I have a recalled 2010 toyota corolla that had the sudden acceleration problem. I had a minor accident on march 3rd 2010 that involved my other vehichle, as I was putting my corolla into reverse & it jumped hard backwards like it was propelled I had barely tapped the gas, the drivers side rear bumper hit my other car there was no damage to that one but my corolla substainted a minor but big enough dent to the lower back bumper, I called the police made a report and now I am waiting on someone from toyota to get back to my husband and I to get this corolla inspected, it can't be repaired in the back until that is done! My husband has on many occasions himself felt the car surge when stepping on the pedal its happened to him backing up, going forward and driving down main roads! My car is brand new the value of it and what we pay makes me sick to even know these things are happening! I love my toyota and had a brand new 2009 yaris for year before we traded it in on this! Anyhow my dealer 'fixed' the pedal but the problem has happened since the fix. I contacted the dealer and was told there was nothing more they can do. I have contacted toyota and they are sending someone to inspect the car. If you can send someone to inspect the car, [xxx] *cn information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
2010 Toyota Corolla transmission complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 49 of 49, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I bought a new 2010 corolla and was told all recalls where fixed. My gas pedal stuck coming home from work I called the dealer ship they checked there records and found that my car did not get fixed.
Car was parked and turned off. I started the car and put it on r (reverse) and started to pull out of the parking stall. Brake was really hard and wouldn't go all the way down. Car was still moving really slow. I change the transmission to d and the car was still going back. Brake was still hard, I pushed down effectively bringing the car to a stop now. I turned the transmission to p (parking) and then turned off the engine. The brake became loose and I could push it all the way down. I restarted the car and everything was fine afterward.
Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) this is additional information . I filed a prior incident report and had another occurrence on feb 28 2010. Again my vehicle had a sudden acceleration and leaped forward. Again I was able to place it in neutral . This is a dangerous problem. I have taken it back to my local dealership only to be told, it was the floor mat. When it happened again (after I took out the mat I was told it may have been I hit the cruise control(even though I explained I hit the brake and the vehicle maintained its acceleration.) this dealership even has told other customers that have called in they have not had one complaint about this problem( I was standing by the service desk when this took place).toyota will not admit there is a problem and in fact has spent more effort to make me feel its my fault or I am mistaken. What is the government going to do to address this problem ? It appears toyota is in denial because the fix will cost to much. How many more people will die or get injured? I am requesting and hope others are requesting that the highway safety administration take a stronger action . This has gone on to long without something being done. Please help. [xxx]
I have a 2010 toyota corolla that is part of the accelerator pedal reinforcement bar recall/installation. I have noticed another problem that appears to also involve the accelerator. This vehicle has a 5 speed manual transmission. The problem occurs in both 3rd and 4th gear. This problem is not consistent meaning it is not always noticed every time I drive, I would maintain that it occurs at least 50% of the time however. Problem: I attempt to maintain a constant speed for instance in 3rd gear at 30 MPH, the vehicle feels as if it wants to speed up, I then remove some pressure from the accelerator, the vehicle then slow by jerking, I then attempt to accelerate and the vehicle jerks again, bottom line is I can not maintain a constant speed. The road conditions do not matter, flat, hill, bumpy, smooth, wet dry, 30 MPH, 31 MPH, 32, MPH etc. I cannot maintain a constant speed in 3rd and 4th gear. I am not sure of an approximate date, it has happened numerous times since I purchased the vehicle in august of 2009. I will just enter a random date below.
2009 toyota corolla accelerates by itself.
1. Gave my 2010 toyota corolla for recall fix - a0a safety call 2. Drove the car home around 4:30 pm after the fix and parked in my home drive way 3. Around 4:31 pm reversing from my drive was and almost ran on the road, the car started reverse acceleration , took a turn and hit the small tree and stopped as the tree stem stuck under the car. 4. Reported the same incidence to toyota and the dealer and towed the vehic le to toyota service station where it was serviced. *tr ...updated 02/11/15 *bf updated 6/11/2015
For entire time owned - there is a gap of seconds between pressing gas pedal and actual acceleration. When I press gas pedal there is a hesitation leading me to press harder. Then of course the car has a sudden sprint in acceleration. This is not safe. I have had the car for 5.5 months so I am getting better at waiting instead of pressing harder. But I feel this is definitely a defect. I inquired over phone with service manager where I purchased - explanation: I am not use to a 4 cylinder, which I believed because I have never driven a 4 cylinder. But, I am beginning not to believe this excuse.
I bought a 2010 toyota corolla and had the pedal sticking twice in cold weather . When taken to the dealer ship I was advised that everything was fine and I ask if they had any problems . I was told no in fact they did not even bother taking down my complaint. I again returned to the toyota dealership after the story broke on the news. I am now being told that it only effects some camry and not the corolla. I feel that toyota has gone out of its way to hide this from the public. Further the last time the pedal stuck I was on the high way going 50 MPH. And had to put it in neutral and pump the pedal until it returned to normal. Again please not that this information was given to them before it was made public in the news.after I became aware of the news . I took it back to them and this time they have no way to fix the problem. I hope that the federal safety agency look into how many people brought this to toyota attention only to be told there was not a problem , how many people died or have been hurt because toyota tried to hide the problem. And what am I going to do or what they plan to do to make things right. I need to operate my vehicle , I hope I or any other person add to the accident count...
