loose.i keep tightening it but still comes loose.another problem we have had is the fuse for the cigarette lighters keep blowing and need replaced.even though these are only minor issues it still is a hassle for a brand new car...

Driver's side mirror plastic holding snapped that keeps mirror in the open/ closed position. Due to the plastic holding being snapped, the mirror wobbles and does not stay in the open position. It makes driving very dangerous with the lack of a mirror to turn and merge safely. As speeds increase, the force of the wind will force the mirror into the closed position making the mirror useless.

Trunk lid on toyota corolla uses torsion bars for support. However in the full up position( 90 degree) to about almost closed ( 30 degree) the weight is not counter balanced . In the full up position it is prone to fall when the car is parked facing up hill on a slope as slight as 10 degrees common in parking lots for rain runoff. Any wind or placing a bag of canned goods in the trunk causes it to fall striking the owner in the head ,neck or shoulders.this is happening multiple times a week as i use the trunk daily since the day i purchased the vehicle inlate december 2008. My other vehicle ( 1993 ford taurus) also uses torsion bars but even though it is a much heavier trunk lid it is stable in all positions from just open to fully open ( 90 degree- straight up). I have complained to toyota and they are not responsive. I have been hit by this trunk lid numerous times as i use the trunk on a daily basis. As an male adult i have not been seriously injured yet but i believe this poses serious risk of injury for women and children. This trunk lid and torsion bar system is poorly designed and has the potential for serious injury. The force is sufficient that oneoccasion it caused a bleeding cut to my scalp upon impact.the dealer in late january added asmall extension arm that connects to the torsion bars but this had no benefit.

My trunk even when properly raised in full does not stay up reliably. I had this problem for as long as i have had the car but in the past year i received a notice from toyota that if i had a problem, they would do something to correct it. I brought it to the dealer and they assessed the car, decide it did qualify for the "repair" and allegedly took care of it.it has since still come down without warning and has hit me in the head several times. It occurred yet again on 11/30/2015 and really gave me a bad bump on my scalp and ultimately a large bruise on my forehead. I am as careful as i can be but it is hard to keep it from occurring repeatedly.

I was driving on the highway merging onto rt3 from i-95-s towards cape cod by south quincy area. The car in front of me stopped suddenly and i slammed on my breaks, the car behind me ended up rear-ending my car which resulted in me hitting my head on my heat rest which resulted in whiplash. The woman who hit me claimed she called the police and said that the cop told her we need to exchange licenses and registrations. We did exactly that but not phone number or anything. After we exchanged, she took off right away. The car that stopped in front of me left the scene right away. This was my first accident so i did not know what to do but now i am realizing that she may never have called the police considering that no one showed up and this happened on the highway.

I had purchased a "certified" pre owned toyota 2009 corolla xrs which was sold with a faulty gas pedal which i noticed after diving the vehicle for a week.the dealer confirmed it was faulty and had it serviced.much to my shock, after filing a complaint about the steering, i learned that the problem was not associated with the steering wheel but the fact that the car was sold with bald tires.the service technician did not realize it the car was sold the month before and was just as shocked and embarrassed by the matter.toyota had no regard for life knowing that i was driving the defective vehicle in treacherous, snow blizzard conditions.i asked to have the car reinspected and recertified.i was told i would receive a phone call when they would have a rental car available during the reinspection.apparently, there is no sense of urgency as i have yet to receive a call.

Tire indicator light comes on after driving 20 -40 miles.

Since purchasing my 2009 corolla i had to have a belt change, i had an issue with the accelerator pedal they stated was my floor mat, and then my accelerator pedal would stick. The problem with the accelerator pedal would include times of low acceleration to the pedal sticking in the depressed position even if my foot was off the accelerator. In addition, since the snow is greater this year giving me a better idea how it handles in the snow i have encountered a dangerous problem that scares me.i wrote to toyota about it on 2/24/10 and today 2/26/10. Below is my last e-mail to them."driving in the snow 2/25/10 i encountered several times when the traction control kicked in and i had power loss to the vehicle. It happened even on the highways. The car would slow to almost a stop. I pressed and pressed on the accelerator picking up my foot and putting down at times to see if it would help but it would continue to slow or have total power loss where i could not go. It was as if i had no power to the accelerator. The pedal was limp. It is very dangerous, especially on a highway! driving and having the car then slow or stop or almost stop to where i can't go is dangerous, please help!!!!! again, in the drop down menu below for the sub-type of vehicle corolla is not listed as a category. My car is a 2009 corolla".the date selected below as incident date: i selected the incident date as the date of the last time the incident occurred even though the problem has also occurred before this date.

The rubber seal from the wind sheald is flying off also the back window same problem.

Car was taken in for oil change at mileage due and toyota dealership stated oil dipstick was totally dry and to check it at halfway mark of miles. Car is not due yet for oil change until about 95,000 miles and at halfway mark oil was already down to last mark on dipstick. Car was taken to toyota and they stated 2009 corolla was not part of limited service campaign of other vehicles exhibiting same problems as my car. Dealer said to just add oil in between changes and i explained that car should not be consuming oil at this stage and they agreed but statedi would have to cover repairs which might cost between $2,000-3,000 because of car not being part of campaign with other makes which were also having same problem with excessive oil consumption at around same mileage. I started oil consumption test so that it would be on record. If other owners are having same problem, 2009 toyota corolla should be included in limited service campaign of excessive oil consumption as it was included for most of the other recalls and campaigns.

Vehicle stops running while on the street, freeway & at stops. Has to turn off engine & then it restarts. Have taken several times to toyota dealer in cerritos, ca & to our mechanic & nothing is found at the time they check it out.

I took my corolla to the 75k miles services, but at the 76k when i was driving the engine start making noise. I opened the hood and i was surprised to see that the water cooler tank was almost empty. I took my car again totoyota service center andthey said that the cooler pump is leaking so i have to change it and the repair will cost around $500.00.my 09 toyota corolla's water pump is busted and i thought all along that corolla are supposed to be the best?.this really annoying issue, with only 75,000 miles on the car the water pump shouldn't be all ready worn out !.

Vehicle was in motion when the driver's side door started smoking and eventually burst into flames.fire rescue was called but we managed to put out the fire with water before they arrived. This happened on 2/19/16 and to date toyota is yet to send someone to look at the vehicle.i am at my wits end with toyota.

I received a letter in the mail concerning toyota recalls. I went to the website given and searched my vin number and it says there are five recalls on my vehicle. I will contact the number so that i can have the issues resolved.

The manufacturer's supplied car tire jack does not safely engage its center notch to the ( "pinch welded" metal sheets edge ) designated jack point positions ( for the four wheel locations)as indicated in the owners manual. Only " one side", the inner half of the jack, makes contact with the vehicle, thus making lifting the car very unstable and unsafe. In other words, the notch of the supplied tire jack does not even make contact with the jack point.i am afraid this could cause the car to fall off the jack while it is being lifted to change a flat tire with the spare tire. ( i have tried to lift my car with the jack at all four corners, and the supplied jack's center notch did not even contact the jack point, but instead left indentations of the inner half of the jack's "saddle" on my car's underbody. In addition, i have read complaints (online) of2009 toyota corolla owners whose car actually fell of the jack when it was being used to lift/support the vehicle. I assume this is a potential danger to subsequent owners of later corolla model years of the same design platform (2009 to 2013) if toyota has not already supplied new vehicles with an appropriately-designed tire jack or otherwise made it safer to lift the car with the jack. Note that i lifted my vehicle on a flat, hard concrete garage floor. In addition, i believe i've filed a complaint with toyota several years ago; i called their customer service number, and they documented my concerns. Toyota has not responded to me since. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

When using either the air re-circulation button or the air conditioning i sometimes get a sickening smell like anti-freeze.i brought the vechile in to the dealer in september and they said they saw no loose hose or obvious leak.this problem is intermittent in nature and when i had the car there it was not doing it.they said they would not remove the dash unless they could smell the odor.i had a surgery for lung cancer last year and i believe this odor to be harmful to be breathing.

2009 toyota corolla. Consumer states several defects with vehicle *tgwthe consumer did not specify the problems he experienced.

2009 toyota corolla has very quick steering.it will move sideways if the driver is not paying close attention.the steering reminds me of driving a 1960 vw.

I had no problems with my vehicle after driving it for about 110k miles to the work and leisure, but it suddenly started "jerking" i took it to a transmission shop where no results came back after connecting it to a diagnosis computer. The jerking problem increased, and the transmission solenoids were replaced as well as an oil change was done. Problem was not fixed. I've been doing some research, and seems the transmission for this specific car model has been failing. Very expensive fix, and i guess to replace to another "faulty" transmission for this model of vehicle.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The vehicle was takento the dealer for repairs under nhtsa recall campaign id number: 10v023000 (vehicle speed control: accelerator pedal) in march 2010. On june 21st while driving at 45 mph, the vehicle began to vibrate abnormally and accelerated up to 55 mph. The contact shifted into neutral and applied the emergency brake until the vehicle came to a complete stop. The vehicle continued to excessively vibrate while stopped. The dealer performed a diagnostic and found there was a computer malfunction. The vehicle was left with the dealer where the contact was awaiting further diagnostic testing of the vehicle. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The failure and current mileages were 24,800.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. While driving at various speeds of 5 mph and up, the vehicle would drive very "bouncy," similar to driving a rocking chair, as described by the contact. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where they could not duplicate the failure. Also, upon barely depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle would abnormally accelerate as if she had slammed her foot on the accelerator pedal. While traveling around a curve or making a left or right turn, the vehicle would momentarily accelerate and feel as though the driver might lose control. The manufacturer was contacted, however they would not assist. No repairs were made to the vehicle to date. The contact was unaware if her vehicle was under recall. The failure mileage was 1,925 and the current was 88,050.

On 21 october 2016 at approximately 9:30 am, i experienced a sudden unintended acceleration with my 2009 corolla. I was parking the car in the parking lot at the embassy suites hotel in norman, ok when the incident occurred. I reversed the vehicle to straighten it up in in a parking space; then, i put the transmission in drive to pull forward. As the car started to roll forward, in an instant, the vehicle's engine self -accelerated to full throttle. With my left foot on the foot rest pedal (dead pedal) and right foot fully depressed on the brake pedal, the abs braking system functioned properly making an audible clicking sound as the car continued darting forward at full throttle. With the vehicle at approximately a 30 degree angle to the curb in front of the parking space, the forward momentum of the vehicle with the abs braking system fully engaged, the driver's side front wheel bounced over the curb, the passenger's side front wheel stopped against the curb and the engine self-decelerated. As the engine decelerated, an audible clicking sound could be heard coming from the engine compartment that stopped as the engine returned to an idle. I have no explanation as to what caused the vehicle's engine to self-accelerate to full throttle, nor can i explain why it self-decelerated back to an idle. Possibly, the vehicle hitting the curb with the driver's front wheel and bouncing over the curb could have caused the engine to self-decelerate. There was no personal injury or property damage involved in the incident. Had a person been walking in front of my car in the parking lot during the sudden unintended acceleration event, they would have been seriously injured if not killed.the fowler toyota dealership of norman, ok evaluated the vehicle and concluded the incident was caused by misapplication of pedal. An edr was downloaded, evaluated and inconclusive.

Car moving forward as i let up on the accelerator. It also jerks when i quickly remove my foot from the pedal for a few seconds and before i place my foot on the brake and the altimeter goes up and down several times when i do this as if it is stalling out. It has done this every time i drive the car and i had it to the dealership twice but they couldn't find anything wrong according to the diagnostic machine so i still have the problem.

While driving at speeds between 55 and 60 mph, the car- without my foot near the accelerator- experienced a surge in acceleration.this happened at a time after i was using cruise control but had turned it off because i was coming too close to the car in front of me and needed to slow down.as i released my foot off the accelerator and moved it to the break, the engine revved dramatically.once speeds reached over 65 (within one or two seconds) i broke and was able to slow the vehicle down and keep it in control.the accelerator pedal reinforcement bar recall was performed on 2/17/10.took it to dealer, the found no problem and was unable to replicate the situation.

I was driving on highway with 2 children in back, when car hit 60 mph... It accelerated on its own to 90 mph and would not stop (had foot all way down on break).after prob 30 seconds, the accelerator went down and i pulled off the nearest exit.if there was more traffic on highway, there is no doubt that me and my children would have crashed and been killed.

On 11/4/09 i was driving a 2009 toyota corolla. As i approached a red traffic light on mclendree church road, lawrenceville, ga., i took my right foot off the accelerator in order to brake.instantly the car shot forward and even though i used both feet to brake,the car continued at a high rate of speed and out of control.i crossed a curb and struck on oncoming vehicle.on jan. 5, 2010, in the gwinnett county ga. Recorder's court,i pled "nolo contendere" to the charge of "failure to maintain safe equipment".

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contact stated she took her vehicle in for the acceleration recall but she is still experiencing the acceleration problem, the vehicle is still picking up speed. The contact stated she had to keep pressing the brakes and it eventually slows down, however the vehicle will feel like it's going to stall out on her. The contact also stated when putting the vehicle in reverse it makes a popping/knocking sound. The contact states when she decelerates and then tries to accelerate again her vehicle will hesitate and then jerk. The contact stated the dealer says they cannot do anything about this. The failure mileage was unknown and the current is 27,000.

I had been driving on the highway for about half an hour, and i was on flat road (the area was not even remotely hilly) with cruise control set at 70.the engine began making a whirling sound and rpm went from 3 to almost 6.my foot was not on or touching the gas pedal, and i was driving on flat road.i braked firmly and took the car off of cruise control.toyota dealership did not find any problems.

My 2009 toyota corolla bought in june 2009. I reported to dealer about car not accelerating well , road noise and car engine noise heard inside the car . Also car is hard to control during cross winds on bridge above water. This is my second time buying new vehicle of same model and make. I bought my first corolla s in 2003.

On 2/25/10, i experienced the toyota sudden acceleration problem with my 2009 toyota corolla le. I was on the way home from work in the late afternoon and depressed the accelerator to gain speed and change lanes. I was traveling i71 north in cincinnati, ohio. The car downshifted and immediately ran full throttle. The brake system is also affected by this problem as i was unable to totally stop the car. The engine ran up over 7500 rpm, so i placed the car in neutral as i was instructed through the media. I was losing speed and i still needed to get over 3 lanes of traffic to a safe spot on the berm. I placed the car back in gear and was rapidly going over 80 mph.i was able to get over and when i tried to slow the car while in gear, i couldn't get it below 45 mph with both feet pushing hard on the brake pedal.i again put the car in neutral and was able to get off the road. The engine was again running at full throttle while i was in park.i turned on the 4 way flashers and turned off the engine. I waited and tried to start the car again so my wife could hear it on the phone and again it ran full throttle.about 15 minutes later the tow truck driver started the car and it ran normally. The kings toyota dealer informed me that my car was not on the gas pedal recall list.after having a toyota field engr. Look at my car it was determined that no problem could be found, that the computer health report showed no problem in the history file and the was released back to me on 3/2/10 with a no problem found diagnosis. They assured me that my car was safe to drive and put my family in.bunk!!!!i no longer want this car, i would like to be released from the remaining 13 months of my lease and i will look for another car and not a toyota. I was fortunate that i never was injured or that i injured some else. I have been experiencing harsh pain in my neck, shoulders and arms since the incident due to fighting to control the vehicle.i am going to see my doctor.

First - my 2009 corolla feels like it doesn't grip the road. I live in florida and it feels like i'm driving on ice when i go pass 40. It hydroplanes on dry roads.second - in order for me to come to a complete stop i need to start pressing the break all the way down from like a mile back.third - on one occasion, and thankfully this only happened once, my accelerator came up slowly. What i mean is that after i let go of the accelerator, rather than the pedal coming up instantly it came up very slow.in general i don't feel safe driving this car and it's a shame because it's the car i want.*cw

2009 toyota corolla.consumer writes in regards to vehicle sudden acceleration.the consumer stated the vehicle was totaled.

At random times the car begins to accelerate on its own with no interference to the pedal. It will keep accelerating until i hit the pedal and pull up on the pedal with my foot. In neutral the engine will rev up to over 6,000 rpm and continue going up. This happens while driving a normal speed and is random.

Accelerator depresses slowly forcing the use of extra brake pressure.

My wife was pulling into a parking space and when she hit her brakes the car took off just like been reported with unintended acceleration and witness even saw her brake lights on and the car was put in park and the engine was still revving very high like the accelerator was stuck wide open. This car was repaired under the recall and the pedal and floor mats were replaced. It appears there still an issue with the unintended acceleration. Now we have to fix the damage to our car and then one she hit. This needs to be investigated why cars are still having this issue someone could of died because of this flaw in the car.

The 2009 toyota corolla that was purchased in 2009 accelerated, on it's on accord while pulling out of the garage. This caused the car to increase in speed so quickly that the car hit the natural gas meter located next to the house.the force of this impact combined with the acceleration caused major damage. The gas meter began to leak and the force of impact and continuing acceleration of the vehicle, literally ripped a gash in the side of the car, approx 5 feet long. This gash was caused by the regular on the gas meter. (the meter is well out of the way of the path and has never been a problem. It has been in this location for decades. The vehicle only stopped because it was forced to, as the small section of the gas meter which impacted the car was unable to continue ripping into the car. As it finally came to a point where the door ended and the passenger side front quarter panel began.this was not reported to the police, as this happened on our private property. In addition,we saw no point in reporting it to nhtsa as we could not fathom that it was even the cars fault. As perplexed as we were that this happened, until recently, we have never been able to explain why such damage would be caused by pulling out of the driveway at such a slow speed, or even how we managed to hit the gas meter. With the given news of the sudden acceleration recall, we now have a very clear picture as to what happened.the vehicle was never repaired as the cost of this repair is going to be more than we can afford at the moment. Additionally, the gas meter began to leak and had to immediately be turned off and an emergency repair call to the gas company was made. The regulator on the meter was replaced, but we were without gas in the house for a short period. Thankfully, the house did not explode. We are very concerned about this as this car is driven 80 miles a day to go to work and return daily.

I own a 2009 toyota corolla. On 2/19/10 the car accelerated and i was ultimately collided with another vehicle.

I was driving my 2009 toyota corolla in dec. 2008. My car had 3000 miles on it at the time of my going off the road in my car.my daughter and i were traveling home in some very cold weather after christmas shopping.i was being careful due to the road being icy in places.we had went up this small incline and as we topped out i went to slow down by lightly pressing on the brake before we got to the icy stretch of highway, i had plenty of time to slow down but before i knew it we were on top of the icy highway spinning out of control.we spun out of control at least a couple times on the road with no control.we went off of the road, missing the mile marker by inches with my side mirror.we continued to go down a small incline and the car came to a rest at alarge rock and rabbit brush.we were only a few feet away from going into a barb wire fence when we came to rest. I now have damage to my car.the 2009 corolla is amazing how the ice and snow builds up on the undercarriage of the car.i know there is a recall for the vacuum assist also.i do not under stand why this recall is only for certain states that a toyota is registered in. The way the car ices up underneath i can see how things could possibly ice up and not work correctly.we have some very cold weather in our state of nm and we are not under the recall.i do not understand the thinking here by toyota.we did not make a report of this because i thought maybe it was something i did.i have played this experience in my head several times over and over and i know that i was driving with caution and was not on ice when i applied my brake.now that we hear of all these recalls we have concern that the car may be under a number of recalls.we do not feel comfortable in the vehicle anymore but i cant just park my car.i did make a call to my insurance company when i got home but did not make a claim/report thinking it would be cheaper to fix than go through the insurance company.

7-10-10 i was parking my '09 toyota corolla behind a ford on the side of the road. As i pressed the brake to come to a stop the car bucked & the engine made a revving noise. My car accelerated into the back of the ford damaging my bumper and the ford's back bumper. 7-12 i called my insurance company & reported the incident. They sent out someone to assess the damages & told me where to take my car to get it fixed. I was told to have a toyota certified technician check the brakes & inspect what may have caused this. I called my local toyota dealership & they told me they could not look at the car until the end of july. I decided to take the car to get repaired first & see if they had a toyota certified technician there. I was told they didn't but while they waited on parts they would take it to the dealership. 7-14 the toyota dealership told me that they couldn't inspect the brakes & i would have to call the toyota 800 number & report the incident. 7-15 i called toyota & relayed the incident. I was asked what i wanted toyota to do about it. I said i wanted them to find out what the problem was & fix it & as it was a toyota malfunction to have them take the responsibility of the accident. A few days later someone from toyota called me & told me that within 10-14 days an inspector would be in contact with me about looking at the car. Over a week i was continually calling my inspector to talk to her about what was going on. Every time i called i got her voicemail & it would take her between 3 hrs to 2 days to call me back, while i continued to leave her messages. After a week of this, i called left 2 messages over 2 days & asked her for a timeline of when this inspection would be done so my toyota could be fixed & i could get my car back. She told me an inspector would contact me in 5 days & it could take 30 days to look at the car. Toyota refuses to give me a rental & my insurance can only give me one for 3 days. Toyota will not stand behind their product.

Regarding the acceleration surge in toyotas. We do not believe it was the floor mats! we have a 2009 corolla and last winter when it was 2 months old, the surge happened to my son when he was driving the vehicle. He had his foot totally off accelerator and nothing was caught under the accelerator. The corolla does not even have the type of mats that are considered dangerous as in the camrys and other models. Thankfully, he had the knowledge put the brakes on hard,shove it in neutral and then applied the brakes once again and turn off vehicle. Please do not let toyota just believe this is he result of floormats. I believe it is more computer and accelerator related. It has not occurred since. Please continue your investigation. Thank you.

I own 2 2009 toyota corollas,2 months ago i took both of them in for the recall.i was just made aware of the floor mat with accelerator pedal safety recall campaign..toyota, failed to inform consumers that this was an issue they have know about it for months.not only did they keep this information from trusted consumers, they are also participating in deceptive practices.i received 2 notification of the recalls for both of my cars.i noticed that on none of the documents i received or on the envelope is any indication of a date.there is no date on the letter.so it leaves us as consumers at the vulnerability of the company, because we cannot show proof of when we received the notification.toyota must stop this type of practice.this is not human.

Cruise control throws you back in your seat as soon as it kicks in going up a small incline.we've never had a cruise control that throws you violently back in your seat.it only happens when the cruise control is on - we feel it is an electronic problem.the toyota dealer says they haven't had any complaints; we don't use our cruise control anymore just in case one day the brakes won't make the cruise kick out.this is the first new car we purchased in thirty years and now it's been recalled and the safety of this car is now in question.very disappointing!

Corolla toyota 2009 i was driving in the freeway speed was 65 all of a sudden i felt that the accelerator pedal got stucked i couldnt put my brakes on time.

We were driving the freeway with the cruise control on.we went up a very small incline and the cruise adjusted. However the cruise would not readjust at the top of the incline and continued to gain speed.my husband tried to brake, to no avail, just increases in speed(act. Speed unknown).finally, a break in traffic, shifted to neutral and guided the car to an exit. Turned off car, turned back on and engine still racing, finally on next try went to normal. I have not used the cruise since. But hearing of other toyotas with sua, i'm wondering if this is the same even though corollas are not mentioned.without a break in traffic, i'm convinced there could have been serious consequences to this incident. Contacted toyota and they checked the car with no conclusion to the cause of the event. The mat did not appear to be a cause of the event. We assumed that it was the cruise control because it was the first time we used it . The cruise had been engaged for at least 50 miles before the event. This was a terrifying event for my husband who is normally very calmand myself.

During slow speeds or stopped when i press on the gas pedal to move forward the car's check engine light comes on and i can't move forward until i turn the car off, then back on. This has happened at stop lights, in parking garages, and even on the interstate. Not safe! this is my third time taking my vehicle to the toyota dealership to fix the same problem. I paid $900 to fix the ecu (which they told me was the issue), but the same problem keeps happening. The second time i took it in they fixed something with the brake lights, now the third time they fixed something with a short to the brakes ... Something about the taillights blinking rapidly? i doubt the problem is fixed and i am very frustrated to pay that kind of money with no refund when the same issue keeps happening. A very similar issue happened in a recall with the 2005-2008 corolla/matrix models and they had the ecm fixed with no charge. Sounds like the same problem to me.

2009 toyota corolla with idle control issues including slow to return to idle on occasion. Vehicle has had brake vacuum recall completed and just today the gas pedal repair. Problem still exists. I feel it is up in the fuel control systems and have told the dealer this each time starting back on 12/30/09. Toyota corporate has given me a case number but the person handling the case has never called and is never available. Cold engine always has high idle up until full operating temperature. It fluctuates frequently. Once full operating temperature is reached it then goes to a normal idle but then frequently stumbles and drops by 200 rpm. On a few times during each drive of 45 minutes or more it is noticeable that the rpms are slow to return to idle and vehicle keeps speed without touching the gas.

I bought a toyota corolla march 2009 ,on about sept. 1, 2009 i was driving around palos verdes i saw donald trupm's golf course.so i pulled in and drove through the drop off area and ask the guy that was out there for a flyer and he gave me one and them i went to the stop sign to leave. I was pulling out and i saw a small truck coming so i jumped on the accelerator to get ahead of truckand when ilet up on the accelerator the car didn't slow down.i then had to push on my brakes as hard as i could while pulling on the strewing whelelreally hard to help me push the brake pedal real hard.the car would not stop running fast it got stuck in passing gear mold and won't stop from really racing the engine.! was real lucky there was a place to pull of the road,so i pulled into a small parking area and put the car into park,i turned the key off and them i stared the car again and it was still racing the engine really really fast. So i turned the key off again and i didn't know what to do.i didn't want to drive down the hills in palos verdes because that was really scary and i think that if i wasn't use to being around car's with my x-husband a lot,like pulling car's with a rope to start them and then slamming on the brake when it started to keep from running into the car that was towing me..some other people could panic and have a really bad accident. So any way i had a friend with me and i opened the hood and ask her to get into the drivers sit to pump on the gas peddle i tried to see were the linkage was to see if i could do something to stop the motor from racing.i could not see where the linkage was and i didn't want take the cover of the motor because i haven't done that on newer car's.so igot back into the drivers seat and got my purse out to call the automobile club but before i did that i thought i would try starting the car one more time and it was o.k. I took the car to toyota to check it they couldn't get to do the same thing and tried to blame it on the carpet.

This description is correcting my description i just filed with you. 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 driventhe car for 1,225.

I purchased a new 2009 toyota corolla le from sunnyvale toyota on 9 march 2008 . This is the third new toyota corolla / geo prism that i've purchased; all similarly equipped with automatic transmission and cruise control.on may 29, 2008, while attempting to pull into a parking spot, the '09 corolla suddenly and unexpectedly accelerated while i was braking in order to come to a stop in a parking lot. The vehicle jumped the "parking berm" and almost hit a tree before i could come to a complete stop, slam the gearshift into park and turn the key to the off position. Severe surging has occurred in normal in town traffic, with the cruise control disengaged, three or four times since the initial incident occurred. There is no forewarning or consistency in this pattern of sudden and unexpected acceleration. According to the toyota, the vin falls outside of the current recall range and therefore does not warrant investigation into the cause for these incidents. I feel that this vehicle poses a safety threat to myself, as well as other drivers, and that the cause of the sudden acceleration should be diagnosed and repaired prior to anyone being injured or worse.

Vehicle continues to have acceleration problem after recall performed. When slowing down - without gas or braking - at 20-25mph it speeds up to maintain that speed (maybe more) and becomes difficult to brake - as though it wants to continue at speed.this happens frequently and is easy to recreate - just slow down and watch it go....it's dangerous - i have almost rear-ended other cars on a few occasions.have appt with toyota of winter haven fl today.

On my 2009 corolla, i have continued to have an issue with slight acceleration and sudden rpm increase while the accelerator is not being applied, and usually when the brake is being engaged. This mainly happens while going downhill and it causes a forward motion jerk in the car that is felt by all passengers. I have had the recall regarding the metal accelerator patch, fixed. I have also taken my car into the dealership since the recall fix to address this problem and i was informed that all toyota cars do 'this' and that it is normal. They did hook my car up for a health diagnostic which showed nothing abnormal. I have driven a large number of cars which include other toyotas, and i have never experienced this phenomena. I have also had multiple third parties in my car and they have shown surprise and concern when the car exhibited this behavior. I do need to say that i have never felt like i have lost control of my car while this occurs. However, based on recent accounts from other people that own toyotas, and corollas specifically, i am not inclined to take a 'wait and see' approach to this matter. This problem happens on an almost daily basis, sometimes multiple instances in one day with 8-10 separate instances being the most counted in a 24 hour period of time. The mechanic that ran the health diagnostics (3/18/10) told me that given the number of computers that 'run my car' there could be a number of things going on that would cause this to happen but that any abnormalities would come up on their computer system, once the tests were run. Nothing apparently showed up. Approximate incident date below shows the date that this last occurred in my vehicle, but since there is not an option for date range, it is not going to accurately reflect the amount of time this has been going on (which has been almost the whole time i have owned the car, 2 years in july 2010).

About three weeks ago my windshield wipers stopped working when it was raining.i had to pull over until the rain stopped.my mechanic did a diagnostic and thought there was a bad connection with the transmission but the windshield wipers still won't work. I then was told it could be the windshield wiper motor.

Wipers stopped working on all speeds.this impacts driving in the rain, especially at high speeds.wipers are now only one speed and i need to pull over if it is pouring.this is also a safety hazard, especially on the interstate when it is pouring rain and visibility is low for all drivers concerned.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contact stated that while driving various speeds in inclement weather, the windshield wipers failed to operate when activated. The contact's visibility became limited and the vehicle was maneuvered to the side of the road where the contact manually cleared the window with the wipers. The wipers then functioned normally. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 68,000.

I purchased a 2009 toyota corolla last year and have 8,000 miles on the vehicle at present. Winter is tough in buffalo, ny so i use the windshield washer every day. There is a design flaw in that when the car is stationary the washer mechanism works fine but when traveling from 30mph and up, the washer mechanism causes the fluid to hit the windshield very low even under the wiper blades and fluid runs up the windshield forcing the driver to turn on the wipers numerous times to clear the windshield for minutes after spraying the washer fluid. The washer mechanism is not adjustable being mounted under the hood so replacing them would be a waste of time. I have an appt. At the dealer where i purchased the car next saturday to show them.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contact stated that there is a large imprint on the windshield. An impairment of visibility while driving increases the risk of vehicle crash. The vehicle was taken to dealer and a technician offered to replace the windshield glass. The manufacturer was notified of the defect. No repairs have been made. . the failure and current mileages were 30.

I noticed while washing the vehicle that all 4 wheels are have rusting areas on them. The vehicle is only 2 years and 3 months. I brought the vehicle back to where i purchased it at boch toyota in norwood ma. The service manager saw the issue and told me that he had to talk to his toyota representative about the issue. A week later, i called back and they said that toyota doesn't believe that it is defective materials. That it is caused because of the area in which i live in the northeast. Upon visiting a different toyota dealership they all have rusting issues on the same year vehicles. As years past i believe it will become a safety issue !the warranty is over in less than 3,000 miles. Please help.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contacted stated she noticed while the car was parked that the front and rear wheels all around were rusted as seen through the hub caps, which have cut out divisions that allow the wheels to be viewed. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer where it was purchased. Their only response was it was not covered by warranty. The contact wrote to the manufacturer and they offered to sell the contact new wheels for $700 and give her $300 back. Deteriorating, defective rusting wheels are a safety hazard and are the responsibility of the manufacturer. The contact lives in florida and keeps the vehicle in a garage. At 68,000 miles, the contact noticed this defect. Updated 02/11/13

The contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. While drivingapproximately 40 mph the contact heard a grinding noise in the wheels. The vehicle also began to move from one side to the otheron its own. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated an alignment had been performed twice but the failure continued. The approximate failure mileage was 55,000.

The original equipment alloy wheels on my 2009 toyota corolla are showing signs of excessive corrosion. The finish on the wheels is bubbling and chipping away. The toyota dealership says the problem is caused by road salt and brake dust, therefore not covered under the manufacturer's corrosion warranty. The vehicle is driven very little in the winter and is cleaned at least weekly. After researching online it appears that a large number of toyota owners are experiencing the same issue. I fear that if the wheels are not repaired or replaced they could begin to leak air or fail structurally and cause an accident.

Event: high frequency noise from front wheels while on the freeway.details: occurs on the freeway and only when speed is between 60 and 80 mph. But goes off once pressed on the brake. Noise will not come right after you go over 60 mph on the freeway, but after 10 to 15 min, on the freeway, it will start producing the noise. Once the noise starts, if we go any speed between 60 and 80 mph, it will continue, and stop as soon as we engage the brakes slightly, but will reappear within few more mins of driving on the freeway.resolution: went 3 times to the dealer for the same issue. Dealer had no idea of what caused the issue, and simply said that it was fixed 2 times with minimal investigation. 3rd time they had the vehicle for 2 weeks in the last attempt and test drove it for a total of 2000 miles identify the problem. No service tech at dealers location was able to get it. Toyota sent a factory tech. And he did the 3rd long attempt mentioned above to find out that it was the front left wheel hub that caused the issue.
