2008 Toyota Corolla complaints

THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND WHEN CHECK THERE IS PROBLEM WITH CATALYTIC CONVERTER. *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN THE COUNTRY WITH MY DAUGHTER. I WAS DRIVING SLOW BECAUSE I HAD NEVER DRIVEN THAT ROAD BEFORE AND THERE WAS A SPEED LIMIT 30 AND THE 45 MPH. THERE WAS A STOP SIGN WHERE I NEEDED TO TURN RIGHT. I STARTED SLOWING DOWN BUT THE CAR WOULD COMPLETE THE STOP. SO, I TURNED RIGHT AND THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND GOT OUT OF CONTROL. IT WAS ACCELERATING AND MOVING LEFT AND RIGHT LIKE CRAZY. I TRIED TO HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL TIGHT BUT I WASN'T ABLE TO DO THAT BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF CONTROL. THE BRAKES DIDN'T WORK EITHER. THERE WERE SMALL HILLS ON THE BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD THAT'S WHY THE CAR KEPT DRIVING FROM SIDE TO SIDE. PROBABLY 3000-4000 FEET FROM THE STOP SIGN THERE WAS A BIG IRON GATE LEADING TO THE PASTURE. MY CAR KNOCKED DOWN THE WHOLE GATE AND KEPT MOVING INTO THE PASTURE. FINALLY THE CAR HIT ANOTHER POLE AND A FENCE AND STOPPED. THE CAR IS TOTALED. FORTUNATELY I DIDN'T SUFFER ANY SERIOUS INJURES EXCEPT I SUFFERED CONSTANT HEADACHES FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND MY DAUGHTER HAD LONG SCRATCHES ACROSS HER THROAT FROM A SEATBELT. THIS IS A MIRACLE THAT WE ARE ALIVE. IF IT HAD HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN REALLY BAD. TWO OF OUR CHURCH MEMBERS DROVE 2 MINUTES AFTER ME SO THAT I RECEIVED HELP FROM THEM. THEY DIDN'T WITNESS THE CRASH BUT THEY SAW WHERE IT HAPPENED, HOW THE PLACE OF ACCIDENT LOOKED LIKE, AND LONG MARKS THAT MY CAR LEFT ON THE SIDES OF THE ROAD. ALSO, I GOT A POLICE REPORT WHERE IT SAYS THAT THE DRIVER DIDN'T DO ANYTHING IMPROPER AND THERE IS

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 65MPH THE CAR SUDDENLY TURNED COMPLETELY OFF. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO POWER, NO POWER BRAKES,STEERING ,ALL THE GAUGES LOOKED AS IF THE CAR HAD NOT BEEN STARTED. IT RESTARTED BY ITSELF AFTER ABOUT 15 SECONDS WHICH WAS A GOOD THING AS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER THE CAR FROM THE MIDDLE LANE TO THE SHOULDER IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WITH VERY LIMITED STEERING AND BRAKE AND DECELERATING RAPIDLY. *TR

SINCE, I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW IT WOULD MAKE NOISE RATTLE LIKE SOMETHING WAS LOOSE. EVERY TIME I WOULD TAKE THE VEHICLE IN THEY WOULD KEEP IT THE WHOLE DAY FOR DAYS AND I WAS WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION. THEY REFUSED TO LEND ME A VEHICLE. AND AT THE END STATED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. MAKING IT LOOK LIKE I WAS HEARING THINGS. THE 2ND ISSUE IS WHEN I PUT IN REVERSE FOR EXAMPLE I WANT TO PARALLEL PARK AND PUT IT IN REVERSE IT GETS STUCK AND REVERSES SUPER FAST. WHEN I TOOK BACK THEY SAID THEY HEARD IT THEN THEY DID NOT. NOW THE REVERSE PART AND RATTLE NOISE IS WORSE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING AND I GO IN TO LEAVE THE CAR TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES BUT ON THE PAPER THEY WOULD ALWAYS CHANGE THE COMPLAINT TO A NEW ONE. THIS IS WHAT HAS HAPPENED SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. AT FIRST THEY WERE NICE BUT ONCE I WAS OUT THEY WERE HELPLESS. THEN I HAD TO RETURN VARIOUS TIMES FOR A LETTER I GOT IN THE MAIL THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ON "RECALL". EVER SINCE BUYING A BRAND NEW CAR FROM TOYOTA HAS BEEN A BAD EXPERIENCE BECAUSE I WAS WITH A NEW CAR BUT WITH THE CONDITIONS OF A USED CAR. AND TO TOP IT OFF THEY CHARGE ME TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. SADLY TO SAY THESE PEOPLE DON'T CAR ONCE THEY GET YOU HOOKED ON THE CAR. ONCE YOU'RE OUT YOUR ALONE AND THEY WON'T BACK UP THEIR VEHICLES. AND ANOTHER ISSUE THE BATTERIES DIED FAST AND I HAD TO PAY FOR A NEW ONE. AND SINCE THEY KNOW ONE NEEDS A CAR THEIR IS NOTHING TO DO BUT TO SUCK IT UP THIS SUCKS!! WARNING!! *TR

I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING SINCE NOVEMBER 2012 TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ABOUT WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE FEELS LIKE ACCELERATOR PEDAL GETS STUCK AND VEHICLE KEEPS ACCELERATING WITHOUT FOOT ON PEDAL.

IN 2010 , ENGINE LIGHT STARTED TO COME ON AND OFF, I WENT TO TOYOTA, WAS TOLD THE LIGHT HAD TO BE ON AT THE TIME FOR PROPER DIAGNOSIS AT A FEE. I HAVE ALSO GONE TO OTHER SERVICE LOCATIONS FOR A SECOND OPINION AND WAS TOLD, AFTER A COMPLIMENTARY DIAGNOSIS, THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY THE THROTTLE. RECENTLY, I RECEIVED A NOTICE OF A CIVIL LAWSUIT FROM OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS WITH MY VIN NUMBER ( LAST 4 DIGITS) DUE TO A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE THAT HAS CAUSED CAR CRASHES DUE INVOLUNTARY ACCELERATION. I HAVE CALLED A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER IN HOLLYWOOD, FL ON TAFT STREET AND 441, SPOKE WITH AN EMPLOYEE WHO CONFIRMED THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE DEFECTIVE THROTTLE AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT TO BRING THE CAR IN FOR ADJUSTMENT AT NO COST.

AFTER 2 HOURS OF WAITING, HE REITERATED THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR MY CAR, ADVISED THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH ECM AT A FEE OF $180.00 PLUS $3 - $4K FOR TRANSMISSION AND AN EXTENDED LIST OF OTHER PROBLEMS TO REPAIR. I HAVE JUST CHECKED SITE AND SEE ENGINE RECALL REFLECTED FOR TOYOTA COROLLAS YEAR 2003-2008, AND AM REACHING OUT TO YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE.

I HAD MY TOYOTA COROLLA 08 SERVICED ON 4/5/11 DUE TO A RECALL FOR THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE. AFTER THE TOYOTA DEALER LOOKED AT THEY DETERMINED IT DID NOT NEED TO BE REPLACED ACCORDING TO "LOT #7238" AND ON 8-21-2012 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 55 MPH WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE VEHICLE'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM JUST CUT OFF. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO CARS IN FRONT OF HER AT A DISTANCE AND IT STARTED TO SLOW DOWN UNTIL SHE WAS ABLE TO CONTROL IT AND MANAGE TO PARK AT THE MEDIAN. SHE SAID THAT THE BREAKS DID NOT WORK AND THE POWER STEERING DID NOT WORK. SHE WAS TERRIFIED AT THAT MOMENT AND FEARED FOR HER LIFE. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THEY JUST TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL AND IT SHOULD BE FIXED IMMEDIATELY. I ASKED THE REPRESENTATIVE WHY THIS RECALL WAS NOT TAKEN CARE OF THE FIRST TIME I WENT TO THE DEALER. HE HAD TOLD ME THAT AT THAT TIME IT WAS NOT NECESSARY TO CHANGE THE PART WHICH AFFECTED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. WELL THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE WASTED MY TIME, BUT LOOKING BACK THEY WERE NEGLIGENT ON THEIR PART. I COULD HAVE LOST MY LOVED ONE OR ONE OF MY BELOVED CHILDREN WHICH COULD HAVE DEVASTATING FOR ME. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, A STRAP ON THE FUEL TANK AND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER HEAT SHIELD BOTH, SIMULTANEOUSLY, BECAME LOOSE AND BEGAN RATTLING TERRIBLY. I CONTINUED DRIVING THE CAR IN ORDER TO GET HOME, A DISTANCE OF ABOUT 200 MILES, WITH THE LOUD NOISE CONTINUING THROUGHOUT.

I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SHOWED ME THAT THE STRAP AND THE SHIELD WERE BOTH LOOSE BECAUSE BOLTS HOLDING THEM IN PLACE HAD RUSTED THROUGH. THIS CAR IS NOT OLD NOR IS IT DRIVEN VERY MANY MILES. THE DEALER REPLACED THE STRAP AND THE SHIELD AT A COST OF $476. *TR

I HIT THE BRAKES AND THE ACCELERATION STOPPED. OPERATION THEN SEEMED NORMAL. AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF THOUGHT, I DECIDED TO (CAUTIOUSLY) CHECK THE CRUISE CONTROL AGAIN.

MY DAUGHTER HAD A FRONTAL COLLISION WHILE DRIVING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. OUR 2008 TOYOTA COROLLA S STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE ON ITS FRONT LEFT FENDER. OUR 2008 COROLLA SUSTAINED MAJOR FRONTAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING THE DISINTEGRATION OF THE BUMPER, DAMAGE TO THE HOOD, BOTH FENDERS, RADIATOR, ETC. THE FRONT STABILIZER BAR WAS RIPPED OFF THE CHASSIS.

THE GM OF THE DEALERSHIP & GM OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR INSPECTION & TO HAVE A TOYOTA CORP. REP. LOOK AT THE CAR TO DETERMINE WHY THE FRONT AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE DEALERSHIP ATTEMPTED TO TELL US THAT THE AIRBAGS SHOULD ONLY DEPLOY DURING A FRONT IMPACT, BUT THE CAR DID IN FACT SUSTAIN HEAVY DAMAGES DO TO THE IMPACT BUT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE IMPACT WAS SO GREAT THAT THE STEEL STABILIZER BAR WAS COMPLETELY RIPPED OFF. THAT ALONE SHOULD HAVE TRIGGERED THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY NOT DRIVABLE DUE TO THE NUMEROUS DAMAGE SUSTAINED TO THE FRONT END, MOTOR, RADIATOR & OTHER PARTS. WE ARE WAITING TO HEAR FROM THE DEALER, MY INSURANCE ADJUSTER & TOYOTA TO FIND OUT WHY THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE DID NOT WORK AS IT WAS DESIGNED TO. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2008 TOYOTA COROLLA LE AT 55 MPH, I ENCOUNTERED A DEER AND WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION WITH THE ANIMAL, ON SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 19TH, 2011. THE COLLISION TOTALED THE VEHICLE, RESULTING IN NEARLY 11K DOLLARS IN DAMAGE. THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG DURING THE ACCIDENT BECAME DISLODGED FROM THE STEERING WHEEL, AND FELL OUT INTO MY LAP. THE TWO TORQUE SCREWS USED TO HOLD IT IN THE STEERING WHEEL ASSEMBLY FAILED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO TOYOTA'S COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT AND FILED A FORMAL GRIEVANCE.

I BOUGHT A 2008 TOYOTA COROLLA CE BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALER. ONLY A FEW MONTHS AFTER, I STARTED HEARING A VERY LOUD CLUNKING SOUND IN THE BRAKES WHEN I BACKUP AND BRAKE AND THEN WHEN I PULL FORWARD AND BRAKE. IT IS AN ALARMING SOUND SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER IT WAS PURCHASED FROM AT LEAST THREE TIMES SINCE AND THEY SAY IT'S THE BRAKE PADS SLIDING WHEN I BRAKE. THEY SAY THE ONLY THING THEY CAN DO FOR ME IS GREASE THEM, WHICH THEY HAVE DONE EACH TIME BUT IT KEEPS RETURNING. I CALLED ANOTHER TOYOTA DEALER TO INQUIRE ABOUT IT AND THEY TOLD ME THE SAME THING. I RECENTLY STARTED SEARCHING TO SEE IF I AM THE ONLY ONE THAT COMPLAINS OF THIS PROBLEM AND APPARENTLY I AM NOT!! SHOULDN'T TOYOTA HAVE SOME KIND OF A FIX FOR THIS BY NOW? PLEASE HELP I CANNOT EVEN SELL THE CAR BECAUSE EVERYONE THINKS THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT. *TR
