Problems with 2005 Toyota Corolla EQUIPMENT

2005 toyota corolla stalled in a bad location, i could of got hit! some miles later car shifted ruff, some miles later engine light came on. i then took the car to the nearest place " autozone" to have test ran, test results was code p2716 i'm scared to drive this car any where!!!! *tr

2005 corolla, 60,000 miles: check engine light came on. car went into "safe" mode (idle speed) while doing 65mph. toyota replaced throttle body and the next day it did the same thing. toyota said the "new' throttle body they put in was defective. it's still at toyota waiting for another throttle body. this is a very dangerous situation. pulling out into traffic you do not know if it is going to go into safe mode or not, and of course, going down highway 50-70 mph there is a good chance of being rear-ended. this is not a safe situation. *tr

I am contacting odi nhtsa about a problem with my toyota corolla 2005, regarding the replacement of the charcoal vapor canister. back, in october 2007, my car's check engine light came on (this was when the mileage was around 41,200). by 'glen toyota nj' i came to know that the engine light was on, dew charcoal canister failure. also i was told: because the warranty is expired after 36000 miles, the total repair around $480 was paid by me. my frustration is, that it broke after warranty, but s l i g h t l y over 36,000 miles. i think, that according to federal regulations in toughening car emission requirements, an emission control device should last longer than just two and a half years. also i learned that usa government obligated all car manufacturers to extend warranty for exhaust system up to 80,000 miles. if you are in power, this is the right time to extend the warranty up to 80,000 for emission control system devices. also because of a huge amount of complains, particularly for charcoal vapor canisters toyota manufacturer should pronounce a recall. *tr sincerely isaac

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 toyota corolla. the contact stated that the condenser for the air conditioner was malfunctioning after being replaced once in the past. the vehicle was taken to a local repair shop where the contact was informed that the condenser and valves were leaking and needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but offered no assistance. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 72,000 and the current mileage was 92,000. updated 08/31/11 *bf updated 09/07/11

2005 toyota corolla did not pass emissions inspection. car taken to lia toyota, northampton, ma. dealer said car computer needed to be replaced but had to order part from toyota. so far it's been two weeks and the part may be delivered in another two weeks per toyota. over 1600 of these computers are on backorder with no delivery date supplied. i will have to pay for another emissions inspection, could e stopped by police and have my insurance increased for six years. i feel this is a known defect and toyota is not really responding to me or other customers and because the pert (very expensive) cannot be supplied before 4/30 i am incurring additional expenses. it should not take a month to get a part. the dealership is waiting for 12 of these computers and is being shipped two and has 3 cars that don't even run. *tr

I got a toyota corolla '95. everytime i release the gas pedal, it will make a jerk motion. the maintenance indicator light is on. i went to meineke this afternoon and paid 80 for the diagnostic check. luckily, the service tech is honest and told me about the engine control module. i will call the rodland toyota here in everett wa where i also bought the car in 2005. *tr

I own a 2005 toyota corolla. a few weeks ago, i noticed that my air conditioner was blowing hot air. when i had it looked at by a mechanic, i was told that debris got into the condenser and damaged it, requiring a repair. i researched the problem and discovered that toyota issued technical service bulletin ac002-06 "lower grille mesh protection cover," which acknowledges that the failure to include a protection cover near the mesh grille has caused debris to get into the air conditioner condenser, and thereby damaging it. toyota has included the grille protection cover in subsequent toyota corolla models, but it refuses to add the cover to the older models or reimburse customers for the expense in replacing damaged condensers that have resulted from this design defect. *tr

I've been driving a 2005 corolla ce when all of a sudden the a/c stopped working. it blows warm air, warmer then the air temperature of outside. i live in the lower desert of southern california where temperatures reach up to 115 degrees. according to technical service bulletin ac002-06, toyota failed to protect the compressor. with daily use, rocks continue to damage the compressor until the ac stopped working. at times i felt weak after getting into my car after a day of sitting in my works parking lot. i'm extremely hot and have had onset of headaches while driving this vehicle. *tr

A/c condenser which went out on monday. i've discovered that toyota issued tsb ac002-06 admitting that the condenser is flawed. however, because it was not recalled, they are not responsible. i am having it repaired because i live in new orleans and the heat is unbearable. this is a totally unfair practice. i think that these issues should be illegal since they've admitted the flaw. i was told that there is no protection for the new condenser. it was corrected in the 2007 model but not the 2005. i am livid at the fact that toyota is so uncaring about the 2005 owners. i should be reimbursed for the repair ($677) and, also, advised as to how i can prevent this from happening again. where can i find mesh to protect the new condenser? *tr

I have a 2005 toyota corolla. there is no shield to protect the ac condenser which was hit by a rock and now has a leak in it. the cost to repair the condenser will run 500-600 dollars, but if there is still no shield installed to protect the new part then the same thing will probably happen again. in models after 2005 toyota has installed a piece to protect the condenser, they should be providing this type of part to the 2005 models without cost. *tr

The a/c condenser was replaced due to toyota's admitted design flaw as per their technical service bulletin ac002-06 titled lower grille mesh protection cover. which informs an owner that their a/c condenser is unprotected which will cost them $590. however, toyota failed to back their product up by reimbursing it. this is safety hazard in the southwest because of the extreme heat and if someone with children goes to turn their air conditioning on and it does not work this poses health risks. *tr

My complaint is with my 2005 toyota corolla le 1.8l. i bought this car new, and since i have owned it, the air conditioning compressor has been damaged by rocks and destroyed under normal driving conditions. the first time it happened i thought it was a fluke, and paid for it out of my own pocket and got it repaired by a toyota dealership ($1000 repair). it was repaired about a year ago, and it stopped working again last fall. i have put off getting it repaired again for fear that the repair will only last another 6months to a year. i have heard that this is a common problem, and i believe it is a faulty design on toyota's part. *tr

The 2005 toyota corolla has a defective temperature control system in that whenever the vehicle's air conditioning activates or while on the two defrost settings are on, at idle speeds the vehicle surges or accelerates forward to the extent it overrides the braking action at a stopped position. *nm

Road debris caused hole in air conditioner condenser. location of unprotected condenser has cause two replacements. dealer has no answer to solution for protection. this is the first thing i check on new cars. help? *tr

2005 toyota corrolla s, bought on 08/28/2005. refusal of carmax report, why previous owner returned car. had to bring car back after a week having hard start up. dealership stated needed new "update" for computer. a month later brought car back same problem, another "update" needed they said. three months later car accelerated on interstate 4, brougt car back and told me nothing was wrong with it. then in 2007 parking car at 2 miles per hr car suddenly accelerated uphill, no brakes, swerved car to avoid glass doors to a tennants apt. landed on top of bush, tried to reverse and bumper was pulled off. after car was repaired, car then accelerated while reversing and hit another vehicle, no damage to other vehicle, my rear bumper has dent in right corner. in 2009, exiting off of route 9 us highway, car accelerated went up embankment, reversed off of embankment and came down hard off of curb damaged left tire rod axel, brakes locked, car is suppose to have anti-lock brakes. *cn

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 with windows because they whistle and also paint flakes off from a small ding. *nm
