I BOUGHT A 2003 TOYOTA COROLLA FROM A CERTIFIED CAR DEALERSHIP, AND WAS SOLD A CAR THAT WAS INVOLVED IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT AND WAS NOT REPORTED. THE WHOLE FRONT OF THE CAR HAS NONE OF THE ORIGINAL PARTS TO THE CAR WHICH DEPRECIATED THE VALUE OF THE CAR, BUT IT WAS STILL SOLD TO ME AS SLIGHTLY USED IN GREAT CONDITION,LOW MILEAGE AND SUPPOSE TO HAVE NEVER BEEN IN AN ANY ACCIDENTS, I ALSO FOUND OUT THE THIS CAR DID NOT PASS INSPECTION AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE, I HAD TO BRING THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES STARTING FIVE DAYS AFTER I BOUGHT IT. I TRIED GIVING THE CAR BACK AND THEY SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO BECAUSE THE CONTRACT IS ALREADY SIGNED, AND BECAUSE OF THE EXTENSIVE DAMAGES TO THE CAR THEY WILL ONLY GIVE $6,000 FOR THE CAR WHEN IN FACT THEY SOLD IT TO ME FOR OVER $15,000. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY CAR ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS WILL NOT START AS WELL.....THERE IS NO CRANKING WHATSOEVER. ALTHOUGH UPON TURNING THE KEY ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD LIGHT UP IN A NORMAL MANNER, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO SOUND FROM THE ENGINE. AFTER EITHER A FEW TRIES OR ROLL STARTING THE VEHICLE (MANUAL TRANSMISSION)....IT WILL START. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER ONCE AND THEY ORIGINALLY THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY, THEN THE STARTER *WHICH THEY PROCEEDED TO REPLACE, THEN AFTER A FEW DAYS THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN....I AM BRINGING IT BACK TO THE DEALER. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY WIFE WAS BEHIND THE WHEEL OF HER 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA LE AND WAS BACKING SLOWLY OUT OF A PARKING SPACE (HER FOOT WAS RESTING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL) WHEN SHE AND ANOTHER DRIVER BUMPED REAR BUMPERS (SPEED WAS ABOUT 2 MPH), MY WIFE SHIFTED THE TRANSMISSION INTO DRIVE, THE ENGINE RACED THE CAR LEADED FORWARD UP AND OVER A CEMENT PARKING CURB AND INTO A PLATE GLASS WINDOW OF A HEALTH SPA (YMCA). IT WAS A MIRACLE THAT NO ONE IN THE SPA WAS SERIOUSLY HURT . THE CAR WAS TOTALED ,MY WIFE WAS DEVASTATED AND EMOTIONALLY A WRECK. THE CAR WAS INSPECTED FOR MECHANICAL DEFECTS BY A STATE INSPECTOR. NONE WERE FOUND. *NM

AIR BAGS
THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT ON OUR 1998 TOYOTA COROLLA BLINKS CONTINUALLY. COMPUTER ANALYSIS INDICATES THE CAUSE TO BE A FAULTY AIRBAG HARNESS. CORRECTION OF THE PROBLEM REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF THE HARNESS -- A $500 EXPENSE. TOYOTA DEALERSHIP INDICATES THAT THIS IS A COMMONLY SEEN PROBLEM IN THIS MODEL YEAR. IF THE AIRBAG HARNESS FAILS, THE AIRBAG MIGHT NOT DEPLOY OR MIGHT NOT DEPLOY EFFECTIVELY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. SUCH A PROBLEM THEREFORE REPRESENTS A BROADER SAFETY ISSUE FOR ALL OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES. *JB

AIR BAGS
I AM AN OWNER OF A 2003 TOYOTA COROLLA, WHICH WAS INVOLVED IN A REALLY BAD FRONTAL WRECK. MY VEHICLE HAD COLLIDED WITH THE REAR OF AN SUV AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH AND BRAKED ABOUT 200 FT AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE IN FRONT WHEN IT COLLIDED. NEITHER OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, NOR THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER. THE PASSENGER HIT THEIR HEAD AGAINST THE WINDSHIELD AND SHATTERED THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED IF THE AIR BAGS WOULD HAVE DEPLOYED PROPERLY. I HAVE CONTACTED THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS VIA EMAIL AND PHONE SO THEY MAY INSPECT THE VEHICLE, BUT I NEVER HEARD ANYTHING BACK FROM THEM. *NM

2003 TOYOTA COROLLA LE REVVED UP WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED. *KB THE CONSUMER HAD TO APPLY A GOOD AMOUNT OF PRESSURE TO THE PEDAL AND EVENTUALLY, HE SHIFTED THE GEAR INTO NEUTRAL. THE VEHICLE CAME TO A SAFE STOP AND THE VERY FAST IDLE WHICH MAY HAVE LASTED FOR 10 SECONDS HAD RETURNED TO NORMAL. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE WHAT THE CONSUMER HAD EXPERIENCED. *JB
