UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I STARTED MY CAR AND PUT IT IN REVERSE, AS I BACKED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY THE CAR SEIZED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY STREET I WAS BACKING ONTO AND I COULD NOT GET IT TO MOVE NO MATTER WHAT I DID. A COUPLE OF DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON, I WASN'T ABLE TO SHIFT OR GET OUT OF THE WAY OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. ONE OF THE LIGHTS THAT CAME ON HAD AN EXCLAMATION POINT. MY STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT MOVE EITHER. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT, IT RAN AFTER THAT. I HAVE SINCE BEEN VERY WARY ABOUT DRIVING BECAUSE I'M AFRAID I'M GOING TO BE DRIVING AND IT'LL JUST STOP WORKING AGAIN.

POWER TRAIN
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, IT IS MORE LIKE A QUESTION ABOUT MY CONCERN ABOUT A COMMON MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. I DO NOT HAVE SERIOUS ISSUE AT THIS TIME BUT I GOT SOME ALARMING SIGN ON MY VEHICLE THAT I AM AFRAID IT COMES BACK. I HAVE NOTICED TONS OF COMPLAINT ONLINE ABOUT TOYOTA COROLLA 2007 GIVING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WITH THE CODE P0741, YOU CAN ALREADY FIND IT ONLINE AND MANY OF THE OWNER SEEMS TO BE FRUSTRATED ABOUT THIS ISSUE. IN MANY CASES CAR DOES NOT HAVE ANY ISSUE BUT THE LIGHT COMES AND GO, SPECIALLY WITH THE S MODEL. IT INCLUDES CARS WITH 50,000 MILES AND ABOVE. THE NUMBER OF CASES SEEMS TO BE SIGNIFICANT AND TOYOTA DEALERS SEEM TO OFFER TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY THE PRICE OF THE CAR. I HAVE SEEN A RECALL FOR 2005 AND 006 COROLLA FOR COMPUTER CHANGE WITH SIMILAR ERROR CODE BUT WITH THIS HIGH NUMBER OF COMPLAINT, I COULD NOT FIND ANY RECALL FOR COROLLA 2007. THE CODE IS MOST OFTEN READ AS SOLENOID ISSUE WHILE TOYOTA DEALERS SUGGESTED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION IN ALL CASES(BASED ON REVIEWS). I BELIEVE YOU MAY NEED TO LOOK INTO IT AS IT IS QUIET FREQUENT AND MAY CAUSE SAFETY ISSUE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMPUTER OR ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL. (BUT TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION GENERALLY COULD CAUSE SERIOUS ISSUE ON THE ROAD OR HIGHWAYS) PLEASE LET ME KNOW ABOUT YOUR OPINION ON THIS MATTER. (I THOUGHT MAYBE YOU ARE ALSO INVESTIGATING A COMMON MANUFACTURER DEFECT, I WAS NOT SURE WHERE I SHOULD REPORT THIS MATTER) THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION

ENGINE ABNORMAL SHIFT DOWNWARD WHILE DRIVING REGULARLY. I FEEL THE SHIFT IS NOT SMOOTH EVEN FEELS LIKE A DEFECT IN THE ENGINE SHIFT SYSTEM 17,000 MILES MOSTLY HAPPENS REGULARLY DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AND A BIT LESS HAPPENS ON THE PARKWAY BUT DOES HAPPEN. THE SHIFTS ARE HARD TO IGNORE I REMEMBER THE VERY TIME I FELT IT ON 10,000 MILES AND IT WOULD ABLE OCCASIONALLY AND NOW IT'S HAPPENING EVEN MORE FREQUENTLY THAN I CAN POSSIBLY SAY THIS IS AN ONGOING DEFECT AND GROWING TO BE A PROBLEM EVEN MORE SO.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I DROVE MY CAR TO GET GAS ON NOVEMBER 24, 2019. AFTER I GOT FULL TANK OF GAS, I CANNOT START THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE WOULD MAKE A NOICE LIKE COUGHING, AND WHOLE CAR WOULD SHAKE, ALL THE ELECTRIC (LIGHTS, METER, MUSIC) WOULD BE ON, BUT THE ENGINE WOULD GO BACK TO 'DEAD'. ON THE DISPLAY SCREEN, IT WOULD SHOW THE 'BATTERY' WARNING ICON. I IMMEDIATELY TRIED JUMPSTART, BUT I STILL CANNOT START MY VEHICLE SO IT'S NOT SIMPLY A BATTERIES PROBLEM. (ACTUALLY, I THINK THE BATTERY ITSELF HAS NO PROBLEM.) THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT IN SERVICE ON SUNDAY, SO I HAVE TO PAID TO GET MY CAR TOWED AT THE NIGHT- DROP. BEFORE THE GUY TOWED MY VEHICLE AWAY, HE TRIED TO START MY VEHICLE AGAIN AND IT CANNOT BE START. ON MONDAY MORNING THE DEALERSHIP EXAMINE IN THE VEHICLE BUT THEY CLAIM THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. ALL THE TEST COME CLEAN AND THEY WANTED ME TO COME AND TAKE MY VEHICLE. BUT WHEN THE TECHNICIAN WAS ABOUT TO GET MY CAR, HE HIMSELF CANNOT START A VEHICLE AGAIN OR IT TAKES A LONG TIME FOR THE VEHICLE TO START. SO THEY KEEP THE CAR THREE MORE DAYS TO TEST BUT TODAY THEY CALLED ME, AND STILL TELLING ME THE VEHICLE HAS NO PROBLEM. THE CAR CLEARLY HAS SOME PROBLEM! AND ACTUALLY THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT IT HAPPENED. THE FIRST TIME HAPPENED WHEN I PARKED MY CAR AT MY OFFICE BUILDINGS PARKING LOT, AND AT NIGHT AFTER WORK I CANNOT START THE ENGINE. SAME PROBLEM. THAT TIME I WAIT FOR TWO MINUTES AND I CAN START THE CAR BACK ON AGAIN. BUT THE SAME PROBLEM DID EXIST BEFORE, AND IT HAS A RECURRING PROBLEM. I'M NOW VERY WORRIED ABOUT MY CAR, I FEAR THAT THE SAME PROBLEM WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN, AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT.

I CHECKED GOOGLE TO SEE IF IM THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS ENCOUNTER THIS PAINT ISSUE. BUT ITS NOT JUST ME. I CHECKED IF THERE ARE ANY RECALLS FROM TOYOTA ABOUT THE PAINT JOB BUT NOTHING.

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES, SEAT BELTS
MY DAUGHTER WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT ON 11/16/2019 @ 11:57AM AND SHE REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE GOING 40 MILES PER HOUR. THE CARS FORWARD COLLISION NOR DID THE CRASH IMMINENT BRAKING SYSTEM WORK. THE SEAT BELTS DID NOT LOCK UP NOR DID THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY CAUSING HER TO HIT THE DASH BOARD AND THE PASSENGER TO HIT HER HEAD ON THE DASH BOARD. SHE HAS BRUISED RIBS, BRUISED STERNUM, LUMBAR STRAIN ETC. THANKFULLY THIS DID NOT RESULT IN SOMETHING WORSE. HOWEVER, THIS SHOULD BE A CONCERN SINCE THERE IS AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION REGARDING THE MALFUNCTION OF THE AIR BAGS NOT DEPLOYING,
