ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
IN OUR 2003 TOYOTA COROLLA, EXHAST FUMES WITH A SULFUROUS SMELL OFTEN VENT INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. TOYOTA CLAIMS THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE GASOLINE, NOT THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. IN OTHER WORDS, WHEN THE CAR IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, IT IS SUPPOSED TO DRAW EXHAUST INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR, IT IS JUST NOT SUPPOSED TO BE NOTICEABLE. THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR DISPUTE SETTLEMENT AGREES.*AK

SUSPENSION:FRONT
CAR WAS PURCHASED FROM USED CAR "SUPERSTORE"; PURCHASER PAID FOR "128 POINT INSPECTION" AND CAR WAS DECLARED "CERTIFIED" BY DEALER. DEALER ISSUED 100,000 MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY WITH PURCHASE OF THIS "CERTIFIED" USED VEHICLE, MEASURED FROM FIRST OWNER USE OF VEHICLE; WARRANTIED UNTIL 2005; VEHICLE HAD 32000 MILES WHEN PURCHASED. FROM TIME OF DELIVERY IN MARCH 2003, CAR HAD "SHIMMY" IN FRONT END AT 68-74 MILES PER HOUR. ON RETURNING TO DEALER FIRST TIME ON 3/20/2003, DEALER SAID IT WAS WHEEL BALANCE PROBLEM, BUT DEALER SAID COULD NOT TEST ABOVE 65 MPH BECAUSE THAT WAS ABOVE LOCAL SPEED LIMIT. DEALER ALSO SAID THAT THEY SPIN BALANCED WHEELS AT ABOUT 55 MPH EQUIVALENT BECAUSE SPIN BALANCE MACHINE DID NOT SPIN ANY FASTER. PROBLEM WAS NOT CORRECTED AT ALL; OWNER THEN WENT TO ANOTHER SERVICE SHOP ON 4/12/2003 AND PAID FOR ALL WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND TWO FRONT WHEEL SPIN BALANCE; PROBLEM STILL NOT CORRECTED. OWNER RETURNED TO DEALER ON 5/06/2003 WITH SAME COMPLAINT. DEALER SAID COULD NOT DO ANYTHING FURTHER. OWNER SUBSEQUENTLY TRIED ROTATING WHEELS FRONT TO BACK, PROBLEM NOT CORRECTED. OWNER BELIEVES THAT ALIGNMENT AND BALANCE ARE NOW RULED OUT AS PROBLEMS; THAT, MOST PROBABLY, FRONT SUSPENSION WAS AND IS DEFECTIVE, CAUSING "SHIMMY", NOW READILY DETECTABLE BETWEEN 65-75 MPH. PROBABLY A SAFETY ISSUE AT CURRENT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.*AK

BAD ROTTEN EGG SMELL EVER SINCE I PURCHASED MY 2003 TOYOTA COROLLA.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
MY CAR '98 COROLLA THAT HAS BEEN REGULARLY MAINTAINED AS PER MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDATIONS BLEW ITS ENGINE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS IN THE FAST LANE AND HAD TO DANGEROUSLY VEER THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER. THE CAR HAD DONE ONLY 50,000 MILES. THE ENGINE BREAKDOWN WAS CAUSED BY SLUDGE AND EXCESSIVE ENGINE WEAR AND TEAR THAT DEVELOPED IN THE CAR WHEN IT HAD DONE JUST 36,000 MILES. THIS WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION BY SUBURBAN TOYOTA OF TROY, MI. I HAVE BEEN REGULAR WITH OIL CHANGE AND PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE AND HAVE RECEIPTS TO PROVE THAT. I FINALLY PAID $4500 FOR FULL ENGINE REPLACEMENT AND SENT THE RECEIPTS AND MAINTENANCE RECORDS TO TOYOTA. TOYOTA HAS REFUSED TO REIMBURSE THIS AMOUNT. *NLM
