I was parked in the underground parking at the north west corner of amherst ave and santa monica blvd in los angeles. I was exiting driving up the very narrow exit ramp. 1.the one way exit to the lot curves and is very narrow. As I navigated the narrow exit, I felt that I was almost touching the wall on the right side. 2.I applied the brakes and put the car in reverse in order to get away from the wall. However, the brakes did not respond and the car rolled backwards around the bend, hitting the wall behind me. The car came to a complete stop. 3.applying the brakes had no impact on the car neither decelerating nor accelerating. This shows that the brakes definitely did not work. 4.with my foot on the brakes, I put the car in drive. At no time did I press the accelerator pedal. I would have heard the engine. The instant I shifted to drive, the car lunged forward at a very high rate of speed. Consequentially, my car zoomed up the driveway into the ground level parking facing west. Within a second or so, my car collided with another car, parked facing west in front of pizza hut. Due to the force of the impact at such a high rate of speed, the parked hyundai superseded the concrete parking barrier crashing into pizza hut, shattering the store front window. 5.my car was thankfully stopped due to impact with the hyundai on the right side of my vehicle and a low wall on the left side.

When I pull my car into a parking spot with a cement parking bump stopper, the car hangs up on it causing some scratches on the underside- toyota has said there is no design flaw but I disagree. If I do not pull in all the way, I risk someone hitting the back of the car because I will be sticking out too far. A second problem is the AC. I live in florida and when I get into the car it is often over 100 degrees.. I have to drive for a few minutes with hot air blowing on me before the cool air kicks in. This makes me sweat and very uncomfortable. Toyota says that is just the design of the car. I never had that problem with my two rav4's. I am also wondering if a have the airbags that are recalled. No notice yet.

As I was driving around a curved street, my steering wheel locks on me. I could not swerve and turn my car to follow the curved street. I could not move the wheel at all. My car ran into a tree head first. All the airbags deployed and smoke appeared. My entire car was totaled and smashed in the front. Scariest thing because I had no control. Thank god, my 1 year old son was not in the backseat or else he would have been fatally injured with those airbags. I need to know what can be done. Toyota has had recalls in the past and this could have ended my life.

This am I hit a deer on the way to work head on at 65-67 MPH and not one air bag deployed!!! The entire front end crumpled to the windshield area and the radiator and parts torn lose to the top of engine and not one air bag deployed. Everyone at the wreck could not believe it and now I am terrified of the car if direct contact at that speed does not open the safety equipment what will? This car is not safe.

I was making a right turn pulling into a parking space in a shopping mall. I was approximately 1/2 to 3/4 of the way in when the vehicle took off and went into a tree and then a wall. I would guess the vehicle traveled approximately 40 feet after the sudden and unintended acceleration. This definitely was sudden and unintended acceleration. The front end of the vehicle was damaged by the tree and the wall the air bag did not deploy.

As I was driving through the rain storm at night, I noticed my windshield wiper motor stop working. The next morning I found there is a flaw of design where the fluid delivery system is below the engine hood which is a completely and utterly moronic. I found out damaged/dent hood caused it to improperly malfunction.

Toyota redesigned the instrument panel and went from a single clear cover angled towards the front to 2 separate instrument covers angled towards the left and right side. The design of these covers results in extreme reflections making it impossible to read the speedometer during morning and afternoon hours when the sun enters the vehicle from the side. The reflections under these conditions are so extreme that I can't even see the speedometer needle. Tinting the windows did not resolve the problem. Toyota's service department told me that they are not able to fix the issue. On july, 03, 2014 I had to guess my speed because the speedometer was unreadable. I received a speeding ticket saying that I was going at a speed which would make it impossible to avoid a collision. I have driven over 20 different cars in my life and never had a situation where I was not able to read the speedometer, even in my 1968 oldsmobile. To my understanding, a car manufacturer has to design the speedometer the way that it can be read under any conditions which is possible. It appears that toyota's engineers totally neglected the problem of sunlight reflections when designing the 2014 corolla instrument panel.

So I leased the 2014 toyota corolla s plus on 2/23/14. Approximately 2 to 3 weeks later I was vacuuming it out, when I lifted up the driver side car mat it had an enormous amount of water under the mat. So I dried it out, when I vacuumed it out again a week later there was water again under the driver side car mat. Again I dried the floor and I took the mats out, let them dry out. Then every morning I would check and water was under my driver side mat. I took it to the dealership they think possibly a leak in the windshield. I explained to them several times, I roll my driver side window down when I get in my car every morning and water literally pours in when I start driving. My arms and legs are wet every morning, it's from the morning dew on the car, it runs right in. I have to keep a towel in my door compartment so I can wipe the water off, so it doesn't ruin the interior. The dealership has now had it for 3 days, fri, sat, sun to "dry it out" because they pulled back the carpets and water was under it. They say none of the tubes are leaking and all the tubes are under the passenger side anyways, everything checks out fine. Personally I think its a design flaw, with the windows seeing as how the 2014 is a redesign.
