“The rear lights (regular rear lights and brake lights) on my 1995 Toyota Corolla fail constantly and intermittently. When I replace the bulb(s), the problem is back within days. Actually, I do not even know if they have ever all worked for more than minutes! Sometimes they start working again by themselves. I have given up trying to keep all four light bulbs functioning. Many other corollas of the same year have the same problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #10080704, filed 2004-07, 50,000 miles“Due to the faulty electrical wiring(?) driving becomes extremely hazardous as the result of the left/right turn signals not working, which causes cars driving behind me to be oblivious of my intentions to turn. Also, although less dangerous but just as aggravating, is the interior lights failure to work; making the cumbersome and inconvenient chore of carrying around a flashlight a necessity.”
NHTSA complaint #10129521, filed 2005-07“The tail lights (stop lights) on my 1995 Toyota Corolla fail constantly and intermittently. When I replace the bulb(s), the problem is back within weeks. Sometimes they start working again by themselves. I have given up trying to keep all four light bulbs functioning. Sometimes when I press the brake pedal, the lights on the dashboard flicker. Many other Corolla's of the same year have the same problem. Most of the 95 corollas I see on the road have at least one non-functioning bulb. …”
NHTSA complaint #10000326, filed 2002-12“I have replaced the driver side seat belt 3 times and the oem part seems to be going out again, I have also replaced the tail lights 2 times and the lights just burn out I have seen many corollas with the same issues...”
