2001 Toyota Corolla Engine cooling Problems

“I have read about issues concerning toyotas stalling out. I have a 2001 Corolla and my car has stalled out 4 times in the last three months. There was no precursor that was similar to each event. Each time I was in a parking garage or slowing to stop at a stoplight. However, I shudder to think if this happens on the freeway.”

“The engine on my 2001 Toyota Corolla s had the timing chain jump, the engine suffered damaged valves, 3 pistons were broken and damaged others. My car had only slightly over 66,000 miles on it. The Toyota dealer where I purchased the car wouldn't do anything because the car was out of warranty, but I have never heard of a Toyota engine going bad with such low mileage. It was lucky this happened on a city street and not on the freeway.”

“I was driving my 2001 Corolla uphill its timing chain broke and the engine turned off. I had maintenance done via Toyota at 90k and it happened at 92k. I have no other problems or recommendations from Toyota. This is big ticket item and it cost about 2k to fix the car.”

“Vehicle wasent running correctly for the past few days, check engine light came on. Vehicle was brought to ira Toyota in tewksbury, ma Toyota called me back stating it needed a charcoal canister. Vehicle has 40,000 miles... Just 4,000 miles out of warranty, I called Toyota headquarter's they did not help, also melinda rosso from ira Toyota of tewksbury declined to help us as loyal Toyota customers. Total bill was near 450.00 us.”

“I purchased a used vehicle from keyes Toyota one year ago. It was advertised certified, however when I bought the car they would not honor it. I have been back and forth to the dealership with repairs. Recently the check engine light came on and I spent over $700 replacing the 02 sensors and flushing my brakes. This did not fix the problem and I have to spend another $4-$500 replacing the air flow meter. The mechanic told me that these problem should not be happening to such a young car.”
