"takata recall" on 7/3/13, left work at 2:30 from fm1960 and aldine westfield. Took the on ramp of west loutetta to get off of ramp. I inched up to the intersection and the at&trepairman thought I was going, so, he gunned it. Needdlesstosay, I recieved spinal injuries, and the airbag never popped out. Years later, it is still indicating as implemented to no avail. I was told that the repairing of this problem is a massive undertaking. Of which I thought was going to be taken care of when the car was being repaired.

I've had everything fixed on my 2009 corolla regarding the steering, thinkin it was the alignment ,tires,balancing,brakes ,spent alotta money at my mechanic.. Turns out its the steering control unit. At highway speeds my car wanders very bad and I'm afraid ill hit another car.even changing lanes my car trouble sometimes and it is a safety issue. My mechanic and tire guys said this is not safe to drive.. I will be writing toyota and takin my car in to see if the cost my car is covered or not. Toyota was investigaged but noting and were later sured over this issue. Toyota shoud be ashamed for knowing about this issue and refuseing to cover the costs.

My 2009 corolla experienced issues identical to a prior recall circa 2010 for '05-'08 corolla & matrix models regarding engine control modules (ECM) that may have been improperly manufactured. On 3/30/16, the check engine light turned on and my vehicle experienced harsh shifting and struggled for gas. Vehicle was in motion with over a 1/4 tank of gas on a residential street at the time. On 3/31/16, I had the vehicle towed to my local toyota dealership. Diagnostics were run and ECM fault codes were identified. Service associates working on my corolla addressed their concerns and were repeatedly denied requests for a replacement ECM. At one point, I was advised by toyota dealership staff to personally order an ECM unit through the parts dept., insisting that the request coming directly from a customer would not be denied. I attempted to place an order with parts, and that request later was denied. After several re-tests and denied requests for a replacement ECM, my vehicle received a replacement tail light bulb (what I refer to as a "band-aid" fix) and was released back to me on 4/5/16. The very next morning (4/6/16), check engine light came back on and vehicle was brought in. Once again, codes tied to the ECM were identified. After another week of tests, denied ECM fix requests, and another band-aid repair, the vehicle was released back to me on 4/14/16. During this two-week ordeal, I incurred over $540 in rental car expenses and $186 in "band-aid" repairs, despite the fact that ECM issues were identified from the beginning. I have opened 2 cases with toyota customer experience center to address this ECM issue with my 2009 corolla, the prior 2010 recall, and have requested that my VIN be incorporated into the recall. So far, toyota has denied any responsibility, insisting that their ecms don't fail, offering no assistance for issues they deem off-warranty/off-recall.

I had spoken to mike from carson toyota regarding this recall more than 6 months ago. I found out about this recall from my coworker who has the same model and year car as mine. Mike had told me that only a few toyotas were on recall and the last time I had gotten my oil changed there, he told me that my model was not in that recall.. But I did get a letter in the mail. I told him that my coworker told me about the electrical window on the right side. Mike had told me that it wouldn't be covered. I would have to pay about $400 plus for that window that got stuck. Mike did tell me that my VIN model was not counted for. I am real upset. This past december, I drove to san francisco when it is raining and windy, this is a real big hazard for a branch to have come inside my car without my daughter being able to close to the window and had poked her arm some how.

My ECM constantly have issues with stabilizing the vehicle on a daily occurrence. When it works as it should the car feels stable like it has added weight and the steering is responsive. The ECM in the late 2000s all have ECM problems which is a safety concern since braking, transmission and steering are all affected in some adverse way. The vehicle had a o2 sensor replaced and it still has the same issues, alternator also replaced. I believe toyota knew about this issue with its toyotas and decided not to issue a recall in order to save money. Ive been dealing with this issue since a month after I got my car 4 or 5 months after I got my car. The code p0607 along with the p0138 are constantly going off in my vehicle. Sometimes the p0138 will go away but the symptoms of a bad ECM still remain. The car shakes, doesn't stall yet, feels sluggish and hard to keep straight at almost any speed.

My 2009 toyota corolla is extremely hard to handle on the road ie, staying in my own lane, maintaining speed, when there is any type of crosswind or high wind.

While I was driving the car started stalling really bad and losing power, the engine light came up and I couldn't speed more than twenty five miles, because the car started trying to shut off on me in the middle of the street again. I took the car to get checked out and the troubleshooting codes came out as being the ignition coils due to the engine harness being bad, (difficult to believe I said ), cables don't go bad like that in florida.
