EXITING PARKING LOT ONTO HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE ENTERED THE ROAD INTO THE PATH OF A TRACTOR TRAILER. *TR

The contact owned a 2009 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated that while driving at 5 mph and exiting a parking lot when the vehicle accelerated on its own, veered to the left, and crashed into a gate. No warning lights were illuminated and the air bags failed to deploy. The contact sustained injury to the right shoulder, right foot, and right hand, but did not seek medical attention. No police report was filed. The vehicle was totaled and towed to a towing company. Additionally, the contact stated in 2021 while reversing from a parking space, as the vehicle was driving forward, it veered to the left and crashed into a tree. The vehicle was towed to the to be diagnosed and repaired. Per the contact, the dealer offered no diagnosis or reason for the acceleration. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 103,000.

My daughter was hit by a red light runner at 60mph and her airbags did not deploy at all. Her head hit the door and she sustained a broken collarbone, concussion and mild brain bleed.

Vehicle speed control / sudden unintended acceleration. This was NOT a "misapplication of pedal" by driver! It was clearly a mechanical failure—apparently accelerator pedal (not floor mat, which was secured on its pegs). NO warning lamp, msg, symptom prior to crash. Afterward, saw NHTSA rpts others FIXED speed control issue & same prob STILL recurred! My VIN wasn't listed as unrepaired (likely the original owner repaired recall issue/s)—yet car was still dangerous! At slow speed, approx 1-2 mph, I was entering my garage in usual way, turning R. Car abruptly sped up uncontrollably (self-accelerated); couldn't stop it! Crashed thru garage doorpost & wall, then backyard fence. Lucky I'm alive & no one in yard. VERY traumatic! Physical injury (neck/back) helped by ibuprofen. FWIW air bag didn't deploy. AAA said they'd only tow for repair, not inspection. I wasn't going to repair; I'd NEVER trust driving that car again & wouldn't sell to ANYONE to drive, due to grave concern same issue'd recur! Available for inspection at PickNPull, Moss Landing, CA. PnP corp agreed they'd haul away ONLY for its OTHER parts—order taker understood it had UNTRUSTED accelerator pedal / vehicle speed control. They also promised me they wouldn't let anyone drive it! Of 2009 Corolla NHTSA's 1,523 rpts, "vehicle speed control" is 3rd highest, far > nearly all other rpts. Below, a few of MANY related examples. (Note: dates may be either report or incident dates.) 10/26/21 NHTSA #11438174; 5/31/17 #10992371; 7/16/16 #10885246 ("CAR WAS REPAIRED UNDER RECALL...STILL AN ISSUE WITH UNINTENDED ACCELERATION.); 6/3/16, #10872355; 10/2/14 #10640760 ("VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT FAILURE RECURRED"); 9/30/14 #10640098; 9/25/14 #10639073; 11/16/13 #10552563; 3/4/12 #10450183; 2/10/12 #10450183 ("ALREADY HAD ALL OF TOYOTA'S "RECALL" REMEDIES";) 1/29/12 #10447756; 6/22/10 #10343426 (recall work had been done); 6/23/10 #10340943 (work had been done); 6/6/10 #10339969; 5/18/10 #10330952.

2009 COROLLA LE - INCIDENT ON OHIO TURNPIKE ON 9/27/20. 3 LANE HIGHWAY. DRIVER IN THE MIDDLE LANE SAW A DEER AHEAD IN THE RIGHT LANE MOVING TOWARDS MEDIAN. DRIVER SWERVED TO THE LEFT TO AVOID HITTING THE DEER AND, IN A PROCESS, HIT THE MEDIAN CONCRETE BARRIER. VEHICLE SMASHED FULL FORCE INTO CONCRETE BARRIER, BOUNCED OFF, SPUN AND ENDED ON THE RIGHT SIDE ON THE RIGHT SHOULDER. VEHICLE COMPLETELY DESTROYED. IT WAS A HIGH SPEED FULL FORCE IMPACT WITH MEDIAN TO EVADE HITTING DEER, VEHICLE TOTALED/ NOT REPARABLE. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS GOT DEPLOYED AND THEY SHOULD.THE ENTIRE FRONT, INCLUDING CRACKED WINDSHIELD WITH GLASS PARTICLES FALLING ONTO THE DASHBOARD AND THE DRIVERS HANDS HOLDING STEERING WHEEL. MAJOR DAMAGE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AS WELL AS ON THE BACK CORNER OF THE VEHICLE @ THE DRIVERS'S SIDE. DRIVER GOT WORSE INJURIES THAN HE WOULD IF BAGS.DEPLOYED AS THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO. DRIVER HAD THE GLASS DUST PARTICLES AND BITS FROM THE SHATTERED WINDSHIELD ALL OVER HIM AND EMBEDDED IN HIS HANDS..PLEASE INVESTIGATE. I WANT TO PREVENT SOMEONE ELSEWHERE FROM GETTING INJURED DUE TO THIS ISSUE. I AM SURE THIS IS NOT THE ONLY 2009 COROLLA WITH THIS ISSUE. IT IS A SHAME FOR THE TOYOTA BRAND TO ALLOW THE MAIN SAFETY FEATURE (AND THE IMPORTANT SELLING POINT FOR THEIR BRAND) TO MALFUNCTION. THANK YOU

TAKATA AIRBAGS-THIS IS THIRD TIME THAT I AM FILLING THIS OUT. THIS WEBSITE IS DIFFICULT AND I COULD NOT CHECK ALL THE BOXES THAT I NEEDED. THIS CAR HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS.
