In august 2009 the computer was replaced on my 2007 toyota corolla because it died in the middle of the intersection. since that time, my car will suddenly rev up and accelerate on its own. i took it to the dealer service center a few weeks ago and after having it for a week, returned it to me and stated nothing was wrong. on november 2nd, my car suddenly accelerated pulling into my driveway and i had to knock it out of gear and stand up on the brake to get it to stop. i called the dealer and he said to call toyota that he would not do anything with the car. i have a car in my garage that i cannot drive for safety reasons, no help from toyota, and i will never drive it again as i have had re-occurring nightmares because of this incident as my twins were playing in the driveway and i had just passed my son on his tricycle and stopped and put my daughter on my lap to pull into the garage when this happened. i have asked for a full refund on the car and tony stubblefield with reliable toyota in springfield mo said that the best he could do was allow me to trade it in there. this did happen to me, i have never in my life filed a law suit, and i would like this car taken away and the situation rectified or i will be left with no other alternative but to seek the services of an attorney. this stress is causing me health issues. *tr

The jack that was delivered with my 2007 toyota corolla collapsed twice while i was changing a tire. the front fender was damaged while it bounced onto the tire. it was lucky that i was not injured. i contacted toyota and was told that the incident was recorded at its national headquarters under file #200710110662 and was told to contact the local dealer to resolve the issues. the dealer ordered a new jack and compared it side by side with the defective jack in the normally raised position and determined that it was unstable. the jack was replaced and the fender damage resulted from the collapsed jack was also replaced by the dealer under factory warranty. it is likely that the same batch of jacks could have similar problems and could cause similar collapses that can cause injury to users. *tr
In 2007, i had purchased a toyota corolla le. i had not noticed this problem until 2 weeks after purchasing the vehicle. the problem lies with the airbag not flushed with the dashboard and creates dips and valleys. the passenger airbag is sunk into the dashboard. after speaking with the dealer, they replaced the airbag and told me to let it sit for a while and the airbag and dashboard would align. however, after letting it sit for nearly two years, it is still the same condition. on almost every oil change, i would complain about the problem to the dealership and they would advise me to give it some more time. i filed a complaint with toyota customer satisfaction department and they researched the case. in the end, the toyota customer satisfaction department told me that there is nothing they can do. they informed me that they have sold many 2007 corolla's that are known to have this problem with the airbag. they cannot guarantee me that because the airbag sinks into the dash, it will deploy when it needs to. *tr
In march, 2007, i had an accident. the rear end of the car was completely broken. i thought it was totaled. safeco had it repaired. the trunk does not stay secure, i am continuously taking my vehicle to the body shop for repairs to the body. the body parts just pop in (plastic) and the trunk lid does not stay shut. i am very disappointed, as well as it being very dangerous when i am riding down the road and the trunk's lid flops open, causing blind visibility . *tr
