Got into what could've been a minor accident, but the car was totaled, however, the airbags did not even deploy. Before the accident, the seatbelt would lock at random times, which could cause an accident. I was making a u-turn on a state road. Once hit, the entire tire went under the car and the entire front came off, which was why i was surprised that the airbags did not go off.

Interior noise, several parts were replaced, but noise is not gone yet. Now right front door and dashboard started making a noise. Everytime i take my car to the dealership they tell me that noise can't be duplicated. As a result i usually have to ride with someone from the dealership to prove that noise is there. In my opinion some interior parts do not fit car's structure. *la

Purchased new 2003 toyota corolla on 05-27-03 -- vehicle delivered with metallic rattle in dash -- brought into dealer service on 07/11/03 -- informed by dealership that there is no fix for this -- toyota has to come up with a new part because the dashboard does not fit into the body correctly - we have to wait until a part is available -- there is not one at this time. *jb
