2009 Toyota Corolla electrical problems

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

I purchased my car in March 2023. From the first week, it wouldn't start sometimes. Id wait 5 minutes, then it would start fine. I thought it was when it got wet, at first. I also had a certain part replaced air flow compressor, possibly was called?, thinking this would fix it. It did not. In fact, the problem seemed to be happening more and more but, always, if I waited 5 to 10 minutes, sometimes messed around under the hood, it would start. This was not very comforting however, when it would stall at a light and not start right back up. I took it to AutoZone and was run on the diagnostics machine. Was told it needed new spark plugs and ignition coil packs. Which I got and replaced. Still happening. I took back to AutoZone, had it run again on diagnostic. This time it said battery. So I had a new battery put in. Still happening. All along, might I add, my fuses will blow randomly, my headlights And taillights will blow for no reason. One taillightooks like it melted through the plastic before it decided to blow. I e replaced some fuses, only to have blown again. I also have replaced the light bulb in taillight, only to have blown twice more. This is very dangerous, especially at a traffic light or, late at night if I need to go somewhere or leave somewhere And it won't start. I've been stuck in the middle of the road, on the wring sidevif the riad, in the midfle if a snowstorm, with it not starting for me. Also, it was gett5really cold without heat and, I was nearly hit several times as i was also at the bottom of a steep hill when my car decided to stop sliding backwards and stall on me and would not restart. That was the most fearful I have been with this issue and with good reason! I now see several others having similar issues with their same exact car. Why isn't Toyota addressing this?

My driver’s side window controls are slowly falling into the doors. I read where there was a recall online, but I have never received any paperwork. I am the original owner and have had all work done at various Toyota’s for 13 years now. Will I be able to have a dealer fix this? Thank you,

I have had my 2009 Toyota Corolla since day 1. I seen another post in here that is having the same issue as myself. I have had to replace my battery 3 times all because the “wiring harness” on this vehicle is faulty. Toyota knew about this beforehand. As customers we put our trust and faith in these big corporations to do the right thing when making these vehicles. We, as customers, shouldn’t have to purchase and pay for labor when all while Toyota was aware of the faulty wiring harness. This causes more issues than 1 because it controls everything inside and outside of your car.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

My Toyota power door lock actuators continue to fail, even after multiple replacements. The failure mode starts as intermittent operation, often leaving doors unlocked when using the electronic locking system. Eventually the door lock actuator fails to respond at all. The intermittent nature of the failure onset puts consumers at risk for not realizing the system left their car unlocked, providing an opportunity for someone to enter the vehicle and wait in the car for vehicle owner to return or to have things stolen from the vehicle. Based on the repeated failures, the actuator design or manufacturing process is clearly defective. The repeated actuator failures requires the customer to be vigilant for failures and the pay for replacement, several hundreds of dollars each time, out of their own pocket since Toyota refuses to acknowledge an egregious failure rate on their power door lock mechanisms. Cynical observers may note that the failures generate a regular revenue stream for Toyota service departments. Thank you for your time.

MY CAR HAS 91,414 MILES AND HAS HAD MULTIPLE CYLINDER MISFIRES WITH MY NORMAL DAILY COMMUTE OF SIX MILES EACH WAY. IN THREE YEARS ON A 4 CYLINDER ENGINE I HAVE HAD THREE IGNITION COILS REPLACED, TWICE WITHIN TWO AND A HALF YEARS AND 10,468 MILES ON THE #2 COIL. ALL REPAIRS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED BY TOYOTA CERTIFIED REPAIR FACILITIES WITH TOYOTA OEM PARTS. THIS IS NOT NORMAL FOR A LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE MAINTAINED WITH REGULAR SERVICE.

I OWN A 2009 COROLLA THAT HAS 108,000 MILES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL FIX, AND IT ALSO HAD THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT ON. THE DEALER SAID THAT THE OBD-II CODE P0354 CAME UP IN THE DIAGNOSTICS AND THE VEHICLE NEEDED A NEW ENGINE WIRE HARNESS AT A COST OF $2,000 DOLLARS. I DID MY OWN RESEARCH AND FOUND THIS TOYOTA TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN LINK THAT DESCRIBES EXACTLY THE PROBLEM AND ALSO INCLUDES MY CAR'S VIN. HTTP://ALFLASH.COM.UA/REFER/T-SB-0379-08.PDF APPARENTLY,TOYOTA KNEW OF THE WIRING HARNESS PROBLEM, BUT THEY CHOSE TO CONCEAL IT AND FIX ONLY IF THE CUSTOMER COMPLAINED. THEY EXPECTED THE CUSTOMER TO PLAY DETECTIVE AND FIND THEIR LATENT DESIGN FAULT! I HAVE OWNED FIVE OTHER CARS SINCE 1973, ONE FOR 23 YEARS, AND I NEVER HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE WIRE HARNESS!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

THE CAR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS SHIFT VERY HARD. THE MECHANIC REPLACED PRESSURE SOLENOID VALVE. I WAS INFORMED THAT ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE IS BAD. THE SYMPTOMS ARE SIMILAR TO A VOLUNTEER SAFETY RECALL A0J FOR 2007-2008 COROLLA MODELS EQUIPPED WITH 1ZZ-FE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE. THE ECM FOR CERTAIN 2005 THROUGH 2008 TOYOTA COROLLA AND COROLLA MATRIX 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. IN MOST CASES, IF A CRACK OCCURS AT CERTAIN POINTS OR ON CERTAIN VARISTORS, THE ENGINE WARNING LAMP COULD BE ILLUMINATED*, HARSH SHIFTING COULD RESULT, OR THEENGINE MAY NOT START. IN LIMITED INSTANCES, IF CRACKING OCCURS ON PARTICULAR SOLDER POINTS OR VARISTORS, THE ENGINE COULD STOP WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN WHICH MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.

MY 2009 COROLLA EXPERIENCED ISSUES IDENTICAL TO A PRIOR RECALL CIRCA 2010 FOR '05-'08 COROLLA & MATRIX MODELS REGARDING ENGINE CONTROL MODULES (ECM) THAT MAY HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY MANUFACTURED. ON 3/30/16, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON AND MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCED HARSH SHIFTING AND STRUGGLED FOR GAS. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WITH OVER A 1/4 TANK OF GAS ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET AT THE TIME. ON 3/31/16, I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. DIAGNOSTICS WERE RUN AND ECM FAULT CODES WERE IDENTIFIED. SERVICE ASSOCIATES WORKING ON MY COROLLA ADDRESSED THEIR CONCERNS AND WERE REPEATEDLY DENIED REQUESTS FOR A REPLACEMENT ECM. AT ONE POINT, I WAS ADVISED BY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP STAFF TO PERSONALLY ORDER AN ECM UNIT THROUGH THE PARTS DEPT., INSISTING THAT THE REQUEST COMING DIRECTLY FROM A CUSTOMER WOULD NOT BE DENIED. I ATTEMPTED TO PLACE AN ORDER WITH PARTS, AND THAT REQUEST LATER WAS DENIED. AFTER SEVERAL RE-TESTS AND DENIED REQUESTS FOR A REPLACEMENT ECM, MY VEHICLE RECEIVED A REPLACEMENT TAIL LIGHT BULB (WHAT I REFER TO AS A "BAND-AID" FIX) AND WAS RELEASED BACK TO ME ON 4/5/16. THE VERY NEXT MORNING (4/6/16), CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN. ONCE AGAIN, CODES TIED TO THE ECM WERE IDENTIFIED. AFTER ANOTHER WEEK OF TESTS, DENIED ECM FIX REQUESTS, AND ANOTHER BAND-AID REPAIR, THE VEHICLE WAS RELEASED BACK TO ME ON 4/14/16. DURING THIS TWO-WEEK ORDEAL, I INCURRED OVER $540 IN RENTAL CAR EXPENSES AND $186 IN "BAND-AID" REPAIRS, DESPITE THE FACT THAT ECM ISSUES WERE IDENTIFIED FROM THE BEGINNING. I HAVE OPENED 2 CASES WITH TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER TO ADDRESS THIS ECM ISSUE WITH MY 2009 COROLLA, THE PRIOR 2010 RECALL, AND HAVE REQUESTED THAT MY VIN BE INCORPORATED INTO THE RECALL. SO FAR, TOYOTA HAS DENIED ANY RESPONSIBILITY, INSISTING THAT THEIR ECMS DON'T FAIL, OFFERING NO ASSISTANCE FOR ISSUES THEY DEEM OFF-WARRANTY/OFF-RECALL.

I HAD SPOKEN TO MIKE FROM CARSON TOYOTA REGARDING THIS RECALL MORE THAN 6 MONTHS AGO. I FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS RECALL FROM MY COWORKER WHO HAS THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR CAR AS MINE. MIKE HAD TOLD ME THAT ONLY A FEW TOYOTAS WERE ON RECALL AND THE LAST TIME I HAD GOTTEN MY OIL CHANGED THERE, HE TOLD ME THAT MY MODEL WAS NOT IN THAT RECALL.. BUT I DID GET A LETTER IN THE MAIL. I TOLD HIM THAT MY COWORKER TOLD ME ABOUT THE ELECTRICAL WINDOW ON THE RIGHT SIDE. MIKE HAD TOLD ME THAT IT WOULDN'T BE COVERED. I WOULD HAVE TO PAY ABOUT $400 PLUS FOR THAT WINDOW THAT GOT STUCK. MIKE DID TELL ME THAT MY VIN MODEL WAS NOT COUNTED FOR. I AM REAL UPSET. THIS PAST DECEMBER, I DROVE TO SAN FRANCISCO WHEN IT IS RAINING AND WINDY, THIS IS A REAL BIG HAZARD FOR A BRANCH TO HAVE COME INSIDE MY CAR WITHOUT MY DAUGHTER BEING ABLE TO CLOSE TO THE WINDOW AND HAD POKED HER ARM SOME HOW.

I HAVE A 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA (LE). I BOUGHT IT ALMOST EXACTLY 3 YEARS AGO WITH ABOUT 12,300 MILES ON IT. CURRENTLY, IT DOES NOT HAVE 50K. I HAVE TO DRIVE DOWNTOWN FOR NURSING SCHOOL, IT TAKES ROUGHLY 20-30 MINUTES. THE VERY TERRIFYING AND INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT I HAVE BEEN HAVING IS THAT I WILL BE DRIVING 65MPH ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND IT WILL SUDDENLY JUST DROP DOWN TO 30/40MPH. DUE TO THIS ISSUE, I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN A CRASH. I WILL CHANGE LANES THINKING MY CAR WILL ACCELERATE TO PASS SOMEONE AND IT WILL JUST DROP DOWN TO 30MPH! ALSO, WHILE I AM IDLE, IT WILL SHAKE AND REV..SO THE RPM WILL BE UP CLOSE TO 2; YET, I AM IDLE! I HAVE READ OF OTHERS EXPERIENCING SIMILAR ISSUES. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED SOONER. THE WORST PART IS NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IS WRONG. I TOOK IT AND HAD A DIAGNOSTIC TEST RUN, IT SAID ONE OF THE IGNITION COILS WAS FAULTY..ON A 2009 TOYOTA WITH LESS THAN 50K MILES...THAT DOESN'T SOUND, RIGHT HUH. WELL, I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY GAVE ME A NEW BATTERY, AN OIL CHANGE AND RAN ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC TEST (AFTER SWITCHING THE IGNITION COIL(B) TO ANOTHER (ACORD). IT RECORDED NOTHING. I SPENT $500 IT WAS FINE FOR ABOUT AN HOUR THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND IT STARTED DOING THE SAME THING. I AM VERY ANGRY WITH TOYOTA FOR NOT ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE, ESPECIALLY SINCE OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED IT AND IT IS DANGEROUS. MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS IS AT RISK.

AFTER REPLACING THE ALTERNATOR IN MY 2009 COROLLA IN JULY 2015. MY TIMING CHAINS AND WATER PUMP MALFUNCTIONED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS UNAWARE AND SO WAS THE MECHANIC THAT THE TIMING BELTS WERE DAMAGED UNTIL AFTER THE WATER PUMP AND SERPENTINE BELT WAS REPLACED. DUE TO TIMING ISSUES FROM THE PREVIOUS MALFUNCTIONS, I AM NOW IN NEED OF A NEW MOTOR.
