FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
PURCHASED CAR ON 9-4-2001, NO SMELL AT ALL. FUEL PUMP GOES BAD AND IS REPLACED AFTER 20 DAYS OWNING CAR AT 300 MILES. AFTER PUMP REPLACEMENT I NOTICED VERY BAD ROTTEN EGG SMELL. TOOK IT TO DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND SAID NOTHING WRONG WITH CAR, BUT IT COULD BE THE FUEL. IT WAS ADVISED TO USE 5 DIFFERENT FUELS. FILL TANK 3 TIMES USING EACH FUEL UNTIL THE CAR BURNS THE GAS THAT DOES NOT SMELL. THEY ALL SMELL AND PEOPLE AS MYSELF ARE GETTING SICK RIDING IN THE CAR. THE SMALL HAPPENS AT LEAST TWICE A DAY WITH NO SET TIME. SOME ORDERS ARE LIGHT IN SMELL THEN A STRONG SMELL THAT WILL FORCE YOU OUT OF THE CAR. I HAVE ASKED MANY OWNERS OF THE SAME TYPE OF CAR WHO GET GAS AT THE SAME STATION I DO IF THERE CAR SMELLS AND EVERYONE SAID NO. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND A DISTRICT TECH FROM NEW YORK, AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEY WILL NOT LOOK AT THE CAR ANYMORE AND WE HAVE TO GO TO ARBITRATION. THERE PHONE NO. IS 310- 618 4000. SOMETHING DOES NOT ADD UP. ONLY ONE VISIT, THE CAR STILL STINKS, I FEEL SICK DRIVING IT , NO SECOND VISIT TO DEALER, FIELD TECH BRUSHING ME OFF , AND GO TO ARBITRATION AFTER ONE DEALER VISIT. I WANT THIS INVESTIGATED BY YOUR DEPARTMENT , AND I THINK IT ALSO MY BE TIME FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT ALSO .*AK

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
IN THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF I HAVE HAD THREE HANDLES BREAK ON MY 1993 COROLLA. ONE HANDLE JUST HAS A HOLE IN THE PLASTIC, BUT TWO OTHERS ACTUALLY BROKE OFF RENDERING THE DOORS INOPERABLE. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED ABOUT A YEAR AGO. THE RIGHT REAR HANDLE JUST FELL OFF IN MY NIECE'S HAND WHEN SHE ATTEMPTED TO OPEN THE DOOR. BECAUSE THE DOOR MUST BE TAKEN APART TO REPLACE THE PLASTIC HANDLE, I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THE COST FOR THE REPAIR IS APPROX. $250.00. THE SECOND INCIDENT OCCURED ONLY A MONTH OR TWO LATER. THE INSIDE DRIVER'S HANDLE BROKE OFF AS I ATTEMPTED TO GET OUT OF THE CAR. THIS WAS ABOUT A $75.00 REPAIR THAT I HAD TO MAKE IMMEDIATELY. IT SCARES ME THO THINK OF BEING TRAPPED IN THE CAR WITH A BROKEN DOOR HANDLE. I HAVE YET TO FIX THE RIGHT REAR HANDLE BECAUSE OF THE EXCESSIVE COST . SOMETHING HAS TO BE WRONG WITH THE PLASTIC THEY USED. NO ONE I KNOW HAS EVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS.
