I had a wreck and I ran into another car going about 25 MPH and my air bag did not deploy. I hit someone from behind, I thought I hit the brake but it did not stop and acted like I had the accelerator on. So I am asking about air bag & brake problems

Takata recall this recall came out in may, and I cannot even have anyone sit in the front seat, as there is a risk if there is a front impact that metal shards will go into the occupants face from the airbag.

I stopped on a slow going traffic on a highway.suddenly, a Ford explorer hit me on the back trunk and rear glass damaged suddenly and pushed my car to hit the car in front of me. It damaged the front badly. If I have passengers in the back, it will hurt them badly or sudden death because of the back is not strong which cause the glasses to break and bend the trunk and sun roof. The air bag did not pop up. It is not safe!! My head, neck, back, spinal cord were painful. There were no damage on the Ford explorer. Toyota was easily damage and rolled/pushed to the front car. Please tested the back/trunk/bumper/airbag. Recently about 5 months ago, my 2006 corolla was hit behind from a Honda accord that was going 5mph after making a stop at a stoplight. My car was badly damaged at the bumper an

Takata recall--car make and model are listed on recall list--local Toyota dealer says no--but don't trust that statement. Checked with colonial Toyota, indiana pa 15701--was repeatedly told no.

The paint on my 2013 Toyota Corolla, Super White (040), is peeling extensively down to the primer on the roof, hood, trunk, and door frames and pillar areas. Toyota previously acknowledged this issue as a manufacturing defect affecting 2008–2017 Corollas and issued a Warranty Enhancement Program to address it. My vehicle’s claim for assistance was denied solely due to the program expiration, even though the defect persists. The peeling is widespread, severe, and not consistent with normal wear or environmental exposure. The metal surfaces are exposed, increasing the risk of corrosion. I am submitting this complaint to document the defect and Toyota’s refusal to assist despite prior acknowledgment.
My daughter has the 2013 Toyota corolla and she was in a serious situation. She was followed by 3 people and when she stopped and parked her car the doors automatically unlocked and before she knew it someone opened her door and dragged her out of the car and she was jumped on by 3 people. Because her doors automatically unlocked my daughter was seriously injured. If the doors did not automatically unlock when you put the car in park she could have been safe. I have two corollas. One I drive 2016 and one my daughter drives 2013 and they both have the same issue. I think their should be a recall because this is a serious issue. My daughter could have been beaten to death because her doors automatically unlocked but she was seriously injured. I will be filling more complaints until this is r

brakes 2 complaints shown
There's a high pitched metal grinding noise that has been coming and going on it's own when applying the brakes. This noise happens at slow or high speeds. My brake pads still have meat on them and the rotor is not warped as well. I've even checked for brake dust which I don't have any so I'm not sure what's going on. My friend's 2012 corolla makes the same metal grinding noise when braking and there has even been complaints on carcomplaints.com and see people having the same issue. I bought this car over two years ago and it still has been making the same noise since then. Please look into this because this could be a serious issue due to a problem with the most important part of a car..the braking system! Thank you, NHTSA. *tr
I leased my car in june 2013 and about a year and half later the mechanic told me that my brakes are getting low. I was confused I thought brakes lasted a least three years brand new out the dealership. He said no it depends how I drive and how many times I stop. So I said really you have cars coming in a year and half later that have low brakes already it sounds like you guys put in cheap brakes. He said no that their brakes are top quality brakes. So I said ok but I will wait six months. So here we are now 2 years into my lease and about 19500 miles into my car they said I needed brakes. I called pep boys, midas, and other shops they said my brakes shouldn't die that fast. I said I thought so too but the Toyota insist that their brakes are excellent and that it is normal for brake

Dec 27 2015 around reno nv. It happened three times that day. I was breaking gently to come to a stop (because of a stop sign). The shifter was in "d". When the car speed decreased to around 10mph, the engine suddenly accelerated and the car lurched forward. I applied maximum pressure on the brake pedal to stop the car. The car stopped, the engine was idling after the stop. After the stop, everything went back to normal, till it happened the 2 other times this day (same scenario). Dec 29 2015 in south lake tahoe ca. I was driving at around 10mph in heavy traffic in downtown. Shifter was in "d". The car in front of me stopped. I depressed the brake pedal to stop. At that point the engine suddenly accelerated in full force. The car lurched forward. I applied full force on the brake pedal

electrical 1 complaint shown
When we go to remove the key from the ignition switch it won't turn completely to allow removal at times and you have to start the car several times to move it and it can affect the shifting of the transmission out of park. The vehicle was stationary at the time. This of course can be a safety problem.
