2000 Toyota Corolla Problems

2000 TOYOTA COROLLA BURNING EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL. I'M HAVING TO ADD A QUART EVERYTIME I PUT GAS IN. I DRIVE FROM DESTINATION TO DESTINATION FOR WORK AND HAVING TO OIL IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS THE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON UNTIL IT IS EMPTY.

2000 TOYOTA COROLLA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED, FOLLOWED BY HEAVY SMOKE POURING FROM UNDERNEATH HOOD AND NOTICED RADIATOR CAP WAS MISSING DUE TO A NEGLIGENT ACT BY AN ESTABLISHMENT WHO SERVICED HIS VEHICLE.. *LD THE RADIATOR CAP WAS NOT SECURED AFTER HAVING AN OIL CHANGE. TWO INDEPENDENT MECHANICS STATED THE HEAD GASKET WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED AND THE ENGINE BLOCK WAS WARPED AND A COMPLETE ENGINE REPLACEMENT WAS NEEDED AS A DIRECT RESULT OF NEGLECTING TO PLACE THE RADIATOR CAP BACK ON THE RADIATOR. *JB

TAKATA RECALL: I DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT MY AIRBAGS AND I'M TRYING TO FIND OUT IF MY CAR WAS EVER RECALLED FOR DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS. TOYOTA WILL ONLY TELL ME IF THE CAR IS UNDER A RECALL PRESENTLY. IF IT EVER WAS, THE NOTICE MIGHT HAVE BEEN SENT TO THE PREVIOUS OWNER THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM IN 2001. IF THERE EVER WAS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS, DOESN'T TOYOTA STILL NEED TO REPLACE THEM??

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V286000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, THE RECALL PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I PURCHASED A USED 2000 TOYOTA COROLLA FROM A DEALERSHIP IN THE AREA IN APRIL 2013 - I FOUND THAT WHEN DRIVING IN EXCESS OF 65 MPH, THE CAR STARTED SHAKING AND CONTROLLING IT WAS DIFFICULT - IS THERE A POSSIBLE RECALL OF THIS YEAR/MAKE/MODEL THAT WAS NEVER FIXED? *TR

IT APPEARS AS IF THE STEERING WHEEL IS NOT IN PROPER CONTROL AND VEHICLE SEEMS TO WANDER AT HIGHER SPEEDS. WHEN MAKING TURN, AT TIMES THE VEHICLE WILL TURN A LOT AND SOMETIMES IT WOULD TURN IN LOT LESSER I.E. I WOULD NOT HAVE PROPER JUDGMENT OF HOW MUCH VEHICLE WOULD TURN AND THIS BECOMES VERY MUCH EVIDENT WHEN MAKING TURN AT SLIGHTLY HIGHER SPEEDS THEN 30-35 MILES/HOUR.. I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING MY DEALER AND MY AUTO MECHANICS HAD SUGGESTED LIKE CHANGING THE TIRES TWICE , REPLACING ROTOR, BRAKE PADS, GETTING ALIGNMENT DONE ETC. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS COMPLAINT. *TR

WHEN TRAVELING IN RAIN OR ON WET ROADS SUCH AS I-95, STEERING, AIR CONDITIONING, ALTERNATOR AND BRAKES FAIL. APPARENTLY WATER ON THE POWER BELT CAUSES IT TO SLIP AND RENDERS THE COMPONENTS TO BE INOPERATIVE UNTIL THE WATER IS REMOVED. THIS HAS CAUSED MANY CLOSE CALLS SUCH AS MAKING A LEFT TURN ONTO ANOTHER STREET AND LOSING THE STEERING WHEN HALF WAY THROUGH THE TURN HEADING ME TO PEDESTRIANS ON THE SIDEWALK. AT THE SAME TIME THE AIR CONDITIONER/DEFROSTER QUITS AND THE WINDSHIELD FOGS UNTIL THE A/C IS MANUALLY RESET. ADDING TO THE PROBLEM . I REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO THE SERVICE MANAGER WHO REPLIED THAT HE HAD NEVER HEAR OF A SIMILAR PROBLEM AND THAT HE WOULD CHECK FOR INFORMATION WITH TOYOTA AND GET BACK TO ME, SIX MONTHS AGO HE NEVER DID. I BELIEVE A RECORD OF THIS MALFUNCTIONING COMPONENT SHOULD BE MADE AS I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT OTHER COROLLA OWNERS DO NOT HAVE THE SAME DANGEROUS PROBLEM. DT
