I am writing with concern to see if the recall on my daughters 2003 toyota air bag issue was truly fixed, she was involved in a traffic accident where according to everyone's opinion the airbags should have went off however they did not. Is there any way to see if the recall work was actually done by the company who states they did the repair ??

P0446- evaporate system vent control circuit I was driving normally like any other day when I noticed the "check engine light" turned on. I went to a mechanic they told me that the vapor canistor had an issue but that, thats completely the car manufactures problem because the part# vc4079 is under lifetime warranty so it shouldn't be damaged.

Takata recall I have submitted papers of numerous accidents and also engine and transmission failures my vehicle has given me. When I first obtained it, it had no struts nor do my air bags deploy when I get into vehicular accidents. I am unable to go to a dealership and get my vehicle checked but because it's non operating at the moment. I do however have open availability for a car inspection at my home if you guys were to send someone to come take a look at it.

I was driving at a track event and my engine started to knock, my oil pressure light came on. I drove it back to my parking spot, loaded it on a friends trailer and got it home. I checked and topped off my oil before leaving but we found out it was due to oil starvation.

While driving the car, noticed bad smell. Stopped and came out from the vechicle and it started on fire from the engine compartment.

Catalytic converter failed and replaced by dealership under service campaign at 69,811 miles has now failed again at 152,000 miles. Toyota notified at they declined to provide repair again at there expense. I had a honda go 250,000 and never have a problem with the converter. There has to be an inherent problem in the one in my toyota corolla !! Also other recall on airbags they do not have parts to fix.

In 9/2007 the transmission and clutch went out on my manual 2003 corolla. Conveniently, it was beyond the warranty period. I spent a significant amount of $ repairing. Again, in march 2015 the transmission and clutch are going out on my manual vehicle. After researching, I found numerous owners experiencing the same problems. There is a serious defect in the 2003 manual corolla that was apparently fixed in the 2004 version. I have contacted toyota several times. They will do nothing. They told me to email...

I experienced a stuck accelerator pedal in my 2003 corolla.I tried to kick the pedal loose and could not.I ended up grabbing the key and shutting the engine down to avoid losing control on the snow covered road and hitting traffic in front of me.I later determined that the throttle linkage had lost normal freedom of movement in the cold weather,even though I had cleaned the inside of the throttle body some months earlier.I believe most people would have had an accident in my situation.The only thing that saved me from an accident was my mechanical knowledge of cars enabling me to make the right decisions to avoid an accident. *Tr

It's been almost a year since the first time the cil turned on. It stays on for a couple days then stays off for like a month. It has been doing that since 2012. I had my check engine light checked by a tech and he said that he has seen the p0770 code many times for the matrix and corolla. He printed out the tsb (http://www.Matrixowners.Com/tsb/t-eg020-02.Pdf) and advised me to take it to a toyota service center. I took it to carson toyota in ca and they pretty much said the only thing I can do is fix the issue out...

I was driving home from work when the transmission locked up. I pulled over turned the car off and back on. I managed to put the car in first gear and make it back home even though the transmission was making this loud grinding noise. I brought the car for repair and they tell me I need a new transmission. Just 6 weeks ago I had the clutch replaced. After investigating this issue I have learned this is a very common problem. Something must be done about this. *Tr

I was driving the car, a toyota corolla 2003 on july 12 and while driving it turn on the check engine light, next morning while driving the car in a highway the car turn off. I didn't have an accident because it was too early in the morning, after couple attempts the car turned on, I call a toyota place, where I do all maintenance of my cars, and after I called I went there so they can run a test. The result was shift solenoid "e" malfunction. The worker told me that most likely the problem is the computer, that there was a recall but on the corolla 2006 not 2003. Hopefully you can help me with this. He told me to file a complain so I don't know where. *Tr
