POWER TRAIN
TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH SOLENOID PERFORMANCE. MY 18 OLD DAUGHTER JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM THIS MAN WHO HAD RESET THE CAR SO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF. AFTER US DRIVING IT HOME AND SERVER MILES LATER IT WENT OFF. HE SAID HE HAD FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION OIL AND THAT HIS MECHANIC HAD TOLD HIM TO JUST RESET IT AND IT WOULD BE FINE OBVIOUSLY IT WAS NOT FINE. WE TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC WHO IS A VERY HONEST MECHANIC HAD STATED THAT THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE . HE PULLED UP SOME RECALLS AND INDICATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL DONE ON MODELS 04305 COROLLA UNFORTUNATELY THE VIN NUMBERS WERE 1ZZ -FE. I'M CALLING THE DEALERSHIPS AND ALL THEY CAN TELL ME IS THAT THIS MAY HAVE BEEN AN EXPIRED RECALL ON MY VEHICLE THEREFORE IT'S NO LONGER UNDER THE WARRANTY OF THE RECALL . THEY'RE NOT TELLING ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS THEY'RE JUST SAYING THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR VIN NUMBER . WITH ALL THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE I'VE SEEN A LOT OF THIS ISSUE HAS ARRIVED WITH OTHER VIN NUMBERS BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN OPEN . AT THIS POINT I'M NOT EVEN TOO SURE WHAT TO DO OTHER THAN GET A NEW TRANSMISSION OR REBUILT THIS TRANSMISSION.

POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE STARTED SHOWING THE "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" AND THE ERROR CODE SHOWN WAS P0741. THE ERROR CODE SUGGESTS ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH CONVERTER SOLENOID. THIS ISSUES SEEMS TO BE COMMON ON THE 2005 COROLLA AND COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE TRANSMISSION DIES IMMEDIATELY WHILE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY OR HIGH-SPEED ROAD.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE CAR SHUTS DOWN AND STOPS WITHOUT WARNING. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO TOYOTA 2 X THIS MONTH AND STILL NOT FIXED. IT WAS JUST TOWED AGAIN TODAY. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN ONCE THE CAR IS DRIVEN FOR AWHILE AND GETS WARMED UP. WHEN IT SITS FOR AWHILE IT WILL START AGAIN. I NOTICED THAT TOYOTA RECALLED SOME 2005 COROLLAS FOR ECM REPLACEMENT BUT I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL. MY RESEARCH SEEMS TO INDICATE THIS CAR IS HAVING ECM PROBLEMS. TOYOTA HAS ALREADY REPLACED FUEL REGULATOR SENSOR( 1ST TIME) AND OXYGEN SENSOR (2ND TIME) BUT AS STATED ABOVE IT HAPPENED AGAIN 3 DAYS AFTER SECOND REPAIR. MY 17 YR OLD GRAND DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS CAR. I BELIEVE IT IS THE EMC AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN PART OF THE RECALL. THIS IS DEADLY. THE CAR JUST STOPS. IMAGINE DRIVING ACROSS A BRIDGE 65 MILE AN HOUR AND YOUR CAR STOPS NO POWER NO ACCELERATION AND YOU THINK YOUR CAR HAS BEEN FIXED BY CERTIFIED TOYOTA MECHANIC. IF ON A HILL YOU CANNOT EVEN GET OFF THE ROAD. HELP!!! ONCE SHE WAS ON A STREET AND ONCE ON HIGHWAY.

TIRES, TIRES:SIDEWALL
I HAVE BEEN A BIG PROPONENT OF COOPER TIRES DUE TO THEIR MANUFACTURING PROCESSES. I'VE SINCE CHANGED MY MIND DUE TO THE 3 BLOW OUTS WE'VE HAD WITH THE CS4 TOURING (2) AND NOW MOST RECENT CS5 GRAND TOURING LINE. THE CS5 TIRES WERE PURCHASED LESS THAN A YEAR AGO. ALL HAVE BEEN ON THE SIDEWALL AND ALL HAVE BEEN ON THE FREEWAY GOING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT APPEARS COOPER TIRES DOES NOT CARE ABOUT PEOPLE LIVES! OBVIOUSLY QUALITY IS NOT ONE OF THEIR CORE VALUES. TRY BEING IN TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY AND HAVING A BLOW OUT THOSE ARE THE CONSEQUENCES. FORTUNATELY NOBODY WAS HURT JUST EXTREMELY SCARED. I WILL BE TAKING THE TIRES BACK TO EXPRESS TIRES TO SEE WHAT KIND OF SUPPORT THEY WILL PROVIDE. BTW ONLY OPTION TO SELECT IS CS4 TOURING BUT THESE ARE THE CS5 GRAND TOURING. SAME PROBLEM BUILT INTO THE NEWER MODEL.

WHEN I ARRIVED THEY TOOK MY CAR TO GO CHECK WHY THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON, I REMINDED THEM THAT I WAS THERE TWO WEEKS AGO MAYBE THEY HAD FORGTOTTEN TO DO SOMETHING. THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME HE WOULD HAVE A MECHANIC TAKE A LOOK; AN HOUR AFTER ANOTHER SERVICE ADVISR LARRY CAME AND TOLD ME THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED THAT I WOULD COST ME $800. I TOLD HIM I HAD MY CAR FOR 11 YEARS AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT NEVER HAD ANY ISSUE UNTIL I BROUGHT MY CAR THERE FOR THEM TO FIX THE AIR BAG AS REQUESTED BY THE TOYOTA COMPANY;LARRY TOLD ME THE ISSUE THE CAR HAS NOW IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE SAFETY RECALL AND THAT MY ONLY OPTION WAS TO GET IT FIX, HE ALSO SAID THAT IF I WAS INVOLVE IN A CAR ACCIDENT THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. I TOLD HIM THAT IT WAS BOCH TOYOTA'S RESPONSIBILTY TO FIX IT, HE TOLD ME IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE. NEXT THEY BROUGHT MY CAR FOR ME THEN I LEFT. MY AIR BAG LIGHT IS STILL ON IN THE CAR, I HAVE ASKED TWO MECHANICS FOR SUGGESTIONS AND THEY BOTH INFORMED ME THAT BOCH TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE TAKEN CARE OF IT. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE CONTACT ME ?

TAKATA RECALL- WE RECEIVED THE NOTICE FOR THE RECALL AND CALLED OUR LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER. THEY INFORMED US THAT WE WOULD BE CONTACTED WHEN PARTS CAME IN. A FEW MONTHS LATER, WE RECEIVED A NOTICE INDICATING THAT PARTS HAD BEEN MANUFACTURED FOR OUR LOCATION. WE CALLED AGAIN AND WERE TOLD THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS AND THAT A SUPERVISOR WOULD CALL US BACK. WE NEVER RECEIVED A CALL BACK. WE CALLED BACK AGAIN A FEW MONTHS LATER AND WERE TOLD THE SAME EXACT THING, INCLUDING THAT WE WOULD GET A CALL BACK FROM THE SUPERVISOR. WE RECEIVED NO CALL BACK. WE CALLED ONE LAST TIME (AFTER BATTLING WITH THIS FOR OVER A YEAR), AND WERE TOLD THE EXACT SAME THING. WE EVEN SAID, "CAN YOU PLEASE MAKE SURE HE ACTUALLY CALLS US BACK THIS TIME? WE HAVE BEEN PROMISED MANY CALLS BACK BEFORE AND NEVER GOTTEN THEM." WELL, NO CALL BACK! IN THE MEANTIME, WE HAVE TO AVOID TRAVELING WITH PASSENGERS WHICH IS A MASSIVE INCONVENIENCE, ESPECIALLY WITH TWO BUSY CHILDREN. WE HAD THIS SAME RECALL WITH OUR HONDA AND IT WAS COMPLETELY SOLVED WITHIN 6 MONTHS.
