TAKATA RECALL - I TOOK MY CAR TO MAKE THE LABOR BECAUSE THE TAKATA RECALL AND FEW MONTH LATER THE LIGHT OF THE AIR BAG IN THE FRONT PANEL IS ON (RED). THEN I TAKE MY OTHER CAR (THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR EXCEPT FOR THE COLOR) AND HAPPEN THE SAME THING. TODAY BOTH CARS HAVE THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON. NO BODY HAVE FOUND WHY, BUT IT WAS AFTER THE LABOR BECAUSE OF THE RECALL OF THE AIRBAGS. I DONT REMEMBER RIGHT NOW THE SPECIFIC DATE.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I ONLY HAVE 44,000 MILES ON MY 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA AND THE AIR COMPRESSOR WENT OUT. I HAVE READ THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED IN NUMEROUS COROLLAS FROM THE SAME YEAR. I BELIEVE THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AND RECALLED OR I WILL SELL MY CAR AND NEVER BUY A TOYOTA AGAIN. I WILL ALSO POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA ABOUT TOYOTA'S NEGLIGENCE AND MISTREATMENT OF CUSTOMERS. I HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER THAT NEEDS AIR CONDITIONING, SO I AM VERY UPSET OVER THIS ISSUE. IT IS NOT JUST AN "INCONVIENENCE" AS IT WAS CALLED BY TOYOTA'S "CUSTOMER SERVICE". PLEASE SORT THIS ISSUE. *TR

I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 2005 BRAND NEW ZERO MILEAGES ON IT. IT IS TOYOTA COROLLA 2005. MY ORIGINAL COLOR OF THE CAR HOOD IS COMING OUT. IT STARTS COMING OFF. I THINK IT HAD PAINT DEFECT. PAINT IS COMING OFF AND THE CART HOOD HAS BEEN ROUGH AT ALL SIDES. THE ORIGINAL COLOR IS GRAY AND NOW LOOKS AT SCRAPPING AT ALL THE CAR HOOD. I DON'T KNOW WHAT DO TO BECAUSE IT LOOKS UGLY AND I NEVER WANTED MY CAR TO BE LIKE THIS. THE VEHICLE IT'S IN NORMAL FUNCTION AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN IN HOUSE CARPORT.

AIR BAGS, SUSPENSION
TAKATA RECALL: THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS REPLACED UNDER A RECALL SEVERAL YEARS AGO. THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS NOW ON. ALSO, THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARING HAS BEEN REPLACED AT LEAST SIX TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN DECEMBER, 2008. THE FIRST TWO OR THREE WERE REPLACED WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, BUT I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE SAME RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARING ANOTHER THREE TO FOUR TIMES THEREAFTER AT MY OWN EXPENSE. THE LAST TIME I HAD TO REPLACE THE WHEEL BEARING WAS IN DECEMBER, 2016, WHILE ON VACATION. IT SEEMS THE PROBLEM JUST HASN'T BEEN PERMANENTLY SOLVED. SO FRUSTRATING AND EXPENSIVE FOR ANOTHER WONDERFUL VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL MY SON HIT BY INFLATED DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG ON 18TH DEC2014 AT UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON RESULTED DUE TO PASSENGER SIDE TIRE HIT THE CURB RIGHT SIDE OF ROAD CURB . THIS MAY HAPPEN DUE TO PASSENGER SIDE FRONT TIRE BLEW AFTER HITTING THE CURB ( GUESS) BECAUSE CAR PASSENGER END STRUT TOUCHED THE CURB AND GOT DAMAGED . IT ALSO DAMAGED THE FIRE WALL .

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
CAR APPEARED TO BE RUNNING FINE. WENT TO GET A SMOG, " CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT ON, AS A RESULT I FAILED SMOG. CODE REVEALED WAS PO741( TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH CIRCUIT PERFORMANCE OR STUCK OFF) UPON VEHICLE INSPECTION FROM CANAL TRANSMISSION IN EL CAJON, CA. OWNER REVEALED THAT HE HAD COME ACROSS THIS PROBLEM ABOUT 10 TIMES WITH TOYOTA COROLLAS. HE REVEALED THAT EACH TIME HE TRIED TO FIX TORQUE CONVERTER, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD STILL REMAIN WITH SAME CODE AFTER REPAIR. HE SAID THEY FINALLY REALIZED THAT IT WAS AN ECM ISSUE AND NOT A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. IN 2010 TOYOTA DID A RECALL ON ECM. SO WHAT DO I DO? CODE IS PREVENTING ME FROM GETTING A SMOG, YET WHEN REPAIR OF TORQUE CONVERTER ATTEMPTED CHECK ENGINE CODE PO741 STILL REMAINS. I CONTACTED DEALER REGARDING CODE, THEY SCANNED CAR, THE SAME CODE APPEARED. ALL THEY OFFERED WAS 400 TO TEAR INTO TRANSMISSION TO SEE IF THEY COULD FIND ISSUE. SO IN CLOSING , WE HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REVEALING CODE P0741; THAT WHEN REPAIRS ATTEMPTED ,REPAIR CANT SEEM TO BE FIXED SATISFACTORILY TO CLEAR THE LIGHT, BECAUSE THROUGH EXPERIENCE OF TRANSMISSION SHOP IT IS A FAULTY CODE AND THE REAL PROBLEM LIES WITHIN THE ECM, WHICH WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED DURING TOYOTA RECALL. SO WHAT DO I DO? I NEED MY CAR SMOGGED TO DRIVE.WHAT OTHER PROBLEMS WILL THE ECM CREATE IN THE FUTURE? TOYOTA NEEDS TO RECALL ECM AGAIN FOR THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM AND OTHER PROBLEMS THAT MAY BE CREATED DUE TO THE FAULT Y ECM.
