ON MARCH 18, 2020 I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY ON A STEEP GRADE DURING A WINTER STORM AND WAS PART OF AN ACCIDENT THAT INVOLVED HITTING THE GUARD RAIL CAUSING MY CAR TO SPIN OUT AND SUSTAIN A TOTAL LOSS OF DAMAGE. LUCKILY I RECEIVED NO INJURIES BUT IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION DUE TO THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE THAT THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED AND THEY DID NOT. THE VEHICLE IS BEING HELD IN A LOT IN CASE IT NEEDS TO BE EXAMINED. TOYOTA HAS STATED THEY ARE NOT GOING TO EXAMINE THE VEHICLE UNLESS THEY CAN ALSO ACCESS THE EDR.

I WAS PULLING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AT BANK OF AMERICA IN LITHONIA, GA AND WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE, IT ACCELERATED AND I COULDN'T STOP IT UNTIL IT HIT A LIGHT POLE LOCATED BEHIND THE CAR. IT WAS A LOUD IMPACT BUT THANK GOD MY HUSBAND AND I WERE NOT INJURED NOR DID WE INJURE ANOTHER PERSON OR THEIR VEHICLE. IT WAS ONLY THE GRACE OF GOD THAT SPARED OUR LIVES BECAUSE IT WAS AT 9:00 A.M. IN THE MORNING AND A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE COMING IN AND OUT OF THE BANK. I HAVE HAD OTHER EPISODES OF ACCELERATION WHICH I REPORTED TO TOYOTA IN 2012 WHEN I HAD THE FIRST ACCIDENT WHICH COST 12,000 IN REPAIRS.THEY INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AT THAT TIME AND STATED THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I DID EXPERIENCE OCCASIONAL EPISODES OF ACCELERATION AFTER THAT INSPECTION BUT NO ACCIDENTS UNTIL FEBRUARY 1, 2020. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2012.

Remedy: SET will notify owners, and dealers will disconnect the heaters with copper strand heating elements and refund the purchase price of the seat heater accessory, free of charge. The recall is expected to began in January 2015. Owners may contact SET customer service at 1-866-405-4226.

In the affected vehicles, the rubber boot on the front suspension lower arm ball joint may have been damaged during manufacturing. The damage could cause the boot to leak lubricant grease which could then cause the ball joint to wear and loosen prematurely.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A loosened ball joint may separate from the knuckle and could cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the ball joint, free of charge. The recall began on December 16, 2014. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331.

Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) Number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: An inaccurate label could lead to owners overloading their vehicles and tires. An overloaded vehicle can result in a tire failure which may result in a vehicle crash, personal injury, or property damage.
Remedy: Southeast Toyota will notify owners and provide a corrected label with instructions concerning its installation. A small group of the affected vehicles will need additonal remedies which are still being developed. The recall began on May 28, 2013. Owners may contact Southeast Toyota at 1-800-301-6859.
Southeast Toyota Distributors, LLC (SET) is recalling certain models interspersed through model years 2009 through 2013 as follows: model year 2009-2012 Tacoma, 4Runner, Camry, Camry Hybrid, Prius, and RAV4; model year 2009-2010 Avalon, FJ Cruiser, and Highlander Hybrid; model year 2010-2013 model year Corolla, Sienna and Tundra; model year 2009-2013 Highlander and Venza; model year 2012 Prius V; and model year 2010-2012 Sequoia. During modification by SET to include accessories such as leather seat covers, seat heaters or headrest DVD systems, these vehicles may not have had the passenger seat occupant sensing system calibration tested. Without passing the calibration test, the occupant sensing system may not operate as designed.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the front passenger seat occupant sensing system is out of calibration, the front passenger airbags may not deploy or they may deploy inappropriately for the passenger's size and position. This could increase the risk of personal injury during the event of a vehicle crash necessitating airbag deployment.
Remedy: Southeast Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will test the sensitivity of the occupant detection sensors, and recalibrate them as necessary. The recall began on March 21, 2013. Owners may contact Southeast Toyota at 1-800-301-6859.
