Potential Consequences:
MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DRIVING HOME FROM A CONCERT AT 10:30 PM ON THE 110 FREEWAY IN SAN PEDRO, CA WHEN WE HEARD A LOUD CRASH ON THE ROOF OF THE CAR. WE HADN'T JUST DRIVEN UNDER AN OVERPASS. THERE WAS NO DEBRIS BEHIND US. NO ONE WAS SWERVING OUT OF THE WAY TO AVOID ANYTHING. NO ONE WHO DROVE PASSED US REACTED AT ALL. WE COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT HAD HIT US AND KEPT HEARING GLASS MOVING AROUND. AT ONE POINT MY HUSBAND OPENED THE SUNROOF SLIGHTLY AND SAW A GAPING HOLE IN THE GLASS ALONG WITH GLASS SHARDS THAT STARTED FALLING INTO THE CAR. WHEN WE GOT HOME I LOOKED UP "EXPLODING SUN ROOFS" AND FOUND THAT SPONTANEOUS EXPLOSION WAS NOT UNCOMMON AND THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT FORMING AND PEOPLE REPORTED THEIR EXPERIENCES TO YOU. THE CAR HAD BEEN PARKED OUTSIDE FOR ABOUT 2 1/2 HOURS. THE TEMP WAS 49 DEGREES. THIS IS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. NO ICE. NO SNOW. NOT THAT COLD. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Potential Consequences:
WHEN DRIVING THIS MODEL, WHICH I OWN, I BELIEVE THE LED LIGHTING MAKES THESE CARS UNSAFE AT NIGHT. WHAT I WILL CALL THE LED HORIZON WHICH FLUCTUATES GREATLY ON HILLY OR UNEVEN ROADS, CAUSES LOSS OF NEEDED VISION. FLUCTUATION IN PAVEMENT REDUCES FORWARD VISION TO AS LITTLE AS A CAR LENGTH GOING DOWNHILL & PUTS IT INTO THE CLOUDS GOING UPHILL. & EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN ON SLIGHTLY UNEVEN ROADS. THE HORIZON IS CAUSED BY TOTAL LACK OF LIGHT - LED LIGHTS DON'T SHADE OR REFLECT GRADUALLY TO DARKNESS, BUT HAVE THAT SUDDEN CUT OFF RESULTING IN A TUNNEL VISION EFFECT. I HAVE TO LIVE WITH & DRIVE IN FOOTHILLS AT NIGHT. I COMPLAINED BY PHONE & EMAIL TO MANUFACTURER. I BROUGHT UP POSSIBLE REWIRING, DIFFERENT BULBS, ANYTHING AT 5000 MILE SERVICE & THAT I'D GLADLY PAY FOR SOME LIGHTING IMPROVEMENT. DEALER HELP SAID "NO ONE ELSE HAS COMPLAINED" & THERE IS NOTHING ALLOWED NOR AVAILABLE TO HELP IMPROVE LIGHTING. MANUFACTURER SAID THEY WEREN'T AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS. I CITED 2015 COROLLA COMMENTS ON THIS SITE & LATER EMAILED THEM THE IIHS STUDY. SINCE TOYOTA OBVIOUSLY HAS THE PRIUS V LIGHTING FIGURED OUT & THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE I STRONGLY BELIEVE ALL CARS WITH LED NEED TO BE BROUGHT UP TO SAFE STANDARDS. THIS DOESN'T MEAN JUST TOYOTAS, BUT OTHER BRANDS AFFECTED. THE LITTLE CAR IS OUTDRIVING HEADLIGHTS AT 30 MPH. THAT & MAKING ALL NEWER CARS SO LOW THEY SINK INTO WATER PUDDLES TOO EASILY ARE SAFETY PROBLEMS THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED INDUSTRY WIDE. I'LL GIVE THE DATE OF 1ST DRIVE, BUT OF COURSE IT IS ONGOING. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Potential Consequences:
2016 TOYOTA COROLLA DEFECT. THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS ON/OFF SWITCH IS ON THE SAME CONTROL AS THE HEADLIGHTS. THE DLRS TURNS ON BEFORE REACHING THE LOW BEAM SETTING AS YOU TWIST THE CONTROL. THE DLRS ARE ALMOST AS BRIGHT AS THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS AND UTILIZE THE SAME BULB AT A LOWER WATTAGE. THEY CAN BE MISTAKEN FOR YOUR HEADLIGHTS AT NIGHT AND YOU WILL BE DRIVING AROUND WITH NO TAILLIGHTS BECAUSE THE TAILLIGHTS ARE NOT ON WHEN THE SWITCH IS ON THE DLR SETTING. I GOT PULLED OVER BY A COP BECAUSE I HAD NO TAIL LIGHTS ONE NIGHT. THE DEALER HAS NO SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL THIS INCOMPETENT DESIGN KILLS SOMEONE. TOYOTA SHOULD FIRE THE ENGINEER BEHIND THIS AND ORDER A RECALL AND AT THE VERY LEAST REWIRE THE DLR SWITCH TO INCLUDE TAILLIGHTS AND BOOST THE WATTAGE ON THE DLR TO LOW BEAM POWER. IT AMAZES ME THAT THIS DEFECT WOULD PASS THRU A COMPANY LIKE TOYOTA AND MAKE IT TO THE MARKET. THIS WAS A MISTAKE ON MY PART AND I WAS ALREADY AWARE OF IT AND HAD ALREADY BROUGHT EVERY DRIVER IN MY HOUSE OUT TO THE DRIVEWAY TO SHOW THEM THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION. IF A CONSCIENTIOUS PERSON LIKE ME CAN MAKE THIS MISTAKE, ANYONE CAN.

THIS IS A REPORT OF BRAKE FAILURE THAT CAUSED A VEHICLE COLLISION WITH INJURIES. ON OCTOBER 29, 2016, I RENTED A 2016 TOYOTA COROLLA FROM A BETTERWAY RENT-ACAR, INC. D/BA BUDGET RENT A CAR OF ATLANTA, AT 6509 ROSWELL RD, ATLANTA, GA 30328. THE TOYOTA HAD 21,619 MILES AT THE TIME OF THE RENTAL. AT APPROXIMATELY 12:30PM I WAS DRIVING SOUTHEAST ON JIMMY CARTER BLVD IN NORCROSS GEORGIA. THE WEATHER WAS CLEAR AND SUNNY AND THE ROAD WAS DRY. UPON DEPARTING A TRAFFIC LIGHT, I ACCELERATED TO APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH IN MODERATE TRAFFIC TOWARDS VEHICLES WAITING AT THE INTERSECTION OF JIMMY CARTER BLVD AND ROCKBRIDGE SCHOOL ROAD ONE BLOCK AWAY. I BEGAN APPLYING THE BRAKES LONG BEFORE REACHING THE VEHICLES WAITING AT THE NEXT INTERSECTION, HOWEVER THE CAR'S BRAKE ACTION WAS MINIMAL. AS I COMPLETELY DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, I HEARD A CLICKING SOUND SIMILAR TO THE ENGAGEMENT OF AN ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS), HOWEVER THERE WAS NO SIGNIFICANT DECELERATION. WHEN I FULLY DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, I DID NOT HEAR AN INCREASE IN ENGINE RPM, THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DID NOT DOWNSHIFT, AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE. AS A RESULT OF THE TOYOTA'S BRAKE FAILURE, I IMPACTED A STATIONARY VEHICLE AT THE INTERSECTION OF JIMMY CARTER BLVD AND ROCKBRIDGE SCHOOL ROAD. THE TOYOTA'S AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO SKIDMARKS AT THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT. I SUFFERED INJURIES AS WELL AS MULTIPLE OCCUPANTS IN THE OTHER VEHICLE. *TR

D/BA BUDGET RENT A CAR OF ATLANTA, AT 6509 ROSWELL RD, ATLANTA, GA 30328. THE TOYOTA HAD 21,619 MILES AT THE TIME OF THE RENTAL. AT APPROXIMATELY 12:30PM I WAS DRIVING SOUTHEAST ON JIMMY CARTER BLVD IN NORCROSS GEORGIA. THE WEATHER WAS CLEAR AND SUNNY AND THE ROAD WAS DRY. UPON DEPARTING A TRAFFIC LIGHT, I ACCELERATED TO APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH IN MODERATE TRAFFIC TOWARDS VEHICLES WAITING AT THE INTERSECTION OF JIMMY CARTER BLVD AND ROCKBRIDGE SCHOOL ROAD ONE BLOCK AWAY. I BEGAN APPLYING THE BRAKES LONG BEFORE REACHING THE VEHICLES WAITING AT THE NEXT INTERSECTION, HOWEVER THE CAR'S BRAKE ACTION WAS MINIMAL. AS I COMPLETELY DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, I HEARD A CLICKING SOUND SIMILAR TO THE ENGAGEMENT OF AN ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS), HOWEVER THERE WAS NO SIGNIFICANT DECELERATION. WHEN I FULLY DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, I DID NOT HEAR AN INCREASE IN ENGINE RPM, THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DID NOT DOWNSHIFT, AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE. AS A RESULT OF THE TOYOTA'S BRAKE FAILURE, I IMPACTED A STATIONARY VEHICLE AT THE INTERSECTION OF JIMMY CARTER BLVD AND ROCKBRIDGE SCHOOL ROAD. THE TOYOTA'S AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO SKIDMARKS AT THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT. I SUFFERED INJURIES AS WELL AS MULTIPLE OCCUPANTS IN THE OTHER VEHICLE. *TR

Potential Consequences:
ON JUNE 24TH 2016 I PURCHASED A 2016 TOYOTA COROLLA S. I HAD 3 MINOR BRAKE FIALURES WITH GRINDING SOUNDS. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ON THOSE 3 OCCASIONS.THE 4TH BRAKE FAILURE WAS A LOT WORSE AND I ENDED UP APPLYING THE E BRAKE AND SLIDE INTO COUNTY LINE DIVIDING PASCO & HERNANDO COUNTY FLORIDA. ENOUGH WAS ENOUGH I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND SAID " I NEED TO BRING MY CAR IN ASAP BECAUSE NOW I HAVE HAD FOUR BRAKE FAILURES AND THIS ONE COULD HAVE KILLED ME IF ANYONE HAD BEEN COMING. THIS WAS THE 21ST OF JULY, I HAD BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR INSPECTION OF MY BRAKES. ALL THEY DID WAS TAKE IT FOR A TEST DRIVE, BROUGHT IT BACK AND SAID EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. ON SEPTEMBER TENTH 2016 I GOT INTO THE RIGHT HAND TURN LANE, WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. I CONTINUED TO APPLY MORE AND MORE PRESSURE AND STILL NO BRAKES. I WAS ABLE TO VEER ENOUGH TO THE RIGHT SO I DIDN'T IMPACT THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR HOWEVER THE LADY BEHIND THAT CAR WAS NOT AS LUCKY AND I IMPACTED HER FRONT LEFT PRETTY MUCH HEAD ON. I HAVE CALLED OVER AND OVER I HAVE SENT PICTURES OF MY CAR AND THE ROAD WHERE THERE WAS NOT EVEN 1 SKID MARK. I HAVE 9 BULGING DISC 4 HERNIATED DISCS. I AM LITERALLY BROKE FROM CAR RENTALS DR'S APPOINTMENTS AND MEDICATION THAT HAS BEEN VERY EXPENSIVE. EVERY TIME I CALL I AM INSTRUCTED I WILL RECEIVE A CALL FROM THEIR CLAIMS/LEGAL DEPARTMENT WITHIN 30 BUSINESS DAYS FROM WHEN THEY RETRIEVED THE DATA FROM THE CAR THAT ALMOST KILLED ME AND A POOR WOMAN WHO WAS TAKEN AWAY IN AN AMBULANCE. I LOOKED THROUGH THE DATA AND I AM NO ENGINEER AND I CAN EVEN SEE WHERE THE BRAKES FAILED. TO EVERYONE WHO READS THIS IF YOU SEE S NEWER TOYOTA BECAREFUL.

Potential Consequences:
HEADREST ANGLE. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING FROM MY EXPERIENCE THAT ALL CAR HEADRESTS NOW INDUCE NECK PAIN THANKS TO NHTSA'S TERRIBLE REGULATION MANDATING THAT HEADRESTS BE ANGLED OR HAVE A MINIMUM DISTANCE TO THE HEAD TO REDUCE WHIPLASH. THIS MANDATE, WHILE WELL INTENTIONED, IS HORRIBLE FOR ANY KIND OF DRIVING IN THE VEHICLE. IF I ATTEMPT TO SIT STRAIGHT UP IN ANY NEW CAR THE HEADREST ALWAYS HITS MY HEAD BEFORE BEING ABLE TO COMPLETELY REST MY BACK AGAINST THE SEAT. THE HEADRESTS, NO MATTER WHERE THEY ARE POSITIONED, HIT MY HEAD FIRST AND CAUSE IT TO TILT DOWNWARD WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SIT STRAIGHT CAUSING NECK PAIN WHILE DRIVING. EVERY CAR I HAVE DRIVEN (THIS 2016 TOYOTA COROLLA INCLUDED) WHETHER IT BE A RENTAL OR TEST DRIVING A NEW CAR, HAS INDUCED NECK PAIN BY SIMPLY TRYING TO SIT PROPERLY IN THE SEAT. I DO NOT HAVE SUCH ISSUES WITH MY OLDER VEHICLES (2006 TOYOTA COROLLA AND 2004 HONDA ELEMENT) THE ONLY WAY TO ALLEVIATE THIS DISCOMFORT I HAVE FOUND IS PUT THE SEAT AT AN INCLINE SUCH THAT MY HEAD DOES NOT COME CLOSE TO TOUCHING THE HEADREST AND I KNOW THIS IS NOT SAFE. PLEASE CONSIDER CHANGING OR MODIFYING THIS REGULATION. IT IS QUITE RIDICULOUS AND I HAVE MET MANY OTHERS WHO SHARE THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
