2004 Toyota Corolla other reported problems

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

I received a "do not drive" recall for my vehicle in the mail because of defective air bags. The recall letter claimed that there have been twenty-eight confirmed deaths in relation to this recall. I entered Priority Toyota of Chesapeake, VA to address the issue. That was on Monday, April 6th, 2026. Even though there was a "do not drive" order on the recall, Priority Toyota of Chesapeake refused to give me a loaner vehicle. It is now Monday, April 13th, and Priority Toyota of Chesapeake has claimed that they are still waiting on an email to begin repairing the vehicle, which I need for transport. This is a formal complaint that Priority Toyota of Chesapeake, VA has failed to repair the recalls to the vehicle in a timely manner.

RENT A WRECK ROCKVILLE IN ROCKVILLE, MARYLAND RENTED ME A CARE WITH 2 OPEN RECALLS. IT WAS A FIGHT TO GET THEM TO PICK THE CAR UP AND REFUND ME - WHICH THEY STILL HAVE NOT FULLY. THE CAR ALSO HAS STRUCTURAL PROBLEMS. WATER POURS THROUGH THE ROOF ONTO THE DRIVER WHEN IT RAINS. IT IS NOT DRIPPING; IT IS POURING WATER AND IT IS AN OBSTRUCTION TO THE DRIVER. I HAVE GONE BACK AND WORTH WITH THESE PEOPLE, BUT THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT FEDERAL OR STATE LAW. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE REPOSSESSED AND BE TAKEN OFF THE ROADS AND THIS RENT A WRECK LOCATIONS NEEDS TO BE MADE AWARE THAT THEIR BUSINESS TACTICS CANNOT PROCEED. I HAVE A BUNCH OF DOCUMENTATION FROM THIS ORDEAL. ALL I WANT IS TO MAKE SURE RENT A WRECK ROCKVILLE DOES NOT HAVE THIS CAR ON THE ROAD OR SIMILAR CARS AND TO GET REFUNDED FOR ALL OF THE EXTRA COSTS THEY HAVE CAUSED ME. THIS FRANCHISED LOCATION IS PART OF THE LARGER PROBLEM. ALSO, I HAVE BEEN REQUESTING TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE AT THEIR CORPORATE OFFICES, BUT HAVE BEEN REFUSED THAT INFORMATION FOR OVER A MONTH. PLEASE FOLLOW UP WITH ME OVER THIS. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'

MY TOYOTA COROLLA LE (CAR) COMPLETELY LOSES POWER AND SHUTS DOWN RANDOMLY. IT HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. DURING ONE OCCASION IT SHUT DOWN WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS INCIDENT ALMOST COST ME MY LIFE AS WELL AS TWO OF MY CHILDREN (WHO ARE ADULTS). IT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF A LOT OF TRAFFIC CAUSING A SEMI TRUCK TO MISS US BY INCHES. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS ON STREETS AND IN PARKING LOTS. THE CAR IS ALWAYS IN MOTION WHEN THIS OCCURS. I HAVE HAD THE CAR'S ENGINE TESTED (THE BUSINESS THAT TESTED IT IS NOW OUT OF BUSINESS). THE TEST REVEALED THAT IT WAS A COIL PACK THAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. I HAD THE COIL PACK REPLACED BUT IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. AT THIS POINT IT IS STILL UNKNOWN WHY MY VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN RANDOMLY. BELOW IT ASKS FOR A DATE WHEN THIS OCCURS. AS STATED ABOVE, IT HAS HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES THAT I CAN'T RECALL THOSE DATES, SO I PUT IN AN APPROXIMATE DATE THAT THE INCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY OCCURRED. THE MILES ON THE CAR IS WHAT I HAVE ON IT AT THIS TIME (149,542).

I BROUGHT MY CAR TO TOYOTA DUE TO A RECALL (SRA, ECU). AFTER TOYOTA PERFORMED WORK THE SEAT BELT AUDIBLE ALARM DOES NOT FUNCTION AND IS THEREFORE DANGEROUS. TOYOTA COULD NOT FIND PROBLEM AFTER SPENDING SIX HOURS. DRIVING WITHOUT FUNCTIONING SEAT BELT ALARM IS DANGEROUS. I HAVE COPIES OF TOYOTA DEALER WORK ORDERS. DEALER WILL NOT FIX PROBLEM THEY CAUSED BY INSTALLING THE RECALL.. TOYOTA USA REFUSES TO FIX IT. I WOULD NOT EVER HAVE A RECALL BY MANUFACTUER DONE AGAIN. TOO DANGEROUS. ## VIN PASSED ## TOYOTA CAROLLA 2004 ##

I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP KING AUTOMALL IN MASON, OH FOR AN AIRBAG RECALL AND THE DEALERSHIP HAD MY CAR UP ON THE LIFT RUSTING THE ENTIRE EXHAUST SYSTEM OFF OF MY CAR ALONG WITH A FEW OTHERS VEHICLES. WHEN I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP WHY WAS THEY UNDER MY CAR THE DEALERSHIP REPLIED THAT IT WAS SOMEONE'S ELSE CAR. I EXPLAINED TO THE DEALER THAT IT WAS MY CAR BECAUSE IT HAD MY LICENSE PLATE. THE SAME DAY MY ENTIRE EXHAUST SYSTEM BROKE APART DUE TO BEING RUSTED OUT. I INSPECTED MY EXHAUST RIGHT BEFORE I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS IN GOOD SHAPE. PLEASE HAVE TIS INVESTIGATED AND STOPPED.

"TAKATA RECALL" I KEEP RECEIVING RECALL NOTICES, BUT WHEN I CALL THE DEALERSHIP, THEY ACT LIKE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT AND WHEN I CALL THE 1800 NUMBER THEY ACT LIKE EVERYTHING IS TAKEN CARE OF. THEN THE DEALERSHIP CALLS AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON AGAIN. I HAVE GIVEN UP ON THE SAFETY RECALL FOR THE TIME BEING. I HOPE THAT AS TIME PASSES THE SYSTEM WILL GET SMOOTHED OUT WHERE THIS CAN ACTUALLY GET FIXED, MAYBE. IT DOES NOT SEEM THAT FIXING THE AIRBAG ISSUES ARE A SERIOUS PRIORITY IN PERSON, ONLY ON PAPER.

WITHOUT ANY INDICATION OF A POTENTIAL PROBLEM, MY CAR LOST COMPLETE POWER WHILE DRIVING IT. IN ADDITION, MY SPEEDOMETER WAS STUCK ON 50 (I JUST GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE & WAS GOING RESIDENTIAL SPEED), MY GAS GAUGE REFLECTED I HAD A FULL TANK (I ACTUALLY HAD A HALF OF A TANK) AND MY TEMP GAUGE SAID MY ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY COOL. I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN, BUT I'M LUCKY THAT IT DID NOT HAPPEN TO ME WHILE I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE! LET ME CLARIFY THE FACTS HERE- TOTAL POWER LOSS WHILE DRIVING, STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP, GAUGES - INCLUDING THE SPEEDOMETER- WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP WERE STUCK ON INACCURATE READINGS, NO INDICATION OF AN ISSUE PRIOR TO IT STALLING! (PRIOR TO THE CAR DYING ON ME- HEADLIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS WERE BRIGHT, RADIO WORKED, GAUGES WERE ACCURATE. THERE WAS NO LOUD NOISE WHEN THIS HAPPENED, IT IS NOT THE TIMING CHAIN, THE STARTER AND BATTERY ARE BRAND NEW, THERE WAS NO HESITATION AND NO TROUBLE WHEN STARTING IT UP.) I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO START SINCE. DID NOT RESPOND TO A JUMP. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN SOME ORDER IN WHICH POWER IS LOST - EXAMPLE RADIO FIRST- DIMMING LIGHTS, ETC. BEFORE POWER IS LOST TO THE ENTIRE CAR WHILE DRIVING.

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY 605 FREEWAY IN CALIFORNIA ON DECEMBER 24,2014 AT 10: AM . I WAS DRIVING 60MPH AND SUDDENLY FELT A VERY STRONG SHAKE IN MY CAR THAT CONTINUED FOR ABOUT TWO MINUTES AND THEN I SUDDENLY WENT FROM 60MPH TO 15 MPH . I WAS REALLY SCARED AND CONCERNED ABOUT THIS MATTER. IF I DIDN'T HAVE CONTROL I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN CARS BEHIND ME OR MYSELF IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS MALFUNCTION. I WAS VERY SHAKEN UP AND STRESSED. I HAVE NEVER BEEN THIS SCARED IN MY VEHICLE. I DROVE MY CAR IN SEARCH FOR AN OPEN MECHANIC AND FOUND ONE HE DID A FULL INSPECTION WHICH WAS VERY STRESSFUL DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT WAS A CHRISTMAS EVE . I REALLY HAVE BEEN A LOYAL CUSTOMER TO TOYOTA MY WHOLE FAMILY AND I REALLY WOULD LIKE THIS TO GET TAKEN CARE OF. I DON'T SEE THE NEED FOR ME TO SPEND MORE MONEY WHEN ITS A TOYOTA PROBLEM.

I HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR 2 YEARS NOW, EVERY TIME I TAKE THE CAR INTO THE DEALER I SHOW THEM THE GAP AND THE WARPING UP OF THE CONSOLE ABOVE THE RADIO. STILL UNTIL THIS DAY, THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. IT HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE AND MORE OF THE TOP CONSOLE IS POPPING UP CAUSING A RATTLING NOISE. I ALSO SMELL THAT BAD EGG/ SULFUR SMELLING ORDER WHEN I USE THE AC OR THE HEAT. I AM SURE THIS CANT BE GOOD FOR ANYONE'S HEALTH. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE WITH BOTH OF THESE COMPLAINTS. FACTORY RECALL?

I BOUGHT A TOYOTA COROLLA 2004 SEDAN FROM GORDIE BOUCHER NISSAN, 10606 W. ARTHUR AVENUE, WEST ALLIS, WISCONSIN, PHONE NO. 414-543-1234 ON SEPT. 27TH. THE CAR WAS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, AND BOTH MY HUSBAND, JOY JOSEPH AND I DIDN'T NOTICE THAT THE HEAD RESTS FOR THE BACK SEATS WERE MISSING. WHEN WE FOUND THAT WE BROGHT THIS TO THE DEALER'S ATTENTION. THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO GET US TWO HEAD RESTS FOR THE BACK. MY HUSBAND WENT TO THE TOYOTA DEALER AS WE STILL HAVE THE FULL WARRANTY FROM TOYOTA, AND THEY ARE ALSO NOT WILLING TO PROVIDE US WITH THE HEAD RESTS. I KNOW THAT IN A COLLISSION IT WILL BE DANGEROUS TO HAVE PASSENGERS IN THE BACK SEAT WHERE THEY WILL HAVE SEVERE NECK INJURIES. BEFORE SOMETHING SEVERE HAPPENS, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE HEAD RESTS IN PLACE. PLEASE HELP ME IN GETTING THIS RESOLVED.

THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT GO DOWN ALL THE WAY BECAUSE THE REAR VIEW MIRROR IS IN THE WAY (IT HITS IT). THIS IS A DRIVING DISTRACTION TRYING TO REPOSITION THE REAR VIEW MIRROR EVERY TIME THE SUN VISOR IS LOWERED AND RAISED.

THE MOLDING PIECE SEPERATING FROM AROUND THE RADIO. MY CAR WAS 3 MONTHS OLD WHEN THE PROBLEM WAS NOTICED. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WORKED ON TWICE. THE SECOND TRIP IN,THE MOLDING WAS REPLACED WHICH HAS HELPED FOR THE MOST PART. AT FIRST THERE WAS A BIG GAP ON THE SIDES AND ON TOP OF THE RADIO AND MOLDING. IT STILL IS NOT 100% PERFECT AS I WOULD WISH FOR A BRAND NEW CAR BUT IT LOOKS BETTER NOW THAN IT DID IN THE BEGINNING.
