The heater worked for just a couple days and then the heater began doing the…

    Since i bought my car used last year, the passenger side window has been sticking sometimes. I thought that it usually happened when the weather was warm but realized that it even happened when in cold weather, so it is probably not weather related. When i want to put the window down, it has been popping down like it was stuck on something, i don't even feel like putting it down sometimes because i feel like im…

    The front passenger automatic window rattles and sounds like it is going to crack when window is rolled up and down on my 2005 toyota corolla. There was a recall for the 2003-2004 toyotas, but not the 2005. The dealer said the problem is with the window bolt, but refused to repair for free since the recall was for the 2003-2004 model year vehicles. The issue i have is the same as described in that recall notice. *tr

This is a safety hazard for driving at night as the headlight is dimmed to oncoming cars as wells as it lessens visibility for the driver. It should not be the responsibility of the vehicle owner to have the headlight lenses replaced when the cloudiness could be due to possible…

    Rpm's increase when my foot is on the brake and the force of the rpm increase decompresses the brake pedal and my foot slips of the brake pedal. I have not experienced an accident due to this but it worries me that it may. This happens on a daily basis. I heard this may be normal but now reading that other people experienced this, i plan to get it checked. Aside from this, there is dash board rattling, seal issue…
