Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Both my 1997 and my 2005 Toyota Corolla have rims that rust onto the car. By that I mean that with the lug nuts removed and a pry bar and a torch with map gas I am still not able to remove the rims from the vehicle. Monroe muffler and brake took a large mallet and about ten whacks per wheel to remove the rims. This poses a danger to me as I am not able to change a flat tire should I have one. I am stranded.”

NHTSA complaint #10311136, filed 2010-02, 120,000 miles

“Toyota issued a technical service (#ac002-06) bulletin regarding the condenser not being properly protected for the 05 and 06 Corolla models. They said that you could take the car to the dealership and they would install netting around the condenser- but if it is already broken- then you are out of luck. Mine has been broken for two years-now I am now spending over $500 to replace the condenser and my co-worker drives an 06 model and hers has been broken for a year. This is a safety concern for people driving in extreme heat. …”
