The vsc light is flashing, the traction control warning light is on as well as the check engine light. The traction control button does not work either now. I plugged in an obd scanner and got a c1201 error code which we were not able to clear. I don't recall if we were moving, parked out just turned the car on when the lights started but they will not shut off when the car is running.

The vsc, traction control warning light on the dash will not go off. It continuously flashes and the check engine light starts on as well. I've done everything possible to get it to go off, including having a certified mechanic check it, to no avail. Therefore, I'm assuming I have no reaction control whatsoever as it keeps flashing "traction control off".

Braking sensor/skid light comes on at random, then occasionally the engine starts braking in traffic, and sometimes threatens to quit, needing to pull off of highway and keep restarting car until I get a smooth sound. (1st time light came on, I skidded on a small patch of ice, the alarm went off, the light came on, and I couldn't figure out what was going on, sure didn't need to warn me I went for a skid, already knew that, didn't like being scared to death by the noise)

When the vehicle is sitting stationary and turned off for any given length of time in weather that is below freezing and then the ignition switch is then turned on, ABS, vsc, and traction control lights come on and none of their corresponding functions are operable. Tires go into full lock up skid without ABS and there is no vsc or traction control. The problem will not cease until the part causing the problem has reached a temperature of above approximately 32 degrees fahrenheit. The problem may cease while driving or when stationary, but the consistent point at which it is remedied is when the outside temperature is above 32 degrees fahrenheit.

"takata recall" I was in an accident in my 2010 toyota corolla exiting a major interstate on 07/07/2017. The off ramp had a very sharp curve where I lost control (possibly a failure in the stability control system?) and was traveling at around 45mph. I went into a spin and the left rear of my car hit the guardrail, spinning out still my car then hit the guardrail head-on causing the front end to collapse into the motor cavity. The airbags did not deploy causing bruising to my shoulder and abdomen areas. My neck and back were injured causing me to be immobile for a couple of weeks. I have had cat-scans and mri's trying to find out what my injuries are. I have to go to pain management to deal with the everyday pain and my life has been affected greatly. I informed toyota about the airbags and they seemed very concerned. The are investigating the issue and sent out a company called bosch to download information from the cdr box. I am still waiting on toyota's answer to this problem. I was never aware of this recall as I had purchased the car pre-owned from a toyota dealership october of 2015. I also reported the airbag lights going off and on along with other electrical problems to two different toyota dealerships along with allstate insurance company, my provider.

Re: 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.

I am the owner of a 2010 toyota corolla, whose VIN number is: [xxx]. 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 cost 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! Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
