2007 Toyota Corolla complaints

STEERING ISSUE - OCCURS FREQUENTLY - FEELING OF LESS CONTROL IN TURNS AND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. BRAKES - OCCASIONAL - SUDDEN INCREASE IN BRAKE POWER WHEN BRAKING LIGHTLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. DOES NOT CONTINUE AFTER RELEASING BRAKE PEDAL BUT IS VERY NOTICEABLE. HAVE HAD THE BRAKES (DRUMS, PADS) REPAIRED / REPLACED TWICE (ONCE AT A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP) USING TOYOTA PARTS AND THE ISSUE PERSISTS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE NOTICED POWER STEERING FAILURE ON OCTOBER 4, 2009. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH WITH PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO VIBRATE. ALTHOUGH, IT WAS RAINING WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED, THE WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE NOT A FACTOR. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A TOYOTA DEALER ON OCTOBER 5, 2009. THE DEALER STATED THAT HE COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG AND THAT HE COULD ROTATE, AND BALANCE THE TIRES. THE CONTACT REFUSED TO HAVE THE TIRES ROTATED BUT ACCEPTED HAVING THEM BALANCED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 35,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000.

WE HAVE TWO TOYOTAS,A 2006 CAMRY LE AND A 2007 COROLLA. IN BOTH CASES IN THE LAST MONTH WE HAVE EXPERIENCED SUDDEN SURGES WHILE THE CARS WERE IN GEAR BUT COMPLETELY STOPPED. IN THE FIRST,THE 2006 CAMRY MADE A SUDDEN SURGE AHEAD WHILE WAITING AT AN INTERSECTION. IT LASTED ONLY A BRIEF MOMENT BUT IT WAS QUITE NOTICEABLE. I REPORTED IT TO OUR TOYOTA DEALER RIGHT AWAY AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT ONE OF THE RECALLED VEHICLES. THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE SERVICE DEPT. SEEMED UNCONCERNED EVEN THOUGH I INSISTED ON THE SERIOUSNESS OF IT. THE SECOND OCCURRED THIS LAST WEEK AND WAS FAR MORE SERIOUS. WHILE AWAITING AT A STOP SIGN THE CAR BEGAN TO REV TREMENDOUSLY AND THE RPMS SHOT INTO THE RED ZONE. I HAD MY FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE AND IMMEDIATELY PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL BEFORE SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE ENTIRELY. I RE STARTED THE ENGINE SHORTLY AND NO FURTHER PROBLEMS RESULTED THAT DAY. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE SAME DEALER AND DETAILED THE EVENT TO THE SERVICE DEPT.. I WAS TOLD TO BRING IT IN IMMEDIATELY,WHICH I DID.THIS ONE WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY DID A CODE CHECK ON IT AND FOUND NOTHING AMISS. I KNOW THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG! I WROTE TO TOYOTA'S WEBSITE BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RESPONSE OTHER THAN THEY WOULD LOOK INTO THE FIRST REPORT FILED AFTER THE INCIDENT WITH THE 2007 CAMRY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK IN THE MORNING, THE 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT FOR MY 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA CAME ON, AND THE CAR BEGAN TO 'JERK' OR 'STUTTER', AS THOUGH IT WAS SWITCHING GEARS OR LOSING POWER. MY HUSBAND AND I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALER, AND THEY FOUND CODES P0441, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY P2716 -- CORRECTION WAS R&R ENGINE CONTROL MODULE, AND THE PEOPLE WORKING ON IT SEEMED TO HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF THE ISSUE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY TOYOTA COROLLA 2007 GOING BACK HOME, I WAS DRIVING APPR. 45 M/HR ON HIGHWAY, SUDDENLY MY I FELT THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING AND SUDDENLY LOST CONTROL OVER MY CAR, I HIT THE RIGHT HIGHWAY WALL AND THEN THE LEFT HIGHWAY WALL. I CAN NOT EXPLAIN HOW THIS HAPPENED, I ONLY KNOW THAT I LOST CONTROL OVER THE STEERING WHEEL. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE 60 FREEWAY WITH MY 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA. IT DRIFTED TO THE RIGHT FOR MORE THAN 100 YARDS. WHEN I CORRECTED IT, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED TO THE LEFT AND I ENDED UP RUNNING INTO THE CENTRAL DIVIDER. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 30 MILE, THE STEERING WHEEL JUST VEER IN ONE DIRECTION, CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR. TOW IT TO THE DEALER. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DROPPING OFF OUR CHILDREN AT OUR NEIGHBORS HOUSE (WHERE THEY CATCH THE SCHOOL BUS) AND WHEN SHE TURNED THE CAR AROUND IN THEIR DRIVEWAY IT UNEXPECTATLY TOOK OFF ON HER. OUR COROLLA CRASHED INTO OUR NEIGHBORS LARGE SUV WHICH WAS NO MORE THAN 10 FEET OR SO IN FRONT OF THE COROLLA AND PUSHED IT THROUGH THE WALL IN THEIR GARAGE. THE COROLLA, THEIR SUV, AND THE WALL OF THEIR GARAGE WERE ALL DAMAGED (ABOUT $8,000 TOTAL). *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA. IN OCTOBER OF 2008 WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED UP TO 80 MPH WITHOUT WARNING. HE COLLIDED INTO A TREE AND THE DRIVER FRONTAL AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE INSURANCE COMPANY DID NOT INVESTIGATE THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION, OR THE AIR BAG FAILURE. THE POLICE REPORT NUMBER WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 10,000.

THERE ARE DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES WHICH COMPELS ME TO WRITE THIS COMPLAIN FORM. IT IS ABOUT A 2007 COROLLA WHICH I OWN. I WAS EXPERIENCING ACCELERATION PROBLEM ABOUT THIS CAR. TO PUT IT MORE PRECISELY THE CAR HAS A TENDENCY TO ACCELERATE AT DIFFERENT RATE. I AM SURE IT IS NOT BECAUSE OF CHANGING SHIFTS BECAUSE I ALSO HAVE ANOTHER COROLLA OF THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL. AT FIRST WHEN I START THE CAR AND SHIFT TO DRIVE MORE THE CAR HAS A TENDENCY TO JUMP WHICH IS MORE LIKE WHEN YOU CHANGE A MOTORCYCLE GEAR WITHOUT CLUTCHING. AND WHILE I ACCELERATE, SOMETIMES THE GAS PEDAL JUST GOES DOWN BUT THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE. WHEN I EXPERIENCED THIS I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT IT WAS NOT A PROBLEM OF THE CAR BUT IT IS HOW SOME COMPUTER CHIP IN THE CAR BEHAVES. THIS WAS IN 2008. IN 2009, I DOUBT GAINED STRENGTH WHEN I WAS TAKING MY COUSIN SISTER AND HER FRIEND TO MY COUSINS WEDDING. I WAS DRIVING THROUGH THE LEVELED ROAD IN INTESTATE HIGHWAY AND THEY EVEN RAISED THE QUESTION THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. STILL I EXPERIENCE THE PROBLEM. THOUGH I BELIEVE THAT ITS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM BECAUSE THE EXPERIENCE WHICH I HAVE WITH ONE CAR IS UNUSUAL COMPARED TO THE OTHER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH FROM THE RESIDENCE DRIVEWAY. UNEXPECTEDLY, THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD INTO A DITCH. THE ENGINE EXHIBITED A LIGHT SMOKE. THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG DEPLOYED WITH MODERATE FORCE AND CAUSED MINOR INJURY TO THE OCCUPANT. THE POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENT WERE CALLED TO THE SCENE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE FRONT END DAMAGES WERE SEVERE AND THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT A COST OF $8,000. THE IDENTICAL FAILURE OCCURRED ON A SEPARATE OCCASION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,558. THE SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED ON OCTOBER 29, 2009. THE CONSUMER WAS PARALLEL PARKING AND ONCE AGAIN, THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD SUDDENLY AN ONLY BY TROUNCING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH BOTH FEET SHE WAS ABLE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP, NARROWLY AVOIDING A COLLISION. THE CONSUMER VISITED THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED AN ADVISORY HAD BEEN ISSUED BY TOYOTOA ABOUT POTENTIAL PROBLEMS AND THE COMPUTER SYSTEM WAS REPLACED IN THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, PRIOR TO THE SECOND INCIDENT, THE CONSUMER CONTACTED AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE UNLESS SHE SAW A RED LIGHT. UPDATED 03/12/10. UPDATED 04/16/10. *LJUPDATED CONSUMER LETTER 09/14/10*JB

ON THIS DATE (NOV. 19, 2009) MY MOTHER AND I WERE ON THE WAY TO WORK ON INTERSTATE 45, IT WAS A CLEAR DAY NO WEATHER ISSUES AT ALL. AFTER ABOUT 20 MIN INTO OUR COMMUTE WE CAME UP ON AN ACCIDENT IN THE ROAD, WHERE A CAR UP AHEAD HAD SPENT OUT OF CONTROL, AS I APPLIED MY FOOT TO THE BRAKE THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AND INSTEAD OF THE CAR COMING TO A STOP WE COLLIDED WITH THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. NOW WHEN I SAY THE CAR KEPT GOING IT DID INSTEAD OF HITTING THE SUV ONCE WE HIT HIM TWICE AS IF MY FOOT WASN'T TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE ENTIRE FRONT OF MY CAR WAS DESTROYED, THE SUV IN FRONT HAD A SMALL DENT, BUT THANKS TO THE LORD NO ONE WAS HURT EXCEPT FOR A LARGE BRUISE ON MY MOTHER AND LOTS OF HURT FEELINGS FOR ME. THE POLICE WERE CALLED TO THE SCENE AND IT WAS WHEN THEY SHOWED UP I REALIZED THAT THE IMPACT WAS SO BAD THAT IT JARRED OUR DOORS SHUT. AFTER THE OFFICERS INVESTIGATION MY MOTHER AND I WERE LET GO WITHOUT A TICKET BEING THAT THE WRECK WAS CAUSED BY ANOTHER PERSONS FAULT (THE SPINNING CAR UP AHEAD). WHAT WAS THE MOST DIFFICULT FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND WAS THE FACT THAT WE HIT THE SUV IN FRONT OF ME TWICE. IT WASN'T LIKE MY CAR WASN'T IN GOOD SHAPE, A 2007 COROLLA WITH 55,000 MILES, THAT HAD JUST GOT 2 NEW FRONT TIRES AND NEW BRAKE PADS ALL THE WAY AROUND. NOW I AM DEALING WITH A $8000.00 REPAIR BILL THAT I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO PAY YET. *TR

HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAROLLA.THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED, ME AND MY WIFE WERE OUT SHOPPING. WE WENT ALL OVER THE PLACE THAT DAY, WE PULLED IN TO THE LOCAL WALMART AND THE CAR JUST DIED. TRIED TO CHANGE THE BATTERY ,BUT NOTHING. HAD IT TOWED TO THE SHOP. 1 WEEK LATER THEY SAID IT WAS A FUSIBLE LINK. (IT JUST BURNT IN HALF). IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO WORK ON THE FREEWAY I WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. HAD TO PAY AROUND $600 TO HAVE THIS FIXED WAS OVER THE WARRANTY BY 4000 MILES. *TR

THE FIRST TIME I EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH MY BRAKES OCCURRED ON APRIL 28TH, 2007. I WAS EXITING A PARKING LOT THAT HAD A DOWNWARD SLOPE AND AS I MERGED ONTO THE MAIN ROAD, I STEPPED ON MY BRAKES BUT MY CAR WOULD NOT STOP. I WAS FORCED TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKES, BUT EVEN THEN, THE VEHICLE DID NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP FOR ANOTHER 10 YARDS. ON MAY 2ND, 2007, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BE CHECKED AT HOLLYWOOD TOYOTA IN LOS ANGELES, CA. THE INVOICE NOTES STATE THAT THE CAUSES FOR THE BRAKE PROBLEMS ON THIS PARTICULAR OCCASION WERE THAT THE 'BRAKE PEDAL WAS SPONGY' AND THE 'BRAKES WERE OUT OF ADJUSTMENT'. FOR THE VEHICLE BEING BRAND NEW AND ME BEING THE FIRST OWNER, I FIND IT RATHER DISTURBING THAT THESE BRAKE PROBLEMS HAD ALREADY BECOME AN ISSUE AFTER ONLY ONE MONTH OF OWNERSHIP. ON MARCH 24TH, 2009, ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT BRAKING INCIDENT HAPPENED. AS I ENTERED THE DRIVEWAY OF MY HOME, I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR TO GO UP THE DRIVEWAY'S INCLINE AND THEN TAPPED ON MY BRAKES. WHEN I TAPPED ON THE BRAKES THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. I PULLED ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKES BUT IT STILL DID NOT STOP. I WAS FORCED TO STEER MY VEHICLE IN THE DIRECTION OF MY HOUSE IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO HOPEFULLY STOP WITH THE IMPACT. THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE BROKE THROUGH A WOODEN FENCE SURROUNDING MY FRONT GARDEN BEFORE THE VEHICLE HIT THE CORNER OF MY HOUSE AND FINALLY CAME TO A HALT. THE MOST SERIOUS BRAKING FAILURE INCIDENT OCCURRED ON JUNE 25TH, 2009 IN THE KAISER SUNSET PARKING STRUCTURE

WHILE DRIVING ON A CROWDED 4 LANE STREET IN WADSWORTH OHIO , MY CAR SUDDENLY LOST ACCELERATION, IT DID NOT STALL BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE SPEED REDUCED TO 5 TO 10 MILES INSTANTLY WITH BUSY TRAFFIC ALL AROUND ME, I PUT MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE THERE WERE CARS COMING BEHIND ME AT NORMAL SPEED, I SLOWLY MOVED MY CAR CAUTIOUSLY TO THE FURTHEST RIGHT LANE, WHERE I WAS ABLE TO GO INTO A PARKING LOT. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC WHERE HE HOOKED IT UP TO A COMPUTER ANALYZER, THE RESULT SHOWED THAT THE CONTROL MODULE PERFORMANCE CODE P0607, WHICH IS A COMPUTER MALFUNCTION, WE HAVE CONTACTED A TOYOTA DEALER, WE HAVE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THEM TO DO THERE OWN DIAGNOSIS, AND HOPEFULLY FIX THE PROBLEM, IN THE MEAN TIME I CANNOT DRIVE CAR AND NOT WORRY ABOUT MY SAFETY ON THE ROAD. *TR

MY 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA STALLED WHILE DRIVING WITHIN THE CITY AT 45 MPH, WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECOMING NON RESPONSIVE AND THE ENGINE LOSING OUT POWER. THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT ALSO WENT ON. THIS STALLING ISSUE HAPPENED TWICE AND I HAD TO DRIVE ONTO THE CURB TO EVADE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ACCIDENT IN THE TRAFFIC. BOTH THE INCIDENTS OCCURRED ON 08/06/2008. SUBSEQUENT TO THE STALLING THE CAR WOULD NOT START. AFTER TRYING FEW TIME I COULD GET IT TO START ONCE MORE AND BARELY MANAGED TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERS SERVICE STATION. THE DEALER KEPT THE CAR OVERNIGHT AND CALLED ME TO INFORM NEXT DAY THAT THEY COULD NOT QUITE FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM AND REPLACED THE COMPUTER IN THE CAR. THE CAR BEING UNDER WARRANTY I WAS NOT CHARGED ANYTHING. THE DEALER COMMENTS ON MY INVOICE STATED - "ENGINE ECU MALFUNCTION REPLACE ENGINE ECU". (FOR THE STALLING PROBLEM) "IMMOBILIZER NOT RESPONDING". (FOR THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT) THE INCIDENT HAS NOT OCCURRED SINCE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT AND MY ENGINE SUDDENLY DIED, FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I TRIED TO RESTART THE ENGINE BUT IT WOULDN'T START. I COASTED INTO A SPOT, AND THEN I RESTARTED THE CAR. THIS TIME IT STARTED FINE. THE ENGINE REVVED LOUDLY. I ATTEMPTED TO MOVE THE CAR FORWARD, BUT IT STALLED AGAIN AFTER A FEW FEET. WHEN I REPORTED IT TO THE DEALER, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE ECM WAS BAD, BUT THEY COULD NOT IDENTIFY WHAT HAD CAUSED THE DEFECT. *TR

I WAS IN THE DRIVE THROUGH LINE AT MCDONALD'S IN MADISON GEORGIA. AFTER PAYING FOR MY ORDER, I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR TO MOVE UP TO THE NEXT WINDOW AND "ZOOM" MY CAR ACCELERATED AND REAR ENDED A TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME. MY PASSENGER NOR I WERE INJURED, JUST SHAKEN UP A BIT. THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE EVEN AFTER RUNNING INTO THE TRUCK. I TURNED OFF THE CAR TO STOP THE ACCELERATION. THIS INCIDENT HAS ONLY OCCURRED ONCE. HOWEVER, THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT PUSHES OFF QUICKLY MOST OF THE TIME. AS A RESULT OF THE CRASH MY ENTIRE FRONT END WAS DAMAGED AND HAD TO BE REPAIRED. THE TOYOTA REPAIRMAN TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING THAT WOULD CAUSE THE CAR TO ACCELERATE. THEY FIX THE DAMAGE CAUSE BY THE CRASH. *TR

ENGINE STALLING - ECM FAILURE ON A 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA. DEALER REPLACED THE COMPUTER RIGHT AWAY FREE OF CHARGE. PART # IS 89661-02K22 THE CAR WAS RUNNING 40MPH WHEN IT STOPPED AND IT ALMOST GOT HIT BY THE CAR BEHIND. *TR

IT'S A 2007 COROLLA. I DON'T USUALLY DRIVE MUCH BEFORE AND I DO DRIVE A LOT SINCE I TRANSFER TO COLLEGE AND HAVE TO GO ON FWY. ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO, ONCE I TRIED TO STOP ON THE ROAD BECAUSE RIGHT LIGHT, I LEFT THE GAS PEDAL AND WAIT TO DECELERATE AND THEN STEP ON THE BREAK,BUT IT DIDN'T, I ALMOST HIT THE CAR BEFORE ME AND IT'S REALLY HARD TO STOP I HAD TO STEP IT REALLY HARD. FROM THAN TIME, I BEGAN TO REALIZE THAT THERE MIGHT BE A PROBLEM FOR IT. I CANT TELL EXACTLY HOW OFTEN IT HAPPEN, BUT SOMEHOW I KNOW WHEN IT GOES UP TO 60MPH, AND IT WILL DECELERATE. WHEN IT DROPS TO AROUND 45, IT STOPS TO DROP. AND WHEN I GO ON THE FWY, WHEN IT HITS CERTAIN SPEED LIKE 75, SOME TIMES IT WON'T SLOW DOWN EVEN I LEAVE MY FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDAL AFTER I KNEW THE TYT PETAL PROBLEM AND THE STEERING PROBLEM, I WONDER IF MY CAR WAS INVOLVED. HOWEVER, THIS MODEL IS NOT ON THE LIST, I STILL WORRIED ABOUT IT. BECAUSE TYT MIGHT HIDE THE PROBLEM, OR THEY DID FIND IT NOW AND THEY WILL FIND IT LATER. THIS WEEK I GOT A SPEEDING TICKET IN CA I-5 FWY AND I DOUBT THAT PART OF THE REASON IS THAT THE "RARE" ACCELERATE PROBLEM. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT BECAUSE THERE'S NO EVIDENCE TO SHOW THE PROBLEM RIGHT NOW. I HOPE THAT THE US WILL INVESTIGATE ALL MODEL FROM 2000 TO 2010 TO ENSURE PEOPLE SAFE. *TR

1) DRIVING 55 MPH EVENT HAPPENED WITHOUT WARNING. 2) THE DRIVERS DOOR POWER WINDOW(WINDOW WAS UP/CLOSED) BROKE AND BLEW (EXPLODED) INTO THE VEHICLE, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, THE DRIVER RECEIVED A MINOR SCRATCH ON LEFT FOREARM. 3) WAITING FOR DEALERSHIP TO OPEN. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA. SINCE THE DATE OF PURCHASE SHE NOTICED THAT THE STEERING DID NOT STAY STRAIGHT IT WAS A STRUGGLE TO KEEP IT IN STRAIGHT LINE. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER FIVE TIMES FOR THE FAILURE. THE DEALER TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND STATED IT WAS THE TIRES. THE DEALER REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES; HOWEVER THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 32,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA WHICH WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW. THE VEHICLE HAS GOODYEAR INTEGRITY TIRES, 195/65/R15, WHICH WERE THE ORIGINAL TIRES. SHE STATED THAT WHENEVER SHE WOULD TRAVEL ON WET ROAD CONDITIONS THE VEHICLE WOULD SLIDE AND THE BRAKES WOULD NOT RESPOND. ON ONE OCCASION, WHILE EXITING A HIGHWAY RAMP AT SPEEDS OF LESS THAN 15 MPH DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SLIDE AROUND THE EXIT RAMP. SHE ATTEMPTED TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE, TO NO AVAIL. SHE THEN PROCEEDED TO DO A COMPLETE 360 DEGREE TURN AND CRASHED INTO A CONCRETE WALL. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THERE WAS MODERATE DAMAGE ON THE FRONT-END OF THE VEHICLE AND SHE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FROM THE SCENE TO THE DEALER. SHE WAS AWAITING A DAMAGE ESTIMATE FROM THE DEALER. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE TO DATE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE UNDER 23,000. UPDATED 4/7/2010 *CN UPDATED 06/01/10

I BOUGHT A 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA TWO YEARS AGO AND HAVE NOTICED THAT SOMETIMES AT HIGH SPEED IT FEELS AS IF I'M LOOSING CONTROL OF THE CAR AND THAT THE STEERING FEELS LOOSE. AT THE BEGINNING, I DIDN'T PAY MUCH ATTENTION, BUT THIS HAD CREATED ME TO FEEL INSECURE WHEN I'M DRIVING FAST. I'M CURRENTLY AFRAID TO DRIVE OVER 55MPH BECAUSE I HAVE NOTICED THAT OVER THAT SPEED IT FEELS AS IF THE CAR IS GOING THRU A LOT OF WIND. I CAN'T REALLY TELL IF THE CAR IS GOING IN ONE PARTICULAR DIRECTION, IT JUST FEELS AS IF I CAN'T MAKE IT GO STRAIGHT AND HAVE TO CONSTANTLY CORRECT THE DIRECTION I'M DRIVING, EVEN IF IT'S A STRAIGHT ROAD. I TOOK THE CAR TO A SHOP TO GET IT CHECKED BUT THEY SAID THE COMPUTER DID NOT INDICATE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING SINCE 2003 AND THE LAST TWO YEARS HAVE BEEN VERY STRESSFUL, ALL THIS TIME I'VE BEEN THINKING IT WAS ME THAT COULDN'T KEEP CONTROL OF THE CAR AND HAD EVEN CONSIDERED RETAKING DRIVING CLASSES. I DEPEND ON MY CAR ON A DAILY BASIS AND WOULD DEEPLY APPRECIATE IF YOU COULD MAKE AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS ISSUE. *TR

WE HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA CE WHOSE BRAKES WORE DOWN TOO FAST. WE PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN 2007 WITH 58 MILES ON THE CAR. AT AROUND 20,000 MILES, WHEN WE PRESSED THE BRAKES, THERE WAS PLAY IN THE PEDAL AND THERE WAS A PULL TO THE RIGHT SLIGHTLY. TOYOTA, REPAIRED THE BRAKES SINCE OUR CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY. NOW OUR BRAKES ARE WEARING DOWN AGAIN AND PULLING TO THE SIDE AGAIN. *TR THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THE DEALER RECOMMENDED HAVING THE TIMING COVER RE-SEALED, TO STOP A FLUID LEAK. ON MAY 8, 2015, THE VALVE COVER GASKET WAS REPLACED. HOWEVER, THE DEALER DID NOT ADDRESS THE TIMING COVER LEAK ALTHOUGH THEY RECOMMENDED RE-SEALING IT. UPDATED 09/02/15.*JB

2007 TOYOTA COROLLA WANDERS AT HIGH SPEEDS. VERY MUCH LIKE GETTING PUSHED BY HIGH WINDS. I FIND MY SELF FIGHTING TO KEEP LANE POSITION. NEW PREMIUM TIRES AND ALIGNMENT FROM REPUTABLE TIRE DEALER HAS NOT CHANGED THE BEHAVIOR. *TR

I HAVE A TOYOTA COROLLA 2007, THE POWER STEERING LOCKS UP CAUSING ME TO BUMP IT ON THE GUTTER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNED A 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS AND UNEXPECTEDLY, THERE WAS AN INCREASE OF ACCELERATION. IN ADDITION, WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED THE VEHICLE SURGED AND THE ENGINE IDLED EXCESSIVELY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON TEN SEPARATE OCCASIONS FOR THE IDENTICAL FAILURES AND THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURES. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FLOOR MAT MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED FOR THE MALFUNCTION AND WAS TRADED IN FOR A NEW 2008 VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CONTACT NO LONGER OWNS A THE VEHICLE.

2007 TOYOTA COROLLA. STEERING WHEEL GETS STUCK ON THE RETURN FROM A LEFT OR A RIGHT TURN. THE RETURN ON THE STEERING WHEEL IS NOT A SMOOTH RETURN. ITS A HESITANT RETURN WITH A SHAKE. MAINLY HAPPENS ON COLDER DAYS. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ON 1/15/10 FOR THE ISSUE AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA WHICH UPON CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATION AND/OR REACTIVATION SPEEDS UP TO DESIRED SPEED (NORMAL) BUT THEN FEELS AS IF IT IS STUCK IN THE ACCELERATE MODE AND WILL CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE UNTIL IT FINALLY THUMPS OR THUDS INTO CRUISE. I'VE NOTICED THIS ABOUT 90% OF THE TIME WHEN I IMPOSE CC. I HAVE DONE NOTHING TO ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *TR

PURCHASED 2007 COROLLA FROM DEALER, DEFINITELY DRIFTS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, HAVE HAD IT RE-ALIGNED AT DEALER, DEALER SAYS THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT --REQUIRES FREQUENT STEERING CORRECTIONS TO KEEP IN WITHIN LANE. *TR

NOT A CRASH, BUT A CONCERN. I READ THAT YOU ARE LOOKING INTO STEERING OF COROLLAS FROM 2009 AND LATER, BUT PLEASE LOOK INTO EARLIER MODELS AS WELL. TWO MONTHS AGO A PROBLEM OCCURRED WITH MY CAR. TWICE WHILE DRIVING ON SLIGHTLY UNEVEN FREEWAYS, MY CAR HAS FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO LEAVE THE LANE, STEERING INTO THE NEXT LANE. I GRABBED THE WHEEL TIGHTER AND TURNED TO CORRECT IT, SO NO CRASH, BUT THE CAR DID MOVE SEVERAL FEET OVER BEFORE I GRABBED THE STEERING WHEEL. BOTH TIMES I WAS GOING 75-80 MPH. I THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY, BUT THEN READ ABOUT STEERING PROBLEMS. AS LONG AS I DRIVE LESS THAN 70, IT HAS NEVER HAPPENED AGAIN. (AND I HAVE OFTEN DRIVEN FAST IN BOTH THIS CAR AND PREVIOUS ONES) THE PROBLEM IS I CAN'T EXACTLY TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND SAY "SOMETIMES IT STEERS FUNNY" AS A DESCRIPTION. *TR

MY 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA JUST QUIT RUNNING AND I WAS STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THREE MEN PULLED OVER TO HELP ME. ONE STOPPED TRAFFIC WHILE THE OTHER TWO PUSHED ME OUT OF TRAFFIC INTO A NEARBY PARKING LOT. I CALLED AAA, WHO SENT A TRUCK WHICH TOWED ME TO TAO AUTO IN CARY, NC. TAO AUTO TOLD ME MONDAY THAT IT WAS A COMPUTER PROBLEM, SO I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO FRED ANDERSON TOYOTA IN RALEIGH, NC. FRED ANDERSON SAID THE COMPUTER IN MY CAR HAD MALFUNCTIONED, SO THEY REPLACED IT UNDER WARRANTY. THEY WERE PROMPT AND COURTEOUS. THIS IS A DANGEROUS TYPE OF FAILURE - HAD IT HAPPENED TEN MINUTES EARLIER, I WOULD HAVE BEEN STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF FIVE LANES OF HEAVY TRAFFIC ON I-40 , ALL MOVING AT ABOUT 70 MPH. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED ALONG WITH OTHER PEOPLE IN THE CARS AROUND ME. *TR

RE MY 2007 COROLLA CE. DRIVING WITH MY HUSBAND IN MY 2007 COROLLA IN 8/09 WAS MAKING RIGHT TURN OUT OF RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION ONTO HEAVY TRAFFIC ROADS DURING RUSH HOUR. WITH NO WARNING ENGINE LITERALLY STOPPED DEAD AS I WAS MOVING INTO LANE AND PERHAPS 20% OF WAY INTO LANE. ENGINE HAD BEEN RUNNING FINE BEFORE THAT WITH ABSOLUTELY NO INDICATION OF PROBLEM. FORTUNATELY--WHEN ENGINE STOPPED DEAD--FRONT OF CAR WAS NOT FULLY IN LANE INTO WHICH I WAS TURNING AND ONCOMING TRAFFIC COULD MOVE AROUND ME. TURNED OFF IGNITION, LET SET FOR PERHAPS 60 SECONDS; WAS ABLE TO RE-START ENGINE; CAR STARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME, DRIVING 1.2 MILES. GARAGED OVERNIGHT; CAR STARTED NEXT MORNING BUT DIED HALFWAY OUT OF GARAGE. AFTER 5-10 MINUTES STARTED AGAIN BUT DIED AFTER DRIVING 30 YARDS. HAD TOWED TO DEALER; LEARNED THERE'D BEEN A "DEALER'S TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN IN 9/08, TSB EGO42-07, IN RE DEFECTIVE PART, TO QUOTE SERVICE MGR "BAD BATCH OF ECM'S IN "SOME" 2007 TOYOTAS." DEALERS WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE INFORMED CUSTOMERS OF THIS DEFECTIVE ECM WHEN THEY BROUGHT COROLLAS IN FOR SERVICE. PLEASE NOTE THAT I HAD THIS COROLLA SERVICED AT 2 DIFFERENT TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS BETWEEN 9/08 AND 8/09, DATE OF INCIDENT, AND NEITHER INFORMED ME OF THIS TSB. MY HUSBAND AND I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IN THIS INCIDENT AND, SINCE I TRANSPORT MY 4 YR OLD NEPHEW, HE, TOO, HAD BEEN AT RISK. DEALERSHIP REP SHRUGGED ... COULD HAVE CARED LESS. THIS DEFECT SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN A MERE TSB ... THERE SHOULD HAVE BEE

TOYOTA COROLLA 2007 FREQUENTLY VEERS LEFT (WIND FROM THE RIGHT) - NEARLY OUT OF LANE WHEN A SIDE WIND HITS CAR GOING @ HIGHWAY SPEEDS - 65MPH. I THOUGHT THIS WAS JUST "NORMAL" UNTIL ALL THIS PUBLICITY OVER THE TOYOTA RECALLS, AND FIGURED I SHOULD REPORT IT. I JUST SLOW DOWN, AND HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL VERY CAREFULLY, BUT IT IS QUITE ALARMING, AND ALWAYS HAPPENS ON ONE STRETCH OF ROAD I TRAVEL WHERE THE CAR GOES FROM A WIND PROTECTED AREA TO A PLACE WHERE CROSS BREEZES TAKE PLACE. *TR

ON JULY 29, 2008 I WENT TO GET INTO MY 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA AND SMELLED GAS. I CROUCHED DOWN TO LOOK UNDER THE CAR AND NOTICED A GAS LEAK COMING FROM THE GAS LINE UNDER THE GAS TANK. I GOT UP TO WALK INTO THE GARAGE AND WHEN I CLOSED THE CAR DOOR, THE CAR EXPLODED INTO FLAMES. THE EXPLOSION PUSHED ME INTO THE GARAGE AND I WAS ABLE TO GET THE GARAGE DOOR CLOSED. THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS. AFTER LOOKING AT OTHER 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA'S IT SEEMS THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE FUEL LINE UNDER THE CAR. THE FUEL LINE IS THE SAME CONSISTENCY AS A RADIATOR HOSE AND IS THE LOWEST HANGING STRUCTURE UNDER THE CAR, WITH AN AREA THAT IS NOT PROTECTED AND COULD VERY WELL GET PUNCTURED BY NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS CAUSING A GAS LEAK IN THE FUEL LINE WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS, OBVIOUSLY, SINCE OURS EXPLODED INTO FLAMES AND BURNED SO HOT THAT IT MELTED THE TOP OF THE ENGINE. TOYOTA MAINTAINED NO BLAME IN THIS AND DID NOTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *TR

I JUST READ AN ARTICLE ON MSNBC'S ABOUT '09-10' COROLLAS HAVING DIFFICULTIES STEERING THEIR VEHICLES. MY '07 COROLLA HAS THE SAME PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I INITIALLY THOUGHT IT WAS A TIRE ISSUE, BUT I HAVE BOUGHT NEW TIRES RECENTLY AND AFTER CHECKING THE AIR PRESSURE, THE ISSUE REMAINS. IT IS WORSE DURING HIGH WINDS, AS MY CAR HAS A FEELING LIKE I WILL LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR. *TR

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA THAT IS NOT INVOLVED IN THE RECALL, BUT I EXPERIENCE JERKING ON ACCELERATION THE FIRST 1 TO 2 MILES EACH DAY. THE JERKY ACCELERATION OCCURS ON FLAT SURFACES. IT SEEMS TO ONLY HAPPEN ON COLD STARTS FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. I AM CONCERNED THAT MY ACCELERATOR OR THE ELECTRONICS MAY BE DEFECTIVE. ALSO, IT IS HARD TO CONTROL THE STEERING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR ROAMS INTO OTHER LANES EASILY. I AM CONCERNED THAT SOME PARTS ON MY VEHICLE MAY NEED TO BE RECALLED. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA WITH 55K MILES THAT ONE OF THE REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP AN WOULD NOT ROTATE. THE CAR COULD NOT BE MOVED AS THE PASSENGER REAR WHEEL BECAME LOCKED. AFTER TOWING TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY REMOVED THE REAR BRAKE DRUMS AND CLEANED DUST AND RUST FROM INSIDE THE DRUMS. LUCKILY THE REAR BRAKES DID NOT BECOME "STUCK" ON A ROADWAY WHERE THERE WAS TRAFFIC. *TR

IN MAY 21, 2009, WHEN MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING IN A 45 MPH ROAD, THE CAR SPEED SUDDENLY COULDN'T MAINTAIN AND STARTED TO DECREASE ALTHOUGH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THEN FOUND THE CAR ENGINE STALLED AND COULDN'T RESTART. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS NO OTHER CAR HIT HIS CAR WHEN THIS HAPPENED. BUT ENGINE SUDDENLY STALL WHILE DRIVING, ESPECIALLY IN A HIGHWAY COULD BE LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM, WHICH COULD BE EVEN WORSE THAN SUDDEN ACCELERATION. I HAVE READ QCSREPORT00203 REPORT REGARDING ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEMS IN TOYOTA CONSUMER COMPLAINTS TO NHTSA. IN THIS REPORT IT STATES: IT IS FREQUENTLY POSSIBLE TO DETERMINE WHETHER AN ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM IS USED IN AN ENGINE IN A SPECIFIC VEHICLE ONCE THE MAKE, THE MODEL, THE MODEL YEAR, AND THE CORRESPONDING TOYOTA ENGINE FAMILY ARE IDENTIFIED. IN 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA OWNERS' MANUAL, PAGE107, IT CLEARLY STATES: IF ENGINE SPEED DOES NOT INCREASE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS DEPRESSED, THERE MAY BE A PROBLEM SOMEWHERE IN THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM. FROM THIS STATEMENT, IT TELLS THAT TOYOTA DOES AWARE THE ENGINE SUDDEN STALL PROBLEM AND THE DEFECTIVENESS OF THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM. TOYOTA SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY ON 2007 COROLLA AS WELL. *TR

IT WAS NORMAL SUNNY DAY AND SMOOTH TRAFFIC I WAS DRIVING TOYOTA COROLLA(2007) ON I-295 NORTH IN NJ AND WAS ON LEFTMOST LANE @ AROUND 70 MPH IN HAMILTON AREA NEAR EXIT 65. THEN SUDDENLY IT WENT OUT OF CONTROL SPINNING AROUND ON HIGHWAY . IT WENT SPINNING FROM LEFT MOST LANE TO RIGHT SHOULDER SPINNING 2-3 TIMES . LUCKILY NO BODY WAS INJURED AND NO OTHER VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED BUT MY CAR HAD TO BE TOTALED I REQUESTED CAR COMPANY (TOYOTA) TO PROPERLY INSPECT THE VEHICLE IF IT HAD ANY ISSUES WITH SOFTWARE AND ALSO BRAKES AS THERE WAS NO REASON FOR SPINNING WHILE DRIVING AROUND 70MPH . CONSIDERING THE WAY CAR SPUN AT THAT TIME IT WAS EVIDENT LOCKING OF FRONT WHEELS SUDDENLY MAY BE THE ONE OF THE REASONS . COMPANY NEVER CONTACTED ME BACK AGAIN THEY HAD PROMISED TO GET BACK TO ME AFTER INSPECTION WAS DONE BY COMPANY INSPECTOR/ENGINEER. *TR

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA FOR SOME TIME NOW. WHEN I AM ON THE HIGHWAY MY CAR SWERVES BACK AND FORTH. I HAVE TO REALLY HOLD DOWN ON THE WHEEL TO GET IT TO DRIVE STRAIGHT. I WENT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT THE PROBLEM AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS SLIGHTLY UNALIGNED AND THAT THE RE ALIGNED THE STEERING. AFTER THIS THE CAR STILL HAS PROBLEMS WHEN DRIVING AND TOYOTA SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT BUT THAT'S NOT TRUE AT ALL. I HAVE HAD THREE NEAR ACCIDENTS ON THE HIGHWAY DO TO THE CAR SWERVING BUT LUCKILY NOBODY HAS BEEN HURT. I WISH THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT COULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS BECAUSE TOYOTA JUST DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE WHEN I GO TO THERE GROPPONE DEALERSHIP IN CONCORD, NH; WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR. I HOPE YOU GUYS CAN HELP ME. IT SAYS BELOW THE DATE OF INCIDENT BUT I WILL PUT MOST RECENT SINCE THERE ARE THREE INDIVIDUAL NEAR ACCIDENTS. *TR

MY 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA FEELS LIKE IT IS FLOATING WHEN I AM ON THE HIGHWAY AND DRIVING ABOVE 60 MPH. I THOUGHT IT WAS WIND OR TIRE PRESSURE BUT I CORRECTED THE TIRE PRESSURE AND IT STILL DOES THE SAME THING. IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN I GET UP TO A HIGHER SPEED AND NOT ON REGULAR ROADS OR IN THE TOWN. IT DID NOT DO THIS FOR THE FIRST YEAR AND A HALF THAT I OWNED THE CAR BUT IT HAS BEEN DOING IT REGULARLY FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS. *TR

DRIVING ON 210 FWY. GOING EAST, SPEED WAS APPROX. 70, WHEN CAR STALLED, AKA DIED. THE CAR TURNED OFF AND SLOWED DOWN, MAKING US SLAM ON HAZARDS AND BRAKES. THIS SAME PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE PAST WEEK. WE TOOK IT TO CROWN TOYOTA AND FOUND OUT THE ECU IS BAD. BUT THEY THEN PROCEED TO TELL US ITS ONLY COVERED FOR UP TO 80,000 MILES. THEY THEN PROCEED TO TELL US ITS A PROBLEM ON SOME COROLLAS, BUT NOT ALL. SO THERE IS NO RECALLS, SO WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *CN

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA I BOUGHT NEW. WITH 17,000+ MILES ON IT THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE FAILED. THIS EVENT OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON A HEAVILY TRAVELED ROAD AT 45 MPH. THE CAR'S SPEED IMMEDIATELY DROPPED TO 15 MPH. I AVOIDED ACCIDENT AND INJURY, BUT WAS HORRIFIED AT THE THOUGHT I COULD HAVE BEEN ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THE NEXT DAY I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. I FOUND IT ODD THAT THE SERVICE WRITER DIDN'T EVEN BLINK ABOUT THIS, AND THAT A NEW ENGINE CONTROL MODULE WAS READILY AVAILABLE. THE EXPERIENCE MADE ME THINK THIS MUST BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE. *TW
