I OWN A 2008 TOYOTA COROLLA CE. WHEN I DRIVE AND THEN STOP AND OR GO IN REVERSE MY CAR MAKES A WEIRD NOISE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER IT WAS PURCHASED FROM THREE TIMES AND THEY SAY IT'S THE BRAKE PADS SLIDING WHEN YOU USE THE BRAKE. THEY SAY THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO REPAIR IT. THEY SAY IF THEY REPLACE THE BRAKES THE NOISE WILL RETURN ONCE I USE THE BRAKES. THEY SAY WHEN THE BRAKES ARE USED THE BRAKE PAD SLIDES FORWARD OR REVERSE DEPENDING ON DIRECTION OF TRAVEL. I CALL ANOTHER TOYOTA DEALER IN MY AREA AND THEY TOLD ME THE SAME THING. *TR

STEERING
BOUGHT 2010 COROLLA ON 11/21/09 WITH 6 MILES. UPON DRIVING HOME, I NOTICED THE STEERING WHEEL IS NOT CENTERED, BUT SLIGHTLY CROOKED TO THE LEFT. WHEN WE HOP INTO THE FWY AND DOING 50MPH+, THE VEHICLE STARTS TO DRIFT LEFT AND RIGHT. I HAD TO MAKE SMALL CORRECTIONS BY STEERING IT LEFT AND RIGHT TO MAKE THE CAR DRIVES STRAIGHT. MY GIRLFRIEND DROVE THE VEHICLE YESTERDAY AND UPON MAKING A LEFT CURVE ON THE FREEWAY DOING 60MPH, THE STEERING WAS NOT FULLY RESPONSIVE. SHE VEERED ONE LANE TO THE RIGHT INSTEAD! WE WERE LUCKY THAT THE FWY WAS EMPTY AT THAT MOMENT. I FEEL THAT THERE IS A STEERING PROBLEM THAT MAKES THIS VEHICLE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WITH MY CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED AND MY CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE BEYOND THE SPEED THAT I HAD SET. I DISENGAGED THE CRUISE CONTROL BUT THAT DID NOT SLOW THE CAR DOWN. NEXT, I TRIED BRAKING, WHICH SLOWED THE CAR DOWN A LITTLE, THOUGH I NEEDED TO USE AN UNUSUALLY LARGE AMOUNT OF FORCE TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL DOWN. ONCE I RELEASED THE BRAKE, THE CAR BEGAN TO SPEED UP AGAIN. I MADE REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO BRAKE BUT, EVENTUALLY, THE BRAKE PEDAL LOCKED UP. AT THIS POINT, I PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE REVVED (I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE MAXIMUM RPM WAS, BUT I KNOW IT WAS WELL ABOVE NORMAL DRIVING RPM). I PULLED OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. I TRIED TURNING THE IGNITION ON (MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL) BUT THE ENGINE REVVED UP SO I IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE CAR OFF. OVER THE NEXT 30 MINUTES, I TRIED TURNING THE CAR ON A FEW MORE TIMES WITH THE SAME RESULT. AFTER I HAD BEEN WAITING FOR 1-1.5 HOURS, A TOW TRUCK ARRIVED. THE DRIVER TURNED THE IGNITION ON AND THE CAR STARTED NORMALLY; SOMEHOW THE PROBLEM HAD RESOLVED ITSELF SO WE WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WE PURCHASED OUR 2007 COROLLA LE BRAND NEW. WE REALIZED THAT AFTER PARKING AND RESTARTING THE CAR AND COMMENCING TO DRIVE, A LOUD "CLICK" WAS HEARD FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR. WE BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE CLICKING NOISE WAS NORMAL AND IS MENTIONED IN THE MANUAL. I INFORMED THEM THAT OUR PREVIOUS COROLLA NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM AND THEY SAID NOTHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. IF I WANTED, A NEW COMPUTER WOULD HAVE TO BE INSTALLED BUT THE WAITING TIME WAS EXTENSIVE. I REFUSED THIS EXPLANATION AND NOTHING WAS DONE. IN ADDITION, THE CAR SURGES WHEN THE AIR CON OR DEFROSTER IS ON BUT AGAIN, THE DEALER "FOUND NOTHING". RECENTLY, ONE OF THE BELTS WAS SQUEAKING AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. IN ADDITION, AN OIL CHANGE AND BUILD-UP ON THE BATTERY REMOVED. THE COST - OVER $320. I TOLD THE DEALER OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WE PURCHASED AND THEY TOLD ME NOTHING WAS COVERED. WE FEEL THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS USELESS AND THE COROLLA DEALER JUST LOOKING TO MAKE MONEY. THESE INCIDENTS STARTED IN 2007 AND CONTINUED TO 2009. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS DRIVING ALONG A RESIDENTIAL STREET (35 MPH) AND I WAS STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED, I BEGAN ACCELERATING UPHILL. ONCE I REACHED MY DESIRED SPEED OF 35 MPH, I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR BUT THE CAR CONTINUED TO INCREASE IN SPEED (I WAS STILL TRAVELING UPHILL). I IMMEDIATELY PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL, PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND TURNED THE IGNITION OFF. FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER, I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY REVVED UP, ALTHOUGH MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE ACCELERATOR; BASED ON THE SOUND OF THE ENGINE, I WOULD ESTIMATE THAT IT SURPASSED 4000 RPM. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND 15 MINUTES LATER I TURNED THE CAR ON ONLY TO MEET WITH THE SAME RESULTS. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER ARRIVED, HE NOTICED THAT THE THROTTLE VALVE WAS STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION. HE CLOSED THE THROTTLE AND THIS FIXED THE PROBLEM. A FEW DAYS LATER, I BROUGHT THE CAR TO A TOYOTA DEALER. THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A KINK IN THE THROTTLE CABLE THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED IT TO GET STUCK. HOWEVER, THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO PROVIDE A DEFINITIVE DIAGNOSIS BECAUSE THE PROBLEM WAS NOT REPEATABLE AND, THEREFORE, DID NOT REPLACE THE CABLE. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 6.5 YEARS AND THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED TWICE (THE OTHER TIME WAS IN EARLY 2008 AND OCCURRED ON A HIGHWAY). IN LIGHT OF RECENT MEDIA REPORTS ON ACCELERATION PROBLEMS IN TOYOTAS, I MUST NOTE THAT I HAVE THE ORIGINAL FLOOR MATS AND THAT THEY ARE, AND ALWAYS HAVE BEEN, PROPERLY SECURED IN PLACE. I DID NOT NOTICE WHETHER OR NOT THE ACCELERATOR WAS STUCK, BUT I WAS ONLY TRAVELING 35 MPH, SO THE ACCELERATOR WAS NOT DEPRESSED ENOUGH TO GET CAUGHT UNDER THE FLOOR MAT. THE PARTS ARE STILL AVAILABLE SINCE I DID NOT REPLACE THE CABLE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2009, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN MY 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA LE. ONCE THE LIGHT CAME ON, THE CAR HAD A "HARD SHIFT". ON FRIDAY OCTOBER 30, 2009, I TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND HAD THE DIAGNOSTICS RUN, WHICH INDICATED A FAULTY P2716 PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID "D" ELECTRICAL. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE THE COMPUTER REPLACED ($900) AND THAT THE CAR COULD SHUT OFF ON ME WHILE IN OPERATION IF I DID NOT. AFTER I HAD IT REPLACED, I LOOKED IT UP ON THE INTERNET. TURNS OUT THAT TOYOTA WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BASED ON A 9/2006 SERVICE BULLETIN, BUT CHOSE TO NOT ISSUE A RECALL. I HAVE A 110 MILE ROUND TRIP COMMUTE DAILY AND AFTER READING HUNDREDS OF POSTING FROM OTHERS THAT HAVE ENCOUNTERED THIS PROBLEM, I COUNT MYSELF LUCKY. MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE CAR STOP ON THEM GOING 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. I WAS LUCKY, BUT IT COULD HAVE TURNED OUT DEADLY. THERE ARE INCIDENTS OF ACCIDENTS OCCURRING DUE TO FAULTY P2716'S. IT IS NOT A MATTER OF IF IT GOES OUT, BUT WHEN. I THINK TOYOTA SHOULD BE OBLIGATED TO NOTIFY THE OWNERS OF THE 2006 COROLLA LE'S THAT THE PART IS FAULTY AND TO HAVE IT REPLACED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY 2002 TOYOTA COROLLA ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT A FEW YEARS AGO. THE PEDAL WAS NOT STUCK, THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT ON. I CALLED TOYOTA TO COMPLAIN AND THEY SAID IT WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT, AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY. MY MECHANIC NEVER FOUND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM BUT I HAVE LIVED IN FEAR THAT IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. I HAVE HEARD THAT MANY OTHER TOYOTA AND LEXUS OWNERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND TOYOTA IS BLAMING IT ON FAULTY FLOOR MATS. THIS IS PATENTLY FALSE AND THEY ARE TRYING TO COVER UP A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I WAS ALMOST KILLED AND OTHER DRIVERS APPARENTLY WEREN'T AS LUCKY AS I WAS TO GET OFF THE ROAD SAFELY. I EMAILED TOYOTA RECENTLY AND RECEIVED NO RESPONSE OTHER THAN AN AUTOMATED NOTICE OF RECEIVING MY EMAIL. PLEASE LET ME KNOW OF ANY RECOURSE I HAVE IN THIS MATTER. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2009 TOYOTA COROLLA, "S" AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE PROBLEM WAS INITIALLY IDENTIFIED BY ME WHEN MY CAR WOULD NOT CATCH WHILE ON A SLOPE IN DRIVE. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD ROLL BACK. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THIS WAS NORMAL DUE TO A LOSS OF PRESSURE, HOWEVER IT WOULD DO IT EVEN IF I BARLEY STOPPED ON A GRADUAL INCLINE FOR A FEW SECONDS. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO ROLL BACK UNLESS I HAD ONE FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND ONE FOOT ON THE GAS WHILE TO KEEP ME STEADY TO START. THIS HAPPENED AT FROM THE TIME I PURCHASED THE CAR. RECENTLY, I MY ENGINE HAS BEEN RUNNING REALLY ROUGH AND WINDING AT A HIGH PITCH WHILE DRIVING. IT NOW INTERMITTENTLY GOES BETWEEN GEARS AND DOWNSHIFTS AUTOMATICALLY INTO GEARS THAT ARE NOT APPROPRIATE FOR THE SPEEDS TRAVELING. THIS CAUSES A DRASTIC DOWN SPEED, AND EXAMPLE IS I WILL BE ON THE FREEWAY TRAVELING SPEEDS BETWEEN 50-65 AND IT WILL DOWNSHIFT AND REDUCE MY SPEED TO 40 MPH OR LESS, THEN I WILL TRY TO ACCELERATE AND IT WILL REDLINE OUT, AS IF I AM IN NEUTRAL AND I WILL HAVE NO CONTROL TO REGAIN SPEED UNTIL IT AUTOMATICALLY PUSHES ITSELF BACK INTO GEAR, AND THEN INCREASES MY SPEED AT A RAPID PACE, WITHOUT ME PUTTING MY FOOT ON THE GAS. AT THIS POINT, I AM REQUIRED TO PLACE MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO CONTROL MY SPEEDS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS TAKEN MY CAR BACK TWICE AND CLAIMED TO HAVE FIXED IT TWICE BASED ON THE READS, BUT I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THE READS ON THE COMPUTER WILL SAY THAT IT IS AN ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION... HOWEVER THEY CAN NOT IDENTIFY WHERE THE MALFUNCTION IS COMING FROM. PARTS HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED AND NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE TO FIX THIS AT THIS TIME. TOYOTA IS NOT ASSISTING WITH THE RECALL AND I AM LEFT WITH LOTS OF SHOP HOURS. THINKING ABOUT REGISTERING FOR THE LEMON LAW ABOUT MY CAR, I DRIVE APX. 1000 MILES WEEK AND MY CAR IS NOT SAVING, CONSISTENT, AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE HAVE NO CONTROL WHILE MY CAR MALFUNCTIONS. I CAN ONLY REACT TO WHAT IS HAPPENING. IT ALSO MAKES A LOUD CLUNKING SOUND, AND A HIGH WINDING SOUND WHEN REDLINING. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, EQUIPMENT
I AM CONTACTING ODI NHTSA ABOUT A PROBLEM WITH MY TOYOTA COROLLA 2005, REGARDING THE REPLACEMENT OF THE CHARCOAL VAPOR CANISTER. BACK, IN OCTOBER 2007, MY CAR'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON (THIS WAS WHEN THE MILEAGE WAS AROUND 41,200). BY 'GLEN TOYOTA NJ' I CAME TO KNOW THAT THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, DEW CHARCOAL CANISTER FAILURE. ALSO I WAS TOLD: BECAUSE THE WARRANTY IS EXPIRED AFTER 36000 MILES, THE TOTAL REPAIR AROUND $480 WAS PAID BY ME. MY FRUSTRATION IS, THAT IT BROKE AFTER WARRANTY, BUT S L I G H T L Y OVER 36,000 MILES. I THINK, THAT ACCORDING TO FEDERAL REGULATIONS IN TOUGHENING CAR EMISSION REQUIREMENTS, AN EMISSION CONTROL DEVICE SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN JUST TWO AND A HALF YEARS. ALSO I LEARNED THAT USA GOVERNMENT OBLIGATED ALL CAR MANUFACTURERS TO EXTEND WARRANTY FOR EXHAUST SYSTEM UP TO 80,000 MILES. IF YOU ARE IN POWER, THIS IS THE RIGHT TIME TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY UP TO 80,000 FOR EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM DEVICES. ALSO BECAUSE OF A HUGE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINS, PARTICULARLY FOR CHARCOAL VAPOR CANISTERS TOYOTA MANUFACTURER SHOULD PRONOUNCE A RECALL. *TR SINCERELY ISAAC
