Speed Control Springs Problems of Toyota Corolla

Inspection by auto repair facility (brookhaven automotive, norman oklahoma) revealed driver and passenger air bags were not working, along with horn and speed control unit. Clock spring and spiral cable kit found inoperative and replaced by facility at cost of $339 (parts & labor) to consumer. The spiral cable unit was subject previously to recall and was so replaced at no charge by fowler Toyota, norman oklahoma, on 12/02/14. Shouldn't these safety defects be covered by the manufacturer? especially the spiral cable unit that was just replaced under recall on 12/02/14? thank you - rick leflore.

I had a previous incident in July, 2010 when the gas pedal felt like it stuck and the car suddenly accelerated. I took the car in to sandy springs Toyota at that time and made a complaint. On January 12, 2013, as I was pulling into my driveway, the same thing happened again and the gas pedal felt like it stuck and the car suddenly accelerated, crashing into my garage and house. The crash caused extensive damage to both the car and the house.

In August 2009 the computer was replaced on my 2007 Toyota Corolla because it died in the middle of the intersection. Since that time, my car will suddenly rev up and accelerate on its own. I took it to the dealer service center a few weeks ago and after having it for a week, returned it to me and stated nothing was wrong. On November 2nd, my car suddenly accelerated pulling into my driveway and I had to knock it out of gear and stand up on the brake to get it to stop. I called the dealer and he said to call Toyota that he would not do anything with the car. I have a car in my garage that I cannot drive for safety reasons, no help from Toyota, and I will never drive it again as I have had re-occurring nightmares because of this incident as my twins were playing in the driveway and I had just passed my son on his tricycle and stopped and put my daughter on my lap to pull into the garage when this happened. I have asked for a full refund on the car and tony stubblefield with reliable Toyota in springfield mo said that the best he could do was allow me to trade it in there. This did happen to me, I have never in my life filed a law suit, and I would like this car taken away and the situation rectified or I will be left with no other alternative but to seek the services of an attorney. This stress is causing me health issues.

My daughter had a head-on collision with a motorcycle, while driving her 2004 Toyota Corolla. The motorcycle rider was killed. The airbag in the Corolla deployed and saved my daughter's life. Unfortunately, she still has little, or no memory of the accident. We don't know what happened, or why? the police believe she lost control of her vehicle, crossed the lane into oncoming traffic and struck the motorcycle. A witness stated her car was going fairly fast. Why was it going so fast in a residential area? a traffic light was right in front her (about 100 feet ahead). At that light, she would have taken a square right hand turn, enroute to her home. I don't understand why she was going so fast. And I don't understand why she lost control of her car. She was 90% of the way home. It was about 6:15 in the afternoon in the middle of summer. A sunny day, no clouds or precip. The car is being held by the west springfield, MA police department. Can you inspect the vehicle? she had complained to me about the vehicle previous to this. She once asked me add power steering fluid. When I checked, the reservoir was already up to the full mark. Being a dad, my only job was to maintain the car (change oil, etc). I very, very rarely drove the car. And when I did drive, it was fine. This Corolla was registered in my name. I bought it in 2007 for my daughter (her first car). I bought Corolla's for both of my children. I gave my son a 2001 Corolla years ago. I'm a big believer in Toyota quality. I own a tacoma myself. But, something isn't right about this accident. I think the steering and acceleration should be checked, as a minimum. Updated 05/19/10 updated 10/04/10.

We have a 2009 Corolla. The vehicle has been jumping right from the time of purchase when we mention to dealership they have told us there is nothing wrong with the vehicle several times. They don't even document it unless we are demanding it. We have not had an accident as of yet but the spring has been put under the pedal and it still wants to take off at times. It is not consistent but frequent enough to be concerned. Towne Toyota refuses to own up to this problem, the date is the first date we experienced it.

2002 Toyota Corolla le acceleration pedal: --occasionally, but rarely, appears to stick momentarily (a sensation like a spring that has temporarily stuck and then sprung loose). I took it into my Toyota dealer but they said there was nothing wrong that they could detect. Therefore nothing has been done to correct the mystery. The sticking/springing sensation still occasionally occurs but it is very hard to predict when it will. --it seems to happen shortly after starting up. I am concerned because I do not want the acceleration problems that have occurred with other Toyotas. The date of the first incident, listed below (Mar 5, 2002), is approximate. The vehicle was purchased oct. 2001.
