CarComplaints.com Notes: Beware of the NHTSA complaint data for the 2007 Corolla. It is almost certainly misleading.

The problem with NHTSA data for the 2007 Corolla is that for months on end, the news media repeatedly told the public that several Toyota models have an unintended acceleration defect, & to go to safercar.gov (the NHTSA's website) to file a complaint.

So, the NHTSA received a disproportionate number of complaints about Toyota unintended acceleration issues because of the national news media attention, to the point where now the NHTSA data is unreliable taken in context with any other vehicle that did not receive national news attention.

CarComplaints.com typically receives more complaints per day about vehicles than the NHTSA does, but the news media did not repeatedly say "go to CarComplaints.com to report your Toyota acceleration problems" like they did about the NHTSA -- so although we have less complaint data than the NHTSA for the 2007 Corolla, our data for the Corolla is a far more statistically accurate representation of the Corolla's reliability than what the NHTSA data shows.

Takata recall I received a recall notice and immediately brought my vehicle to the Toyota dealer on 3/29. They said they would call when they receive the parts. It is now 5/10 and I called because I hadn't heard from them. When I called they said the parts have been back ordered and they have no idea when they will come in. In the meantime, they remind me not to use my passenger seat. I feel frustrated that this problem will persist for an undisclosed amount of time.

I have have a letter directly from Toyota telling me about my airbag recall for my 2007 Toyota Corolla and how it should be replaced for free in a timely matter. I have been contacting the Toyota dealership multiple times to replace the recalled airbag for my car. I also went directly to the Toyota dealership and when I spoke to the managers, they spoke as if they did not know what I was talking about. For more than a year, I have gotten no response back from Toyota or the dealership on how to get my car fixed.
