| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On 5/30/07 i picked up a 2007 toyota corolla ce..at the time of the test drive i did not notice this safety issue & perhaps it was due to the distraction of the sales person's constant talking.. since i am short i need to move the seat up forward to be comfortable when driving & to be able to see clearly, but once i move the seat forward & tilt the steering wheel so that i can drive comfortably & safely i cannot see all of the speedometer readings.. on the left i can see 0-20 mph & on the right i can see 90-110 mph anything in between is not at eye level & i cannot see the speedometer readings.. when i drive in order to see my speed i need to take my eyes off the road look down & under the top part of the steering wheel.. obviously this is extremely dangerous when doing 70 mph on a parkway which i needed to do & i consider it to be a safety issue with this toyota.. i cannot believe that toyota actually put this out on the market. how did this vehicle pass safety tests ? also, on this exact same vehicle i have filed a complaint on the tires odi # 10200011 which i am still having a serious safety problem with.. has toyota sacrificed consumer safety for production & income ? this is not my first new car but it has become a horrific experience for me and i am afraid that these vehicle problems will become my statistic.. communications with toyota have been unsuccessful.. *tr |
