SUSPENSION
I HAVE A 2015 TOYOTA COROLLA WITH 85,000 MILES. IT HAS A NOISE SENSE IT HAD 33,000 MILE AND TOYOTA IGNORE IT, (CLUNKING) IN THE FRONT LEFT SIDE WHEN GOING THROUGH SMALL POTHOLES AND UNEVEN SURFACES AT SLOW SPEEDS. I HAVE CHANGED THE STRUT MOUNTS, SWAY BAR LINKS, SWAY BAR BUSHINGS AND EVEN THE SWAY BAR AND NOTHING HAS CHANGED. I DO NOT WHAT ELSE TO DO. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THREE MECHANICS AND NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE NOISE. MY LAST MECHANIC ADVISE ME ALOT OF TOYOTA COROLLA HAVE THIS ISSUE HE ADVISE TO REPLACE THE LOWER CONTROL ARM IT WILL FIX THE ISSUE AND TOYOTA SHOULD THINK ABOUT RECALL IT THIS ISSUE EVERYONE HAVE.

SERVICE BRAKES, WHEELS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
1.EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ACCELERATION PROBLEM AT A SIGNAL LIGHT 2.TO CONTROL SUDDEN ACCELERATION, NEED TO PUSH BRAKES HARDER THAN A NON HYBRID CAR 3.IN THE REVERSE DIRECTION, IT GOES TOO FAST WITHOUT PUSHING THE GAS, THIS MAY CAUSE A CRASH MISSING EXTRA TIRE AND THE ACCESSORIES (JACK, LUG WRENCH, OTHER TOOLS ETC) EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A SLOTTED PLACE HOLDER THERE. (SHAME ON TOYOTA FOR DOING THIS, TO ORDER A NEW KIT THIS WILL COST APPROX $1,500 PER MISSING KIT, IF YOU WERE TO ORDER INDIVIDUALLY, THIS CAN POTENTIALLY BE A SERIOUS PERSONAL SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU'RE IN A BAD NEIGHBORHOOD AND WAITING FOR TOW TRUCK VS QUICKLY CHANGE THE TIRE AND LEAVE) 4.CHEAP SOFT TIRES, GOT A SCREW WITHIN 2 MONTHS? CALLED TOYOTA , TOWING IS FREE, BUT YOU MUST PAY FOR THE FLAT REPAIR OR BUY A NEW TIRE (ABOUT $250) EVERY TIME THERE IS FLAT AS YOU DO NOT HAVE EXTRA TIRE, JACK, LUG WRENCH. (THIS CAN BE RACKETEERING - SHAME ON TOYOTA FOR DOING THIS) 5.2ND CAR (2021 HYBRID) CAME WITH THE LOW BRAKE FLUID LEVELS, CLOSE TO THE LOW/MIDDLE VS BRAND NEW CAR WITH NEW BRAKES, FLUID LEVEL SHOULD BE CLOSE TO MAXIMUM. (SHAME ON TOYOTA FOR DOING THIS AND PLAYING CHEAP, BESIDES SAFETY ISSUE) 6.TO REPAIR FLAT TIRE, THE AIR PUMP AND GLUE KIT IS A JOKE, THIS DOESN'T WORK - TOYOTA SHOULD PROVIDE NON-FLAT ABLE TIRES BEFORE THIS GENIUS MICKEY-MOUSE INVENTION. (SHAME ON TOYOTA FOR DOING THIS) *DT*JB

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I DROVE TO TOYOTA ARLINGTON FOR TIRE ROTATION ON 2/4/21 AND THE CAR WAS RUNNING FINE. ODOMETER WAS 44091 MILES. AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP, I DROVE ABOUT A MILE THEN THE ENGINE LOST POWER. THE CAR COULD ONLY GO ABOUT 5 MPH. THE CAR JERK UP AND DOWN AS IF I DROVE ON THE RAIL ROAD TRACKS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TRAC OFF AND RED STEERING WHEEL SYMBOL LIT UP BUT NOT FLASHING. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER RIGHT AWAY. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, THE ATTENDANT TURNED IT BACK ON. THE CHECK ENGINE, TRACK OFF AND STEERING SYMBOLS WERE OFF. THE CODE WAS NOT SAVED, SO ON 2/8/21 THE INDEPENDENT SHOP COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM (44132 MILES). ON 2/12/21 THE SAME SYMPTOMS CAME BACK AT 44175 MILES. THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHING, TRACK OFF LIGHT AND STEERING WHEEL SYMBOLS CAME ON BUT NOT FLASHING. MY WIFE TURNED THE CAR OFF, WAITED FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN TURNED IT ON. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF BUT THE TRAC OFF LIGHT REMAINED ON. IN THE PAST, AFTER I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND TURNED IT ON ONE CLICK, THE SYMBOLS WERE ON, AND WHEN THE IGNITION TURNED ON, THE SYMBOLS WERE OFF. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE CAR ALSO SMELL LIKE A BURNING TIRE. WE WERE DRIVING ABOUT 35 MPH ON LANE NUMBER 1 (NEXT TO YELLOW LINES MEDIAN) ON A COUNTY 4 LANES HIGHWAY. THE CAR SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 5 MPH, JERK UP AND DOWN AND THE CAR VIBRATES AND IT HAPPENED TWICE IN A WEEK. THE CAR IS ONLY 4.5 YEARS OLD AND ONLY 44175 MILES. THE SECOND INDEPENDENT SHOP READ THE CODE AS P0301, MISFIRED. HE SUGGESTED TO BRING THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR TOYOTA TO FIX IT UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. NO REPAIR HAS BEEN DONE YET.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR STARTED BLINKING RED WHEN THE CAR IS OFF, WHEN THE CAR IS ON THE LIGHT SAYS THE AIRBAG IS OFF. I TOOK IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALER LIKE I WAS RECOMMENDED TO DO AFTER CHECKING THE RECALL WEBSITE. AUTO NATION TOYOTA AT 12111 GULF FREEWAY IN HOUSTON TEXAS FOR THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM.AFTER IN LESS THAN AN HOUR THE SERVICE ATTENDANT CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THAT THE CAR NEEDED THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS REPLACED AND THE AC AND ENGINE FILTERS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND IT WAS GOING TO COST 4 OR 5 HUNDRED DOLLARS TO FIX. WHEN I TOLD HER I JUST WANTED THE AIRBAGS FIXED SHE TOLD ME THE CAR WAS READY AND I COULD COME AND PICK IT UP. WHEN I GOT THERE TO PICK IT UP THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS STILL ON AS IF NOTHING WAS DONE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WHEN I TOLD HER THAT THEY DID NOT FIX THE CAR THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS STILL ON. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS A LOT OF WORK INVOLVED IN FIXING THE PROBLEM TO WHERE THE LIGHT WOULD GO OF SUCH AS SENSORS, ELECTRICAL, AND COMPUTER RESETTING. AND THAT THEY ARE ONLY REQUIRED TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG. I RESPONDED WITH "THAT WAS NOT WAS I WAS INFORMED. I WAS INFORMED THAT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM AND REPAIRING THE PROBLEM MEANS THAT THE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF IN ITS ORIGINAL STATE OR HOW WOULD I KNOW THAT THE PROBLEM IS FIXED." HE SAID I WAS INFORMED WRONG ESPECIALLY IF I GOT THE INFORMATION OFF THE INTERNET. IN OTHER WORDS, HE WAS TELLING ME THAT IT WAS TOO MUCH WORK FOR THEM TO REPAIR FOR FREE. SO WHAT DO I DO NOW, AM I SUPPOSE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE IN AN UNSAFE CAR I FEEL LIKE BECAUSE I WAS NOT WILLING TO PAY FOR THE SERVICES THAT TO BE REPAIRED THEN THEY WERE NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING AT ALL. THAT TELLS ME THAT THEY ARE PRICE GOUGING AND DOING ILLEGAL BUSINESS PRACTICES AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE IMMEDIATELY .
