- ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLINGCampaign 10V384000 · 26/08/2010
TOYOTA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005-2008 COROLLA AND COROLLA MATRIX VEHICLES. THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) FOR THE SUBJECT MODELS EQUIPPED WITH THE 1ZZ-FE ENGINE AND TWO-WHEEL DRIVE MAY HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY MANUFACTURED. THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT A CRACK MAY DEVELOP AT CERTAIN SOLDER POINTS OR ON VARISTORS ON THE CIRCUIT BOARD.

THE ENGINE WARNING LAMP COULD BE ILLUMINATED, HARSH SHIFTING COULD RESULT, THE ENGINE MAY NOT START, OR THE ENGINE COULD SHUT OFF WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN. AN ENGINE SHUTOFF WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN INCREASES THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Fix: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE PRODUCTION NUMBER OF THE ECM AND REPLACE THE ECM IF NECESSARY. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. TOYOTA WILL MAIL AN INTERIM OWNER NOTIFICATION THE MIDDLE OF SEPTEMBER 2010 TO ADVISE OWNERS OF THIS DEFECT AND RECALL.

2007 TOYOTA COROLLA SUDDENLY STALLED. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM IT APPEARS TO BE A BAD ECM WHICH APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR TOYOTA COROLLAS BETWEEN THE YEARS 05 2005-2007. THIS IS POTENTIALLY A DANGEROUS SITUATION SINCE THE CAR JUST DIES. MANY FORUMS HAVE STATED THAT THEY WERE FORTUNATE THAT THEY WERE NOT REAR ENDED. SINCE THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, TOYOTA SHOULD RECALL THIS ITEM AND AVOID POTENTIAL HARM TO THE CONSUMER. *TR

1- AN UNDETECTABLE EVENT CAUSED A SMALL HOLE IN THE FUEL LINE OF A TOYOTA COROLLA. THE AIR IN THE GARAGE WHERE THE CAR WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT WAS PERMEATED WITH THE ODOR OF GASOLINE, AND INTRODUCED THE REAL POSSIBILITY OF AN EXPLOSION. 2- THE FAILURE IS A WEAKNESS IN THE STRENGTH AND DURABILITY OF THE FUEL LINE OF TOYOTA COROLLAS. THE FUEL LINE HAD A SMALL PUNCTURE AND FILLED THE CONFINED AREA WITH GASOLINE VAPOR. 3 - TOYOTA REQUIRED A REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL LINE AND GAS TANK, CLAIMING THAT A RODENT CHEWED THROUGH THE FUEL LINE. THE NEW GAS TANK HAS THE SAME DESIGN FLAWS AND WEAKNESSES AS THE OLD GAS TANK AND CAN EASILY BE PUNCTURED. FUEL LINE PROBLEMS HAVE HAPPENED IN MORE THAN ONE TOYOTA COROLLA THAT THE COMPANY HAS OWNED; ONE OF WHICH BURST INTO FLAMES. (THESE ARE TO BE THE SUBJECTS OF SEPARATE COMPLAINTS.) THAT A RODENT (OR ANY OTHER INSIGNIFICANT CAUSE) MAY DAMAGE A FUEL LINE IN THIS WAY IS A SERIOUS WEAKNESS THAT PRESENTS A CLEAR DANGER TO ANYONE OWNING AND DRIVING THIS CAR. TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE OR ESCALATE THIS AS A PROBLEM TO MANAGEMENT.

TOKATA RECALL IN AUGUST 2015 TOYOTA INFORMED ME THAT MY COROLLA WAS PART OF THE RECALL PROGRAM TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS WHICH WERE SUBJECT TO SPEWING SHRAPNEL WHEN DISCHARGED. I WENT TO THE LOCAL DEALER TO GET THE REPLACEMENT COMPLETED, SHOWING THEM THE NOTICE I RECEIVED. THE DEALER, SMART TOYOTA (563.388.6880) INFORMED ME THAT THE REPLACEMENT PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE YET, AND THAT I SHOULD RECEIVE ANOTHER LETTER WHEN THE THE PARTS WERE ON HAND AND COULD BE INSTALLED. I CHECKED WITH THEM AGAIN ON 9 OCTOBER TO LEARN WHETHER THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. I RECEIVED THE SAME ANSWER AS I DID IN AUGUST AT MY INITIAL VISIT: THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE YET AND THAT I WOULD RECEIVE A LETTER INFORMING ME WHEN THEY WERE. TODAY IS 24 DECEMBER, AND I STILL HAVEN'T RECEIVED THAT LETTER. IN THE MEANTIME, I AM DRIVING AROUND IN A CAR WITH AIRBAGS THAT COULD STRAFE ME WITH SHRAPNEL SHOULD I BE IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE RESPONSE TO A POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING DEFECT. I FEEL THAT PERHAPS I SHOULD HAVE THE AIRBAGS REMOVED OR DISABLED UNTIL THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE, AND TO RELY ON THE SAFETY BELTS FOR CRASH PROTECTION. WHAT IS THE NHTSA POSITION ON THIS ISSUE?

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, IT IS MORE LIKE A QUESTION ABOUT MY CONCERN ABOUT A COMMON MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. I DO NOT HAVE SERIOUS ISSUE AT THIS TIME BUT I GOT SOME ALARMING SIGN ON MY VEHICLE THAT I AM AFRAID IT COMES BACK. I HAVE NOTICED TONS OF COMPLAINT ONLINE ABOUT TOYOTA COROLLA 2007 GIVING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WITH THE CODE P0741, YOU CAN ALREADY FIND IT ONLINE AND MANY OF THE OWNER SEEMS TO BE FRUSTRATED ABOUT THIS ISSUE. IN MANY CASES CAR DOES NOT HAVE ANY ISSUE BUT THE LIGHT COMES AND GO, SPECIALLY WITH THE S MODEL. IT INCLUDES CARS WITH 50,000 MILES AND ABOVE. THE NUMBER OF CASES SEEMS TO BE SIGNIFICANT AND TOYOTA DEALERS SEEM TO OFFER TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY THE PRICE OF THE CAR. I HAVE SEEN A RECALL FOR 2005 AND 006 COROLLA FOR COMPUTER CHANGE WITH SIMILAR ERROR CODE BUT WITH THIS HIGH NUMBER OF COMPLAINT, I COULD NOT FIND ANY RECALL FOR COROLLA 2007. THE CODE IS MOST OFTEN READ AS SOLENOID ISSUE WHILE TOYOTA DEALERS SUGGESTED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION IN ALL CASES(BASED ON REVIEWS). I BELIEVE YOU MAY NEED TO LOOK INTO IT AS IT IS QUIET FREQUENT AND MAY CAUSE SAFETY ISSUE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMPUTER OR ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL. (BUT TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION GENERALLY COULD CAUSE SERIOUS ISSUE ON THE ROAD OR HIGHWAYS) PLEASE LET ME KNOW ABOUT YOUR OPINION ON THIS MATTER. (I THOUGHT MAYBE YOU ARE ALSO INVESTIGATING A COMMON MANUFACTURER DEFECT, I WAS NOT SURE WHERE I SHOULD REPORT THIS MATTER) THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION

- 12/14/2010· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
IN MARCH 2007, I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW TOYOTA COROLLA. MORE THAN THREE MONTHS AGO MY CAR STARTED HAVING MAJOR PROBLEMS WHEN I TRY TO TURN TO CAR ON. FIRST THE CAR ENGINE DID NOT TURN ON RIGHT AWAY, SO I HAD TO KEEP TRYING TO TURN IT ON, THEN THE CAR DID NOT TURN ON AT ALL. I GOT STOCK AT THE SUPERMARKET PARKING LOT ONE DAY BECAUSE THE CAR WAS DEAD. I TOOK IT TO HAVE A BATTERY CHECK AND THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE BATTERIES OF THE CAR WAS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, SO THE PROBLEM WAS THE ENGINE OF THE CAR. COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER, I RECEIVED A LETTER BY TOYOTA EXPLAINING ME THAT THEY RECALLED MY CAR WITH A MAJOR PROBLEM IN THE ENGINE, THE LETTER STATED THAT I NEEDED TO BE CAREFUL BECAUSE MY CAR ENGINE CAN TURN OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALER TO HAVE THEN CHECK THE CAR, AND THEY DID NOT EVEN TOUCH MY CAR, THEY TOLD ME THAT WHEN MY CAR TURN OFF AGAIN, TO CALL THEM OR HAVE MY CAR TOLL TO THEIR PLACE. TWO DAYS AFTER I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE CAR STARTED HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. IT MAKES A WEAR SOUND WHEN I PUT MY KEYS IN THE ENGINE AND TRY TO TURN THE CAR ON. I TAKE ANY TRIES BEFORE THE CAR TURN ON, SO I CALLED TOYOTAS CORPORATE NUMBER AND THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND IT DID IT; HOWEVER, THEY DID NOT EVEN TOUCH MY CAR. THEY LEAVED PARKED ON A SIDE OF THE LOT AND THEY WAITED MORE THAN TWO HOURS TO TELL ME AGAIN THAT I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE CAR DOES NOT TURN ON AGAIN SO THEY CAN TAKE A LOOK OF THE ENGINE. THEY TOLD ME THAT TOYOTA IS WORKING ON A RESOLUTION FOR MY PROBLEM AND BY THE END OF NOVEMBER, I WILL GET A SECOND LETTER FROM TOYOTA STATING THE SOLUTION FOR THE PROBLEM AND TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP SO THEY CAN FIX IN. TODAY IS DECEMBER 14, 2010 AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY OTHER COMMUNICATION FROM TOYOTA. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN MY CAR BECAUSE I HAVE TO KIDS AND I'M AFRAID THAT SOMETHING CAN HAPPEN TO US WHILE I AM DRIVING MY UNSAFE CAR. I REQUEST AN ACTION FROM TOYOTA BECAUSE I AM PAYING FOR A CAR THAT I AM NOT USING. *TR

HAD BEEN DRIVING MY CAR FOR 10 MINUTES WHEN THE LIGHTS STARTED TO FLICKER. I STARTED TO SLOW AND THEN THE CAR DIED. THERE WASN'T ANY POWER AND I WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE CAR. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS VERY LIGHT TRAFFIC AT 0613 AND NO ONE HIT MY CAR. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. MY PARENTS ARRIVED WITHIN 15 MINUTES. MY DAD CLEANED THE BATTERY TERMINALS AND THE BATTERY DID SPARK. CAR WOULD NOT RESTART. A FEW PEOPLE HELPED US PUSH THE CAR OFF THE ROAD. TOWED TO CLOSEST, REPUTABLE, MECHANIC. MAIN FUSIBLE LINK BLOWN. WIRING W/O RATING. MECHANIC CALLED TOYOTA AND THERE WASN'T ANY LITERATURE AVAILABLE TO GIVE MECHANIC THE RATING. TOYOTA REFUSED TO SEND WIRING DIAGRAM. MECHANIC FOUND ONLINE AND STILL NO INFO ON RATING. REPLACED WITH HEAVIEST RATING AVAILABLE. PROBLEM FIXED AND UNABLE TO DUPLICATE WHAT CAUSED PROBLEM. MOST CONCERNING IS THAT MECHANIC CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. CAR THEN TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THEY WERE ALSO UNABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM AND CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS MOST UNHELPFUL, IMPLYING THAT I HAD SOMEHOW CAUSED THE PROBLEM. ALSO, INDICATED THAT I SHOULD HAVE GONE TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FIRST. CAR NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY SO I HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO DO GO TO THEM FOR SERVICE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE RPMS DROPPED AND THERE WAS A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER. I HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR HAD APPROX. 19,500 MILES ON IT. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE COMPUTER MODULE AND THE FUEL PUMP. FOUR DAYS LATER THE CAR DIED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING AND I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED A SECOND TIME AND THE DEALER REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND GASKET. THE CAR HAS 26,000 MILES ON IT NOW AND HAS NOT REPEATED THIS INCIDENT. NEEDLESS TO SAY, MY PERCEPTION OF QUALITY IS NEGATIVE. *TR
