I deliver for doordash and I was making my third delivery of the morning. As I pulled into a parking lot to park my car I tried to out my car into park like I had been all morning except this time I couldn't put my car into park. After I finished the delivery I went back out to my car to get back on the road and I couldn't take my car out of park. It felt like something was jammed and the gear stuck would barely budge. My first instinct was to look online to see if this has happened to other cars like mine and many articles popped up of people experiencing the same thing happening to their car. My car has zero problem with the transmission, gear box or anything in the past and it's never made any odd noises either. I believe that this was a problem with the car and not something that I caused.
Takata recall- the airbag sensor light recently came on in my car and I am being told there is an issue with the airbag inflator and/or sensor causing the light to stay on. Also this is the second time in a year that my horn has gone out.
Driver side window switch is not working good. When using it to pull down driver side window is being scratched up due to I think lack of lubricant. Window switch works but is making marks on my windo and I am scared it will eventually break it.
The car was driven on a highway for a 40 minute trip and when we got home the dash had started to melt and burn. It starts on the center console near the air bag sign and continues towards the passenger side door across the lower glove compartment.
As I was driving down a slight decline driveway my car suddenly accelerated to around 20 or more miles. The only way I was able to stop is by driving it on the curb and onto the sidewalk.
Second time I have experienced a surge. On slowing to make a right turn my car surged forward instead of turning. Had to almost stand on brake to slow the car. Third surge was when right turn into driveway and stopped to allow passenger to get out car surged forward and hit garage door before I could stop it.
"takata recall" I was in an accident in my 2010 Toyota Corolla exiting a major interstate on 07/07/2017. The off ramp had a very sharp curve where I lost control (possibly a failure in the stability control system?) and was traveling at around 45mph. I went into a spin and the left rear of my car hit the guardrail, spinning out still my car then hit the guardrail head-on causing the front end to collapse into the motor cavity. The airbags did not deploy causing bruising to my shoulder and abdomen areas. My neck and back were injured causing me to be immobile for a couple of weeks. I have had cat-scans and mri's trying to find out what my injuries are. I have to go to pain management to deal with the everyday pain and my life has been affected greatly. I informed Toyota about the airbags and they seemed very concerned. The are investigating the issue and sent out a company called Bosch to download information from the cdr box. I am still waiting on Toyota's answer to this problem. I was never aware of this recall as I had purchased the car pre-owned from a Toyota dealership October of 2015. I also reported the airbag lights going off and on along with other electrical problems to two different Toyota dealerships along with allstate insurance company, my provider.
Car would start then driving at 10mph the car stalls and the dash lights illuminate the dashboard. Put the car in park and restart with no problem but if somebody was behind me it would've caused an accident. Last week car did the same thing except I the car was in motion towards an intersection from idle and had to quickly put it in park and restart it and move it before I would've been involved in a deadly accident.
Takata recall. Gas pedal becomes stuck with floor mat when car is in motion. We have had to remove floor mat for safety. Removal of floor mat has caused wear and tear on floor board covering.
I will start by saying that I have a Toyota Corolla 2010. On Friday September 13,2016 while I was driving in a street about 20/30 mph my car started accelerating by itself, I tried to stop by pressing the brake, but the car kept going, then I moved the handle on parking, the car wouldn't respond until I pull the hand brake. I immediately called Toyota and explained to them what happen. Quickly they sent a tow truck to pick up my car to see what was wrong. They gave me a loaner for the day. The person at the dealer told me they will contact me the next day and we could take it from there. Nobody called so around 3pm I called asking they said they haven't hear from corporation and they didn't know. I ask about the loaner car. They said not to worry about it. The same thing happens the next day. I called they say not to worry about the car and that they will call me if they have any news on my car. On Friday around 4:50 the service manager called me and said that Toyota corporation had concluded that there is nothing wrong with the car. They said I could pick up my car and pay for the rental car and the inspection of the car. I would like to know if any of you or know someone who had something similar happened. I am terrified to drive the car and so frustrated the Toyota had decided that there's nothing wrong with the car. I don't know what to do about it. I have grandkids who gets in the car also my job requires me to drive patients in my car.
To Toyota : sending out an interim recall notice #16V-340 saying you are preparing a remedy is not satisfactory this recall has been ongoing for months and a remedy should have already been completed. Toyota had plenty of time to prepare this remedy. Advising owners not to drive vehicle with passengers in front is certainly not conducive when you only have one vehicle to use. You should provide another vehicle in the meantime.
While driving on route 30 East in pa, I experienced a scenario where I was on cruise control and pressed the brake. The car continued to accelerate at its speed and subsequent pressings of the brakes did not slow the car. I shifted the car into neutral and the brakes still were not slowing the car enough. I had to drive into the left shoulder and grass beyond that in order to slow the car down enough to let other cars pass so I could go into the right lane. The next business I took my car to the dealer and after driving 7 miles and looking for error codes, reported that they "could not reproduce the issue". my car already had all the fixes for the unintended acceleration issue that Toyota had a number of recalls for done in December 2013. This issue needs to be further investigated by Toyota because if the reported fixes do not work, then there could be a significant number of accidents/fatalities yet to come. I never had experienced this issue before.
I was parking my car Wednesday evening. As I was about to finish parking my car, the engine out of nowhere made a loud vroom and accelerated on it's own as I was pressing the brake. The car hit a snow bank which stopped the car. Fortunately no one was injured.
