| 2009 | SEATS | TOYOTA COROLLA 2009. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR OVER ONE YEAR, AND I MUST SAY THAT THE DESIGN OF THE FRONT HEADRESTS IS FLAWED. VERY UNCOMFORTABLE AND NOT ERGONOMIC AT ALL. THE HEADRESTS ANGLE FORWARD (AND ARE NOT ADJUSTABLE), PUSHING THE DRIVER'S HEAD/NECK 45DEGREES FORWARD. THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS, AND IT GIVES ME NECK STRAIN, AND PUTS UPPER CHEST IN CLOSED POSITION, PROMOTING POOR POSTURE, BREATHING AND VIEW OF THE ROAD. THE 'ACTIVE RESTRAINT' FEATURE IS SUPPOSED TO PUSH THE HEADRESTS EVEN FURTHER FORWARD IN CASE OF A COLLISION..I SUSPECT A NECK INJURY WOULD OCCUR IN CASE OF COLLISION (HEAD SNAPPING FORWARD PAST 45DEGREES). *TR |
| 2003 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | WAS DRIVING 20MPH ON A SIDE STREET WITH MY TODDLER IN THE CAR WHEN I SMELT STRONG ELECTRICAL FIRE. WINDOW SWITCH GOT STUCK ON DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AND INSTEAD OF BLOWING FUSE MY DOOR CAUGHT ON FIRE. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ETC AND THEY WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED BECAUSE NO RECALL FOR MY YEAR. JUST RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER TODAY. TWO MONTHS AFTER! THIS IS MY SECOND RECALL ON THIS CAR AND I'M NOT SURE HOW MUCH LONGER I CAN HANDLE THIS. I WILL NEVER OWN A TOYOTA AGAIN. FYI THE FIRST RECALL WAS FOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS IN MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR SO THEY REPLACED THE ENTIRE DOOR PANEL PARTS ETC BUT OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR |
