POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I BOUGHT A PRE-OWNED VEHICLE FROM SLOANE TOYOTA, GLENSIDE, PA WITH MY SAVINGS OF $5,000 AND AFTER PUTTING LESS THAN 5000 MILES ON IT WAS TOLD I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AT A COST OF $3,700. I THINK THE SALES PERSON KNEW IT NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND SOLD IT TO ME ANYWAY. I HAVE HAD MISFORTUNE AND DISHONESTY BEFORE FROM THE SAME DEALERSHIP, BUT GO BACK BECAUSE I TRUST THE TOYOTA PRODUCT AND THEY ARE THE ONLY DEALER CLOSE ENOUGH TO MY HOME TO BE CONVENIENT. DO I HAVE ANY CASE AT ALL; CAN I GET HELP? *LA

IF THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT, YOU SHOULD WARN OTHER OWNERS OF THIS CAR, SO THERE ARE NO VEHICLE FIRES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING: REAR COMPARTMENT/TRUNK
THE TAIL LIGHTS (STOP LIGHTS) ON MY 1995 TOYOTA COROLLA FAIL CONSTANTLY AND INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN I REPLACE THE BULB(S), THE PROBLEM IS BACK WITHIN WEEKS. SOMETIMES THEY START WORKING AGAIN BY THEMSELVES. I HAVE GIVEN UP TRYING TO KEEP ALL FOUR LIGHT BULBS FUNCTIONING. SOMETIMES WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD FLICKER. MANY OTHER COROLLAS OF THE SAME YEAR HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. MOST OF THE 95 COROLLAS I SEE ON THE ROAD HAVE AT LEAST ONE NON-FUNCTIONING BULB. WHEN I SEE A 95 COROLLA ON THE ROAD, I WATCH IT AND WAIT FOR THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO COME ON - ALMOST ALWAYS AT LEAST ONE BULB IS NON-FUNCTIONING. I HAVE TWO ENGINEERING DEGREES AND I CAN NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I ASKED THE TOYOTA DEALER TO CHECK FOR RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM DURING MY LAST SERVICE, AND THEY IGNORED MY QUESTION. FROM WHAT I CAN TELL, THE HEAT FROM THE BULB CAUSES A HIGH RESISTANCE BETWEEN THE BULB AND THE SOCKET. THAT IS WHY I CAN TAKE THE BULB OUT, AND PUT THE SAME BULB BACK IN AND IT STARTS WORKING AGAIN. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. ONCE A CAR PULLED ALONG SIDE OF ME AND TOLD ME THAT ALL FOUR BULBS WERE NOT FUNCTIONING, AND THAT ONLY THE REAR WINDOW LIGHT WAS OPERATING. I AM CONCERNED THAT SOMEDAY EITHER MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE IN A 95 COROLLA MAY GET INTO A REAR-END COLLISION.
