My daughter was driving my car on the interstate the airbags deployed and hit her in the face, filled the car up with smoke, she couldn-??t see anything she hit the iron poles that are together by cables. My car is totaled. My back tire broke completely off of the car. These cars aren-??t built safe. I owned my car and now I-??m without a car. Has anyone else ever had this happen" Air bags deploying for no reason"
I was at a complete stop, when I was rear ended by a driver going approximately 40mph. The impact shoved me into the car in front of me as well. None of my airbags went off and the insurance adjusters believe the car is totaled. I had a previous accident where I was T-boned in drivers side and none of the airbags went off at that time either

Multiple issues with the dealership over a timeframe of a few years that continues to deteriorate. Most recently, lack of dealership notification of safety recall, dealership inability to respond to safety recall when notified from a 3rd party site, dealership vehicular inspection incomplete and/or indications of unresolved issues, violation of personal property but dealership emptying center console contents into passenger seat unnecessarily (no business reason to do so), inspection results of most recent visit entailed video inspection of rust accumulation near notated brake area with no direction or instruction - beyond the driver noticing a driving problem of vibration - to which the instruction was a dealership process of rust build up removal by a machine (no internal communication within dealership of issue, notification to driver or those serving the driver to share issue and recommendations, prompting was the result of driver requesting clarification at dealership). The safety recall for this vehicle came through carfax (not from the dealership or dealership means - but as a result of attempting to sell the vehicle). The safety recall involved an issue with the seat belt & air bag deployment, and when driver contacted local dealership months ago- dealership stated that there was no remedy, and was not notified when one became available. The most recent oil change visit "claims" to have addressed the problem, at the request of driver. This incident request is three-fold: (1) address safety recall communication and process with dealership; (2) address vehicular maintenance, oil change, service, and inspection process and interaction with drivers; and (3) recommend to me (the person completing this complaint) a specific motor vehicle location (including company name, management, and mechanic) where the vehicle can be adequately assessed for safe driving.
Car started having paint problems at 3 years old. Paint missing on certain protected areas of car, with primer only (trunk and hood area.) paint on drivers side door formed bubbles on the edge. Paint scratching easily on the hood of the car. First car I have owned that was having paint issues after only 3 years. Normal driving conditions no different than other cars I've owned. Always well maintained and regularly washed.

I want to report that I found a loose bolt poking out of the drain hole on the rear passenger door of our 2015 toytota Corolla. It was oriented in such a way that only the threaded end was poking out the hole and held inside the door by the bolt head. I took it to the dealer and as a courtesy they removed the door panel and determined it had come from one of the window parts (regulator or motor). They reinstalled and tightened the bolt. I read on the internet this was a serious problem with previous Toyota and created safety concerns. This may be a continued problem with Toyota. It was obviously a very small chance that the bolt actually landed in a fashion to partially stick out of the drain hole so I was able to spot this, so I can't help but wonder if other window bolts in the car have, or will, come loose and fall into the interior of the doors without detection. This may also be the case with many other Corollas sold. Bolts that become loose and fall off of window parts could lead to inadvertent and dangerous failure of windows on the road. I suggest you investigate this potential safety issue.
This car was rear ended 17 months ago and none of the 8 airbags deployed. I got a herniated disc and a broken rib. The other driver insurance paid for the $12,000 repairs on my car and some of my medical expenses but now here I am with an injury for the rest of my life. This car should be included in the airbag lawsuit and I should be compensated for my injuries.
My daughter was on a 2 lane stretch of I-15 highway southbound, approx 7 miles North of lasvegas nv. She was in the left lane slowly creeping by a 18 wheel rig w/trailer. She was doing 74 with cruise control and witnesses say the rig must have been doing 73mph. He violently turned into her lane causing her to do evasive maneuver left and brake hard skidding into the soft shoulder then spinning clockwise crossing to the right side hitting a small shoulder elevation change with both drivers side wheels, causing a double roll over and a cartwheel landing on the trunk, then coming to a rest on the roof. Not a single air bag deployed! she suffered multiple blunt hits to the head from hitting against the door, she has a concussion with sprained shoulder and ankles. Granted she should be in much worse condition but we are grateful she had her blankets and her dogs beds that flew from the back seat to the front helping to keep her padded from even more trauma. I feel that a side curtain and steering bag should have deployed. Is this a fluke that Toyota engineers missed" because no particular corner was impacted" the rollover impacts were at the wheels, just above both bumpers and the entire roof area.
Jerking front prior perhaps twice on the day in question I reversed to go in a friend house and the car went a full half circle and end in the neighbor hose next door. My car ended in to her fence where a swing was there. Due the defective her property needs to be fix as soon as possible had the car towed to dick dyer killian road today. I have witnesses to verify how the car did a half moon.
On the freeway driving and eighteen wheeler came over on my car and hit and dragged my until my detached from the truck spin around and the back of my car slammed into the median wall. The air bags did not deploy....updated 10/29/15
I rented this car (Toyota Corolla 2015) and was unfamiliar with all the details. My previous experience with many cars over the years never brought me an awareness that the trunk lid could potentially damage my head, neck, or back in a severe and possibly long lasting way. I naturally opened the trunk lid, bent in to pull out my bag, and wham! the lid slams down on me.one of the most damaging parts is the latch which protrudes past the trunk's edge and forms a triangle shape. This is what concentrated the blow directly into my spine. I have seen complaints of this same problem, "trunk lid wont stay in upright position" dating back to 2009. Why has this not been fixed years ago before it was able to injure me" and how many unsuspecting people will continue to be injured in the future" this is why I am taking the time to express my anger, frustration, and disgust. Please I am calling this out, do something! Toyota deserves a class action lawsuit!

The low-beam light design on the lens cover cuts off the top view of light at night time. You see light from the ground up but only halfway up. From there you only see darkness. It looks like a half-lit moon beam from the ground up. You only see the bottom half of the trees it is like a straight line drawn between the middle of your view in front of the car. White on the bottom half and black on the top half. I am scared to death to drive my car around curves and lulls in the roads. Your night vision is extremely limited. It is very straining to have to look ahead and at the same time you have to keep two different colors separated.
