2007 Toyota Corolla Complaint Log

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.

I was driving down the street and all of a sudden I couldn't accelerate. I pulled over and I turned off the car and then tried restarting it but it wouldn't. It said on the gear shift it was in park, but come to find out, my gear shift bushing broke while I was driving. I KNOW I'm not the only driver this has happened to either in the year, make and model.

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.

Vehicle keeps stalling while driving if stopped at a light or stop sign or if mrps drop to low engine shuts off lights flicker and no check engine light has come on.

Me chocaron mi carro lo lleve para que me lo arreglaran y se lo llevaron alos angeles ca me dieron una direccion donde dicen que lo tienen esta en una casa abandonada [XXX] pero tengo miedo arrimarme ya que temo por mi seguridad INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

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

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.

The contact owned a 2007 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle made an abnormal sound when the brake pedal was depressed. The contact stated that she came to a complete stop at a traffic light, and when she lifted her foot off the brake pedal, the vehicle sporadically accelerated. The vehicle crashed into another vehicle. The air bags deployed. The contact did not sustain injuries. The vehicle was deemed totaled by the insurance company. A police report was not filled. 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.

The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Matrix. The contact stated while driving approximately 45 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that several unknown warning lights started flashing and the RPM gauge fluctuated from a low RPM to high RPM. The contact stated that he pulled over and attempted to restart the vehicle. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to restart. The contact had a voltmeter and checked the battery and noticed that the battery was low on charge. The contact had recently installed a new battery. The contact jump started the vehicle and was able to shift into drive (D) however, the vehicle was hesitating and not responsive while depressing the accelerator pedal. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent but had become a recurring failure. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a local dealer or independent mechanic. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The contact had requested vehicle history from the manufacturer and determined that the Electronic Control Unit had been replaced in 2011 under NHTSA Campaign Number: 10V384000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The failure mileage was approximately 131,000.

bought this vehicle with 112000 on it transmission went out 127000 with no warning

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

I received a notification that our car had been recalled, so I made an appointment with Deluca Toyota in Ocala to have the recalled items only fixed. After they had the call for an hour and a half they tried to force me to have the Serpentine belt replaced. We just had the serpentine belt replaced a few thousand miles ago and it was fine when we brought our car in for an airbag recall. They didn't fix the airbag, because we wouldn't pay for them to replace our serpentine belt....that does not need to be replaced again this soon. Serpentine belts last about 100,000 miles so at 2-3 thousand miles it is fine. Toyota is a bunch of lying thieves.

The contact's roommate owns a 2007 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated while at 62 MPH, a deer inadvertently crashed on the front of the vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated they veered to the side of the road. A police report was filed. The contact sought medical assistance the next day and was advised she sustained seat belt burns on the chest and knee injuries. The contact's roommate sustained neck injuries and sought medical assistance. The vehicle was towed to a tow lot. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The approximate failure mileage was unknown.

The contact's mother owned a 2007 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated that while his mother was driving at approximately 35 - 45 MPH, she rear-ended another vehicle. None of the air bags deployed upon impact. The contact's mother was transported by ambulance to the hospital with a broken vertebra and fractured sternum. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard and deemed totaled by the insurance company. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unavailable.

I have been waiting over 2 years for this passenger side airbag recall to be remedied. I was told a remedy was available about a year and a half ago, but despite many calls and service appointments where I left the car with Toyota (they even kept my car for nearly 9 hours once), they always tell me they don't have the part available and that they will call me when it becomes available (they still haven't). I tried multiple Toyota service centers in my area with the same results. The airbag was already recalled previously and the remedy was to replace it with an airbag part that was also recalled, so in actuality it has probably been over 5 years since the original recall and after all this time my car still has an airbag inflator that may cause fire, injury or death. I paid for a car so I could use all of the available seating, and for most of my time owning it and for the foreseeable future I'm being told by Toyota not to use the front passenger seat. Totally unacceptable, regardless of parts shortage this shouldn't be a problem to bear solely by the vehicle owner, I have never been offered a loaner or anything to make up for the money I wasted on a car I can't use as advertised.

Catalitic

My car's all seatbelts not retracting properly, especially the both rare belts. Needs to fix immediately.

Rare Left, Right and central seat belts are loose. Not working.

The contact owned a 2007 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated while sitting in their vehicle parked, the passenger air bag exploded independently. The contact confimed that there was no impact for the air bag to explode and there were no warning lights at the time. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and repaired the passenger air bag. However, a month later the contact was at a stoplight when the vehicle behind rear-ended the vehicle and caused the contact to rear the vehicle in front of them. The air bags did not deploy. The contact's head hit the steering wheel, which caused injuries to their head, neck, and back. Medical treatment was at the scene and took the contact to the hospital by ambulance. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed by an independent mechanic and then towed to a local dealer who inspected the vehicle and deemed the vehicle a total loss. The contact's concern was that after doing some research they found out their vehicle had an open recall for the frontal air bags NHTSA Campaign Number: 19v741000 (Air Bags) that they believe their local dealer was aware of the recall but never informed which caused the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximate 150,000.

SUNROOF FLEW OFF DRIVE ON TURNPIKE

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 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.

THREE YEARS AFTER BUYING NEW CAR ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, GOT IT CHECKED AT DEALER WAS TOLD IT'S P0741. I WAS TOLD BY SERVICE ADVISOR THAT THERE WAS "NO RECALL AND IF IT AIN'T BROKE DON'T FIX IT." I ASKED WHAT IT WAS, WAS TOLD IT'S CONVERTER, BUT NOT TO WORRY IF NO PROBLEMS. I'VE TRIED CALLING TOYOTA FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW, TO NO AVAIL. I STILL OWN MY COROLLA AND THE ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON. .... GLAD I FOUND THIS WEBSITE.

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 PROBLEM IS NOT SPECIFIC TO THIS CAR. THE TIRE SPEED RATING SYSTEM IN USE TODAY IS LONG OVERDUE FOR UPGRADING. PROBLEM 1 IS THE CONFUSION THAT EXISTS BETWEEN Y AND (Y). ONLINE TIRE DEALERS OFTEN BLUR THE TWO CATEGORIES. PROBLEM 2 IS THE ACTUAL SPEED RATING OF (Y) -- IT IS UNKNOWN BUT HIGHER THAN 186. PROBLEM 3 IS THAT TIRES IN THE UPPER RANGES ARE NOT SEPARATED. IF YOU BUY TIRES FOR A 2004 FORD GT, THEY MUST BE GOOD FOR UP TO 215 MPH, BUT 270 MPH IS NOT NECESSARY. THERE ARE MANY TIRES THAT ARE GOOD FOR 215 BUT NOT 270 MPH. THE CURRENT SYSTEM DOES NOT TELL CONSUMERS WHICH TIRE IS SAFE! I PROPOSE A NEW METRIC-BASED SYSTEM. THE FOLLOWING SPEED RATINGS WOULD ASSIGNED TO EACH TIRE: SPEED RATING 15 (150 KM/H) 20 (200 KM/H) 25 (250 KM/H) 30 (300 KM/H) 35 (350 KM/H) 40 (400 KM/H) 45 (450 KM/H) 50 (500 KM/H)

I APPRECIATE THAT TOYOTA YOUNGER FIXED THE AIRBAG RECALL. I WOULD HAVE APPRECIATE IF THEY WOULD HAVE WIPED DOWN THE DASH BOARD AFTER INSTALLING. I ALSO NOTICED THE PANEL OVER THE AIRBAG HAS A BUCKLE/CREASE AND IT DOES NOT LOOK SECURE AROUND THE EDGES. I HAVE ATTACHED IMAGES . IT NEVER LOOKED LIKE BEFORE A DROPPED OFF MY CAR.

TAKATA RECALL

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
