2007 Toyota Corolla Electrical System Problems

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

A/C BLOWS HOT ON DRIVER SIDE AND COLD ON PASSENGER SIDE UNTIL IT CUTS OF AND BLOWS ONLY HOT AIR. ALSO FRONT END SUSPENSION PROBLEMS REPEATEDLY. FINALLY ITS UNDER RECALL FOR TAKATA AIRBAGS.

I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT LAST YEAR AND I WAS SITTING ON THE PASSENGER SEAT AND MY HUSBAND WAS ON THE DRIVERS SEAT ALONG WITH MY TWO CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT. WE WERE REAR ENDED BY HIGH SPEED VEHICLE DRIVING ERRATICALLY. ALL OF US SUFFERED WHIP LASH AND BACK INJURIES IN THE ACCIDENT. ALSO, THE AIRBAG NEVER GOT DEPLOYED AND THE AIR BAG SIGN IS ON THE DASH BOARD. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS LIFE AND DEATH SITUATION AND I AM UPSET FOR BUYING A BRAND NEW CAR WHICH I HOPED THAT ALL SAFETY EQUIPMENT WILL BE WORKING. I WAS SHOCKED AND HURT AT THE SAME TIME. AFTER THAT FEW MONTHS LATER I RECEIVED AIRBAG RECALL NOTICE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE FOR REPAIR TO THE NEAREST TOYOTA DEALER SHIP. I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING AND THEY COULDN'T FIX THE AIR BAG SIGN COMING ON THE DASHBOARD AND THEY DIDN'T FIX THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG. I AM REFERRING TO THIS SERIOUS ISSUE WITHOUT ANY OUTCOME. MY INJURED TO ME AND MY FAMILY IS NOT WORTH DRIVING DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. I NEED SOMEONE WHO CAN GET BACK TO ME AND PROVIDE SOLUTION. *TR

KEY CAN BE REMOVED WHILE CAR IS OUT OF PARK. IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE TO BE TURNED ALL THE WAY OFF TO REMOVE IT. IT CAN BE REMOVED WHILE IN POSITION FOR THE RADIO PLAYING WHILE NOT RUNNING. HAVEN'T TRIED THIS WHILE MOVING FOR OBVIOUS REASONS.

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING SUDDEN STOPS OF THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING THAT IS LIKELY RELATED TO THE ECM. A CASE HAS BEEN REGISTERED WITH TOYOTA NATIONAL HEAD QUARTER SUGGESTING TO CALL TOYOTA AT 800-331-4331. I CALLED AND SPOKE WITH [XXX]. SHE REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY HELP ALTHOUGH I PROVIDED HER THE CASE NUMBER R. SHE HANDLED THE CASE VERY RUDELY AND UNPROFESSIONAL, KEPT ME ON HOLD FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AND THEN GAVE ME THE SAME CASE NUMBER WITH NO FURTHER ACTION AND ENDED THE CALL. THANK YOU, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

STARTED CAR IN DECEMBER 2015, TWO WEEKS BEFORE CHRISTMAS. DASH LIGHTS DID NOT COME ON AUTOMATICALLY AS THEY ALWAYS DID AT NIGHT, NOR DID THEY COME ON AFTER MANUALLY TURNING THEM ON, BUT AFTER 10 MINUTES OF DRIVING THEY CAME ON. NEXT NIGHT AGAIN NO LIGHTS, THIS TIME I HIT A BUMP, DASH LIGHTS FLASHED ON THEN OFF AGAIN UNTIL NEXT BUMP IN ROAD AND CAME ON AND STAYED ON. NEXT NIGHT, NO LIGHTS. HIT BUMPS IN ROAD BUT STILL NO LIGHTS. MY DASH LIGHTS NEVER CAME ON AGAIN. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT POST AFTER POST AFTER POST OF 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING SAME PROBLEM. THAT'S WHEN I FOUND OUT I ALSO HAD NO TAIL LIGHTS! MECHANIC CHECKED FUSES AND TAIL LIGHT RELAY, ALL FINE. CHECKED FOR LOOSE WIRES, NO LOOSE WIRES. MECHANIC PUZZLED. WALNUT CREEK TOYOTA DEALER WANTS $350.00 JUST TO LOOK AT IT. AFTER SEEING ALL THESE POSTS WITH SAME PROBLEM, TOYOTA DEALER SHOULD KNOW WHAT IT IS! I HOPE THIS WILL BECOME A RECALL.

I HAD MY VEHICLE IN IDLE AND RETRACTED MY DRIVERS SIDE POWER WINDOWS DOWN TO PULL MY NEPHEW INTO MY LAP TO SAY GOODBYE TO HIM. AT THIS TIME ABOUT 5 MINUTES AFTER STARTING MY CAR THE WINDOW PANEL, AS WELL AS BELOW THE DOOR PANEL TOWARDS THE SPEAKER A HEAVY SMELL OF BURNING PLASTIC SPREAD AROUND THE CAR AND WHITE SMOKE STARTED BILLOWING OUT THROUGH THE SLIT THE WINDOW GLASS RETRACTS BACK INTO. AT THIS TIME I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND WAITED UNTIL THE TOXIC SMOKE HAD ESCAPED. THIS ISSUE WITH THE MASTER SWITCH HAS BEEN REPORTED BY TOYOTA FOR 2009 COROLLAS ONLY. THIS COULD HAVE POSED A SERIOUS HEALTH RISK HAD IT GONE UNNOTICED. AFTER DOING THE DIAGNOSTIC, IT WAS FOUND THAT IT WAS IN FACT A FAULTY SWITCH THAT PROBABLY "GOT WET". IF A CAR IS CATCHING ON FIRE AFTER A SIMPLE FLORIDA RAIN SHOWER, THAT IS NOT THE CONSUMER'S FAULT. FAULTY MANUFACTURING IS THE CASE HERE. WAITING ON TOYOTA CORPORATE RESPONSE OR WILL SEEK PROMPT LEGAL ACTION.

LOOKED UP A RECALL ON THE EMC OF 2007 TOYOTA COROLLAS. MY CAR WAS REAR ENDED ON 12/31/2014. EVER SINCE, MY CAR HAS BEEN HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. MY RADIATOR FAN IS NOT WORKING AND HAD TO BE HOT WIRED BY A MECHANIC FOR IT TO STAY ON WHILE RUNNING. MY AC IS NOT WORKING, MY SHIFTER IS STUCK IN PARK WHICH IS CAUSED BY A BAD SOLENOID. I HAVE HAD IT INSPECTED FOR OVER 8 HOURS BY CERTIFIED MECHANICS AT MIDAS, AND THEY COULDN'T FIX IT. THEY SAID THAT EVERY TEST THEY DID WAS READING THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG BUT MY AC AND RADIATOR FAN AND SOLENOID ARE NOT WORKING. MY CAR STALLS OUT OCCASIONALLY, IT WONT START SOMETIMES, AND IT IS IDLING LOUDER THAN BEFORE.

EXPERIENCING AIR BAG LIGHT ON. WAS TOLD AT DEALER I NEEDED THE AIR BAG SPIRAL CABLE REPLACED INSIDE STEERING COLUMN. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL THE THE SPIRAL CABLE ON CERTAIN TOYOTA MODELS. I QUESTION IF THE 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AS WELL. *JS
