We have classified the 77 complaints from 2009 Toyota Corolla about ELECTRICAL SYSTEM into the following categories.
My car has 91,414 miles and has had multiple cylinder misfires with my normal daily commute of six miles each way. in three years on a 4 cylinder engine i have had three ignition coils replaced, twice within two and a half years and 10,468 miles on the #2 coil. all repairs have been completed by toyota certified repair facilities with toyota oem parts. this is not normal for a low mileage vehicle maintained with regular service.
