2007 Toyota Corolla Problems

Air bag lights is on all the time, tried to re-attached the connection under passenger seat still same issue

Airbag light appeared on 1/29/24 next to engine light.

Uncontrolled maximum acceleration after shifting into gear. Occurred after shifting gears such as parking. It represents a definite safety issue. There is no warning of occurrence. It has happened about 6 times in the past 4 years. I do not drive often. I contacted Toyota who referred me to the dealer. I had it checked by the Toyota dealer, who denied there is a problem. I would welcome a independent inspection. I have notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in April but have heard nothing from them since.

The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated that after starting the vehicle, there was an intermittent unintended acceleration without the accelerator pedal being depressed. No warning light was illuminated. The contact depressed the brake pedal, and the vehicle was able to be stopped. The vehicle was taken to an unknown dealer, but no cause for the failure was found. The dealer replaced the floor mats. The contact stated that the failure recurred intermittently. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 23,000.

The ECM is bad. Shuts off when driving or will not start for hours after you drive for a while and shut off.

I saw that there is a recall on some of these vehicles for losing power while driving. This had happened to my car a couple times

Odometer Fraud. The contact's aunt purchased a 2007 Toyota Corolla. It was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 180,000, and at the time of registration, it was discovered that the mileage was 195,000.

The car wouldn’t break a few months back causing it to smash into the person infront of me ever since then and getting repaired nothing has fixed it.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES WERE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE CONTACT HAD TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH EXTREME FORCE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CAR SPOT (5959 BOULDER HWY, LAS VEGAS, NV 89122, (702) 454-4500) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR BRAKE DRUMS AND ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 187,000.

MY STEERING WHEEL HAS LOCKED ON ME A COUPLE OF TIMES IT JUST DID IT AGAIN AS I WAS ON A RED LIGHT ALSO AS I WAS PARKING. CAN U LET ME KNOW ANY INFO. MY NUMBER IS [XXX]. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

CAR PULLED SUDDENLY IN OPPOSITE DIRECTION ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHEN MAKING TURNS AT REASONABLE SPEEDS. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, CAR PULLED FORCEFULLY TO THE RIGHT WHEN BREAKING. ACCIDENTS WERE AVOIDED IN ALL INSTANCES, EVEN THOUGH THE CAR SPUN OUT OF CONTROL MOMENTARILY. BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALER THREE TIMES AND THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE PROBLEM. AS THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT AND UNPREDICTABLE, THEY WERE UNABLE TO PICK IT UP ON TEST DRIVES. REPLACED FRONT TIRES, HAD BRAKES CHECKED, BUT HAPPENED AGAIN. JUST HAD THE REAR TIRES REPLACED AND ALIGNMENT DONE, BUT REALLY FEEL THAT THE PROBLEM IS IN THE STEERING. HOW CAN I BE SURE THE CAR IS SAFE?

STARTED CAR THIS MORNING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK TO PARTS STORE AND HOOKED IT UP TO THE COMPUTER AND FOUND CODES (P2401, P043E, P043F, P2402, P2419) EVERYTHING I HAVE RESEARCHED COMES BACK TO EVAP CANISTER FAILURE, AND POSSIBLE WIRING FAILURE. MORE RESEARCH SHOWS THESE ISSUES CAUSING PEOPLE GETTING STRANDED AND OTHERS WITH NO PROBLEM OTHER THEN LIGHT, AND OTHERS WITH A STRONG GAS SMELL. IF THIS CAUSES A GAS SMELL, THEN A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD IS FORMED.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC & HE SAID THE GAS CAP WASN'T ON TIGHT ENOUGH. THAT WORKED FOR A COUPLE MONTHS BEFORE THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. SO THE NEXT STEP WE REPLACED THE GAS CAP & A WEEK LATER IT CAME BACK ON. THE MECHANIC NOW SAYS IT'S THE FUEL TANK NEEDS REPLACED.

The vehicle was towed to a collision center. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 120,000.

ON WED OCT 23 I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN THE MIDDLE LANE. THE WEATHER WAS PERFECT, NO RAIN, CLEAR BLUE SKIES AND ABOUT 70 DEGREES. IT WAS APPRX 12:00 PM (MID-DAY). OUT OF NOWHERE I HEARD A LOUD BAND ON TOP OF MY ROOF AND GLASS STARTED FLYING OFF THE BACK OF MY CAR. I PULLED OVER TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED AND THERE WAS A HUGE HOLE IN THE MIDDLE OF MY SUNROOF AND THE REST OF THE GLASS AROUND IT IS SHATTERED. IT WAS SUCH A BIZARRE EXPERIENCE I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT WOULD HAVE CAUSE THIS. IT WAS LIKE THE SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED FOR NO REASON. THEN ON OCTOBER 25 I SAW AN ARTICLE THAT A LOT OF KIA'S SUNROOFS HAD BEEN EXPLODING! THAT IS NO COINCIDENCE. I KNOW MY CAR IS A TOYOTA, NOT A KIA, BUT THE SUNROOF EXPLODED OUT OF NOWHERE AND THE ARTICLE SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. FORTUNATELY I HAD THE FLAP CLOSED SO THERE WAS NO INJURY TO ME. PLEASE HELP WITH THIS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT AND I WOULDN'T WANT TO PAY $800 FOR A DEFECTIVE WINDOW! I HAVE PICTURES OF MY WINDOW FROM THE DAY IT HAPPENED. I ALSO HAVE A CLAIM FROM MY INSURANCE CO. *TR

AS I APPROACHED TRAFFIC LIGHTS, I HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKES AS YELLOW LIGHT WAS ON BUT THE CAR WAS STILL ACCELERATING. EVEN AFTER THE BRAKES WERE COMPLETELY APPLIED, IT WENT FORWARD. TO MY BAD, IT WAS A SNOWY DAY IN MY PLACE AND MY CAR SKIDDED IN TO THE LEFT TURN LANE, GOT CRASHED IN TO THE OTHER CAR. MY CAR'S FRONT BUMPER, HEAD LIGHTS AND COUPLE OF OTHER PARTS WERE REPLACED FOR WHICH I HAVE SPENT $500 OUT OF MY POCKET AND THE REMAINING AMOUNT WAS PAID BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO INJURIES TO ME, MY 7 MONTH PREGNANT WIFE AND THE OTHER CAR DRIVER. OBVIOUSLY MY INSURANCE PREMIUM GOT INCREASED, MY DRIVING HISTORY WAS AFFECTED AND CAR VALUE IS DECREASED DUE TO ACCIDENT HISTORY. MY CAR TIRES AND BRAKES WERE IN PERFECT CONDITION WHEN THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED. NOW I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR ESPECIALLY WHEN IT APPROACHES TRAFFIC LIGHTS I FEEL EXTREMELY NERVOUS. WHENEVER I RECOLLECT THIS BAD MOMENT I FEEL DEPRESSED. PLEASE LOOK INTO THE ISSUE. REQUESTING TOYOTA TO DO THE NEEDFUL TO REMOVE SUCH DEFECTS FROM THEIR VEHICLES. *TR

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING FROM HOUSTON TO AUSTIN ON US 290. JUST WEST OF PAIGE, TX. SHE EXPERIENCED SOME VIBRATION THAT SHE ATTRIBUTED TO CONSTRUCTION BUT BEFORE SHE COULD SLOW DOWN SHE EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN BLOWOUT OF THE FRONT LEFT TIRE WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH.

EXTENSIVE DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE FENDER AND WHEEL WELL LINER AND ADDITIONAL DAMAGE WAS DONE TO TH FRONT BUMPER, AND HOOD. THE SIDE AIR DAM WAS COMPLETELY TORN OFF. *JS

PURCHASED USED 2007 COROLLA. (PURCHASED AS IS NO WARRANTY FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP) ONE WEEK LATER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND AFTER CHECKING WITH DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM (EZAUTO) AND TRANSMISSION SHOP I GOT CONFLICTING REPORTS OF WHAT WAS WRONG SO I TOOK IT DIRECTLY TO TOYOTA AND THEY SAID I HAVE TO HAVE NEW TRANSMISSION. IS THIS COVERED UNDER SOME EXTENDED WARRANTY OR AM I RESPONSIBLE FOR GETTING IT FIXED? *KB

I DRIVE A 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA S AUTOMATIC. I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW & HAD ABOUT 72,000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. I HAD NOTICED FOR A FEW WEEKS THAT MY CAR WAS SHIFTING INTO REVERSE QUITE ROUGHLY, DELAYED & JERKING. I FIGURED I WOULD GET IT CHECKED AT MY NEXT OIL CHANGE. WHILE I WAS STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION WAITING TO TURN LEFT, MY CAR STALLED. I STEPPED ON THE PEDAL TO ACCELERATE BUT IT JUST REVVED MY CAR & WOULDN'T GO. I TRIED SWITCHING INTO REVERSE WITH THE SAME RESULT. THEN I RESTARTED MY CAR A COUPLE TIMES UNTIL IT FINALLY STARTED MOVING AGAIN. I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE SO I KEPT DRIVING. UNFORTUNATELY, AS I DROVE ON, THE CAR JUST DECELERATED AND STALLED AGAIN. AT THAT POINT, I CALLED A TOW TRUCK. MY CAR WAS TAKEN TO REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE DIAGNOSTIC WAS ECM ISSUES & TRANSMISSION FAILURE. MY MECHANIC CALLED TOYOTA TO GET THE ECM REPLACED & MY TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REBUILT. *KB

2007 TOYOTA COROLLA EXPERIENCING THROTTLE SURGING. *KB THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE TOOK OFF SUDDENLY. HE APPLIED THE BRAKE AS HARD AS HE COULD, BUT BEFORE THE VEHICLE STOPPED IT CRASHED INTO A HEAVY TOOL BOX AND SOME OTHER CONTAINERS AND INTO THE BACK WALL OF THE GARAGE. THE BUMPER WAS DAMAGED. THE SECOND TIME, WHILE BACKING OUT OF THE GARAGE, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY TOOK OFF AGAIN. HE IMMEDIATELY APPLIED THE BRAKE FORCEFULLY, BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP BEFORE HE REACHED THE STREET. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE. THE THIRD TIME, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SURGED FORWARD IN THE MIDST OF STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS SPACE BETWEEN IT AND THE CAR AHEAD, SO HE WAS ABLE TO STOP BEFORE CONTACT. THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED HE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE DOOR AND IGNITION. HE HAD FOUR DIFFERENT BATTERIES IN THE VEHICLE SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED. HE WAS TOLD THAT THE FIRST TWO HAD BAD CELLS IN THEM. *JB

I LEASED THIS TOYOTA COROLLA CE IN MAY 2007 (NEW) & SINCE THAT FIRST DAY THE DRIVER'S SEAT CONSTANTLY MOVES OUT OF POSITION 1/2 INCH OR MORE IN ALL DIRECTIONS.. EVERY TIME I GET IN TO THE CAR I HAVE TO RE-ADJUST THE SEAT & I CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHY THIS HAPPENS.. I HOPE NO ONE EVER HITS ME IN THE REAR BECAUSE THE SEAT WILL MOVE IN SOME DIRECTION & OUT OF ALIGNMENT WITH THE AIR BAG IF THAT EVEN OPENS.. I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY OWNER WITH THIS PROBLEM UNTIL I JUST READ ANOTHER COMPLAINT FOR THE SAME ISSUE ON THE SAME VEHICLE.. I HAVE FILED 4 LEMON LAW COMPLAINTS ON THIS VEHICLE FOR VARIOUS ISSUES INCLUDING THE TIRES & TOYOTA CLAIMS THESE COMPLAINTS ARE ALL THE RESULT OF 'DESIGN FLAWS' & REFUSES TO FIX ANY OF THE COMPLAINTS & PASSES THE TIRE PROBLEM OFF TO GOODYEAR WHO THEN PASSES THE PROBLEM BACK TO TOYOTA.. THIS VEHICLE IS THE WORSE CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED AND IS A DEATH TRAP EVEN THE SEAT BELTS DON'T WORK CORRECTLY.. *TR
