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.
Rattling noise from right side of the engine at start up or cold startups.
My car was running fine until recently, when i had a few services done at the dealership: brake fluid, transmission drain/fill, oil change, and fuel injection service (this last item i did not ask for or approve beforehand). a couple days later, my car began stalling when i was driving (while coming to a stop/ not pushing the accelerator). no cel / overheating/ low oil issues- always regular maintenance. took it back to the dealer, they said the engine had low compression and they suspected a cracked engine block. they also checked to see to see if my ecm was updated. that was all they said after being there 5 hours. i had to leave for work, brought it back a few days later, they said they didn't have time to look at it without an appointment. a few days later, my car wouldn't start at all. took it back in, they said they didn't know why it had low compression/ stalling/ not starting because no oil or coolant leaks or mixing, no overheating, etc. told me the only option is to replace engine. (cost of tearing engine apart to find crack or cracked gasket not worth cost in labor ...
I own a 2009 toyota corolla le 1.8 that has defective piston rings which causes the engine to consume excessive oil and it has caused two of the engine cylinders to malfunction. i have read many complaints in the internet of toyota corolla owners who own the same type of vehicle as mine years 2009-2011. they as well as myself have reported this issue to toyota u.s.a. without getting any satisfying answer from toyota. a toyota representative contacted me today and told me that they do not recall vehicles for repairs unless they receive an order from the nhtsa. my auto mechanic told me that he has received many 2009-2011 toyota corolla customers who have come to his shop to have their engines on their toyota corollas replaced or rebuilt to correct the factory defect of the piston rings on their toyota corollas 2009-2011. i researched in the internet and found out that that many toyota corolla owners are dealing with the same problem with their cars' engines due to the toyota factory defect of the piston rings in their toyota corolla models 2009-2011 and i even read some complaints of 2014, 2015 and 2016 ...
I do believe the engine is faulty, since i've had my corolla it's always used sooo much oil and it's not leaking a drip. i have several coworkers that have a corolla s and they have the same problem. it's gotten worse to we're it used to much oil it was below the dip stick and before i could catch it, it has messed my motor up. my car still runs but has a very loud rattle in the motor now when it starts because of the oil consumption.
My 2009 toyota corolla has the same problem as the recall on 2009 camry. extreme use of oil. when the time for my 5000-mile oil change my mechanic told me there were less than 2 qts left in the crankcase. since that oil change, the car has used 1 qt in 2000 miles. i visited the poway, ca. toyota dealership but since there was no recall on corollas they would not even discuss repairs with no charges. how can it be fair that one vehicle the camry is covered with a recall and another model the owners must pay for the repairs of the same problem the camry had but with a recall didn't have to pay anything.
One month after buying my car from another consumer, i noticed the oil was low. i filled full the first day i got it and had not put any serious mileage on it. two weeks later i start to hear this ticking noise and realized the oil filter needed changed the prior week. changed it. nothing happened. this ticking occurs on start up, gets louder with the rpm, and vibrates the entire car at stops. took my car to toyota the next month thinking it was the accelerator belt or the connection rod bearing plate. they had me pay pay 120$ to take off the valve hood only to tell me i needed a new engine and there was nothing they could do. i did a bunch of research after this and hundreds of consumers have complained about the overconsumption of oil from this year's model leading to the failure of many engines. toyota still hasn't admitted fault for this and there has not been a recall when there should be. this is supposed to be an 'honest, reliable' company but if they expect consumers to pay 2 to 6 thousand dollars for a new engine that was their fault...i ...
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. the contact stated that the vehicle was burning oil at an abnormal rate. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 142,000. the vin was not available.
I bought my car in november of 2012 with about 70,000 miles and quickly noticed it burned a lot of oil. shortly after that i received a notice from toyota admitting they had a problem with these engines burning oil. they told me to have my car tested at the dealership. i had the car tested and to my surprise it passed the test. the dealership told me to take the test again after 1 year. the next time i tested the car it failed the oil consumption test by a large margin. toyota refused to now repair the car because i had reached 151,000 miles and the warranty expired at 150,000 miles. toyota knew all along that the car had oil consumption problems and now they refuse to stand by their product. everywhere i drive the car now i have to carry extra oil with and on long trips its a real issue. there is no excuse for that and we pay a lot of money for these cars. i'm very disappointed in toyota for not standing by their product.
My 2009 toyota corolla has over heat problem so i take it to mechanic and they found water pump issue, i replace it. problem still continue and take it to dealer place and they diagnostic vehicle and came up with few problem which cost me $1187, after they fixed they further diagnostic and said engine needs to be replace and they also said transition could failure down the road and they estimate me another $4500 to replace engine from different car which is has 75000 miles on it.
Back in january, 2018 my engine would knock when i started the car. took the car for it's scheduled oil change only to find out that there was only a quart of oil that drained. my oil light never came on. needless to say the engine continued to consume oil. took the car to my mechanic and was informed that my engine needed to either be replaced or rebuilt. i opted to have it rebuilt. i paid $4000 dollars for this. got the car back and drove for a couple of days and checked my oil only to find it was down 1 1/2 quarts of oil after only 2 days of driving on basically a brand new motor. i'm still making payments on my vehicle and have fallen behind several times to make repairs to my vehicle. so far in the two years i've owned this car i've had to replace the fuel pump/filter, water pump x2, front wheel bearings, timing chain tensioner, spark plugs x4. this is getting really expensive. the dealership i purchased the vehicle from refused to even look at the vehicle a week later when i complained about it misfiring.
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. while driving 55 mph, the vehicle lost power, stalled, and the check engine indicator illuminated. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with error code p2103. the local dealer was not contacted. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage was 60,000.
Immediately following a cold soak startup my 2009 toyota corolla makes a very loud rattle noise within the engine compartment for approximately 1-2 seconds. it will consistently do this upon cold startup, and is a known defect within the camshaft timing gear assembly of the vehicle. please see attached documentation for more details, including the $896 repair quoted from the dealer (page 2). it is my understanding that this issue can eventually lead to more serious issues with the engine, and i think it is a shame that the dealer did not catch this earlier/ is now quoting such a high price for repair. it is my hope that something can be done to make toyota better respect it's customer's satisfactions/safety, and take care of this known issue at no cost to it's customers.
Takata airbags-this is third time that i am filling this out. this website is difficult and i could not check all the boxes that i needed. this car had so many problems. it is the worst car that i have even owned. all of the paint was peeling off. i had to have the engine rebuilt. the lights kept blowing out. i had an accident and i hit the steering with my face. the airbag never deployed. i knocked myself out. i had facial contusion and almost knocked my teeth out.
Takata recall. excessive oil consumption [one quart every 1200 miles] engine top end has a very loud rattling noise lasting about one to two minutes only if car has sat for a period of more than three to five hours.
