We believe something punctured the front left wheel of the car when driven down a street and the emergency brake when released did not stop the car. The car skid into parked cars and air bag was not deflated even though it was serviced under the airbag recall. Passenger sideview mirror, right body of car is damaged, side and portion of front and back bumpers became damaged. No out of pocket expenses made. The damaged car sits in our driveway soon to be towed and sold for parts.

Block causing oil to leak also the block impacted the ac compressor possibly causing the veh to catch fire melting the ac compressor harness, rf wheel speed harness, front bumper, wheel and wheel liner.no other failures seen or demo" this happened a week after I had my car inspected and maintained. Tried to reach Toyota, but they are not responding.

Corolla

  • 60,200 miles
I made a left hand turn and was hit on the front passenger side. The force of the hit spun my car in a full circle, damaged the entire front of the frame, knocked off the front bumper, caused the trunk to open, and caused severe damage spanning the whole front end of the car including the driver's side door which I was unable to open. During this accident, the airbags did not deploy. The estimated cost for repair for my Corolla was 13,000 dollars.

I was wondering if any other customer was having problems with their tires, I have had four nail in my tires four different times. My ground affect on my Toyota sport is fading the color after one year. The dealer told me it was from taking it through the carwash. I took it through mike's carwash two times and the other times through the Toyota carwash at the dealer ship. I had a hole in front floor mat after one year but they replaced all four of them. ## VIN passed ## Toyota Corolla 2010 ##

1. this car can not be driven in a straight line on the highway even when you hold steering without moving. It seems vehicle slowly, consistently drifts mostly to the left and to the right. One needs to pay so much attention on steering while driving. This problem has been there since day one (8 miles) and I requested to fix before I sign the paper work but not has been taken care other than car wash. This issue still exists even after performing alignment during our first service visit as I thought it was an alignment issue. We believe it is a very serious issue than sticky pedal and pose a potential risk for Corolla owners if we can not control steering. It has potential road hazard as the vehicle wanders both left and right especially with heavy traffic and feels like car wheels are not under control. We are positive that these steering/suspension issues were also raised on other 2010 Corollas by a number of owners. Toyota and dealers must be fully aware of these concerns but failed to declare up front. During our second visit they told us about ts 1040 and replaced steering control computer board. Seems wandering issue is gone for now. But tires are problem as I am having concern from the beginning. 2. I feel humming mild vibration/resonance in steering wheel when we cross 50-60 mph. It feels like tires are vibrating the steering wheel. Replacing computer controller did not fix mild vibration of steering. 3. tires: As I had doubt about tires this could be tires problem but Toyota service team is not willing to accept the fact. Once you cross 62 mph you can clearly feel the tire vibration mainly in a steering wheel and also on the vehicle. Road force balancing has been done but there is no improvement. I am not sure it is engine related or tires. I have been insisting on replacing another set of better balanced tires or different make of tires.
