“I also called Toyota about a recall. I have 72,000 miles on the car and I have already replaced the tires 4 times the first set (originals) after only 12,000 miles I have had it alignments front and back twice. I continue to have tire wear and the car is all over the road after hitting 55mph I should be on my second set of tires there is also no shock absorbant on this car even going slow you just hit hard reguardless.

“Toyota Corolla ce at about 30k miles. Rattling sound occurs from the rear of vehicle while driving. Sound disappears when break pedal is applied. Sound comes on and off unexpectedly. Have taken vehicle to sears auto department, was told it's due to break pad wear, replaced all four pads, but the sound returned as soon as I drove out of sears parking lot. Have been to the auto department several times and the problem is still not solved. Since the sound is not effecting steering and breaking, I'm still driving the vehicle, hoping nothing bad will happen.”

“I purchased my brand new 2000 Toyota Corolla ce on may 20,2000. Within 4 to 5 days later I noticed when I was reaching speeds of 65-70mph on the highway my car would sway and wander down the lane of traffic. It has a push/pull effect to it.

I have had this vehicle into my dealer that I purchased it many times. They have taken air out of the tires, aligned the front end, aligned the rearend and camber. …”
