While driving to work i noted a popping sound which seemed to be coming from my cigarette lighter. ( sounded like the pop sound when the lighter is ready for use) however i did not push in the lighter to use it, i just ignored the sound, but did hear it one more time before arriving at my destination, parking and leaving my vehicle. Thank god i had forgot my military id and had to return to my vehicle within a few minutes. When i arrived at my vehicle there were flames shooting up from inside my vehicle. I quickly ran back to my office and with the assistance of several other co workers, we extinguished the fire using fire extinguishers. After closer examination of the fires location, i can clearly see that the fire started in the same area of the cigarette lighter, behind the console.

Due to the faulty electrical wiring(?) driving becomes extremely hazardous as the result of the left/right turn signals not working, which causes cars driving behind me to be oblivious of my intentions to turn. Also, although less dangerous but just as aggravating, is the interior lights failure to work; making the cumbersome and inconvenient chore of carrying around a flashlight a necessity.

The rear lights (regular rear lights and brake lights) on my 1995 toyota corolla fail constantly and intermittently. When i replace the bulb(s), the problem is back within days. Actually, i do not even know if they have ever all worked for more than minutes! Sometimes they start working again by themselves. I have given up trying to keep all four light bulbs functioning. Many other corollas of the same year have the same problem. In fact, since i have been driving the car (my wife bought it brand new (cecilia kipp - her name at the time of purchase) and drove it until the past year), i have yet to see a corolla that seems to have been manufactured (looks the same) that has the rear lights working. This seems to be a problem that no one wants to address.*ak

The driver's side airbag deployed in a low speed front end collision and caught my clothing and me one fire, causing second degree burns across my chest. I now know that there were so many complaints of drivers catching on fire from airbag deployment in 1995 toyota corollas that there was a five month investigation of the problem in 1997 (pe97-017) which did not result in a recall. I am shocked that you did not require toyota to recall airbags that catch drivers on fire. I hope that you re-open the investigation and order toyota to recall these faulty products.*ak

My 1995 toyota corolla has a "pin-hole in the gas tank" necessitating the whole tank be replaced. The location of the hole is directly over the exhaust pipe, making the car unsafe due to fire danger. The toyota repair dept. Seems unclear if this is caused by a defect in the tank, a road hazard or internal corrosion. If this is a manufacturer's defect, you should warn other owners of this car, so there are no vehicle fires. Should you wish to inspect this vehicle, it is on site at toyota of wilmington 5640 market st. Wilm nc 28405.

The tail lights (stop lights) on my 1995 toyota corolla fail constantly and intermittently. When i replace the bulb(s), the problem is back within weeks. Sometimes they start working again by themselves. I have given up trying to keep all four light bulbs functioning. Sometimes when i press the brake pedal, the lights on the dashboard flicker. Many other corollas of the same year have the same problem. Most of the 95 corollas i see on the road have at least one non-functioning bulb. When i see a 95 corolla on the road, i watch it and wait for the brake lights to come on - almost always at least one bulb is non-functioning. I have two engineering degrees and i can not fix the problem. I asked the toyota dealer to check for recalls for this problem during my last service, and they ignored my question. From what i can tell, the heat from the bulb causes a high resistance between the bulb and the socket. That is why i can take the bulb out, and put the same bulb back in and it starts working again. This is a serious safety concern. Once a car pulled along side of me and told me that all four bulbs were not functioning, and that only the rear window light was operating. I am concerned that someday either myself or someone else in a 95 corolla may get into a rear-end collision.

I was attempting to put my [xxx] old child into her carseat. She was wearing a winter coat so i went to adjust the shoulder straps to fit her more comfortably. I pulled on the appropriate strap at the bottom of the carseat which states to "pull to loosen straps". As i did this, i tugged on the left shoulder strap to loosen and the entire strap came undone from the back of the metal clip that held it in place. This is located in the back of the carseat. I have never had this occur in the past. We removed the carseat from my vehicle and we strongly believe this carseat and the straps were secured correctly to begin with. The metal clip that holds the shoulder straps has a large gap that the strap slides onto. We feel this gap is larger than it should be or this would not have happened. I purchased the carseat from the rockland county sheriff's department at their car seat safety check during the summer of this year. I contacted them and they put me in touch with [xxx] ([xxx]) who is the coordinator of the child safety seat coalition. She now has this carseat in her possession. She examined the metal clip and stated she felt the "gap" that the strap hooks into was larger than any other she has seen. She has been in touch with you and gave me your website and told me to contact you about this problem. I am relieved that the straps released from the metal clip when i was parked and not when i was involved in a collision. My husband and i are very upset that this occurred at all and wonder if it was this easy for the strap to come off - then what would have happened in an accident. We contacted wendy schindler and now your organization to prevent a child from being injured in an accident. Please contact me w/any additional questions. Thank you. *ak parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.S.C. 552(b)(6).

Smell of gasoline. Found a stream of gasoline squirting from a crack in the gas tank on to the exhaust pipe heat barrier. Upon examination of tank found a defect in the gas tank manufacturing process. It looked like during the stamping of the sheet metal, a portion of the metal folded over causing a weaken area of about 1 inch where the metal is bent over on itself. I replaced the defective gas tank with a new one purchased from toyota and it lasted about 18 months before it experienced the same problem. There is a problem seeing this defect in the new tank because of the undercoating applied.I consider this to be a hazardous defect because the leak occurs just above the the exhaust pipe radiant heat sheild.

Gas tank seam split causing fuel to not drip but stream down onto exhuast pipe , car has been driven approximantly 30-40 miles aday under this circumstance until found, it a wonder that the vehicle did not catch fire or explode, was unawear of this problem until notice of gas on driveway, had been smelling gas ever since the motor was replaced in the vehicle at 43,000 at which point the motor had a thrown rod and was replaced by dealer, during the replacement the host that was used to replace motor leaked causing the new motor to fall into the car , thus crushing the oil pan, not sure if that incident strained the gas lines causing the seam to split in gas tank but it sure does seem odd that the tank is spilt at only 59,000 miles, toyota claims that there is a 2 week wait peroid on the tank for this vehicle quote " there on national backorder" which also makes me think that others have had a simliar problem with the gas tank leaking in this vehicle, also please note that i was informed by the ohio epa station that most 90-95 corrollas failed the epa gude lines on one test our vehicle failed the hydrocarbon which the max was 220 and this vehicle was 858 , thats a considerable difference i have my wife and kids in this vehcile throuhout the day and thinking that they could have been seriuosly injured or killed by the gas leak concerns me very much.
