I HAD A MALFUNCTIONING TIMING CHAIN AND ITS PARTS, AND AN ENGINE PROBLEM ON MY TOYOTA COROLLA 2005 WITHOUT PRIOR WARRING, SUCH AS AN ENGINE CHECK LIGHT, RATTLING, KNOCKING, OR STALLING. ALSO I WASNT AWARE THAT THESE PROBLEMS COULD HAPPEN BECAUSE THERE ISNT ANY TIMING CHAIN SYSTEM MAINTENANCE IN THE TOYOTA 2005 SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE GUIDE BOOKLET. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPAIRED MY CAR THOUGHT THAT THE TENSIONER ON THE TIMING CHAIN MAY HAVE HAD A PROBLEM THAT CAUSED THE CAM GEAR TO WEAR OUT, SO THAT THE TIMING CHAIN SLIPPED OFF THE CAM GEAR. THEN, THE PROBLEM CAUSED THE ENGINE VALVES TO BE BENT. FINALLY MY CAR GOT FIXED. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED IN A SHOPPING MALL PARKING LOT WHEN I STARTED THE ENGINE, I FELT BOOM, BOOM, KNOCKING COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR. I DROVE OUT OF THE PARKING LOT CAREFULLY, BUT I WAS CONCERNED BECAUSE IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I EVER HAD THIS KNOCKING FROM THE CAR. SO I STOPPED IN A DIFFERENT PARKING LOT OF THE SAME MALL. I LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD AND CHECKED THE DRIVE BELT, WHICH WAS INTACT. THERE WAS NO FOUL SMELL. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND PAID ATTENTION TO ANYTHING UNUSUAL. I HEARD RATTLING AND I DECIDED TO TAKE MY CAR TO AN AUTO MECHANIC SHOP, WHICH IS CLOSER THAN GOING HOME. WITH MY EMERGENCY LIGHT ON, I DROVE INTO THE STREET LESS MILE WHEN I HEARD SOUNDS LIKE METAL OR SODA CANS CRUSHING AROUND IN THE ENGINE. THEN MY CAR SLOWLY STOPPED AND THE ENGINE STOPPED. I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND SLID DOWN TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, BARELY OFF THE ROAD. EVE

THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG IS KNOWN TO BE DEFECTIVE AND TO POTENTIALLY CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. TOYOTA'S CURRENT REMEDY IS TO INSTRUCT ME TO "NOT DRIVE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT". IF THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIX MY VEHICLE IN A TIMELY FASHION THEY SHOULD BE PROVIDING ME WITH A SAFE ALTERNATIVE TO DRIVE. THIS LANGUAGE CAN NOT BE USED AS JARGON TO WAIVE THEIR RESPONSIBILITY IN CASE OF INJURY. THEIR EXPLICIT FAILURE TO FIX THIS IN A TIMELY MANNER IS UNACCEPTABLE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, MY BACK TIRE'S SIDEWALL BLEW OUT AND I WAS FORCED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE TIRE WAS IN GOOD CONDITION WITH PLENTY OF TREAD DEPTH LEFT. VEHICLE IS PARKED ON PAVEMENT AND NOT GRASS TO PROMOTE MOISTURE/DRY ROT. AFTER READING ON LINE, MICHELIN HAS RECALLED 100,000 TIRES LAST MONTH. A COWORKER STATED THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THEIR MICHELIN TIRE LAST WEEK. PLEASE INVESTIGATE SMALLER MICHELIN TIRES. THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECTIVE TIRE AND SEEMS TO BE VERY COMMON. LUCKILY IT WAS A BACK TIRE AND I REMAINED IN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.

ON THURSDAY JULY 16 2015, I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL FOR MY 2005 COROLLA. IT STATES THE MALFUNCTION OF THE AIRBAGS AND STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THAT NO ONE OCCUPIES THE PASSENGER SEAT SO THAT IF FOR SOME REASON THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY, IT COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. WHILE LOOKING UP INFORMATION ABOUT THIS RECALL, I FOUND THAT IT ORIGINALLY WAS RECALLED ON MAY 13TH 2015, TWO MONTHS BEFORE I RECEIVED MINE IN THE MAIL. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT TOYOTA WOULD WAIT THAT LONG TO INFORM ITS DRIVERS. ON TOP OF THIS, I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT FIXED, ONLY TO BE TOLD TODAY THAT TOYOTA IS ONLY SENDING THE PARTS TO THE DEALERSHIPS IN SMALL INCREMENTS. MY COMPLAIN ONLY ENTAILS THAT TOYOTA IS NOT TAKING CARE OF THIS PROBLEM IN A TIMELY MANNER. THANK YOU

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND ON MY WAY I HEARD THIS "CLICK CLICK" SOUND COMING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE DASHBOARD. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS SO AND DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. ROUGHLY ABOUT THREE OR FOUR MORE DAYS GO BY AND THE ANNOYING CLICKING STARTED AGAIN AND THEN ONE OF THE ICON ON THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP. I OPENED THE GLOVE BOX TO GET OUT THE MANUAL. THE MANUAL HAD SHOWN THAT IT WAS THE AIRBAG LIGHT. I FIGURED SINCE I WAS DUE FOR A OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT WOULD ASK THEM ABOUT THAT LIGHT. ON AUGUST 2, 2013 I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THE OIL CHANGE. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE LIGHTED ICON WAS ABOUT THE AIRBAG AND SAID THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I ASKED "HOW COME I NEED TO REPLACE A AIRBAG THAT I HAVEN'T BEEN USED YET?" THEY SAID THAT SPIRAL CABLE HAD A FAILURE AND THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BEFORE I GOT A INSPECTION STICKER OR ELSE MY CAR WILL FAIL THE INSPECTION. I ASKED THE MAN IF IT WAS PART OF A RECALL BECAUSE IT DIDN'T SOUND RIGHT TO ME THAT A AIRBAG WILL NEED REPLACING EVEN IF IT HASN'T BEEN USED. THEY SAID NO. SO I MADE A APPOINTMENT FOR AUGUST 24, 2013. I PAID $380.00 FOR THE REPAIR OF A SPIRAL CABLE. I WASN'T HAPPY AT ALL. SO NOW JULY 20, 2015 I GET A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT REPLACING THE AIRBAG AND WHICH I PAID $380.00 FOR BACK IN 2013. MY FIRST QUESTION HOW DO OR WHO DO I GET MY REFUND FOR REPLACING A DEFECTED AIRBAG? CAN YOU PLEASE DIRECT ME TO THE PROPER PLACE TO MAKE A CLAIM BECAUSE I THINK THAT IT'S UNFAIR FOR ME TO LOOSE OUT ON $380. I AM VERY UPSET BECAUSE

ALL THE SUDDEN I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND IT STOP ALL TOGETHER AND IT WILL NOT START UP AGAIN. I HAVE CHECKED EVERYTHING THAT COULD BE CHECK FROM ALTERNATOR, BATTERY, FUSES ANY VISIBLE DAMAGE TO CABLES, ECT BUT NO LUCK AT ALL.

DEAR ALL, IN MY TOYOTA COROLLA 2005 CAR, CHECK ENGINE SIGN ARE COMING AND GOING. THERE IS SOME ISSUE WITH FUEL PUMP OR GAS TANK. I HAVE ASKED THE SAME TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP BUT THEY HAVE NO ANSWER FOR THE SAME. THEY ARE SAYING FOR CHECKING I HAVE TO PAY 150+ USD. AS THIS IS A MECHANICAL ISSUE, PLEASE HELP ME TO DEAL WITH THE SAME.

WINDOW BOLT ATTACHED TO REGULATOR BROKE AND WINDOW WON'T ROLL UP CORRECTLY AND RATTLES. IT IS THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW. SAME ISSUE THAT WAS IN THE 2003 TOYOTA COROLLA MODEL.

THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED FREQUENTLY SINCE THE FIRST EVENT: FOR NO KNOWN REASON, ENGINE RPMS DROP TO POINT WHERE VEHICLE BARELY MOVING. CAN SHUT VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART AND PROBLEM GOES AWAY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON BUT NO HELP IN DIAGNOSIS. BEEN TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. REPLACED ECM AND TRIED OTHER POSSIBLE "FIXES". SO FAR, HAS ONLY OCCURRED IN RURAL AREAS AT SPEEDS OF 35 MPH OR LESS. FORTUNATELY NOT MUCH TRAFFIC. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL GO OFF BY ITSELF AS PROBLEM "FIXES ITSELF". A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION BUT NO ANSWERS FROM DEALER OR MANUFACTURER.

I WAS TRAVELING 70 MPH ON THE FREEWAY WHILE A CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN FRONT OF ME. I SLAMMED ON MY BREAKS AND GOT THE CAR TO SLOW DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH BEFORE HITTING HIS CAR IN THE BACK. MY HEAD HIT THE STEERING WHEEL FROM THE IMPACT OF THE CRASH. THE RADIATOR IS BUSTED, THE BUMPER CAME OFF, MY FRAME WAS BENT, MY HEADLIGHTS ARE OFF, MY CAR DENTED SO FAR BACK THE FRONT DOORS WOULDN'T OPEN, AND MY AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY.

I WAS DRIVING NORTHBOUND IN A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA ON AVALON PARK BLVD. FORD FUSION HEADING SOUTHBOUND ENTERED LEFT TURN LANE AND DID NOT SLOW DOWN. THE DRIVER OF THE OTHER VEHICLE CONTINUED INTO THE INTERSECTION AND COLLIDED WITH MY COROLLA ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. MY HEAD HIT THE INSIDE OF THE WINDOW ON DRIVER'S SIDE UPON IMPACT AND IMMEDIATELY MY BODY JERKED TO THE RIGHT. DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY UPON IMPACT. THE AIRBAG DID FINALLY DEPLOY AS MY BODY JERKED TO THE RIGHT WHICH CAUSED BURNS ON MY LEFT ARM. I AND THE OTHER DRIVER DROVER OUR VEHICLES INTO THE 7-11 PARKING LOT AND I CALLED 9-11. ORANGE COUNTY FIRE & RESCUE HAD TO EXTRACT ME FROM MY COROLLA AND PLACE ME IN AN AMBULANCE. I WAS TAKEN TO FLORIDA HOSPITAL EAST EMERGENCY FOR TREATMENT. OTHER DRIVER WAS CITED FOR FAILING TO YIELD RIGHT AWAY. MY INSURANCE SAYS MY 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA WAS A TOTAL LOSS. TOYOTA HAS BEEN NOTIFIED AND IT IS BEING INVESTIGATED. I AM ALSO OBTAINING A PRODUCT LIABILITY LAWYER SINCE THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY UPON IMPACT. I AM CURRENTLY GOING TO PHYSICAL THERAPY 3 TIMES A WEEK. ALSO DEVELOPED DIZZINESS & HEADACHES 2 DAYS AFTER THE ACCIDENT. CRASH REPORT: 84901767

I DON'T UNDERSTAND REGARDING THE AIRBAG RECALLS. I JUST HEARD THAT TOYOTA HAS RECALLED MORE CARS AND YET I AM BEING TOLD IT STILL IS A REGIONAL RECALL. I HAVE A 2005 COROLLA AND I SEE IT ON LISTS OF RECALLED CARS AND YET BECAUSE I DON'T LIVE IN THE REGION MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED. IF THERE IS A DANGER, WHY DOESN'T NHTSA JUST ORDER THE AUTO MANUFACTURERS TO RECALL EVERYTHING? WHAT'S GOING ON?

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA THAT MY PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I CALLED THE DEALER AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF TO COMPLETE THE WORK. 20 MIN. LATER I WAS TOLD THAT THE WORK WOULD NOT BE DONE BECAUSE I DIDN'T LIVE IN AN AREA THAT NEEDED A NEW AIRBAG. I ASKED WHY I GOT THE LETTER THEN. I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CONTACT TOYOTA AND GIVE ME AN ANSWER WITHIN 24 HOURS. I DID NOT HEAR FROM THEM. THIS LAST WEEK I GOT A CALL FROM TOYOTA TO TELL ME THAT I NEEDED TO TAKE MY CAR IN TO A DEALER AND HAVE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG REPLACED. I TOLD THE PERSON WHAT HAD HAPPENED BEFORE. SHE ASSURED ME THAT THIS TIME THE WORK WOULD BE DONE. SHE CONNECTED ME TO THE DEALER AND I MADE THE APPOINTMENT. I TOOK THE CAR IN. THEY CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THEY NEEDED THE CAR FOR A LONGER TIME DUE TO SOME COMMUNICATION PROBLEMS WITH TOYOTA. I PICKED UP MY CAR AFTER THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAD CLOSED. I CALLED THE NEXT DAY AND ASKED WHY THE WORK HADN'T BEEN DONE. THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PART NEEDED TO DO THE REPLACEMENT. THEY HAVE HAD MY CAR TWICE FOR THE SAME RECALL AND I STILL DON'T HAVE THE PROBLEM TAKEN CARE OF. I FEEL THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE MADE AN APPOINTMENT IF THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART. I FEEL THAT THEY ARE GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND AND HAVE NO INTENTION OF REPLACING THE AIRBAG. *TR

TOOK THE VEHICLE TO TOYOTA GRAPEVINE TEXAS AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE SPIRAL CABLE WENT WRONG. HAD IT TESTED BY ANOTHER MECHANIC AND FOUND IT NO PROBLEM AT ALL. TOYOTA HAS RECALLED COROLLA FOR EVERY MODEL BETWEEN 2000 TO 2008 BUT 2005 COROLLA ON THE AIRBAG ISSUE. AND BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE AND WHAT I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE, I THINK A RECALL FOR THE AIRBAG ISSUE OF 2005 COROLLA IS DUE. *TR

I WAS SENT A LETTER FROM TOYOTA NOTIFYING ME THAT MY 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA S IS PART OF THE TEKATA AIR BAG INFLATOR MODULE RECALL I WAS INSTRUCTED TO TAKE MY CAR IN TO THE LOCAL DEALER TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED. THE TOYOTA FIX WHICH WAS NOT A FIX AT ALL WAS TO DISABLE MY FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG AND HANG A WARNING SIGN NOT TO HAVE ANYONE RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. IT HAS BEEN NEARLY THREE MONTHS THAT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO USE MY FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I FEEL THREE MONTHS IS MORE THAN LONG ENOUGH TO HAVE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED.

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL FROM TOYOTA ON MY CAR. THE SAFETY RECALL WAS FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATOR ASSEMBLY. THE NOTICE I RECEIVED INDICATED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER & THEY WOULD REPLACE THE INFLATOR ASSEMBLY. MY DAUGHTER HAS THE CAR AT COLLEGE & TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER FOR THE SAFETY RECALL. THE TOYOTA DEALER DID NOT REPLACE THE INFLATOR ASSEMBLY BUT INSTEAD TURNED OFF THE AIR BAG & PUT A STICKER ON THE DASHBOARD THAT NO ONE COULD RIDE IN THE FRONT SEAT. WHILE THIS TAKES CARE OF TOYOTA'S LIABILITY IT DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. THE DEALER MENTIONED THAT TOYOTA WAS NOT GOING TO REPLACE THE PART AT ALL. I SPOKE TO TOYOTA & THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD EVENTUALLY REPLACE THE PART BUT DID NOT KNOW WHEN. *TR

THE HEADLIGHTS SEEM NOTICEABLY DIM AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING. I THOUGHT IT COULD BE MY EYES, BUT THEN A RIDER WITH ME NOTICED IT AS WELL AND MENTIONED IT TO ME, SO I KNOW IT IS NOT MY EYES.

I HAD MY GARAGE MECHANIC LOOK AT IT ABOUT A YEAR AGO TO SEE IF THE LIGHTS NEEDED ADJUSTMENT, AS BOTH HEADLIGHTS SEEMED OFF FROM EACH OTHER WHEN I AM PARKED IN MY GARAGE. I CAN'T REMEMBER IF HE TRIED TO MAKE AN ADJUSTMENT OR NOT. *TR
