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,

THE MANUFACTURER'S SUPPLIED CAR TIRE JACK DOES NOT SAFELY ENGAGE ITS CENTER NOTCH TO THE ( "PINCH WELDED" METAL SHEETS EDGE ) DESIGNATED JACK POINT POSITIONS ( FOR THE FOUR WHEEL LOCATIONS) AS INDICATED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. ONLY " ONE SIDE", THE INNER HALF OF THE JACK, MAKES CONTACT WITH THE VEHICLE, THUS MAKING LIFTING THE CAR VERY UNSTABLE AND UNSAFE. IN OTHER WORDS, THE NOTCH OF THE SUPPLIED TIRE JACK DOES NOT EVEN MAKE CONTACT WITH THE JACK POINT. I AM AFRAID THIS COULD CAUSE THE CAR TO FALL OFF THE JACK WHILE IT IS BEING LIFTED TO CHANGE A FLAT TIRE WITH THE SPARE TIRE. ( I HAVE TRIED TO LIFT MY CAR WITH THE JACK AT ALL FOUR CORNERS, AND THE SUPPLIED JACK'S CENTER NOTCH DID NOT EVEN CONTACT THE JACK POINT, BUT INSTEAD LEFT INDENTATIONS OF THE INNER HALF OF THE JACK'S "SADDLE" ON MY CAR'S UNDERBODY. IN ADDITION, I HAVE READ COMPLAINTS (ONLINE) OF 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA OWNERS WHOSE CAR ACTUALLY FELL OF THE JACK WHEN IT WAS BEING USED TO LIFT/SUPPORT THE VEHICLE. I ASSUME THIS IS A POTENTIAL DANGER TO SUBSEQUENT OWNERS OF LATER COROLLA MODEL YEARS OF THE SAME DESIGN PLATFORM (2009 TO 2013) IF TOYOTA HAS NOT ALREADY SUPPLIED NEW VEHICLES WITH AN APPROPRIATELY-DESIGNED TIRE JACK OR OTHERWISE MADE IT SAFER TO LIFT THE CAR WITH THE JACK. NOTE THAT I LIFTED MY VEHICLE ON A FLAT, HARD CONCRETE GARAGE FLOOR. IN ADDITION, I BELIEVE I'VE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA SEVERAL YEARS AGO; I CALLED THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER, AND THEY DOCUMENTED MY CONCERNS. TOYOTA HAS NOT RESPONDED TO ME SINCE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

I HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE AFTER DRIVING IT FOR ABOUT 110K MILES TO THE WORK AND LEISURE, BUT IT SUDDENLY STARTED "JERKING" I TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP WHERE NO RESULTS CAME BACK AFTER CONNECTING IT TO A DIAGNOSIS COMPUTER. THE JERKING PROBLEM INCREASED, AND THE TRANSMISSION SOLENOIDS WERE REPLACED AS WELL AS AN OIL CHANGE WAS DONE. PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED. I'VE BEEN DOING SOME RESEARCH, AND SEEMS THE TRANSMISSION FOR THIS SPECIFIC CAR MODEL HAS BEEN FAILING. VERY EXPENSIVE FIX, AND I GUESS TO REPLACE TO ANOTHER "FAULTY" TRANSMISSION FOR THIS MODEL OF VEHICLE.

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.

CAR WAS TAKEN IN FOR OIL CHANGE AT MILEAGE DUE AND TOYOTA DEALERSHIP STATED OIL DIPSTICK WAS TOTALLY DRY AND TO CHECK IT AT HALFWAY MARK OF MILES. CAR IS NOT DUE YET FOR OIL CHANGE UNTIL ABOUT 95,000 MILES AND AT HALFWAY MARK OIL WAS ALREADY DOWN TO LAST MARK ON DIPSTICK. CAR WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA AND THEY STATED 2009 COROLLA WAS NOT PART OF LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN OF OTHER VEHICLES EXHIBITING SAME PROBLEMS AS MY CAR. DEALER SAID TO JUST ADD OIL IN BETWEEN CHANGES AND I EXPLAINED THAT CAR SHOULD NOT BE CONSUMING OIL AT THIS STAGE AND THEY AGREED BUT STATED I WOULD HAVE TO COVER REPAIRS WHICH MIGHT COST BETWEEN $2,000-3,000 BECAUSE OF CAR NOT BEING PART OF CAMPAIGN WITH OTHER MAKES WHICH WERE ALSO HAVING SAME PROBLEM WITH EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AT AROUND SAME MILEAGE. I STARTED OIL CONSUMPTION TEST SO THAT IT WOULD BE ON RECORD. IF OTHER OWNERS ARE HAVING SAME PROBLEM, 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN OF EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AS IT WAS INCLUDED FOR MOST OF THE OTHER RECALLS AND CAMPAIGNS.

I TOOK MY COROLLA TO THE 75K MILES SERVICES, BUT AT THE 76K WHEN I WAS DRIVING THE ENGINE START MAKING NOISE. I OPENED THE HOOD AND I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE THAT THE WATER COOLER TANK WAS ALMOST EMPTY. I TOOK MY CAR AGAIN TOTOYOTA SERVICE CENTER AND THEY SAID THAT THE COOLER PUMP IS LEAKING SO I HAVE TO CHANGE IT AND THE REPAIR WILL COST AROUND $500.00. MY 09 TOYOTA COROLLA'S WATER PUMP IS BUSTED AND I THOUGHT ALL ALONG THAT COROLLA ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THE BEST?.THIS REALLY ANNOYING ISSUE, WITH ONLY 75,000 MILES ON THE CAR THE WATER PUMP SHOULDN'T BE ALL READY WORN OUT !.

DRIVER'S SIDE MIRROR PLASTIC HOLDING SNAPPED THAT KEEPS MIRROR IN THE OPEN/ CLOSED POSITION. DUE TO THE PLASTIC HOLDING BEING SNAPPED, THE MIRROR WOBBLES AND DOES NOT STAY IN THE OPEN POSITION. IT MAKES DRIVING VERY DANGEROUS WITH THE LACK OF A MIRROR TO TURN AND MERGE SAFELY. AS SPEEDS INCREASE, THE FORCE OF THE WIND WILL FORCE THE MIRROR INTO THE CLOSED POSITION MAKING THE MIRROR USELESS.

I WAS DRIVING AND WAS CLOSE TO MY DESTINATION WHEN I HEAR SOMETHING GO WRONG. I PARK AT MY DESTINATION AND I SEE A POOL OF WHAT I THINK WAS COOLANT ON THE GROUND. IT ALSO FELT LIKE IT WAS OVERHEATING SO I DID NOT WANT TO RISK THE CAR BLOWING UP SO I HAD IT TOWED. THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THE WATER PUMP CEASED WHICH CAUSED THE SERPENTINE BELT TO ALSO BREAK. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND I AM SURPRISED THAT THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ANY RECALLS.

I HAVE EXPERIENCED GREAT AMOUNT OF STRESS DUE TO MY 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA. I EXPERIENCE THE CAR SHIFTING FROM RIGHT TO LEFT AT HIGH SPEEDS (OVER 65 MPH). I TOOK IT TO TOYOTA OF ORANGE AND THEY TESTED AND LEGALLY THEY CAN ONLY GO 60MPH OR HIGHWAY SPEED-LIMIT. THEY KEPT DENYING ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR, & CAME BACK TO SPEAK WITH THE TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE. I WENT IN 3 TIMES PRIOR TO THIS TO SEE IF THEY COULD FIND A PROBLEM, SHE SAID THERE'S NOTHING WRONG AFTER SPECIAL 'TESTS' WERE DONE. AFTER THAT WE TOOK IT IN AGAIN AND THEY PERFORMED AN ALIGNMENT WHICH HELPED A LITTLE DURING REGULAR SPEEDS. BUT I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, I RECENTLY TOOK IT IN FOR THE RE-CALL, GLAD THAT WAS FIXED, BUT AT 70-80 MPH IF I SHIFT INTO ANOTHER LINE THAT IS PUTTING MY LIFE IN GREAT DANGER! I DRIVE SLOWER BUT I LIVE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SO SOMETIMES ITS UNSAFE TO BE DRIVING AT SUCH SPEEDS. I HAVE ALSO BEEN EXPERIENCING PAINT PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE, VARIOUS SCRATCHES I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY APPEAR FROM, AND MY CAR IS GARAGED MOSTLY. THERE ALSO A COUPLE OF CHIPS IN THE PAINT, I TOOK IT IN AND THEY JUST WASHED AND DETAILED THE VEHICLE, WHICH DID HELP BUT THERE'S SCRATCHES AGAIN, THE PAINT SEEMS TO BE DEFECTIVE. ANOTHER PROBLEM I'M EXPERIENCING WITH THIS VEHICLE IS RANDOMLY MAYBE ONCE OR TWICE A MONTH WHEN STARTED IN THE MORNING (PARKED IN THE GARAGE WHICH ISN'T COLD AT ALL) THE WHOLE CAR VIBRATES HORRIBLE, COMING FROM THE ENGINE, AS IF ITS NOT HELD TOGETHER WELL. IT LASTS FOR AROUND A MINUTE. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID SINCE ITS NOT A CONSTANT PROBLEM THEY CANT DETECT BUT IF I LEAVE IT OVER NIGHT AND IF IT HAPPENS THEY'LL SEE, OF-COURSE IT DIDN'T HAPPEN THEY CLAIMED THEY TESTED EVERYTHING POSSIBLE AND THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ETC. NO SIGNS WHEN THE STEERING GOES CRAZY. OBVIOUSLY THIS CAR IS A DEFECT THE REASON WHY I PURCHASED A TOYOTA COROLLA WAS BECAUSE I HAVE NO PROBLEMS WITH MY 2005, AND ALL THE OTHER CARS I HAVE OWNED, DON'T HAVE STEERING OR PAINT PROBLEMS.
