2007 TOYOTA COROLLA Complaints

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.

ON MARCH 12, 2015, AT APPROXIMATELY 11:00 A.M, I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM SACRAMENTO POLICE DEPARTMENT STATING THAT MY VEHICLE WAS STRUCK BY A SOLID WASTE VEHICLE. I CALLED THE CITY OF SACRAMENTO AND EVEN EMAILED THE CITY OF SACRAMENTO AND I RECEIVED NO RESPONSE. I PICKED UP A COPY OF THE POLICE REPORT ON 04/01/2015. THE NAME OF THE DRIVER THAT STRUCK MY VEHICLE IS [XXX]. THE TRUCK THAT STRUCK MY VEHICLE IS A 2012 NEWWAY RECYCLE TRUCK (BLUE). ACCORDING TO THE POLICE REPORT, [XXX] WAS DISTRACTED BY A MAN WHO WALKED UP TO HIM AND "STARTED TALKING TO HIM ABOUT A TV". I CONTACTED [XXX] (INTEGRATED WASTE SUPERVISOR) AND I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO COVER ALL EXPENSES OUT OF POCKET INCLUDING DEDUCTIBLE, AND RENTAL CAR FOR THE ENTIRE TIME IT TAKES TO FIX MY CAR.

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 FEW MINUTES 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 WHICH CASE THERE COULD BE A VERY BAD ACCIDENT DUE TO THE THROTTLE STICKING OPEN IF THAT'S WHAT THE CAUSE IS. *JS

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING FROM HOUSTON TO AUSTIN ON US 290. JUST WEST OF PAIGE, TX. SHE EXPERIENCED SOME VIBRATION THAT SHE ATTRIBUTED TO CONSTRUCTION BUT BEFORE SHE COULD SLOW DOWN SHE EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN BLOWOUT OF THE FRONT LEFT TIRE WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH. THE TEMPERATURE WAS IN THE LOW 70'S AND THE ROAD WAS DRY. TIRES WERE LAST PRESSURE CHECKED TWO WEEKS AGO AND ALL FILLED TO 30 PSI AS THEY HAD DEFLATED TO 25 TO 27 PSI SINCE THE LAST CHECK. EXTENSIVE DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE FENDER AND WHEEL WELL LINER AND ADDITIONAL DAMAGE WAS DONE TO TH FRONT BUMPER, AND HOOD. THE SIDE AIR DAM WAS COMPLETELY TORN OFF. *JS

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. *TR
