Toyota Corolla electrical problems

HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS OR SO. THE ELECTRONIC LOCKS ON BOTH FRONT DOORS ONLY WORK SPORADICALLY. THEIR ISSUES STARTED HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME. OPERATING THE LOCKS MANUALLY IS FINE. IT'S THE ELECTRONIC CONTROLS THAT OFTEN DON'T WORK, WHETHER BY KEYCHAIN OR CONTROLS ON THE DOOR. THE REAR DOORS WORK AS EXPECTED MOST OF THE TIME. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT, FIGURING THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CONSIDERING BOTH FAILED AT ONCE. THEY MENTIONED THAT THE REAR ACTUATORS ARE FINE, BUT DUE TO THE WAY THEY ARE WIRED WITH THEIR FRONT COUNTERPARTS, OCCASIONALLY THE FAULTY FRONT ONES WILL BLOCK ENOUGH VOLTAGE FROM REACHING THE THE REAR ONES. FOR $113, THEY DETERMINED THAT THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS NEED REPLACING, FOR $1,100+, WITH THE FOLLOWING PART NUMBERS: #69040-0C050 - DRIVERS DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR #69030-0C050 - PASSENGER DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR I DECLINED TO HAVE IT FIXED, AS IT SEEMS TO WORK MANUALLY FOR NOW. IT'S ODD TO ME THAT BOTH PARTS FAILED AT THE SAME TIME.

MY 2012 TOYOTA COROLLA HAS ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRIC LOCKS. WHEN I TRY UNLOCKING MY VEHICLE USING THE KEYPAD OR THE ELECTRIC LOCKS WITHIN THE VEHICLE, IT SIMPLY DOES NOT WORK ON MY TWO FRONT DOORS DESPITE HAVING ELECTRIC LOCKS IN MY VEHICLE. MY RESEARCH OF OTHER CUSTOMERS' ISSUES ONLINE REVEAL SIMILAR ISSUES TO MINE. (SEE HTTPS://WWW.QUORA.COM/THE-ELECTRONIC-LOCK-UNLOCK-ON-THE-PASSENGER-DOOR-OF-MY-TOYOTA-COROLLA-HAS-CEASED-TO-OPERATE-AND-I-HAVE-TO-OPERATE-IT-MANUALLY-HOW-DO-I-FIX-IT-MYSELF; HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=UXH0ITV4_NC; HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=SJEFB1QUTVI; HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=CVB63KY1LM8.) I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY BECAUSE IF I GET IN AN ACCIDENT AND CANNOT UNLOCK THE DOORS BECAUSE OF THE FAULTY DOOR LOCKS, I COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED AND DIE. THIS SAME CONCERN EXTENDS TO MY PASSENGERS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN THAT NEEDS ADDRESSED, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE RECURRING AND CONSISTENT INSTANCES OF THIS ISSUE IN TOYOTA VEHICLES. I LOOK FORWARD TO COMMENTS REGARDING THE OVERALL SAFETY CONCERNS RELATING TO TOYOTA VEHICLES AND THEIR DOOR LOCK ISSUES. THANK YOU.

ON MY THIRD CLOCK SWITCH IN MY STEERING COLUMN IT IS THE DEVICE THAT FEEDS POWER TO THE AIR BAG FOR THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG IT SEEM THAT IF THE CAR DETECTS A SHORT OR INTERRUPTION IN THE ELECTRICAL LINE IT WILL LIGHT UP THE DASH LIGHT . FOR ME THIS HAS HAPPEN 3 TIME I AM AT 95,000. MILEAGE. REPLACING THE CLOCK SPRING SWITCH FIXES IT BUT THE PART IS NETHER A SWITCH OR A SPRING GO FIGURE. HOPE THIS HELPS

MY SMOG LIGHT KEEPS GOING ON EVEN AFTER I HAVE IT REPAIRED. I KNOW SOMEONE WHO HAS THE SAME EXACT CAR THAT I HAVE AND SHE GOT THE RECALL ON THE ECM AND THEY REPLACED IT AND SHE DID NOT HAVE TO REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER TO PASS THE CA SMOG. I REPLACED IT ALREADY AND IT IS SUPER EXPENSIVE...1,600!! LAST YEAR I HAD MY CAR SERVICE FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND IT COST ME 1,000. AFTERWARDS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AGAIN. THEY ARE SAYING I HAVE TO HAVE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACED AGAIN. I FEEL THIS IS UNFAIR IF MY FRIEND HAD THAT CONTROL MODULE REPLACED AND NO LONGER HAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT PROBLEM LIKE I AM HAVING. I BELIEVE IT COULD BE THE MECHANISM IS FAULTY. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE I HAVE TO REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER ALL OVER AGAIN. I DID NOT DRIVE THAT MANY MILES. PLUS IN CA THEY SAID THEY WOULD GIVE US MONEY TOWARDS THE REPAIR BUT IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT AND I WAS LED TO BELIEVE I COULD GET 500 PLUS 800 SO I THOUGHT I WOULD BE PAYING THE BALANCE AFTER 1300 WHICH WOULD HAVE STILL BEEN 300 PLUS BUT I WAS ONLY ABLE TO GET 500 TOWARDS THE REPAIR SO I STILL HAD TO PAY 1,100! IT REALLY BOTHERS ME BECAUSE MY FRIEND WHO HAS THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOING ON AND THEY RECALLED IT AND REPLACED IT SHE HAS NEVER HAD TO REPLACE HER CATALYTIC CONVERTER YET BUT I AM NOW HAVING TO DO IT TWICE! SHE HAS HIGH MILEAGE PERHAPS MORE THAN I HAVE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS FOR ME.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 16V340000 (AIR BAGS) AND 15V689000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE PARTS FOR THE REPAIRS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIRS. THE CONTACT CALLED THE TOYOTA OF WATERTOWN DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

THE COMPLAINT IS WITH THE RADIO. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION ON THE STREET WHEN IT ALL OF A SUDDEN RESTARTED ITSELF. I THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT ONLY BECAUSE IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE EXCEPT EVERYTHING WENT BACK TO NORMAL AND WORKED PROPERLY. BUT NOW AFTER THAT HAS HAPPENED IT DOESN'T STOP DOING THAT. IT DIDNT EVEN FULLY RESTART ITSELF. IT JUST KEEPS RESTARTING TO WHERE I CAN'T USE THE RADIO, NAVIGATION OR ANYTHING NOT EVEN THE AUX CORD OR USB PORT TO PLAY ANY MUSIC OF SOME SORT. I HAVE TRIED PARKING AND LET IT DO ITS THING AND NOTHING IT STILL CONTINUES TO RESTART.

I HAVE HAD FAILURE TO DISCLOSE ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. I HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT IN WHICH THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY AND BRAKE HAD DIFFICULTY. I HAD A BAD ACCIDENT AND HAVE REACHED OUT TO TOYOTA TO WITHER REPAIR MY CAR OR SETUP RENTAL OR MAKE A PAYMENT FOR RENTAL. I DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE THIS CAR UNTIL REPAIRED, THEREFORE RENTING FOR THE PAST 3 MONTHS

WHILE COMING TO A STOP AT A STOPLIGHT, A CAR COME OUT IF NO WHERE. I TRIED TO SLAM ON THE BRAKE TO COME TO A STOP FASTER BUT THE BREAKING SYSTEM DID NOT REACT TO THE PEDAL BEING PRESSED DOWN. I WAS MET WITH A STIFF PEDAL AND I COULD FEEL THE BRAKES PUSHING BACK WHICH CAUSED ME TO HIT ANOTHER CAR THAT HAD ALREADY ENTERED INTO AN INTERSECTION.

"TAKATA RECALL" CASE # 1607202446 I HAVE BEEN GIVEN A LOANER VEHICLE SINCE SEPTEMBER OR OCTOBER OF LAST YEAR THROUGH WOLFCHASE TOYOTA IN GERMANTOWN TN. EVEN THOUGH I LIVE IN SOUTHAVEN, MS. IT WILL SOON BE A YEAR THAT MY PERSONAL VEHICLE WILL BE SITTING WITH NO USAGE. THE DAMAGES TO MY VEHICLE'S GAS TANK, FUEL PUMP, BATTERY, PAINT, TIRES, FLUIDS, RUST, OIL, BRAKES, ROTORS, PLUGS, AND MAYBE MORE COULD OCCUR WHILE SITTING SO LONG. THERE ARE NO OTHER SOLUTION BEING GIVEN OTHER THAN A LOANER VEHICLE THAT HAS TO BE RENEWED EVERY 30 DAYS, ABOUT 45 MILES AWAY FROM MY HOME. HOWEVER, MY OTHER CONCERN IS THAT ONCE MY PERSONAL VEHICLE IS FIXED THE REPERCUSSIONS FROM IT SITTING FOR SO LONG WILL CAUSE FOR ME TO HAVE EVEN MORE SAFETY PROBLEMS THAT WILL NOT BE WARRANTIED. ONE SOLUTION THAT COULD BE OFFERED WOULD BE TO MAYBE FIRST PROVIDE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE PARTS THAT ARE BEING AFFECTED, BECAUSE OF THE DAMAGES CAUSED WHILE THE VEHICLES ARE SITTING. ANOTHER SOLUTION COULD BE TO PROVIDE A CERTIFIED INSPECTION ON EACH VEHICLE BEFORE BEING RELEASED BACK TO THE CUSTOMER. OR THE LAST SUGGESTION IS TO MAYBE PROVIDE THE CUSTOMER WITH A SET AMOUNT TO GO TOWARDS A NEW VEHICLE SO THEY WON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE STRESS OF THE LOANER. I FEAR THAT ONE SAFETY ISSUE WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF ONLY TO BE REPLACED BY MANY MORE. MY FAMILY IS VERY VALUABLE TO ME, AND I FINANCIALLY CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY A NEW VEHICLE OR TO EVEN REPLACE ALL THE PARTS THAT CAN BE DAMAGED TO MY VEHICLE FOR SITTING FOR SUCH A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE.
