This car only has 65,000 miles on it and has hardly been driven given the fact that it is 4 years old. I heard a loud rattling noise and took it to a mechanic. He told me that a bolt came off the heat shield by the gas tank. I'm surprised that such a lightly driven car could already have such expensive problems. As stated here, toyota has a new design for heat shield which clearly gives problems:…

My husband went under the car and found the heat shield for the gas tank loose. The next day i brought it to my mechanic. He had to replace the gas tank hanger. The plastic where they put the bolt had split apart. The bolt was broken in half and rusted. The new gas tank…

Thankfully i was only going about 20 miles per hour and my car came to a stop on its own, on a non-busy road. I was then able to turn the engine back on and drive 10 minutes back home. This was the first time this had…

December 17, 2009 the ecm unit failed in our 2007 toyota corolla. Engine cut off. This is a known problem. There was an angel on my daughter's shoulder as she was on a low traffic city street when this happened and she was able to pull over safely. If this had happened on the freeway it could've been deadly. *tr

The vehicle check engine light comes on. The codes identify it as p0456. When we took it to the dealer, they tried to tell us that an animal had made a small pinhole in the gas return line. They wanted to charge 600.00 to replace the tank or they could temporarily fix it until we could get that done. The temporary fix after a few months opened and we got the alert again. Taking it back they said the temp fix was…
