Vehicle owners and stockholders are filing class action lawsuits in the wake of a series of massive Toyota recalls, suing the Japanese automaker for the lost value of both stocks and the vehicles themselves. The company also faces a number of Toyota injury lawsuits filed by individuals who have suffered a severe personal injury or death in an accident caused by problems with the accelerator or brakes.

New Toyota class action lawsuits were filed recently on behalf of all Toyota hybrid owners in the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles on Monday, and on behalf of California owners of recalled Prius and Lexus hybrids in Los Angeles County California Superior Court on Friday. Both Toyota class action suits were filed due to the latest Toyota recall of 2010 Prius and Lexus HS250h models over brake problems. In addition, a lawsuit was filed on Monday in the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles on behalf of all Toyota stockholders.

The Toyota stockholder lawsuit alleges that the company’s stocks dropped 20% because of the recalls, and charges Toyota executives with deceiving investors about the health of the brand when they knew that there were acceleration and brake problems. It names the company’s top executives, as well as the company itself, as defendants in the suit.

The two lawsuits filed on behalf of vehicle owners allege that the company long knew about problems with the Toyota hybrids’ brake systems but did not warn consumers. It charges Toyota with breach of warranty, product liability, negligence, and violating California fair business practice laws.

Earlier this week Toyota recalled more than 437,000 of the 2010 gasoline-electric hybrid vehicles because the brakes ceased to work for a moment due to a software glitch. About 150,000 of the recalled vehicles were in the hands of U.S. owners.

The Toyota hybrid recall followed several waves of recalls over sudden acceleration problems in a number of leading Toyota vehicle lines.

In September 2009, a Lexus and Toyota recall was issued for 3.8 million vehicles that contained certain all-weather floor mats, which Toyota indicated could get stuck under the gas pedals, causing unintended acceleration. In January, Toyota issued another recall for 2.3 million Toyota vehicles, including 600,000 that were not subject to the prior floor mat recall due to an actual mechanical problem that was causing some gas pedals to stick. Shortly after, the company stopped production and sales on eight of its most popular vehicles, including the Corolla, Camry, and Tundra. The company has also announced it is recalling nearly 2 million vehicles in Europe and almost 80,000 in China.

The Toyota accelerator pedal recalls have resulted in more than 60 lawsuits, including over a dozen wrongful death and personal injury claims.

My daughter bought me a 2011 Toyota RAV4 I drove for 10 months , I have had the regular maintenance and oil changes ,car ran great made no noise and two weeks ago after waiting at a like on exit ramp I went to go forward and didn’t realize the car had stopped running and was totally locked up , I had local garage verify this .I contacted the dealership in NC and ask what I should do and they said if I could get the car towed in they would really like to take a look and find out what is going on “ Becouse this doesnt happen “I live in Salem Va. So went thru the trouble of getting it towed and told by several mechanics that they would figure out exactly what happened and would let us know. Two days later we get a phone call they have no idea what happened but it’s definitely the engine and it’s locked up and it would be to costly for them to find out what happened,But for about 8000 they would be willing to put a new motor in.I’m on disability and still owe almost 9000 on this car, I have no idea what to do. We got this car because we had heard such great things about Toyota .my opinion of Toyota I guess I should keep to myself ,becouse as the saying goes if you can’t say anything nice ,don’t say anything at all

Duped and manipulated by dishonest salesman and cheated out of more than $7000. because of NO DISCLOSURE about charges. Parker Toyota in Coeur d’Alene Idaho should be ashamed. My advise is steer clear of this trap. Don’t go near them without a lawyer.

I intermittantly lose brakes on my 2010 Toyota Prius. I have taken to Toyota numerous times only to be told they get no error code. So, they refuse to do anything. I have had (2) accidents already and they still are not offering to replace car. The second accident gave me a wittness to problem. When in body shop that Toyota refered me to, repairman lost brakes and couldn’t get them back. This was on a Friday that he tried everything to get brakes back. At end of day he left in repair bay and was going to call Toyota to come look at it Monday. He came in Monday morning to move car out of way. To his suprise the car had brakes again. This is my only car and Toyota insists there is nothing wrong with it. I’ve had a couple other problems with car that point to an electronic system failure. After I paid for this car, the finance manager insisted that I needed the extended waranty because they have problems with electronic systems.

2005 Avalon Limited: Problem: Front timing cover leak First told it was a rack and pinion leak. We ponted out they told us it leaked a year ago and we had it repaired. Then they said: Oh sorry, It is a timing cover leak. Seems like they do not know what if anything is leaking. Toyota has a recall on the hose leaking,but not this problem, although they have a bulletin on it. However the leaking front of the timing cover is not on recall. My first question, what is really leaking if anything. Secondly, with all the same problem listed by Avalon owners, why is there not a class action law suit. Obviously there is a big design flaw when Toyota has to lift out the engine and transmission to do a $50.00 repair, raising the repair cost to well over $2000.00 . Lets get started on it.

i used to love toyota.started out with a 77 cilica.no problems.then i bought a 97 cilica.it caught on fire sitting in my driveway,there was a short in the wiring that connected the passenger airbag in the dash.it melted the passenger dash into the floorboard,cracked the windshield,deployed the airbag,smoked the entire enterior,and threw the whole electrical system off.a total loss.just paid it off and canceled the full coverage too.then i bought a 04 rav 4.124,000 miles and i kept smelling gas at the rear of the car.no oil leaking,no gas leak.using oil for some reason.going down 95,it blew a piston completely through the bottom of the motor.,and caught on fire.both times i contacted toyota,to be told there was nothing they could do for me.once again,i had just paid the car off,and lowered the insurance.i am finished with toyota.they do not back their products anymore,and a six year old car should not be catching on fire.they are getting sorryer sorryer about taking care of their problems and sending out recalls.cars cost too much to become total losses after only six years.

I haven’t posted in a while but I have bad news and good news. I took my 2010 Toyota Camry to the service department two weeks ago and learned that parts had to be ordered for an additional Toyota defect. The good news is, I decided to take a loss and I traded the Toyota for a GM product. I promise all of you that I will NEVER buy a toyota product again. I will ride a mule before I buy toyota.

I have a 2001 Toy Rav 4 which had a defective ECM module which caused a 2nd gear transmission failure and automatic shift delay of several seconds which nearly caused an accident. Toy advised dealers in 2006, however never told customers. Repair can cost several thousand dollars. Recall offered however Toyota makes it unnecessarily difficult to obtain refund.

I just had a major engine blow up, on a 2007 Toyota Avalon V6 engine. when I brought my car and asked about the engine tapping they said it was normal. I brought my car with 5,000 miles on it. toyota rebuilt my car and it is running, but the problem is that I paid 30,000 or more for this car and now at 38 thousand miles I have a rebulit engine. I should be entitled to have Toyota give me a new car. Not to mention the value. Toyota had the car towed to their repair shop and they immediately knew what was wrong with it because they fix them all the time. While we were having the car repaired another Totyota rolled into the adjacent bay with the same problem. This begs for a class action lawsuit. I would love my money back. but I still owe 17,000 on a lemon. What happen to the lemon law? I want to give this one back and get a complete refund. They make like its better then before, I said “you sold me a lemon/ used car at a new car price. anything for a dollar.:(

I own a 2009 tacoma 4×4.I’ve had 5 accurances of unexpected accelleration.I’ve taken it to the dealer 4 times complaining about the problem.Each time they tested it they said theres nothing wrong with it.I went through all the recalls but the problem still excists.I even went through the arbitration procedure and they said theres nothing wrong with my truck and no further action will be tacken by toyota.I asked them to replace the ecm and they refuse to.Toyota doesnt care if I get hurt.I asked them to buy it back from me and they insulted me with a really low offer.I’m getting screwed and it seems like theres nothing I can do about it.I’ll never buy another toyota vehicle after this.Sign me up for the class action lawsuit.

i bought a 2000 tacoma prerunner used…we have 93000 on it and all was trouble free until the engine seized up right before christmas…no warning and yes we do change are oil regularly…contacted two attorneys and they wont take case …they said they arent handling 2000 year models….i think it was a oil sludge problem or crankshaft failure and cam shaft problem but who knows dont have the money to get it changed…if anyone knows of a class action suit let me know

We just had a major oil line failure on a 2006 Toyota Avalon V6 engine. The oil line is rubber in some places and it does not stand the test of time. The line breaks and the oil sprays all over your engine and undercarriage. We had the car towed to a repair shop and they immediately knew what was wrong with it because they fix them all the time. Since the oil line is hard to reach the repairs run about $350 plus towing to replace a $13 part! While we were having the car repaired another Totyota rolled into the adjacent bay with the same problem. This begs for a class action lawsuit.

I owned a 2004 Camry. I took my daughter to school one morning and was on the way home and woke up in the hospital. What happened is still undetermined. I was air lifted to a hospital and with my sever head injury, could not remember the accident.They had to recessitate me and I was in ICU.I still have scares and a death grip on the steering wheel, wherever I go and dont go anywhere alone. There were no signs of brake marks. There was a slight cuve and a tree! I have always assumed that someone had to have ran me off, because it was at 730 in the morning and I am a good driver and have a good record. Not knowing has bothered me.

I bought a 2009 Pontiac Vibe GT last year and it has accelerated on my wife while she was driving the car,but she was able to control it. A few days ago she and i were in the car going down a mountain and the car accelerated and I couldn’t stop it with the brakes. I had to put it in neutral and turn the key off before i could get it to stop, if another car had been in front of me i would have hit them and we could all have been killed or hurt really bad. I had to get the dealer to toll the vehicle. They are telling me they can’t find anything wrong with the car, but we know better than that.We have contacted GM and Pontiac and they act like they don’t want to do anything about it. I am afraid to drive the car again, it could kill someone if they don’t do something about it. I wish they would buy the car back and let us try and find something else to drive.

I own a 2005 toyota corolla sport with 74,000 miles on it. i bought it in to the dealership because it was eating up coolant. they told me i had a crack in the engine block and there was nothing they could do, so i would have to have it replaced for $4,000. They told me to call toyota directly because this was not a common thing. after numerous phone calls and stories that didnt match up they are not going to help me and they are saying that this is not part of the recall they are having on the ecm. they made this assumption that the bad ecm did not cause this without even looking at the car. they then proceded to tell me if i had gotten the car serviced everytime through toyota so the car had a track record of it being taken care of they could of helped me. now what person always goes to the dealership for every oil change or service.

i purchased my 2006 toyota avalon in january of 2010. it has been the subject of many recalls and now another one. i can’t trade it as i will suffer from the loss of value. i purchased it with only 31000 miles and figured,it was a TOYOTA i don’t know if toyota will begiving discounts on future purchases or should i just bite the bullet and get rid of this JINX.

I just read an article on the internet posted on the MSNBC site. This article dicusses the potential results of a Toyota settlement or the case in which plaintiffs win a class action against Toyota for depreciation of their vehicles. I am disappointed that legal experts predict that a settlement could result in plaintiffs receiving 300-1000 dollars for thier depreciation loss. What about the deceptive acts? Toyota executives should be prosecuted and ordered to take back vehicles that were sold after they became aware of their defects but failed to notify consumers who purchased their product.

I have concerns about the 2007 Toyota Camry LE that I own. Starting a 35MPH your ears will start to hurt if the rear windows are rolled down. Toyota says crack a front window and it will go away. It does not. I’m afraid to drive 70 and roll them down in fear it will pop an ear drum. I feel Toyota should refund part of the purchase price because you cannot drive the car with the windows rolled down. I say a refund of $4800.00 but that would be up to you or someone else for every Toyota Camry owner and a letter from Toyota sent to every 2007 Toyota Camry owner stating that driving the car with the windows down may cause damage to your ears. I have spoken with Toyota about this, they say until they are forced to do something about it, they will do nothing. I guess they do not care if people go deaf. I think you should take the 2007 Toyota Camry for a drive with the rear windows rolled down and then start a class action suit against them for all Camry owners.
Thom
According to media reports the Federal government fined Toyota millions of dollars; where is the money? Since federal employees and their employer failed to notify and protect consumers agianst the delliberate and blatant act of Toyota, should we pursue class action against those agencies? Toyota owners have lost their lives, been injured and loss thousands of dollars and we should be able to retrieve our losses from those responsible.
Thom
I saw on the news 9-15-2010 that Toyota has requested a California Federal court judge to dismiss the lawsuits regarding the acceleration claims. They base their claim on lack of evidence by the plaintiffs. Toyota has a right to vigorously defend their company however, their attitude toward consumers is blatant and non-caring. This is all about their profits.

My pontiac vibe has been at the dealers for three weeks because it was giving its self gas well I was driving it going up past 70 km without touching the gas peddle.it had already gone in for the two recalls.They have been trying part after part.Saying it might be compututer now.I told them I’m to affraid to drive the car without something in writting saying the problem is solved.They said they can’t do that.

My Toyota engine block cracked and left me stranded. Towed to Toyota and they had no explanation for a 2002 Toyota 4runner with only 76,000 miles in excellent conition on why this happened. They said a piston busted through the block. No explanation on why this happened and they said it was my fault. There was no warning at all. Just a loud pop and oil flying. I had the SUV serviced at Toyota all the time and in excellent contidion. I wonder if this could be part of the Toyota issues or what another post said about a oil line issue. I am not happy with Toyota telling me the only thing they could do was to repair for $7000.
Thom
Don’t forget to contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Federal Trade Commision and your Congressmen and Senators. Election time is fast approaching and I’m sure Toyota is spending big money to lobby our elected officials.
Thom
Has anyone noticed the absence of Toyota’s info commercials about fixing vehicles right the first time. I have not seen the info commercial in my area, since I raised the issue with their customer service. It’s probably because they know these vehicles are defective. I live in the state of Indiana and I saw a Toyota info commercial for the first time yesterday, August 2, 2010; It reminded Hoosiers that Toyota employs over 4000 people in the State of Indiana. I don’t work for Toyota and if they think because they contribute to the US economy they are allowed to endanger our lives and bend the laws, I hope our courts prove their lying, greedy corporation wrong.

Why is the public not hearing anymore about these accelator issues? My mother’s 2010 Toyota Corolla sped out of control at full speed into another car on 7/16/10 causing her and the other vehicle to roll over. It was not in the newspapers, not on the news. Granted, no one was seriously injured, thankfully, at least not physically. But makes us wonder how often this is really happening and being kept quiet?
Thom
Toyota has a serious problem with denials. Who, and how did Toyota get the reputation of being a fair and reputable company. I have learned that these people represent just the opposite. I also tried to trade my 2010 Toyota Camry XLE; what a shock! A New York grand jury is conducting a criminal investigation of Toyota over steering rods. I applaud the state of New York. Where is the Federal governement, NHTSA? We need help not lip service and false promises. Check the web for new information; lawsuits, defects and investigations of Toyota vehicles.

I purchased a 2009 Toyota Camry Hybrid new. The kelly Blue Book value of my fully loaded car which has only 14,000 miles on it has greatly decreased. My car is paid for and I would like to purchase another car. However since my car has been recalled once. I am unable to retrieve the amount on my car that would allow me to do so. All the publicity and recalls on toyotas has also been a hindrance to me.

I own a Toyota Tacoma 2010, bought November 2009, before the recalls became big news. I received a recall notice in March, 2010 and when I asked the dealership, they said do not remove the floormat, it was fastened down at the time I purchased with plastic ties. Later, I got a letter in the mail saying to remove the floormat; when I last went to the dealership (Jay Toyota of Columbus, Georgia ), they told me that I would be contacted later about what to do about the floormats. This is the least of my problems : while on the highway at 65 mph, on cruise control, if I am approaching an upgrade in the highway, the engine will accelerate normally, but if it is more than 5 -7 degrees, the engine kicks in and accelerates aggressively. I have to disengage the cruise and step on the brakes to slow back down. Now, when I take it in for a scheduled oil change, I am told they have so much business I will have to wait. So far, this has been two weeks and a half and still no oil change. I will do this myself or let Sears do it if I can. Meantime, I am canceling my extended warranty – what warranty ? It is not worth the money.
Thom
The auto industry and big oil is joined at the pocket. There is absolutely no difference in what BP did in the Gulf of Mexico and what Toyota did to the American consumer. Toyota failed to conduct business is an honorable and professional manner.Both companies made a deliberate and intentional act of deception (lies), neglect and capital greed which has effected peoples lives. However, they will spend billions to protect their profits and reputations with high profile law firms, lobbyist and media moguls who gain millions from their advertisements. I am stuck with a Toyota car but I will boycott toyota and tell everyone that I know not to purchase a Toyota product. Please tell all of your friends and neighbors. These multi-national corporations have our political system in their back pocket. Maybe we owe the Japanese government too much money to complain and expect positive results. Dealerships are also strong armed by Toyota to lie to customers. Toyota is in the drivers seat when it comes to dealers who are caught between the customer and the manufacturer. Toyota has enough capital to buy all of these vehicles back and possibly retain customers. Toyota’s conduct and business practice will be their demise.
Thom
I purchased a 2010 Toyota Camry XLE in October of 2009 and if I would have known about the acceleration issue I would not have purchased a Toyota product. Toyota was aware of this problem and failed to inform consumers. Toyota is not only greedy but they are liars. They keep airing info commercials to attract new buyers. I am having problems with my car and Toyota has refused to properly repair. If Toyota paid the NHTSA millions of dollars for failure to correct their problem in a timely manner; Who pays for the loss to consumers? This crap will be tied up in litigation for years and we still have these unreliable vehicles. Who is protecting the consumer?
Mehdi
I bought my Pontiac vibe on July.18.08 . On July10.2010 as I was trying to park it accelerate ,jumped over the curb and hit the building. After more than two weeks the vehicle is still with GM under investigation . Apparently the famous carpet was the cause of the problem. Regarding Mikes comment .He either has no Toyota or was never been involved in an accident with one of those vehicles .

Okay I have a 2009 Matrix…took my car in for service they removed my all weather mats (which I paid a premium price for) and now they’ve replaced them with lesser quality mats. I called toyota care to let them know what I now have is not what I paid for…their response was “all we’re required to do is replace the mat, we are not required to refund you your money”…my response Oh What a Feeling!

I bought a 2010 Camry in December 2009. The vehicle currently has 15878 miles on it. I normally buy a Honda every 5 years, but this time I decided to go with Toyota. On July 9, 2010, while I was on my way home from work and traveling 65 MPH down the highway, my car started to knock very loudly. I had it towed home and towed to the dealership the next morning. I really thought things were funny when the service man at the dealership told me that it sounded like a cam gear had broke. Sure enough after tearing the engine down, I was told that the cam gear had broke. Later in the week, my husband just happened to be in the neighborhood and made an unannounced visit to the dealership. He took pictures of the cam gear with his cell phone, then asked the mechanic how the dealership knew it was the cam gear before taking the engine apart, and how many of these cam gears the dealership had already replaced. The mechanic told my husband that he himself had replaced several of these cam gears. DOES THIS SOUND LIKE ANOTHER TOYOTA RECALL COMING??????? Toyota doesn’t want to replace the engine in my car, and I am not exactly sure how much internal damage this may have done to my engine. Now I have a vehicle that 2 recalls have been repaired on, as well as a broken cam gear. Talk about serious depreciation of a vehicle that I owe 27,000.00 on. GUESS I WON’T BE BUYING ANYMORE TOYOTA PRODUCTS.

I have a 2010 corolla with 9100 miles on it. Just to see what they would give me for a trade in on a prius now mind you I paid 19,500 for this and they after a year said they would give me 13,000. I feel really cheated. I would like to find out how to get in on this class action lawsuit. Toyota owes me. I also own a 2005 Tacoma with 47,000 miles on it. Paid over 31,000 would hate to see what they would give me for a trade in.

Have a 2006 RAV 4 4×4, not on recall, but began having problems after the first year. Lurches at stop signs, runs very rough at times, took it in several times after first year was made to feel stupid as every time I was told “there is nothing wrong with your car”. Car also “clunks” loudly after first start of the day if I do not wait a minute or two while acceleration goes down. Wanted to trade it in, but found out Blue Book value down $3000.00 since Toyota recalls. This will be our first and LAST Toyota. We are stuck!!

I have a 2009 Rav 4 purchased new–within 2 months I experienced 2 episodes of rapid acceleration. Fortunately, I was at a stop sign with my foot on the brake, the car suddenly started lurching, the enging was reving–it scared me half to death. I placed the car in park and turned the car off. It happened again a few days later. I took it to the dealer and was told the problem was not affecting the Rav-4. Within a week it was on the news that it also included the Rav-4. I did have the gas pedal fixed, but I’m not sure this is the problem. My concern is the loss of value for my 29,000.00 vehicle and will this happen again while i’m driving on a street or highway

i have a 2009 toyota corolla s. per kelly blue book decision to depreciate the value of my car i feel i am entitled to be compensated.

My 2010 Toyota Camry le was recalled. Problems started after recall fix- the once smooth driving car now has a jerky motion when accelerating, delayed reaction to use of accelerator, lurching on shifting. After seeing three different dealerships, Toyota agreed to put in a new gas pedal. The problem is lessened but still there. Anyone else having problems after the fix?

My 2009 Toyota Prius recently accelarated in a parking garage and is presently in a repar shop. I wrote to Toyota and told them that I was not going to make any further payments for a car that is a death trap and didn’t feel I could in good conscience sell that car to anyone. They were very nice and led us on to believe that they were going to do the right thing by us, however, they then sent us a letter saying they inspected the car, and there was nothing wrong with the car and that they were sorry for our trouble. The then threatened to reposses the car. We want to join a class action suit, but are unsure about how to do go about it. If anyone can help us, it would be much appreciated.
David
I bought a 2010 Prius in Decemebr 2009, and traded it in March of 2010. I paid $24,340, and received $19,110 for it in trade on a new car. I think Toyota owes me $2,000. The car was only 3 months old, with 4,000 miles on it. It’d had the brake recall done on it, as well as the 1,000 mile service, both at the dealer I bought it from. There was nothing wrong with the car. I emailed them, and they said no. I’m looking forward to participating in the class action law suit against them. Anybody know how I can get involved? If this was Honda, we wouldn’t be having this conversation. GM was also terrible at taking responsibility for their mistakes. See where it got them?
John
I was in a car accident last September, somone ran into the back of my car and totaled it out. I have never owned a Toyota but was told that they maintain a strong resale value. For that reason and the reputation of being a good car, I decided to buy a toyota last November 2009. Then early this year I found out that Toyota knew last year in September that this acceleration problem was a possibility with my car. Now I have a car I have had a few short months athat has lost considerable more value than under ordinary circumstances. To say the least I am not happy about this issue and feel I should be conpensated for the lost value of my car.
DON
WHEN WE BOUGHT OUR TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID OFF THE LOT IN SAVANNAH, GA 2008 BRAND NEW THE WINDOWS SAID 40MPG CITY AND 38 HIGHWAY….GUESS WHAT THEY SAY NOW 34CITY AND 32 HWY BUT NO ONE WILL HELP US. I STILL HAVE THIS FALSE ADVERTISEMENT FROM THE WINDOW IN THE GLOVEBOX. OTHERWISE WE’D OF BOUGHT A FORD FUSION. THE GAS MILEAGE IS WHAT SOLD US ON THIS PILE OF CRAP. THE GAS PEDAL ISSUE WAS ANOTHER THING ALSO. TOLD BY 2 DEALERSHIPS OUR CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ONLY TO HAVE THE 3TH TELL US IT WAS AND THEY DID THE RECALL WORK. SO DON’T GO TO BUFORD, GA TOYOTA OR CANTON, GA TOYOTA. THE ONE IN DULUTH,GA WAS THE ONLY HONEST ONE

I have a toyota corolla s. 2009;I try to sell it but the offer is only $9000.00 dls I read in your newspaper in the Money section in a legal notice about, a CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT against TOYOTA and the name of the attorneys name ,but I losted.How could I contact the Attorneys office who is handling this case.
Julius
We purchased a 2010 Camry end of October 2009 and because we traded in a 2007 which was not yet paid for, we are payiing a mint a month for this car. The dealership refuses to help us try to reduce payments even though the car is now near worthless. Thank goodness we have not had a problem as yet but still afraid to drive. We would love to join a lawsuit just to get back the lost value. How do we join one.?
Annamarie
I have a Lexis IS 250 2007. I have lost value in my car and can not refinance or trade it in. I am behind on my payments due to a hardship and they will not work with me at all. They keep saying they can’t modify my loan of 12.99% because they are an indirect lender. I have tried everything to get them to work with me and now my car is in threat of being repoed. I have had problems of acceleration also where it will set itself on cruise control with out me resetting it or all of a sudden accelerate when I have my foot on the break at a stop light. I just thought my car was possessed or something but now know it is a manufacturer problem.
andrew
i have an ’09 toyota corolla. i fear it has been devalued, and that i should be entitled to compensation.
Mark
I own a 2009 Pontiac Vibe and feel it should be added to any class action suit regarding Sudden acceleration and or loss of value related to the recall.I do not feel the recall repairs that are being done at this time will correct the problem and GM still has no fix available for the floor mat. I would like the manufacturer to buy my vehicle back or at least be compensated for the $4,000+ loss in value since the recall was announced.

I had my 2008 Toyota Avalon return to the dealer were I purchased it, because I am terrified to drive the Avalon any longer. I had an accident just before buying my Avalon due to a driver losing control on a wet cure and it takes all I can do just to drive as it was. I obtain my Toyota Avalon because of the safety rating and now all these recalls have come to light, plus I have notice my Avalon having problems with the electrical system, because my dash monitor lost half of it’s lighting and was blinking on and off of which I took back to Toyota and after complaining and a week later they finally fixed it. Also I have notice my gas pedal coming up much slower then normal. Even after then saying they will fix it, I just can not drive a car that may work or may not. I can not depend on them to fix this problem, because there would always be a doubt that it was fixed.
