2005 TOYOTA COROLLA Complaints

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

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

I RECEIVED AN AIR SAFETY RECALL NOTICE THEREFORE I SCHEDULED AN APPT WITH BOCH TOYOTA IN NORWOOD, MA TO GET IT FIX SINCE THAT WAS THE DEALER I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM 11 YEARS AGO. ON THE DAY OF MY APPOINTMENT I WENT THERE AND THEY TOLD ME THEY REPLACED THE AIR BAG AND THAT I WAS ALL SET THEN I LEFT.TWO WEEKS AFTER WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON MY WAY HOME MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON, I IMMEDIATLY CALLED BOCH TOYOTA THEY ASKED THAT I BRING THE CAR, I WENT THERE DIRECTLY. WHEN I ARRIVED THEY TOOK MY CAR TO GO CHECK WHY THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON, I REMINDED THEM THAT I WAS THERE TWO WEEKS AGO MAYBE THEY HAD FORGTOTTEN TO DO SOMETHING. THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME HE WOULD HAVE A MECHANIC TAKE A LOOK; AN HOUR AFTER ANOTHER SERVICE ADVISR LARRY CAME AND TOLD ME THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED THAT I WOULD COST ME $800. I TOLD HIM I HAD MY CAR FOR 11 YEARS AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT NEVER HAD ANY ISSUE UNTIL I BROUGHT MY CAR THERE FOR THEM TO FIX THE AIR BAG AS REQUESTED BY THE TOYOTA COMPANY;LARRY TOLD ME THE ISSUE THE CAR HAS NOW IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE SAFETY RECALL AND THAT MY ONLY OPTION WAS TO GET IT FIX, HE ALSO SAID THAT IF I WAS INVOLVE IN A CAR ACCIDENT THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. I TOLD HIM THAT IT WAS BOCH TOYOTA'S RESPONSIBILTY TO FIX IT, HE TOLD ME IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE. NEXT THEY BROUGHT MY CAR FOR ME THEN I LEFT. MY AIR BAG LIGHT IS STILL ON IN THE CAR, I HAVE ASKED TWO MECHANICS FOR SUGGESTIONS AND THEY BOTH INFORMED ME THAT BOCH TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE TAKEN CARE OF IT. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE CONTACT ME ? I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO PROCEED WITH THIS SICE I'M DRIVING A CAR WITH AIR BAGS THAT WILL NOT DEPLOY IN CASE I HAVE AN ACCIDENT.

TAKATA RECALL MY ENGINE LIGHT IS ON I WAS TOLD THEY HAVE A RECALL IN 2010 ON TOYOTA COROLLA BUT I DIDN'T HAVE THE CAR AT THAT TIME AM I STILL ELIGIBLE TO GET THAT FIX FOR FREE

AIR BAGS DID NOT GO OFF IN A HARD COLLISION WITH A DEER. COVERING OF BUMPER GONE, HOOD BENT 18"+-, RADIATOR PUSHED INTO ENGINE ,FRAME BENT ON DRIVER'S SIDE IN FRONT OF THE DOOR. CAR NOT DRIVEABLE AND YET THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. STATE FARM HAS THE CAR POLICY 182 5776-C28-23A. POLICE REPORT BEC ICR 16-17141, BLUE EARTH COUNTY , MN STATE FARM CLAIM 23-0177-0W2. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN OWNED BY FAMILY MEMBERS SINCE PURCHASED NEW. OUR CONCERN IS THAT THE AIR BAG DID NOT GO OFF AND IT POSSIBLY WAS UNHOOKED.
