Takata recalli received a recall notice and immediately brought my vehicle to the toyota dealer on 3/29.they said they would call when they receive the parts.it is now 5/10 and i called because i hadn't heard from them.when i called they said the parts have been back ordered and they have no idea when they will come in.in the meantime, they remind me not to use my passenger seat.i feel frustrated thatthis problem will persist for an undisclosed amount of time.
Takata recall - i received my recall notice for the air bags in 2015, at that time i called 1-888-312-5995 and i was advised to contact my local toyota dealership. Performance toyota in fairfield, ohio was contacted. I was told that the replacement part was on order and they would contact me once the part came in to set up the appointment. I contact the dealership in the spring 2015, i was advised the part was on back order and it could take 30-60 days. I just called the toyota dealership and i'm now being told there is a 12 week/3 month delay on filling back orders and that orders are being filled based on the vin numbers. I'm now being told that they will call me in october when the part comes in. When i called the toyota repair & resolution hot line i was advised to go to another toyota dealership in my area. When i told the agent that all of the dealerships are receiving their replacement parts from the same facility, i'll have the same problem at the other dealership. I advised her that toyota can't meet the demand, doesn't have the parts in place and continues to put customers off to resolve the recall notice. I was then asked if there was anything else she could help me with today.

I received a recall notice for the passenger-side airbag in my car over a year ago. At that time, the replacement parts were not ready.then, several months ago, i received a notice stating that replacement parts were available and to contact my local dealership.however, since then, all parts have been on back order and unavailable from any dealership in my area.the problem is potentially deadly and effectively prohibits me from driving any passengers in the front seat of my car.so for over a year now there has been no solution.

Toyota has failed to remedy the defect within a reasonable time. I received my letter/notice about the recall back in june/july and i still haven't heard anything about when i can actually take my car in to be serviced. This is a concern for me as this is my only car and what i used daily to take me to work & everywhere else in between. I do not want to risk my life or my passengers lives because toyota has failed to replace this part.

After having my car serviced for the recall, i noticed the drivers side air bag red light displayed. Showing that my drivers side airbag has either been turned off or malfunctioned. This is a huge concern for the safety of myself and others who have permission to drive my vehicle.
A man pulled in front of me turning left. I was going straight. I t-boned him and the front of my car was damaged. I hit the steering wheel before the airbag went off. Why? it was a front end collision and the engine was completely ruined. Gas spilling and immobility of the car. It seems that kind of impact should've deployed the airbag upon contact. I was going 30mph and he was supposedly going 30mph or more (since he was coming down hill)...which equals a 60mph impact at least. I've read a 40-45mph impact to a standing object should deploy the airbags. This was two moving cars.

I have have a letter directly from toyota telling me about my airbag recall for my 2007 toyota corolla and how it should be replaced for free in a timely matter. I have been contacting the toyota dealership multiple times to replace the recalled airbag for my car.

For more than a year, i have gotten no response back from toyota or the dealership on how to get my car fixed.

Takata recalli brought our 2007 corolla into pauly toyota in crystal lake illinois on april 25, 2016 because they received the replacement part for the recall. In the process of replacing it, their mechanic broke a part and they had to order a new replacement part. It is now sept. 29, 2016 and they have not received the part yet. The next estimated date the dealership may receive the part is the end of october. As of now my car has been sitting in their parking lot for 5 months. Obviously the end of oct will be 6 months. The toyota customer service number tells me i have to deal with the dealership but according to the dealership they don't know what is going on or when i may get my car back. I feel toyota is not being upfront with information and their customer service people should know more than the individual dealerships. Please let me know if there is information for me. Thank you!

Takata recall- i've been attempting to have the passenger airbag replaced on my 2007 toyota corolla for several months now. My local dealership (folsom lake toyota, 12747 folsom blvd, folsom ca 95630) has been very uncooperative in making this airbag replacement occur. When i initially contacted them approximately 2 months ago, they stated that the airbag part had to be ordered and that they would contact me when it had arrived. I waited a month and never received a call back. When i contacted them again, they did state the part was in. When i attempted to make an appointment to bring it in and have the airbag replaced, they stated that their appointment system (computer) was not allowing an appointment to be made. It appears that this car dealership is not interested in repairing safety issues with the cars that they sell and are making excuses not to do these repairs.

Takata recall:toyota is frequently mailing me reminders and making telephone calls advising me to take my car to the nearest dealer to repair a defect that could spray bits of metal around the cabin.i am on the "list" at my dealer and they tell me it could be two months or longer before they get the parts.when i called the toyota recall people today they said at another dealer the estimated wait for parts was 14 weeks.how is this acceptable?i am sure that all of these notices are merely to meet some requirement that the nhtsa has placed on them.why don't we just fix the car!

Takata recall.i called the local toyota dealership where i purchased the vehicle:boch toyota south, 620 south washington stnorth attleboro ma on may 5, 2016 and was put on a waiting list as they did not have the part to correct the defect.i called again on june 29, 2016 and was told again that they did not have the part and that this might take at least an additional 60 days!this is unacceptable as i cannot have anyone sitting in the front passenger until the vehicle is repaired.i have had other vehicles recalled in the past and have never had to wait this long for a defect to be repaired.

Takata recall - it has been several months and still no resolution to the issue even though other cars have been resolved.i have a 5 month old child in the car and am unable to drive it due to trust issues with toyota and the airbags.the remedy process pertaining to this issue is ridiculous, especially when the more expensive lines of vehicles (lexus) have been resolved.

Fluid leaking from passenger side air bag and sometimes can hear a fluid running sound near passenger side air area
The local dealer, hoffman toyota in west simsbury, ct was contacted over 2 months ago about my defective airbag. They said they would order the part and it would be ready in 2 weeks. I have called twice and they have told me they still do not have the part and that i should not drive the car until it is repaired. They told me not to call them, they would call me when the part has arrived, but they could not tell me when to expect the part. In the meantime, the car has not been driven.
I am very concerned that honda has resolved the airbag issue in my 2003 vehicle in a very timely fashion and toyota has not. In addition i am incurring added carpool costs of not using the passenger side seat due to being advised by toyota not to have passengers in the front passenger seat.

Received recall notice a year ago.called toyota dealership a month ago. Said they would order the part.called again, june 9. Part still not in. This recall, if not fixed could cause serious danger to the passenger.i can't believe it is taking over a year to fix a dangerous problem.
After nearly 2 months that toyota replaced the inflator , the light of my airbag comes on, called toota headquarters, they refer me to my local dealer which they said is not related to the recalled , how do i know is not related?

The other vehicle that was involved in the head on collision was driving a 1993 chevrolet silverado pickup.

I received a recall notice stating that my front passenger air bag was being recalled and advising that i should have no passengers in the front passenger seat. I have contacted a local dealership and called toyota. They tell me that i must wait weeks or months to have the air bag replaced due to a shortage of the part.
We received a recall notice on our corolla today stating that the air bag may deploy and cause the inflator to rupture, potentially causing serious injury or death to the vehicle occupants. However, according to the recall, we do not live in a priority geographic locationto receive an immediate repair and will have to waituntil enough parts are available. Toyota's suggestion in the meantime is to have no one to sit in the passenger seat. We have been advised to file a complaint if we believe that toyota has failed to remedy that effect within a reasonable time. Our family does not own an additional vehicle that will accommodate our family, so we feel this is an unreasonable alternative for toyota to offer (to merely have someone not sit in the passenger's seat.)we are dumbfounded that toyota would send a recall advising us of this potentially life threatening issue with no solution for their customers all over the country.we are now forced to potentially endanger the life of someone in our family as we have no other vehicle that will fit our family.

Takata inflators.you, the nhtsa, are fully aware the takata airbags are not safe and have harmed people.why is it taking so long to issue a safety recall on my model of car?i could be killed, and the delay by the nhtsa to recall the airbags, would be your fault.maybe you have forgotten your responsibility is to the public.

Takata recalli called my local dealer, heritage toyota, and they informed me that "contrary to the letter you received, we do not have the parts to fix the recall."they took the information and put me on a waiting list that they estimated would be at least a couple of months before my vehicle could be repaired
I received notice of an airbag safety recall notice in mid-august 2015 with instruction to "not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passender seat". It has been two months and with a call into my local dealer and national toyota i am told they are still not even working on the 05-07 corolla airbags in my state. Toyota is failing to remedy this defect in my car within a reasonable amount of time.
1-takata recall: nhtsa recall number: 15v285, manufacturer recall number: dsf. Toyota dealerships have not fixed the problem, though i called them long time ago about it.2-steering wheel vibrates too much causing hand numbness.3-brakes are not abs. Even in iran, 2007 manufactured cars arerequired to have abs brake system.
Takata recall- i have made a trip to my toyota of louisville dealer a few weeks past to have my car air bag replaced after getting a recall in the mail. They informed me they did not have the part but would order it and call me when it came in, still no call. I called last week but could not talk to anyone but left my number but my call was not returned. I called today 7/5/16 and all i got was a runaround and a apology from the cashier and was told again the part was not available. I do not feel that i need to be driving with a car that could kill or injure me. If they cannot repair my car i feel that they should loan me a car that is safe until the part is available. If i should become fatally injured an apology will do me or my widow any justice.

I purchased this vehicle, on september 22, 2014. On october 21, the vehicle airbag light came on, i let the finance company diamond finance know that this light was on, i believe the recall should be extended to all corollas because they really are not safe and i cant even let my young children sit in the front of this car because i have no idea when this airbag will inflate. The car is also making a horrible loud noise, and the re is something definitely wrong with the coolant system on this car.
Takata recall, i called boch toyota several times to get an appointment for my car and i'm told that i'm on a list and they only get a few air bags for replacement at one time. This is been going on for almost a year. I still get recall notices from toyota corp.please advise.

I purchased a brand new 2007 toyota corolla le in june 2007. On june 2, 2015, airbag malfunction light came on on display. Following "owner's manual" that came with vehicle, i contacted a local toyota dealer, who scheduled me for a june 11, 2015 appointment. Upon taking my car to toyota dealer for investigation on what could be wrong, toyota dealer found left front srs sensor to have failed and center srs sensor is poor/intermittent signal. I asked toyota dealer what caused these sensors to be defective, toyota dealer said they did not know. I then asked implication(s) of defective sensors, toyota dealer said in the event of impact airbags will not deploy. I contacted toyota using online form (http://www.toyota.com/support/#!/app/ask) on june 14, 2015. Toyota called me on june 15, 2015 but did not offer an explanation that sounded reasonable. I was told by toyota representative (rep) that it could be from wear. I asked toyota how sensors can get damaged if nothing has ever been in area of sensors location to cause any wear or damage. I then told her i have only had routine maintenance done such as oil change, air filter change, tire replacement etc done and that i have never been in a crash for as long as i have owned the vehicle. I then asked her how long sensors can be expected to last without damage and/or wear and she did not know. She said manager of toyota dealer who diagnosed the problem will contact me on june 17, 2015. Something tells me toyota is not going to accept this is toyota's fault hence i am filing this complaint.

Several months ago, i was notified that my car was affected by the takata airbag recall. According to the recall information online, my car is not required to be fixed until between 2017 and 2019. The corolla i drive is my main source of transportation for my child and his friends, yet it is recommended that i not drive with anyone in the front passenger seat. This is unacceptable to me. I have the car fully paid off, it is in decent condition, yet i cannot use it in the manner for which it was purchased. I think toyota should give me full market value for what the car is worth so i can purchase another safer car. I will still lose in the end, as i intended to drive this car for a few more years. But at least i can drive my child and his friends safely.

Regarding: the recall on the airbag (june of 2015 with a letter received in september) there is no solution except to "not use the passenger seat."i have no way to carry 5 passengers without endangering 1 person in the passenger seat.toyota headquarters strung the call out thenfinally said i could have a loner but would only give his first name (vince.)but my local dealer, grossinger at 1561 n fremont chicago il 60642 put me on hold. I had no response from leaving a message or e-mail.when i took my car in for service the service representative just said "call."when i called grossinger they told me that they don't provide loaners.when i called northside toyota peter solber told me that there is a waiting list and he can't guarantee a car when i would need carry 5 passengers.he provided no other solution.as of 9/30/2015 there is no safe solution for carrying passengers.

I received a safety recall notice from toyota stating that i need a new passenger air bag immediately. I contacted toyota of tampa bay on 7/22/2015 and was told they were out of stock, but would order me one for my particular vin # so that i would be able to have one installed as soon as possible. I have contacted toyota of tampa bay several times since then and keep being i told i will be called back and never receive a call back. The recall notice states that it is not safe to drive the vehicle, but i can't get toyota to correct the issue. My most recent call to toyota of tampa bay was this afternoon on 9/5/2015.
I received a notification from toyota yesterday regarding the recall for passenger side airbags.the recall lettersays that the inflator can rupture "striking the vehicle occupants potentially resulting in serious injury or death."it says the repairs should be performed immediately and that the front passenger seat should not be occupied.after contacting my toyota dealership, i learned that i cannot be seen for almost 3 months to get the necessary repairs completed.i contacted the customer experience center to file a complaint and they suggested i contact the local dealership for a rental.the dealership reports they are not giving rentals (even on an as needed basis) due to the sheer numbers of recalls they are handling...i am severly concerned that such a strongly worded recall went out reporting that the "occupants" (not one) could be injured related to this defect and yet there is a 3 month delay in repairing my vehicle.it appears that this issue is related to humidity and i live on the gulf coast where it is always humid and moist.it is distressing to me that i am now expected make arrangements with other people or another vehicle if i need to transport five people in my (as i did this weekend with my nieces and nephews).it is annoying that any other passenger would be expected to ride in the back and hope that they are not one of the occupants affected by metal fragments that could pass through the airbag.....while i am certain this is very difficult for toyotal to manage, it is disappointing to me that it is acceptable for me to be allowed to drive this car for an additional 3 months knowing the risk.i am hoping that someone can look into how toyota is handling the recall and if they are seriously taking into consideration the safety of those who were unlucky enough to choose toyota years ago (a mistake i will not make in the future)....updated 10/20/15updated 2/24/2016updated 12/05/2017

The contact owns a 2007 toyota corolla. The vehicle was purchased brand new in 2007. Two months after the vehicle was purchased, the factory alarm system engaged intermittently. The dealer repaired the alarm failure. In september of 2011, the check engine warning indicator illuminated. On february 21, 2012, a warning indicator illuminated.

The dealer produced a failure code detected for the torque converter clutch lock up and recommended that the transmission assembly be replaced. On february 24, 2012, an ecm recall repair was performed. Also in 2012, the contact noticed rust on the hood of the vehicle and small white circles (the size of basketballs) on the rear bumper and trunk. Two years later, leopard like spots were present on the roof of the vehicle. The manufacturer and dealer were notified of the defects. The manufacturer scheduled an appointment with the dealer in december of 2016 for diagnostic testing. The dealer determined that there were only paint chips on the vehicle and failed to include the extensive amount of rust on the roof. The service manager informed the contact that they would use oxidation on the vehicle regarding the rust. The manufacturer stated that the paint used on the vehicle was environmentally safe. In addition, the contact received a recall notice for the air bags. It was unknown if the notice pertained to the passenger or driver side air bag.

I received a notice back in july informing me about the recall in the air bag of my car. I called around august, the parts were not available. I called again today to precision toyota in tucson and the parts are not available. This is completely absurd. I cannot have a passenger in the front seat until the issue fixed; it's been 5 months. This is absolutely dangerous and unsafe. Toyota needs to resolve this issue asap or provide some sort of compensation. They should be able to provide a rental car since it is a manufacturer defect. I don't have time to be calling toyota all the time regarding the availability of parts. Action needs to be taken at this point.

I received a letter from toyota in june of 2015 informing me that the front passenger airbag inflator module was being recalled and until it could be fixed, they recommended not operating the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat.approximately five months have passed and the parts to fix the defect are still unavailable, which i believe to be an unreasonably long time frame given the safety risks this defect presents.

Received "urgent" letter and two urgent emails from toyota on my air bag inflator recall.they said to contact them immediately for repair scheduling.called local dealer and was told it is a seven month waiting list for the parts.this is ridiculous, why were their contacts to me so urgent.i then called toyota's customer service 800 number (1-888-270-9371), their pre-recorded message prior to connecting me to an agent said after my call i'd be able to take a customer satisfaction survey.after talking to the agent about my dissatisfaction with the "urgent contacts" and seven month wait.they refused to let me take the customer survey.this was a flat out refusal, they would not even forward me in to the survey.

Today, i received a recall notice on this car for the front passenger airbag inflator model. The notice said that no remedy was yet available. I called the toyota dealer and they verified this and said they did not know when a remedy would be available. The notice advises that nobody should sit on the passenger side of the car until the inflator module is replaced. Injuries and death have occurred when the airbag improperly deploys. This makes it difficult for my wife and i to drive the car without fear for our safety, my other car is a 2004 honda civic which has also been recalled for, first, the passenger side airbag inflator module and, then, for the airbag inflator module on the driver's side. I've been waiting 4 months for the dealer to get the replacement parts for the driver's side, since the airbags forboth cars seem to have been manufactured by takata, it seems to me likely that the toyota will also, some day, be recalled again for the front airbag inflator module. I am complaining because it seems to me obvious that i have been driving 2 unsafe cars since the time i purchased them. Considering the danger of injury or death, it does not seem to me that the recalls are not being handled by toyota or honda in a timely manner with proper concern for the safety of the drivers and passengers of these cars. Honda did finally respond by replacing the passenger side module in april of this year, at the same time telling me i would have to wait indefinitely to replace the driver's side module. Finally, i am scheduled to have the driver's side replaced on sept. 3. Toyota can give me no date for the replacement of the passengers side and assures me that the driver's side is ok . I am doubtful.

Takata recallthe un-availability of parts to remedy the air bag problem has already exceededan excessive amount of time. We have received no notification as to when we may expect them to be shipped to our dealer.the recommendation not to operate the vehicle as is because toyota is trying to insure our safety is utter nonsense. A far better course of action is to have the air bag(s) in question deactivated.i would like to be informed as to how i may have this accomplished.

"takata recall" i took my 2007 toyota corolla in for the air bag recall to centennial toyota in las vegas, nv ,the service agent let me know the air bag indicator light still remained on after the recall service was completed. A $ 150 diagnostic charge was going to be applied to find what else be wrong with the safety equipment on the corolla. I made contact with toyota corporation to explain the dilemma.(800) 331-4331 i spoke with kristinaand was informed that recall situation has been fix and if i wanted to know what other safety issues i might be having with the air bag indicator light being on, i would have to pay for it.. I will get the diagnostic done, and report the other failed safety devices not covered by recall.
Takata recallthis recall has been in effect since october 2014 and my car has still not been fixed.i received a letter about mid way through last year notifying me of the recall. I have yet to receive any further notification about my car and how it is going to be fixed. I just spoke with a representative with the toyota customer experience center and apparently my state has had the parts for a while and has failed to notify me. Not only is this endangering my life and others, i am also currently pregnant and so it is effecting my unborn child. For something that is this dangerous, things should be going a lot quicker especially if it is recommended that you do not drive your car. There is no way for me not to be able to drive my car since october 2014! this is absolutely ridiculous!

Approximately 3 months ago i received a recall stating that due to the possibility of shrapnel, i cannot have a passenger in my front passenger seat.after calls to the dealer, and also toyota customer service, i have received no information as to when the will be able to fix the situation. Although i am lucky that my spouse has their own vehicle that we are now relying on, there are many people who may not and may risk injuring themselves/loved ones by having someone in the passenger seat when the airbag goes off and potential has shrapnel.
Corporate gave me a claim # to take to my dealership to get a "loaner" at no charge until the passenger airbag is replaced..3 dealerships said it was a rental at no charge, not a loaner, and needed my credit card #.i refused since we both have insurance.no other options were offered other than "do not use the passenger side".it's been 3 months since i received an interim recall notice. I have a family and cannot use my car to full capacity.

On a rainy october 28, 2012 sunday, i was traveling on rte. 73, in moorsetown, nj and i attempted to get off 73 and go down the rte. 295 n ramp.as i went down the ramp, i put on my brakes to slow down and all of a sudden it felt like my car was flying.the brakes locked up, the car spun around and crashed into the curb so hard on the drivers side, that it totaled the back and front rims of my tires. Then once i thanked god for not letting there be any cars around me and letting me be alright, then i attempted to move the car.i backed the car up a little bit then pressed down on brake to change gear into drive and turned steering wheel away from curb, and my car flew to the other side of the ramp and crashed into the curb on the passengers side of which damaged the front rim on that side and through all of this the air bag never ejected.i could kind of understand that it was wet and the car hydroplaned before first crash.but i don't understand how before the car took off the second time while i had my foot on the brake and barely moving, brakes were completely locked up.at this point i was scared to move the car again, so i just cut the car off and sat there for a while, then turned it back on, then it felt like brakes were alright when i pressed down on it. I took my car back to the dealer i bought it from and asked them to check the brakes and of course they said that it was nothing wrong with them.at this point and time, i do not trust this car, but i do trust god to keep me safe in this car or else i wouldn't even drive it after that episode.i needed to get 3 new rims, 1 tire, a hub cap and wheel alignment for my car and i just thank god that there was no other damages.and now i'm just waiting on the lord to give me the opportunity to get a suv and it won't be a toyota.

So far....nothing has occurred, however a known fact is more than a nuisance....not being able to use one's front passenger seat . I either do not carry passengers at all...or must insist they sit in the rear with me as chauffeur....i can imagine the scope of this issue, however i feel toyota is taking much too long in getting customers to the next step of replacing the airbag.
There is a safety recall on the front passenger air bag inflators. The recall was back in may 2015. I still to this day january 31 st 2016 have not had this taken care of. Called the dealer back in 2015 about this matter , and was told when they have the part they will contact me. This has not been done.

Tokatarecallin august 2015 toyota informed me that my corolla was part of the recall program to replace the airbags which were subject to spewing shrapnel when discharged.i went to the local dealer to get the replacementcompleted, showing them the notice i received.the dealer, smart toyota (563.388.6880) informed methat the replacement parts were not available yet, and that i should receive another letter when the the parts were on hand and could be installed.i checked with them again on 9 october to learn whether the parts were available.i received the same answer as i did in august at my initial visit:the parts are not available yet and that i would receive a letter informing me when they were.today is 24 december, and i still haven't received that letter.in the meantime, i am driving around in a car with airbags that could strafe me with shrapnel should i be in an accident.this is unacceptable response to a potentially life threatening defect.i feel that perhaps i should have the airbags removed or disabled until the replacement parts are available, and to rely on the safety belts for crash protection.what is the nhtsa position on this issue?

Takata recalli was sent a letter stating that toyota has completed parts preparation for my geographical area.i called toyota bountiful in bountiful, ut and they said no parts were available and would call me to schedule an appointment when parts were available.it's been a months time now and i have still not heard back from toyota bountiful.
My husband swerved to miss a car that decided to change his mind and turn left (after he started turning right), he hit the left shoulder, came back onto the road and lost control. He hit a 4 foot ditch head on and flipped the car fromto back and landed upside down.the airbags never went off, despite the fact the car was totaled.the front wind shield was destroyed.

Saturday, june 2. The driver's airbag light came on intermittently while i was driving my 2007 toyota corolla.i immediately took my vehicle to the local toyota dealer.the diagnosis was intermittent open circuit in the spiral cable. I read on the nhtsa website that this is a problem with other toyota models and years and that a recall notice was sent to owners and repairs were made at no cost to the consumer.tuesday, june 5.the defective part was replaced and i was told that toyota would not pay for the parts and labor. I spoke with the director of parts and service to ask why i was charged for the repair.he said the spiral cable was not related directly to the airbag, so it is not a recall issue; it's a part that wears out, like a worn-out tire or brake pads that one would need to replace.i told him that other toyota vehicles with defective spiral cables were repaired at no cost to the consumer. He said that there was nothing he could do to help because it was out of his hands and that i would need to call the 800 number for customer service.june 6.i called customer service and explained my concern.the representative who took my information said that i would get a call back in a day after he researched the situation.thursday, june 7. I received a call from customer service informing me that my request for toyota to pay the for the repair was denied. This is obviously a safety-related defect as other vehicles were recalled for the same reason.i was told i could drive my vehicle without the defective part replaced, but i didn't have peace of mind that it would be safe to me or to others in the event of an accident while driving; i needed to be assured that the airbag would deploy under conditions it is meant to deploy. Toyota should reimburse me for the total cost as the airbag did not meet the standards to safely operate my vehicle.

"takata recall." i am being told by the auto airbag settlement notice administrator that my 2007 toyota corolla vehicle is on the "priority 1 group" concerning the takata airbag class action suit, but the nhtsa safecar.gov information notes a 0 (zero) recall. There seems to be a contradiction between the two sources. What should be my next step?
Driving on 2 lane blacktop road, dog in my path of travel, firmly applied the brakes, car was pulled to the right, went off the road and continued to travel paralleluntil i struck a gravel entry driveway to a field with the frontof my vehicle and then flipped end over end 3 times according to witness finally resting on its top.upon looking at the scene, there was one (1)black skid mark. The highway was dry, there was a very slight incline in the road and it was a straight stretch.the weather was overcast.the insurance company would not investigate my complaint and insisted that i swerved.i called toyota and they "checked the brakes" on the totalled car and the headlight operation.i hadcalled them to figure out what had gone wrong.in their report they said there was nothing wrong with the brakes or headlights. I had reported that prior to this incident that the headlights would go on for no apparent reason at the same location (an area where my cell phone coverage would go out).the accident occurred near an airport which was another area where my cell phone coverage would go out.since i had fractured my sternum andhad the discolored imprint of the turn signal on my chest, i thought that the air bag should have deployed on first impact. I questioned the brakes and electronic/electrical system. Their report is dated 11/11/2008 and does not indicate a file or complaint number.

Dear nhtsa,today we received an interim recall notice on our 2007 toyota corolla instructing us not to drive the car with a front passenger. I contacted toyota to explain that we purchased this car specifically for my 16 year old daughter who currently has her ohio temporary drivers license.per this interim letter, toyota is telling us that she cannot drive this car we purchased specifically for her.ohio temporary driver licenses require a licensed front passenger. I was given toyota case #1508103451 by the toyota representative. I requested one of the initial recall repair appointments available.the toyota representative refused, and advised me to call a local toyota dealership to get on an initial call back list.i called metro toyota in cleveland, ohio at 888.439.0914. The service representative advised me that they are not making appointments or taking phone numbers for toyota call back appointments. The metro toyota service representative also advised it may be two months to two years before they receive parts for the takata passenger side airbag recall replacements.i am extremely disappointed in both toyota corporate usa and metro toyota.both parties appeared to be unconcerned with rendering my 2007 corolla useless for my daughter to drive for possibly two years.i believe toyota needs to step to the plate and offer us a replacement vehicle in safe non-recall condition in exchange for our 2007 corolla if they cannot provide us with a timely recall repair. My daughter needs a vehicle to drive.best regards.

Takata recall. I received a recall notice from toyota in may. In june we were told the part was in stock and made an appointment to have it installed. When we got there on 6/13 they did not have the part. I have been calling toyota customer service and the dealer several times. According to the service manager andrew baer, they have received none of the replacement parts since june 13 (today is july 27). I understand the number of recalls is large, but why send out the notice if you don't have the parts?toyota seems very cavalier in their concern about something that has resulted in severe injuries and deaths.
I believe that toyota has failed to remedy the defect within a reasonable time. My front passenger air bag has been recalled since sometime this summer. I only have 1 car and 3 kids that i take to appointments, etc. I don't understand why if something is in recall, why parts are not readily available. Please contact me with an update. Thank you.
I received notification that takata airbags are defective and to avoidpassanger to prevent serious injury or death. Why has it taken years to notify me of this?the lives on little people are that important i geuss???
My car is part of the airbag recall and i am submitting this complaint due to the prolonged amount of time the manufacturer is taking to remedy the problem. It is totally unacceptable that there isn't even any information about an approximate timeline for a fix. Rental cars with functioning passenger seats should be issued to all effected if this is not fixed soon.
Takata recall.toyota sent me a recall notice months ago, with the following text, "...we recommend that you do not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat."it also says (in red type), "we are currently preparing parts for your location; we will send you another notification once sufficient parts have been produced and the remedy can be performed."that recommendation is impossible to comply with, and toyota has offered no other remedy.from what i read in the newspapers, these takata air bags are like a loaded gun pointed at the car occupants.essentially, toyota has done nothing for me, and has only attempted to guard its own ass in case my airbag explodes and injures someone.when one uses one's seat belts (which is always in this car) there is no need for air bags.to have an air bag that actually threatens the life of the occupants is totally unacceptable.i want this airbag removed, but the recall notification makes no mention of that as a possibility.

Takata recallon but this is not under the recall, but i did see it there were recalled in europe just the other day for not going off as well as going off without being hit. I just wish mine had gone off. 09/23/2018 i was hit headon by a vehicle going 45 mph. There was no where on my front end that was not effected by the accident. Researching i found where the sensors were for the air bag, each on each side of the raditor was hit. The air bag did not deflate casing myself neck and back injury that will never repair. Pictures will show that there is no way none of the air bag sensors were not damaged or hit to advise the air bag to go off and hold the person in place so they do not get slung around like a rag doll until the accident is over. I remember seeing that the accident was going to happen, i just did not think i would of been involved in it. Unfortunately, a truck hit another vehicle which that vehicle slammed into me at full force. I first was slung into the door, the next thing i remember is my accelerator sticking so i had to turn off my key to avoid flying across a busy road. I have a buldging disc, damaged tendons and muscles. I am 61 years old and now fear that if hit ever again the air bag will not deploy.

Takata recall, air bag light wont go out

The air bag light has been coming on since 2010 i took it in to toyota and was told nothing was wrong. Light kept coming on so i took it back in (2011) again was told nothing was wrong, took the car in for a 3rd time in 2012 and was told it was a water bottle that was under the seat. I disagreed with the mechanic cause the water bottle was my daughters from that morning, i told the mechanic the bottle was still cold from that morning so that was not it but that is what they wrote was the cause of the air bag light coming on in the report. I have not taken the care back since because i don't ever get the problem resolved and don't want to pay for them to tell me its nothing, however the light does still come on and remains on for weeks sometimes months at a time. My only concern is that the airbags will malfunction and not work when they should or suddenly go off for no reason.

Takata recall.i received a recall notice from toyota in august 2015, stating that the front passenger seat should not be used until the car is repaired.toyota states that the parts are not yet available, i feel that this is an unreasonable length of time to restrict the use of the vehicle.

Driver of the vehicle was at a stop due to a wreck on interstate when the vehicle was hit by another vehicle in the back and then was pushed forward by the impact into a vehicle in front of the driver. The car was then hit in the driver's side door by another vehicle. This caused the car to spin 180 degrees. Not one airbag deployed for any of these three impacts.
I have received a recall for my car due to safety issue with the passenger air bag. The recall (nhtsa id 15v285) states that in case of an accident, the passenger might be subjected to metals through the air bag that can cause serious injury or death. I have been trying to contact the dealer in my area but with no success. Today, we are almost three months after the recall has been initiated. A non-logical solution has been proposed which is not to occupy the passengers seat. I agree that there is no injury till the date of today, but we won't wait until an accident happens to see the results. I am requesting the following:1) the dealer has to replace the air-bag with a safe one within two week of today (09/03/2015). I can't keep the passenger seat unoccupied more than this time. The car was bought to serve a driver, a passenger, and occupants in the back seat. The manufacturer and the dealer has to take their responsibility for any manufacturing error.2) in case the repair was not done within 2 weeks, i am requesting that the dealer provide me with a replacement car, free of charge and with insurance, until the repair parts are ready and the repair is done.3) a third option is that i might consider trading my car for a 2011-2013 toyota rav 4 with a payment of $4,000. This seems a reasonable solution due to the risk my family and myself are subjected due to the above manufacturing error.

2007 toyota corolla.consumer writes in regards to disabling the function of both driver side and passenger side airbags until replacement parts become available.
Made an appointment at toyota dealer. Had car inspected. Have heard nothing about replacement of air bags, which have been recalled
Over two months ago i received a interim safety recall notice regarding the air bags on my car informing me i can't ride in the passenger seat/or my spouse. I have spoken with toyota on 3 different occasions & have been warned not to ride in the passenger seat but they don't have a date on when my car will be fixed.i have informed them that i am planning on a trip - and don't feel i should have to ride in the back seati requested a loaner and have been told no.i didn't pay over $18,000 for a car that i can't ride in and think i have been more than patient in waiting to get my air bags fixed.when i spoke with toyota they said it the major cities are getting fixed first.i paid my car off over six years ago and feel my family's lives are worth just as much as the next person. When i purchased my car, the biggest selling features were the air bags as i have children/grandchildren and their safety is very important to me.me & my husband feel they should at least give a safe loaner vehicle so we can be safe on our trip. This is very inconvenient & feel toyota is just trying to get out of a lawsuit if there is an accident.thank you for any assistance you can give me.
At 73 miles an hour i slammed i swerved to avoid a car that had come in to my lane, i lost control and slammed in to the center divide, collided with another car and then my vehicle rolled 2-3 times and came to a stop on the drivers side.not a single air bag deployed (front or side).car was completely totaled,front was severely smashed in back was destroyed windshield and roof of car completely caved in also.
Since i have had the car i had an issues.i have changed the transmission twice.it used to blow threw brake pads until i paid to have that repaired.oil consumption was a quart now my piston isn't working.i called toyota even about safety bag recall which never got fixed.i was told there were no recalls on my car and everything was fine.when i told about air bag recall i saw on the news i was told they will be sending all the information in the mail.it never came.i would like have my money back.the cost of repairs.i have always bought toyota.this has been unfair not letting your customer receive the repairs due to them for installing faulty parts.i have done everything and now i need to get a new piston.02/082020

Takata recall - i have a safety recall notice for the front passenger airbag inflator module, telling me that i will be contacted when the "sufficient parts have been produced and the remedy can be performed."this letter is about a year old.i want to know why i have never been contacted and/or why this problem has not been addressed.this is unacceptable, and frankly a crime it itself.the letter goes on to say, "until the remedy becomes available in your location, we recommend that you do not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat."thus i have no ability to use this car fortransporting my family due to the fact that this air bag could potentially kill the front seat passenger...i would like an explanation as to why i continue to be inconvenienced by a recall that is not being addressed.

I received a safety recall note on the mail informing me of an air bag recall on the toyota corolla i drive, where they strongly recommend to fix it immediately and not to drive the car on those conditions.the solution to the problem on the note stated that any authorized toyota dealer will replace the part at no charge.i contacted arlington toyota dealer in jacksonville florida where they took my information and was told someone was going to call me back and never did.after a few weeks i decided to call them back and they told me the part is in back order and they don't know when they will get it.they were rude and not interested in fixing the problem at all.i decided to call another dealer in the area, coggins toyota at the avenues in jacksonville florida, and they took my information again and told me my part will arrived in two weeks.after waiting a month for them to call me, i decided to call them back where a customer service representative told me they don't have a solution to the problem, and i could wait several years before the part gets there.i found it unacceptable that after getting a serious recall note on the mail where they state the problem should be fix immediately, and there is the potential of a serious injury or death, nothing can get done.i need to drive my car and it is very scary i could potentially put myself or my family in danger every time i do.the recall states that there is a potential for the intrusion of moisture over timein the air bag.living in florida and having an old car increase the chances of that to happens.not driving the car is not a solution.if they are not willing to fix the problem and recommend not to drive the car, they should give a car rental at no charge to people with this problem until they fix it.

They told me they didn't have the parts and that i would receive notice when they did.on march 21 of this year i received a letter from toyota saying that toyota had completed parts preparation in my area and to take it to any dealer as soon as possible. I called frank toyota on the 21st. After being on hold for several minutes they told me they did not have the parts for my car and it would take 2 to 3 weeks. I immediately called chula vista toyota on main street and talk to javier. He told me to bring in my car anytime and they would fix it. I took it in today saturday, march 26 and it was completed.

Dealer has failed to remedy the defect in a reasonable time frame (over 1 month since first contacting dealer)
Takata recall - i received the recall notice for my vehicle and immediately called my toyota dealer to schedule an appointment for the repair to be made. The service manager told me it would be about 8 weeks until they could fix it. I asked why so long, and he informed me that toyota will only and then one part per week. I cannot believe that what seems to be a serious safety issue, is not being treated as such. I would like to know why is toyota doing this, potentially risking the lives of how many tens of thousands of people, in an effort to do what, save a buck? i would greatly appreciate an answer. Thank you, [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'

The contact owns a 2007 toyota corolla.the contact was involved in a front end collision while driving 35 mph.

Updated 08/31/11updated 2/9/12
My complaint is that toyota has known about this issue for months.the driver of the vehicle is 79 years old and takes others to the doctor on a regular basis.the fact that you acknowledge that the risk is high and all you do is advise the customer that you are working on it and not to sit in the front seat is outrageous.i feel toyota should stop selling cars and focus their attention on this item.if you really want to make a difference either fix the issue or provide a loaner that the consumer can use that does not risk the lives of the passengers.the vehicle was purchased knowing a passenger could sit in the front seat.how can a company like toyota feel this is a good resolution to an ongoing and outstanding issues.i'm highly disappointed and will make sure others know how toyota treats their customers.extremely disappointed consumer!
I have to set my toyota corolla in the garage, and i had to use public transportation while these issue will be solve. I use this vehicle to transport my family of 5, to work, for school and weekends. I could not sale my car in a good price because, the possible buyers know about the recall and they offer me less money for my toyota corolla. Practically i lost a lot of money due to this recall. Also i have issues with the body paint due the car is parking on a out side parking, the rain, the sun and the weather condition is damaging my car.in conclusion, buying this car result in lost a lot of money,

On november 26, 2013 at about 5 pm i drove out of a parking lot in the left lane taking a left turn and continued driving with the flow of traffic in the left lane, which was about 30 miles per hour; it was dark and starting to drizzle;i was wearing my seatbelt;i was suddenly hit from behind by a car and we crashed into the car in front of me;immediately upon rear impact i was thrown into the steering wheel at an angle hitting my sternum on the right side of the steering wheel;my injuries were a severely bruised sternum, and continuing neck and back injuries; my car was totaled;i contacted toyota on november 30, 2013 to complain as my air bag did not deploy and my seatbelt did not lock;on january 16, 2014 i received a letter from toyota stating that they inspected the car on december 23, 2013; i was told that i would receive a copy of the inspection, which i did not;the response from toyota was that for the non-deployment of the air bag it was determined that the rear of the other vehicle overrode the front bumper of my vehicle;for the seatbelt failing to lock it was determined that there were no abnormalities observed with the seatbelt and latched;i am requesting an investigation of my complaint;although toyota is stating that the seatbelt latched and released as designed my concern is not that the seatbelt latched and released but that the seatbelt failed to lock and i know that the seatbelt did not lock because if it had worked properly i would not have slammed into the steering wheel and the air bag did not deploy;toyota stated that the inspection determined that the incident was not a result of a manufacturing or design defect;my complaint is not that the incident was causedby a defect with the car as that was caused by the other driver but that if the air bag and seatbelt functioned as expected, my injuries may have been avoided or not as severe.

I bought the car in october with a recall notice that they would not work on.the only solution from oct till april was to "not operate with passenger in the front seat" i am really disappointed with toyotafor taking so long to fix the problem knowing that people are going to ride in the front seat and that they may be at risk!!!!!!i just got it fixed by asking the dealer if the recall could be done yet.the notice came in the mail the next week.i have had other recalls on other vehicles never anything thisimportant and there was never a delay once notified.

I had my car scanned to find out why my air bag light was and the fault code was b1811 open for driver squidb circuit. They checked and found that my clock spring was bad. The part number was1 84306-02110 cable sub. This is a dealer item from toyota. I got the part from kings toyota in cinnainnti ohio. I work for another dealer and had them put in on for me,. I did receive a discount on both the labor and the part. I have called toyota to see if my car was on the recall list and it is not. This was my air bag and i got told by our service tech that my air bag would not go off if i had a front end was in a wreck. This isa safety issue. I don't see how my car is not on the recall list when i did have air bags issues. I do have a copy of the service work order.

Takata recalli'm really disappointed with toyota that i haven't gotten a new passenger air bag yet! i have been waiting since june and it has been almost 6 months now that i've had to depend on other people to drive us places. I'd like to get a new passenger air bag asap otherwise i may never buy a toyota again. Until this recall i've been happy with my toyota, but this has changed things. I hope to hear from toyota soon so that my passenger air bag can be replaced.

Takata airbagrecall letter received last year. Called toyota over the past months, dealership which sold us the car (caldwell toyota no longer a toyota dealership and couldn't help us) and a recommended dealership nearby. No one could give us answers or help. We were told we could get a loaner. Dealership wanted us to go with them to rent a car and someone would reimburse us (paul miller). I cannot efficiently carpool with teen daughter's teammates and friends. Toyota assured me last year that parts were going to southern "warm" states first and then would get to northeast. Keep calling service center or wait for letter announcing parts are in.in sept. I was told more cars were involved than originally thought. Remedy could take longer. They told me to keep calling toyota as well for updates. In october i was assured that the driver's side was not impacted. If the "airbag" light is consistently on i can bring car to have airbag deactivated. Apparently no airbag is safer than a faulty one that can impale my with [xxx] children!!!??? shame on all involved in this. I am a mother of a teen who soon will be learning to drive - is it safe to have the adult driver in the backseat with the restricted driver in the front alone? my mother is 92 and my mother-in-law is 87 i am their main source of transporatation. I drive disabled and elderly parishioners from my church to church events, shopping and errands. I bought a car with 2 front seats and three in the back because i need them all! this recall has been frustrating and an energy drainer, this recall affects my life every day. Being an optimist and my "things could be worse" attitude have probably not been helpful in getting answers and solutions...i am losing my patience. Any help you can give would be much appreciated.

Takata recall, we were notified years ago and when contacted the dealer in our area was told no parts were available and the south would be serviced first.also the dealer indicated they would contact us.received a phone call today encouraging us to call dealer again. Once again told south serviced first, they would contact us - could take up to 6 months.i think toyota/takata should by back the cars (at a replaceable price of a car of our choice - ie differentmake).

Takata recall:i received the safety recall notice (interim notice) re the front passenger airbag inflator module from toyota months ago, though i noticed that there is no date on it.it states:". . . We will send you another notification once sufficient parts have been produced and the remedy can be performed."i've heard nothing since.news of another automobile manufacturer's recall prompted me to wonder why i haven't heard from toyota again after all this time.i called a local toyota dealership and they advised that they have the parts needed and scheduled a service appointment for tomorrow, for which i am grateful.my complaint is the fact that i have heard nothing from toyota after the interim notice even though those "sufficient parts have been produced and the remedy can be performed."i wonder how many other toyota owners are still out there waiting for "another notification," which may or may notbe sent to them.i hope toyota is being held accountable regarding getting the notifications to toyota owners in a timely manner.i don't think the company did that in my case.

Takata recall. I'm handling this for my 82 year old mother. We have gotten nothing but the run around for months. We have called two different dealer in our area in an attempt to get the part(s) ordered to remedy the situation to no avail.

Saturday, june 2. The driver's airbag light came on intermittently while i was driving my 2007 toyota corolla.i immediately took my vehicle to the local toyota dealer.the diagnosis was intermittent open circuit in the spiral cable. I read on the nhtsa website that this is a problem with other toyota models and years and that a recall notice was sent to owners and repairs were made at no cost to the consumer.tuesday, june 5.the defective part was replaced and i was told that toyota would not pay for the parts and labor. I spoke with the director of parts and service to ask why i was charged for the repair.he said the spiral cable was not related directly to the airbag, so it is not a recall issue; it's a part that wears out, like a worn-out tire or brake pads that one would need to replace.i told him that other toyota vehicles with defective spiral cables were repaired at no cost to the consumer. He said that there was nothing he could do to help because it was out of his hands and that i would need to call the 800 number for customer service.june 6.i called customer service and explained my concern.the representative who took my information said that i would get a call back in a day after he researched the situation.thursday, june 7. I received a call from customer service informing me that my request for toyota to pay the for the repair was denied. This is obviously a safety-related defect as other vehicles were recalled for the same reason.i was told i could drive my vehicle without the defective part replaced, but i didn't have peace of mind that it would be safe to me or to others in the event of an accident while driving; i needed to be assured that the airbag would deploy under conditions it is meant to deploy. Toyota should reimburse me for the total cost as the airbag did not meet the standards to safely operate my vehicle.

Re:2007 toyota corolla ce, purchased in july 2007, approx. 15,000 miles.on 7/29/09, car stalled to a complete stop while driving.luckily, i was not driving on the highway (i-95) as i normally do.stalled on my block after i made turn into street.after a minute, was able to restart with minimal engine power to travel another 100 feet.had to repeat this until i reached my driveway.car was towed to dealership.they told me that this was a defect (wire for the computer dislodged or fell off and caused the problem).there was no indication that this was going to happen.no time to pull off to side of the road.only "check engine" light appeared when trying to restart engine.this is a very dangerous situation and without some indication that this will happen, there could have been a serious accident resulting in injury or worse.dealer replaced the part that day.
On august 7, 2011 when i got off of work i started my 2007 toyota corolla and i noticed that the engine light was on and it wasn't on when i drove to work earlier. On the way home i noticed the car started to sound funny then the battery light and oil light came on and suddenly the car started to loose power. I suddenly try to speed up to get into a parking light before the car shut off but it wont accelerate, i made it into the parking light and the car jus shut off while in drive. So i turn off the car and try to restart it but it wont start. So i had to leave the car in the parking light and catch a ride home. The next morning i went back to get the car it started but then it shut off, igot the battery checked and it was good. I got the car towed to the toyota dealership and they told me that they have to replace the computer. I'm very upset because now i don't have no transportation and i have to work also i'm scared i fixed it and it go bad again and my car only have 19,800 miles on it.
While driving on the highway, the rpms dropped and there was a total loss of power.i had to coast to the side of the highway, the engine light came on.the car had approx. 19,500 miles on it.i had the car towed to the dealer and they replaced the computer module and the fuel pump.four days later the car died again while driving and i had to have it towed a second time and the dealer replaced the fuel pump and gasket.the car has 26,000 miles on it now and has not repeated this incident.needless to say, my perception of quality is negative.
I planned a 200-mile (one way) vacation over memorial day weekend, may 28 - 31, 2010.i had no signs of car troubles at the start of my vacation on may 28 and no car troubles during my vacation.however, as i was getting ready to drive the 200 miles back home on may 31, i started my car, but it died.i started it again, and it died.i made sure the accessories were off and that nothing was draining the battery.i then started the car again, and the engine ran for 30 seconds and then died.since the car was still covered by the manufacturer's warranty, i called toyota roadside assistance and the toyota dealership, but the dealership's service department was closed for the holiday.with no way to get back home, i had no choice but to request a day off from work the next day, june 1, and contacted toyota roadside assistance again.they towed my car to the dealership for inspection and repair.after they had a chance to review, they told me the computer/ecm (electronic control module)/ecu (electronic control unit) failed, and it was causing an electrical short to the entire car's electrical system.they replaced the ecm free of charge.while i am very thankful i was parked and in a safe location (not driving on the highway), this should not happen to a fairly new car with under 36,000 miles.i searched complaints, and it appears others have had the same issue with their 2005 - 2007 corollas.toyota issued a tsb but did not mail it to all their potentially affected customers.toyota should be required to fix these cars instead of waiting for their customers to complain and tow it to the dealership when their cars break down!
Started car in december 2015, two weeks before christmas. Dash lights did not come on automatically as they always did at night, nor did they come on after manually turning them on, but after 10 minutes of driving they came on. Next night again no lights, this time i hit a bump, dash lights flashed on then off again until next bump in road and came on and stayed on. Next night, no lights. Hit bumps in road but still no lights. My dash lights never came on again. I looked online and found that post after post after post of 2007 toyota corolla owners are experiencing same problem. That's when i found out i also had no tail lights! mechanic checked fuses and tail light relay, all fine. Checked for loose wires, no loose wires. Mechanic puzzled. Walnut creek toyota dealer wants $350.00 just to look at it. After seeing all these posts with same problem, toyota dealer should know what it is! i hope this will become a recall.
2007 corolla engine light came on and within a couple of minutes, engine totally died. Corolla would not restart. Car was towed to dealer where engine computer was replaced.
Check engine light came on 11/14/10 and car started slam shifting, and died on freeway. The car started again, and i took it to xx in moreno valley next day. Dealer said faulty ecu (dtc p2716) and the part must be ordered. I asked if they could provide a loaner car because i don't feel safe driving the car with a faulty ecm. I was told part will most likely be in tuesday or wednesday. The dealer said a loaner car would not be provided unless the car totally stop operating. I live in san bernardino and work in moreno valley, approx 26 miles one way. I have aaa towing basic for 6 miles. I would usually purchase aaa southern ca automobile club towing for up to 100 miles, but because i bought a new reliable toyota, i just got the basic towing in case the battery died. I don't have towing to get the car to moreno valley in case it completely stops running. I'm worried about safety and logistics! i don't trust this toyota corolla. Dealer will not keep the car and give me a loaner until the part arrives. Will toyota be responsible if this car stalls again in traffic and causes an accident?will toyota be responsible if this car needs to be towed to the dealer? will toyota be responsible if the transmission becomes damaged from the hard shifting? will toyota be responsible if the car catches fire from faulty electrical wiring? this corolla has had brake and steering problems.brake fluid always low, although brakes verified as repaired and okay by technician. The wheel bearing on the front driver's side wheel is going bad and the tire will not hold air. The tire has been examined and is good. I smell electrical burning once in awhile. The belt tensioner pulley bearing bad. Occasionally, smell antifreeze, which indicates a leaking head gasket.wind noise, windows creak when moved up/down. The locks squeak. The interior rattles. The paint job is runny, weld points are sloppy. Car stalling, slam shifting, then cutting off. The car has a little over 50,000 miles.

The contact owns a 2007 toyota corolla. The contact statedthat while driving 5 mph, the check engine warning light illuminated and the vehicle stalled. He was able to restart the vehicle; however, it became difficult to shift gears. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where he was advised that the ecm needed to be replaced. The contact was referred to the dealer where the vehicle was waiting to be repaired. The contact stated that the safety related defect could potentially cause a crash to occur. The failure mileage was 100,002. Updated 6/19/10 updated 07/19/10.
My 2007 toyota corolla's engine shut off as i was getting off the entrance ramp to a busy highway.i was able to glide the car to the side of the rode.i restarted the car and pressed down the accelerator and the car would not go (even when i pressed the accelerator to the floor).the car shut off again.i restarted it, it lurched forward and immediately shut off again.i could not restart it again.the check engine, oil light, and battery light all came on but only the check engine light remained on.i had the car towed to the local toyota dealer and they determined the problem was the ecu.
1. Pulled up to a red traffic light and stopped2. Car stalled and would not restart. Called a wrecker to tow car to toyota dealership. Traffic was blocked for around 30 minutes. We were in danger of being rear ended the entire time.3. Toyota dealership said the ecu had failed and they installed a new one.
Had been driving my car for 10 minutes when the lights started to flicker.i started to slow and then the car died.there wasn't any power and i was unableto steer the car.fortunately, there was very light traffic at 0613 and no one hit my car.this has never happened before.my parents arrived within 15 minutes.my dad cleaned the battery terminals and the battery did spark.car would not restart.a few people helped us push the car off the road.towed to closest, reputable, mechanic.main fusible link blown.wiring w/o rating.mechanic called toyota and there wasn't any literature available to give mechanic the rating.toyota refused to send wiring diagram.mechanic found online and still no info on rating.replaced with heaviest rating available.problem fixed and unable to duplicate what caused problem.most concerning is that mechanic cannot guarantee that this will not happen again.car then to toyota dealership.they were also unable to duplicate problem and cannot guarantee that it will not happen again.toyota customer service was most unhelpful, implying that i had somehow caused the problem.also, indicated that i should have gone to toyota dealership first.car no longer under warranty so i have no obligation to do go to them for service.
The ac is not working properly, maybe the condenser or fan or both
My 2007 toyota corolla totally died while i was driving in the middle of the street.i was told by the toyota dealer the computer chip in the car was to be replaced. This is my new car and it is not supposed to do that. I am having ongoing problems with ever since i bought it.
2007 toyota corolla experiencing throttle surging.the consumer stated the vehicle took off suddenly. He applied the brake as hard as he could, but before the vehicle stopped it crashed into a heavy tool box and some other containers and into the back wall of the garage.the bumper was damaged. The second time, while backing out of the garage, the vehicle suddenly took off again. He immediately applied the brake forcefully, but the vehicle did not stop before he reached the street. There was no damage. The third time, the vehicle suddenly surged forward in the midst of stop and go traffic. Fortunately, there was space between it and the car ahead, so he was able to stop before contact. The consumer also stated he had problems with the door and ignition. He had four different batteries in the vehicle since it was purchased. He was told that the first two had bad cells in them.
I was driving uphill on a one-way street in downtown when i saw and heard the sparks about 1 minute apart from each other on the front left side between the crack of the hood, the car lost power and turned off. I started it again, and it only moved about two feet and turned off. The car started to roll back, and the steering wheel locked making it impossible to steer. An unknown driver who was in front of us was merging to park to the right told us to get off because the car was on fire, next the smoke was visible. It began to smell like burned plastic, and then we saw the thick grey smoke coming through the crack of the hood. I pulled the hand emergency brake to stop the car from rolling back down any further. I opened the hood we all got out of the car.i went back inside the car to unhooked the harness off my dog. I was so scared that i couldn't release my dog, and my son's girlfriend helped me, and we got my dog out. My son, his girlfriend and i got the super-size large drink we just bought at mcdonald's and dumped on the fire with the help of the unknown man who got a bucket of some liquid possibly water from the hotel next to us, and the fire was out. I was so terrifying of how rapid my car caught on fire and how fast everything happening. My car was well maintained by toyota regularly, and the mechanic told us that there is no known reason why the fire started. Toyota has replaced the defected computer twice, the transmission once, i had two electrical problems in the past, and i do not feel safe in a car with so many manufacturers defective parts. Unexplainable fire, is the response i got from the insurance and repair shop which does not make me feel safe to drive a car that could caught fire at any time.
Engine stalled and does not start!
2007 toyota corolla suddenly stalled.after researching the problem it appears to be a bad ecm which appears to be a common problem for toyota corollas between the years 05 2005-2007.this is potentially a dangerous situation since the car just dies.many forums have stated that they were fortunate that they were not rear ended.since this is a known problem, toyota should recall this item and avoid potential harm to the consumer.
We own a 2007 toyota corolla four-door with a 1.8 liter dohc engine.since purchasing this car, we bought it used with low miles, we have had four engine control modules in this car.the first one was in the car when we bought it.the second was replaced free of charge by toyota in may or june of 2009 under tsb tc015-07.the third one was replaced in columbus, ga., by toyota on july 12, 2010 which we had to pay for and the fourth one was replaced on july 14, 2010 by toyota in mobile, al., free of charge under warranty...two days later.the second andthird ecm problem caused the car to stall.
Have a 2007 toyota carolla.this is what happened, me and my wife were out shopping. We went all over the place that day, we pulled in to the local walmart and the car just died. Tried to change the battery ,but nothing. Had it towed to the shop. 1 week later they said it was a fusible link. (it just burnt in half). If this had happened on the way to work on the freeway i would have been killed. Had to pay around $600 to have this fixed was over the warranty by 4000 miles.
Car was running then died in the middle of the street in traffic and would not start again. I was told that the throttle body fuse was blown and this caused the throttle body unit and the emc to overheat and burn out requiring replacement at a cost of over $2,000.00.
Yesterday our 2007 toyota corolla(13,000) stopped dead in flow of traffic on a highway-luckily we merged to shoulder narrowly missing being hit by traffic. The car was fixed w/ a new computer system. Checking if others had this problem it turns out that diagnostic code p0607 has a very bad & significant history with 2007 corolla-cars just die!!! but no recall. We almost died and similar situations have been reported.
I bought a 2007 toyota corolla about 3 years ago. I had a very bad experience on jan. 29, 2010. (1) firstly, when i got off work, i could not start the engine. I tried 3 times, and engine was finally started and both the battery and engine check lights were on. I was very worried and decided to go to a dealership the next day. (2) the next morning, i drove to a toyota dealership nearby. When i stopped at a red traffic light on my way to the dealership, my engine was shut off automatically!!! i was so nervous, quickly turned on my emergency light and tried to start the engine again. The engine was started and finally i arrived at toyota dealership. The dealer checked my car and found the engine control module went bad. They replaced it with a new ecm. The problem went away for now.my car is only about 22,000 miles. I am very concerned about the quality of toyota's electronics.
We purchased our 2007 corolla le brand new. We realized that after parking and restarting the car and commencing to drive, a loud "click" was heard from the front of the car. We brought the car to the dealer and they said the clicking noise was normal and is mentioned in the manual. I informed them that our previous corolla never had this problem and they said nothing needs to be done. If i wanted, a new computer would have to be installed but the waiting time was extensive. I refused this explanation and nothing was done. In addition, the car surges when the air con or defroster is on but again, the dealer "found nothing". Recently, one of the belts was squeaking and had to be replaced. In addition, an oil change and build-up on the battery removed. The cost - over $320. I told the dealer of the extended warranty we purchased and they told me nothing was covered. We feel that the extended warranty wasuseless and the corolla dealer just looking to make money. These incidents started in 2007 and continued to 2009.
The contact owns a 2007 toyota corolla. The contact stated that the power outlet was defective.when the power outlet was used, a burning odor would penetrate through the vents. The vehicle was taken to the dealer several times for the failure. The dealer replaced the power outlet fuse several times, but the failure was not corrected and the power outlet fuse continued to fail. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 12,000 and the current mileage was 50,000.
While driving my 2007 corolla i lost power to the engine on a busy intersection.thankfully i was not hit by oncoming traffic.got towed to a garage.received the code p0607.researched and found a tsb on this issue tsb eg042-07.my car is at 94000 miles and the tsb only covers up to 80,000.this is a known issue with 2006 and 2007 toyota's.i called toyota corporate and a ticket was generated for my case.the district manager said she would do nothing to replace this part.so much for helping a (former) reliable toyota owner.a recall was never done.i now need to replace a computer for $900 on a 3 year old car.this is a major safety issue.i see many others have had this same issue.i see that the nhtsa has begun an investigation on this.i hope that toyota does not get away with this!
Total engine failure while driving, all dash warning lights came on and then total failure of all power. Car towed to dunning toyota, ann arbor mi.dealer replaced electric engine control computer...covered under warranty.
2007 toyota corolla. Consumer states that the vehicle's engine began to speed up by itself while driving.the consumer also stated the engine light illuminated. The consumer stated he was involved in a car accident while waiting at a light. When the light turned green, he removed his foot from the brake pedal when suddenly the vehicle accelerated and the consumer hit the vehicle in front of him, and then another vehicle rear ended him. The vehicle was taken to the repair shop to have the necessary repairs made and to see why the vehicle was accelerating on its own. A few months later, the engine light illuminated again. The dealer informed the consumer the ecu needed to be replaced. Also, the air bag light illuminated and there was a knocking noise coming from the engine.
Looked up a recall on the emc of 2007 toyota corollas. My car was rear ended on 12/31/2014. Ever since, my car has been having electrical problems. My radiator fan is not working and had to be hot wired by a mechanic for it to stay on while running. My ac is not working, my shifter is stuck in park which is caused by a bad solenoid. I have had it inspected for over 8 hours by certified mechanics at midas, and they couldn't fix it. They said that every test they did was reading that nothing was wrong but my ac and radiator fan and solenoid are not working. My car stalls out occasionally, it wont start sometimes, and it is idling louder than before.
I was driving in the rain one day and my vehicle just stalled out.i had not driven through high water, or had any brake issues, but the car stalled.went to turn the next corner after i had restarted it, and it stalled again.this happened 4 times in a row.i took it into the shop and they could not find a problem with my vehicle.the problem still occurs about once a week.
Read a story in usa today about the stalling problem with the 2007 toyota corolla. Asked my dealer about the problem, they didn't hear about it. Two months later while heading on vacation to canada on aug. 7, 2010, car stalled infront of mall in victor new york. After a few minutes, car started. Went to fill up gas tank (was at 1/4 tank). Couldn't start the car again. Called aaa. When tow truck came, we were able to start again. He followed me to parts store, it was closed. Followed him to his home to do some checking. Wouldn't start. Towed to lebrun toyota in canadadequa new york. They replace ecu monday morning. Lebrun was great at fixing the problem quick.
While driving on a crowded 4 lane street in wadsworth ohio , my car suddenly lost acceleration, it did not stall but the check engine light came on and the speed reduced to 5 to 10 miles instantly with busy traffic all around me, i put my hazard lights on right away because there were cars coming behind me at normal speed, i slowly moved my car cautiously to the furthest right lane, where i was able to go into a parking lot.this has happened on several occasions, i was able to get the car to my mechanic where he hooked it up to a computer analyzer, the result showedthat the control module performance code p0607, which is a computer malfunction, we have contacted a toyota dealer, we have an appointment for them to do there own diagnosis, and hopefully fix the problem, in the mean time i cannot drive car and not worry about my safety on the road.
Car failed state inspection once (emissions) because car's computer would not communicate with the testing equipment. Dealer retested and got it to pass / work.two weeks later, the car, which never had any engine light indications stopped in city driving. The engine light came on and 3 seconds later the engine stopped. Had to drift over to the side of the road and have car towed. Engine would restart but not stay on for more than 1 minute.dealer replaced the car's computer module (ecu).
A/c blows hot on driver side and cold on passenger side until it cuts of and blows only hot air. Also front end suspension problems repeatedly. Finally its under recall for takata airbags.
The contact owns a 2007 toyota corolla. While the contactwas driving 25mph the contact attempted to accelerate andnoticed that the vehicle would not travel higher than a speed of 25mph. The vehicle was taken to the dealership where the contact had the ecu replaced. The current and failure mileages were 25000.
2007 corolla le, auto transmission began to shift violently.engine check light came on and the car became sluggish.brought the vehicle into service and was informed that the ecu was bad and replacement was needed.i was told that this is a very common issue and toyota released a tsb in 2007.the technician replaced the ecu only to find out that the replacement was bad as well.
The contact owns a 2007 toyota corolla. The contact stated that the vehicle randomly stalled without warning more than once and the service engine light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the remote starter installed by another dealer was repaired incorrectly. The dealer that installed the remote starter stated that they completed the repair correctly. The service engine light continued to randomly illuminate. The vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 10v384000 (engine and engine cooling). The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided no repair solution. The contact was advised to take the vehicle to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The vin and failure mileage was not available.
Key can be removed while car is out of park. It doesn't even have to be turned all the way off to remove it. It can be removed while in position for the radio playing while not running. Haven't tried this while moving for obvious reasons.
My 2007 toyota corolla sport just shut itself off without any warning while driving up a hill.it has done this several times since this first incident and my father-in-law who it a mechanic diagnosed the problem as a faulty ecm. According to him there are a lot of shops in our area that have had to replace them.the dealer even has the new updated part in stock, which means they know it is a problem.do i have any recourse with all of toyota's electrical problems?
Gentle persons i would like draw your attention to a safety issue associated with my vehicle (toyota corolla 2007, vin: [xxx]) listed on nhtsa web site.http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/recalls/recallresults.cfm?start=1&searchtype=drilldown&type=vehicle&year=2006&make=toyota&model=corolla&component_id=0&typenum=1&submit=retrieve+recalls&printversion=yesi have been experiencing similar sudden stop problem while driving.nhtsa campaign id number: 10v384000 nhtsa action number: 2 investigations found component: engine and engine cooling summary:toyota is recalling certain model year 2005-2008 corolla and corolla matrix vehicles. The engine control module (ecm) for the subject models equipped with the 1zz-fe engine and two-wheel drive may have been improperly manufactured. There is a possibility that a crack may develop at certain solder points or on varistors on the circuit board.consequence:there are a variety of warnings and consequences associated with the defect. The engine warning lamp could be illuminated, harsh shifting could result, the engine may not start, or the engine could shut off while the vehicle is being driven. An engine shutoff while the vehicle is being driven increases the risk of a crash.i have been experiencing sudden stops of my vehiclewhile driving that is likely related to the ecm. A case has been registered with toyota national head quarter suggesting to call toyota at 800-331-4331. I called and spoke with [xxx] (april 15, 2016 at 11:05 cst). She refused to provide any help although i provided her the case number. She handled the case very rudely and unprofessional, kept me on hold for several minutes and then gave me the same case number with no further action and ended the call. I am also notifying nhtsa about the this problem.thank you, and i look forward to hearing from you. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I had my vehicle in idle and retracted my drivers side power windows down to pull my nephew into my lap to say goodbye to him. At this time about 5 minutes after starting my car the window panel, as well as below the door panel towards the speaker a heavy smell of burning plastic spread around the car and white smoke started billowing out through the slit the window glass retracts back into. At this time i shut the car off and waited until the toxic smoke had escaped. This issue with the master switch has been reported by toyota for 2009 corollas only. This could have posed a serious health risk had it gone unnoticed. After doing the diagnostic, it was found that it was in fact a faulty switch that probably "got wet". If a car is catching on fire after a simple florida rain shower, that is not the consumer's fault. Faulty manufacturing is the case here. Waiting on toyota corporate response or will seek prompt legal action.
On friday, march 12, 2010, i was driving my 2007 toyota corolla home on my lunch hour and my car stalled twice on a sharp turn. I nearly lost control on the turn because the steering became (quite unexpectedly) very difficult. At first i didn't realize the car had stalled, causing the steering problem. That was the first time the car stalled.i immediately took it to my local toyota dealership. They said it could be a computer problem, battery, alternator, etc., and they'd run diagnostics on it. After being there over four hours, all they said was that the battery was "marginal" but it took a charge. I asked about putting in a new battery and the service rep said he didn't want to do that. I wasn't charged for the diagnostic or battery charge. I believe, now that i've heard about the stall issue today in the news, that this problem is why i wasn't charged for the diagnostic test; however, i was not informed there have been problems with stalling.
Shortly after having the ssp, computer replaced under recall, the check engine light started to come on and go off intermittently.i brought it to the dealership to have it checked out and was told that the fault code #741 was a transmission code and they had top remove the pan to check it out for a cost of $350.00.we are the first owners of this car and being in the auto field for over 30 years i told them that the transmission felt no different than the day we got the car and suggested that the problem might be in the computer that was replaced but they insisted that they would have to remove the pan to investigate and wouldn't even consider the possibility that the computer might be the problem.i refused to be charged $350.00 to have them find what i already knew and then incur other charges for them to troubleshoot to find the true cause of the light. I have been having this problem ever since the computer was changed on 3/10/11 until now 5/13/15. The light will come on and stay for 2 or 3 days and then go off for about the same time. Has anyone else complained about check engine light problems after having the computer replaced under the recall ?there was never a check engine light until the computer was replaced and i have been ignoring the light now .if something shows up that is valid i won't pay attention because of this and possibly cause some damage to the vehicle.
My 2007 corolla stalled at an intersection. I was waiting at a stop light and then all of a sudden the engine stalled and would not start again. I called a friend who helped me push my car to the side of the road. I then called aaa and they came and towed my car to a car service. This happened at 8:30pm today and so the car service was already closed and i will have to wait till friday morning to understand what caused this. It was a harrowing and terrifying experience and i feared for my safety.
Started car this morning and the check engine light came on. Took to parts store and hooked it up to the computer and found codes (p2401, p043e, p043f, p2402, p2419) everything i have researched comes back to evap canister failure, and possible wiring failure. More research shows these issues causing people getting stranded and others with no problem other then light, and others with a strong gas smell. If this causes a gas smell, then a potential fire hazard is formed.
Experiencing air bag light on.was told at dealer i needed the air bag spiral cable replaced inside steering column. There is currently a recall the the spiral cable on certain toyota models.i question if the 2007 toyota corolla should be included in the recall as well.
I was driving in a parking lot and my engine suddenly died, for no apparent reason. I tried to restart the engine but it wouldn't start.i coasted into a spot, and then i restarted the car.this time it started fine. The engine revved loudly. I attempted to move the car forward, but it stalled again after a few feet. When i reported it to the dealer, they told me that the ecm was bad, but they could not identify what had caused the defect.
1. 08/23/2010- left for work car stalled, hard knocking in gear. Car inoperable i had it towed to the dealer where i purchased it.2. Engine control module was replaced 04/23/2009 , part # 89661-02k21,vehicle was still under warranty. This incident 08/23/2010 the service department advised the vehicle has the same issue , the engine control module which was replaced 04/23/2009 ,the engine control module at a cost of approximately $1000.00 to repair , plus the cost of a rental car. The mileage at this time is 83,419. So i am advised it is not under warranty. This same issue has occurred twice in two years. Not to mention the cost of this repair but will it happen in the next two months? it is obvious to me this vehicle has a defect. Thank goodness the car behind me was paying attention to fact i was having difficulties or an accident could have easily occurred.
I have a 2007 toyota corolla.twice the check engine light came on for a period of 24 hours and then went off for a week.i took the car to the toyota dealer and they replaced the computer.i am reporting this as i know there is serious concern about the computer electronic system in the toyotas.i thought this piece of information might be helpful to you.
The contact owns a 2007 toyota corolla. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced a complete loss of power. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign numbers: 10v384000 (engine and engine cooling) and 15v285000 (air bags). The parts to do the repair were unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. Bay ridge toyota (6401 6th ave, brooklyn, ny) was contacted, but was unable to perform the repair. The failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the ecu was defective. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was taken to plaza toyota (2721 nostrand ave, brooklyn, ny) where it was confirmed that the failure was related to nhtsa campaign number: 10v384000 (engine and engine cooling); however, they refused to perform the repair free of charge because the previous dealer documented that the recall repair was completed. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and did not offer any assistance. The failure mileage was 89,074.
My daughter's 2007 corolla "check engine light" illuminated while driving back to college on 8/29/10. She stated that the car started to jerk periodically also. She was able to drive home safely the following day and i took it to my mechanic on 8/30/10. He said that there was a bulletin released regarding a recall on the ecm and to take it to the dealer for repair. I took it to toyota mall of georgia and handed the service rep the printout of the bulletin and explained what had happened. I asked him if this had to do with the recent recall - he said that this wasn't recent since the date on the bulletin was 2007. He said probably the ecm needed to be replaced and would call when he knew for sure. A few hours later he said that the ecm was replaced at no charge.in the interim, i had done some research and found that there was a recall bulletin issued on 8/26/10 so when i picked up the car later that evening, i questioned a different service rep and he said he didn't know about any recall! huh? didn't the other rep tell me that this was from 2007? i said why did you replace the ecm then, he said because there is a start up issue with the ecm. I told him we weren't having start up trouble, but that the engine light came on and the car started to jerk. I told him what i had learned about the engine stalling while driving and asked him if these issues were fixed with this replacement and he said no, just the start up issue!! he said since there wasn't a recall on the stalling issue, they couldn't fix this. I was totally confused and did not feel safe putting my daughter back in that car. Now i see all these complaints going back to 2007 regarding this. Toyota has known about this for 3 years and has done nothing to inform the public. Meanwhile my daughter has basically been driving a time bomb for the past 3 years!! i don't feel that the replacement has corrected the problem, so now what is my recourse?please help!

I have been experiencing sudden stops of the vehicle while driving that is likely related to the ecm. A case has been registered with toyota national head quarter suggesting to call toyota at 800-331-4331. I called and spoke with [xxx]. She refused to provide any help although i provided her the case number r. She handled the case very rudely and unprofessional, kept me on hold for several minutes and then gave me the same case number with no further action and ended the call.thank you, and i look forward to hearing from you.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

My 2007 toyota corolla with approximately 68,000 miles is suddenly having harsh to violent transmission shifts after the check engine light came on.i had a shop identify or diagnose the check engine light code.they said it was code p2716.i conducted an internet investigation and discovered several people also experiencing identical issues.also, the same investigation revealed toyota was aware of the issue and released a technical service bulletin.to me, the problem is not an issue of wear and tear.instead, it's clear there's a defect in a part of the car which can potentially lead to an accident.
When i was backing out my 2007 toyota corolla the engine stalled (had the airconditioner at full blast as it was a hot day). Fortunately, i successfully restarted it and promptly drove it to the toyota dealership (brought it first to firestone autocare but they advised me to bring it to toyota). They found out that the car was jumpy specifically when backing out. It was running funny even when moving forward. Before they fixed the car, they asked me if my car was still under warranty - (3 years or 36000 miles whichever comes first) and i told them that it was not. They told me afterwards that they had to replace the ecu unit and that i don't have to pay anything because it was still under warranty which i found strange as i was given the impression that the car was not under warranty.
My check engine light came on a few months ago, and then turned off. My transmission started shifting rough and jerking between gears - particularly going in and out of reverse.a few weeks later my dash light went out, and my tail lights stopped working. I called toyota, and they had me come in to the dealership to have my ecu re-calibrated. Rather than re-calibrating it, i was told after the appointment that they had replaced the ecu. The replacement ecu was installed on august 7, 2010. They were unable to help me with the lighting problem because they said it was a fuse problem. None of my fuses are blown.the car does not have as hard of a time shifting between gears as it did before the ecu replacement, but now i am hardly able to accelerate up the hill to my house. My engine revs up to almost 4000rpm just trying to get up to 30mph. The engine is working hard and is loud, the car has been vibrating during acceleration, and it takes a lot of pressure on the brakes to stop the car. There was a recall announced on my car, and i went to toyota.com to check my vin. It is involved in the recall, but i already had the new part they say i need installed and the problem persists. I want to return this car.
My 2007 corolla le had 59.5k miles when check engine light lit.while driving to work my check engine light came on.i stopped by autozone and they read the code it stated replace the ecu.i took the car to the dealer and they replaced the ecu.this is very disappointing since i previously owned a 1992 toyota pesao and from 24k to 250k miles i never once had any issues with the engine or the electronics.now this car is blowing up computers at 60k?last time i buy a toyota!
Our 2007 toyota corolla's engine light had been on for a few days and then while my husband and daughter were going 60 mph down the road the car just shut off and would not start. Thank god he was on a country road and not in heavy traffic! had to tow the car to a shop to find out a few days later that the ecm is out!!! talking to toyota right now to see if they will pay to replace. I see this has been an issue for toyota corollas. Why is there not a recall yet? someone could be hurt or even killed with this problem! please help before this happens to someone. Toyota needs to get on this asap!
December 17, 2009 the ecm unit failed in our 2007 toyota corolla.engine cut off.this is a known problem. There was an angel on my daughter's shoulder as she was on a low traffic city street when this happened and she was able to pull over safely.if this had happened on the freeway it could've been deadly.
The contact owns a 2007 toyota corolla. When the contact started the vehicle in the driveway and depressed the accelerator pedal, the vehicle surged with a high rate of speed and crashed into the garage. The air bags did not deploy. There were no injuries. The insurance company had the vehicle towed and was to have a facility inspect the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000. Consumer stated unintended acceleration at great speed.
On june 13th 2011 my wife was on a ny state highway driving home from work traveling at 65mph and the car engine shut off. My wife was very lucky as she rolled to the side of highway that she was not rear ended.my wife restarted car after 15 minutes, but car shut off 2 more times. My wife was able to pull into a car repair shop because the car would not restart. The next day repair shop said you need to get toyota to a dealership. The repair shop said the main computer failed.the ecm, electronic control module. I had a diagnostic fee $40.50 from repair shop that toyota refused to reimburse me. I had car towed and toyota fixed the problem they said it was a recalled. However i did not receive a recall notice until after my toyota was repaired.i wrote two letters asking for the $40.50 that i had to pay for something they caused. I did not request towing fees because i have aarp coverage. I explained in my letter to toyota corp. That a $40.50 charge is a small price to pay for my wife who could have been killed on the highway. You would think a company of this size would bend over backwards to make everything right in order 2 maintain customer loyalty.
While getting on the freeway my car lost almost all acceleration in heavy traffic. Pulled off the freeway turned off car, restated it and it sounded, felt normal. I drove 11 miles home. Next day: driving to toyota 2miles away, engine light comes on, car shuts down at intersection in traffic, blocks from toyota dealership. Car stalls 4 more times to dealership.
The contact owns a 2007 toyota corolla. The contact stated that the check engine warning lamp illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that an oxygen sensor was defective and needed to be replaced. The remedy failed to repair the problem and the warning lamp illuminated again. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who stated that there was an electrical problem in the wiring harness which would need to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but did not offer any assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle vin was not available. The failure and current mileage was 64,000.
Driving my 2007 toyota corolla on a 4 lane highway, i was in the left lane to turn and the car just shut down. Coasted into a parking lot, and tried to restart the car and it was fine.arrived home in the driveway, my husband opened the hood and asked me to turn the car on, left it running and it shut down in about 3 minutes.this happened on several occasions. Called the nearest toyota dealer and scheduled an appointment. Had the car towed and was told by the dealer that the computer needed to be replaced.this was under warranty.
While operating this vehicle at approx 35mph, there was a sudden and complete loss of power. Engine continued to run smoothly but absolutely no acceleration or power. This caused the vehicle to slow to a stop at a very dangerous and busy intersection. I returned home at idle speed and placed the car in the garage. Check engine light was on.days later i restarted the car and everything appeared ok and recovered. Check engine light eventually went out. Then it occurred again while making a right hand turn at another intersection. Very dangerous, very scary. The car was garaged and later towed to the dealership.the dealership conceded that the problem was the computer or ecm. There is a tsb concerning this and they are aware of this problem with toyota corollas. Fortunately, i still had 6k miles left on my warranty so this repair and the tow was covered by toyota. I was told that had this been anout of warranty the repair would have been $1300 for an 18month old car! i believe this is a safety issue and toyota should notify every owner of this vehicle for this possible problem. I also believe this defect should be repaired regardless of warranty limitations.

Service manager had the main computer replaced at no charge on the warranty.he told us that they have seen the main computer suddenly fail only on toyota corolla's 2003 - 2007.

While exiting a parking lot onto a main road, the car stalled during acceleration. The driver attempted to restart the car, however, the car would not start. The starter continued to turn, but the engine would not turnover. After waiting approximately 10 minutes the car restarted, but then stalled again after approximately 30 seconds of running. The driver noticed the check engine light on the instrument panel was illuminated. Thinking it may be a fuel level problem, the driver went to the gas station and bought three gallons of gas and put it in the car. But the engine stalled again after running for a few seconds. The driver let the car sit in the parking lot over night and attempted to restart it in the morning, again, the car stalled after approximately one minute. After reading numerous entries pertaining to the corolla's ecm, the driver had to get the car towed to the nearest dealership.
I was driving my 2007 toyota corolla and pulled out into traffic and the engine just shut off causing the vehicle to stop. Several vehicles had to swerve and or slam on their brakes to avoid me. I had the vehicle towed to the local dealer where they replaced the ecm. I have read of other toyota vehicles having this very dangerous problem . I could have been injured or killed because of this ecm failure, please see that toyota repairs all these vehicles.
Driving on 210 fwy. Going east, speed was approx. 70, when car stalled, aka died. The car turned off and slowed down, making us slam on hazards and brakes. This same problem has happened twice in the past week. We took it to crown toyota and found out the ecu is bad. But they then proceed to tell us its only covered for up to 80,000 miles. They then proceed to tell us its a problem on some corollas, but not all. So there is no recalls, so we would have to pay to fix the problem.

I own a 2007 toyota corolla which i bought in november 2006.since that time i have had nothing but problems out of my vehicle, from cosmetics, to vibrating steering wheel, air conditioning issues, leaking struts, alignment issues, and most recently the ecm.i was driving to the store, and right before i turned into a busy intersection my car shook, and then the engine shut off.all of the lights and service indicators came on, and then shut off leaving only the check engine light on.i tried to start my vehicle again, but nothing.my friend had to help me to push the vehicle into a nearby parking lot.there, i was able to start the car again, and so i headed home.just as i got to my house, the car shut off again, and right before it shut off, it wouldn't even give gas.i had my car towedto a nearby shop, and after checking the entire car and doing a diagnostic, i was told it was the ecm and that it would cost 650 to repair (and that's for a used/rebuilt one).i called toyota, and they said that it was covered under warranty up to 80,000 miles.i am just under 80,000 miles thank god.the guy i spoke with sounded as if he wasn't surprised of the issue.i am having my vehicle towed to toyota today, and i guess will see how this all pans out.the bad part about it all is, what if they fix the problem and it happens again?and what other issues are there that they know about and their consumers don't. Plus, who is going to pay for peoples time off work for these repairs, and their inconveniences?at this point i am very disappointed in toyota!i wanted to purchase the 2010 toyota corolla next, or the lexus rx320, but i will definitely pass on that now!

On 5/30/07 i picked up a 2007 toyota corolla ce..at the time of the test drive i did not notice this safety issue & perhaps it was due to the distraction of the sales person's constant talking.. Since i am short i need to move the seat up forward to be comfortable when driving & to be able to see clearly, but once i move the seat forward & tilt the steering wheel so that i can drive comfortably & safely i cannot see all of the speedometer readings.. On the left i can see 0-20 mph & on the right i can see 90-110 mph anything in between is not at eye level & i cannot see the speedometer readings.. When i drive in order to see my speed i need to take my eyes off the road look down &under the top part of the steering wheel.. Obviously this is extremely dangerous when doing 70 mphon a parkway which i needed to do &i consider it to be a safety issue with this toyota.. I cannot believe that toyota actually put this out on the market. How did this vehicle pass safety tests ? also, on this exact same vehicle i have filed a complaint on the tires odi # 10200011 which i am still having a serious safety problem with.. Has toyota sacrificed consumer safety for production & income ? this is not my first new car but it has become a horrific experience for me and i am afraid that these vehicle problems will become my statistic.. Communications with toyota have been unsuccessful..
This is an addendum to complaint odi # 10204519.. I was at deluca toyota today to have my tire problem checked again ( complaintodi# 10200011), and i explained tothe service person garry bradley about the problem with not being able to read the speedometer once the tilt wheel was tilted in a safe and comfortable position for me to drive.. He explained that there was nothing they could do since this was considered a "design flaw".. They gave me a car to drive while they were inspecting my 2007 corolla and this car a 2008 toyota solara has the exact same "design flaw".. Once the wheel is tilted so that i can drive safely and comfortably i can only see " 0-20 mph on the left side of the speedometer" and on the right side i can only see " 140 mph and more",anything in between 20 mph & 140 mph is not visible to me.. I guesstoyota is discriminating against all of us that are short or we shouldn't drive their cars if we want to be safe.. I feel that this is a severe safety issue.. Why put the tilt wheel option in their vehicles if you cannot use them safely..

It starts with the car not feeling like it is receiving fuel to the engine, then a couple of weeks later, it just dies and won't start back up.first time i was stopped at a red light, it just died and i had it pushed to the side of the road.i left the vehicle and returned half an hour later in which it did restart.i had the vehicle towed to the toyota dealership in which it turns out found that it was a censor that was bad and replaced.the second time it stalled on me, again, i could tell that fuel wasn't getting to the engine in short intervals.then a couple of weeks later, i was traveling at a speed of 55 mph when it just died and wouldn't start back up at all.it was towed again to the toyota dealership where they say it was a blown fuse.in both instances there is "power" to the vehicle.the radio, air, wipers, flashers, etc all work fine.but the engine doesn't work.

My 2007 toyota corolla just quit running and i was stranded in the middle of rush hour traffic. Three men pulled over to help me. One stopped traffic while the other two pushed me out of traffic into a nearby parking lot. I called aaa, who sent atruck which towed me to tao auto in cary, nc. Tao auto told me monday that it was a computer problem, so i had my car towed to fred anderson toyota in raleigh, nc.fred anderson said the computer in my car had malfunctioned, so they replaced it under warranty. They were prompt and courteous.this is a dangerous type of failure - had it happened ten minutes earlier, i would have been stranded in the middle lane of five lanes of heavy traffic on i-40 , all moving at about 70 mph. I could have been killed along with other people in the cars around me.
Yesterday our 2007 toyota corolla(13,000) stopped dead in flow of traffic on a highway-luckily we merged to shoulder narrowly missing being hit by traffic. The car was fixed w/ a new computer system. Checking if others had this problem it turns out that diagnostic code p0607 has a very bad & significant history with 2007 corolla-cars just die!!! but no recall. We almost died and similar situations have been reported.

The corolla 2007 "s model" stopped or died on the road while driving. The check engine light came on and could not drive the vehicle when accelerator was pressed.
I started my car and immediately upon starting the engine rpm's went from 0-5000 rpm and would not come back down. I shut off the car and waited a fewminutes and tried again.... Same thing. This happened several times. I am afraid that this could happen at any time while i'm actually driving the vehicle in whichcase there could be a very bad accident due to the throttle sticking open if that's what the cause is.

Engine stalled and does not start!
Looked up a recall on the emc of 2007 toyota corollas. My car was rear ended on 12/31/2014. Ever since, my car has been having electrical problems. My radiator fan is not working and had to be hot wired by a mechanic for it to stay on while running. My ac is not working, my shifter is stuck in park which is caused by a bad solenoid. I have had it inspected for over 8 hours by certified mechanics at midas, and they couldn't fix it. They said that every test they did was reading that nothing was wrong but my ac and radiator fan and solenoid are not working. My car stalls out occasionally, it wont start sometimes, and it is idling louder than before.
On 9/12/2012 the engine light came on and i drove the car to the dealership, the service rep said that they reset the sensor and everything should be ok. On jan 15,13 i took the car back to the toyota dealership for the 60,000 miles maintenance. Only thing that was said to be found was the fan belt was needing to be replaced. On jan 24 while driving to the usaf base, the car started making noise and jerking. When i stopped at the gate to show my i.d. The guard told me that it sounded like my engine was dying, and go to the mechanic asap. I turned around and went straight to the toyota dealership. The engine light came back on and it took me 45 min to get to toyota bc the car would not accelerate past 20 mph (that should have been a 10 min drive). The service rep told me that the air flow meter sensor was dirty and frozen and they cleaned and reset it. On friday feb 1st the car was towed back to toyota because it would not drive out the drive way. Toyota rep ran a diagnostic and said the computer engine was faulty and a new ecm would need to be put in. This car only has 66,000 miles! the rep told me that there were recalls on the 2005-2008 model toyota corollas and that i need to get a recall letter from toyota usa so they can fix the car (i never got the letter that was supposedly sent out sept 2010). I called toyota corporate on 4 separate occasions on feb 4 and was told that i could not get a letter faxed or emailed here to germany to get my car repaired. A rude representative name [xxx] said that it would take an unknown amount of time to get a recall letter sent through the mail. I don't have an unknown amount of time. I am due to leave germany in a week on military orders! in the days of technology, we can put a man on the moon but toyota usa can't send an electronic recall letter to toyota germany to have one of their faulty vehicles repaired? shame on toyota!information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

This happened about four weeks apart with two different drivers under similar conditions.we were slowing to stop at a stop sign traveling 5-10 mph and when we applied the brake, the engine reved up. When it happened to me the the car wouldn't stop when i applied the brake so i put the car into neutral and thus avoided hitting car ahead of me.i took the vehicle to my local toyota dealer.they had it for a day and half and said they could find nothing wrong.they said i should remove my after market car mat ( which i have) and suggested that both drivers had applied the brake and accelorator at the same time.i think this is highly unlikely as my foot isn't wide enough to do both unless my foot is nearly off the brake. The car mat in question has been the car for 6 plus years and is a custom made one which does not slip.

My car had a recall completed on the ecm in 2011.now in 2018 my ecm is shorting out causing my engine to shut off while i am driving.in order to start up the engine again i have to pull over, put the car in park and turn the key again.one time this happened while i was stopped.the other time this happened while i was driving.toyota reported that because the recall had already been completed there was nothing they could do and the repair had to be completed at my expense.the only way to make my car safe to drive again is to have a new ecm installed.
The engine light has been going on and off for no apparent reason. Mechanics say there is no reason why engine light should be on. Concerned about possible engine failure.
Dear officer,i bought this car (toyota corolla 2007) in dec 2012 from a private party. The car was totally running fine. I have been changing the oil every 3 months. Last month, i started noticing white smoke coming out from the rear exhaust pipe and the toyota dealer said it would be o2 sensor and changed it (charged $400). I started noticing white smoke again and this time they said there is a oil leakage and fixed it (charged $450). They also told me that the whole bottom part of the engine is full of oil sludge and that would take $4000 to fix. I bought this car for only 8500$kindly investigate and let me know if this is a known problem in toyota corolla. I am sure there are lot of consumers like me might be running into this problem.

Started car this morning and the check engine light came on. Took to parts store and hooked it up to the computer and found codes (p2401, p043e, p043f, p2402, p2419) everything i have researched comes back to evap canister failure, and possible wiring failure. More research shows these issues causing people getting stranded and others with no problem other then light, and others with a strong gas smell. If this causes a gas smell, then a potential fire hazard is formed.
On april 28 2014 i reserved a rental car from priceless rental car in inglewood ca.upon receiving the vehicle, there was no inspection or any kind of walk-around to ensure its condition.i drove it from lax to san francisco, and during the entire journey the check engine light was on and my gas mileage efficiency was dropping rapidly. The vehicle also shook at speeds around 60-70mph and would jerk and jolt whenever i applied the gas pedal to increase rpm.i am sure that there is no vehicle inspection or maintenance occurring on a weekly, monthly, or even a daily basis.
I was driving on the high way, it stopped completely and would go at all.the car just shut off while driving with no warning signs. It wouldn't restart, unless you let it cool down for 10 minutes or so.

2007 toyota corolla sometimes won't start. Turns over fast with starter, but won't start. Then, the next try, it does. May be related to the same problem as stalling. Also the steering feels too stiff, makes it hard to keep in the lane when it is windy.

My corolla 2007 stopped on the middle of the road with check engine light suddenly on and battery light is also on without any warning. After two minutes i was able to turn on and drew one block to a mechanic shop and asked them to check battery and other problems. Mechanic said battery is weak, he recommended to change battery, but he said some other problems may exist. I asked him to change battery. He changed and it started ok. No check engine light. After i drew three signals, car stopped on the middle of the road again with check engine light suddenly on without any warning and battery light is also on. I towed the car to dealer. As per invoice they did following work.?p0607- ecm shortened, replaced ecm and re-checked: operates as designed?.my car is under warranty, they did not charge for parts and service. I strongly believe it is a manufacturer defect. If this problem occurred on freeway, that could be dangerous and lead to fatal crash.

I have a 2007 toyota corolla s, and i believe there is a manufacturer design flaw that leads to excessive debris and rocks that gain access through the front of the vehicle and will ultimately puncture holes in the ac condenser. Since i have owned this vehicle this is the second occurrence of having a punctured hole in my ac condenser. Since they say it is caused by a rock the dealership accepts no fault and the warranty does not cover it. They charge $728 dollars to repair the condenser. I am upset because i feel that toyota knows that this problem exists and have done very little to resolve the issue. My car only has 22,000 miles on it yet this has happened twice. Very dissatisfied with the design of the vehicle which i feel is the cause. The car should have enough protection in the front end that a rock would not be able to make contact with the ac condenser so easily.

I was driving uphill on a one-way street in downtown when i saw and heard the sparks about 1 minute apart from each other on the front left side between the crack of the hood, the car lost power and turned off. I started it again, and it only moved about two feet and turned off. The car started to roll back, and the steering wheel locked making it impossible to steer. An unknown driver who was in front of us was merging to park to the right told us to get off because the car was on fire, next the smoke was visible. It began to smell like burned plastic, and then we saw the thick grey smoke coming through the crack of the hood. I pulled the hand emergency brake to stop the car from rolling back down any further. I opened the hood we all got out of the car.i went back inside the car to unhooked the harness off my dog. I was so scared that i couldn't release my dog, and my son's girlfriend helped me, and we got my dog out. My son, his girlfriend and i got the super-size large drink we just bought at mcdonald's and dumped on the fire with the help of the unknown man who got a bucket of some liquid possibly water from the hotel next to us, and the fire was out. I was so terrifying of how rapid my car caught on fire and how fast everything happening. My car was well maintained by toyota regularly, and the mechanic told us that there is no known reason why the fire started. Toyota has replaced the defected computer twice, the transmission once, i had two electrical problems in the past, and i do not feel safe in a car with so many manufacturers defective parts. Unexplainable fire, is the response i got from the insurance and repair shop which does not make me feel safe to drive a car that could caught fire at any time.

The contact owns a 2007 toyota corolla.while driving approximately 45 mph, the engine idled highly.suddenly, the engine began to rev excessively followed by a low power response.there were no warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel.the driver pulled over into a parking lot and turned off the engine.she restarted the vehicle after ten minutes and it resumed normal operation.the failure occurred on five separate occasions and the vehicle was taken to the dealer four different times.the technician was unable to duplicate the failures.the failure still persists.the vin was unknown.the failure mileage was 25,000 and current mileage was 27,000.
On august 11, 2010, while driving our 2007 toyota corolla at about 40 mph the engine suddenly stopped running.we coasted and were able to get pulled off the road safely.the engine would not restart. We called our toyota dealer service department and explained what was going on.they said there was a problem with the computer in the 2007 corollas and that was probably what we were experiencing.we were instructed to have the car towed to the dealer and if that was the case, i.e., computer failure, the tow charge and the repair would be covered under the vehicle warranty, they would hold a service spot open for us that very day and it would be taken care of when we arrived.they quoted a repair time of about 1 hour.we had the car towed to the dealer.it was a computer failure.the repair was completed in about the stated time. If this had happened on the highway in a construction zone where both sides of the road are lined with concrete abutments and there is no place to pull off our outcome may have been very different.it is frightening to think what could have happened to us with a stalled car in a highway construction zone with no way to get out of the flow of traffic.i think the fact that the car can just stop running while being driven has been underplayed.
Re:2007 toyota corolla ce, purchased in july 2007, approx. 15,000 miles.on 7/29/09, car stalled to a complete stop while driving.luckily, i was not driving on the highway (i-95) as i normally do.stalled on my block after i made turn into street.after a minute, was able to restart with minimal engine power to travel another 100 feet.had to repeat this until i reached my driveway.car was towed to dealership.they told me that this was a defect (wire for the computer dislodged or fell off and caused the problem).there was no indication that this was going to happen.no time to pull off to side of the road.only "check engine" light appeared when trying to restart engine.this is a very dangerous situation and without some indication that this will happen, there could have been a serious accident resulting in injury or worse.dealer replaced the part that day.

I saw article about 2006 toyota corolla stalling problems. We have a 2007 that has experienced a minor version of this problem since new. At low speed <30mph engine rpm will randomly drop for a few seconds then come back up. Does not appear to occur at idle. Problem is worse when cold. Did not think it serious until i saw the article. The only thing we have done is had our mechanic check for engine codes, no codes reported. We also have a 2008 corolla that does experience this problem.
2-17-10 2007 toyota corolla stalled on 4 lane highway. I had to rent a car. Went back to the car and it started and ran fine for a few days. Then started stalling again. Once when on interstate i-26 i was in passing lane doing 65 mph and it stalled and i had to get it off the road. I was almost run over by irate motorist. If that's not a safety problem i don't know what is. Problem became progressively worse and it would stall every 10-15 miles. Took it to mechanic on 3-15-10 and he installed a new oxygen sensor and everything was fine for the next 100 miles. Now the check engine light is back on and the mechanic suspects the ecm is the problem. Now i'm afraid to drive the car. Don't know if used parts are available.
My 2007 corolla stalled at an intersection. I was waiting at a stop light and then all of a sudden the engine stalled and would not start again. I called a friend who helped me push my car to the side of the road. I then called aaa and they came and towed my car to a car service. This happened at 8:30pm today and so the car service was already closed and i will have to wait till friday morning to understand what caused this. It was a harrowing and terrifying experience and i feared for my safety.
The power died when i was on a very busy thoroughfare at rush hour.i had to cross several lanes of traffic and was barely able to crawl to the shoulder.i was towed to a repair shop and was told the engine computer module was defective.i understand toyota is aware of this problem, but has yet to give recall details to their customers or to their dealerships.what are they waiting for?i could have easily been in an accident or caused one.if toyota won't move on their own, please force them to act.lives are at risk!
We were notified last summer/fall that there was a safety recall on some 2005-2008 toyota corolla and matrix models. The letter states that we would be notified when parts became available and that due to the possible failure of the ecm -engine control module -(cracks on welds) the engine may stop working while the car is being driven. Therefore we have not been able to drive it except at slow speeds considering safety and hoping our car was not one that fell under the recall. Considering we never got another letter (expected nov 2010) we believed we must be exempt from the recall, but yesterday we received the notice that the parts are available so we went in to our local toyota dealer seeger toyota in st robert mo where it was confirmed our car falls under this serious safety recall. The dealer now is saying they don't have the part available and they will "call" us when they have it in. How long is acceptable ? does someone have to die before toyota follows through? now that we know this involves our vehicle i don't feel good about operating it. What are our recourses under the law?

Engine died after driving for 1 mile.couldn't started it. Had the car towed to toyota dealer. Bad engine control unit was identified and replaced. This could be a very dangerous situation should the car shut down suddenly at high speed or on a busy street.

Re my 2007 corolla ce.driving with my husband in my 2007 corolla in 8/09 was making right turn out of residential subdivision onto heavy traffic roads during rush hour.with no warning engine literally stopped dead as i was moving into lane and perhaps 20% of way into lane.engine had been running fine before that with absolutely no indication of problem.fortunately--when engine stopped dead--front of car was not fully in lane into which i was turning and oncoming traffic could move around me.turned off ignition, let set for perhaps 60 seconds; was able to re-start engine; car started and i was able to make it home, driving 1.2 miles.garaged overnight; car started next morning but died halfway out of garage.after 5-10 minutes started again but died after driving 30 yards.had towed to dealer; learned there'd been a "dealer's technical service bulletin in 9/08, tsb ego42-07, in re defective part, to quote service mgr "bad batch of ecm's in "some" 2007 toyotas."dealers were supposed to have informed customers of this defective ecm when they brought corollas in for service.please note that i had this corolla serviced at 2 different toyota dealerships between 9/08 and 8/09, date of incident, and neither informed me of this tsb.my husband and i could have been killed in this incident and, since i transport my 4 yr old nephew, he, too, had been at risk.dealership rep shrugged ... Could have cared less.this defect should never have been a mere tsb ... There should have been a recall and corolla owners should have been notified.online research at the time indicated that there had been corollas which had died at highway speed, so we were probably fortunate.this could have been catastrophic for us.
Car stalled on highway at ~55 mph, and successfully restarted once. Stalled out again on highway later that day and needed tow to dealership. Dealership noted engine stalling below 1000 rpm, and could not communicate with computer (ecm). Dealership replaced ecm (89661-02k21) for free under warranty, and toyota corp. Reimbursed for towing.
The 2007 toyota corolla (ce) car engine didn't pick up speed in highway until pulling car over to shoulder and restarted the car. This situation has happened three times yesterday when i driving it with my family on highwayi-95 in jacksonville florida. Next day i went toyota dealer to find out the issue. They hooked the engine with the computer but didn't find the problem. I fear this will happen in the future and may cause life threaten situation.
On friday, march 12, 2010, i was driving my 2007 toyota corolla home on my lunch hour and my car stalled twice on a sharp turn. I nearly lost control on the turn because the steering became (quite unexpectedly) very difficult. At first i didn't realize the car had stalled, causing the steering problem. That was the first time the car stalled.i immediately took it to my local toyota dealership. They said it could be a computer problem, battery, alternator, etc., and they'd run diagnostics on it. After being there over four hours, all they said was that the battery was "marginal" but it took a charge. I asked about putting in a new battery and the service rep said he didn't want to do that. I wasn't charged for the diagnostic or battery charge. I believe, now that i've heard about the stall issue today in the news, that this problem is why i wasn't charged for the diagnostic test; however, i was not informed there have been problems with stalling.
My 2007 toyota corolla had trouble starting, then died twice.on the third attempt, it started and sounded normal. I was on a drive home with my grandsons.i called my dealer and was advised to go to a dealer near my location.they found that there was no communication with the engine computer.they replaced the computer for no charge since it was under warranty.when i further questioned them, they said this is a known defect of 2007 and 2008 toyota corollas and they keep the necessary part in stock.when i asked why i wasn't informed about this or why there was no recall, they said not all of these cars had a problem so toyota determined that a recall would be too expensive. I had a 2 hour delay, far from home,with my grandsons (ages 2 and 6 months) because toyota saw no need to prevent this from happening.
2007 toyota corolla s smokes due to oil sludge, vehicle smokes when first starting and periodically during the day. I took vehicle to dealer and was told that the engine was sludged due to poor maintenance, it has come to my attention that there are 3245 other toyota owners who were told the same thing, "how can this be true" ? this clearly looks to be a defect that toyota does not want to take responsibility for, and this looks to be a dangerous situation for toyota owners. I heard of engines failing because of this issue, and report of fires and engines seizingwhile driving on highways, and toyota will do nothing to fix the problem. My vehicle is still under warranty and they are not honoring that warranty.
I bought a 2007 toyota corolla about 3 years ago. I had a very bad experience on jan. 29, 2010. (1) firstly, when i got off work, i could not start the engine. I tried 3 times, and engine was finally started and both the battery and engine check lights were on. I was very worried and decided to go to a dealership the next day. (2) the next morning, i drove to a toyota dealership nearby. When i stopped at a red traffic light on my way to the dealership, my engine was shut off automatically!!! i was so nervous, quickly turned on my emergency light and tried to start the engine again. The engine was started and finally i arrived at toyota dealership. The dealer checked my car and found the engine control module went bad. They replaced it with a new ecm. The problem went away for now.my car is only about 22,000 miles. I am very concerned about the quality of toyota's electronics.
I tried repeatedly to have the engine control module replaced in my 2007 corolla as i was instructed to do in three safety recall notices. I brought the car to toyota of el cajon the first time on june 28th after receiving a notice that stated that the parts were ready. The part was (apparently) ordered by toyota of el cajon, and i was asked to leave my car overnight. The next day i was asked to pick up the car because the part had not come in. I was told to wait to make an appointment until the part came in. No one called me to schedule the appointment. I went online around july 18th and scheduled an appointment for july 25th. I brought my car in and waited 1 hour. The service manager then came and told me that the part was not there, and that he would need to re-order it. He told me he would call me and that if i didn't hear from him in a week to call him. I called him two weeks later and he told me that the part was still not in. He told me he would call me to follow up, but never did. I haven't heard back from toyota of el cajon since then. I filed an incident report ([xxx]) on toyota's website on august 16, 2011, but i have not received a response. I also tried calling toyota's customer experience center today, august 23, but the call center is down and i could not get through. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The contact owns a 2007 toyota corolla. The contact was driving approximately 5- 10 mph when the engine completely stalled without warning. The contact restarted the engine and resumed operation. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the electronic control module was replaced. The similar failure recurred on a different occasion. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer for diagnosis. The technician was unable to generate a trouble code however, further inspection was being performed on the vehicle. The vin was unavailable. The failure mileage was 60,000.
In may 21, 2009, when my husband was driving in a 45 mph road, the car speed suddenly couldn't maintain and started to decrease although the accelerator pedal was depressed. Then found the car engine stalled and couldn't restart. Fortunately, there was no other car hit his car when this happened. But engine suddenly stall while driving, especially in a highway could be life threatening problem, which could be even worse than sudden acceleration.i have read qcsreport00203 report regarding electronic throttle control systems in toyota consumer complaints to nhtsa. In this report it states: it is frequently possible to determine whether an electronic throttle control system is used in an engine in a specific vehicle once the make, the model, the model year, and the corresponding toyota engine family are identified.in 2007 toyota corolla owners' manual, page107, it clearly states: if engine speed does not increase when the accelerator pedal is depressed, there may be a problem somewhere in the electronic throttle control system. From this statement, it tells that toyota does aware the engine sudden stall problem and the defectiveness of the electronic throttle control system. Toyota should take responsibility on 2007 corolla as well.
I own a 2007 toyota corolla i bought new.with 17,000+ miles on it the engine control module failed.this event occurred while driving on a heavily traveled road at 45 mph.the car's speed immediately dropped to 15 mph.i avoided accident and injury, but was horrified at the thought i could have been on the freeway when this happened.the next day i had it towed to the dealer.i found it odd that the service writer didn't even blink about this, and that a new engine control module was readily available.the experience made me think this must be a common occurrence.*tw
The contact owns a 2007 toyota corolla. The contact stated that he took his vehicle to the dealer for routine maintenance. After the vehicle was inspected there was a crack in the v belt which was a part of the engine. The belt was previously replaced at 14,000 miles and had failed again. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who informed the contact that he had to pay $192 for the repairs since the warranty expired. The manufacturer was contacted and informed him that the previous repair parts were only guaranteed for a year. The contact will have to pay the repair cost. The failure mileage was 59,215.updated 05/04/11 updated 1/5/12
I drive a 2007 toyota corolla s automatic. I bought it brand new & had about 72,000 miles on it at the time of the incident. I had noticed for a few weeks that my car was shifting into reverse quite roughly, delayed & jerking. I figured i would get it checked at my next oil change. While i was stopped at an intersection waiting to turn left, my car stalled. I stepped on the pedal to accelerate but it just revved my car & wouldn't go. I tried switching into reverse with the same result. Then i restarted my car a couple times until it finally started moving again. I thought it was a fluke so i kept driving. Unfortunately, as i drove on, the car just decelerated and stalled again. At that point, i called a tow truck. My car was taken to repair shop where the diagnostic was ecm issues & transmission failure. My mechanic called toyota to get the ecm replaced & my transmission had to be rebuilt.
The contact owns a 2007 toyota corolla le. While driving at speeds of less than 25 mph the vehicle stalled and the driver was able to restart the vehicle and drive home safely. The next day, the vehicle stalled again. Within 20 minutes, he was able to restart the vehicle and drive home. Within minutes, he was notified by the fire department that the vehicle was on fire. The front end of the vehicle was totally engulfed in flames. The fire department was able to extinguish the fire; however, the vehicle was destroyed. The contact was unable to speak with toyota of america. The failure and current mileages were under 14,200.
My 2007 toyota corolla stalled while driving within the city at 45 mph, with the accelerator pedal becoming non responsive and the engine losing out power.the engine check light also went on.this stalling issue happened twice and i had to drive onto the curb to evade potentially dangerous accident in the traffic. Both the incidents occurred on 08/06/2008. Subsequent to the stalling the car would not start. After trying few time i could get it to start once more and barely managed to drive it to the dealers service station.the dealer kept the car overnight and called me to inform next day that they could not quite figure out the problem and replaced the computer in the car. The car being under warranty i was not charged anything. The dealer comments on my invoice stated - "engine ecu malfunction replace engine ecu". (for the stalling problem)"immobilizer not responding". (for the engine check light)the incident has not occurred since.
Unexpected, sudden, full acceleration while braking/slowing and little or no response from brakes.occurs while braking, both slowing as well as while stopped. *smch
While exiting a parking lot onto a main road, the car stalled during acceleration. The driver attempted to restart the car, however, the car would not start. The starter continued to turn, but the engine would not turnover. After waiting approximately 10 minutes the car restarted, but then stalled again after approximately 30 seconds of running. The driver noticed the check engine light on the instrument panel was illuminated. Thinking it may be a fuel level problem, the driver went to the gas station and bought three gallons of gas and put it in the car. But the engine stalled again after running for a few seconds. The driver let the car sit in the parking lot over night and attempted to restart it in the morning, again, the car stalled after approximately one minute. After reading numerous entries pertaining to the corolla's ecm, the driver had to get the car towed to the nearest dealership.
2007 corolla engine light came on and within a couple of minutes, engine totally died. Corolla would not restart. Car was towed to dealer where engine computer was replaced.
The contact owns a 2007 toyota corolla. The contact stated the vehicle stalled while driving 50 mph when the check engine light remained illuminated. The contact began to drive between 5 and 8 mph when the vehicle dropped to an idle position which caused him to drive onto the emergency lane. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who stated that the engine control unit was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired at no cost. The manufacturer was not contacted. The vin was unavailable.the failure and current mileages were 24,000.
In march 2007, i bought a brand new toyota corolla. More than three months ago my car started having major problems when i try to turn to car on. First the car engine did not turn on right away, so i had to keep trying to turn it on, then the car did not turn on at all. I got stock at the supermarket parking lot one day because the car was dead. I took it to have a battery check and the mechanic told me that the batteries of the car was in excellent condition, so the problem was the engine of the car. Couple of weeks later, i received a letter by toyota explaining me that they recalled my car with a major problem in the engine, the letter stated that i needed to be careful because my car engine can turn off while i am driving. I took the car to the toyota dealer to have then check the car, and they did not even touch my car, they told me that when my car turn off again, to call them or have my car toll to their place. Two days after i went to the dealership the car started having the same problems. It makes a wear sound when i put my keys in the engine and try to turn the car on. I take any tries before the car turn on, so i called toyotas corporate number and they told me to take my car to the dealership, and it did it; however, they did not even touch my car. They leaved parked on a side of the lot and they waited more than two hours to tell me again that i have to wait until the car does not turn on again so they can take a look of the engine. They told me that toyota is working on a resolution for my problem and by the end of november, i will get a second letter from toyota stating the solution for the problem and to take my car to the dealership so they can fix in. Today is december 14, 2010 and i have not received any other communication from toyota. I have not driven my car because i have to kids and i'm afraid that something can happen to us while i am driving my unsafe car. I request an action from toyota because i am paying for a car that i am not using.
The engine suddenly lost power on 1/04. 3/02 and 3/12 and eventually replaced the conputer control part on 3/16
My 2007 toyota corolla stalled while driving on more than one occasion. I was told by the dealer it was the computer and it resulted in the dealer replacing the computer.luckily it was under warranty. On one of the occasions, however, i was on a major highway with my 7 year old daughter. Not a safe situation.
2007 toyota corolla stalled on the evening of 15 apr 2010.the next morning we had the car towed to our toyota dealer (where the vehicle was purchased).when i called the service advisor to tell him the vehicle was on the way and described what happened, he immediately stated the "oh, it's the computer" as if this was a fairly common occurrence.the repair was made at no charge but we were fortunate that it happened in front of our house and i was able to park the car on the street.there have been no more occurrences.
My 2007 toyota corolla engine stalled. I started the engine and went back inside the house and when i returned to the car i noticed the engine was off (which was bizarre because i knew i had turned it on). Of course the radio was still on. Several attempts to start it either resulted in the car not starting and in other instances it would start for a second and then shut off.i had to borrow my husband's car for the day. When i got home, my husband and i tried starting the engine again and realized that it was stalling, also the engine check light was on. My husband told me he read an article recently about corollas and matrix problems so he went back and read the article online and realized that this was the same issues my car was experiencing. I also checked the corolla manual and saw that the engine light says take the car to toyota immediately.
Our son was driving my car at approx 55 mph, in the afternoon, in cool clear spring weather... A clunk was heard, the engine died, he was lucky to find a wide spot to pull off the rural two lane highway and coast to a stop. The vehicle was towed to a dealer, diagnoses revealed dtc 607 ecm performance, description computer,engine . The computer was defective, and was replacedwith 1 quantity....fp number 89661-02k21 computer for the engine under warranty. (31,858 miles on odometer) thurston's dealership in ukiah gave us great service and a quick turn around time enabling son to commute to college once again with little inconvenience.i'm greatly concerned about this incident and hope my data submission will serve to alert service departments, manufacturers and investigators to our experience with the engine computer chip defect. I want to help prevent the possibility of other drivers being placed in a potentially hazardous situation of loss of engine computer control while driving.
The contact owns a 2007 toyota corolla. The contact stated that the vehicle would stall intermittently without warning. The failure has occurred since purchase and the vehicle was taken to the dealer for times in regards to the failure.the electronic control module was replaced but the vehicle continued to stall without warning. The dealer advised that there was an open recall on the vehicle and repairs were made under nhtsa campaign id number: 10v384000 (engine and engine cooling). The dealer advised that the repair should have corrected the failure, but it did not. The failure mileage was 1,700 and the current mileage was 58,000.
After driving for some time, the engine light comes on and the car starts to lose power.within one minute the car shakes violently and stalls out.this happened on several occasions for the past year.it happens on the highway and on city streets.when it happens, i have to glide over to the shoulder and hope there's a place where i can park the car.so far, there has not been an accident.after two minutes, i am able to start driving the car again.the car was at toyota, and they said it was the water pump leaking.this was done.but the car is still stalling during driving.so problem is still not fixed.
My daughter's 2007 corolla "check engine light" illuminated while driving back to college on 8/29/10. She stated that the car started to jerk periodically also. She was able to drive home safely the following day and i took it to my mechanic on 8/30/10. He said that there was a bulletin released regarding a recall on the ecm and to take it to the dealer for repair. I took it to toyota mall of georgia and handed the service rep the printout of the bulletin and explained what had happened. I asked him if this had to do with the recent recall - he said that this wasn't recent since the date on the bulletin was 2007. He said probably the ecm needed to be replaced and would call when he knew for sure. A few hours later he said that the ecm was replaced at no charge.in the interim, i had done some research and found that there was a recall bulletin issued on 8/26/10 so when i picked up the car later that evening, i questioned a different service rep and he said he didn't know about any recall! huh? didn't the other rep tell me that this was from 2007? i said why did you replace the ecm then, he said because there is a start up issue with the ecm. I told him we weren't having start up trouble, but that the engine light came on and the car started to jerk. I told him what i had learned about the engine stalling while driving and asked him if these issues were fixed with this replacement and he said no, just the start up issue!! he said since there wasn't a recall on the stalling issue, they couldn't fix this. I was totally confused and did not feel safe putting my daughter back in that car. Now i see all these complaints going back to 2007 regarding this. Toyota has known about this for 3 years and has done nothing to inform the public. Meanwhile my daughter has basically been driving a time bomb for the past 3 years!! i don't feel that the replacement has corrected the problem, so now what is my recourse?please help!
Toyota corolla ce 2007. Check engine light was on. Cruising on freeway at speed limit when engine shifts into a stall. Cannot accelerate and must pull over. Shut down car and restart, works fine but engine light still on. Calls dealer, they say a tsb was released concerning a faulty engine control unit in some 2007 corollas. Tsb was released in july 2009. I was never informed of potential problem until i called service department and described event. Scheduled for diagnosis and repair in two days, dealer says if it falls under tsbthe ecu will be replaced under warranty. Very dangerous problem, i was driving late atnight with very little traffic. If this had happened during busy rush hour traffic or even on crowded local road high risk of accident.

2007 toyota corolla stalled a traffic light in downtown rush-hour traffic.would start back up, but only idle for 30 sec. And die again.had to have towed to dealer, who diagnosed the problem as the engine control module (ecm).this appears to be a way to common problem as discussed on the toyota forums.seems to occur with mid-30k mileage.mine had 34,800 miles.
The contact owns a 2007 toyota corolla. While driving 35 mph the check engine light illuminated on the instrument control panel, and then the vehicle began to lose power and shut off completely. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, and a technician concluded that the engines computer needed to be replaced.the current mileage was 25030, failure mileage was21450.update 12/14/09updated 12/16/09
Unexpected, sudden, full acceleration while at a complete stop [with the transaxle in "drive"].
The engine would sound like a go kart.it was the exhaust manifold that was loose at the engine.the leaking exhaust would surely be mixing in with the inside air and would heat up the hood and surrounding areas.bolts needed to be tightened.
The contact owns a 2007 toyota corolla. The contact stated that the vehicle would hesitate to accelerate at all speeds. The failure progressed until the vehicle stopped accelerating completely. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and the contact was informed that the catalytic converter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The failure recurred approximately one year later. The vehicle was taken back to the authorized dealer and the contact was again informed that the catalytic converter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The failure continued. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 43,000.
My 2007 toyota corolla accelerated dangerously three times .i put on brakes with all my might, put it in parked position. No damage to anything, or anyone, but the sudden acceleration was scary. It's not among the recalled models. I removed the toyota floor mat from the driver's side.i will go back to dealer : i want them to look at the car's computer.
I just had the floor mat acceleration happen to me in my 2007 corolla.i was slowing down for a red light, so my foot was on the brake... The car suddenly accelerated so i threw the shift into neutraland i was able to pull the mat out from under theaccelerator and my car continued to slide like it was on ice and then came to a stop.
A/c stopped working at 42k miles. Bad expansion valve. Part cost around 40 dollars labor 6.5 hours at going shop rate of 80-100 dollars per hour, add the cost of removal of freon and cleaning system brings the bill to $600-$800 dollars. System is no longer under warranty.
The jack that was delivered with my 2007 toyota corolla collapsed twice while i was changing a tire.the front fender was damaged while it bounced onto the tire.it was lucky that i was not injured.i contacted toyota and was told that the incident was recorded at its national headquarters under file #200710110662 and was told to contact the local dealer to resolve the issues.the dealer ordered a new jack and compared it side by side with the defective jack in the normally raised position and determined that it was unstable.the jack was replaced and the fender damage resulted from the collapsed jack was also replaced by the dealer under factory warranty.it is likely that the same batch of jacks could have similar problems and could cause similar collapses that can cause injury to users.
As i approached traffic lights, i had to apply the brakes as yellow light was on but the car was still accelerating. Even after the brakes were completely applied, it went forward. To my bad, it was a snowy day in my place and my car skidded in to the left turn lane, got crashed in to the other car. My car's front bumper, head lights and couple of other parts were replaced for which i have spent $500 out of my pocket and the remaining amount was paid by my insurance company. Luckily there were no injuries to me, my 7 month pregnant wife andthe other car driver. Obviously my insurance premium got increased, my driving history was affected and car value is decreased due to accident history. My car tires and brakes were in perfect condition when this incident happened.now i am afraid to drive my car especially when it approaches traffic lights i feel extremely nervous. Whenever i recollect this bad moment i feel depressed. Please look into the issue. Requesting toyota to do the needful to remove such defects from their vehicles.
December 17, 2009 the ecm unit failed in our 2007 toyota corolla.engine cut off.this is a known problem. There was an angel on my daughter's shoulder as she was on a low traffic city street when this happened and she was able to pull over safely.if this had happened on the freeway it could've been deadly.
2-17-10 2007 toyota corolla stalled on 4 lane highway. I had to rent a car. Went back to the car and it started and ran fine for a few days. Then started stalling again. Once when on interstate i-26 i was in passing lane doing 65 mph and it stalled and i had to get it off the road. I was almost run over by irate motorist. If that's not a safety problem i don't know what is. Problem became progressively worse and it would stall every 10-15 miles. Took it to mechanic on 3-15-10 and he installed a new oxygen sensor and everything was fine for the next 100 miles. Now the check engine light is back on and the mechanic suspects the ecm is the problem. Now i'm afraid to drive the car. Don't know if used parts are available.
A fire started from underneath the car and came up through the back seat.entire car engulfed in flames in seconds except for front hood area and engine.faulty fuel line?
On july 29, 2008 i went to get into my 2007 toyota corolla and smelled gas.i crouched down to look under the car and noticed a gas leakcoming from the gas line under the gas tank.i got up to walk into the garage and when i closed the car door, the car exploded into flames.the explosion pushed me into the garage and i was able to get the garage door closed.the car was a total loss.after looking at other 2007 toyota corolla's it seems there is a defect in the fuel line under the car.the fuel line is the same consistency as a radiator hose and is the lowest hanging structure under the car, with an area that is not protected and could very well get punctured by normal road conditions causing a gas leak in the fuel line which is very dangerous, obviously, since ours exploded into flames and burned so hot that it melted the top of the engine. Toyota maintained no blame in this and did nothing to correct the problem.
The contact owns a 2007 toyota corolla sport.when the contact started the ignition, the check engine warning indicator immediately illuminated on the instrument panel.the indicator remained lit until the engine was turned off.she also smelled astrong odor of fuel outside of the vehicle.the vehicle was taken to the authorized dealer for diagnostic testing and they stated that the failure was related to the fuel system, which was common for this vehicle.thevehicle was repaired at that time.the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer on seven separate occasions for the identical failure, but there were no resolutions.the vehicle has not been repaired again.the vin and failure mileage were unknown.the current mileage was 22,000.
Filled gas tank as usual.on leaving gas station heard clanking noise.went home and thought something was loose in my trunk.checked- nothing was.my husband went under the car and found the heat shield for the gas tank loose.the next day i brought it to my mechanic.he had to replace the gas tank hanger.the plastic where they put the bolt had split apart. The bolt was broken in half and rusted.the new gas tank hanger has a completely different design so i am sure toyota is aware of this problem and as usual is being very "quiet".this was an expensive repair for me.toyota should have had a better way to secure the gas tank and heat shield.
It starts with the car not feeling like it is receiving fuel to the engine, then a couple of weeks later, it just dies and won't start back up.first time i was stopped at a red light, it just died and i had it pushed to the side of the road.i left the vehicle and returned half an hour later in which it did restart.i had the vehicle towed to the toyota dealership in which it turns out found that it was a censor that was bad and replaced.the second time it stalled on me, again, i could tell that fuel wasn't getting to the engine in short intervals.then a couple of weeks later, i was traveling at a speed of 55 mph when it just died and wouldn't start back up at all.it was towed again to the toyota dealership where they say it was a blown fuse.in both instances there is "power" to the vehicle.the radio, air, wipers, flashers, etc all work fine.but the engine doesn't work.
The contact owns a 2007 toyota corolla. While stopped at a traffic light, the vehicle suddenly accelerated. In order to stop the vehicle, the contact had to depress the brake pedal with both feet. The vehicle was merged into a parking lot and towed to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The technician was unable to locate the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 72,930.updated 12/09/14*lj updated 6/1/2015
The vehicle check engine light comes on.the codes identify it as p0456.when we took it to the dealer, they tried to tell us that an animal had made a small pinhole in the gas return line.they wanted to charge 600.00 to replace the tank or they could temporarily fix it until we could get that done.the temporary fix after a few months opened and we got the alert again.taking it back they said the temp fix was okay and they couldn't find anything wrong.upon return home, i looked and found the temp fix was electrical tape rapped around the line.there was evidence of leakage and you could smell the gas.i removed the tape and it appears this is a very thin hose.it is in a position over the tank where wind could blow it up and hit the underside of the car.that is not smooth and could have caused the puncture.taking to another dealer, they wanted to say the same thing.animal damage and they didn't even really investigate.i have the vehicle and hose.i also read a number of similar cases online.when you look at the hose, it does have an antichaphing foam near the lower half of the hose close to the wheel area.nothing on top of the tank.appears to me they know they have a chaphing problem and choose to blame it on animals as that is hard to prove.some of these vehicles have had explosions due to this issue.i think this is serious and needs investigation.
I was driving down the road, in my 2007 toyota corolla, when suddenly many of my indicator lights went on and the engine went dead, i also lost my power steering and my capability of braking/stopping. Thankfully i was only going about 20 miles per hour and my car came to a stop on its own, on a non-busy road. I was then able to turn the engine back on and drive 10 minutes back home. This was the first time this had happened in the three years of owning my car. Once home i called my service garage to make an appointment. I then went to start my car to drive it there and it would not turn over to start. After having it towed it was diagnosed that the fuel pump needed to be replaced.
I stopped at a gas station to fill my gas tank and while this was being done i heard a loud bang similar to a gunshot. When i started my car there was a loud rattling sound. I stopped the car and got out to look underneath but couldn't see anything hanging. Since i was near home i started the car and drove slowly home. I took it to the dealer the next day and they repaired the gas tank strap passenger side. I told them i considered this to be a design defection and a safety issue. They stated there has been no recall despite the fact that they had seen quite a few of the same problems. I had to pay for the repair. Toyotacorp has refused to reimburse me for the repair because my car is out of warranty. I have had many cars and have never had this problem before. I am told that there is a drivers side strap as well so i suppose i can look forward to this happening again plus since it is due to corrosion i can expect this to happen again in about five years. I do not know how likely this is to lead to the gas tank dropping but i don't feel to good about it.
My husband and i just dropped our two kids off at my mother-in-laws house and were on our way back home when i started to smell gas. I told my husband and he stated to pull the car over and he would check it out.he popped the hood and flames shot out from under the hood. The first thing that i thought was my husband was on fire.i jumped out of the car and found my husband on the other side of the car looking for the kids in the backseat and he was screaming get out of the car. I jumped out of the car and we ran. We looked back and all i saw was a big ball of fire.when the fired department put out the flames all that was left of my car was a burnt frame, the 2 back tires and the spoiler. My husband and i are really upset by this situation. What ifour five months old and nine year old was in the car at the time? what if my husband was burnt severely by the fire? what would happen to the children if both of us died in the fire?
This car only has 65,000 miles on it and has hardly been driven given the fact that it is 4 years old.i heard a loud rattling noise and took it to a mechanic. He told me that a bolt came off the heat shield by the gas tank.i'm surprised that such a lightly driven car could already have such expensive problems.as stated here, toyota has a new design for heat shield which clearly gives problems: http://www.arfc.org/complaints/2007/toyota/corolla/10454289.aspx.
While driving on the highway, the rpms dropped and there was a total loss of power.i had to coast to the side of the highway, the engine light came on.the car had approx. 19,500 miles on it.i had the car towed to the dealer and they replaced the computer module and the fuel pump.four days later the car died again while driving and i had to have it towed a second time and the dealer replaced the fuel pump and gasket.the car has 26,000 miles on it now and has not repeated this incident.needless to say, my perception of quality is negative.
1- an undetectable event caused a small hole in the fuel line of a toyota corolla.the air in the garage where the car was parked overnight was permeated with the odor of gasoline, and introduced the real possibility of an explosion.2- the failure is a weakness in the strength and durability of the fuel line of toyota corollas. The fuel line had a small puncture and filled the confined area with gasoline vapor.3 - toyota required a replacement of the fuel line and gas tank, claiming that a rodent chewed through the fuel line.the new gas tank has the same design flaws and weaknesses as the old gas tank and can easily be punctured.fuel line problems have happened in more than one toyota corolla that the company has owned; one of which burst into flames.(these are to be the subjects of separate complaints.) that a rodent (or any other insignificant cause) may damage a fuel line in this way is a serious weakness that presents a clear danger to anyone owning and driving this car. Toyota customer service refused to acknowledge or escalate this as a problem to management.the toyota dealer also refused to recognize this fire hazard as a problem and communicated that it should be accepted as normal.the old part is currently available.

The contact owns a 2007 toyota corolla. The contact stated that the straps that holds the fuel tank broke. As a result, the broken strap then bounced up and down on the exhaust pipe. The contact mentioned that there was no fuel spillage.the failure mileage was 49,500 and the current mileage was 51,000.updated 11/27/12*ljthe consumer stated the bouncing of the shield could rupture the fuel tank causing the fuel tank to leak and result in a fire.

The fuel tank strap broke on my 2007 toyota corolla. The car is just four years old and has15,868 miles on it. This vehicle never had any rough driving. The toyota dealership replaced the strap at a cost of $140.
Rear gas tank support strap corroded. Replaced by dealer. Noticed during scheduled service.
Since i have had the car i had an issues.i have changed the transmission twice.it used to blow threw brake pads until i paid to have that repaired.oil consumption was a quart now my piston isn't working.i called toyota even about safety bag recall which never got fixed.i was told there were no recalls on my car and everything was fine.when i told about air bag recall i saw on the news i was told they will be sending all the information in the mail.it never came.i would like have my money back.the cost of repairs.i have always bought toyota.this has been unfair not letting your customer receive the repairs due to them for installing faulty parts.i have done everything and now i need to get a new piston.02/082020
Ihad just started the car up and was pulling out of a parking lot.the car excelerated on its own .i could not control the speedand it did not respond to my trying to break. I had to put the car in neutral to regain control.i missed htiting another vehicle and people walking in the parking lot.i had the car repaired technician suggested throttle body replacement. . to correct the problem the throttle body was replaced with gasket and performed relearn. Total cost $619.50 jan .2 2019
The contact owns a 2007 toyota corolla. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 mph, there was a loud noise coming from the rear of the vehicle without warning. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel tank strap needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure and current mileage was 35,303.
The contact owns a 2007 toyota corolla. The contact stated that there was a loud noise coming from the rear of the vehicle. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and it was determined that a plastic part of the fuel strap mounting bracket failed and allowed the fuel tank to bang against the heat shield. The vehicle was repaired but the remedy failed. The failure mileage was 85,438 and the current mileage was 85,600.
I have been smelling strong gas smell with my 2007 corolla car.the rpm reves high.in just a 20 mile trip i can visabily see the gas go down on the gas odomitor.no warning lights are on but there is something defineatly wrong with my 2007 ce corolla.
Started car this morning and the check engine light came on. Took to parts store and hooked it up to the computer and found codes (p2401, p043e, p043f, p2402, p2419) everything i have researched comes back to evap canister failure, and possible wiring failure. More research shows these issues causing people getting stranded and others with no problem other then light, and others with a strong gas smell. If this causes a gas smell, then a potential fire hazard is formed.
Fuel tank protector band on the sub assembly rustedand broke off -.the 2 remaining bolts held. If it would have completely fallen offthe car behind us could have hit it and we would not be aware that the assembly to protect the fuel tank was missing.
The check engine light came on. Took it to a mechanic & he said the gas cap wasn't on tight enough. That worked for a couple months before the light came on again. So the next step we replaced the gas cap & a week later it came back on. The mechanic now says it's the fuel tank needs replaced.
The contact owns a 2007 toyota corolla. The contact stated that the strap that held the heat shield and the fuel tank fractured. The fuel tank and heat shield were attached to the vehicle by a very small portion of the strap. The contact was concerned that the vehicle would possibly catch on fire or explode if driven over a massive road bump.the vehicle was taken to the dealer who was unable to determine if the failure was caused by a manufacturing defect. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who filed a complaint. The failure and current mileage was 53,138.
2007 toyota corolla experiencing throttle surging.the consumer stated the vehicle took off suddenly. He applied the brake as hard as he could, but before the vehicle stopped it crashed into a heavy tool box and some other containers and into the back wall of the garage.the bumper was damaged. The second time, while backing out of the garage, the vehicle suddenly took off again. He immediately applied the brake forcefully, but the vehicle did not stop before he reached the street. There was no damage. The third time, the vehicle suddenly surged forward in the midst of stop and go traffic. Fortunately, there was space between it and the car ahead, so he was able to stop before contact. The consumer also stated he had problems with the door and ignition. He had four different batteries in the vehicle since it was purchased. He was told that the first two had bad cells in them.
I have a 2007 toyota corolla with 55k miles that one of the rear wheels locked up an would not rotate.the car could not be moved as the passenger rear wheel became locked.after towing to the dealership, they removed the rear brake drums and cleaned dust and rust from inside the drums.luckily the rear brakes did not become "stuck" on a roadway where there was traffic.
The first time i experienced problems with my brakes occurred on april 28th, 2007.i was exiting a parking lot that had a downward slope and as i merged onto the main road, i stepped on my brakes but my car would not stop.i was forced to use the emergency brakes, but even then, the vehicle did not come to a complete stop for another 10 yards. On may 2nd, 2007, i took the vehicle to be checked at hollywood toyota in los angeles, ca. The invoice notes state that the causes for the brake problems on this particular occasion were that the 'brake pedal was spongy' and the 'brakes were out of adjustment'.for the vehicle being brand new and me being the first owner, i find it rather disturbing that these brake problems had already become an issue after only one month of ownership.on march 24th, 2009, another significant braking incident happened. As i entered the driveway of my home,i stepped on the accelerator to go up the driveway's incline and then tapped on my brakes. When i tapped on the brakes the vehicle would not stop.i pulled on the emergency brakes but it still did not stop.i was forced to steer my vehicle in the direction of my house in order for the vehicle to hopefully stop with the impact.the front driver's side of the vehicle broke through a wooden fence surrounding my front garden before the vehicle hit the corner of my house and finally came to a halt.the most serious braking failure incident occurred on june 25th, 2009 in the kaiser sunset parking structure. I put the car in reverse to pull out of my parking spot.i then shifted to drive while applying my brakes. Since the structure was at an incline the vehicle gained velocity as i drove down to the lower levels to exit. I pressed on my brakes but it did not work.i then pulled on the emergency brakes but the vehicle still would not stop. I was forced to hit the exit cross bar so that the impact would stop my vehicle from moving.
On 11/10/09 my wife was driving a toyota corolla 2007,that we own.the road was wet. She was driving at approximately 30 mph .was a car and half away from the next vehicle . The car in front a toyota suvstopped ,sheapplied the brake pedal . The corolla skidded and hit the car in front. After the car stopped my wife realized the parking brake level was in the up position. The passenger air bag never deployed this is the first time we have an accident with this vehicle.
My vehicle becomes disabled while in motion, the check engine light becomes illuminated and the accelerator stops responding.to avoid danger i am forced to pull over immediately or coast to a stop and turn the car off and on several times, often having to wait several minutes before it becomes operational again.the problem is increasing in severity and has gotten to a point where the car is a hazard and therefore is of no use until it is fixed.this problem has been happening every 20-30 miles for the last 6 months or so, but one time the car was able to travel 150 miles without an issue, while other times it will stall and then stall again no more than a mile later.the car has been officially recalled for safety reasons by toyota, but the dealership has refused to fix the problem, insisting that the recall does not apply.the recall: "the engine control module (ecm) for certain 2005 through 2008 toyota corolla and corolla matrix models equipped with the 1zz-fe engine and two-wheel drive may have been improperly manufactured. There is a possibility that a crack may develop at certain solder points or on varistors on the circuit board. In most cases, if a crack occurs at certain points or on certain varistors, the engine warning lamp could be illuminated, harsh shifting could result, or the engine may not start. In limited instances, if cracking occurs on particular solder points or varistors, the engine could stop while the vehicle is being driven increasing the risk of a crash."the dealer insists that my car stalls because of a different part, the throttle, and they are trying to charge me more than $1000 to fix the problem.
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
The contact owns a 2007 toyota corolla. The vehicle was purchased brand new in 2007. Two months after the vehicle was purchased, the factory alarm system engaged intermittently. The dealer repaired the alarm failure. In september of 2011, the check engine warning indicator illuminated. On february 21, 2012, a warning indicator illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle rolled backwards without warning while parked. The dealer test drove the vehicle and determined that the vehicle was functioning as designed. The dealer produced a failure code detected for the torque converter clutch lock up and recommended that the transmission assembly be replaced. On february 24, 2012, an ecm recall repair was performed. Also in 2012, the contact noticed rust on the hood of the vehicle and small white circles (the size of basketballs) on the rear bumper and trunk. Two years later, leopard like spots were present on the roof of the vehicle. The manufacturer and dealer were notified of the defects. The manufacturer scheduled an appointment with the dealer in december of 2016 for diagnostic testing. The dealer determined that there were only paint chips on the vehicle and failed to include the extensive amount of rust on the roof. The service manager informed the contact that they would use oxidation on the vehicle regarding the rust. The manufacturer stated that the paint used on the vehicle was environmentally safe. In addition, the contact received a recall notice for the air bags. It was unknown if the notice pertained to the passenger or driver side air bag. The nhtsa campaign numbers and failure mileage were not provided. The vin was invalid.
I was driving uphill on a one-way street in downtown when i saw and heard the sparks about 1 minute apart from each other on the front left side between the crack of the hood, the car lost power and turned off. I started it again, and it only moved about two feet and turned off. The car started to roll back, and the steering wheel locked making it impossible to steer. An unknown driver who was in front of us was merging to park to the right told us to get off because the car was on fire, next the smoke was visible. It began to smell like burned plastic, and then we saw the thick grey smoke coming through the crack of the hood. I pulled the hand emergency brake to stop the car from rolling back down any further. I opened the hood we all got out of the car.i went back inside the car to unhooked the harness off my dog. I was so scared that i couldn't release my dog, and my son's girlfriend helped me, and we got my dog out. My son, his girlfriend and i got the super-size large drink we just bought at mcdonald's and dumped on the fire with the help of the unknown man who got a bucket of some liquid possibly water from the hotel next to us, and the fire was out. I was so terrifying of how rapid my car caught on fire and how fast everything happening. My car was well maintained by toyota regularly, and the mechanic told us that there is no known reason why the fire started. Toyota has replaced the defected computer twice, the transmission once, i had two electrical problems in the past, and i do not feel safe in a car with so many manufacturers defective parts. Unexplainable fire, is the response i got from the insurance and repair shop which does not make me feel safe to drive a car that could caught fire at any time.
The contact owns a 2007 toyota corolla. The contact stated that the vehicle decelerated on its own in traffic. The contact placed the vehicle in park, shut off, and restarted the engine. Afterwards, the contact was able to drive home safely. Also, while driving 20-40 mph, the vehicle hesitated while shifting gears and the check engine indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to toyota marietta (750 cobb pkwy s, marietta, ga 30060, (470) 938-8436) where it was diagnosed that a computer update needed to be performed. The dealer stated that the contact would be responsible for the repair cost because the vin was not included in a recall; however, the vehicle experienced the same symptoms as listed in nhtsa campaign number: 10v384000 (engine and engine cooling). The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 72,000.
An increase in acceleration with my foot off the accelerator pedal.
2007 toyota corolla unintended acceleration.consumer states that engine accelerated at high speed, unable to control car or brake effectively. *njthe consumer stated since purchasing the vehicle, there was some hesitancy in starting the vehicle during summer months and jerky acceleration.
Purchased used 2007 corolla. (purchased as is no warranty from a used car dealership) one week later check engine light comes on and after checking with dealer i bought it from (ezauto) and transmission shop i got conflicting reports of what was wrong so i took it directly to toyota and they said i have to have new transmission.is this covered under some extended warranty or am i responsible for getting it fixed?
The transmission wont shift right and wont allow me to go on the high way
Stop the car while driving.big crash noise just like conflicting metals.1/14/08 dealer changed the ecm at 13,699 miles.after then when stopped and idling in drive with brakes on the rpms drop and there is tapping noise from the passenger front side of car. But the service always told me your car is fine. I had to do maintenance service for transmission oil change and30,000 miles service at 26,68miles.
Veh purchased new may, 2007. It had less than 150 miles on it when the 1st incident happened.i was driving down a grade at approx 65 mph. There was a traffic light approx 350 to 450 ft ahead.i knew i could not make the light so i applied my brakes.the transmission or engine seemed to seize up and surge and my brakes were almost useless.it is an auto transmission & all i could think to do to stop was brake hard & shift into park.this did stop it...but i was frightened.subsequently, approx two months later, while on vacation out of state, the veh started making a ticking sound as soon as the engine hit 3000 rpm's.upon returning to ca i took the car to the dealer and told him about both problems.they supposedly put it on their scope & no diagnoses code appeared.they said the noise was a loose hose???funny it only ticked at exactly 3000 rpm's!!!.they could not explain the seizing and surging.this car has now done this seizing and surging thing three more times.it is scary and frightening!!the 2nd & 3rd times, i again was on a down grade going around 65 mph at around 3000 rpm's.again it was a situation where i braked that caused the seizing then surging.the last & 4th time this thing happened was last week.i was idling in a drive through , waiting for my food.the transmission was in drive &i had my foot on the brake.it was in this position for about 5-7 minutes, moving slowly forward every 1-2 minutes.it was a warmer day- as i moved forward again, i pushed the a/c button to circulate some air.suddenly, the car surged forward..made an awful sound & no amount of braking seemed to hold it .again, as with the very first time, this brought the car into control!i work out of town and depend on having a car....but i am getting scared to drive this car.i have approx 8,500 miles on it now.i don't know if i trust the dealer to take this matter seriously & would really like toyota's help.
Power train:automatic transmissioni bought the brand new corolla 2007. The check engine light was on and off for several months. The error code read p0741. Toyota dealer advised to replace whole transmission. This car was less than 5 years old with 75,000 miles on it. The dealer need to charge $4,000 to replace the transmission.
In may 21, 2009, when my husband was driving in a 45 mph road, the car speed suddenly couldn't maintain and started to decrease although the accelerator pedal was depressed. Then found the car engine stalled and couldn't restart. Fortunately, there was no other car hit his car when this happened. But engine suddenly stall while driving, especially in a highway could be life threatening problem, which could be even worse than sudden acceleration.i have read qcsreport00203 report regarding electronic throttle control systems in toyota consumer complaints to nhtsa. In this report it states: it is frequently possible to determine whether an electronic throttle control system is used in an engine in a specific vehicle once the make, the model, the model year, and the corresponding toyota engine family are identified.in 2007 toyota corolla owners' manual, page107, it clearly states: if engine speed does not increase when the accelerator pedal is depressed, there may be a problem somewhere in the electronic throttle control system. From this statement, it tells that toyota does aware the engine sudden stall problem and the defectiveness of the electronic throttle control system. Toyota should take responsibility on 2007 corolla as well.
2007 toyota corolla engine and transmission computer broke while i was driving on highway 128 north.i was going 60 miles per hour at 7:45am on monday morning when the engine totally stalled.that was very dangerous and could have killed me and others if they hit me.i was lucky to be able to go all the way to the right and stop on the break down lane to call aaa for a tow to the toyota dealer where they run a scan and found out that the computer needs replacement.the car was still under warranty and worked fine once they replaced the computer.my complain is that this incident could have easily killed me and others.
Re: toyota 2007 corolla: when driving (in reverse) out of our driveway, on several occasions the car would suddenly jerk, emit a lot of fumes, and it would take off on its own. Putting pressure on the brakes would not stop the car- only turning off the ignition key stops the car. Last time this occurred was on november 4, 2014. After driving out of the driveway and changing gears from reverse to drive, the car again jerked, made a left turn, drove across our lawn, through the bushes and to our next door neighbor?s lawn. We are lucky that it did not slam into our house or the electric pole close to our driveway- either one would probably have killed us. The car has its own mind and does not respond to anything that the driver tries to do to stop the car from moving other than turning off the ignition key. The toyota dealer, of course, asserts that there is nothing wrong with the car.

My 2007 toyota corolla with approximately 68,000 miles is suddenly having harsh to violent transmission shifts after the check engine light came on.i had a shop identify or diagnose the check engine light code.they said it was code p2716.i conducted an internet investigation and discovered several people also experiencing identical issues.also, the same investigation revealed toyota was aware of the issue and released a technical service bulletin.to me, the problem is not an issue of wear and tear.instead, it's clear there's a defect in a part of the car which can potentially lead to an accident.
I was looking for an unfamiliar address on a very steep hill, and i stopped briefly to look around.i took my foot off the brake and, as would be expected, rolled back a bit while moving from brake to gas.i pressed the gas pedal and got no response; my car started rolling uncontrollably and swiftly backward.no gas, no brake.i was able to stop my car only by pulling the parking brake.i learned at the dealership the my car was designed to do this.no kidding; if you roll back more than a couple of inches when your car is in "drive," as you will necessarily do on a steep hill, your engine will shut off automatically and you will lose control of your car.the tech at the dealership acted like i was an idiot for not knowing this.i asked "so the engine will shut off to save the transmission, at the expense of lives and property threatened by an uncontrollable vehicle?"he just shrugged. It is a miracle that i did not hit anyone or end up in the trees.the 2007 toyota corolla is an unsafe car, and should be taken off the road.
Veh purchased new may, 2007. It had less than 150 miles on it when the 1st incident happened.i was driving down a grade at approx 65 mph. There was a traffic light approx 350 to 450 ft ahead.i knew i could not make the light so i applied my brakes.the transmission or engine seemed to seize up and surge and my brakes were almost useless.it is an auto transmission & all i could think to do to stop was brake hard & shift into park.this did stop it...but i was frightened.subsequently, approx two months later, while on vacation out of state, the veh started making a ticking sound as soon as the engine hit 3000 rpm's.upon returning to ca i took the car to the dealer and told him about both problems.they supposedly put it on their scope & no diagnoses code appeared.they said the noise was a loose hose???funny it only ticked at exactly 3000 rpm's!!!.they could not explain the seizing and surging.this car has now done this seizing and surging thing three more times.it is scary and frightening!!the 2nd & 3rd times, i again was on a down grade going around 65 mph at around 3000 rpm's.again it was a situation where i braked that caused the seizing then surging.the last & 4th time this thing happened was last week.i was idling in a drive through , waiting for my food.the transmission was in drive &i had my foot on the brake.it was in this position for about 5-7 minutes, moving slowly forward every 1-2 minutes.it was a warmer day- as i moved forward again, i pushed the a/c button to circulate some air.suddenly, the car surged forward..made an awful sound & no amount of braking seemed to hold it .again, as with the very first time, this brought the car into control!i work out of town and depend on having a car....but i am getting scared to drive this car.i have approx 8,500 miles on it now.i don't know if i trust the dealer to take this matter seriously & would really like toyota's help.
I bought a brand new toyota corolla 2007, recently i have had the check engine light come on and off for several months.when i went to check on what was the problem at the dealership they advised me i needed another transmission.i am concerned because the car isn't even 4 years old and the dealership says it is not my fault.they told me the transmission converter torque is sticking, and that they would replace for $5700.00.the only way to repair it , is to.

I have a 2007 toyota corolla with 30k miles on it.two weeks ago my check engine light turned on and the automatic transmission began shifting roughly.after a while it would start running ok and the check engine light would go off.i took it to jiffy lube thinking that it was low on transmission fluid and it was not.this continued for two weeks and i took it to the dealership this morning.they replaced the ecm under warranty.i looked this problem up on the internet and discovered that this is widespread and very dangerous in certain instances.the web site that i visited is http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/showthread.php?t=201631&page=3.i strongly urge your organization to get on top of this before someone gets killed.toyota should have recalled these vehicles.my concern now is that how long will the new ecm last and is it safe.is the same company manufacturing the replacement ecms?i believe delco manufactured the originals.can delco be forced to close their doors for endangering the public?shame on toyota!i won't buy another one.
I drive a 2007 toyota corolla s automatic. I bought it brand new & had about 72,000 miles on it at the time of the incident. I had noticed for a few weeks that my car was shifting into reverse quite roughly, delayed & jerking. I figured i would get it checked at my next oil change. While i was stopped at an intersection waiting to turn left, my car stalled. I stepped on the pedal to accelerate but it just revved my car & wouldn't go. I tried switching into reverse with the same result. Then i restarted my car a couple times until it finally started moving again. I thought it was a fluke so i kept driving. Unfortunately, as i drove on, the car just decelerated and stalled again. At that point, i called a tow truck. My car was taken to repair shop where the diagnostic was ecm issues & transmission failure. My mechanic called toyota to get the ecm replaced & my transmission had to be rebuilt.
While driving to work in the morning, the 'check engine' light for my 2007 toyota corolla came on, and the car began to 'jerk' or 'stutter', as though it was switching gears or losing power.my husband and i took the car into the dealer, and they found codes p0441, and most importantly p2716 -- correction was r&r engine control module, and the people working on it seemed to have knowledge of the issue.
Purchased used 2007 corolla. (purchased as is no warranty from a used car dealership) one week later check engine light comes on and after checking with dealer i bought it from (ezauto) and transmission shop i got conflicting reports of what was wrong so i took it directly to toyota and they said i have to have new transmission.is this covered under some extended warranty or am i responsible for getting it fixed?

On november 26, 2013 at about 5 pm i drove out of a parking lot in the left lane taking a left turn and continued driving with the flow of traffic in the left lane, which was about 30 miles per hour; it was dark and starting to drizzle;i was wearing my seatbelt;i was suddenly hit from behind by a car and we crashed into the car in front of me;immediately upon rear impact i was thrown into the steering wheel at an angle hitting my sternum on the right side of the steering wheel;my injuries were a severely bruised sternum, and continuing neck and back injuries; my car was totaled;i contacted toyota on november 30, 2013 to complain as my air bag did not deploy and my seatbelt did not lock;on january 16, 2014 i received a letter from toyota stating that they inspected the car on december 23, 2013; i was told that i would receive a copy of the inspection, which i did not;the response from toyota was that for the non-deployment of the air bag it was determined that the rear of the other vehicle overrode the front bumper of my vehicle;for the seatbelt failing to lock it was determined that there were no abnormalities observed with the seatbelt and latched;i am requesting an investigation of my complaint;although toyota is stating that the seatbelt latched and released as designed my concern is not that the seatbelt latched and released but that the seatbelt failed to lock and i know that the seatbelt did not lock because if it had worked properly i would not have slammed into the steering wheel and the air bag did not deploy;toyota stated that the inspection determined that the incident was not a result of a manufacturing or design defect;my complaint is not that the incident was causedby a defect with the car as that was caused by the other driver but that if the air bag and seatbelt functioned as expected, my injuries may have been avoided or not as severe.
Rare left, right and central seat belts are loose. Not working.
We where driving back from a family function and when we got home, the seatbelt would not retract back in. We had been having trouble with the seatbelts locking for awhile but this was the first time the belt did not retract. I call the dealer and they told me it would be $800.00 so i did not get it fixed because i could not afford it. The second seatbelt went out while we were driving at about 65mph and were at about 100,000 miles. The seatbelt locked so we removed it to reset it and heard a loud noise and then it stopped working. The third rear belt was a hard time retracting as well. The dealer tested it and it also failed their tests. The dealer now says that they are not responsible even though this is not mechanical failure and has nothing to do with mileage. This has been a safety issue and i should not have to put a dime into this repair.
My car's all seatbelts not retracting properly, especially the both rare belts. Needs to fix immediately.
I leased this toyota corolla ce in may 2007 (new) & since that first day the driver's seat constantly moves out of position 1/2 inch or more in all directions.. Every time i get in to the car i have to re-adjust the seat & i cannot figure out why this happens.. I hope no one ever hits me in the rear because the seat will move in some direction & out of alignment with the air bag if that even opens..i thought i was the only owner with this problem until i just read another complaint for the same issue on the same vehicle.. I have filed 4 lemon law complaints on this vehicle for various issues including the tires & toyota claims these complaints are all the result of'design flaws' & refuses to fix any of the complaints & passes the tire problem off to goodyear who then passes the problem back to toyota.. This vehicle is the worse car i have ever owned and is a death trap even the seat belts don't work correctly..
Driver seat moves forward approximately 1/8 inch, dealer replaced seat assembly, problem remains, checked other new cars on the dealer lot, all cars of same model had movement of drivers seat to different degrees.

1-takata recall: nhtsa recall number: 15v285, manufacturer recall number: dsf. Toyota dealerships have not fixed the problem, though i called them long time ago about it.2-steering wheel vibrates too much causing hand numbness.3-brakes are not abs. Even in iran, 2007 manufactured cars arerequired to have abs brake system.
On a rainy october 28, 2012 sunday, i was traveling on rte. 73, in moorsetown, nj and i attempted to get off 73 and go down the rte. 295 n ramp.as i went down the ramp, i put on my brakes to slow down and all of a sudden it felt like my car was flying.the brakes locked up, the car spun around and crashed into the curb so hard on the drivers side, that it totaled the back and front rims of my tires. Then once i thanked god for not letting there be any cars around me and letting me be alright, then i attempted to move the car.i backed the car up a little bit then pressed down on brake to change gear into drive and turned steering wheel away from curb, and my car flew to the other side of the ramp and crashed into the curb on the passengers side of which damaged the front rim on that side and through all of this the air bag never ejected.i could kind of understand that it was wet and the car hydroplaned before first crash.but i don't understand how before the car took off the second time while i had my foot on the brake and barely moving, brakes were completely locked up.at this point i was scared to move the car again, so i just cut the car off and sat there for a while, then turned it back on, then it felt like brakes were alright when i pressed down on it. I took my car back to the dealer i bought it from and asked them to check the brakes and of course they said that it was nothing wrong with them.at this point and time, i do not trust this car, but i do trust god to keep me safe in this car or else i wouldn't even drive it after that episode.i needed to get 3 new rims, 1 tire, a hub cap and wheel alignment for my car and i just thank god that there was no other damages.and now i'm just waiting on the lord to give me the opportunity to get a suv and it won't be a toyota.
When ever i turn off the car then start it again and move either forward or backward there is a grinding sound in my forward break area.i took it in to toyota and was told that they couldn't recreate the sound.i took it to a private mechanic and he replaced a part twice.it stops grinding for a couple of days but then it comes back.it now happens nearly every time i go forward or backwards.also, if i go over a bumpy stretch of road or suddenly step on my brakes the brakes grind and i am unable to stop for a few seconds.it seems like something is wrong with the abs.this is an ongoing problem that happens daily.

This happened about four weeks apart with two different drivers under similar conditions.we were slowing to stop at a stop sign traveling 5-10 mph and when we applied the brake, the engine reved up. When it happened to me the the car wouldn't stop when i applied the brake so i put the car into neutral and thus avoided hitting car ahead of me.i took the vehicle to my local toyota dealer.they had it for a day and half and said they could find nothing wrong.they said i should remove my after market car mat ( which i have) and suggested that both drivers had applied the brake and accelorator at the same time.i think this is highly unlikely as my foot isn't wide enough to do both unless my foot is nearly off the brake. The car mat in question has been the car for 6 plus years and is a custom made one which does not slip.
While entering a curve my car slowed down then all of a sudden accelerated to an uncontrollable speed, i tried to regain control of my car by tapping on the brakes which did not help my situation as a matter of fact it made things worse, to avoid oncoming traffic i hit a pole again at a high rate of speed which made my car spin, i am a professional school bus driver & have taken this and many other curves for years, i could not explain why this car did what it did, as a result of this crash i received a reckless driver ticket and 2 points on my license because it was a one car accident, the only explanation that the authorities could give me was hydroplane, thats not what happened it was as if this car my car of 7 years had a mind of its on and started racing.
I am filing a complaint to report a brake failure on my toyota corolla 2007 with 42,000 miles on the odometer. On june 25, 2013, i was in the passenger seat and my son was driving the car when the brakes began to fail. To slow down, he had to push on the brake pedal gradually further and further until it eventually reached the floor, making then the hissing sound of air forced through a small opening. We went into a parking lot and, by the time we found a space, the brakes were gone. We used the hand-brake to stop.two hours later, when the tow truck came, i discovered that the brakes were functional again. The next day, the dealer, toyota north of mount kisco, ny, was unable to replicate the failure and was at a loss to advise me. The brakes being so critical to safe driving and intermittent failure being unacceptable, i decided to change the master cylinder at own my expense. Regrettably, when i went to get the car on june 28, 1013, i was told that neither the dealer nor toyota would take the master cylinder apart to understand why it failed. An opportunity to improve future safety was lost.
Had the front brake pads and rotors replaced on car march 1, 2013.a month and a half later i heard grinding noise from left wheel.took car in on 4/11/13 and was told brake pads and rotors were fine, but that the hub and bearing were failing on the left. Was also told this was rare thatthey don't usually see a hub and bearing failing at this mileage.this is a serious problem and if you do not do anything about it your wheel could fall off.i was advised by someone with experience with this problem to go ahead and fix it which i did on 4/16/13. Was also advised by this same person that the failure was probably the result of a factory defect, but at this point there is no way to prove it and the car is out of warranty.thewarrantyfor this repair is only a year and the failure rate after fixing this type of issue is high.i no longer trust my car!!!!!
Driving around 7:30 pm suddenly traffic comes to a halt, i brake and the car does not slow down at all, i was going between 35 to 40 miles an hour.the brakes did not do anything but the car was still accelerating.i hit the car in front of me.this happened before when i was on the highway but luckily i did not hit anyone.but this time i did $6000 damages to my car.took it to the dealership for repair and mentioned that the car did not stop and they did not question it again.i notice that i am not the only one this has happened to.i heard that some models of toyota's have this problem.

This is the second time this has happened.as i approached a red light, i put my foot on the brake but the car kept on slowly going ahead.my foot was down to the floor on the brake, but it still went forward and i had to swerveto the right so as not to have an accident.i had the brake system checked by two different mechanics at two different shops and they could not find anything wrong.would the gas pedal have anything to do with it?two different auto shops, looked at the brake system and they could not find anything wrong.when this happens, there is a loud whirring sound from underneath the car.my car already had the 90000 mile checkup and with minor adjustments of belts etc. It passed with flying colors.now i am afraid to drive it. Please help me.
Check engine light came on 11/14/10 and car started slam shifting, and died on freeway. The car started again, and i took it to xx in moreno valley next day. Dealer said faulty ecu (dtc p2716) and the part must be ordered. I asked if they could provide a loaner car because i don't feel safe driving the car with a faulty ecm. I was told part will most likely be in tuesday or wednesday. The dealer said a loaner car would not be provided unless the car totally stop operating. I live in san bernardino and work in moreno valley, approx 26 miles one way. I have aaa towing basic for 6 miles. I would usually purchase aaa southern ca automobile club towing for up to 100 miles, but because i bought a new reliable toyota, i just got the basic towing in case the battery died. I don't have towing to get the car to moreno valley in case it completely stops running. I'm worried about safety and logistics! i don't trust this toyota corolla. Dealer will not keep the car and give me a loaner until the part arrives. Will toyota be responsible if this car stalls again in traffic and causes an accident?will toyota be responsible if this car needs to be towed to the dealer? will toyota be responsible if the transmission becomes damaged from the hard shifting? will toyota be responsible if the car catches fire from faulty electrical wiring? this corolla has had brake and steering problems.brake fluid always low, although brakes verified as repaired and okay by technician. The wheel bearing on the front driver's side wheel is going bad and the tire will not hold air. The tire has been examined and is good. I smell electrical burning once in awhile. The belt tensioner pulley bearing bad. Occasionally, smell antifreeze, which indicates a leaking head gasket.wind noise, windows creak when moved up/down. The locks squeak. The interior rattles. The paint job is runny, weld points are sloppy. Car stalling, slam shifting, then cutting off. The car has a little over 50,000 miles.
My abs brakes *toyota corolla 2007) stop braking when going over uneven road or wet roads. It has been like this since i bought it in december 2006. It occurs every time in described situations.nothing has yet been done to repair situation. Was told by dealer that it was normal...
My brakes momentarily fail at times when i pass over uneven surfaces on the road.it occurs a few times every week (i commute about 20 miles everyday).i live in chicago, and this brake failure occurs in nice weather as well as during snowy or rainy conditions.i have had my tires checked, and they are not the problem.the brake failure began to occur when the car was new.my tire pressure light comes on all the time for no reason.my mechanic has a toyota corolla too and he told me his goes on all the time as well.i just press the tire pressure button in the car to make it go off.

I was driving coming from my sister in laws house at grandview, washington leaving around 7:40 am heading home to seattle going west to interstate-82 on friday, august 22, 2008 with my three kids. I was using my cruise control and stayed on the left lane for about 20 to 30 minutes. We just left yakima city and headed to the fred redmon memorial bridge at around 8:30 am going up hill, in which i saw two tractor-trailer far in advance and both were driving on the right lane. The left lane was open as i drove in to the bridge but then the other tractor-trailer made a change to go to the left lane. I was probably 50 feet away when the other tractor-trailer made the change to the left lane. I was cruising about 50 to 60 mph in which i have to put my right foot on the brake pedal. At first, i thought i step on my gas pedal because the car did not slowdown a bit. I pressed the button to turn off the cruise control and hit the foot brake again and again. I then realized that my brakes did not work. As i was getting too closed to the left lane truck, i panicked and made a change to go to right and rear-ended the volvo tractor-trailer.
Ever since my vehicle was purchased, i would hear a squeaking/grinding noise coming from the front of the vehicle when i hit the brake pedal.the sound only existed when i put the vehicle to reverse.however, near the 20,000 miles point, the sound has become louder and exist even when driving forward and braking.i have reported this problem to three different toyota dealerships and they are unable to repair it.the problem occurs when i need to stop the vehicle and push on the brake pedal.there would be a loud grinding noise and sometimes the brake pedal would also vibrate.the toyota dealerships have changed my brake pads and performed several inspections.however, it did not solve the problem.now they are refusing to do anything and claims that the problem is normal (at nearly 60,000 miles).i feel that there is something really wrong and unsafe about the situation.what if the brakes fail at any moment?what steps should i take?even toyota customer experience service is telling me that the dealer diagnostic says it is a normal condition.
Safety issue:i have 2007 ( new from the dealer) corolla has only 46k miles, i replaced the brakes at 31k. At the end of 2009 when the dealer confirmed that the brake pads needed to be replaced i was surprised to hear that for a two year old car with only 31k. I did replace the brake pads to protect the car.yesterday, the car had a grinding noise, so i took the car to the dealer and he told me that the left padwas completely gone, i was surprised, because it is only has 15k since the last time he replaced the brake pads, he told me that the caliper was stuck and caused this problem becausemoisture entered the brake disc and froze the disk and froze the calipers and caused this. The car has only 46k and to change the brakes twice there is some design and safety issue with moisture getting into the caliper. It is toyota's design and all corolla 's in the usa need to be fixed, to keep moisture from getting into the caliper and causing it to stick. It is public safety.i did not fix the car with the dealer because he was so ignorant and i am concerned about the toyota service at this dealer and i will elevate that to a higher level with a district attorney because it is public safety concern for me and my family and the public.updated ivoq 08/30/11
We have a 2007 toyota corolla ce whose brakes wore down too fast.we purchased brand new in 2007 with 58 miles on the car.at around 20,000 miles, when we pressed the brakes, there was play in the pedal and there was a pull to the right slightly.toyota, repaired the brakes since our car was under warranty.now our brakes are wearing down again and pulling to the side again. The consumer also stated the dealer recommended having the timing cover re-sealed, to stop a fluid leak. On may 8, 2015, the valve cover gasket was replaced. However, the dealer did not address the timing cover leak although they recommended re-sealing it. Updated 09/02/15.
Unexpected, sudden, full acceleration while braking/slowing and little or no response from brakes.occurs while braking, both slowing as well as while stopped. *smch
Steering issue - occurs frequently - feeling of less control in turns and at highway speeds. Brakes - occasional - sudden increase in brake power when braking lightly at highway speeds. Does not continue after releasing brake pedal but is very noticeable. Have had the brakes (drums, pads) repaired / replaced twice (once at a toyota dealership) using toyota parts and the issue persists.

Letter from senator isakson on behalf of constituent re 2007 toyota corolla.the consumer experienced a severe and sudden lock up of the brakes. The consumer stated just a small touch of the brake pedal caused the brakes to lock up. The consumer noticed when he touched the brake pedal with the engine running and the vehicle not moving, there was a loud hissing sound coming from the behind the brake pedal. It was not noticeable when the vehicle was moving. The consumer continued to experience problems with the brakes after taking it to the dealer. The pedal would go down to the floor and he would have to pump the brake, to get it back up, while driving on the expressway, it felt as though the vehicle was trying to brake. The dealer believed a rod in the brake system was not adjusted correctly from a previous brake job.also, the rotors were replaced.
Unexpected, sudden, full acceleration while at a complete stop [with the transaxle in "drive"].
Stop the car while driving.big crash noise just like conflicting metals.1/14/08 dealer changed the ecm at 13,699 miles.after then when stopped and idling in drive with brakes on the rpms drop and there is tapping noise from the passenger front side of car. But the service always told me your car is fine. I had to do maintenance service for transmission oil change and30,000 miles service at 26,68miles.
The first time i experienced problems with my brakes occurred on april 28th, 2007.i was exiting a parking lot that had a downward slope and as i merged onto the main road, i stepped on my brakes but my car would not stop.i was forced to use the emergency brakes, but even then, the vehicle did not come to a complete stop for another 10 yards. On may 2nd, 2007, i took the vehicle to be checked at hollywood toyota in los angeles, ca. The invoice notes state that the causes for the brake problems on this particular occasion were that the 'brake pedal was spongy' and the 'brakes were out of adjustment'.for the vehicle being brand new and me being the first owner, i find it rather disturbing that these brake problems had already become an issue after only one month of ownership.on march 24th, 2009, another significant braking incident happened. As i entered the driveway of my home,i stepped on the accelerator to go up the driveway's incline and then tapped on my brakes. When i tapped on the brakes the vehicle would not stop.i pulled on the emergency brakes but it still did not stop.i was forced to steer my vehicle in the direction of my house in order for the vehicle to hopefully stop with the impact.the front driver's side of the vehicle broke through a wooden fence surrounding my front garden before the vehicle hit the corner of my house and finally came to a halt.the most serious braking failure incident occurred on june 25th, 2009 in the kaiser sunset parking structure. I put the car in reverse to pull out of my parking spot.i then shifted to drive while applying my brakes. Since the structure was at an incline the vehicle gained velocity as i drove down to the lower levels to exit. I pressed on my brakes but it did not work.i then pulled on the emergency brakes but the vehicle still would not stop. I was forced to hit the exit cross bar so that the impact would stop my vehicle from moving.
Problem:squeezing / grinding noise in brakes which sometimes happens as one drives slowly and brakes.the problem started after i had the car for 2 and 3 quarters years.toyota technician looked at the problem 2 times and mentioned that everything is normal.after that a toyota customer service representative called me and mentioned that the brakes are fine and that a certain repair at my cost could be done. When i asked the toyota customer service representative to explain in writing what the exact problem is and how to solve it and she agreed to do so. Previous communication had also be in writing. But toyota has not done so as to date.please note that the exact model is toyota runx, based on toyota corolla 4 doors.

On this date (nov. 19, 2009) my mother and i were on the way to work oninterstate 45, it was a clear day no weather issues at all. After about 20 min into our commute we came up on an accident in the road, where a car up ahead had spent out of control, as i applied my foot to the brake the car continued toaccelerate and instead of the car coming to a stop we collided with the car in front of me. Now when i say the car kept going it did instead of hitting the suv once we hit him twice as if my foot wasn't to the floorboard. The entire front of my car was destroyed, the suv in front had a small dent, but thanks to the lord no one was hurt except for a large bruise on my mother and lots of hurt feelings for me. The police were called to the scene and it was when they showed up i realized that the impact was so bad that it jarred our doors shut. After the officers investigation my mother and i were let go without a ticket being that the wreck was caused by another persons fault (the spinning car up ahead). What was the most difficult for me to understand was the fact that we hit the suv in front of me twice. It wasn't like my car wasn't in good shape, a 2007 corolla with 55,000 miles, that had just got 2 new front tires and new brake pads all the way around. Now i amdealing with a $8000.00 repair bill that i haven't been able to pay yet.
Driving on 2 lane blacktop road, dog in my path of travel, firmly applied the brakes, car was pulled to the right, went off the road and continued to travel paralleluntil i struck a gravel entry driveway to a field with the frontof my vehicle and then flipped end over end 3 times according to witness finally resting on its top.upon looking at the scene, there was one (1)black skid mark. The highway was dry, there was a very slight incline in the road and it was a straight stretch.the weather was overcast.the insurance company would not investigate my complaint and insisted that i swerved.i called toyota and they "checked the brakes" on the totalled car and the headlight operation.i hadcalled them to figure out what had gone wrong.in their report they said there was nothing wrong with the brakes or headlights. I had reported that prior to this incident that the headlights would go on for no apparent reason at the same location (an area where my cell phone coverage would go out).the accident occurred near an airport which was another area where my cell phone coverage would go out.since i had fractured my sternum andhad the discolored imprint of the turn signal on my chest, i thought that the air bag should have deployed on first impact. I questioned the brakes and electronic/electrical system. Their report is dated 11/11/2008 and does not indicate a file or complaint number.
Brakes failed, pedal goes to floor, attempt to press brake pedal again still results in pedal moving to floor with no braking. Hit car in front. 2nd occurrence. First occurrence in june 2011. Dealer said they could find nothing wrong. Same problem occurred on 2/21/2012. Brakes then work after incident. Failure seems intermittent. Dealer service manager says he thinks the problem could be a master cylinder. Toyota investigating. So far had investigator inspect car but have not yet authorized dealer to do any repairs.

It was normal sunny day and smooth traffic i was driving toyota corolla(2007)on i-295 north in nj and was on leftmost lane @ around 70 mph in hamilton area near exit 65. Then suddenly it went out of control spinning around on highway . It went spinning from left most lane to right shoulder spinning 2-3 times . Luckily no body was injured and no other vehicle was involved but my car had to be totaled i requested car company (toyota) to properly inspect the vehicle if it had any issues with software and also brakes as there was no reason for spinning while driving around 70mph . Considering the way car spun at that time it was evident locking of front wheels suddenly may be the one of the reasons . Company never contacted me back again they had promised to get back to me after inspection was done by company inspector/engineer.

The current mileage was 3,000 miles.
My 2007 toyota corolla feels like it is floating when i am on the highway and driving above 60 mph.i thought it was wind or tire pressure but i corrected the tire pressure and it still does the same thing.it only happens when i get up to a higher speed and not on regular roads or in the town.it did not do this for the first year and a half that i owned the car but it has been doing it regularly for the past 6 months.
My steering wheel has been locking up in my 2007 toyota corolla le. It will lock and not allow me to turn the key in the ignition, and i have to lift the steering wheel, and hope it will then allow me to turn the key. Thus far, it has not locked while driving, but i am afraid it could. It sometimes happens once a week, or as often as five times a day! this began july 14, 2010 and continues today august 24, 2010. The toyota dealership will be replacing the locking cylinder as soon as the ordered parts come in because they believe that is the problem.

In the past 2 1/2 years i rented two toyota corolla's from hertz car rental. They both had severe steering problems. They would veer one way, say right for example. A small steering wheel turn to the left did nothing and the car kept going right. Then another small turn to the left and the car would veer sharply to the left. In the first case, in california, when the car veered left i had an accident with another car in the lane to the left. After straighten things out with the other driver and the police, i took the still-drivable car, no longer with a left side mirror to a hertz agency and exchanged it for a ford automobile. It steered fine.for the second time, a year later, i thought (incorrectly) that the first car was accidentally out of alignment and i rented another toyota corolla from a hertz agency in florida. It veered all over the road too.policewoman stopped me and said i had been reported as driving erratically. When she learned that the problem was with the car she told me to get to the nearest phone and call hertz (80 miles away) and have them bring me another car. Actually, i went to the nearest motel and called hertz from there. It took until the next day for themto bring a different car, not a toyota. It steered fine. Those corolla's were dangerous. I rented them because i owned an old 1993 toyota corolla and it was a wonderful car and certainly had no steering difficulties. Dates below are approximate.
It's a 2007 corolla. I don't usually drive much before and i do drive a lot since i transfer to college and have to go on fwy.about 3 months ago, once i tried to stop on the road because right light, i left the gas pedal and wait to decelerate and then step on the break,but it didn't, i almost hit the car before me and it's really hard to stop i had to step it really hard.from than time, i began to realize that there might be a problem for it.i cant tell exactly how often it happen, but somehow i know when it goes up to 60mph, and it will decelerate. When it drops to around 45, it stops to drop. And when i go on the fwy, when it hits certain speed like 75, some times it won't slow down even i leave my foot from the gas pedalafter i knew the tyt petal problem and the steering problem, i wonder if my car was involved. However, this model is not on the list, i still worried about it. Because tyt might hide the problem, or they did find it now and they will find it later.this week i got a speeding ticket in ca i-5 fwy and i doubt that part of the reason is that the "rare" accelerate problem.i don't know how to fix it because there's no evidence to show the problem right now. I hope that the us will investigate all model from 2000 to 2010 to ensure people safe.
I just read an article on msnbc's about '09-10' corollas having difficulties steering their vehicles. My '07 corolla has the same problem, especially when i'm driving at highway speeds. I initially thought it was a tire issue, but i have bought new tires recently and after checking the air pressure, the issue remains. It is worse during high winds, as my car has a feeling like i will lose control of the car.

Car pulled suddenly in opposite direction on 4 separate occasions when making turns at reasonable speeds. On another occasion, car pulled forcefully to the right when breaking. Accidents were avoided in all instances, even though the car spun out of control momentarily. Brought the car into the dealer three times and they could not diagnose problem. As the problem was intermittent and unpredictable, they were unable to pick it up on test drives. Replaced front tires, had brakes checked, but happened again. Just had the rear tires replaced and alignment done, but really feel that the problem is in the steering. How can i be sure the car is safe?

I bought a 2007 toyota corolla two years ago and have noticed that sometimes at high speed it feels as if i'm loosing control of the car and that the steering feels loose.at the beginning, i didn't pay much attention, but this had created me to feel insecure when i'm driving fast.i'm currently afraid to drive over 55mph because i have noticed that over that speed it feels as if the car is going thru a lot of wind.i can't really tell if the car is going in one particular direction, it just feels as if i can't make it go straight and have to constantly correct the direction i'm driving, even if it's a straight road. I took the car to a shop to get it checked but they said the computer did not indicate any problems with the steering.i have been driving since 2003 and the last two years have been very stressful, all this time i've been thinking it was me that couldn't keep control of the car and had even considered retaking driving classes.i depend on my car on a daily basis and would deeply appreciate if you could make an investigation on this issue.

I have been having problems with my 2007 toyota corolla for some time now. When i am on the highway my car swerves back and forth. I have to really hold down on the wheel to get it to drive straight. I went to the toyota dealership to have them look at the problem and they said that it was slightly unaligned and that the re aligned the steering. After this the car still has problems when driving and toyota says there is nothing wrong with it but that's not true at all. I have had three near accidents on the highway do to the car swerving but luckily nobody has been hurt. I wish there was something that could be done about this because toyota just does not seem to care when i go to there groppone dealership in concord, nh; where i bought the car. I hope you guys can help me. It says below the date of incident but i will put most recent since there are three individual near accidents.

I own a 2007 toyota corolla. If it is windy on the freeway when i drive, i get blown all over the road. I have literally been blown of onto the shoulder of the road or into the other lane. Passing semi-trucks is also extremely dangerous in windy conditions. I look for similar movement in other small cars while i am driving and i do not see them being blown all over the road so i think that this must be a problem special to the corolla. I is extremely scary when i'm traveling the posted speed limit on the highway and my car gets completely blown off of the road. The steering is so loose that i feel like i have very little control when being blown around by wind, and in reality, i probably do have very little control. Please look into this. I would be willing to place a bet that there have been fatal crashes involving corollas under windy conditions.
I currently lease a 2007 toyota corolla which commenced on february 23, 2007.i have experienced an issue with the steering since day one.it is as follows:depending on the level of road unevenness, the car drifts left or right and requires nearly constant correction and then, over-correction just to maintain a straightforward course.the car does not weave erratically all over the road, but it is just simply a chore to drive, especially in windy conditions or in the draft of a passing transport truck.i was very concerned with the steering performance as being a safety issue at the outset.i approached my toyota dealer, and then toyota canada with my problem but it was quite simply shrugged off.i have since "learned" how to drive this car in the past three years because i have been unable to rid myself of the lease.i have suffered no accidents or injuries because of this car.my purpose in reporting this complaint at this time is to inform you that the toyota corolla steering issues date back at least as early as the 2007 model year.indeed, at the time in 2007, after doing some research on the internet , i found i was only one of many who experienced this same problem.my hope is that my experience may be of some use to you.

2007 toyota corolla sometimes won't start. Turns over fast with starter, but won't start. Then, the next try, it does. May be related to the same problem as stalling. Also the steering feels too stiff, makes it hard to keep in the lane when it is windy.

I was told part will most likely be in tuesday or wednesday. The dealer said a loaner car would not be provided unless the car totally stop operating. I live in san bernardino and work in moreno valley, approx 26 miles one way. I have aaa towing basic for 6 miles. I would usually purchase aaa southern ca automobile club towing for up to 100 miles, but because i bought a new reliable toyota, i just got the basic towing in case the battery died. I don't have towing to get the car to moreno valley in case it completely stops running. I'm worried about safety and logistics! i don't trust this toyota corolla. Dealer will not keep the car and give me a loaner until the part arrives. Will toyota be responsible if this car stalls again in traffic and causes an accident?will toyota be responsible if this car needs to be towed to the dealer? will toyota be responsible if the transmission becomes damaged from the hard shifting? will toyota be responsible if the car catches fire from faulty electrical wiring? this corolla has had brake and steering problems.brake fluid always low, although brakes verified as repaired and okay by technician. The wheel bearing on the front driver's side wheel is going bad and the tire will not hold air. The tire has been examined and is good. I smell electrical burning once in awhile. The belt tensioner pulley bearing bad. Occasionally, smell antifreeze, which indicates a leaking head gasket.wind noise, windows creak when moved up/down. The locks squeak. The interior rattles. The paint job is runny, weld points are sloppy. Car stalling, slam shifting, then cutting off. The car has a little over 50,000 miles.
Not a crash, but a concern.i read that you are looking into steering of corollas from 2009 and later, but please look into earlier models as well.two months ago a problem occurred with my car.twice while driving on slightly uneven freeways, my car has felt like it was going to leave the lane, steering into the next lane.i grabbed the wheel tighter and turned to correct it, so no crash, but the car did move several feet over before i grabbed the steering wheel.both times i was going 75-80 mph.i thought i was crazy, but then read about steering problems.as long as i drive less than 70, it has never happened again. (and i have often driven fast in both this car and previous ones)the problem is i can't exactly take it to the dealer and say "sometimes it steers funny" as a description.

The automatic gear select cover is chrome in the s model toyota corolla and during noontime hours when the sun is high, the cover reflects the sunlight and reflects into the eyes.at 1:00pm, the sun was reflecting off of the chrome cover.as i attempted to cover it with a paper bag, my foot came off of the brake pedal and the creep of the vehicle caused a collision with the vehicle in front at a stop sign.this is the second time such an accident has occurred.the first time was also during the summer at 1:15pm 2 years ago when i attempted to cover the glare with my backpack.since that incident, i have always brought a hat that i use to cover the chrome gear select cover.on this day, however, i had forgot to bring my hat which would have prevented the glare shining directly into the eyes.the chrome gear select cover is a safety hazard that causes distractions and visibility issues.

This is an addendum to complaint odi # 10204519.. I was at deluca toyota today to have my tire problem checked again ( complaintodi# 10200011), and i explained tothe service person garry bradley about the problem with not being able to read the speedometer once the tilt wheel was tilted in a safe and comfortable position for me to drive.. He explained that there was nothing they could do since this was considered a "design flaw".. They gave me a car to drive while they were inspecting my 2007 corolla and this car a 2008 toyota solara has the exact same "design flaw".. Once the wheel is tilted so that i can drive safely and comfortably i can only see " 0-20 mph on the left side of the speedometer" and on the right side i can only see " 140 mph and more",anything in between 20 mph & 140 mph is not visible to me.. I guesstoyota is discriminating against all of us that are short or we shouldn't drive their cars if we want to be safe.. I feel that this is a severe safety issue.. Why put the tilt wheel option in their vehicles if you cannot use them safely..
This car only has 65,000 miles on it and has hardly been driven given the fact that it is 4 years old.i heard a loud rattling noise and took it to a mechanic. He told me that a bolt came off the heat shield by the gas tank.i'm surprised that such a lightly driven car could already have such expensive problems.as stated here, toyota has a new design for heat shield which clearly gives problems: http://www.arfc.org/complaints/2007/toyota/corolla/10454289.aspx.
The contact owns a 2007 toyota corolla. The vehicle was purchased brand new in 2007. Two months after the vehicle was purchased, the factory alarm system engaged intermittently. The dealer repaired the alarm failure. In september of 2011, the check engine warning indicator illuminated. On february 21, 2012, a warning indicator illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle rolled backwards without warning while parked. The dealer test drove the vehicle and determined that the vehicle was functioning as designed. The dealer produced a failure code detected for the torque converter clutch lock up and recommended that the transmission assembly be replaced. On february 24, 2012, an ecm recall repair was performed. Also in 2012, the contact noticed rust on the hood of the vehicle and small white circles (the size of basketballs) on the rear bumper and trunk. Two years later, leopard like spots were present on the roof of the vehicle. The manufacturer and dealer were notified of the defects. The manufacturer scheduled an appointment with the dealer in december of 2016 for diagnostic testing. The dealer determined that there were only paint chips on the vehicle and failed to include the extensive amount of rust on the roof. The service manager informed the contact that they would use oxidation on the vehicle regarding the rust. The manufacturer stated that the paint used on the vehicle was environmentally safe. In addition, the contact received a recall notice for the air bags. It was unknown if the notice pertained to the passenger or driver side air bag. The nhtsa campaign numbers and failure mileage were not provided. The vin was invalid.
I stopped at a gas station to fill my gas tank and while this was being done i heard a loud bang similar to a gunshot. When i started my car there was a loud rattling sound. I stopped the car and got out to look underneath but couldn't see anything hanging. Since i was near home i started the car and drove slowly home. I took it to the dealer the next day and they repaired the gas tank strap passenger side. I told them i considered this to be a design defection and a safety issue. They stated there has been no recall despite the fact that they had seen quite a few of the same problems. I had to pay for the repair. Toyotacorp has refused to reimburse me for the repair because my car is out of warranty. I have had many cars and have never had this problem before. I am told that there is a drivers side strap as well so i suppose i can look forward to this happening again plus since it is due to corrosion i can expect this to happen again in about five years. I do not know how likely this is to lead to the gas tank dropping but i don't feel to good about it.
Excessive rusting inconsistent with aging

As i approached traffic lights, i had to apply the brakes as yellow light was on but the car was still accelerating. Even after the brakes were completely applied, it went forward. To my bad, it was a snowy day in my place and my car skidded in to the left turn lane, got crashed in to the other car. My car's front bumper, head lights and couple of other parts were replaced for which i have spent $500 out of my pocket and the remaining amount was paid by my insurance company. Luckily there were no injuries to me, my 7 month pregnant wife andthe other car driver. Obviously my insurance premium got increased, my driving history was affected and car value is decreased due to accident history. My car tires and brakes were in perfect condition when this incident happened.now i am afraid to drive my car especially when it approaches traffic lights i feel extremely nervous. Whenever i recollect this bad moment i feel depressed. Please look into the issue. Requesting toyota to do the needful to remove such defects from their vehicles.
I was pulling into my parking spot at about 2 to 3 miles per hour as i was stepping on the brake pedal the car accelerated as if someone had push the gas pedal with 1000lbs of force. The car literally flew over the curve onto some bushes over the sidewalk sideswiped a light poll and onto the street the car slowed down when i was on the street. During this whole time my foot was on the brake pedal all the way down but the car would not stop, there are skid marks that show that and when i stopped my brakes where smoking and there was a very strong smell of burning brakes. Please advise me on what to do because i do not want to drive this car anymore, i am very scared.

I own a 2007 toyota corolla. If it is windy on the freeway when i drive, i get blown all over the road. I have literally been blown of onto the shoulder of the road or into the other lane. Passing semi-trucks is also extremely dangerous in windy conditions. I look for similar movement in other small cars while i am driving and i do not see them being blown all over the road so i think that this must be a problem special to the corolla. I is extremely scary when i'm traveling the posted speed limit on the highway and my car gets completely blown off of the road. The steering is so loose that i feel like i have very little control when being blown around by wind, and in reality, i probably do have very little control. Please look into this. I would be willing to place a bet that there have been fatal crashes involving corollas under windy conditions.

I would like to check and see if my vehicle had a recall. The part is called the timing chain.
I own a 2007 toyota corolla which i bought in november 2006.since that time i have had nothing but problems out of my vehicle, from cosmetics, to vibrating steering wheel, air conditioning issues, leaking struts, alignment issues, and most recently the ecm.i was driving to the store, and right before i turned into a busy intersection my car shook, and then the engine shut off.all of the lights and service indicators came on, and then shut off leaving only the check engine light on.i tried to start my vehicle again, but nothing.my friend had to help me to push the vehicle into a nearby parking lot.there, i was able to start the car again, and so i headed home.just as i got to my house, the car shut off again, and right before it shut off, it wouldn't even give gas.i had my car towedto a nearby shop, and after checking the entire car and doing a diagnostic, i was told it was the ecm and that it would cost 650 to repair (and that's for a used/rebuilt one).i called toyota, and they said that it was covered under warranty up to 80,000 miles.i am just under 80,000 miles thank god.the guy i spoke with sounded as if he wasn't surprised of the issue.i am having my vehicle towed to toyota today, and i guess will see how this all pans out.the bad part about it all is, what if they fix the problem and it happens again?and what other issues are there that they know about and their consumers don't. Plus, who is going to pay for peoples time off work for these repairs, and their inconveniences?at this point i am very disappointed in toyota!i wanted to purchase the 2010 toyota corolla next, or the lexus rx320, but i will definitely pass on that now!

My 2007 toyota corolla feels like it is floating when i am on the highway and driving above 60 mph.i thought it was wind or tire pressure but i corrected the tire pressure and it still does the same thing.it only happens when i get up to a higher speed and not on regular roads or in the town.it did not do this for the first year and a half that i owned the car but it has been doing it regularly for the past 6 months.
2007 toyota corolla poor steering issue*cwthe consumer stated the vehicle swerved back and forth at interstate speeds. They dealer told the consumer the vehicle needed a rear end alignment. The second time the consumer went back to the dealer, he complained of wobbly steering, so the dealer balanced the tires. The third time, was the same as the second time with the steering. The fifth time, the consumer went to the dealer he stated the problem was worse and seemed to get more worse after an interstate trip of 50 mph or when the tires heated up. The consumer also stated when driving the vehicle at lows speed, it seemed to wobble. When the consumer went back to the dealer three of the four tires were out of balance. The dealer also stated the rims could be the cause of the poor steering. The dealer agreed to replace one of the tires, however the problem was still not resolved.the consumer went to get a second opinion and they agreed there was a steering issue. The consumer went back to the original dealer and they agreed to remove the tires and rims from the vehicle. The new tires and rims helped, but the vehicle still swayed, but not as bad as before. The consumer stated he read a newspaper article where a person who worked in a california plant that made toyota corolla's was in trouble for making accusations about others passing off faulty front ends.

Had the front brake pads and rotors replaced on car march 1, 2013.a month and a half later i heard grinding noise from left wheel.took car in on 4/11/13 and was told brake pads and rotors were fine, but that the hub and bearing were failing on the left. Was also told this was rare thatthey don't usually see a hub and bearing failing at this mileage.this is a serious problem and if you do not do anything about it your wheel could fall off.i was advised by someone with experience with this problem to go ahead and fix it which i did on 4/16/13. Was also advised by this same person that the failure was probably the result of a factory defect, but at this point there is no way to prove it and the car is out of warranty.thewarrantyfor this repair is only a year and the failure rate after fixing this type of issue is high.i no longer trust my car!!!!!

Looked up a recall on the emc of 2007 toyota corollas. My car was rear ended on 12/31/2014. Ever since, my car has been having electrical problems. My radiator fan is not working and had to be hot wired by a mechanic for it to stay on while running. My ac is not working, my shifter is stuck in park which is caused by a bad solenoid. I have had it inspected for over 8 hours by certified mechanics at midas, and they couldn't fix it. They said that every test they did was reading that nothing was wrong but my ac and radiator fan and solenoid are not working. My car stalls out occasionally, it wont start sometimes, and it is idling louder than before.

Driving on 2 lane blacktop road, dog in my path of travel, firmly applied the brakes, car was pulled to the right, went off the road and continued to travel paralleluntil i struck a gravel entry driveway to a field with the frontof my vehicle and then flipped end over end 3 times according to witness finally resting on its top.upon looking at the scene, there was one (1)black skid mark. The highway was dry, there was a very slight incline in the road and it was a straight stretch.the weather was overcast.the insurance company would not investigate my complaint and insisted that i swerved.i called toyota and they "checked the brakes" on the totalled car and the headlight operation.i hadcalled them to figure out what had gone wrong.in their report they said there was nothing wrong with the brakes or headlights. I had reported that prior to this incident that the headlights would go on for no apparent reason at the same location (an area where my cell phone coverage would go out).the accident occurred near an airport which was another area where my cell phone coverage would go out.since i had fractured my sternum andhad the discolored imprint of the turn signal on my chest, i thought that the air bag should have deployed on first impact. I questioned the brakes and electronic/electrical system. Their report is dated 11/11/2008 and does not indicate a file or complaint number.

2007 toyota corolla customer states that the dealership lied to her about the car **ccthe consumer stated when purchasing the vehicle that his granddaughter did not know too much about cars and purchased a new vehicle with power locks and windows. The consumer noticed that the granddaughter was opening the car with a key and not with a remote control opener. Immediately, the consumer went to the dealer and informed them of the problem. A different salesperson informed them that original sales rep was not in that day and what the granddaughter received was power lock but that it only automatically locks and unlocks on the inside not outside of the car. The remote control was an additional charge. The consumer is requesting the remote control at no additional cost and also wishes to receive the$4,000 deductible that was stated on the mailing flyer, however the dealer states the deductible was only for used cars not the new vehicles.

Re: toyota 2007 corolla: when driving (in reverse) out of our driveway, on several occasions the car would suddenly jerk, emit a lot of fumes, and it would take off on its own. Putting pressure on the brakes would not stop the car- only turning off the ignition key stops the car. Last time this occurred was on november 4, 2014. After driving out of the driveway and changing gears from reverse to drive, the car again jerked, made a left turn, drove across our lawn, through the bushes and to our next door neighbor?s lawn. We are lucky that it did not slam into our house or the electric pole close to our driveway- either one would probably have killed us. The car has its own mind and does not respond to anything that the driver tries to do to stop the car from moving other than turning off the ignition key. The toyota dealer, of course, asserts that there is nothing wrong with the car.
I am writing to you because i was involved in a car accident in the first year of purchasing my car on december 25, 2007. I purchased a toyota corolla ce 2007 from denbigh toyota (newport news va) on january 25, 2007. I believe my car accelerated into an electrical pole.i was only trying to park my car. It hit so hard, that the repairs to my car were in excess of $2600, and there was damages done to the electrical pole.it was a very frightening experience. The officers that helped me from the car asked what had happen.i told him that i really didn't know.i just wanted to park my car. The pole was directly in front of me, and there were thick shrubs between my car and the pole as well.my car accelerated so unbelievably fast, that i hit the pole the first time really hard.then, i backed up away from the pole and the shrubs and stopped.i attempted to pull into the parking space again, the car accelerated and i slammed into the pole again. It was not the first major issue that i had with the car.within 6 months of the purchase date, the vehicle stopped in the middle of the road, and locked up. I had it towed back to the dealership, to have them tell me that the computer system was faulty and on recall.so, i allowed them to replace it.today, i don't know what caused my car to do what it did on 12/25, because it could have been anything.i just don't want this car anymore, and am a little afraid.i don't know what to do with it.i have many issues with the car, but am used to driving it.i can not afford an expert to look at my car.it can be sold, or i can trade it as i have only two years left on my contract.but, it is not the right thing to do.i don?t want what happened to me to happen to someone else.but, i don't want it to happen again to me. My model car is not currently on recall.my lawyer referred me to you. If you can help me in any way with my situation, i would greatly appreciate it.i need peace of mind for me and my family.
2007 toyota corolla.

Approximately jan 26, 2010 2007 toyota corolla engine accelerated up to approximately 7000 rpms while my wife's foot was on brake only, car waiting for about two minutes at traffic light.car was turned off.car towed to toyota dealer, dealer found nothing wrong, nothing done.feb 12, 2010 again the car was idling, waiting for traffic to clear, to make right turn. This time engine started wildly accelerating as soon as my wife gave car a little gas, the car lurched forward rapidly, she hit another car, caused damage to both cars, no injuries.car engine raced very fast again just after accident.car towed to repair shop for body work only.feb 24just after car picked up at body shop, car was waiting in traffic to make left turn, foot on brake, engine accelerated up to 7000 rpm again, car turned off, towed back to toyota dealer.it still sits there today, march 15.dealer will not look at car, national toyota tech team says they will call to set up appointment to look at car, maybe call this coming week, may not even start looking at car for several more weeks.we have not had use of car for one month, toyota is convinced nothing is wrong, car is not recalled, toyota seems determined to prove car problem did not cause accident, show no concern for what is causing problem.we have extended warrenty, but car is not getting fixed, we can not get rental car while car is in shop because toyota is not being fixed.car seems to be excellent canidate for studies, since it has had 3 sudden accelerations in a short time, two of them involving foot on brake, not accelerator, points to software problem.toyota acts like they do not want software problem to be found.
This happened about four weeks apart with two different drivers under similar conditions.we were slowing to stop at a stop sign traveling 5-10 mph and when we applied the brake, the engine reved up. When it happened to me the the car wouldn't stop when i applied the brake so i put the car into neutral and thus avoided hitting car ahead of me.i took the vehicle to my local toyota dealer.they had it for a day and half and said they could find nothing wrong.they said i should remove my after market car mat ( which i have) and suggested that both drivers had applied the brake and accelorator at the same time.i think this is highly unlikely as my foot isn't wide enough to do both unless my foot is nearly off the brake. The car mat in question has been the car for 6 plus years and is a custom made one which does not slip.

I have been having two separate problems with the acceleration of my 2007 toyota corolla le.the first problem is with my gas pedal. I noticed that over the last several months my gas pedal has been becoming harder to press down. When i am pressing down the gas pedal i also experience the problem of the vehicle "jumping" and suddenly accelerating quicker instead of smooth acceleration as toyota has said vehicles should have. This problem began about 8 months ago and has only been getting worsethe second issue is with my cruise control. My mother actually noticed this problem before i did when she was driving my car but i have seen it happen a few times when i've been driving on the freeway. When i set my cruise control and there is any type of hill my car naturally decelerates slightly before my cruise control steps in and compensates for the incline. When i return to flat ground however, i would expect my car to return to the speed that i had set my cruise control to. Most of the time it does but on more than one occasion instead of picking back up to the set speed my vehicle has actually accelerated fasterthan the speed i had set. This problem first occurred within 6 months of the purchase of my vehicle.i didn't notice these as a problem because i had already checked to make sure my toyota wasn't under any current recalls and it wasn't. My mother however pointed out that both of these things are abnormal and i needed to take them in to toyota and file a report with you. I have a scheduled an appointment with toyota for 10/22/10 but was told if they find a problem with either of these things it may not be covered because my vehicle isn't under the recall.

We have two toyotas,a 2006 camry le and a 2007 corolla. In both cases in the last month we have experienced sudden surges while the cars were in gear but completely stopped. In the first,the 2006 camry made a sudden surge ahead while waiting at an intersection. It lasted only a brief moment but it was quite noticeable. I reported it to our toyota dealer right away and was told that it was not one of the recalled vehicles. The car was out of warranty and the service dept. Seemed unconcerned even though i insisted on the seriousness of it.the second occurred this last week and was far more serious. While awaiting at a stop sign the car began to rev tremendously and the rpms shot into the red zone. I had my foot firmly on the brake and immediately put the car into neutral before shutting off the engine entirely. I re started the engine shortly and no further problems resulted that day. I immediately called the same dealer and detailed the event to the service dept.. I was told to bring it in immediately,which i did.this one was under warranty and they did a code check on it and found nothing amiss. I know there is something wrong! i wrote to toyota's website but have not received any response other than they would look into the first report filed after the incident with the 2007 camry.

I own a toyota corolla 2007. I purchased it as a brand new car. I have been encountering many life- threatening experiences for unwanted acceleration while i pushed the brake pedal in my car.

I really feel unsafe when i drive my car.
We have a 2007 toyota corolla.weexperienced sudden acceleration two times in the fall of 2009.one time it was on our county road going around a curve.my wife let up on the gas and it sped up.she was able to get it under control and stopped.the other time it was in a parking lot.she had damage to the front bumper for a little under 1000.00.no report was made since we paid for it ourselves and there was no damage to any other vehicle.we took the car into toyota and they came to the conclusion that both incidences were driver error.we called toyota headquarters and they say the same thing since our vehicle is not on the recall list.i don't believe it was driver error.i believe it is in the electronics of the vehicle.
We have a 2007 toyota corolla.we had been on the highway using our cruise control.when we came to the exit, my husband stepped on the brake and disengaged the cruise control and we stopped at the light.we were sitting there with the engine idling, my husband's foot was on the brake, when all of a sudden the motor roared and the car began to surge forward.he stepped hard on the brake and it stopped.scared us to say the least.it has not occurred again, but sometimes when we are on the highway, with the cruise control on and it accelerates, it will not back off and the car will continue to accelerate until we step on the brake.if you step on the brake and disengage the cruise control the acceleration will stop.in light of the recent incidents we felt we should report these incidents.we read the report on the runaway prius and that you could not duplicate the incident.i am convinced, based on our experience that you will not be able to duplicate the incident.we feel strongly, based on the performance of our own vehicle that it is a computer/electrical problem of some sort and that it could be connected to the cruise control.as i said it has not happened again, but i wonder if it will at some point.we were very fortunate that no one was in front of us or we would have hit them.

There are different experiences which compels me to write this complain form.it is about a 2007 corolla which i own.i was experiencing acceleration problem about this car.to put it more precisely the car has a tendency to accelerate at different rate.i am sure it is not because of changing shifts because i also have another corolla of the same year and model.at first when i start the car and shift to drive more the car has a tendency to jump which is more like when you change a motorcycle gear without clutching.and while i accelerate, sometimes the gas pedal just goes down but the car does not move.when i experienced this i took the car to the dealer andi was told by the mechanic that it was not a problem of the car but it is how some computer chip in the car behaves.this was in 2008.in 2009, i doubt gained strength when i was taking my cousin sister and her friend to my cousins wedding. I was driving through the leveled road in intestate highway and they even raised the question that there is something wrong with the car. Still i experience the problem. Though i believe that its a manufacturing problem because the experience which i have with one car is unusual compared to the other.
I was driving coming from my sister in laws house at grandview, washington leaving around 7:40 am heading home to seattle going west to interstate-82 on friday, august 22, 2008 with my three kids. I was using my cruise control and stayed on the left lane for about 20 to 30 minutes. We just left yakima city and headed to the fred redmon memorial bridge at around 8:30 am going up hill, in which i saw two tractor-trailer far in advance and both were driving on the right lane. The left lane was open as i drove in to the bridge but then the other tractor-trailer made a change to go to the left lane. I was probably 50 feet away when the other tractor-trailer made the change to the left lane. I was cruising about 50 to 60 mph in which i have to put my right foot on the brake pedal. At first, i thought i step on my gas pedal because the car did not slowdown a bit. I pressed the button to turn off the cruise control and hit the foot brake again and again. I then realized that my brakes did not work. As i was getting too closed to the left lane truck, i panicked and made a change to go to right and rear-ended the volvo tractor-trailer.

I took my 2007 corolla to the dealership on 1/18/2010 in bakersfield, california because of throttle surges, and at one point, loss of throttle capability. They replaced 1 part related to the throttle that cost over 1100 dollars. It continued to do the same things, and i returned it on 3/23/10, only to find out a computer board and oxygen sensor now need to be replaced at a cost of 1,000 additional dollars. I am very disappointed in toyota's lack of ownership regarding these issues. If i choose to have the repairs made, i will then drive it over to the honda dealership, to purchase a comparable replacement.
Something is wrong with my car's acceleration and cruise control mechanisms.sometimes, if i've been using my cruise control, and i'm coasting, the throttle will suddenly engage on its own and rev as if the gas was floored.in seconds the tachometer will climb toward the redline.every time this has happened (about 5 times) i've hit the clutch and it has stopped immediately.i've never been in any danger yet, and it usually just leaves me scratching my head.

It's a 2007 corolla. I don't usually drive much before and i do drive a lot since i transfer to college and have to go on fwy.about 3 months ago, once i tried to stop on the road because right light, i left the gas pedal and wait to decelerate and then step on the break,but it didn't, i almost hit the car before me and it's really hard to stop i had to step it really hard.from than time, i began to realize that there might be a problem for it.i cant tell exactly how often it happen, but somehow i know when it goes up to 60mph, and it will decelerate. When it drops to around 45, it stops to drop. And when i go on the fwy, when it hits certain speed like 75, some times it won't slow down even i leave my foot from the gas pedalafter i knew the tyt petal problem and the steering problem, i wonder if my car was involved. However, this model is not on the list, i still worried about it. Because tyt might hide the problem, or they did find it now and they will find it later.this week i got a speeding ticket in ca i-5 fwy and i doubt that part of the reason is that the "rare" accelerate problem.i don't know how to fix it because there's no evidence to show the problem right now. I hope that the us will investigate all model from 2000 to 2010 to ensure people safe.
I own a 2007 toyota corolla that is not involved in the recall, but i experience jerking on acceleration the first 1 to 2 miles each day.the jerky acceleration occurs on flat surfaces.it seems to only happen on cold starts first thing in the morning.i am concerned that my accelerator or the electronics may be defective.also, it is hard to control the steering on the highway.the car roams into other lanes easily.i am concerned that some parts on my vehicle may need to be recalled.
In january 2007 i received delivery on a new 2007 toyota corolla.in the weeks following delivery i experienced what i would describe as a stuck accelerator on several occasions.i would be driving and without apparent reason the vehicle engine would race.following these occasions i would check to see if the mat was on the accelerator, but could not attribute the incident specifically to that.i reported these incidents to my dealer, papas toyota, in st. Peters, mo, and they reported that they could not find a problem with the vehicle.after the first few months, the incidents seemed to stop.because of the recent similar issues with toyota vehicles, i believe that the 2007 model toyota should also be evaluated.*cw

Shortly after purchasing my 2007 vehicle in 2008 i discovered a problem with the driver's sun visor hitting the rear view mirror when attempting to put it all the way down.i was driving and attempted to pull down the sun visor and then when i looked at the rear view mirror it had moved and become mis-aligned due to the visor hitting the rear-view mirror.this resulted in having to re-adjust the rear-view mirror unexpectedly while driving.this is a manufacturer's because everything is oem.you cannot fully deploy the sun visor in a perpendicular position without hitting the rear-view mirror.the sun visor needs to be replaced at manufacturer's cost since it was designed and installed that way.

I bought this 2007 corolla le in july 2008. Soon we found that when the car reached the speed of 70 mph or over, there was some high-pitched noise coming from the front window. Since this happened a lot, we brought our car to the dealer in early 2008. The dealer replaced the windshield seal. The noise stopped for some time. Then now it comes back again if we drive it around 75 mph or over. I did some google search. I found quite a few other people with the same model/year has the same problem. Also i have been told by my dealer (billpage, falls church, va) that they were aware of this problem since several clients reported it and brought their cars to the dealer.
1) driving 55 mph event happened without warning.2) the drivers door power window(window was up/closed) broke and blew (exploded) into the vehicle, this is the first time this has happened, the driver received a minor scratch on left forearm.3) waiting for dealership to open.
On wed oct 23 i was driving on the freeway in the middle lane. The weather was perfect, no rain, clear blue skies and about 70 degrees. It was apprx 12:00 pm (mid-day). Out of nowhere i heard a loud band on top of my roof and glass started flying off the back of my car. I pulled over to see what happened and there was a huge hole in the middle of my sunroof and the rest of the glass around it is shattered. It was such a bizarre experience i couldn't figure out what would have cause this. It was like the sunroof had exploded for no reason. Then on october 25 i saw an article that a lot of kia's sunroofs had been exploding! that is no coincidence. I know my car is a toyota, not a kia, but the sunroof exploded out of nowhere and the article sounds exactly like what happened to me. Fortunately i had the flap closed so there was no injury to me. Please help with this. I don't know what to do next and i wouldn't want to pay $800 for a defective window! i have pictures of my window from the day it happened. I also have a claim from my insurance co.

It was normal sunny day and smooth traffic i was driving toyota corolla(2007)on i-295 north in nj and was on leftmost lane @ around 70 mph in hamilton area near exit 65. Then suddenly it went out of control spinning around on highway . It went spinning from left most lane to right shoulder spinning 2-3 times . Luckily no body was injured and no other vehicle was involved but my car had to be totaled i requested car company (toyota) to properly inspect the vehicle if it had any issues with software and also brakes as there was no reason for spinning while driving around 70mph . Considering the way car spun at that time it was evident locking of front wheels suddenly may be the one of the reasons . Company never contacted me back again they had promised to get back to me after inspection was done by company inspector/engineer.

As of this date there is no failure but my 2007 toyota corolla's wheels are rusting. I am very concerned that these wheels could be made of the same steel that toyota made the tundra's frame out of. I have noticed several other corolla's with this same rusty wheel issue. I tried to get my dealer "championtoyota" to resolve this but they refuse, my car is still under warranty.
Rust on all wheels getting worse after 2 yrs.had to have the ecu reset system replaced at 16,912 miles.
Flat tire. Vehicle came with toyota aluminum or non-steel rims. Supplied, lug nut wrench does not fit lug nuts. Could not install spare tire. This could be a problem in a blowout or if the nail came out of the tire, especially in no cell phoneareas(no bars). Got a 22mm socket but it is loose, 21mm does not fit.
2007 toyota corolla steel rim issues.i have had problems twice with the steel rims on my car and am afraid there will be more as my car ages.the rims rust.i turned a corner too sharp and barely grazed the concrete, which bent the wheel rim and caused my tire to blow out, and i had to replace that tire.now, i hit a pothole, and entire wheel rim buckled, tore my tire to bits, and it was almost impossible to find a replacement rim for my car.i could not locate one online, could not get a return phone call from sam swope's toyota dealership to try to see if the part could be ordered, but i was able to get another dealer to sell me one at a whopping $141 including tax.i was driving on city streets when i hit that pothole and was going at a slow speed.had this happened on the expressway, i'd be dead.now that i look at all of the rims on my car, every rim is bent somewhere along the edges.the metal on these rims is of the poorest quality i have ever seen.i'd expect steel to hold up better than this, and this is a potentially dangerous problem when steel rims buckle, destroy your tire and you can loose control of your car.i am also afraid that this isn't' the last of my problems with these rims.i believe this is going to happen again, and it is almost impossible to find another rim for my particular car.i am being told by every junkyard that my car is too new for them to have parts for it.the rims are also unaffordable if you can find them.not only did i have to buy the rim at a cost of $141, but i had to purchase another tire and pay for mounting and balancing.so, the cost is now over $200 to fix my just hitting a small pothole, and louisville, ky, is loaded with potholes everywhere.if these rims continue rusting, is that going to affect my braking ability too?
On a rainy october 28, 2012 sunday, i was traveling on rte. 73, in moorsetown, nj and i attempted to get off 73 and go down the rte. 295 n ramp.as i went down the ramp, i put on my brakes to slow down and all of a sudden it felt like my car was flying.the brakes locked up, the car spun around and crashed into the curb so hard on the drivers side, that it totaled the back and front rims of my tires. Then once i thanked god for not letting there be any cars around me and letting me be alright, then i attempted to move the car.i backed the car up a little bit then pressed down on brake to change gear into drive and turned steering wheel away from curb, and my car flew to the other side of the ramp and crashed into the curb on the passengers side of which damaged the front rim on that side and through all of this the air bag never ejected.i could kind of understand that it was wet and the car hydroplaned before first crash.but i don't understand how before the car took off the second time while i had my foot on the brake and barely moving, brakes were completely locked up.at this point i was scared to move the car again, so i just cut the car off and sat there for a while, then turned it back on, then it felt like brakes were alright when i pressed down on it. I took my car back to the dealer i bought it from and asked them to check the brakes and of course they said that it was nothing wrong with them.at this point and time, i do not trust this car, but i do trust god to keep me safe in this car or else i wouldn't even drive it after that episode.i needed to get 3 new rims, 1 tire, a hub cap and wheel alignment for my car and i just thank god that there was no other damages.and now i'm just waiting on the lord to give me the opportunity to get a suv and it won't be a toyota.
