TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED SHE HAD THE HUBCAPS REPLACED AROUND 10 TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LOCAL DEALER PARKWAY TOYOTA OF BOSTON (1605 VFW PKWY, WEST ROXBURY, MA 02132: (617) 865-8466) AND WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
DRIVER SIDE FRONT WHEEL BEARING HAS BEEN REPLACED EVERY YEAR. THE PROBLEM STARTED IN 2015. THEY WILL NOT EVEN LAST FULL YEAR. NOW AS OF CURRENT 5/27/2020 TODAY HAD TO REPLACE THE DRIVER SIDE WHEEL BEARING AGAIN. THIS RIDICULOUS. HAS COST LOTS OF MONEY. MAYBE SOMEBODY SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE. STARTS MAKING A GRINDING NOISE AT 35MPH AND CONTINUES TO GET LOUDER LONGER YOU DRIVE IT. BUT IT DOES NOT OCCUR WHEN YOU ARE STOPPED. *TR
FLAT TIRE. VEHICLE CAME WITH TOYOTA ALUMINUM OR NON-STEEL RIMS. SUPPLIED, LUG NUT WRENCH DOES NOT FIT LUG NUTS. COULD NOT INSTALL SPARE TIRE. THIS COULD BE A PROBLEM IN A BLOWOUT OR IF THE NAIL CAME OUT OF THE TIRE, ESPECIALLY IN NO CELL PHONE AREAS(NO BARS). GOT A 22MM SOCKET BUT IT IS LOOSE, 21MM DOES NOT FIT.
ON A RAINY OCTOBER 28, 2012 SUNDAY, I WAS TRAVELING ON RTE. 73, IN MOORSETOWN, NJ AND I ATTEMPTED TO GET OFF 73 AND GO DOWN THE RTE. 295 N RAMP. AS I WENT DOWN THE RAMP, I PUT ON MY BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT FELT LIKE MY CAR WAS FLYING. THE BRAKES LOCKED UP, THE CAR SPUN AROUND AND CRASHED INTO THE CURB SO HARD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, THAT IT TOTALED THE BACK AND FRONT RIMS OF MY TIRES. THEN ONCE I THANKED GOD FOR NOT LETTING THERE BE ANY CARS AROUND ME AND LETTING ME BE ALRIGHT, THEN I ATTEMPTED TO MOVE THE CAR. I BACKED THE CAR UP A LITTLE BIT THEN PRESSED DOWN ON BRAKE TO CHANGE GEAR INTO DRIVE AND TURNED STEERING WHEEL AWAY FROM CURB, AND MY CAR FLEW TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RAMP AND CRASHED INTO THE CURB ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE OF WHICH DAMAGED THE FRONT RIM ON THAT SIDE AND THROUGH ALL OF THIS THE AIR BAG NEVER EJECTED. I COULD KIND OF UNDERSTAND THAT IT WAS WET AND THE CAR HYDROPLANED BEFORE FIRST CRASH. BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW BEFORE THE CAR TOOK OFF THE SECOND TIME WHILE I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND BARELY MOVING, BRAKES WERE COMPLETELY LOCKED UP. AT THIS POINT I WAS SCARED TO MOVE THE CAR AGAIN, SO I JUST CUT THE CAR OFF AND SAT THERE FOR A WHILE, THEN TURNED IT BACK ON, THEN IT FELT LIKE BRAKES WERE ALRIGHT WHEN I PRESSED DOWN ON IT. I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM AND ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE BRAKES AND OF COURSE THEY SAID THAT IT WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM. AT THIS POINT AND TIME, I DO NOT TRUST THIS CAR, BUT I DO TRUST GOD TO KEEP ME SAFE IN THIS CAR OR ELSE I WOULDN'T EVEN DRIVE IT AFTER THAT EPISODE. I NEEDED TO GET 3 NEW RIMS, 1 TIRE, A HUB CAP AND WHEEL ALIGNMENT FOR MY CAR AND I JUST THANK GOD THAT THERE WAS NO OTHER DAMAGES. AND NOW I'M JUST WAITING ON THE LORD TO GIVE ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET A SUV AND IT WON'T BE A TOYOTA. *TR

2007 TOYOTA COROLLA STEEL RIM ISSUES. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS TWICE WITH THE STEEL RIMS ON MY CAR AND AM AFRAID THERE WILL BE MORE AS MY CAR AGES. THE RIMS RUST. I TURNED A CORNER TOO SHARP AND BARELY GRAZED THE CONCRETE, WHICH BENT THE WHEEL RIM AND CAUSED MY TIRE TO BLOW OUT, AND I HAD TO REPLACE THAT TIRE. NOW, I HIT A POTHOLE, AND ENTIRE WHEEL RIM BUCKLED, TORE MY TIRE TO BITS, AND IT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND A REPLACEMENT RIM FOR MY CAR. I COULD NOT LOCATE ONE ONLINE, COULD NOT GET A RETURN PHONE CALL FROM SAM SWOPE'S TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO TRY TO SEE IF THE PART COULD BE ORDERED, BUT I WAS ABLE TO GET ANOTHER DEALER TO SELL ME ONE AT A WHOPPING $141 INCLUDING TAX. I WAS DRIVING ON CITY STREETS WHEN I HIT THAT POTHOLE AND WAS GOING AT A SLOW SPEED. HAD THIS HAPPENED ON THE EXPRESSWAY, I'D BE DEAD. NOW THAT I LOOK AT ALL OF THE RIMS ON MY CAR, EVERY RIM IS BENT SOMEWHERE ALONG THE EDGES. THE METAL ON THESE RIMS IS OF THE POOREST QUALITY I HAVE EVER SEEN. I'D EXPECT STEEL TO HOLD UP BETTER THAN THIS, AND THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WHEN STEEL RIMS BUCKLE, DESTROY YOUR TIRE AND YOU CAN LOOSE CONTROL OF YOUR CAR. I AM ALSO AFRAID THAT THIS ISN'T' THE LAST OF MY PROBLEMS WITH THESE RIMS. I BELIEVE THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN, AND IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ANOTHER RIM FOR MY PARTICULAR CAR. I AM BEING TOLD BY EVERY JUNKYARD THAT MY CAR IS TOO NEW FOR THEM TO HAVE PARTS FOR IT. THE RIMS ARE ALSO UNAFFORDABLE IF YOU CAN FIND THEM. NOT ONLY DID I HAVE TO BUY THE RIM AT A COST OF $141, BUT I HAD TO PURCHASE ANOTHER TIRE AND PAY FOR MOUNTING AND BALANCING. SO, THE COST IS NOW OVER $200 TO FIX MY JUST HITTING A SMALL POTHOLE, AND LOUISVILLE, KY, IS LOADED WITH POTHOLES EVERYWHERE. IF THESE RIMS CONTINUE RUSTING, IS THAT GOING TO AFFECT MY BRAKING ABILITY TOO? *TR
IN 2007, I HAD PURCHASED A TOYOTA COROLLA LE. I HAD NOT NOTICED THIS PROBLEM UNTIL 2 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM LIES WITH THE AIRBAG NOT FLUSHED WITH THE DASHBOARD AND CREATES DIPS AND VALLEYS. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS SUNK INTO THE DASHBOARD. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE DEALER, THEY REPLACED THE AIRBAG AND TOLD ME TO LET IT SIT FOR A WHILE AND THE AIRBAG AND DASHBOARD WOULD ALIGN. HOWEVER, AFTER LETTING IT SIT FOR NEARLY TWO YEARS, IT IS STILL THE SAME CONDITION. ON ALMOST EVERY OIL CHANGE, I WOULD COMPLAIN ABOUT THE PROBLEM TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WOULD ADVISE ME TO GIVE IT SOME MORE TIME. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA CUSTOMER SATISFACTION DEPARTMENT AND THEY RESEARCHED THE CASE. IN THE END, THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER SATISFACTION DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAVE SOLD MANY 2007 COROLLA'S THAT ARE KNOWN TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG. THEY CANNOT GUARANTEE ME THAT BECAUSE THE AIRBAG SINKS INTO THE DASH, IT WILL DEPLOY WHEN IT NEEDS TO. *TR
MY 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA ACCELERATED DANGEROUSLY THREE TIMES . I PUT ON BRAKES WITH ALL MY MIGHT, PUT IT IN PARKED POSITION. NO DAMAGE TO ANYTHING, OR ANYONE, BUT THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION WAS SCARY. IT'S NOT AMONG THE RECALLED MODELS. I REMOVED THE TOYOTA FLOOR MAT FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I WILL GO BACK TO DEALER : I WANT THEM TO LOOK AT THE CAR'S COMPUTER. *TR
IT WAS NORMAL SUNNY DAY AND SMOOTH TRAFFIC I WAS DRIVING TOYOTA COROLLA(2007) ON I-295 NORTH IN NJ AND WAS ON LEFTMOST LANE @ AROUND 70 MPH IN HAMILTON AREA NEAR EXIT 65. THEN SUDDENLY IT WENT OUT OF CONTROL SPINNING AROUND ON HIGHWAY . IT WENT SPINNING FROM LEFT MOST LANE TO RIGHT SHOULDER SPINNING 2-3 TIMES . LUCKILY NO BODY WAS INJURED AND NO OTHER VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED BUT MY CAR HAD TO BE TOTALED I REQUESTED CAR COMPANY (TOYOTA) TO PROPERLY INSPECT THE VEHICLE IF IT HAD ANY ISSUES WITH SOFTWARE AND ALSO BRAKES AS THERE WAS NO REASON FOR SPINNING WHILE DRIVING AROUND 70MPH . CONSIDERING THE WAY CAR SPUN AT THAT TIME IT WAS EVIDENT LOCKING OF FRONT WHEELS SUDDENLY MAY BE THE ONE OF THE REASONS . COMPANY NEVER CONTACTED ME BACK AGAIN THEY HAD PROMISED TO GET BACK TO ME AFTER INSPECTION WAS DONE BY COMPANY INSPECTOR/ENGINEER. *TR
RUST ON ALL WHEELS GETTING WORSE AFTER 2 YRS. HAD TO HAVE THE ECU RESET SYSTEM REPLACED AT 16,912 MILES. *TR
AS OF THIS DATE THERE IS NO FAILURE BUT MY 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA'S WHEELS ARE RUSTING. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THESE WHEELS COULD BE MADE OF THE SAME STEEL THAT TOYOTA MADE THE TUNDRA'S FRAME OUT OF. I HAVE NOTICED SEVERAL OTHER COROLLA'S WITH THIS SAME RUSTY WHEEL ISSUE. I TRIED TO GET MY DEALER "CHAMPION TOYOTA" TO RESOLVE THIS BUT THEY REFUSE, MY CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. *TR
I JUST HAD THE FLOOR MAT ACCELERATION HAPPEN TO ME IN MY 2007 COROLLA. I WAS SLOWING DOWN FOR A RED LIGHT, SO MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE... THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED SO I THREW THE SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE MAT OUT FROM UNDER THE ACCELERATOR AND MY CAR CONTINUED TO SLIDE LIKE IT WAS ON ICE AND THEN CAME TO A STOP. *TR
I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A FORMAL COMPLAINT ABOUT MY 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA. I PURCHASED MY CAR IN JANUARY 2007. I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE. THE IS A VIBRATION I FEEL COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. MY CAR STOPPED ON THE LI EXPRESSWAY DUE TO 2 SENSORS THAT NO LONGER WORKED. THERE IS A SHAKING IN MY TIRES & EVERY TIME I TURN MY CAR ON THERE IS A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. *TR
IN MARCH, 2007, I HAD AN ACCIDENT. THE REAR END OF THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY BROKEN. I THOUGHT IT WAS TOTALED. SAFECO HAD IT REPAIRED. THE TRUNK DOES NOT STAY SECURE, I AM CONTINUOUSLY TAKING MY VEHICLE TO THE BODY SHOP FOR REPAIRS TO THE BODY. THE BODY PARTS JUST POP IN (PLASTIC) AND THE TRUNK LID DOES NOT STAY SHUT. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED, AS WELL AS IT BEING VERY DANGEROUS WHEN I AM RIDING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE TRUNK'S LID FLOPS OPEN, CAUSING BLIND VISIBILITY . *TR
THE JACK THAT WAS DELIVERED WITH MY 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA COLLAPSED TWICE WHILE I WAS CHANGING A TIRE. THE FRONT FENDER WAS DAMAGED WHILE IT BOUNCED ONTO THE TIRE. IT WAS LUCKY THAT I WAS NOT INJURED. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND WAS TOLD THAT THE INCIDENT WAS RECORDED AT ITS NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS UNDER FILE #200710110662 AND WAS TOLD TO CONTACT THE LOCAL DEALER TO RESOLVE THE ISSUES. THE DEALER ORDERED A NEW JACK AND COMPARED IT SIDE BY SIDE WITH THE DEFECTIVE JACK IN THE NORMALLY RAISED POSITION AND DETERMINED THAT IT WAS UNSTABLE. THE JACK WAS REPLACED AND THE FENDER DAMAGE RESULTED FROM THE COLLAPSED JACK WAS ALSO REPLACED BY THE DEALER UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. IT IS LIKELY THAT THE SAME BATCH OF JACKS COULD HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND COULD CAUSE SIMILAR COLLAPSES THAT CAN CAUSE INJURY TO USERS. *TR
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
