1995 TOYOTA COROLLA Complaints

WHILE TRAVELING AT 45 MPH DRIVER LOST CONTROL AND HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE HEAD ON. UPON IMPACT, NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. *AK

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

MY 1995 TOYOTA COROLLA HAS A "PIN-HOLE IN THE GAS TANK" NECESSITATING THE WHOLE TANK BE REPLACED. THE LOCATION OF THE HOLE IS DIRECTLY OVER THE EXHAUST PIPE, MAKING THE CAR UNSAFE DUE TO FIRE DANGER. THE TOYOTA REPAIR DEPT. SEEMS UNCLEAR IF THIS IS CAUSED BY A DEFECT IN THE TANK, A ROAD HAZARD OR INTERNAL CORROSION. IF THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT, YOU SHOULD WARN OTHER OWNERS OF THIS CAR, SO THERE ARE NO VEHICLE FIRES. SHOULD YOU WISH TO INSPECT THIS VEHICLE, IT IS ON SITE AT TOYOTA OF WILMINGTON 5640 MARKET ST. WILM NC 28405.
