general problems of the 2010 Toyota Corolla - part 1

Was drive west down gooding Ave in bristol,r. I 02809 when my vehicle idle surged and car was going over 50mph with out my foot on the accelerator. . When trying to control the vehicle I couldn't even use the brakes stepping on the brake would not slow down the vehicle I ended up side swiping a vehicle at a traffic light and proceeded through the intersection through a fence onto a person's lawn clearly this was a unintended acceleration issue.

There have been multiple times where the car accelerates on it's own, suddenly. The latest was last evening. It usually happens when I'm just going to accelerate slighting (at a stop sign, or end of the driveway) where I give it just a little gas, and the car accelerates much more quickly than intended. I've looked for a recall, but cannot find one for this. Please advise.

Car suddenly all the dashboard lights came on at once brake lights,abs lights,power steering lights,and speedometer. I've been to the dealership they ripped me off said they had no clue what was wrong.

Tl the contact owned a 2010 Toyota Corolla. While driving approximately 40 mph, the vehicle accelerated without warning. While depressing the brake pedal to stop the vehicle, it failed to stop. As a result, the contact crashed into an electrical pole. The contact sustained chest and arm injuries that required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to the home of the contact's sister. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 73,000.

When needing to accelerate the car takes off like a jet rocket when the pedal is pressed. The car seems to be out of control and shaking violently. This happens usually on highway when going above 50. Feels very unsafe. This is a used car I bought. This happens on a regular basis.

While driving on a street named hamner this afternoon on a warm day in the city of norco with clear skies traveling approximately 15 mph my 2010 Corolla did not stop at a distance of about 15 feet when I applied the brake pedal and that caused me to hit another vehicle. The brake system failure which felt like the anti-lock brake system where the brakes did not engage but rather made a pulsating movement against my rotors caused my vehicle to keep moving and inevitably I could not stop my vehicle. On several occasions I have brought this issue up to Toyota service departments at numerous dealers in the past years and I was given no solutions. The explanation after showing the technicians was that it was normal and should not be a problem. This brake issue caused me to not have braking system power to safely come to a stop prior to the collision today. I believe that Toyota is liable for the failure in the brake system including but not limited to the damage created today to not only my vehicle but also to the vehicle to which this accident today involved including any known or unknown injuries incurred. Please let me know what I can do to resolve this matter as soon as possible.

I haven't followed up on rcmn-10v017-5275 as I hadn't noticed a problem living in an area with level streets. However, when trying to park or leave a parking space on an incline or decline it is a problem. When moving in or out of a parking, I noticed that my gas pedal is very sensitive. It lurches my car quickly forward. This is not about my parking technique. Someone else familiar with parking on these streets is concerned about the car's acceleration. Is this issue related to needing a remedy to the above recall notice. If yes, can I get this fixed for free even though my notice has expired? what do you suggest.

My car suddenly turn on most of the dash lights: brake,abs, power steering, and the speedometer , temperature gauge, revolution gauge and air conditioner stop working. The vehicle was stationary when all tis problems stated start to happen.

During the operation of the vehicle on a normal surface street during morning commute through city streets following traffic at speeds not exceeding 35 mph the vehicle seemed to have accelerated (sped up) during the application of the brake causing the vehicle to strike the vehicle in front of it. The damage to the vehicle struck was not visible due to the slow speed, but it did cause minor damage to the vehicle in question. During the event the driver perceived acceleration at the time of the application of the brakes and the sound associated with the anti-lock features being engaged. At the end of the incident the brake pedal was depressed all the way down to the floor. This is very concerning since the reaction of the vehicle was opposite of the driver command. The vehicle is part of the Toyota Smart stop company recall, but the software update was not done since it is considered optional for the owner to do. Based on the reasons for the recall it is concerning that the condition it is addressing may have occurred. Because this report is based on driver perception I only request that the Smart stop recall be addressed and possibly mandated to ensure that the issue is from the software that owners will take the time to have it accomplished.

At approx 11:30 pm on July 15th 2016, my fiancé, myself and 2 of our friends were heading home from downtown miami on I-95. It was raining extremely hard, so everyone was going well below the speed limit. I would approx we were going 35-40 mph. The car in front of us slammed on his breaks due to the rain coming down extremely hard, and I proceeded to do the same. However instead of my car breaking, it began accelerating 10-15mph. Luckily there were no cars to my right and I was able to veer out of the way of the car in front of us, or else we would of been in a horrible car accident and possibly dead. As expected, my fiancé is extremely shooken up by what happened. I know this is a known issue with the 2010 Corolla and I have taken my car in for all the recalls and inspections but obviously there is something still wrong with the 2010 Corollas because I almost died tonight die to unexpected acceleration.

I am the owner of a 2010 Toyota Corolla, whose VIN number 1nxbu4ee6az209127. That car had a low mileage when I brought to germain Toyota in naples, florida, to fix any problem at that time that had caused the ¿ engine light¿ to appear on the dash. I was told that the ¿gas cap¿ was the problem and that I needed to replace it; I followed their recommendation. But, one day after the same light appeared again. Disappear; therefore, I decided not to come back for that same thing. Recently, in several occasions the car suddenly stopped working while I was driving it both in local and highway 75 without any warning or sign that such thing was going to happen: ¿the gas pedal just goes to zero, that means the pressure went quickly and suddenly to no pressure, and three lights are shown on the dash. ¿ thank god, I am still alive! I took the car to germain Toyota, they had urged me to replace the ¿battery,¿ which I did. The problem resurfaced the day after. The second time, they asked me to replace the ¿ecu,¿ which I did. That costed me more than $800, close to $900. The three lights reappeared after two days. I came brought the car back to germain Toyota, they told me that it was another thing that caused the problem. Last week, the first week of December, I brought it back to them for the same lights, and they told me to replace again the ¿gas cap,¿ I paid another money, but the same problem continues to go on and on and persist every week. The dealer refuses to acknowledge and accept that it is a factory defect. Those things happened both in streets and highway I-75. I do not feel safe to continue to drive it anymore, and I do not want to sell it to place someone else¿s life in peril. Therefore, I ask your department for help. I cannot keep on spending almost every week for the same problem. I thank you in advance!.

The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 54,900.

I was driving 99 south in south sacramento last Aug 21 2015, at around 2 pm. My lt foot was on the brake as I stopped to glance at my blind spot on my rt side so I can take hwy 50 toward lake tahoe, when I turned my head to the front, I noticed my car was moving forward on it's own, so I pressed the brakes all the way down and I lost control of the car, I felt the brake stucked to the floor and the only reason the car stopped is because I was on bumper to bumper traffic and my car hit the car infront of me. My car had only had 47000 miles on it. 2 weeks prior to that I took my car to the dealer for oil change and he said I need new front brakes on the next oil change. As a result of the accident, my car is totalled. Fortunately no one was injured! the policeman took report. I called Toyota customer service in torrance and she suggested to inspect the " black box " or edr of the car then she asked me what I want from Toyota! after the accident, I found out that there were lots of recalls on Toyota matrix up to 2012 but I never received any notice from the mail nor the dealer fix the recall whenever I take my car for oil change!.

When applying the brakes, my car will rev up. Especially when I'm going down hill. Another concern is that my car will make a 2-3 second rattling noise upon starting up. It only makes this noise once in a while and it is coming from the engine. Another issue I'm having is the car's check engine light, track light and vsc off light coming on simultaneously on any rainy day and staying on for several days after it has stopped raining. I avoid driving at fast speeds when its rainy because obviously the car is very unstable. My driver side window wont open or close and very cold days and other days it makes a weird noise. I just bought this car used and it has about 79k miles on it.

Vehicle accelerated at a high speed and caused a crash to stop the vehicle into a brick wall. Notification of recall on the vehicle was never received.

The car was parked in the garage. It was running in park with the emergency brake on. My wife put her foot on the brake and released the emergency brake. At the same time she released the emergency brake the engine reeved up dramatically. The rpm's increased as if she had the accelerator pedal to the floor. It kept that up until she shut off the engine.

I was starting to back out of a diagonal parking space and suddenly the car rapidly accelerated and backed across two lanes of downtown business traffic colliding with a vehicle parked diagonally across the street. When my vehicle started accelerating I stomped on my brake but the car did not stop until it hit the other vehicle. I believe this is an incident of "unintended low-speed surging" as reported on the internet and under NHTSA action number dp14003.

This is a petition for an investigation into low-speed surging in the 2006-2010 Toyota Corolla with etcs-I, in which the brakes fail to stop the vehicle in time to prevent a crash. This request is based on first-hand experience in which multiple low-speed surge events that occurred while driving our 2010 Corolla. The latest incident resulted in a crash on June 8, 2014. In addition to the evidence from our crash incident, we are providing evidence that many other Corolla owners are experiencing similarly unsafe scenarios that are leading to crashes. See document files for copy of full petition letter and supporting material.

I was driving my 2010 Toyota Corolla uphill and it felt as if I slid/slipped a little on the road, which was not slippery. The vsc off light and check engine light both started flashing on and off. . . And it seemed as if I lost power. Finally regained power to a normal speed but lights still flashing and power lost again. This happened for the first time on Sunday night. Then didnt occur again until Wednesday afternoon. Same thing driving along normally and it felt as if my vehicle was going to shutdown please help.

Car bolts when parking, taking off back or forward, from dead start or taking off from lights, stop signs etc. Has done this for yrs. Now. Son drove car and mentioned how awful that was and I never mentioned it to him. Friend did not believe me and tried it for one block. Said it was dangerous and horrible. I am sick of this happening and need to have it investigated. I am a very patient person but this is not good. Happens every time I drive it.

My Toyota Corolla 2010 car has manual transmission. When I drove at about 35mph on city street and hit brake pedal, engine suddenly roared to 8000rpm. I depressed the clutch fully, turned off engine, hit hard the brake pedal,turned left to median; the car hit hard the median curb and stopped partly in left lane. After several attempts on pedals and turned on engine, it still roared in the first several tries. The car eventually worked normally after 10 minutes and no injury happened. I never let the engine run over 5000rpm even when I tested the car and engine; my maximal running rpm is about 3000. This 8000rpm should not be from my operation. I was not convinced on 'stick pedal" or "floor mat" cause for this case. The sequence "turned off engine, braked" might be good to "braked to stop and turned off engine" because it is too hard to brake with engine off. But, when you hear the scary 8000rpm roaring engine, the first reaction is turn it off. I have scheduled an appointment with dealer.

On Monday July 29,2013 while I was set on 70mph cruise ,my Toyota Corolla suddenly surged forward. I have no idea how fast it made the car go,but I have never been in anything going that fast. I had to take the car into the grass median to avoid hitting another car when the brakes would not stop my car. We still flew down the grass median like a speed boat hitting waves,we were bouncing,the car was bouncing,I had severe cramps and stabbing across my lower kidney area when we finally came to a stop. I had to hold the brake pedal to the floor for what seemed like eternity. Before it finally stopped. I reported the incident in great detail to Toyota corporate and my case was #1307291802. (this case # is no longer valid) I was told at that time if I felt safe I could take it to my dealer in d. M. ,iowa where I leased the car in 2010,or if I felt unsafe,I could take it to adams Toyota in lee's summit,missouri. Then,my daughter-in=law called adams on my behalf and they gave her an entirely new case number because the first rep who took the report did not understand there was damage. My new case # is 1308011967. I felt I never want to be in that Corolla again,so I did take it to adams and they provided me with a scion rental to get back to home and work in iowa. Toyota has inspected the car and has up to 30 days to give me their report. I am to receive a copy of the data imaging extracted from the black box also.

Every time I accelerate forward or reverse, my car jumps quickly. Scarey and almost have hit things. I accelerate very cautiously every single time but not fun!!! waiting for the big hit!!!! not "if" but "when?" not my imagination. My grown son, hates to drive my car. He says the same thing. Happens anytime I accelerate from a stopped position. Stop signs, parking places, garage entering or leaving. Started about 2013 and continued since, every single time. Now 10/07/15.

The contact owns a 2010 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated that the brakes were applied as she approached a traffic stop. However, the vehicle accelerated independently with a substantial increase in engine rpms. The vehicle failed to decelerate and the contact crashed into another vehicle. The front passenger sustained minor injuries to the chest and the contact sustained a bruise to the left arm as the front air bag deployed. A police report was filed of the incident. The vehicle was towed to a collision center. The contact referenced NHTSA campaign id number: 10v023000 (vehicle speed control) however, the VIN was not included in the recall.

As a result, the contact crashed into a building and sustained injuries to the nose and right breast from the impact of the air bag and seat belt. The police were contacted and a report was filed. The vehicle was later towed to an independent mechanic, where it was pending an investigation. The manufacturer was contacted the contact was awaiting a response. The failure and current mileages were approximately 64,000. The VIN was unavailable.

First, the trunk stopped opening from the inside. Also, the vsc off light, check engine light, and traction light all came on at the same time while I was driving and I have no idea why. The gas cap was on tightly, the fuel levels were right, there was no need for an oil change, and the car is only 2 1/2 years old in which I did not do any wreckless driving.

This vehicle uses a drive by wire (dwb) accelerator. When you press on the gas the car lurches forward. This happened on a rental car in 2010 and still is a problem on the used Toyota I purchased. When I contacted Toyota they stated there was no recall information. They asked me to have the vehicle diagonized at my expense, which I refused to do. This is a problem and based on information on the net others are having the same problem. I have owned many cars and not one has had such a touchy pedal.

Vehicle stability control light flashing, engine light is on, vehicle is revving too fast, accelerator has no response. Toyota dealer informed me about the throttle is defected & they have no fix for it. They may have to contact Toyota corporate for fix. I have done previous recall on it also. I think the vehicle is defected "lemon". Toyota should replace the vehicle or reimburse me the whole amount.

The contact owns a 2010 Toyota Corolla. The contact was driving 60 mph when the vehicle begin to accelerate abnormally to 80 mph.
