ON THE MORNING OF 12/16/2016, WHILE IN THE PARKING GARAGE WHERE MY WIFE WORKS, SHE STOPPED TO BACK INTO A PARKING SPOT AND THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED FORWARD AND WOULD NOT RESPOND TO VIGOROUS BRAKING NOR THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE CAR HIT A CONCRETE WALL, THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED, AND SHE WAS INJURED (NUMEROUS FRACTURES TO DATE). WE HAVE SEEN THE WORDS 'BRAKE OVERRIDE' AND 'SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION' IN CASES AGAINST TOYOTA. THERE WERE NO FLOOR MATS IN THE CAR. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR IN THE FIRST WEEK OF OCT 2016, SO IT WAS ONLY APPROX 75 DAYS IN OUR POSSESSION. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NEVER GET US IN CONTACT WITH THE PREVIOUS OWNER (ABOUT UNRELATED QUESTIONS) AND NEVER MENTIONED ANY POSSIBLE ISSUE WITH THE CAR. THEY GAVE ME A CARFAX, BUT THERE WAS NO MENTION OF THE SUA ISSUE. WE FEEL TOYOTA OR SOMEONE SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS HAPPENING. NOT ONLY IS THERE PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO THE PERSON, BUT ALSO MENTAL DAMAGE ABOUT DRIVING ANY CAR. WE BELIEVE THE ELECTRONICS ARE TO BLAME FOR THIS HAPPENING. WHAT ARE OUR OPTIONS? WE CANNOT FIND ANYONE TO TAKE THE CASE. PLEASE ADVISE, THANKS. *TR

TAKATA RECALL. I FEEL THAT TOYOTA HAS FAILED TO REMEDY THE DEFECT WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME. I HAVE BEEN WAITING OVER 3 MONTHS TO HAVE MY AIR BAG REPLACED. IT IS VERY DISCONCERTING THAT WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED TO REPLACE THE DEFECT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BUT WE ARE UNABLE TO BECAUSE THE SERVICE CENTERS DO NOT HAVE THE PRODUCT IN STOCK.

TOYOTA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005-2008 COROLLA AND COROLLA MATRIX VEHICLES. THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) FOR THE SUBJECT 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.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THERE ARE A VARIETY OF WARNINGS AND CONSEQUENCES ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEFECT. THE ENGINE WARNING LAMP COULD BE ILLUMINATED, HARSH SHIFTING COULD RESULT, THE ENGINE MAY NOT START, OR THE ENGINE COULD SHUT OFF WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN. AN ENGINE SHUTOFF WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN INCREASES THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE PRODUCTION NUMBER OF THE ECM AND REPLACE THE ECM IF NECESSARY. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. TOYOTA WILL MAIL AN INTERIM OWNER NOTIFICATION THE MIDDLE OF SEPTEMBER 2010 TO ADVISE OWNERS OF THIS DEFECT AND RECALL. THIS INTERIM NOTIFICATION WILL INFORM OWNERS THAT THEY WILL RECEIVE A FUTURE NOTIFICATION WHEN PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE TO HAVE THE FREE REMEDY PERFORMED ON THEIR VEHICLE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 29, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT TOYOTA AT 1-800-331-4331.
