Driver side window switch is not working good. When using it to pull down driver side window is being scratched up due to i think lack of lubricant. Window switch works but is making marks on my windo and i am scared it will eventually break it.

When i am driving my 2010 toyota corolla s on the highway at speeds of over 50 mph it does not stay straight. It requires alot of strength to keep it straight. It feels like the car is being moved to the right or left by winds. Feels very unsafe to drive. The steering wheel is so stiff to turn sometimes. I have done the wheel alignment several times and put on new tires recently but the problem still remains. Very…

I was driving my car yesterday and as i went to accelerate the car didn't move so i pushed the gas pedal again and it went real slow. Then the car jerked and began to smoke really bad so i pulled over and open the hood and flames began to shoot out.

Car would start then driving at 10mph the car stalls and the dash lights illuminate the dashboard. Put the car in park and restart with no problem but if somebody was behind me it would've caused an accident. Last week car did the same thing except i the car was in motion towards an intersection from idle and had to quickly put it in park and restart it and move it before i would've been involved in a deadly…

Nothing yet but these recalls, one for the electric window master switch, well over a year old, and the other for the passenger side airbag, where i'm cautioned to not have passengers in that front seat, which is really inconvenient and means i don't have full use of my own automobile, has been out long enough that a fix is long overdue. Why the delay and why does the government do nothing for consumers who paid for…

Takata recall for almost eight months my car horn has not been working. I cannot inspect it without the car horn working! No one will touch it! It's like my car has a disease and no one wants to be corrupted or something. I saw on a tv program called fraud squad about how when a airbag is deployed some components in and around the airbag are affected to the point of failure. I've only had the car two years and the…

The car battery keeps dying on this vehicle even though the battery has been replaced and checked multiple times. The dealer claims a ground cable on the underside is corroded and "fixed" it- but the problem still occurs. My guess is this is a design defect. It's scary to drive a car that might leave you stranded every time you turn it off. This has been ongoing for the past 6 months.

Horn failed to honk when needed. It did not work while vehicle was in motion on a highway, it did not work on a city street, it did not work parked in my driveway. The wire became separated and there was a void, the wire cover stayed intact until i removed the connector from the horn. I had to connect a new wire from the existing wire and reconnect to the horn. All is fine now.

When applying the brakes, my car will rev up. Especially when i'm going down hill. Another concern is that my car will make a 2-3 second rattling noise upon starting up. It only makes this noise once in a while and it is coming from the engine. Another issue i'm having is the car's check engine light, track light and vsc off light coming on simultaneously on any rainy day and staying on for several days after it has…

I'm not 100% sure if the master switch window is part of the recall but my master switch was smoking and i felt like if i continued driving earlier it felt like my car was on fire. I could've lost control because my switch was literally smoking non stop. I was at the traffic light when it happened, luckily i was on the first line, i accidentally hit the window switch with my elbow and it started to smoke. I wasn't…
