This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Driver was trying to park the car, thus the car was travelling at very low speed. Car suddenly surged after the driver applied the brake. Car went over the cement tire stopper, up a small hill, hit a wall, and stopped. This cannot possibly have been caused by the driver hitting the accelerator pedal. This is a serious safety problem. We will contact the dealer and the manufacturer on July 16, 2001.
Consumer's vehicle was traveling about 55mph on and another vehicle veered into it. Consumer applied brakes, and anti- lock braking system didn't kick in. Dealership was aware of problem.
I visited several Toyota dealers because I am helping a friend in bying a new Corolla. Despite I advise her to include the safety fetaures: Side airbags and ABS no dealear make them available if not increasing the lease by 50% (while the increase in value is about 10%) and asking to wait 3 months. Making so practically impossible to have them. Some dealers reached the point to say that those items are not available on the Corolla. Such a behaviour it is not acceptable. Car manufacturers are supposed to promote the sensibility toward safety not to boycott it.
