ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
MY 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA ENGINE STALLED. I STARTED THE ENGINE AND WENT BACK INSIDE THE HOUSE AND WHEN I RETURNED TO THE CAR I NOTICED THE ENGINE WAS OFF (WHICH WAS BIZARRE BECAUSE I KNEW I HAD TURNED IT ON). OF COURSE THE RADIO WAS STILL ON. SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START IT EITHER RESULTED IN THE CAR NOT STARTING AND IN OTHER INSTANCES IT WOULD START FOR A SECOND AND THEN SHUT OFF. I HAD TO BORROW MY HUSBAND'S CAR FOR THE DAY. WHEN I GOT HOME, MY HUSBAND AND I TRIED STARTING THE ENGINE AGAIN AND REALIZED THAT IT WAS STALLING, ALSO THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT WAS ON. MY HUSBAND TOLD ME HE READ AN ARTICLE RECENTLY ABOUT COROLLAS AND MATRIX PROBLEMS SO HE WENT BACK AND READ THE ARTICLE ONLINE AND REALIZED THAT THIS WAS THE SAME ISSUES MY CAR WAS EXPERIENCING. I ALSO CHECKED THE COROLLA MANUAL AND SAW THAT THE ENGINE LIGHT SAYS TAKE THE CAR TO TOYOTA IMMEDIATELY. *TR

STEERING
I PURCHASED A 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA IN JUNE OF 2008. UP UNTIL APPROXIMATELY THE FALL OF 2009, IT APPEARED TO BE DRIVING SATISFACTORILY. HOWEVER, AFTER THAT TIME, AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE CAR "DRIFTS" ALMOST EACH AND EVERYTIME THIS HAPPENS, I OPEN MY WINDOW TO SEE IF IT IS WINDY, BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS BEING BLOWN BY THE WIND. MY SON SOMETIMES DRIVES MY CAR AND I ASKED HIM IF HE EXPERIENCED THIS, AND HE SAID "YES", AND IT ALWAYS ATTRIBUTES IT TO THE WIND, HOWEVER, IT IS NOT ALWAYS WINDY. IT FEELS LIKE THERE IS A SLIGHT LACK OF CONTROL. NEEDLESS TO SAY, IT IS VERY UNNERVING. I WOULD SAY THAT IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS I NOTICE THIS PROBLEM 3 TIMES A WEEK. WHEN GOOGLING ABOUT THE CURRENT TOYOTA PROBLEMS, I CAME ACROSS A WRITE UP REGARDING "TOYOTA STEERING PROBLEMS". THEN, I KNEW I WASN'T JUST IMAGINING WHAT I HAD EXPERIENCED. THEREFORE, I AM HEREBY VOICING MY COMPLAINT. *TR

STEERING
WE PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA LESS THAN A MONTH AGO FROM A TEXAS DEALER IN NORTH HOUSTON. IMMEDIATELY UPON DRIVING HOME WE NOTICED A "MEANDERING" OF THE FRONT END, DIFFICULTY IN KEEPING THE CAR IN ITS LANE AT HIGH SPEEDS. IT FELT LIKE DRIVING A CAR DURING A WINDY DAY. AS IT WAS A WINDY DAY WE THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT. IT BEHAVED AS YOU WOULD EXPECT AT HIGH SPEEDS, ON THE FREEWAY, ON A WINDY DAY. THE PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE IS THAT IT NEEDS CONSTANT CORRECTION TO MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT PATH WHILE STEERING; CONSTANT SMALL ADJUSTMENTS TO KEEP IT IN ITS LANE. THE PROBLEM IS EXACERBATED AT HIGH SPEEDS AS SMALL ADJUSTMENTS SEEM TO BE AMPLIFIED. AND A SMALL ADJUSTMENT TO THE RIGHT FOR EXAMPLE, WHILE THE VEHICLE MEANDERS TO THE RIGHT, CREATES AN EXAGGERATED MOVEMENT TO THE RIGHT; KIND OF A DOUBLING OF THE EVENT. SO IF YOU ARE CORRECTING MOVEMENT TO THE LEFT, BY ADJUSTING TO THE RIGHT, AND THE MECHANICAL PROBLEM KICKS IN WITH MORE RIGHT MOVEMENT, YOU GET A BIG SHIFT IN THE VEHICLE, THE NEED TO MAINTAIN ATTENTION TO THE STEERING IS CONSTANT. YOUR HANDS ARE ALWAYS AT THE 10 O'CLOCK, 2 O'CLOCK POSITION, AND ALWAYS MAKING CORRECTIONS TO THE FRONT END MEANDERING. AT HIGH SPEEDS IT IS MORE PROBLEMATIC BECAUSE THE MECHANICAL REACTIONS GET AMPLIFIED AT HIGH SPEEDS. AT LOW SPEEDS THE PROBLEM EXISTS, YOU STILL HAVE TO REACT, BUT YOU HAVE MORE REACTION TIME BEFORE THE VEHICLE MOVES TO AN UNCOMFORTABLE POSITION WITHIN THE LANE. WHERE THIS EVENT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IS ON TWO LANE ROADS WITH HIGH SPEED LIMITS. TWO LANE ROADS IN TEXAS CAN BE NARROW WITH SMALL SHOULDERS. WHEN THE VEHICLE MEANDERS, YOU PULL TO THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC OR NARROW SHOULDERS ON THE TWO LANE HIGHWAYS, MARGIN OF ERROR IS MUCH SMALLER THAN ON CITY FREEWAYS AND STREETS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA HAD A FAILED ECM WHICH CAUSED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME AND STALL THE ENGINE. IN ADDITION, MY VEHICLE HAD HIGH RPM AND SHIFTING GEAR PROBLEMS AS WELL. THE FAILED ECM ISSUE WAS DISCOVERED BY A SPECIFIC CODE FOR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY WERE CERTAINLY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM HOWEVER TOLD ME THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS TO RECALL THE ISSUE. I CALLED TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY INFORMED SINCE MY MILEAGE WAS 95,000 AND THE WARRANTY WOULD ONLY COVER UP TO 80,000 MILES. I ENDED UP GETTING THE ECM REPLACED FOR ABOUT $800 AT CARMAX WHICH WAS $700 CHEAPER THAN WHAT TOYOTA WANTED TO CHARGE. I CALLED TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS AGAIN TO COMPLAIN AND WAS LEFT WITH NO RESOLUTION. AFTER MY RESEARCH ONLINE, THIS WAS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM TO TOYOTA HOWEVER THEY FAILED TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. THIS ISSUE OCCURRED TO MANY VEHICLES AS LOW AS 35000 MILES UNDER WARRANTY AND STILL CONTINUE TO OCCUR OUT OF WARRANTY OVER 80000 MILES. I FEEL IF THEY HAD A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE, I WOULD HAVE NEVER HAD THESE ISSUES WITH MY CAR BEING STALLED AND HAVING TO REPLACE THE ECM. I RECENTLY READ AN ARTICLE IN NEWS ABOUT YOUR INVOLVEMENT IN REGARDS TO INVESTIGATION OF THIS ISSUE AND HOPE TOYOTA CAN RECOGNIZE TO ACCEPT THIS FAILED RECALL. I HAVE ALSO FOUND MANY OTHER TOYOTA CUSTOMERS WHO ARE ALL OVER THE INTERNET SHARING SIMILAR FEEDBACK. HTTP://WWW.TOYOTANATION.COM/FORUM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=201631 I AM HOPING THAT YOUR TEAM CAN HOLD TOYOTA ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS POOR DECISION OF NOT TO RECALL THIS ISSUE. PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR ANY FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS IN REGARDS TO THIS ISSUE AT [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING ALONG THE INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 60-65 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY TURNED OFF: ALL INDICATORS IN THE DASHBOARD TURNED OFF/WENT TO ZERO AND THERE WAS NO WAY OF ACCELERATING. I HAD TO SOMEHOW PULL OVER TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. WHEN FINALLY ON THE SIDE LANE THE ENGINE JUST TURNED BACK ON. MY HUSBAND WOULD NOT BELIEVE THIS BUT WE NOW FOUND AN ARTICLE ON WWW.SPIEGEL.DE THAT RELATED TO THIS. HENCE MY REPORTING IT NOW. *TR

STEERING
AT THIS POINT, I WOULDN'T NECESSARILY CLASSIFY IT AS A DEFECT, BUT AS I HAVE READ WITH REGARDS TO OTHER OWNERS, MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA LE (WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) ALSO EXHIBITS "LIGHT" STEERING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. DRIVERS REALLY HAVE TO PAY CONSTANT CLOSE ATTENTION WHENEVER DRIVING ABOVE 45 MPH IN ORDER TO AVOID MOVING OR "WANDERING" OUT OF YOUR LANE WITH THE SLIGHTEST MOVEMENT OF THE STEERING WHEEL. IN OTHER WORDS, THE STEERING ON THIS AUTOMOBILE IS EXTREMELY SENSITIVE, ESPECIALLY ABOVE 45 MPH. AS, SUCH, WHENEVER I AM DRIVING MORE THAN TWO HOURS AT A TIME, I GET EXTREMELY FATIGUED. IN MY OPINION, A VARIABLE ASSIST POWER STEERING SYSTEM, BASED ON VEHICLE SPEED, WOULD HAVE BEEN A MORE APPROPRIATE TYPE OF POWER STEERING SYSTEM TO ENGINEER INTO THIS CAR. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DONE SINCE THIS AUTOMOBILE UTILIZES AN ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM IN PLACE OF THE TYPICAL HYDRAULIC SYSTEM. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I OWNED A TOYOTA COROLLA 2007 AND THE ENGINE STALLED ONCE. IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS GETTING OFF A HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE TOOK A 180 DEGREE TURN ON THE RAMP. THANK GOD THAT THERE WAS NO CAR BEHIND ME. I THOUGHT IT DID SOMETHING WRONG TO CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STALL. THIS WEEK I READ THE NEWS THAT TOYOTA ADMITTED THAT THERE MAY BE A ENGINE DEFECT. I HOPE THAT TOYOTA IS TAKING STEP TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON FRIDAY, MARCH 12, 2010, I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA HOME ON MY LUNCH HOUR AND MY CAR STALLED TWICE ON A SHARP TURN. I NEARLY LOST CONTROL ON THE TURN BECAUSE THE STEERING BECAME (QUITE UNEXPECTEDLY) VERY DIFFICULT. AT FIRST I DIDN'T REALIZE THE CAR HAD STALLED, CAUSING THE STEERING PROBLEM. THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME THE CAR STALLED. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID IT COULD BE A COMPUTER PROBLEM, BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, ETC., AND THEY'D RUN DIAGNOSTICS ON IT. AFTER BEING THERE OVER FOUR HOURS, ALL THEY SAID WAS THAT THE BATTERY WAS "MARGINAL" BUT IT TOOK A CHARGE. I ASKED ABOUT PUTTING IN A NEW BATTERY AND THE SERVICE REP SAID HE DIDN'T WANT TO DO THAT. I WASN'T CHARGED FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC OR BATTERY CHARGE. I BELIEVE, NOW THAT I'VE HEARD ABOUT THE STALL ISSUE TODAY IN THE NEWS, THAT THIS PROBLEM IS WHY I WASN'T CHARGED FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST; HOWEVER, I WAS NOT INFORMED THERE HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS WITH STALLING. *TR

STEERING
I JUST BOUGHT A NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. UPON TAKING IT UP TO HIGHWAY SPEED THE FIRST TIME I NOTED A "DRIFTING" IN THE STEERING THAT SEEMED UNUSUAL (CAR RIDES FINE FOR A WHILE THEN DRIFTS RIGHT OR LEFT CAUSING YOU TO OVER STEER IT BACK). I DROVE IT FOR THE REST OF THE DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND AM CERTAIN THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE STEERING. THE DEALER SAID IT IS THE NEW ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING BUT IT SURE SEEMS UNSTEADY. SOMETHING IS WRONG AND THESE CARS SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THERE WAS NO WARNING. DRIVE CAR 400 MILES PER WEEK. ONE DAY I DROVE CAR TO COMMUTER PARKING LOT WITH NO PROBLEM, THAT EVENING IT STARTED FINE THEN STALLED WHEN I PUT IT IN GEAR. TOOK A WHILE TO START THE 2ND TIME AND STALLED AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED 4 TIMES THEN I HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER. DEALER SAID THE ENGINE COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WITH NO REAL EXPLANATION. I EVEN ASKED TO SPEAK TO THE MECHANIC WHO COULD NOT PROVIDE AN EXPLANATION OTHER THAN IT HAPPENS. COMPUTER WAS REPLACED AND THE CAR RUNS FINE. THEY SAID IT WAS ONLY WARRANTIED FOR 1 YEAR. AS I WAS AWAY FROM HOME I HAD TO RENT A CAR FOR 2 DAYS WHILE THEY MADE THE REPAIRS. *TR

STEERING, TIRES
THE NEXT DAY I DROVE THE 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA DOWN THE STREET AND THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK EXTREMELY BADLY. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO PRECISION TOYOTA AND ASKED THEM IF IT WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THE MECHANICS EXPLAINED THE TOYOTA COROLLA VEHICLES CANNOT BE ALIGNED AND TO GO ON MY MERRY WAY. I THEN CONTINUED DRIVING THE TOYOTA COROLLA AND MADE SEVERAL VISITS TO BRAKE MASTERS AND GOODYEAR TIRE IN PHOENIX AZ TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK SO BADLY. BRAKE MASTERS AND GOODYEAR TIRE FAILED TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. ONCE THE VEHICLE ACCRUED 10,000 MILES THE TIRES WERE BALD! I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO PRECISION TOYOTA AND I GOT THE RUN AROUND. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A PERSON NEVER ROTATES THEIR TIRES. THE TIRES WERE ROTATED AT LEAST 4 TIMES DURING THIS TIME PERIOD AT GOODYEAR TIRES LOCATED IN PHOENIX AZ. I THEN REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES WITH A NEW SET. DURING THIS TIME PERIOD THE STEERING WHEEL CONTINUED TO SHAKE. I THEN REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES ON THE VEHICLE ONCE AGAIN. I THEN WENT BACK TO PRECISION TOYOTA FOR HELP. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT PRECISION TOYOTA TOLD ME TO NEVER RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP OR HE WOULD CALL THE POLICE AND HAVE ME ESCORTED OFF THE LOT. I DROVE AWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP VERY CALMLY. I REMEMBER THIS DAY VERY CLEARLY. I THEN WENT HOME AND FILED A FORMAL COMPLAINT WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU IN TUCSON AZ AGAINST PRECISION TOYOTA FOR FAILING TO FIX MY VEHICLE. PRECISION TOYOTA RESPONDED TO THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU THAT I HAD TRIED TO RUN OVER A SALES ASSOCIATE IN THE DEALERSHIP'S PARKING LOT AND THAT IS WHY THEY REFUSE TO FIX MY CAR. THE 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO DRIVE AND KEEP ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE EXTREME STEERING PROBLEM. ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 I TOOK THE 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA TO RIGHT TOYOTA LOCATED AT: 7701 E FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT BLVD SCOT. *TR
