CarComplaints.com Notes: Beware of the NHTSA complaint data for the 2007 Corolla. It is almost certainly misleading.
The problem with NHTSA data for the 2007 Corolla is that for months on end, the news media repeatedly told the public that several Toyota models have an unintended acceleration defect, & to go to safercar.gov (the NHTSA's website) to file a complaint.
So, the NHTSA received a disproportionate number of complaints about Toyota unintended acceleration issues because of the national news media attention, to the point where now the NHTSA data is unreliable taken in context with any other vehicle that did not receive national news attention.
CarComplaints.com typically receives more complaints per day about vehicles than the NHTSA does, but the news media did not repeatedly say "go to CarComplaints.com to report your Toyota acceleration problems" like they did about the NHTSA -- so although we have less complaint data than the NHTSA for the 2007 Corolla, our data for the Corolla is a far more statistically accurate representation of the Corolla's reliability than what the NHTSA data shows.

Takata inflators. You, the NHTSA, are fully aware the takata airbags are not safe and have harmed people. Why is it taking so long to issue a safety recall on my model of car? I could be killed, and the delay by the NHTSA to recall the airbags, would be your fault. Maybe you have forgotten your responsibility is to the public.
I have to set my Toyota Corolla in the garage, and I had to use public transportation while these issue will be solve. I use this vehicle to Transport my family of 5, to work, for school and weekends.

"takata recall." I am being told by the auto airbag settlement notice administrator that my 2007 Toyota Corolla vehicle is on the "priority 1 group" concerning the takata airbag class action suit, but the NHTSA safecar.gov information notes a 0 (zero) recall. There seems to be a contradiction between the two sources. What should be my next step?
