2011 TOYOTA COROLLA — Problems, Recalls & Safety Data

The contact owned a 2011 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated that while he was driving at 40 MPH, another vehicle that was speeding caused a multiple vehicle collision. During the collision, the contact was in the middle lane when the speeding vehicle crashed into a vehicle in the left lane, and that vehicle merged violently into the middle lane, causing the contact to rear-end the vehicle in front due to the driver abruptly stopping. During the attempt to stop, the vehicle failed to decelerate sufficiently. Upon impact, the frontal air bags failed to fully deploy, as they only partially emerged from the housing. The failure experienced was a loss of braking effectiveness at 40 MPH that resulted in a rear-end collision, during which the frontal air bags failed to deploy. The vehicle was towed to a family member's home. The tire pressure warning was the only warning light on at the time of the crash. The driver was injured. Injuries sustained were lower back, right side ribs, and neck pain that required medical attention. The vehicle was deemed totaled by insurance. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 124,000.

I am submitting a safety concern regarding airbag non-deployment involving my former vehicle, a 2011 Toyota Corolla LE (VIN: [XXX] ). This vehicle was subject to multiple Takata airbag recalls, including a 2018 front airbag recall and a May 2020 Takata non-deployment and seatbelt pretensioner interim recall. Beginning in Spring 2021, the airbag warning light illuminated intermittently. On May 30, 2024, diagnostic trouble codes B1813 and B1818 were recorded, indicating faults involving the driver and passenger airbag squib circuits and potential center airbag sensor assembly involvement. A recall-related repair was completed on June 6, 2024 with installation of a Harness Kit (04009-98112) under extended warranty associated with a class action settlement. Following subsequent service, the airbag warning light was no longer illuminated. After these repairs, the vehicle was later involved in a rear-end collision in which the airbags did not deploy. The vehicle was declared a total loss and is no longer in my possession. Given the vehicle’s documented history of airbag system recalls and prior SRS fault codes, I am submitting this incident for safety documentation and review.

The contact owns a 2011 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact heard a loud knocking sound coming from the engine compartment. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the oil pressure sending unit had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 150,000.

Part of a customer support repair program through Toyota. It expired, and Toyota Customer Care at 1-888-270-9371 told me to file a complaint at NHTSA.gov. So I am filing a complaint. The paint is peeling on my car rapidly and I have missed the support program deadline because it was not happening in the timeframe they created for this problem. But there is no reason for my pain to be peeling like it is other than manufacture error.
