Re: 2003-2007 Toyota Corolla [circuitsmith]
Which is why I had ZERO issues with my '99. I changed my oil frequently, NEVER went over 5,000 miles or 6 months, so mine did not use oil. So I will say that the car did not have enough tolerance for neglect.

Re: 2003-2007 Toyota Corolla [matrixcorolla]
It wasn't because the pistons were too small. The drainback holes behind and below the oil rings were too few and too small. Under the right conditions they could clog with coked oil.

Re: 2003-2007 Toyota Corolla [matrixcorolla]
Hmm. I had a 1999 that I had until 130,000 miles - NO issues with oil consumption. It used same amount of oil at 130,000 miles as when it was new. I used Castrol GTX 5W-30 dino oil, changed at 4,000 miles or 6 months. Awesome car, never replaced anything except VERY routine maintenance. Original rear brakes when I sold it, put on new front pads and turned rotors around 70,000 ... Read More

Experience
My uncle needed a new toyota, crazy guy first wanted the boat look alike Cressida second hand thinking that that was the cheapest he would, and remembering how cool the car was in his youth. I eventually managed to convince him otherwise and save him (and myself) some embarassment by showing him an online site listing . Managed to find a very nice 2007 Corolla with low mileage. Safe to say ... Read More

Re: Steering Issues - 2010 Corolla S [mitchieray3]
I have a 2007 Corolla with the same problem. Driving in the highway is a stressful experience for I need to constantly adjust the steering to keep the car on the road(to go straight). Toyota should adress this problem else people will run away from it's products.

Re: 2007 Santa Fe vs. 2010 Corolla Steering [terceltom]
Terceltom, I already told you - No I would not have detected it and that I disagree with you as I have shown in my previous posts. I was NOT negligent. Negligence implies I had some inkling that a problem existed and did further research into the issue and found there was an issue or failed not to research when I had the inkling and still bought the car and then ...

Re: 2007 Santa Fe vs. 2010 Corolla Steering [sjarea]
sjavea states - "toyota knew of the EPS issue and dealers picked test models that did not have the issue" Yes, It's very possible that Toyota knew of the EPS problem when you bought your car, hence that's probrably why they had you test drive a demo/EPS problem free Corolla. Even more reason why you should test drive the actual car you are going to purchase. sjavea states - "And since ... Read More

Re: 2007 Santa Fe vs. 2010 Corolla Steering [terceltom]
Probably not since I have driven test models before and never had problems in the past when buying a new car. The only right thing for me to do is never buy a toyota again.

Re: 2007 Santa Fe vs. 2010 Corolla Steering [sjarea]
sjarea states - "What you might be inferring is diligence" No, what I was inferring was negligence - as in, the failure to exercise that degree of care in circumstances. sjarea states - "If toyota most likely knew of the problem then I do not think they should wait for people to complain. They should do the right thing and issue a recall" I agree 100% but unfortunately and apparently you ... Read More

Re: 2007 Santa Fe vs. 2010 Corolla Steering [sjarea]
Let me ask you simple question - Now that you're stuck with your Corolla that has EPS issues, do you wish you would have taken YOUR car on a half hour test drive on the highway where you would have noticed this problem? The buyers in these examples that you site made the same mistake you did, they didn't test drive on the highway as recommended by Edmunds and other auto ... Read More

Re: 2007 Santa Fe vs. 2010 Corolla Steering [terceltom]
Terceltom, The dollar amount is irrelevant in my examples. What I am referring to is the customer buying experience NOT the dollar amount. So, yes, one can really compare the buying experience of a burger to a car. However, in terms of dollar amounts I do think every buyer spending a few $1K's want a car that is at least going to drive straight!! Here are some examples of people that ... Read More

Re: 2012 Corolla [echo2001]
This very well may be true. Ninth generation Corolla debuted in Jan. 2002 as a 2003 model and remained being built through Nov./Dec. 2007. as 2008 model year. The ninth generation Corolla lasted for six years rather than the typical 5-year cycle. Toyota could decide to keep the 10th generation around for 6 years as well. There are rumors out there that also say Toyota is delaying the introduction of the ... Read More

Re: 2007 Santa Fe vs. 2010 Corolla Steering [terceltom]
TercelTom, I used the mat/pedal recall as a relevant example here of how test driving the car one buys will not show the all the issues (just like EPS issue) because you said you had no issues at all and you made sure of it. I said I did not believe that thus my examples. I am NOT saying your car had the EPS issue. There is a difference. And in ... Read More

Re: 2007 Santa Fe vs. 2010 Corolla Steering [sjarea]
I believe there is a thread to discuss "Toyota Corolla Recalls". Anyway, NO my car was not affected by the EPS problem, I made sure of that when it came in from delivery. This is something you and Biff should have done a little more extensively to avoid the problems you are now having.
-
Re: 2007 Santa Fe vs. 2010 Corolla Steering [terceltom]
TercelTom, First off, you and I can agree to disagree. Nothing wrong with that. It's probably why forums like this are so beneficial. That said - I still do not buy what your selling. And you sound like your responding to the Ford commercials in regards to resale value. IMO, that is too funny. Of course, you NEVER could know of the recall for pedal/floor mats as it was issued well ... Read More

Re: 2007 Santa Fe vs. 2010 Corolla Steering [sjarea]
Your missing the whole point. The EPS problems in some of the newer Corollas didn't just appear on its own. If you car has this problem, it had it from day one. The vehicles that have the EPS problem, had it from the very start. Now again, if you test drove the same Corolla you were going to buy, trust me, you would have known it had you taken it out ...

TercelTom, "if you would have test driven the same vehicle you were going to purchase I assume you would have caught the problem in the particular car you have now, correct?" No. That is incorrect.

Re: 2007 Santa Fe vs. 2010 Corolla Steering [terceltom]
Thats a pretty fast response there TercelTom. HOW did you know the 09 had an EPS issue? Whether I knew or not (which I did not know toyota had EPS issues) does NOT matter nor is is now a 'new' issue. Toyota knew of the issue and continued to sell the cars. Period. Again, if you knew HOW and if you knew why didn't toyota?
-
Re: 2007 Santa Fe vs. 2010 Corolla Steering [terceltom]
TercelTom, For the same reason they picked a corolla w/out an EPS for me to test drive. They wanted to sell one and I wanted to buy one. And the way your question is phrased makes it sound like I knew of the issue before hand. I did not. You have stated you own an '09. Did you know of this issue before you tested one? Of course you didn't. So, ... Read More

Toyota Coroll, 2007, Automatic Transmission
Recently, I purchase a Toyota Corolla, 2007 automatic transmission car (ODO: 109,000 KM). On the same day, I changed both engine and transmission oil. In D or R position, when I press the brake, the car starts moving in a smooth way. But, when I slow the car (5-10 KM/hour), generally happens at round-about, and then press the accelerator, the engine RPM increases but car behaves as it is in nutral. ... Read More

Re: 2007 Santa Fe vs. 2010 Corolla Steering [sjarea]
The new Corolla is garbage, they would have trouble selling them if without the Toyota name. I rented one in Fla. On a 2 hour drive on I95 and I4 which are very smooth the steering required constant correction. On an empty road I drove 15 MPH with my hands off the wheel and the car went straight so it was not an alignment issue. The car always felt like it ... Read More

Re: 2007 Santa Fe vs. 2010 Corolla Steering [terceltom]
Do you think a dealer would want you to test drive one of these particular vehicles with the EPS problem or do you think he would pick-out a problem free car for you to test drive? If he wants to sell you a car he’s gonna want you to test drive the cream of his inventory not a lemon. Yes! That is exactly what I am saying. They picked the test ... Read More

Re: 2007 Santa Fe vs. 2010 Corolla Steering [terceltom]
TercelTom, I do not buy what you're selling my friend. I think you would be right in the case where someone buys a vehicle and then has 'buyers remorse' over the decision they made to purchase that make/model. That is not the case with the people posting about EPS issue nor the cause of the NHTSA investigation into toyotas EPS issue. I say that because people who have the EPS issue ... Read More

Re: 2007 Santa Fe vs. 2010 Corolla Steering [shouravv]
shouravv, I had the centering issue. The TSB-0140-10 fix did NOT stiffen the feel. As far as I can tell it remained the same. I think the best description I've heard to describe it is - video-game like. No road feedback at all and every effortless when turning. But, toyota is known for light steering feel and I knew that as a previous owner (except for my 91 pick-up that had ... Read More

The 2007 Santa Fe 4WD I drive for work, long distance usually, has a classic power steering. It is quite "stiff", needs force to be steered, and you feel the road very intimately. ... Read More

The finance person should have also went over the lease contract with you and that's when you would of seen that you signed up for a 36,000 miles lease. I can't believe you thought you could buy a car on a lease and have unlimited miles. How would anyone make any money if you put a lot of ... Read More

2007 Toyota Corolla S (Blue)
Wow. I first starting researching on this about 8 months ago when the paint started SEVERELY chipping of of my then, nearly brand new car. All, and I mean all over my hood, trunk, roof, spoiler, etc., is chipping so severely. I have been to two different Toyota shops and they blame it on, get this, BIRD CRAP! Not possible for so many reasons I don't wish to write a loooong ... Read More

Re: 2007 corolla le [raynakay]
Best of luck to you. I still have not had any luck getting a representative to look at my car. Please let me know if you have any luck or get any where. These problems are ridiculous and I have a feeling that Toyota knows this but they are going to deny the problem as long as they can.

2007 corolla le
I purchased my 2007 phantom grey corolla LE in January of '07 for just under $20,000.00 and have paint chips on the hood, doors and fenders already. I've been trying to get a toyota representative to take a look at it. I believe the least little thing and the paint chips off the car. It is evident that the paint is coming off these cars too easy. I've printed all of ... Read More

Paint problems
My 2007 white Corolla Type S has many spots where the paint is chipped off. On the hood, the front door edges, near the back windows, etc. In one spot on the hood it looks like a bubble has formed. I haven't checked with any Toyota dealer yet but understand it may not do any good. What can be done?

Re: Toyota Corolla Paint Problems [laurenfowlkes]
Hi, I too am having a paint issue with my Toyota. It is a 2007 Corolla (silver in color). Just recently I noticed 3 spots where the paint is chipping. The best way to describe it is a circle about the size of a pencil eraser. It is a what you would expect the paint to do if it had a bubble in it and you popped it. it is all ... Read More

Re: Buying a Used 2003-2007 Toyota Corolla Review [irismg]
Honda service/parts aren't too much different from Toyota these days. I get my oil changed at Wal-Mart, and am buying shocks from a Midas-style place soon. A new timing belt is due on my red one at 180k miles, and that won't be done at a dealer either - just a local mechanic shop with a good reputation. Yes, I typically can discern Accords from each other by generation. My red ... Read More

Re: Steering [mackabee]
Why would the VSC settings affect the steering? I thought VSC works through the braking system, not steering. So, on the Corolla, VSC actually corrects the steering? Very interesting! BTW, many cars today have electronic steering. But not all have a problem with steering feel. But it is actually fairly easy to correct, since it is electronic. I remember reading about a review of the then-new 2007 Elantra by the Australian ... Read More

Re: Buying a Used 2003-2007 Toyota Corolla Review [irismg]
The term "rice-rocket" is typically used to describe those cars you were speaking of that have giant coffee can mufflers on them, as well as huge wheels, decals, and big wings. Typically its done by people my age or younger to cars like Civics. A "ricer" would be someone who does that.

Re: Buying a Used 2003-2007 Toyota Corolla Review [thegraduate]
Do you know I've never driven a Honda of any kind? I think I avoided them in the past because it used to be back in the day it cost an arm and a leg for even the simplest thing, and you had to take them to a "Honda specialist" to even change the sparkplugs. My cousin swears by them, though. Isn't brand loyalty something?? I must say these are two ... Read More

Toyota Corolla Paint Problems
I have a 2007 Corolla LE that I purchased almost a year ago. I noticed recently that the paint is chipping off of my car. I went to one dealership about the issue and all the service representative did was argue with me in a sarcastic voice saying it was rock chips. Unless rocks can defy gravity and fly backwards the chips are not from rocks when they are located on ... Read More

Re: Sales [kdhspyder]
Ramp up/ramp down explains the big downturn in Corolla sales in March 2008 compared to 2007. But not the flat (actually slightly down on an equal days sales basis) sales for April. Since excess inventory is a "mortal sin" at Toyota, I surmise then that the manufacturing capacity to supply the U.S. with Corollas is about what the April 2007 and 2008 sales were--around 32k. Do you know if there are ... Read More
