| My daughter had a head-on collision with a motorcycle, while driving her 2004 toyota corolla. the motorcycle rider was killed. the airbag in the corolla deployed and saved my daughter's life. unfortunately, she still has little, or no memory of the accident. we don't know what happened, or why? the police believe she lost control of her vehicle, crossed the lane into oncoming traffic and struck the motorcycle. a witness stated her car was going fairly fast. why was it going so fast in a residential area? a traffic light was right in front her (about 100 feet ahead). at that light, she would have taken a square right hand turn, enroute to her home. i don't understand why she was going so fast. and i don't understand why she lost control of her car. she was 90% of the way home. it was about 6:15 in the afternoon in the middle of summer. a sunny day, no clouds or precip. the car is being held by the west springfield, ma police department. can you inspect the vehicle? she had complained to me about the vehicle previous to this. she once asked me add power steering fluid. when i checked, the reservoir was already up to the full mark. being a dad, my only job was to maintain the car (change oil, etc). i very, very rarely drove the car. and when i did drive, it was fine. this corolla was registered in my name. i bought it in 2007 for my daughter (her first car). i bought corollas for both of my children. i gave my son a 2001 corolla years ago. i'm a big believer in toyota quality. i own a tacoma myself. but, something isn't right about this accident. i think the steering and acceleration should be checked, as a minimum. *tr updated 05/19/10 *bf | |||

| When i stop the car when i'm driving e.g. at a traffic light, the car pulls forward when i brake. this occurs like 70% of the time. i tried to get in touch with toyota and they tell me that the recall does not apply for my vehicle. since i bought the car brand new, i thought it was my imagination but i came to a realization that it is my car. *tr | |||

| I was driving my 2004 toyota corolla the other day on a side road. i was approaching a corner in the road and took my foot off my gas pedal. the car continued to accelerate. i pushed on the break which slowed the car slightly, but wouldn't stop it. i put the car into neutral and pulled off to the side of the road. the engine was revving very loudly so i turned off the car. i proceeded to turn the car back on and it was still revving. i pulled on the gas pedal and check my floor mat, as i knew of all the current recalls in effect. the floor mat was not in the way and the pedal appeared fine. nothing changed. i called a tow truck and in about 2 hrs later when the tow truck guy started my car, it appeared fine. it was brought to a toyota dealership, whom played if off as if my floor mat was the cause and sent me on my way. i then brought it to my father who used to be a mechanic and he checked all the mechanics of the car. he lubed up some parts and cleaned the accelerator plate, however he stated everything looked good to him. as of today this has not happen again. *tr | |||

| My 2004 corolla le is the first vehicle i have owned that has cruise control. when i am driving at highway speeds and engage the cruise control, it holds a steady speed. when the vehicle encounters an incline, such as a bridge or a hill, it will downshift and continue to accelerate well beyond the speed set. every instance that this has happened i have been able to simply disengage the cruise control within 5 to 10 mph above the set speed, but it seems as though the vehicle would continue to accelerate as long as it was on the incline. thinking this is how cruise control worked, not having used it before, i never took it to a dealer and simply turn it off when encountering an incline.. in light of the recent toyota acceleration issues, i thought this information would be useful to nhtsa. *tr | |||

| I was on my way to work. i came to a traffic light which was red. there were two cars stopped at the light. when i hit the brake to stop, the accelerator started roaring and the brake would not grab. i pushed it as hard as i could and finally it grabbed just before i would have hit the car in front of me. when i got to work, i was backing into a parking place and the same thing happened. it has not happened since. i was wearing large boots at the time and just assumed my foot hit both the accelerator and the brake at the same time but now that the recall has happened, i wonder if it wasn't my over sized boots. *tr | |||

| I was driving my 2004 toyota corolla last march 13, 2009 at noon in a crowded parking lot in mason , ohio, a suburb of cincinnati. i was stopping at a stop sign and after that, i pushed on my gas pedal when the car took off , going from a dead stop to 60 mph , crossing the lot so fast that i was lucky i did not kill anyone that day. i could not control the car at all. it was as if i was on a dragstrip trying to race! i was surrounded by minivans and there was a burger king restaurant on the one side of me with a busy kohl's next to my car. i was terrified because i could not stop the car! the brakes did not work for me ,at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i had to stop the car as i had only a few minutes to stop or i would have jumped over a 4 foot grassy partition before i went into a 4 lane intersection full of traffic!!!!!!!!!!!!! i would have caused a nice accident and killed someone or many!!!!!!!!!!! i threw the car into park and turned off the ignition right then the car did a 180 degree turn landing near the grassy partition!!!!!!!!! i was fine but so scared!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i had no idea what to do to stop but it worked. i went to king's toyota after that which was across the street. they checked the car and said it was a buildup of gases in the car!!!!!!! such a lie!!!!!!! why did they not know what was it was?? they have had complaints since 1999?????????? my question is why is my car not part of the recall since i have had a sudden acceleration problem?? king's will look at my car next week but they will make me pay for repairs when it's their fault and it's not on the list. please have them expand the recall so that people like me can trust their cars again. *cn *tr | |||

| While waiting at a stop light the 2004 toyota corolla would surge forward. this has happened several times, roughly 4-5 a year, and if the brake was not firmly applied cars in front of me would have been hit. no attempt was made to fix this as it was inconsequential at the time. i am concerned that one of these times it may not be. *tr | |||

| Frightening incident that was reported on my 2004 toyota corolla le/sd 4 dr. parking my vehicle in a driveway (on a slight incline), dry conditions, and only 1 foot from a parked cargo van. about to place foot on brake to stop completely to turn car off and full acceleration took place. gas pedal went full throttle and hit the cargo van. tires were spinning, left tire tracks. my car pinned between a cargo van and pulling to the left -- six inches from hitting a subaru owned by sister. acceleration went for about two minutes as i was applying the brakes, no results. i looked down to see if my car mat was in the way and the answer is no. three people came outside the home to see what the loud impact was and why the car was accelerating in that manner-- thinking the engine had blown. i was able to put the car in neutral, then park and shut it off while applying the brake. contacted toyota corporate office who then referred me out to customer experience center on monday 12/7 to inform them of my ordeal. they arranged for my car to be serviced by a technician on 12/15/2009 at the toyota dealer in greer, sc. i was told to pick the car up after 1 1/2 hours. i had car towed to and from car dealer. in january 2010, i picked up a certified letter from the post office that was dated december 23, 2009. it stated that based on our findings provided above, we respectfully decline any further assistance in this matter. the inspection was - providing a road test and the brakes, held vehicle speed at 10 mph, no leakage with brakes, and acceleration did not stick. they sent me on my way and closed the case and thanked me for my business and being a loyal toyota customer! i only had my car for two years. it is the first time it happened. i ultimately had to get another vehicle to get around in. it was my only vehicle. there is a serious safety issue with more vehicles than they are stating. mine is a 2004. *tr | |||

| Regarding sudden acceleration in the toyota corolla: although this problem has recently been widely reported on the news in other models i have experienced dozens of events in the toyota corolla for an entirely different reason. the spacing between the brake pedal and the accelerator is so close that anyone who has big feet such as me ( i wear a men's 12 wide shoe) can easily hit the accelerator at the same time the brake is hit. this problem became such an issue for me since my elderly mother owns 2 different toyota corolla that i avoid using her cars whenever possible. however because she is so old and cannot easily get into cars that are low to the ground because of their small wheel diameters i do take her in her car at times. there is hardly a single instance in which i drive the car that i do not experience problems. i also tried about 5 years ago to buy my own toyota corolla but being aware of the problem i asked the dealer if he could move the brake pedal and he told me there was nothing that could be done. this car is very dangerous for anyone with feet larger than the normal. i expect that in japan they must have small feet for creating such a stupid blunder. this vehicle should be removed from the road. i experienced the problem in more than one model year. my mother owns two different model years. the car i test drove on the dealers lot was another model year. so at least 3 different model years after 2004 have the problem. it can easily be seen just by looking at the pedal spacing. this blunder in design is hard to believe since it is so stupid. *tr | |||

| Date 10/20/2007 this saturday morning at 9:05 am, after mass at the miami archdioceses, i had a most unpleasant experience with my 2004 toyota corolla. when i moved to reverse my car from my parking place, i experienced a sudden dramatic increase from the car's idle and a release of the acceleration, causing the vehicle to move backward very fast. i immediately put the car in neutral, but did not stop and then, in a few seconds to forward to avoid hitting any persons or vehicles in my back in the church parking lot. in total about 45 feet backward and forward, perhaps 30 seconds plus in total . i then crashed on the wall of st. martha rectory. the car was uncontrollable and the front of my car's hood, front doors were badly damaged, (especially the right side, where my sick wife sat ) damages with a preliminary estimate of $ 5864. i have two concerns: a) sudden acceleration when car is started and inability to stop it . b) no air bag system deployment in spite of the strength of the impact and having the entire front bumper of the car destroyed. 2) i have lost my trust in my present toyota corolla car (i have had one before and a camry, and their performance was satisfactory). i would like to have a very careful inspection of our vehicle, its capacity for sudden uncontrollable acceleration, lack of air bag protection, and the like. *tr | |||

| Drove car to work on day of accident with no incidents. parked vehicle for about 5 hours then drove it again for about 1 half hour then park. at 5:00 p.m. left the office to go home. on the way home i made tow stops, one at the post office and another at my sister's house. upon leaving my sister's, i proceed to go up hill. when i got to the top of the hill with my foot on the brake pedal i proceeded to put the vehicle in low gear as i am accoustomed to when going down a hill which i was about to do. as i put the vehicle in gear, it accelerated to top speed going down the hill. i looked down to make sure my foot was on the brake pedal...it was. the vehicle began racing down hill. i applied the emergency brakes but it did not hold. i decided to try to steady the vehicle with both hands on the steering wheel as i lost control of the vehicle to no avail. i crashed into a parked vehicle bounced from side to side then hit a bump in the road and become airborne. the vehicle dropped in a ditch bounced again then crashed into a dirt embankment on the other side of the street at which time both the driver's and passenger's airbags deployed. on january 6, 2006 i took the vehicle to the toyota dealer here on island for full service. the front brakes were changed as indicated on my work order and the back brakes were cleaned and adjusted. on march 6, 2006, i went in to the service department to report the accident describing what happened. i was told that the brakes were not the problem. when i asked what would cause the vehicle to do something like that, they told me they did not know and that they would have a specialist from puerto rico fly in to look at the vehicle. i am waiting to hear from them. *nm | |||

| When parking the car the car attempted to accelerate on its own. i looked down to make sure my foot was not on the gas - my foot was planted on the brake. i had to brake as hard as a i could to keep the car from rear ending the vehicle in front as the engine all on its own dragged the car forward. the car was moving at about two miles an hour when this took place. the engine revved up to 4000 rpms without any pressure on the gas and simply dragged the car forward. *jb | |||

| I was braking for a stoplight. after coming to a complete stop the engine began to race with the rpms rising above 4000 before i turned off the ignition. i had to press down on the brake pedal as hard as i could and was barely able to hold the car at the intersection. this was the second time this had happened. the first time occurred approximately 2 months earlier. during that incident, the engine raced to over 6,000 rpms before i shut off the ignition. after both incidents, i took the car to lithia toyota in redding, ca. both times they said that no error codes were set and since the car engine did not race during the test drives, there was nothing wrong with it. they stated tha they had never heard of any other toyota vehicles behaving in this manner, yet i found 25 similar complaints regarding the 2004 camry on this website, and 21 such complaints for 2002 through 2005 model year corollas. | |||

| I own a 2004 toyota corolla with about 13,000 miles. last week i was driving on a flat city street, going about 30 mph, when i had to slow down for a red light. i came to a complete stop with my foot securely down on the brake pad when the engine began to rev and the car lurched forward. there was enough space between me and the car in front of me to avoid an accident. nonetheless, this concerned me because i have detected the same problem once or twice before while stopped on an incline. the assistant service manager at my toyota dealership said he's not aware of these problems, but i found something similar on the web concerning the camrys. i am getting the car checked out this weekend. *jb | |||

| Consumer states that brake pedal was too close to the gas pedal. when the brakes were depressed the consumer's foot also pressed the gas pedal which almost caused an accident. *ak (shawn t. hebley 08/20/03) *scc *jb | |||

| My husband was driving my 2004 corolla-s. he had the cruise control set for 75 mph. i looked down at the speedometer because it seemed he was speeding up and noticed the speed at 90 mph. he couldn't take it off cruise control so he hit the brakes and a shortly after the cruise control light came off. we did start slowing down when he used the brakes. *jb | |||
