I ORDERED A SUPER SIZED DRINK THAT WAS TOO LARGE TO FIT IN THE CUP HOLDER, SO I SAT THE DRINK IN THE CENTER CONSOLE TO KEEP IT STABILE WHILE I DROVE HOME. A CAR DROVE THRU THE STOP SIGN WITHOUT STOPPING AND I HAD TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP AND THE DRINK TIPPED OVER IN THE CONSOLE. I REMOVED THE CONSOLE THINKING I CAN WIPE OFF WHATEVER I CAN WIPE OFF , LET THE AREA AIR DRY FOR A DAY OR TWO THEN PUT IT BACK TOGETHER AND IT WOULD BE ALRIGHT. HOWEVER, THE LIGHT REMAINED ON WHILE DRIVING. *TR

TOOK IT TO BE INSPECTED AND HAVE THE BRAKE LINES REPLACED DUE TO AGE AND RUST. WHEN I WENT TO PICK UP THE CAR, THE MECHANIC OPENED THE DOOR FOR ME. WHEN HE OPENED THE DOOR, THE HANDLE BROKE OFF. ALSO, THE INSIDE HANDLE BROKE OFF LAST YEAR, SO THE PLASTIC ISN'T THAT GOOD. THEY SHOULD USE METAL HANDLES INSTEAD. *TR

SMELL THE ODOR OF GASOLINE AT TIMES AROUND THE CAR. VERY LUCKY NO FIRE. FOUND TWO PIN WHOLES THAT ONLY LEAK WHEN THE FUEL VAPOR PRESSURE INSIDE THE TANK COMES UP. ONE PIN WHOLE SLIGHTLY TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE EXHAUST PIPE BUT SPRAYING TOWARD THE EXHAUST PIPE. THE OTHER PIN HOLE IS ABOVE THE EXHAUST PIPE HEAT SHIELD SPRAYING ONTO THE BODY AND DRAINING DOWN ON TO THE EXHAUST PIPE HEAT SHIELD. PURCHASED CAR NEW, NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, NO ROAD DAMAGE TO TANK, NEVER OPERATED IN A SALT ENVIRONMENT, NO RUST. JUST FOUND TODAY -- HAVE NOT REPAIRED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS BEING SERVICED FOR AN OIL CHANGE ON FEBRUARY 28, 2007, SHE WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

THE REPAIR WOULD COST $241. THE DEALER STATED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 226,400, AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 215,850.

1995 COROLLA'S LEFT FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT CAUSING THE CONSUMER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. *TS THE VEHICLE TRAVELED OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD AND INTO A MEDIAN BEFORE STRIKING A GUARDRAIL. THE VEHICLE CAME TO FINAL REST IN THE MEDIAN. FURTHER EXAMINATION REVEALED THAT ALL FOUR TIRES WERE BALD EVEN PAST THE WEAR INDICATORS. *NM

1995 TOYOTA WAGON SLIPS INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING. *TS *NM

DUE TO THE FAULTY ELECTRICAL WIRING(?) DRIVING BECOMES EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS AS THE RESULT OF THE LEFT/RIGHT TURN SIGNALS NOT WORKING, WHICH CAUSES CARS DRIVING BEHIND ME TO BE OBLIVIOUS OF MY INTENTIONS TO TURN. ALSO, ALTHOUGH LESS DANGEROUS BUT JUST AS AGGRAVATING, IS THE INTERIOR LIGHTS FAILURE TO WORK; MAKING THE CUMBERSOME AND INCONVENIENT CHORE OF CARRYING AROUND A FLASHLIGHT A NECESSITY.

SMELL OF GASOLINE. FOUND A STREAM OF GASOLINE SQUIRTING FROM A CRACK IN THE GAS TANK ON TO THE EXHAUST PIPE HEAT BARRIER. UPON EXAMINATION OF TANK FOUND A DEFECT IN THE GAS TANK MANUFACTURING PROCESS. IT LOOKED LIKE DURING THE STAMPING OF THE SHEET METAL, A PORTION OF THE METAL FOLDED OVER CAUSING A WEAKEN AREA OF ABOUT 1 INCH WHERE THE METAL IS BENT OVER ON ITSELF. I REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE GAS TANK WITH A NEW ONE PURCHASED FROM TOYOTA AND IT LASTED ABOUT 18 MONTHS BEFORE IT EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE IS A PROBLEM SEEING THIS DEFECT IN THE NEW TANK BECAUSE OF THE UNDERCOATING APPLIED.I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A HAZARDOUS DEFECT BECAUSE THE LEAK OCCURS JUST ABOVE THE THE EXHAUST PIPE RADIANT HEAT SHEILD.

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK I NOTED A POPPING SOUND WHICH SEEMED TO BE COMING FROM MY CIGARETTE LIGHTER. ( SOUNDED LIKE THE POP SOUND WHEN THE LIGHTER IS READY FOR USE) HOWEVER I DID NOT PUSH IN THE LIGHTER TO USE IT, I JUST IGNORED THE SOUND, BUT DID HEAR IT ONE MORE TIME BEFORE ARRIVING AT MY DESTINATION, PARKING AND LEAVING MY VEHICLE. THANK GOD I HAD FORGOT MY MILITARY ID AND HAD TO RETURN TO MY VEHICLE WITHIN A FEW MINUTES. WHEN I ARRIVED AT MY VEHICLE THERE WERE FLAMES SHOOTING UP FROM INSIDE MY VEHICLE. I QUICKLY RAN BACK TO MY OFFICE AND WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF SEVERAL OTHER CO WORKERS, WE EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE USING FIRE EXTINGUISHERS. AFTER CLOSER EXAMINATION OF THE FIRES LOCATION, I CAN CLEARLY SEE THAT THE FIRE STARTED IN THE SAME AREA OF THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER, BEHIND THE CONSOLE.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED IN A LOW SPEED FRONT END COLLISION AND CAUGHT MY CLOTHING AND ME ONE FIRE, CAUSING SECOND DEGREE BURNS ACROSS MY CHEST. I NOW KNOW THAT THERE WERE SO MANY COMPLAINTS OF DRIVERS CATCHING ON FIRE FROM AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT IN 1995 TOYOTA COROLLAS THAT THERE WAS A FIVE MONTH INVESTIGATION OF THE PROBLEM IN 1997 (PE97-017) WHICH DID NOT RESULT IN A RECALL. I AM SHOCKED THAT YOU DID NOT REQUIRE TOYOTA TO RECALL AIRBAGS THAT CATCH DRIVERS ON FIRE. I HOPE THAT YOU RE-OPEN THE INVESTIGATION AND ORDER TOYOTA TO RECALL THESE FAULTY PRODUCTS.*AK

THE REAR LIGHTS (REGULAR REAR LIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS) ON MY 1995 TOYOTA COROLLA FAIL CONSTANTLY AND INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN I REPLACE THE BULB(S), THE PROBLEM IS BACK WITHIN DAYS. ACTUALLY, I DO NOT EVEN KNOW IF THEY HAVE EVER ALL WORKED FOR MORE THAN MINUTES! SOMETIMES THEY START WORKING AGAIN BY THEMSELVES. I HAVE GIVEN UP TRYING TO KEEP ALL FOUR LIGHT BULBS FUNCTIONING. MANY OTHER COROLLAS OF THE SAME YEAR HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. IN FACT, SINCE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE CAR (MY WIFE BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW (CECILIA KIPP - HER NAME AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE) AND DROVE IT UNTIL THE PAST YEAR), I HAVE YET TO SEE A COROLLA THAT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED (LOOKS THE SAME) THAT HAS THE REAR LIGHTS WORKING. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT NO ONE WANTS TO ADDRESS.*AK

CONSUMER ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE AT SLOW SPEED WHILE APPROACHING A STOP SIGN AND FOOT GOT STUCK ON THE FLOOR MAT, AND SHE WAS UNABLE TO BRAKE. AS THE VEHICLE WENT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION IT WAS STRUCK ON DRIVER'S SIDE. UPON IMPACT, BOTH AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. DRIVER'S AIR BAG CAUGHT ON FIRE, AND DRIVER SUSTAINED SECOND DEGREE BURNS TO THE MIDSECTION AND UPPER CHEST AREAS/BRUISES, AND SWELLING TO THE FACE. VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. *AK

I BOUGHT A PRE-OWNED VEHICLE FROM SLOANE TOYOTA, GLENSIDE, PA WITH MY SAVINGS OF $5,000 AND AFTER PUTTING LESS THAN 5000 MILES ON IT WAS TOLD I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AT A COST OF $3,700. I THINK THE SALES PERSON KNEW IT NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND SOLD IT TO ME ANYWAY. I HAVE HAD MISFORTUNE AND DISHONESTY BEFORE FROM THE SAME DEALERSHIP, BUT GO BACK BECAUSE I TRUST THE TOYOTA PRODUCT AND THEY ARE THE ONLY DEALER CLOSE ENOUGH TO MY HOME TO BE CONVENIENT. DO I HAVE ANY CASE AT ALL; CAN I GET HELP? *LA

CONSUMER'S VEHICLE REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING 15-25 MPH. UPON IMPACT, FRONTAL AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, AND DRIVER'S SEAT BELT FAILED TO ENGAGE. DRIVER SUSTAINED NECK AND BACK INJURIES AND WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE LOCAL HOSPITAL FOR TREATMENT. *AK

MY 1995 TOYOTA COROLLA HAS A "PIN-HOLE IN THE GAS TANK" NECESSITATING THE WHOLE TANK BE REPLACED. THE LOCATION OF THE HOLE IS DIRECTLY OVER THE EXHAUST PIPE, MAKING THE CAR UNSAFE DUE TO FIRE DANGER. THE TOYOTA REPAIR DEPT. SEEMS UNCLEAR IF THIS IS CAUSED BY A DEFECT IN THE TANK, A ROAD HAZARD OR INTERNAL CORROSION. IF THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT, YOU SHOULD WARN OTHER OWNERS OF THIS CAR, SO THERE ARE NO VEHICLE FIRES. SHOULD YOU WISH TO INSPECT THIS VEHICLE, IT IS ON SITE AT TOYOTA OF WILMINGTON 5640 MARKET ST. WILM NC 28405.

THE SEAT BELT FAILED TO RELEASE FOR MORE ROOM, WHICH CAUSED DISCOMFORT FOR THE CONSUMER WHILE DRIVING. *JB

THE TAIL LIGHTS (STOP LIGHTS) ON MY 1995 TOYOTA COROLLA FAIL CONSTANTLY AND INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN I REPLACE THE BULB(S), THE PROBLEM IS BACK WITHIN WEEKS. SOMETIMES THEY START WORKING AGAIN BY THEMSELVES. I HAVE GIVEN UP TRYING TO KEEP ALL FOUR LIGHT BULBS FUNCTIONING. SOMETIMES WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD FLICKER. MANY OTHER COROLLAS OF THE SAME YEAR HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. MOST OF THE 95 COROLLAS I SEE ON THE ROAD HAVE AT LEAST ONE NON-FUNCTIONING BULB. WHEN I SEE A 95 COROLLA ON THE ROAD, I WATCH IT AND WAIT FOR THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO COME ON - ALMOST ALWAYS AT LEAST ONE BULB IS NON-FUNCTIONING. I HAVE TWO ENGINEERING DEGREES AND I CAN NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I ASKED THE TOYOTA DEALER TO CHECK FOR RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM DURING MY LAST SERVICE, AND THEY IGNORED MY QUESTION. FROM WHAT I CAN TELL, THE HEAT FROM THE BULB CAUSES A HIGH RESISTANCE BETWEEN THE BULB AND THE SOCKET. THAT IS WHY I CAN TAKE THE BULB OUT, AND PUT THE SAME BULB BACK IN AND IT STARTS WORKING AGAIN. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. ONCE A CAR PULLED ALONG SIDE OF ME AND TOLD ME THAT ALL FOUR BULBS WERE NOT FUNCTIONING, AND THAT ONLY THE REAR WINDOW LIGHT WAS OPERATING. I AM CONCERNED THAT SOMEDAY EITHER MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE IN A 95 COROLLA MAY GET INTO A REAR-END COLLISION.

I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PUT MY [XXX] OLD CHILD INTO HER CARSEAT. SHE WAS WEARING A WINTER COAT SO I WENT TO ADJUST THE SHOULDER STRAPS TO FIT HER MORE COMFORTABLY. I PULLED ON THE APPROPRIATE STRAP AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CARSEAT WHICH STATES TO "PULL TO LOOSEN STRAPS". AS I DID THIS, I TUGGED ON THE LEFT SHOULDER STRAP TO LOOSEN AND THE ENTIRE STRAP CAME UNDONE FROM THE BACK OF THE METAL CLIP THAT HELD IT IN PLACE. THIS IS LOCATED IN THE BACK OF THE CARSEAT. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS OCCUR IN THE PAST. WE REMOVED THE CARSEAT FROM MY VEHICLE AND WE STRONGLY BELIEVE THIS CARSEAT AND THE STRAPS WERE SECURED CORRECTLY TO BEGIN WITH. THE METAL CLIP THAT HOLDS THE SHOULDER STRAPS HAS A LARGE GAP THAT THE STRAP SLIDES ONTO. WE FEEL THIS GAP IS LARGER THAN IT SHOULD BE OR THIS WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. I PURCHASED THE CARSEAT FROM THE ROCKLAND COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT AT THEIR CAR SEAT SAFETY CHECK DURING THE SUMMER OF THIS YEAR. I CONTACTED THEM AND THEY PUT ME IN TOUCH WITH [XXX] ([XXX]) WHO IS THE COORDINATOR OF THE CHILD SAFETY SEAT COALITION. SHE NOW HAS THIS CARSEAT IN HER POSSESSION. SHE EXAMINED THE METAL CLIP AND STATED SHE FELT THE "GAP" THAT THE STRAP HOOKS INTO WAS LARGER THAN ANY OTHER SHE HAS SEEN. SHE HAS BEEN IN TOUCH WITH YOU AND GAVE ME YOUR WEBSITE AND TOLD ME TO CONTACT YOU ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I AM RELIEVED THAT THE STRAPS RELEASED FROM THE METAL CLIP WHEN I WAS PARKED AND NOT WHEN I WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION. MY HUSBAND AND I ARE VERY UPSET THAT THIS OCCURRED AT ALL AND WONDER IF IT WAS THIS EASY FOR THE STRAP TO COME OFF - THEN WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IN AN ACCIDENT. WE CONTACTED WENDY SCHINDLER AND NOW YOUR ORGANIZATION TO PREVENT A CHILD FROM BEING INJURED IN AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE CONTACT ME W/ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. *AK PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
