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…

Vehicle was in motion when the driver's side door started smoking and eventually burst into flames. Fire rescue was called but we managed to put out the fire with water before they arrived. This happened on 2/19/16 and to date toyota is yet to send someone to look at the vehicle. I am at my wits end with toyota.

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.

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…

My concern is with the brake recall on toyota corollas that was started on august 26th, 2009. First, the recall only applies to 19 states....what about those of us that drive across state lines? Or if the car is sold to someone from another state? Then it is ok if the brakes fail? We have been waiting since august to hear from them regarding this issue. Second, i no longer believe much (if anything) that toyota…
