Started car in december 2015, two weeks before christmas. dash lights did not come on automatically as they always did at night, nor did they come on after manually turning them on, but after 10 minutes of driving they came on. next night again no lights, this time i hit a bump, dash lights flashed on then off again until next bump in road and came on and stayed on. next night, no lights. hit bumps in road but still no lights. my dash lights never came on again. i looked online and found that post after post after post of 2007 toyota corolla owners are experiencing same problem. that's when i found out i also had no tail lights! mechanic checked fuses and tail light relay, all fine. checked for loose wires, no loose wires. mechanic puzzled. walnut creek toyota dealer wants $350.00 just to look at it. after seeing all these posts with same problem, toyota dealer should know what it is! i hope this will become a recall.

I had my vehicle in idle and retracted my drivers side power windows down to pull my nephew into my lap to say goodbye to him. at this time about 5 minutes after starting my car the window panel, as well as below the door panel towards the speaker a heavy smell of burning plastic spread around the car and white smoke started billowing out through the slit the window glass retracts back into. at this time i shut the car off and waited until the toxic smoke had escaped. this issue with the master switch has been reported by toyota for 2009 corollas only. this could have posed a serious health risk had it gone unnoticed. after doing the diagnostic, it was found that it was in fact a faulty switch that probably "got wet". if a car is catching on fire after a simple florida rain shower, that is not the consumer's fault. faulty manufacturing is the case here. waiting on toyota corporate response or will seek prompt legal action.

The ac is not working properly, maybe the condenser or fan or both

Looked up a recall on the emc of 2007 toyota corollas. my car was rear ended on 12/31/2014. ever since, my car has been having electrical problems. my radiator fan is not working and had to be hot wired by a mechanic for it to stay on while running. my ac is not working, my shifter is stuck in park which is caused by a bad solenoid. i have had it inspected for over 8 hours by certified mechanics at midas, and they couldn't fix it. they said that every test they did was reading that nothing was wrong but my ac and radiator fan and solenoid are not working. my car stalls out occasionally, it wont start sometimes, and it is idling louder than before.
