After I turned around the corner of etna st /derby st. In berkeley, the steering suddenly malfunctioned and the car veered to the roadside and hit a parked car. I tried to brake immediately. The impact was slight, but my car could not be moved any more. I called the police and the roadside assistance of my insurance company. The person from the roadside assistance told me that the steering mechanism broke and the front axle fell out. On the day following the incident, I reported it to toyota cooperation and am currently waiting for their response.
2010 toyota corolla the transmission will surge when trying to pass on the highway. When driving and trying to pass another vehicle there is a minor delay when the transmission shifts causing a jolt and fast acceleration. Also at low speeds coming up to a light and then it turns green but not fully stopped maybe 15 miles an hour the transmission will also surge. This seems like an ongoing problem and toyota wants to do nothing about it this is ridiculous a car with 62,000 miles has this problem this needs to be recalled asap.
Check engine and vsc lights blinking. Hangs up in third gear. Had code pulled. Shift solenoid closed. This seems to be an ongoing problem with these cars. Dealerships just give you the runaround. Problem is caused by the failing ecu. This has been going on for years and no recall. This is not only a headache to drive but also unsafe.
There was no wreck, my horn does not work dash lights stay on lighter acts like there's a short and the electrical in console doesn't work.
Drove into a gas station to buy gas, put car in park, stepped out to pump case, noticed car moving, jump in to stop it, car accelerated and crashed into building, causing damage to both car and building.
I took my 2010 toyota corolla s in for service on 9/26/14 at victory toyota of canton, mi 48188 for a regular service. All service has been completed at victory toyota of canton, mi 48188 since I purchase the brand new vehicle from them. The service representative informed me that my car had a timing cover leak that was to cost me approximately $1,300.00 to fix and that if I continued to drive it the leak would get worse. I am out of my two year warranty time period. The service representative told me that my car was the 6th they'd seen in the last two weeks with the same issue and one of them was even as low as $18,000 miles. He stated that at some point there would probably be a recall. I called toyota headquarters and opened case number [xxx] and wait to hear what their solution is. I advised that anything less than full repair by toyota at no charge to me would be unacceptable. Such an issue should not potentially happen in a vehicle until 100,000 to 110, 000 miles. The fact that the service rep said that my car was the 6th they'd seen in the lat two weeks is a serious red flag. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I was driving my car down the highway going about 60mph and all of a sudden lost all engine power, with no warning, stutter, jolt or any sort of noise. I managed to coast to the shoulder but could not get my car to turn over and had to tow it away. Obd code reader would not connect with on board computer. When cranking the engine there was no spark to the coils.
Upon purchasing this car from carmax on 02/2012 there had been constant transmission issues that were not being resolved from the dealership. I had gone in and tried having my transmission looked at three times a the carmax dealership all of which told me that nothing was wrong with my car. On 07/26/2014 my 2010 toyota's transmission failed and now needs a new one. This out of pocket expense is ridiculous for a car that was built in 2010 and for myself owning it for two years. Both the toyota dealership and carmax dealership are not willing help assist the problem. I will never purchase a toyota car again. Updated 4/24/2015

As I was driving on hwy, I suddenly lost my power steering and I had power steering light, vsc and slippery car light cam on. From that point on I didn't have power steering, it was difficult to drive since it was hard to turn. Thank god that I didn't get involve in wreck. When I took it momentum toyota dealer in tulsa and explained what happened, service advisor said that since it has almost 45,000 it is not covered under warranty. When I called to toyota customer service and express my safety concern, they said if it is concern that I need to get it fixed and pay out of pocket since it has about 45000 miles on it. I also informed them that it is well know issue on and there are alot of people having issue with power steering, he said I am sorry you vehicle is out side the warranty and we will not cover it.

2010 toyota corolla. Consumer states several concerns regarding this vehicle *tgw the consumer stated at times when applying the brake lightly, they grab abruptly. At times, when accelerating from a stop, he had no control over the amount acceleration delivered to the vehicle. The speed would increase more than desired. At speeds above 35 MPH, when in overdrive, the engine speed would suddenly drop. The dealer confirmed the problem and toyota's response was the torque converter locked up and caused the engine speed to change and they recommended the consumer shift to third gear.

2010 toyota corolla, 4 months old under 5000 miles. The vehicle was brought to a car wash to evaluate a scratch found after going through the wash.

No one was in the car and this was witnessed by the owner and car wash manager.
Car: toyota corolla base 5 speed manual transmission 2010 I purchased the car new from a toyota dealership and it immediately had problems with shifting into reverse. From the 2nd day that I had the car, with 54 miles on the odometer, the whole car would shake and shudder as I put the gear into reverse. The gear would clunk into reverse, causing the transmission to shake and shudder and it is sometimes difficult to even get it to engage. The car was brought back to the dealership 3 times for the same reason with no improvement. A case was opened with a field branch and closed with the conclusion that the car was operating under normal conditions. The problem was reproducible by myself in front of the manager, the service writer and the technicians at the dealership all drove it and were able to reproduce the same issue. They say that all the corolla cars do that and that it is normal. The problem has progressed to the gear grinding when trying to engage now. The clutch is completely pressed down and the gear is moved into reverse and it grinds twice before finally engaging. No parts were replaced, no work was done to correct the problem. It is difficult to put the car into reverse which causes problems with everyday driving and makes it dangerous to not be able to reverse at a moment's notice if necessary.
Driving 2010 toyota corolla manual trans on interstate on 8/2/10 at 2:30 p.m. Had cruise control on going 70 MPH. Engaged clutch, shifted to neutral and braked in preparation to stop for traffic jam ahead. Brake did not engage and vehicle continued at 70 MPH without touching accelerator. Continued attempts to brake, downshift, turn off cruise control with no decrease in speed. Initially unable to downshift but then did get into lower gear but with no resulting decrease in speed, nor did the engine make any noise indicating that I had downshifted. I was able to get onto shoulder where I continued to go 70 MPH.I then got off at an exit that had an incline. Part way up the hill felt something disengage and the car slowed- not just due to the incline I think. I was then able to put on emergency brake and the car stopped. After several minutes I tried the brakes again and they worked. I did not reengage the cruise control after this. Please note that this occurred after I had taken the car in for both toyota recommended recalls regarding the floor mats and putting a modification in the gas pedal. When I went in for recalls I asked about placement of a computer brake override system and was first told that fix was not yet available, then told it was not relevant to my car, and, after the above event told again that toyota did not yet have the technology available to do this fix on corollas. The dealership have thus far been unpleasant and suggesting that I might not be telling the truth.
