2003 Toyota Corolla Other Problems

Your sunroof suddenly shattered and exploded while you were driving on the highway, with no warning or obvious cause. This happened while the vehicle was in normal operation. The repair will likely involve replacing the entire sunroof panel and potentially the frame.

THE GLASS SUNROOF ON MY VEHICLE SHATTERED. THE IS NO EVIDENCE OF IMPACT INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. I HAD NOT USED THE CAR FOR ABOUT A WEEK.

THIS TOYOTA WAS TOTALED IN A CAR ACCIDENT ON JUNE 28, 2017. THE DAMAGE WAS TO THE FRONT AND SIDE. AIR BAGS SHOULD'VE DEPLOYED BUT NEVER DID. MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND WAS HIT BY SOMEONE SPEEDING AND GOING THROUGH A STOP SIGN.

DRIVER EXPERIENCED A SURGE IN UNCALLED FOR ACCELERATION WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO STOP FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THE CAR STOPPED AFTER THIS SURGE AFTER HEAVY BRAKE APPLICATION AND BECAME NORMAL. THIS WAS NOT REPEATED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE TRIP OF APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES.

OUR TOYOTA HAD A RECALL ON THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS. THE DEALER INSTALLED A HARNESS AND ECM. WHEN THEY RECHECKED THE SRS SYSTEM THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME BACK ON FOR B1811 FOR SPIRAL CABLE. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS REPAIR IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL BUT THAT MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG IS NOT WORKING. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THE SPIRAL CABLE IS PART OF A RECALL WITH OTHER TOYOTAS BUT NOT THE SAME YEAR AS MINE. OBVIOUSLY THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH THESE AIRBAGS AND I'M WONDERING WHY MY TOYOTA IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL? I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ESPECIALLY SINCE MY 17 YEAR OLD SON IS NOW DRIVING THE VEHICLE! THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR FOR US!

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THE PARTS TO COME IN FOR THE "SAFETY RECALL" FOR MY SUNROOF AND HAVE ONLY RECEIVED ONE PHONE CALL STATING THEY ARE STILL WAITING ON THE PARTS. THE RECALL IS FROM WEBASTO PRODUCT NORTH AMERICA, INC. FOR HOLLANDIA 700/600, AND HOLLANDIA TVS 900 SERIES AFTERMATH SUNROOFS. THIS SUNROOF IS # 6074852 AND JUST SHATTERED LAST NIGHT.

WHEN BACK WINDOWS ARE DOWN IN THE CAR, IT CREATES A SONIC PRESSURE AND HURTS YOUR EARS, WHICH COULD LEAD TO PERMANENT EARING LOSS. THIS WAS NOT DISCLOSED TO ME WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR.

THE CAR HAS A ROTTEN EGG SMELL. IT HAPPENS SPORADICALLY. I'VE CALLED BOTH THE DEALER AND TOYOTA A NUMBER OF TIMES. THEY TELL ME IT IS THE GAS - AND TO TRY DIFFERENT BRANDS OF GAS. I CALLED THE EPA AND SPOKE WITH JIM CALDWELL AND HE SAID IT WAS NOT THE GAS. I CALLED THE WI DEPT OF TRANSPORTATION AND JIM CHAJA SAID THAT ANOTHER LADY FROM APPLETON CALLED IN ON MONDAY ABOUT THE SAME THING. SHE WAS GETTING READY TO FILE UNDER THE LEMON LAW. SHE BOUGHT HERS FROM GUSTMAN, I BOUGHT MINE FROM KOLOSSO. TOYOTA CLAIMS THEY STAND BY THEIR RESEARCH AND BELIEVE THE EPA IS WRONG. *NLM

This complaint is not about a vehicle defect. The complainant traded in this 2003 Corolla to a dealership in August 2018 and no longer owns it. They are requesting that NHTSA remove their name and address from their records.
