general problems of the 2013 Toyota Corolla

On Monday, [xxx], I was at the cvs pharmacy drive through when the failure occurred. There was no accident and otherwise no warning before it happened. I attempted to pull out when I noticed the car was drifting and the steering was extremely stiff. I looked down to see that the airbag light and brake light were both on. I coasted into a spot I happened to be aligned with. As I did, I felt the brakes and steering stiffen even more until they were almost 100% seized. (kind of felt like I was fighting hydraulic fluid. ) you guys are welcome to request to inspect the vehicle. I haven't been able to get it inspected, because the Toyota dealership wants me to pay a diagnostic fee to prove the airbag light came on due to the airbag assembly for them to be able to cover the work under the extended warranty for the airbag system. There was no accident. I thankfully didn't have any speed behind me. So, I just barely had enough brakes to stop. This also means that I didn't make an insurance claim or call the police. I did get a tow truck to come out with state farm roadside assistance, though. The vehicle is at my father's house. We far as how this has affected us, I'm never buying a vehicle with electric steering again. At least with traditional power steering, if there's a failure, you can still steer the vehicle, even if it is difficult. If I had been coming down the winding, 6% grade from lake tahoe to carson when it occurred a few nights ago, I wouldn't have been able to stop or steer; I probably would have went into the ravine. Had we been on the highway or even coming down the hill in carson from[xxx] when I lost controls, we could both be dead right now. What's worse is I saw a forum where a bunch of people were talking about this happening to them: losing brakes and steering randomly, while actively driving. A few of them were only at 40k miles. In each case, airbags did not deploy. I think the sensor is causing the crashes sporadically. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5.

On 11/19/20 the car accelerated and brakes stuck when turning right at about 5-10 miles to the parking space at jalapenos restaurant, 450 e 1st st tustin CA 92780. Car stopped because the bar on the ground prevented the car from moving forward! it scared the hell out of me, it left me shacking!.

Hi sir I have problems in adjust the angles that affect to my staring and speed the mechanical said I have to replace the rear sup frame that will cost about 900$.

Abs and traction control not functioning. Indicator light on. Air bag recall due to metal possibly killing driver or passenger is more likely to happen because the abs and traction control not working.

"takata recall" abs does not work and was diagnosed by Toyota. Toyota wants $4500. 00 to fix it. Car has 53,000 miles on it.

Takata recall I got a car from Toyota expressway in boston massachusetts ever since I got the car from them remind you that to use the car I've been having problems I mean bringing the car back the same problems over and over which is the brakes the steering wheel it feels like it needs an alignment when I drive it feels like the car sliding from left to right and then not doing nothing about the situation and I'm getting fed up because I have a daughter and this is very dangerous so I would like something to be done about this thank you also I was in a car accident and before they even fix the vehicle they said there was a default there was a lot of problems going on with the car which I've been trying to tell the car dealership Toyota but they are not doing nothing about it.

Preowned 2013 Toyota Corolla in this car have a carfax report that says in 2 previous accidents the air bags never deployded. As its 3rd owner purchased with 46958miles I have noticed that I the vehicle brakes to hard. And when I step lightly on the brake it continues to drive till I step harter on the brake. Its hardly noticeable and to catch. 3rd ishu is that when I us the ac it uses too much fule. Also with the ac turned off it is still blowing out cool air at a low level that could be sensed by placing your hands by the air vents.

I had a wreck and I ran into another car going about 25 mph and my air bag did not deploy. I hit someone from behind, I thought I hit the brake but it did not stop and acted like I had the accelerator on. So I am asking about air bag & brake problems.

The brake pedal is positioned so that it can catch the side or sole of the driver's shoe so that the brakes cannot be activated. It can capture the shoe under the brake pedal, making it impossible to activate the brakes. When needing brakes under an emergency situation, the shoe can be trapped, and can involved in a collision. This happens at least once every time I drive the car, and caused my mother to have an accident, because she could not get her foot on the brake pedal. Fortunately no one was injured, and only 3 cars were damaged.

I leased my car in June 2013 and about a year and half later the mechanic told me that my brakes are getting low. I was confused I thought brakes lasted a least three years brand new out the dealership. He said no it depends how I drive and how many times I stop. So I said really you have cars coming in a year and half later that have low brakes already it sounds like you guys put in cheap brakes. He said no that their brakes are top quality brakes. So I said ok but I will wait six months. So here we are now 2 years into my lease and about 19500 miles into my car they said I needed brakes. I called pep boys, midas, and other shops they said my brakes shouldn't die that fast. I said I thought so too but the Toyota insist that their brakes are excellent and that it is normal for brakes to die at about 2 years in.

On July 3, 2015 when at first my car wouldn't start, I asked someone to look at my car and it was noticed that my brake fluid level was very low just to the point of empty. I was very concern because at no point prior to this discovery, the "brake" warning light did not flash or appear on to inform me to this issue! I called auto dealer and made an appointment for routine oil/maintenance service and requested that this matter be researched as to why no "brake" warning light worked; to also flush the brake system to check for air in the hose etc. . . ; however very disappointment with auto service reply: I was basically told that the brake fluid level was not low enough for the "brake" warning light to activated; however when the car eventually started; the brake pedal was very noisy and once brake fluid level filled, the noise stopped. I believe that due to the "brake" warning light not being activated was a great safety risk to myself as well as others.

The contact owns a 2013 Toyota Corolla. While driving 5 mph, the vehicle failed to stop when the brake pedal was depressed. As a result, the contact's vehicle crashed into another vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. A police report was not filed and no injuries were reported. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the issue. The failure mileage was unknown.

The contact owns a 2013 Toyota Corolla. While driving 65 mph, the steering wheel became difficult to turn and the vehicle would veer left and right. The vehicle also had delayed acceleration and the vechicle abnormally vibrated. The dealer stated that the brakes needed to be replaced and the rotors needed to be surfaced. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 16,000.

I bought my vehicle under warranty at around 7000 miles. Before 36000 miles I had taken it to the dealer 3 times with complaints of bad front wheel bearing. They gave me the run and around and I ended up replacing the defective bearing now 3 times. Now I again have to replace the bearing on the back which comes now complete without having to be pressed in. I have heard from others that this car is anonymous for this part being defective which I think it's unfair for the consumer. This part is close to over 200$. I was also told by the dealer on first occurrence that it was my tires cause the vehicle wore them unevenly. The consumer is not being informed, protected and sold bad quality parts on vehicles and the producer is not being held responsible.

Driving slowly in traffic, car in front stopped. I went to stop and pumped brake pedal several times but car would not stop. Rear ended car in front, steering wheel airbag deployed and engine stopped. Went to move car out of traffic lane and again when I went to stop, now going only 3-5 mph, pumped brakes again several times and car would not stop. Same thing happened one more time. Then drove car to rental agency using hand/emergency brake only, and traded in damaged car for different one. Do not know anything more about what might have been found wrong with vehicle.
