2005 TOYOTA Corolla

Airbag light on dashboard will not go off

Airbag light on dashboard will not go off

Since 4-2-12, my Toyota has stalled out four times on the freeways during heavy traffic, three times almost causing major accidents. I took car to Redlands Toyota and they put in a new ECM module that had been a recall part. They stated that would fix the problem. On 4-5-12 the car stalled out a second time on the freeway. Toyota suggested having transmission fluid exchange. I had that done. Also recommended fuel injection service as also helpful for this stalling out problem. I had it done. The car stalled out a third time and Toyota said it needed a new catalytic converter. That was ordered and put in on 5-15-12.Car stalled out again and Toyota said it needed a mass air filter. I had that done on 5- 18-12. Car stalled out again on 6-26-12. Toyota started the run around with me service manager and dealership manager would not take repeated calls and when I did reach service manager he promised to research it and call me back two times which he never did. Service manager said they can’t get the car to stall for them so there is nothing they can do. Customer service manager ran interference for the two managers i needed to talk with. I called corporate in New York and a very rude rep. said if the dealership can’t duplicate the problem there is nothing more to expect from Toyota.I could have caused a major accident each time this has happened. I could have been killed, along with my daughter and possibly other innocent drivers. This is a huge safety issue and an accident still waiting to happen. I am a senior citizen and can not afford another car at this time. Toyota claims that they are not aware of this happening before to others. I went on the internet and put in 2005 Toyota Corollas stalling out and the problems similar to mine are abundant. I am desperate for help with this very dangerous problem. Thank you.

When airconditioning/defrost systems engages there is an accompanying increase in engine rpm which causes the car to move unless in park or neutral even with light brake pedal pressure. This can lead to confusion and a potential accident situation.

Well, here I am asking for legal advice; the last place I wanted this situation to go. I have already filed a complaint with the NHTSA, the BBB (closed but unresolved), and wrote letters to Toyota’s CEO, Toyota Technical Center USA, my local Toyota dealership, and Toyota International Headquarters, resulting in a response from the dealership (they couldn’t do anything for me) and two phone conversations with Toyota International that left the problem unresolved.

So, I’m writing to you in regards to what I believe is a serious defect or programming error with my car, a 2005 Toyota Corolla XRS. Chances are you’ve never heard of this car, because this specific model was only made in 2005-2006; roughly 6600 or so total if I remember correctly.

Specifically, my car has an engine named the “2zz-ge”, a higher performance engine that has been placed in such cars as the Toyota Celica GTS, Matrix XRS, Lotus Elise, and lastly, the first generation Corolla XRS. This engine is unique due a cam-switching mechanism known as “lift” that toggles between two cam lobes when a certain RPM has been reached. This, coupled with an 8200 RPM redline, makes for a fun car to drive in the summer. Yet, in slick conditions or with gravel on the road the situation changes immensely due to the way the engine was programmed.

According to my research, every generation of the 2zz-ge has seen the ‘lift’ point programmed to engage at a higher and higher RPM; and for no obvious reason. In the Corolla XRS, “lift” engages somewhere between 6600-6800RPM. This results in a large change in torque and horsepower (in contrast to placing the lift point at a lower RPM). To demonstrate this, I have some pictures of dynamometer read-outs of the Corolla XRS engine’s power curve from the car enthusiast forum www.9thgencorolla.com that shows this 30-40 horsepower jump:

http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/4716/dyno1xr5.jpg (before and after pictures of an individual who smoothed out his/her power curve using engine management hardware/software)

With winter arriving here in Iowa, I frequently need to be careful with how much throttle I give the car. Too much throttle and the sudden jump in torque and horsepower due to lift cause a loss in traction that is unnerving. Not only that, but the engine’s computer removes ‘lift’ until the engine has warmed up to some arbitrary temperature- leaving me without forewarning.

So, my question is: is there any legal precedence for holding a company responsible for producing an engine that has a nearly instantaneously power jump as I have shown? As an exaggeration, I assume a car of this size with an engine that jumps 100 hp would be unsafe and nearly undriveable, but where is the line drawn? I hold that a company has a responsibility, especially if they are able, to program an engine so that it safely delivers power. This would result in much safer and predictable handling and traction; especially in slippery road conditions. To date, I have never before seen an engines dynamometer readout that has had this kind of power jump.

Aside from all this, I am also a member of the online forum www.9thgencorolla.com. There are additional members there who own this same model car, and are also concerned about the location of this “lift” point.

I have tried my best to resolve this problem through Toyotas customer service center and through a Better Business Bureau Complaint, but the only response Im getting is nothing is wrong, nothing can be done. This is my last step, and Im looking for legal advice to see if I have a case, or if Im stuck with selling the vehicle or violating my warranty by purchasing expensive engine management software and changing the power curve myself.

Toyota has designed an acclerator / engine idle speed system, which is partly driven by the temperature control system. My vehicle will \’surge\’ high enough to override my normal braking pressure while stopped in traffic. Thousands of times I have had the car override my braking pressure and move me forward toward other vehicles and pedestrians, in a manner that if I didn\’t apply even more braking, I would undoubtedly hit that person or vehicle.Toyota responded to my requests to replace or repair this problem with the following excerpt; \"When the air compressor is activated, it places a \’load\’ on the engine. In order to accomodate this load, the engine \’idles-up\’ or, in other words, the engine rpms increase. This is a normal operating condition of the vehicle.\"I am a 26 year veteran police officer and former truck driver. I also spent six years in charge of a police unit tasked with investigating fatal collisions. I have driven hundreds of different cars and trucks in my lifetime and have never encountered an engine \’surge\’ that would override my static braking pressure. Toyota is simply covering their \’tail\’ on this matter and they know this surge is a serious problem. The letter I received came from their lawyers of course. I only hope that an organization like yours can create the complaint momentum needed to force Toyota to fix this problem before people are injured or killed in collisions. Regards, Gerry Pyke,

Frost on INSIDE of entire rear window. On first visit for this problem it was found that the rear window was not sealed properly. However, the problem continued after the seal was redone and the second time I was told it was caused by the floor mats being too wet and causing humidity to build up inside the car. I was also told that this is supposed to be normal for the Corolla and there is nothing they can do to fix it.

August 2005: Front wheel was smoking and in flame. Tech 1st attempt to fix it included resurfacing the rotor and changing the brake pads and adjusted push rod. But it didn\’t work, so they had to call TechLine and changed my caliper and bled the brake lines.October 2005: Same problem as August, hope changing the Propelling Value System would work this time.Major Safety Defect twice already. Front right wheel burning and smoking.

2004 Toyota Corolla, close to 5,000 miles. Purchased in July ’03. When I run the heat inside the car, a very strong sulfur odor is emitted through the vents. Was told it was the gas, not the car, by both dealer and Toyota customer service. I do not get this smell in any other car I ride in, including the ’96 Corolla I traded in. I followed their advice on using gas from different stations, but the odor occurs regardless. I am extremely concerned that the smell is sulfur oxide being released into the car interior, which is a serious health concern that Toyota seems to refuse to take an interest in.

MY CAR SUDDENLY DECELERATED FROM 45MPH TO 5 MPH WHILE MY FOOT WAS STILL PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR TRYING TO MAINTAIN MY SPEED , BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT RESPOND AND ONLY WENT 5MPH. THIS WAS A SCAREY MOMENT AND IS CERTAINLY A SAFETY ISSUE. THE " CHECK ENGINE " LIGHT WENT ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO TOYOTA OF HOLLYWOOD , FL. AND THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY CONTROL ASSEMBLY AT A COST OF $1016.66. TOYOTA SERVICE DEPT. TOLD ME THIS WAS A COMPUTER COMPONENT PROBLEM. IF THIS EVENTUALLY BECAOMES AN OFFICIAL RECALL I’D LIKE TO GET MY MONEY BACK. THE INVOICE NUMBER FOR MY REPAIR IS : TOCS882951 DATE : 7/7/09

In January 12, 2007 I purchased a 2005 Toyota Corolla, VIN INXBR32E45Z429307, from a used car dealer. The mileage was 59519. Shortly after I purchased the car I registered my name and VIN with the official Toyota owners’ web site, www.toyotaownersonline.com On January 17, 2007 I went to the Toyota of Carlsbad dealership in Carlsbad, CA to purchase a second ignition key and they entered my car and me into their computer system. I know this because since that time they have sent me numerous coupons and invitations to return for service of my car. The mileage was 59771. On August 11, 2008 I began to experience transmission slippage and a “check engine” warning light appeared on the instrument panel. The mileage at this time was 75419. I took the car to Transmasters Transmissions, an independent transmission repair garage in Encinitas, CA. Rick, the owner, decoded the “check engine” code as P0741. He did a routine check for any applicable Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs), but found none. He diagnosed the problem as a disintegrated planatary gear and rebuilt the transmission at a cost of $3397.73. On September 22, 2008, I began to experience slippage again and the “check engine” light also reappeared. The mileage was 76618. I took the car back to Transmasters and Rick repaired the Transmission a second time at no charge under his 1-year warranty. On March 26, 2009, the Transmission began slipping and the “check engine” light appeared yet again. I took the car back to Transmasters and Rick performed a third repair under his warranty. The mileage was 81429. By this time Rick had updated his TSB search software and discovered that there was a TSB dating from 2004 regarding this model and VIN. The TSB indicated that some 2005 models “may exhibit M.I.L ‘ON’ with DTC P0741.” In English this means that sometimes the Engine Control Module (ECU) sends the wrong instruction to the Torque Converter causing it to lock in the “ON” position. This in turn causes the Torque Converter and Transmission to overheat, which can lead to failure. The TSB recommends replacing the Speed Sensor, the ECU, the Transaxle Assembly and the Torque Converter Clutch Assembly, as needed. The Speed Sensor, Transaxle and Torque Converter Clutch Assembly are covered under warranty up to 60000 miles and the ECU is covered up to 80000 miles. Rick informed me that according to the TSB the failures of the Transmission and Torque Converter were due to the faulty ECU and a mismatched Speed Sensor and that these failures would continue until those units were replaced. I confirmed this diagnosis by getting a second opinion from another independent transmission shop. On April 6, 2009 I took the car to Toyota of Carlsbad and requested that since I had documentation that the “P0741” problem had occurred at 76514 miles, the ECU should be replaced under the warranty. The Service Manager offered me a free report of the ECU history, which would indicate what had happened to the Transmission, but refused to honor the warranty since the mileage of the car was at that time 81758 miles. This report confirmed that “Numbers on the engine control unit and transmission they (sic) are both not current.” On May 14, 2009 Rick at Transmasters replaced the ECU at a cost of $725.21. Since that repair the transmission has performed normally.I am now out of pocket $4122.94 for a Transmission failure that according to the two Transmission experts was likely caused by a factory defect in the ECU and Speed Sensor. I was registered at both the Toyota owners’ website and at Toyota of Carlsbad as the owner of a car for which there was a known defect covered by a TSB. Either of them could have easily informed me of the problem in a timely manner so that I could get the repairs done under warranty and before my transmission failed three times within seven months. Interestingly, the TSB states “Warranty application is limited to correction of a problem based upon a customer’s specific complaint.” This constitutes a “Catch-22” since customers don’t have the information to complain until something goes wrong with the transmission and by then it’s too late. This would seem to indicate a Toyota policy to keep their customers in the dark in order to save money on warranty repairs of factory defects.

– Engine died in 2007 or 2008 only warning temperature guage was high. No engine warning light. Under warranty, no charge for repair. Car had excellent maintenance record with the dealer. – ECM died while traveling on HWY 29 without any warning in 2009. Nearly rear ended. Under warranty no charge. -Noticed all 4 wheels of car rusting in 2008. I didn’t know if this is normal wear & tear, so I never had it looked at nor has anyone ever said this was not normal, even asked husband and he said it was normal (maybe not). I am having someone look at this this weekend after hearing all of the rust problems with Toyota. What next? Don’t have grounds for a class action but I am considering small claims when Toyota indicated I had a bad Fuel Pump and did not want confess that the ECM was bad after having 3 mechanics indicate it was the ECM and had me repair the fuel pump instead (not under warranty). After putting in a brand new fuel Pump another Toyota verified it was the ECM.

Car appeared to be running fine. went to get a smog, " check engine" light on, as a result i failed smog. code revealed was po741( torque converter clutch circuit performance or stuck off) upon vehicle inspection from canal transmission in el cajon, ca. owner revealed that he had come across this problem about 10 times with toyota corollas. he revealed that each time he tried to fix torque converter, check engine light would still remain with same code after repair. he said they finally realized that it was an ecm issue and not a transmission problem. in 2010 toyota did a recall on ecm. so what do i do? code is preventing me from getting a smog, yet when repair of torque converter attempted check engine code po741 still remains. i contacted dealer regarding code, they scanned car, the same code appeared. all they offered was 400 to tear into transmission to see if they could find issue. so in closing , we have a check engine light revealing code p0741; that when repairs attempted ,repair cant seem to be fixed satisfactorily to clear the light, because through experience of transmission shop it is a faulty code and the real problem lies within the ecm, which was supposedly fixed during toyota recall. so what do i do? i need my car smogged to drive.what other problems will the ecm create in the future? toyota needs to recall ecm again for this specific problem and other problems that may be created due to the fault y ecm.

Torque converter clutch solenoid performance. my 18 old daughter just purchased this car from this man who had reset the car so the check engine light would go off. after us driving it home and server miles later it went off. he said he had flushed the transmission oil and that his mechanic had told him to just reset it and it would be fine obviously it was not fine. we took it to our mechanic who is a very honest mechanic had stated that there's nothing wrong with the vehicle . he pulled up some recalls and indicated that there was a recall done on models 04305 corolla unfortunately the vin numbers were 1zz -fe. i'm calling the dealerships and all they can tell me is that this may have been an expired recall on my vehicle therefore it's no longer under the warranty of the recall . they're not telling me that there was a recall on this they're just saying that there is no recall on this particular vin number . with all the research i have done i've seen a lot of this issue has arrived with other vin numbers but no recall has been open . at this point i'm not even too sure what to do other than get a new transmission or rebuilt this transmission.

The vehicle started showing the "check engine light" and the error code shown was p0741. the error code suggests issue with the transmission clutch converter solenoid. this issues seems to be common on the 2005 corolla and could be a safety issue if the transmission dies immediately while driving on a freeway or high-speed road.

My car is black color, and its paint starts peeling. the most severe spot is on the top of the roof.

The car shuts down and stops without warning. i have taken it to toyota 2 x this month and still not fixed. it was just towed again today. this seems to happen once the car is driven for awhile and gets warmed up. when it sits for awhile it will start again. i noticed that toyota recalled some 2005 corollas for ecm replacement but i have never received a recall. my research seems to indicate this car is having ecm problems. toyota has already replaced fuel regulator sensor( 1st time) and oxygen sensor (2nd time) but as stated above it happened again 3 days after second repair. my 17 yr old grand daughter drives this car. i believe it is the emc and should have been part of the recall. this is deadly. the car just stops. imagine driving across a bridge 65 mile an hour and your car stops no power no acceleration and you think your car has been fixed by certified toyota mechanic. if on a hill you cannot even get off the road. help!!! once she was on a street and once on highway.

Tamara recall

It took way too long for the dealership to get the parts and call us for the repair, especially considering the magnitude of this safety issue. i was nervous for my family's safety.

Takata recall my son hit by inflated driver side air bag on 18th dec2014 at university of houston resulted due to passenger side tire hit the curb right side of road curb . this may happen due to passenger side front tire blew after hitting the curb ( guess) because car passenger end strut touched the curb and got damaged . it also damaged the fire wall . the car was with normal in campus speed 25 mph . tires were new & had replaced just three months before accident . police called 911 & he has been transported to st. joseph hospital , downtown - houston due to sever injuries due to air bag inflate . i was shocked due to deep cut on his forehead , few facial cuts & fractured nose . i called toyota customer center in first week on jan 2015 to inform about air bag injury & investigate probable cause , but they denied and told me such injury can take place due air bag impact . my intention was to avoid such injuries to all others but no positive response i received from toyota . in 1st week of july 2017 , i received the notice about recall of air bag at my previous resident address . after reading the notice , i got shocked because of toyota's stand in 2015 . i called toyota & asked them to investigate the matter but the case manger informed that the recall is associated with passenger side air bag & nothing to do driver side air bag . attached case number & letter for your reference . i haven't heard back from them , need to resolve the issue . car is still running without driver end air bag .

Takata recall- we received the notice for the recall and called our local toyota dealer. they informed us that we would be contacted when parts came in. a few months later, we received a notice indicating that parts had been manufactured for our location. we called again and were told that they didn't have the parts and that a supervisor would call us back. we never received a call back. we called back again a few months later and were told the same exact thing, including that we would get a call back from the supervisor. we received no call back. we called one last time (after battling with this for over a year), and were told the exact same thing. we even said, "can you please make sure he actually calls us back this time? we have been promised many calls back before and never gotten them." well, no call back! in the meantime, we have to avoid traveling with passengers which is a massive inconvenience, especially with two busy children. we had this same recall with our honda and it was completely solved within 6 months.

I have been a big proponent of cooper tires due to their manufacturing processes. i've since changed my mind due to the 3 blow outs we've had with the cs4 touring (2) and now most recent cs5 grand touring line. the cs5 tires were purchased less than a year ago. all have been on the sidewall and all have been on the freeway going at highway speeds. it appears cooper tires does not care about people lives! obviously quality is not one of their core values. try being in traffic on the freeway and having a blow out those are the consequences. fortunately nobody was hurt just extremely scared. i will be taking the tires back to express tires to see what kind of support they will provide. btw only option to select is cs4 touring but these are the cs5 grand touring. same problem built into the newer model.

Takata recall my engine light is on i was told they have a recall in 2010 on toyota corolla but i didn't have the car at that time am i still eligible to get that fix for free

I am being told that my car is not drivable and that it can be repaired at no cost to me but i am being told that i must drive it to a toyota dealership on a later date . which basically means i have to risk my life until then . i am then being told i won't get a loan vehicle. and that i won't be reimbursed for the expense of bringing the car to the dealership . i am being forced to miss work because i don't have a vehicle now . which is all costing me a lot of money for something that was supposed to be at no cost to me.

Tl* the contact owned a 2005 toyota corolla. the contact called on behalf of her son the driver, whom was driving at 50 mph when another vehicle veered into his lane causing him to swerve, losing control and crashing into a guard rail head on. the contact stated that the air bags failed to deploy. the contact mentioned that the vehicle was previously serviced under an air bag recall on february 2, 2017. the vehicle was not taken back to the dealer for failure diagnosis as the vehicle was deemed a total loss and towed to a tow lot. the manufacturer was contacted and a case was opened. the contact stated that she believed the recall was for the passenger’s air bag. the contact stated that the driver sustained injuries to his right eye, mouth and forehead that required medical attention as he was transported to the hospital by ambulance. the state police was present. the failure mileage was 169,000. *ln*dt*jb*jb

The vehicle was bought in usa in 2004, and was legally transferred to another country in 2010. the recalls were not received in time to take action and fix the car in usa. the other country does not have the “know how” to fix what is stated in the recalls (takata airbag recall and a engine control module recall). can you stop sending safety recalls in usa and redirect them to the other country? can you provide the “know how” to the new country to fix the car? toyota has offices and repair stores in the new country. the vehicle is not registered in usa dmv since 2010, but it is in the new country¢s dmv. *tr

Nhtsa recall no. 19v-741: i received a letter from toyota regarding this recall. i'm attaching copies of the letter, on which i wrote notes of my conversations with toyota and with the dealership. i highlighted in yellow some information i believe is relevant to my complaint. hall toyota of elizabeth city is the nearest dealership to me, and is almost 2 hours drive away (about 90 miles). the recall notice from toyota states, "if you are uncomfortable driving the vehicle to the dealership, please contact your local authorized toyota dealer who will arrange for vehicle pick up." the dealership assigned me an advisor, russ, who said i needed to call toyota to have them open a case and give me a case number. russ said toyota would then call the dealership and they would work out arrangements to pick up my vehicle. i called toyota and spoke with someone named rafael, who gave me a case number (2002102338), but said the dealership was responsible for the towing charge. he said toyota was not going to call the dealership, and that i needed to call the dealership to arrange towing. i called russ at the dealership, who said his supervisor was talking to toyota and he would call me later. the next day, after not hearing back, i called russ, who said his supervisor had not yet heard back from toyota, and the supervisor would call me when he had information from toyota. later that day russ called me to say toyota agreed to cover $120 of the towing charge, which russ said would run around $500 to $550. the dealership would not pay the difference, so i would need to pay the rest myself. this seems contrary to what is stated in toyota's letter. rafael at toyota stated they absolutely were not recommending i drive 2 hours to the dealership. i seem to be left with no good option. i'm obviously uncomfortable driving to the dealership, but i shouldn't need to pay $400+.

On february 4, 2020, i took my toyota corolla to jim norton toyota of okc, 8401 nw expressway,oklahoma city, ok 73162, (405) 721-1911, for a safety recall. they did work on my car. they said that they did replace the air bag, but it would not work if i was in an accident. the air bag light is on, indicating that the wire related to it needed to be replaced. they said the cost of doing the wire replacement is not covered by the recall. it would cost about $700.00 to have the wire replaced. it seems that the wire replacement should have been done with the original bag replacement since it won't work without it. am i required to pay the $700.00 to get the airbag in proper working order? the recall notice says that the remedy for the safety recall will be performed free of charge to me.

Last week while i was driving my car the airbag light came on. i was so worried for my safety to drive my car. i went online to search if my car had a airbag recall and it did. i made an appointment with the toyota dealership to do the repair. while i was waiting there they told me that my car had another problem, i was supposed to replace the spiral cable (code b1811). if i didn’t replace that the airbag light was still going to be there and the airbag wasn’t going to work if i replace them . the horn on my car hasn’t been working for so many years and i didn’t know that was connected with the spiral cable assembly. i paid $510.22 to replace that. i’m the only owner for that car. toyota company should have a recall for the spiral cable because it is connected to the airbag and we as a customer should not pay for replacement.my car had 11 recalls so far. other toyota’s have recalls for the same problem but not with 2005 year old toyota’s.

The 2005 corolla was slowed down for traffic ahead on the highway and rear ended by a driver, who then collided with another car. after being rear ended the 2005 corolla then hit another car. the air bag as deployed and the driver (the only person in the car ) was not alive when first responders arrived. the at fault driver then rear ended another driver (who survived). unknown fault or problem that caused the unsafe condition. we received a noticed months later of a recall of front passenger air bag.*dt *dt*jb medical examiner report case number xxxx xxxxx stamp (“parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).”)*jb

Tl* takata recall. the contact owns a 2005 toyota corolla. while driving various speeds, the air bag warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle was taken to golling toyota of warren (27100 van dyke ave, warren, mi 48093, (586) 758-2000) where it was diagnosed that the air bag assembly needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred multiple times. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the vin was not included in a recall. the manufacturer provided case number: 1912183106. the failure mileage was approximately 187,736.

Air bag light on drivers side faulty switch in steering colum!!

The airbag warning light came on when i started the car and stayed on. i contacted the dealer and found out that my vehicle was under recall for the airbag. i took it in and had that repair done, but the warning light did not go off. the dealer said it needs a new spiral cable assembly, at a cost of nearly $500. the dealer said the airbag may not inflate during a crash. in searching the internet for information about this repair, i discovered that other toyotas are under recall for this same problem. i would like my vehicle to be considered for inclusion in this recall and the cost of repair covered.

Drivers side airbag warning light is on.

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 toyota corolla. while driving, the air bag warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the air bag indicator was repaired, but the failure recurred. the contact was concerned that the air bags may not deploy in the event of a crash. the vehicle was taken to dublin toyota (4321 toyota dr, dublin, ca 94568, (925) 829-7700) where it was diagnosed with code: b1811 (srs). the dealer stated that the spiral cable needed to be replaced and rechecked. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 158,000.

I have a manual transmission and at random times while i am driving and in motion, i'll push in the clutch to brake or coast, the rpms go down until the engine shuts off, and the steering wheel goes hard. the headlights and dash lights still work, in fact all the dashboard lights, like the check engine and maintenance required lights, actually come on (just like when you're key ignition is in the "on" position but you haven't started the engine yet). the car starts right back up when i turn the ignition or pop the clutch while in gear. this has been happening about once every week ever since i bought the car over 4 years ago. within the past couple of months at random times when trying to start my car my car (stationary), the engine will turn over but won't start on first try. on second try i will turn the ignition and pump the gas pedal and after a few seconds it will start up and run perfectly fine. i've read about the recall of the ecm for my make, model, and year, but when i search my vin it comes back with no current recalls. within the first year of owning the vehicle (purchased from private party in august of 2015), i learned of the airbag recall and took in and got it fixed, but a couple of months ago, about 2.5 years after taking it in for the recall, my srs light came on as well. the check engine light is not illuminated and everything else is functioning properly, but i am a little worried about safety especially now that the srs light has come on. on multiple occasions i have been surprised by the engine shut off while trying to make a turn, which very easily could have caused an accident, and now if i do get in an accident and the airbag system fails, then i could be injured even more severely or die. i'm a college student on a very tight budget, otherwise i would've just seen a mechanic by now. i thought i'd try filing a complaint first.

I was in a rear end accident and hit someone at 35 mph - none of my airbags opened.

My engine control module stopped working. maintenance control lights have been on, even when no repairs were needed.

Nothing happened when i notified my dealer in medford oregon last year. i called and asked to be notified when they received replacement airbags neccause when i called to get the recall taken care of, they said they were out of stock.. i have not heard back and am still waiting. please ask the toyota dealer to call me.

As i was pulling into a parking lot i began to step on the brakes and the car would not stop. i had no choice but to crash into a wall causing a major injuries to my body and car. the car would no longer start and i had to tow the car to my home until a mechanic came to start the car and we had noticed that when the car is in park it will keep going.

I have been trying to get my airbags on my corolla for several months, but toyota of slidell doesn't make a replacement car available. they keep telling me they have to see what will be available in the morning!!! really??? you are a freaking car lot!!

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

In 2011 the ecm (engine control module) was replaced in my 2005 corolla as part of a national safety recall aoj. in just under 5 years and 22k miles later the replaced ecm started demonstrating failing symptoms, including malfunctioning tachometer, engine temperature gauge, and a/c malfunctions. other toyota owners have experienced this same issue on their replaced ecms. based on information available for the original recall, the original ecm issue relates to poor soldering joints within the ecm. the issue with the replaced ecms is likely the same, although the affected elements within the ecm may differ from owner to owner. i contacted toyota and asked to be reimbursed for my cost to replace the 2nd ecm but they refused. i also requested to send in the faulty replaced ecm for diagnosis and analysis, referencing the original safety recall and how the replaced ecm may have the same underlying soldering issues but toyota refused this course of action. i created a video demonstrating the issue - you can see it on youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsl8gynzsmk (or search yotube for "2005 corolla tachometer ecm issue" if the previous link doesn't work).

Takata recall. i received a "preliminary notice" months ago, telling me not to have any front-seat passengers in my car, and that i would be contacted again when the part was ready. last week i finally received an "urgent recall notice." i called today to schedule the appointment and was told they still don't have the part in and that someone would contact me. this is ridiculous. i essentially have half a car, and toyota is doing nothing about it.

(made a appointment on the website with one dealership on (6-2-16) for work to be done on (6-11-16) found out that day the part still needs to be ordered.) nowhere in the remedy notice informed me the part still need to be ordered. it said "toyota has completed parts preparation for my vehicle in my geographic are" and i'm still waiting. called toyota twice now, first time (6-11-16) they said one to two weeks before the part is in. it's now been three weeks, no call from toyota, i called on (6-28-16) and was told another two weeks before they get the part. toyota knowing my car was defected since june 15, 2015. this should have been taken care of by now! i'm still waiting for the part and i can't sell it! im driving a ticking time air bag bomb and toyota wants me to wait even longer? am i waiting for this to go off before something is done? hope the metal fragments don't fly in the back seat where my dog is! or fly side ways and hit me when i'm driving! it's already inconvenience i can't have a passenger in the front.

Takata recall - similar to others who have written complaints, i received a letter nearly a year ago saying that i was involved in the recall and that there were parts available in my area. i scheduled an appointment at my local toyota dealership (kearny mesa) only to be told that they parts weren't in yet and that they'd let me know when they were. ...i realize there are a lot of cars affected by this. i also realize that my region has low humidity and there's less concern for the airbag to malfunction...but this really is unacceptable. nearly a year later and i have to either "not drive with anyone" or give them a fair warning that says "hey, that airbag might not be safe, thanks for riding with me!" it's absolutely ridiculous that there isn't a faster response or way to see when we'll be able to get our cars fixed.

Takata recall - i called green's toyota in lexington ky shortly after receiving the recall notice to schedule the recall repair. i explained that i wanted to bring it in on the 1st available saturday. i was routed to many people and finally after speaking to marion bailey (service mgr), i was told that they would have to order the part and once it arrived, i could schedule to repair. yesterday i received notice that the part was received. i called today, and was told that they do not do saturday recall repairs. my formal complaint is that 1. they could have an should have told me this before having wait 4 weeks for a part to arrive, and then having to find another dealership to repair this, and wait another 4 weeks for the part to arrive, and 2. we simply cannot bring this car in for repair during the week as we both work and cannot spend the majority of a work day waiting for a repair. we have a few saturdays that are available to us in the next several weeks and need to get this repair completed. i am formally notifying the nhtsa and toyota corporation of america that we have made every reasonable effort to resolve this matter as outlined in the toyota recall notice. however, we have met resistance and delays at most every attempt to get this recall repair completed. i am asking for specific and immediate assistance in locating a dealer close to our location, that will repair this item on a saturday, and for expedited scheduling and ordering/receiving of the recall repair part.

Takata recall - i scheduled an appointment with ourisman toyota in fairfax, va to have the airbag replaced. i called the parts department to confirm availability of the airbag prior to my appointment but received no return call to my voicemail. when i arrived for my appointment i was told that the waiting list at ourisman for this part is at least many weeks and possibly several months as they do not know when new shipments of airbags will arrive or how many will be coming. the only explanation for my not having received a call back was that "we use a call center now and we don't know what they are doing." my wife is leaving with the car for canada in just over a week and is very concerned about making a long highway trip with the airbag situation still unresolved.

"takata recall" i received a notice stating that "toyota has completed parts preparation for vehicles in your geographic area" yet when i call our local toyota dealer, they tell me that toyota is only allowing them to order 1 part per week!! they have put my name on the list, but said they will see me in about a year. this is not acceptable. this is my teenage daughter's vehicle and this issue needs fixed now, not a year from now. she has already been driving it too long with this unsafe defect. what is toyota going to do if something happens between now and when they decide to let dealers order more than 1 part per week?? i would like an explanation and a solution to this problem for a quicker repair!

I received a letter in september 2015 about my car having a recall on it's airbags. toyota said they would call when they had the part in. i waited until january 2016. i called my toyota dealer in january and asked them if the part was in yet. they said no and that i had to order the part. prior to this, my original letter did not tell me that i needed to order a part. it simply told me to wait for a call from toyota when the part was in. so then they ordered the part in january. in march, i still had not heard anything. i called and asked about my part and they said they still did not have it. i finally received a letter saying my part was ready on may 23rd 2016. i called my toyota dealer to make an appointment. the service receptionist i spoke with was very short and rude with me. she told me that my part was still not in and that she had no way of telling me when it would arrive. i have had to drive an unsafe vehicle since september 2015. i should not have to wait almost an entire year for my recall to be fixed. i am still waiting and do not know when my toyota dealer will be able to fix my car.

Takata recall. i got a letter from toyota instructing me to bring the vehicle in for the recall repair. i contacted priority toyota of springfield, va. 7601 loisdale rd, springfield, va 22150 to schedule the repair. after i provided the vin, they instructed me that i must bring the vehicle in for a pre-inspection, then they will order the part, which will take a week to arrive, then i can bring the car back and wait for the repair which will take 3-4 hours. this is unacceptable. toyota has a faulty part and they need to make it right with customers, not make us jump through a bunch of hoops. the recall notice clearly states not to allow someone to sit in the passenger seat until the repair is made.

In late 2004, i financed a brand new 2005 toyota corolla while residing in south florida. in summer 2008, i relocated to massachusetts. it was in winter 2008 that the engine warning lamp illuminated. i immediately took the vehicle to a toyota dealership. i wasn't really given a real explanation of why the warning lamp was illuminated. i was quickly told it could be fixed. so i paid approx. $800.00 to supposedly have it fixed. literally, two weeks later the engine warning lamp came back on. i took it back to the same toyota dealership and they told me they don't know what's wrong and would have to run more diagnostic test that would cost additional money. at the time, i did not have additional money since i had just dished out nearly $800.00. i have taken the vehicle to independent auto shops in which they have not been able to diagnose the problem. in the state of massachusetts, yearly inspections of an operating vehicle is required. for the past years, i have had to have the light manually turned off hoping that it would not come on in time for the car to be inspected. the car has failed on several occasions because the engine warning lamp illuminated. in addition to the engine warning lamp being illuminated, i have also and still experience harsh shifting. the harsh shifting started approx. in late 2009/2010. i also started noticing decreased lighting visibility in 2011. at night, i have to drive with my high beams to see properly. out of frustration, i gave up on trying to find the cause for these issues. i just dealt with it. i don't frequently use the vehicle now because i live in an area that is accessible to public transportation that allows me to get to work. most recently, i was informed by a fellow corolla owner that in 2009-2010 toyota recalled for engine and engine cooling and headlamps. i never received notifications of such recalls!

Was notified over a year ago about recall. never rec'd word from toyota about part being available. called last month and part was ordered. rec'd another letter from toyota stating same problem. called newark toyota about status of part ordered. still on waiting list. no explanation why this is taking so long. called corporate. apparently parts are backordered and nothing being sent to dealership. apparently they are still using the same manufacturer for the module that supplied all the faulty vehicles. why!!! it seems that they really are not taking this very seriously. why aren't we offered loaner or rental cars as in the case of honda who has the same problem? how many lives are expendable before something is done to remedy the situation. i see that there are over seven million repairs so far. when will my car be fixed?

I own a 2005 toyota corolla. this week i noticed that my air conditioner was blowing hot air. when i had it looked at by a mechanic, i was told that debris got into the condenser and damaged it, requiring a repair. i researched the problem and discovered that toyota issued technical service bulletin ac002-06 "lower grille mesh protection cover," which acknowledges that the failure to include a protection cover near the mesh grille has caused debris to get into the air conditioner condenser, and thereby damaging it. toyota has included the grille protection cover in subsequent toyota corolla models, but it refuses to add the cover to the older models or reimburse customers for the expense in replacing damaged condensers that have resulted from this design defect. toyota issued technical service bulletin ac002-06 "lower grille mesh protection cover

Takata recall. i was informed by toyota on 8/10/15 about the takata recall. i was not able to get the recall fixed on my car until 4/11/16 due to the "unavailability of replacement parts." i had to use the car for 8 months without letting anyone sit in the front passenger seat! i was not able to car pool to work and this really put a damper on my ability to reasonably transport my family, friends and co-workers. the time it took to replace the defective parts is completely unacceptable!

Takata recall. we got a notice after i was told in 2014 the corolla we have was not in the recall even thought i gave the vin? since the notice over nine months ago we have not heard a word from toyota to get the car repaired. my co-worked has had her car (corolla) repaired? toyota has told us to not ride in the front passanger seat until this is repaired yet cannot tell us when ths is to happen? i am aveteran and do not like driving a grenade each time i am on the road!

Takata recall after i received the first recall letter from toyota it said remedy was not available and i would receive another followup letter when available. i never received one. i called the dealer on 11-5-15 to follow up and they said no parts were available yet.. i call 4-4-16 and was told the part was available and to get it fixed my options were leave the care for 4-6 hours and rent a car or have a possibility of waiting for their shuttle that has a 10 mile limit. i don't feel i should have to pay for a rental or miss work to have this repair done. the dealer told me to contact toyota corporate which i did. i was initially told that, yes, retntals were supposed to be suppled and they had me talk with a person at the next level to hopefully work it out. i was told by this level person that they only supplied rentals for people who requested them prior to a remedy and parts available. i confirmed that they would have paid for a rental for a few months but won't pay for one for one day? they said that was correct. . i cannot afford a rental car or taking tie off work to get this fixed. do i have any recourse?

Takata inflator: received letter recommending urgent safety recall. parts were supposedly ordered 3/21/16. as of today, 4/8/16, parts are "backorder" with no timeframe. spoke to "jennifer" at toyota repair shop. this is unacceptable. i frequently have passengers in my car, as i take friends to doctor appointments. please advise....by the way, the letter states that toyota has the parts available for my geographic region. so why are the parts not available? i called as soon as i received the letter.

Takata recall - toyota letter received (bloomington indiana) stating they completed parts prep for my geographical region and to contact a dealer for replacement. i called dealer and was told toyota had placed a 3 per week limit and that the dealer would need to order and expect delivery in two weeks. that to me is not acceptable. the legal nonsense of not having a front seat passenger is annoying since this has been dragging out for a very long time. surely there are other manufacturers that could make replacement. seems to me no one is taking this with any sense of urgency.

While driving on pr highway, within 10 mts, the car's engine stopped having enough time to park the car on the emergency side road. when i saw smoke coming out the hood, i grabbed by belongings and walked away from the car. while i'm calling my husband i saw the car in flames. on dec. 28, 2015 i submitted an investigation with toyota of pr in relation to the fire on my car on dec 24, 2015. until this date i haven't received any response regarding their case # [xxx]. when i call customer service critical cases coordinator, her only response is that i will receive a written notice from head office. i've being 2 month without a car to get to work and i feel frustrated in the manner toyota has treated my situation even when i authorized them to pick up and examine the car after the incident. by the way i still have the burned car in front of my house in case they need additional data. i will appreciate if you could guide me as to my rights or options being that the car was in excellent conditions and i expected some kind of reward or voucher from toyota to at least help me obtain another car from them. sincerely [xxx] , [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).” *tr

Takata recall: i received my only notification from toyota the safety recall notice in late june early july 2015 regarding the inflator problem with my vehicle. from my understanding, the issue is caused by intrusion of moisture into the inflator system of the passenger airbag that causes the inflator to explode if the airbag is deployed. this explosion has been linked to many cases of serious injury and/or death. the notice informed me i would receive another notification when parts were available in my area to have the replacement conducted. it is now february 20, 2016 and in 8 months i have not received any more information regarding this serious life threatening issue. from the information i have found online, the parts should have started to be available in oregon in september 2015, that was 5 months ago and i have yet to hear any information on when i can expect this issue to be resolved. in the notice it asked to not have anyone sit in the passenger seat of the vehicle until repairs can be made. i understand this is a safety precaution, however, after 8 months and counting it has become quite an inconvenience. furthermore, i live in portland, or and it is very humid/moist in this region of the country. this causes even more concern to me that this issue is not being resolved in a time sensitive manner. my complaint is that i have not received timely notice or information regarding when parts would be available in my region of the country and after 8 months, i am requesting someone contact me with more information that can help me resolve this serious problem with my vehicle in the very near future. thank you for your attention to this matter.

Takata recall i'm just concerned at how long this recall is taking. for such a serious safety hazard, it's been over 6 months since i received my initial recall notice and i have not heard anything else about it since. i'm expecting a child in a few months and i can't be driving around in a vehicle that has such a glaring safety problem. the recalls need to be fixed faster and more efficiently.

Takata recall - i purchased the car in july 2015 and was informed that there was a recall on the takata inflator for my car. i took it to daytona toyota in daytona beach, florida to have another recall on the car remedied. they told me they would be calling me when they had the inflator module part in for my car. over the next several months they called me when the part came in and each time i was sent home because it turns out they did not have the part after all. i filed a complaint on their facebook page and the customer service manager contacted me via the telephone. he told me that there was no such part or recall for my car. i trusted him, removed the complaint and have been driving my vehicle ever since. however, i am seriously concerned he lied to me just to get me to delete my complaint. i am now afraid for my safety and unsure if there is truly a recall on my car. i have a toyota corolla s 2005. dealer reference id: dsf and nhtsa recall id: 15v285

Takata recall. it has been almost 6 months since we received the interim recall notice from toyota. we have heard nothing since. toyota is acting in an unethical and dangerous manner by taking so long to remedy this potentially fatal defect. as a couple that almost always travels together in the corolla, we have been denied the use of our vehicle by toyota. this is a loss and we are being held hostage by toyota. because, we might as well not have the vehicle, but can't in good conscience unload it on someone else. the interim recall notice from toyota calls it an 'inconvenience' and warns us not to operate the vehicle with a passenger. we have been patient, but our patience is at an end. now, we are angry and it is only reasonable that if our toyota is not repaired in the next 60 days, we will avail ourselves of every legal and ethical means to be compensated for our loss and the untenable and dangerous situation toyota has put (and kept) us in.

Takata recall: i received a notification 6 months ago that no passengers could safely sit in my front passenger seat as a result of the takata recall. since then, my passengers have been on several uncomfortable long, 5+ hour frequent trips, or i have been unable to use my car for those trips. after 6 months, i still have not received notification that the parts can be fixed. since i live in a busy city and would typically ride with passengers, my car has become unsafe and useless for anything other than occasional lone trips. i am shocked that no other remedy has been offered to help those impacted by the takata recall. *js

Takata recall, called dealership 6 months ago been on a waiting list ever since. yet, the recall ask you not to drive your car but you have to drive it to get to work. i know the letter is to protect toyota but what about their customers that purchased the car in good faith. when will they have enough air bags for me to get off the waiting list 6 months is way too long to be waiting.

Takata recall toyota safety recall notice received august 13, 2015 stating "we are currently preparing parts for your location; we will send you another notification once sufficient parts have been produced and remedy can be performed. until then, recommended no occupant in front passenger seat." as of today 12/28/2015 (almost 5 months after receiving recall notice) toyota has not notified me the remedy can be performed. therefore, i am filing this complaint bec toyota has failed or is unable to remedy this dangerous defect within a reasonable time, knowingly jeopardizing safety.

Airbag light keeps stay on when driving, regardless of where to drive. having the vehicle checked at toyota dealer in concord, ca. they found spiral cable, located on or at steering column, defective. and if left unfixed, according to my understanding, the airbag on driver side potentially unexpected deployed or wont deploy at all at time of accident. this is a scary safety concern to me, costly but it need to be fixed as soon as possible. hope toyota will cover or share the cost with me, ~$500 at estimate.

Takata passenger air bag recall. notified late july/early august and as of 10/21/2015, the repair parts are still "not available in my area." this seems to be taking excessively long. i can't allow anyone to occupy my front passenger seat.

Received recall notice sometime in august 2015 due to airbag defect; 2nd notice in sept. 2015. i called my totota dealer and phone # on notice. i was told no one should sit in front passenger seat until replaced. parts are unavailable. its now been well over 2 months and still unable to correct problem. i was told i could rent a car , $25 per day, but would have to keep rental until car repair was completed, and no time frame on when parts would be available. if i did rent a car, it would have already cost me over $700.00. what good is having a car that you cannot use when you want to. i already canceled small vacation in september. when i contacted toyota, all they could say was there is still no time frame on when parts would be available.

Received a recall notice in june 2015 stating that their is a problem with the airbag inflator module. it is now october 2015 and have heard nothing else. it states to not use my front passenger seat until the problem is fixed. that is not possible with me since i am a single mom with four kids one has to sit upfront. i believe this should have been found much sooner as should be fixed by now. i am putting my kids in risk every time i have to put one of them in the front seat when we have somewhere to go. i think toyota should be doing more to fix this problem and faster.

The light for the air bags reads off and there's a red light on my dash stays on indicating the air bags. there is no passenger or anything heavy in the passenger seat. this just started thurs. oct. 22, 2025. normally when the light goes on there is noise that goes off until i remove the heavy item from the passenger seat. this is scary. this happened around 5:15 in the evening after i started my vehicle after it had been parked @ 3 hours. i noticed the air bags light was off and the red light on. i had pulled out from the curb and i thought a door was open. so i stopped to check and it was not.

I am still waiting to have my front airbags replaced by toyota. they are a danger to myself and any passenger that rides with me in the front seat. my friend who has a honda had hers replaced two months ago. why is the nhtsa allowing toyota to take so long to fix this problem when you know it is life threatening and dangerous issue. please put pressure on toyota to fix my car and others' like me who are in the same situation. thank you *tr

The remedy for the defective passenger side air bags is not within a reasonable time. the recall was known may 13, 2015 and the parts to correct are still not available. how long does it take to correct this error??? it is most annoying to not be able to use my front passenger seat. i am loosing my faith in toyota. a toyota owner since 1977.

I received a notice months ago from toyota that the front passenger air bag inflator module is defective. they stated that a passenger should not ride in the car until the defect is fixed. it has been months and they still do not have the parts to fix this issue. this is ridiculous that they can't immediately fix this issue.

I received a notice in the mail over a month ago from toyota stating that my vehicle's air bag inflators "may have been manufacture in such a way as to have a potential for the intrusion of moisture over time...this could create excessive internal pressure when the air bag is deployed and cause the inflator to rupture...metal fragments could pass through the air bag cushion material, striking the vehicle occupants potentially resulting in serious injury or death." this is a fatal potential manufacturing error. it is also an extreme inconvenience, as i do not feel comfortable having passengers sit in the passenger seat due to the issue. i have made 2 calls to my local toyota dealer, as well as one call to the toyota customer experience center. my toyota dealer informed me that they do not have the parts, both times, and the toyota customer experience center reported that they "do not have a remedy for the problem as of yet." i am appalled with the lack of attention this recall is receiving. i feel toyota has failed to remedy the defect within a reasonable time. this is my official complaint to the administrator, national highway safety administration. please inform toyota of my discontent with their inability to make right a serious issue in a timely manner. sincerely, xx information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Toyota is delayed in providing remedy for the "front passenger airbag inflator module recall" on my car. toyota recommends not using the front passenger seat until then. this is not feasible since our family has only one car, we carry dogs/kids in the back seat, and my husband and i must be sitting in the front. toyota dealer sunnyvale (ca) is not able to provide a loaner free of charge until remedy is available.

I received a letter in the mail that toyota has decided that a defect which relates to my car model and year exists, in accordance with the national traffic and motor vehicle safety act. "the subject vehicles are equipped with front passenger air bag inflators which may have been manufactured in such a way as to have a potential for the intrusion of moisture over time. .... in the event of an inflator rupture, metal fragments could pass through the air bag cushion material, striking the vehicles occupants potentially resulting in serious injury or death. i should not ride with any passengers until this matter is addressed further" unfortunately i live in atlantic city, which has one of the highest humidity levels for a city in the united states. this scares me as i have a wife and 3 children, and not being able to drive my family in this car is just not an option. i spoke to toyota and they are refusing to act on this matter and just say that "i am in phase 1 and until this matter reaches phase 2, nothing can be done"

This complaint is in reference to the toyota recall described below (per http://www.toyota.com/recall). the recall date was june 16, 2015 (today's date is 08 september 2015) and toyota has failed to remedy the defect within a reasonable time because the remedy parts are still not available for my vin. description the subject vehicles are equipped with front passenger air bag inflators which may have been manufactured in such a way as to have a potential for the intrusion of moisture over time. depending on the circumstances, this could create excessive internal pressure when the air bag is deployed and cause the inflator to rupture. in the event of an inflator rupture, metal fragments could pass through the air bag cushion material, striking and potentially seriously injuring the vehicle occupants in a crash. remedy toyota is currently working on obtaining the remedy parts for subsequent phases of this safety recall. additional information will be provided as remedy parts become available. when parts are available, toyota dealers are requested to replace the airbag inflator module at no charge to the vehicle owner.

Check engine light came while driving to work in 2005 corolla. took car to mechanic who diagnosed the charcoal canister needed to be replaced. also occurred with a 20008 toyota matrix (corolla cousin), that had only 70,000 miles on it. seems to me this is a manufacturing defect with toyota corollas and possibly others.

I have been contacting the toyota dealer since july 21, 2015 to replace the passengers airbag. i am told parts are not available- yet they send out these scary letters for us to call and make an appointment to replace them or we will be responsible for the consequences. i have made three calls to the dealer. my last call was on august 15, 2015. i was basically told- don't call us. we will call you when parts are available. this is unacceptable. a recall shouldn't have been sent out until parts were made available.

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.

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 wasn’t aware that these problems could happen because there isn’t 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 ¼ 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. eventually my car was towed to the auto shop. i have a worn out cam gear, a tensioner with a few fine cracks, bent valves and the timing chain. i called toyota customer service on july 24, 2015. but i was told that since the car warranty of 60,000 miles had passed and i didn’t take my car to a toyota authorized auto shop they won’t deal with my car problem.

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.

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 i work very hard to save money. thank you for your time. *tr

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

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.

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 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

The airbag light comes on out of nowhere and for no reason. stayed on ever since. i did nothing and no accident what so ever. 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 only own one car and need the front passenger seat to provide transportation for my family. i have called both toyota corporate and the local dealer and not getting any resolution. *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 prefer not to drive at night because of it. 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

I have received notice from toyota that my vehicle may be unsafe due to the installation of a defective air bag. i called the dealership where i purchased the vehicle to schedule service so as to avoid any accident or injury to myself, my family, or others. i was informed today that no dealership in my area (including competitor dealerships such as honda) have been set up to deal with this process until the end of january to receive any service or to take any of the recommended steps in the advisory letter. i am registering this complaint to ensure that if any accident or injury occurs as a result of the defect before i can receive the appropriate service, that toyota cannot claim i did not respond in a timely or appropriate manner. i am deeply disappointed by this response and hope that the nhtsa will take steps to ensure that something like this does not occur in future. i consider the delay to be unacceptable and adding to the anxiety of knowing that this risk may occur. *tr

Sir, i bought a new toyota le year 2005 in maryland and since the beginning i've always brought my car for maintenance to the same dealership to which i was very pleased about it. on monday, november 17th, 2014 my son was driving our car southbound in lane 2 of georgia avenue when another driver pulled out of a secondary road of the home depot parking lot and went directly into lane 2 in front of our car. my son was unable to avoid the other driver and struck his car in the rear causing little damage for the drivers car. the impact caused a lot of damage in the front end of our car. my son did not suffer a fracture or a severe injury but he got a cervical sprain, in addition to developing back pain, left knee pain. the impact was so bad that our car was deemed a total loss. but interestingly, the air bags did not deploy at all! if the airbags were defective as it has been for other toyota cars then i may have had a defective product that was supposed to be fixed or replaced so they would have worked properly in case of an accident that's why we trust in the manufacturer and in the written instructions in the manual. ..updated 12/29/14 *bf *tr

Dealer doesn't have part and won't order part unless i bring the car in first and have air bag disconnected on passenger side. explained i don't carry passenger's and don't need this done, just get the part and i will bring car in. talked to toyota and that's the conditions set by them to get part replaced. it will cost me at least a full day by going twice to get part replaced as dealer is an hour away from me. i hope it's not the case but it feels as if the manufacturer is deliberately making it more difficult to have defective part replaced to prevent them from paying more claims? *tr

My 19 year old was driving back to college, the car in front of her stopped short to avoid another crash, she reared ended the car at 47 miles an hour. none of the air bags deployed. she was unconscious for 20 minutes, suffered a concussion. i contacted toyota they said the air bag was not recalled, asked to conduct a data analysis: stating she swerved to the right and that the dtc light was on and that we "had ample time to have taken the vehicle to a repair shop to have the problem addressed" . we had the car inspected a few days prior to this accident and there was no indication of any lights on the dash. i believe toyota is wrong in accusing us on the problem. i believe they are covering up their problem. my daughter is a college athlete and is unable to participate due to this issue, she is still suffering and to have toyota state this was our problem is wrong. we bought this car for her because we believe it was safe. you don't let your children drive a bike without a helmet and your don't let your college age students drive a car with air bag lights indicating that they need service. ..updated 12/29/14*bf

5 vehicle wreck in fast lane on 6 lane portion of state highway, 50 mph zone. car in front stopped unexpectedly. corolla stopped in time (preventing rear end collision) but 3 vehicles (included 2 trucks) behind the corolla collided heavily and pushed the corolla into the car in front. no airbag deployed. car "totaled". severe front end and rear end damage. no airbag deployed on driver side or other side. *tr

I just purchased my 2005 corolla 3 months prior to this incident and it was a fairly new car but it had the check engine light on with in the first month i had it. on the day of the incident the weather nice and pleasant & i was soberly driving home from nursing school in san jose along in the middle lane of a 3 lane street at the legal speed limit of 35 miles an hour. about 600 feet ahead there was a yellowing stoplight and two cars slowing down nearing the stoplight. i put on the brakes normally as i thought there was plenty of space to come to a stop however it felt like instead of slowing the car suprisingly sped up and instantly i was smelling gunpowder after a sharp painful jarring smack. the airbags had deployed and was a ripped up mess from my steering wheel. i hit the car in front of me and was so dazed and shocked and my wrist had shattered requiring reparative surgery and rehabilitation however it's still not ok. due to my confusion i denied medical treatment until a few days later. this confusion still affects me badly now as i suffer from severe ptsd. the police took pictures and a report. the people in the car i hit were taken by ambulance. & recommended i be taken as well but i refused. the car had been totaled with severe body damage to the front and a bent frame that it was able to drive from the scene. i was terrified that somebody either tampered with my car and brakes or either i was clinically insane to make it illogically speed up & it wasn't until i learned of the recalls only a few days ago that i realized maybe the accident wasn't all my fault & i should report it here. toyota corporation has done nothing to send me notifications of any recalls or problems ever. *tr

My car only has 54000 miles and since last 2-3 weeks, its steering wheel has become so stiff. we did the power steering flush at 33,000 miles (as recommended in the owner manual) and it was working fine until this month. based upon the online research, this seems to be a common problem with the 2005 corollas. i believe this is a hardware problem and toyota should fix this under warranty. *tr

October 2013, my daughter was driving her 2005 toyota corolla in southern ca, when smoke started to fill the car. the smoke was coming from the driver side master window switch. the smoke lasted a few minutes, and a burning smell of plastic also filled the car. the car was still able to drive, but the engine light came on. when i took a look at the switch, none of the switches at the master control were working and all felt completely loose. i pulled the switch panel away from the door and could see how the plastic was completely melted and had burned holes through the switch. i contacted the dealer and all they could say was that there was not a recall on this vin# and they would not take care of the problem, but they were aware of problems on other vin #'s in the same model. there is obviously a fire hazard with this car and toyota knows about it. what does it take for a large company to take ownership of a known problem? i recently called them again to see if they have issued a recall and still have not. now i am even more upset! *tr

In september 2013 i had my car inspected by my mechanic and it passed inspection. then in december 2013 i needed an oil change. my mechanic suggested i winterize it, so i did. he did the following: changed oil and filter, lube chasis, flush radiator, added new antifreeze, rotated tires, checked brakes, dax cool; cabin filter: removed old cabin filter, cleaned out air box and installed new filter; fuel injector clean: cleaned and flushed injector system; belt - removed and replaced listed belts, adjusted tension; battery - checked charging and staring system, installed new battery and cleaned cable ends. i dont know if it was because of what was done above but periodically my car would not stop immediately at a red light it skidded a little. then eventually my car would speed up on its own so i would have to brake and then drive at a really low speed. then on april 2, 2014 i took my car back to my mechanic and he checked 4 wheel brake and hydraulic system, cleaned and adjusted brakes, toped off fluid. every time i did bring my car into the mechanic they would road test it and tell me the car is now drivable. however, when i would drive the car it felt as if i had to no control over the car. saturday, april 5, 2014 i took it over to toyota and they did a general inspection, they told me the battery is fine, they also did an oil change, afix sticker and reset maintenance reminder. they test drove as well and told me everything is fine. however, as i drove this past month i felt as if i had no control over the car. my foot was not really on the gas pedal. before the winterized i would drive all over town and would put my foot on the gas at the level i wanted it to go. now i do not put any real pressure on the gas pedal and the car seems to go on its own. *js

In january of 2013 and again in december of 2013, my "check engine" light came on. i took the car into the toyota dealership in san luis obispo and they said that the o2 sensor was malfunctioning, causing the engine to run too lean. the first time this happened (january, 2013) the service writer gave me an estimate to replace the "plenum gasket and o2 sensor" but said there was nothing to worry about if i elected not to have this repair done. when the "check engine" light came on again in december, 2013, i became alarmed and took my 2005 toyota corolla to an authorized toyota repair shop (not the san luis obispo dealership) and was told that there was high probability that the valves would burn out if i did not replace the o2 sensor (bank one, sensor one) and plenum gasket. i felt this was urgent and took it to the san luis obispo toyota dealer for the repair, costing me over $400. note that i found a toyota technical service bulletin ("m.i.l "on" dtc po171 or p2195", models '05-'06 corolla and matrix) dated november 16, 2005 (we bought the car in march or april, 2005) which stated "under certain driving conditions, some 2005 and 2006 model year corolla and matrix vehicles may exhibit a mil "on" condition with at least one of the following dtc's: po171 (system too lean, bank 1"). further, it stated "the air fuel (a/f) sensor manufacturing process has been improved to correct this condition". note that i never received correspondence or a notice from toyota about this condition. on 1-2-14 i emailed toyota (ref: 140102-000196) to ask about this and to ask their consideration to cover some of the cost of the repair, and i received an email back from a "renee t.", toyota customer experience stating "a tsb (technical service bulletin) is not a recall or a special service campaign" and that toyota and basically brushed my concern aside. *tr

After having my battery changed 1 month prior, all the warning lights on the instrument panel came on. the windshield wipers stopped working and all the electrical systems stopped working. (ie: radio, power windows, all lights on dashboard.) prior to this incident i had been experiencing a problem with starting the car. the transmission would not engage and i noticed that all the indicator lights were not coming on when starting the car. i would have to turn off the ignition and restart the car two or three times. when i bought it to the dealer they said their was a broken wire in relay box which caused the block assembly ? to short out. it cost 1100.00 to fix and it is only guaranteed for 1 year. the car has only 52,000 miles on it. this problem sounds like the problem with the ecm recall but it was changed in 2011. very disappointed in toyota. seems that electrical problems are very prevalent in toyota vehicles. *tr

We were east-bound on a residential street when a west-bound vehicle made a left turn immediately in front of us, across our lane. i brake, but collided with the side of the vehicle. the other driver was unhurt and his vehicle was still drivable. our airbags deployed. my wife, who is 63 inches, 110 lbs, had her ribs cracked by the force of the airbag hitting her in the chest. her seat was locked in the upright position at maximum distance from the airbag; her seatbelt was on and properly worn. she was not holding anything in her hands or on her lap. the speed of the impact was low enough that neither of us even suffered serious bruising from the seatbelts. the airbag was the sole source of her physical injuries resulting from the accident. *tr

My husband bought my 2005 corolla as a wedding gift. it was slightly used but bought from one of the best toyota dealerships in our town. it had approx. 18000 miles when i got t in feb of 2007. it was very basic and a standard. the shifting/clutch never seemed right from the start but i learned how to deal with it. in feb of 2010, i was leaving work and was a few miles from home. i had never in my many years of driving had a wreck. the truck ahead of me came to an abrupt stop and as i tried to brake,my car seemed to speed up and went right up under the truck. the whole front end smashed right up to the windshield yet the airbag did not deploy. insurance deemed it a total loss but it was right at the point where i still owed as much as the pay off so they went ahead and fixed it. i was out a lot of money. the second wreck just occurred on march 15,2013. i was driving home from a family members residence in the country and was traveling on deserted roads at about 3:30 am. i went around an s curve that i grew up driving so it i was very familiar. i tried to slow down,but again seemed to accelerate. i over corrected and ran thru a ditch and completely threw a metal fence. again. the airbag,which always had the light on as if ready to deploy,did not go off. i was hurt very badly and apparently blacked out for a good while. this time the insurance deemed it a total loss and we are waiting on a settlement from our insurance plus i hurt my knee and am meeting with a surgeon next week. that car was nothing but trouble and i am happy to b rid of it but feel we all deserve justice for all the many errors toyota has given this vehicle. *tr

I put the key in the ignition, started the car and turn the heater. a couple of second went by i started smelling something burning. that made me turn off the car and get out of the car. when i got out the car i didn't notice any smoke coming from the engine. a thought came to mind that maybe it was another car passing by. so as i just got in my car, within 15 seconds of driving out of the parking garage i noticed smoke coming out the power window switch and within the window cracks. i was so startled and didn't know what to do. i put the driver side window down, stopped the car and call 911. this incident could have caused me to have an accident due to the traffic and because i thought my car was on fire. the fire dept. checked my car, they smelled the odor and told me just to take it to the shop. when i got to the toyota dealership they informed me there wasn't a recall. so i decided to research it and i found a article stating that the power-window switch on the driver's side didn't have grease applied evenly during production, causing friction in the switch and sometimes smoke, according to toyota. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505145_162-57529367/massive-toyota-recall-due-to-faulty-window-switch/ which stated recalls due to the similar problem i encountered. i showed it to the toyota serviceman and he came to about 30 minutes later and stated that there is nothing they could do. on february 19th, 2013 i contacted toyota corporate office and they informed me that my corolla vin number wasn't chosen for the recall. every owner that owns a toyota listed should have gotten a letter informing them about the recall no matter what vin number was chosen! *tr

Toyota issued a technical service (#ac002-06) bulletin regarding the condenser not being properly protected for the 05 and 06 corolla models. they said that you could take the car to the dealership and they would install netting around the condenser- but if it is already broken- then you are out of luck. mine has been broken for two years-now i am now spending over $500 to replace the condenser and my co-worker drives an 06 model and hers has been broken for a year. this is a safety concern for people driving in extreme heat. we are taking a family trip to nv this weekend, so i had to bite the bullet and get mine fixed, but this is ridiculous. how can they admit a design flaw and then not fix it:( also- my car lost 4 hubcaps within 2 weeks from purchasing it and i have noticed several others around town with the same problem. while i got some cheap ones to replace the ones i lost- having your hubcaps fly off is a definite safety issue and concern. *tr

While driving on 55 south freeway exit from 91 west to my work, my car suddenly stopped responding. it started jerking and suddenly stopped the engine. luckily traffic wasn't that fast otherwise it could have created a big pile up behind me. i pulled over to the right shoulder and stopped. i tried about 3-4 times to start, but it did not crank at all. so i called the tow truck and towed to nearby firestone in orange, ca. they first suspected may be the bad battery, and checked and replace the battery but still didn't start. so they did complete diagnosis and found that fuel wasn't reaching to the engine due to fuel pump failure. they recommended to changed the whole fuel pump assembly and charged me about $1100. they told me that there has been known issues on 05 toyota corolla for fuel pump failure and they knew in 2005 and issued notice too. i have bought this brand new in '04 august from toyota in claremont, ca. at least they should have notified us via email or postal mail since they knew about it, than i could have gone to dealership and have them checked for it. now, i am stuck with the $1100 bill. that is ridiculous how careless toyota is. no wonder, they had so many recalls last year 2011. i just want the toyota to know about it and send me the money i paid to firestone. i have googled online, and found so many blogger who had issue with the fuel pump. so it has been still going on and toyota is not doing anything about it. they should fix the issue right away, it's a manufacturing defect. why they wait until people die???? *tr

Ac stopped working in peak summer heat. after researching, realized that this is a common problem in toyotas made before 2006. toyota has a technical service bulletin ac002-06 which implies that the a/c condenser is not protected. the cost to replace is $600 and will go out around 50k. if you look at the a/c condenser on these cars vs. 2007-2009 toyota has added a plastic cover to cover the hole left in 2005-2006. this is a safety issue for the warm states in the south. *tr

Car was running with the shift in the park position for approximately 5 or 6 minutes. suddenly it starting rolling fast in reverse. i was standing next to the car on the phone and when it started to roll didn't realize how fast it was moving so i tried to jump in to stop it. i was unable to make it in to the car, fell and rolled underneath it and the front tire ran over the right side of my body. the car continued to move fast until it came to a hill where it then turned around in to the forward position (not in reverse) and started moving very slowly until it hit a tree and stopped. i sustained a crush injury to my right side, fracturing all of my ribs in multiple places (flail chest). was taken to a level 1 trauma hospital and admitted in to intensive care. spent a number of weeks in the hospital and a 6 month recovery at home. still have open fractures. when the car was checked by the police it was still in park with the ignition in the running position although the car was not running. something went seriously wrong with the transmission that day. *js

I own a sunshine kids radian xtsl which was installed rfing in our 2005 toyota corolla using the "super latch" latch strap which is supposedly able to be used until my child reaches 80 lbs (the maximum weight limit of the seat). due to the way the buckle on the strap is, when my son's foot hit the buckle part of the latch strap, it loosened to the point i could move the seat several inches at the belt path. i reinstalled with the seatbelt to avoid this from happening again, but that is kind of annoying being that one reason i bought this seat was for the "super latch" feature. i just feel it is not safe to continue using the latch since my son can so easily touch it with his foot.

In summer, corolla experience harsh shifting and indicator light came on. ecm replaced in july - approx one month before recall occurred. at the time of correction, car was at nearly 91,000 miles - research ecm issues online, contacted toyota and they stated since it was out of warranty they had no obligation to cover ecm repair. recall released within one month of ecm repair. less than 60 days later, took corolla back to dealership. car still experience harsh shifting. after paying $225 for a transmission flush, and dealer shifting transmission manually, the dealer stated ecm works fine, transmission will need to be replaced at +$3k. researched and identified similar problem in toyota rav4 - ecm failure led to transmission failure. filing complaint because i think toyota needs to pay for my new transmission. at current time, transmission not fixed..want an explanation, if the component that tells the transmission to shift accurately isn't working, then why doesn't toyota recognize that the transmission has the potential to not work properly - if problem occurred in rav4, why not corollas? now that ecm is fixed, transmission is still damaged from prior ecm failure. updated ivoq 02/09/11 *tr

I was driving my 2005 toyota corolla and it stopped running in the middle of rush hour traffic. i was almost rear ended because of this sudden stall of my vehicle. it turns out that the problem was the fuel pump. the fuel pump is being replaced as i write this complaint. the dealer told me that toyota no longer makes the original pump for the car that cost about $300 because they've been having to service many cars with that particular fuel pump problem. as a result of this problem i have to end up paying about $920 for a new model fuel pump. i can't believe that i the consumer has to pay for toyota's mistake of not producing a reliable product. what if this would have happened on the freeway while driving 65 mph and the car just stalled on me. i believe that the fuel pump for this vehicle should be recalled because i'm sure this is not the first or last time that this will happen. toyota should pay the difference for this mistake. *tr

My 2005 toyota corolla would not start one morning. i kept trying to start it and no clicking or sound of the car trying to turn over happened. eventually it did start but had a very hesitating sound to it. the next day, it had the same problems so i tried charging the battery for a few minutes. this seemed to work and i was able to drive my car to work. as i was driving, the car began to shift hard and the check engine light came on. i called toyota and a local toyota dealership after discovering that my car was involved in a recall. toyota then gave the go ahead to the dealership to replace the ecm, the part being recalled. the dealership replaced the part free of charge and the car seemed to be "fixed". two days later... my car will once, not start. *tr

The engine stalled lots of time when i used brake to stop at a stop sign, or when i drove at low speed in traffic, such as 1 to 5 mile per hour. i had to press gas at a stop sign while i put the car in parking position to keep the engine alive. it took the dealer more than one month to fix it. the first time the dealer returned it to me and told me the problem had been fixed, the car stalled within 200 ft after i left the dealer. i walked back and told the dealer. the dealer told me to drive it back to home and "let the computer learn by itself". i did as the dealer told me but the car stalled as before. i had to bring it back to the dealer. dealer changed the computer for me. the engine-stall problem is solved. right now, the car (most probably the engine) still vibrates/shakes strongly when i stop the car at the stop sign, at the red light, and drive the car at very low speed (such as 1 to 5 mile per hour). *tr

The problem started about 6 months ago - while shifting my 2005 corolla (typically when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear and then from 2nd to 3rd gear). in order to not make my car stall - i would just give it a lot of extra gas to ensure that it wouldn't stall. the problem occurs regularly - almost every time i drive (about 1 time a week). the problem only occurs when starting and stopping and shifting in the low gears. after this problem started in feb of 2010 - i took the car to a toyota dealership. they hooked the car up to a computer and said it was fine. the dealership said they also took the car on a drive to see if it would do it then, and they claimed it didn't. so nothing was done at the that time. when i left the dealership, the car continued to shift harshly. *tr

Our 2005 toyota corolla (102,000 miles) experiences very hard automatic shifting that makes it sometimes difficult to control while driving. this just happened suddenly. at first the problem was just intermittent, but now it happens every time the car changes gears. we researched online and saw this is a very common problem with 05-07 toyotas of certain models, and that it's due to a faulty ecm. unfortunately, toyota refuses to replace the ecm, which is the only ($1000+) solution. *tr

Bought a used toyota corolla in texas at a toyota dealer, on the way home to ny, after a few hundred miles, it died on the interstate and myself and my son spent the night in it, like the key was turned off. loaded on a roll-back, and taken to a toyota dealer, they said that they didn't know why, but they reprogrammed the computer. now, $60 dollars poorer, down the road i go, another couple hundred miles, again it dies on the interstate, spent another night in it, onto another roll-back to another toyota dealer. these folks tell me that i have bad computer sensors in the throttle body, they install a new one, charge me $1,300 dollars, and off i go, until a hundred miles down the road, it quits again on the interstate, this time on a dangerous spot on a blind curve. a police officer provided protection from on coming traffic until the tow arrived. another rollback ride to the toyota dealer. they do something more to it, down the road i go, finally making it home. now i know that its not just my car. i think the toyota company should have repaired the computer sensors in the throttle body at no charge. all three times that the corolla quit, we were in a heavy traffic situation in the middle lane of a multi-lane interstate, and moving at the speed limit. we were extremely lucky that no one was hurt. *tr

"on" problem. since i had done my research and found this problem to be common in 2005 toyota corollas, i expected them to replace the ecm for me. however, given that my car was just past 89,000 miles and the warranty ended at 85,000, the dealership told me there is nothing toyota would do. my car exhibits the harsh shift problem regularly and now my plates have come up for renewal and i cannot pass an emissions test given my "check engine" light being on. i cannot afford to just replace the unit and i believe that since toyota is aware it is a widespread problem, they should be recalling the part for consumer satisfaction. i have been a loyal toyota consumer since i began driving but i have lost my respect for the company given the circumstances of my newest toyota and how they have been completely uncooperative in helping rectify the situation (knowing it is a defect on their part). *tr

The plastic headlight lenses are clouded and yellowed and, as a result, obscures the brightness and effectiveness of the headlights. this is a safety hazard for driving at night as the headlight is dimmed to oncoming cars as wells as it lessens visibility for the driver. it should not be the responsibility of the vehicle owner to have the headlight lenses replaced when the cloudiness could be due to possible defective materials as this has not happened to any other car that i've owned and any that belong to other family members and friends. the lenses have gradually clouded starting about 2 years ago. *tr

P2716 harsh shift fault code. i purchased car from dealer as a certified used perfectly reliable on 12/28/08 with 47000 miles on it. the other day out of no where, no warnings, no noticeable changes the check engine light came on, while cruising up the 14 north at 75 mph. didn't think much of it, stopped at a friends house and used his obd2 reader and found out the issue, still haven't noticed much of an issue except for the sharp harsh shifting from 1st thru 3rd unless babying it. so i go into the dealer with 94786miles and see what's the issue and why so many problems. i was told yes its known a tsb has been published, yes its a safety hazard to anyone on or around the road due to the fact it could shut down at a moments notice. but since i am past the 80000 mi. warranty there is nothing they can do except offer me a 10% discount and pay 693.00 to have it replaced, and there is no guarantee it will be perfect again, many of our customers have had to return multiple times for it which the warranty covers. how does my certified used , extended warranty purchase, being a safety hazard not covered under a warranty control, a safety recall, or something? *tr

2005 toyota corolla stalled in a bad location, i could of got hit! some miles later car shifted ruff, some miles later engine light came on. i then took the car to the nearest place " autozone" to have test ran, test results was code p2716 i'm scared to drive this car any where!!!! *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 toyota corolla. the contact stated that whenever she would shift from park and into drive or reverse, the vehicle would abnormally jerk forward or backward. when driving over 10 mph, the vehicle would also jerk and abnormally accelerate until she would depress the brakes. the vehicle was taken to an independent repair shop where the contact was informed that the ecu would need to be replaced. the vehicle was not serviced. the failure mileage was 86,000 and the current mileage was 88,000.

I have a 2005 toyota corolla. i was driving about 60 mph down the freeway when suddenly with no warning, the car stopped accelerating. i had to cruise over to the shoulder out of danger. i eventually was towed to the dealership. they did a diagnostic test ($97.00) and told me it was the fuel pump. they told me it might be covered under my extended warranty and that's when i asked them if water could have possibly gotten into the fuel system (gasoline). they said they did not do a fuel check, but would do one. they called me back and said it was contaminated gas and that some silvery metallic substance was in the gasoline. it cost me $1,605.00 to replace the fuel pump, clean the fuel injectors, clean out the gas tank. next day the "check engine" light came on. took it back to the dealership and they said the bad gas had killed the catalytic converter and the ratio oxygen sensors. cost me another $1,980.88. called the gas company i got the gas from and they denied my claim saying not enough evidence even though the dealership claimed bad gasoline. the gas company told me that when fuel pumps go, they can emit a metallic substance in the gasoline. now i don't know who to believe after hearing about all these fuel pumps going. funny thing is that when i was paying for my car the 2nd time around, a woman paying for her repair work said her fuel pump went out too. she had the same car -- 2005 toyota corolla !!! she also had to pay $1,500.00. something is fishy here. *tr

Coming to a stop while applying the brakes, i first felt resistance from the brake pedal then nothing. at the same time, the car began to accelerate without stepping on the gas pedal. this happened twice in a 10 day period. *tr

I have a 2005 corolla s, and the ecu problem is well-known, and is a safety hazard. i had my first problem with my ecu, at 62k miles, and thank god, it didn't happen while i was on my daily 40 mile commute on a high-speed, heavy-traffic highway. my car just wouldn't start at random when i was leaving a store, the starter wasn't cranking, nothing was happening, just nothing when i turned the key. no lights on my dashboard, other than the door light where i had the door open (it was 95 degrees, and my power windows obviously weren't working). did research and saw that the ecm is a terrible problem on 05-07 corollas, and the toyota service man agreed that was the problem. got it replaced, and not even 24 hours after picking it up from the dealer, it happened again, stranding me at work with no way to get home. this is a ridiculous problem, and it is certainly a safety hazard with many reports of the car stopping while people are driving. *tr

Was at a stop light and put the car into 1st gear and proceeded to accelerate up to 15mpg. upon shifting the car into 2nd gear it did not take and the car then made a noise. i had to then place the car back into 1st gear and pull to the side of the road almost getting hit by other traffic and stop on the side of the road for a full inspection. there was nothing visible upon inspection and no current noises at that time so i proceeded to go again first shifting into 1st gear then second and i stopped at 3rd and went straight home. about one and 1/2 miles later it started making another noise similar to the first, but it was continuous and so i parked the car at home and had it towed to the dealership. they then explained to me that this was a very common problem with this motor(being the type that it was) and what had happened is a rod in the engine had been spun. they said it could have been worse and i could have lost control and wrecked the car very easily. they said that due to the nature and price they would not fix the car because it would have to have a full new engine replacement and that would be up to $8k because of it being a rare and high performance price. after further inspection and online research it is very common while downshifting this engine that they slip a gear and spin the rod mostly in the #4 rod and need a new engine for complete repairs. also it would very likely continue to happen again and again thus putting me and my family in danger on the road. toyota will not fix the problem they do acknowledge it and that it exists, but will not do the repairs because of the price issue. it is a major safety issue though. the bar also requested that it be reported to nhtsa. *tr

I was driving on the interstate at around 65 mph. they were closing the right lane for road work, leading everyone to merge into one lane. i applied my brakes and they locked up. as i was moving forward and slowing down as everyone was slowing because of the merging (however, this wasn't happening smoothly, as i was skidding instead of simply decelerating), i was rear ended by a car traveling at full speed (approx 65 mph). the force of the impact hit me into grass median on the left side of the highway. while stopped for mere seconds, i had not even put the car into park yet, my car started rolling down the median's embankment, through the woods while my foot was still on the brake. i kept pressing the brake and it was not responding. i hit a tree after rolling approx 100 feet into the woods. a toyota dealer is currently doing the repairs, and told me that the brakes were in fact working when driving it around the shop at slow speeds. i feel like no one believes me, nor is even offering an explanation on how this could even happen. *tr

I noticed an odd disruption in normal transmission function on my 2005 toyota corolla. i suspected it was due to a defective engine component . i went to the local toyota dealership and was told that the engine control module needed to be replaced ;that the car would stop running without replacing it. on inquiry i was told that there is a problem with this component on 2005 toyota corolla's. the dealership refused to replace the component. i called the toyota corporate office on june 8,2010 (1-800-331-4331) call reference number: 1006081641 it became apparent that toyota knows there is a problem with defective engine control module's in 2005 toyota corolla's. if the phone call is pulled by the national highway safety traffic administration a wider problem with defective engine control modules may become evident. i identified the problem as a safety issue when i called the toyota corporate office. *tr the consumer had the necessary repairs made at the dealer at her expense. updated ivoq 10/18/10

My 2005 toyota corolla ce has been randomly stalling on me when i turn, when im at red lights, when im accelerating and when im slowing down with no rhyme or reason. it just started one day and continues to do at random times and with random frequency. i do not feel safe when this happens and there is no way to determine when my gas pedal will quit working, no noise to let me know it is about to or has happened, no overheating of the engine, no spikes in the rpms or anything, it just does it. i was almost in an accident the other night at 11pm when i was at a red light and went to accelerate and there was no response, the person behind me almost rear-ended me because of this. i was able to take it to a mechanic who said the computer was reading it was a fuel actuator issue. they advised me to contact toyota since that is the same failure that is being recalled on all the other vehicles. i have made several attempts to contact toyota which haven't resolved anything yet, so my car is still stalling and nothing has been done to resolve it as of yet. *tr

I have a toyota corolla 2005 model purchased in oct. 2004. i was going to work one morning, pulling into the parking garage, i coasted up the incline til i slowed, tapped the accelerator to give it a push, and the car surged forward, not just a little, a lot! i tried to stop but only went faster, smashing into the concrete wall ahead of me, too fast to make the turn. my cars front end sustained 5000.00 in damages, undrivable. was in the shop for over a month. i was apprehensive about driving for a long time, only parked on the street with plenty of room. the accelerator still surges, but i've acclimated to the handling of the car to avoid other accidents, still a couple of times have been close. anyway, this was mentioned to my service dept at toyota and was told there were no reports of problems of this nature, that was in 2006. *tr

I have what would seem like a safety issue. the a/c condenser on my 2005 toyota corolla failed, after researching the issue toyota has issued a technical service bulletin indicating that the a/c condenser is not properly protected the number for this report is ac002-06. i live in south texas and this issue is a know problem but nothing has been done. *tr

Complaint on 2005 toyota corolla: "ecu" engine control unit. our 2005 corolla's ecu failed once at approx 40k miles (4k over warranty). the unit failed completely causing the car to lose power while driving. the car also shifted gears randomly when restarted, including shifting itself into reverse while in drive! we had to pay for a new unit as it was out of warranty. it was replaced with newer ecu (i think from an 06 corolla). however, now at 80k it just failed again (that's 40k on the ecu again). it failed while it was in drive, again causing a lose of power. once again we will have to pay to replace it. i've never filed a report before. but apparently this is a common problem. i was instructed by this website to file a report. http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/showthread.php?t=201631&page=4. *tr

I was driving my toyota corolla 2005 on the 395 highway, when i tried to pass a truck because the conductor was driving too slow, then when i press on the accelerator the car started to shift harder and i almost had an accident and i got force to get out from the highway spinning on the dirt, in a few seconds after that!, the check engine light came on, i was soo scared that i took the corolla to the dealer but they said that there was a malfunction with the computer and that the computer is not cover and that i have to pay for it because i"m over 80,000... but they knew about the problem already i just want to report this so you can do an investigation with the corolla computer, i don't think this is right that we have to pay for a computer!!! when they are the ones selling junk cars. i will never ever buy a toyota anymore now the cars they sell are junk and to dangerous for the other people on the road, hope that this problem won't happen to anyone and that you people check on that asap. the error code i got was p2716 and is a computer malfunction. thank you. *tr

The heater in our car was malfunctioning, it would take 15-20 minutes before it would get warm, we took it to the toyota dealership( roughly 03/31/2010 ) where we purchased it ( and they have done all the maintenance, oil changes, transmission flush, etc. ) they looked at the car and just said that it needed some coolant and that was it. the heater worked for just a couple days and then the heater began doing the same thing again. on the night of 04/17/2010 while driving home the engine got very hot all of the sudden, we pulled over and purchased some more coolant and put it in the car , drove the car home and then on monday 04/19/2010 we took it back in to have them look at it again and they said that there is a crack right down the middle of the engine block and that is why the coolant keeps draining. they told us we need to have the engine replaced. it is a 2005 corolla with only 79,000 miles on it. we were 4,000 miles past our extended warranty. they said since they haven't seen this before that they would give us brand new engine but we would have to pay $ 2274.00 for labor and a thermostat. it is currently at tony divino toyota in riverdale , utah being repaired. *tr

2005 corolla le purchased in sept 2005. was going home today from work. i was driving slow (thx god) because of traffic. when i tried to slow down when seeing a car in front on me, the brakes won't respond. i pushed the brakes couple times but it won't slow down. so i rear ended a truck. my car front end is in pretty bad shape but since it wasn't at a high speed the frame seems to be ok. of course the truck infront of me barely has a scratch. *tr

The symptom of problem presents itself while driving all of a sudden i will lose power and the car sputters and chugs. today, for instance, i was driving 65mph on the highway, and i lost power and nearly was rear ended and i tried to navigate across traffic to get to the side of the road. sometimes the car will just stall and completely go dead and other times i can try and tap the gas pedal a few times to try and get it through the chugging. also - while driving the tachometer is jumping all over the place. it has stalled while i was waiting at a red light. it stalls/loses power at any speed or if i'm stopped. i've taken it to three places and all three say the ecm is bad is needs to be replaced. when i called the toyota dealership they would not cover the replacement because my 2005 toyota corolla has 90k miles on it and they'll only cover it if it has 80k miles or less (8yr or 80k miles - whichever comes first).. *tr
