2005 TOYOTA COROLLA Complaints

PAINT ON ROOF, HOOD, AND TRUNK HAD RAPIDLY RUSTED OVER THE PAST 3-4 YEARS. CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW IN 2005 IN CALIFORNIA BUT I'VE LIVED IN LOUISIANA FOR 8.5 YEARS (AS OF JAN 2018). THE ROOF IS COMPLETELY RED RUSTED, THE HOOD HAS WORN PAINT AND LOTS OF CHIPS, AND THE TRUNK IS BEGINNING TO GET THE SAME "SUN DAMAGE" LOOKING PAINT WEAR THAT THE HOOD HAS.

TAKATA RECALL: I REALLY DON'T HAVE A COMPLAINT BUT MORE OF A QUESTION. I WORK FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE IN BANGKOK THAILAND (PROBABLY THE MOST HOT/HUMID PLACE ON EARTH. I HAVE MY TOYOTA COROLLA WITH ME HERE AND IT HAD THE TAKATA RECALL. CAN I TAKE MY CAR TO A DEALER HERE IN BANGKOK? OR JUST WAIT TILL I BRING THE CAR HOME WITH ME IN JUNE AFTER THIS THREE YEAR TOUR IN BANGKOK? THANK YOU, [XXX] 'INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY CAR WHEN LEFT ON IN PARK WILL SHUT OFF BY ITSELF AFTER A SHORT TIME (THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE), TODAY WHEN I WAS IN DRIVE AND ABOUT TO PULL OUT OF WORK IT SHUT OFF. I RESTARTED IT AND EVERYTHING WORKED FINE. THE CAR WAS NOT MOVING WHEN IT SHUT OFF, BUT BOTH TIMES THE ENGINE AND OIL LIGHT CAME (THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN ANOTHER LIGHT) ON BUT WHEN RESTARTED THEY WENT OFF.

I AM TRYING TO LOCATE A DEALER IN THIS AREA AND TRYING TO FIND OUT IF I HAVE OUTSTANDING RECALLS, I NEED TO KNOW IF MY AIR BAGS WERE PART OF THE RECALL. I VISITED A DEALER AND HAD ONE RECALL FIXED, THEY WERE SUPPOSE TO CALL ME ON ANOTHER AND NEVER HEARD FROM THEM.

MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR - THE ELECTRIC DOOR LOCK WORKS SOMETIMES, MOST TIMES IT DOESN'T. ALL THE OTHER ELECTRIC LOCKS IN THE CAR CONTINUE TO WORK.

I ONLY HAVE 44,000 MILES ON MY 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA AND THE AIR COMPRESSOR WENT OUT. I HAVE READ THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED IN NUMEROUS COROLLAS FROM THE SAME YEAR. I BELIEVE THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AND RECALLED OR I WILL SELL MY CAR AND NEVER BUY A TOYOTA AGAIN. I WILL ALSO POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA ABOUT TOYOTA'S NEGLIGENCE AND MISTREATMENT OF CUSTOMERS. I HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER THAT NEEDS AIR CONDITIONING, SO I AM VERY UPSET OVER THIS ISSUE. IT IS NOT JUST AN "INCONVIENENCE" AS IT WAS CALLED BY TOYOTA'S "CUSTOMER SERVICE". PLEASE SORT THIS ISSUE. *TR

I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 2005 BRAND NEW ZERO MILEAGES ON IT. IT IS TOYOTA COROLLA 2005. MY ORIGINAL COLOR OF THE CAR HOOD IS COMING OUT. IT STARTS COMING OFF. I THINK IT HAD PAINT DEFECT. PAINT IS COMING OFF AND THE CART HOOD HAS BEEN ROUGH AT ALL SIDES. THE ORIGINAL COLOR IS GRAY AND NOW LOOKS AT SCRAPPING AT ALL THE CAR HOOD. I DON'T KNOW WHAT DO TO BECAUSE IT LOOKS UGLY AND I NEVER WANTED MY CAR TO BE LIKE THIS. THE VEHICLE IT'S IN NORMAL FUNCTION AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN IN HOUSE CARPORT.
