| 2006 | AIR BAGS | LAST YEAR WE PURCHASED A 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA. WE ADDED SIDE AIR BAGS. WE WANTED A SAFE VEHICLE FOR OUR DAUGHTER TO DRIVE. TWO DAYS AGO SHE WAS DRIVING A FRIEND TO WORK. A CAR WAS PARKED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT PULLED OUT TO A MAKE A U-TURN RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER. SHE AVOIDED A STRAIGHT ON T-BONE OF THE CAR BY BRAKING AND SWERVING TO THE RIGHT. THE LEFT FRONT OF HER CAR HIT THE DRIVERS DOOR AND SIDE OF THE OTHER CAR. SHE WAS TRAVELING AT 50 MPH. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE PASSENGER IN HER CAR HIT HIS HEAD ON THE DASHBOARD- HIS SEATBELT DID NOT TIGHTEN AND LOCK IN. HE SUFFERED A CONCUSSION. BOTH MY DAUGHTER AND PASSENGER SUFFERED BODY ACHES AND BRUISING FROM THE COLLISION. AT THIS TIME THE CAR IS AT A BODY SHOP FOR ESTIMATES ON THE DAMAGE. WE WILL HAVE IT ALSO GO TO THE TOYOTA DEALER TO DETERMINE WHY THE AIRBAGS AND SEATBELT FAILED TO WORK. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE SPECIFICALLY FOR ITS SAFETY FEATURES AND ARE QUITE DISMAYED THAT THEY FAILED. WE HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THIS VEHICLE NOW. *TR |
| 1987 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | I AM NOT LOOKING FOR DAMAGES AND HAD NEVER OFFICIALLY REPORTED THIS, BUT ABOUT 23 YEARS AGO I BOUGHT A NEW TOYOTA COROLLA THAT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED UP TO 90-100 MPH LIKE RESENT COMPLAINTS ABOUT TOYOTA VEHICLES ARE DOING. IN SPITE OF STANDING ON THE BRAKE, TRYING TO GET THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND PUTTING MY TOE UNDERNEATH THE GAS PEDAL TO SEE IF IT WAS STUCK I WAS IN DANGER OF RUNNING UNDER THE REAR OF A SEMI. MY 15 YEAR OLD SON REACHED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. I HAD ENOUGH MOMENTUM GOING TO GET OFF THE ROAD. RECENTLY DIVORCED, I WAS SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR AGAIN AND RETURNED IT TO THE DEALER WHO INSISTED NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR! I TRADED IT IN AND TOOK A BIG MONETARY LOSS BECAUSE THE CAR WAS NEW. I WAS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED AT THE TIME. NOW I AM WONDERING IF TOYOTA HAS BEEN COVERING UP THESE INCIDENTS A VERY LONG TIME AND IF ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM AS LONG AGO AS I DID AND WHETHER OR NOT THE INCIDENTS WERE REPORTED. I DO NOT BELIEVE TOYOTA INCIDENTS ARE NEW, NOR DO I BELIEVE IT IS A GAS PEDAL PROBLEM. IT HAS TO BE A COMPUTER ELECTRICAL THING. AFTER OVER 20 YEARS OF NOT BUYING TOYOTA, JUST THIS THANKSGIVING BOUGHT A NEW TOYOTA HIGHLANDER AND NOW ALL THIS!!!! GOT THAT ONE FIXED YESTERDAY, HOPEFULLY, BUT I STILL FEAR AN ELECTRICAL/COMPUTER PROBLEM. *TR |
