Last week, as I was driving on a paved road, I heard that maybe I hit a small rock, however, I did not see any rocks on the road. The next day, my ac stopped working. I found a posting on the internet that the a/c condensers on 2005/2006 Corollas are not protected and there was a technical service bulletin issued by Toyota- number ac002-06. Toyota has redesigned the Corolla to correct this problem in 2007 leaving 2005-2006 customers in the dust. I spoke with the Toyota dealer in chantilly on 8/17/12, and he said that the technical bulletin was issued only for Toyota mechanics' use, and that my car was no longer under warranty, even though I only have 35,000 miles on the car. He also wanted to charge me with $130 to diagnose the problem. I went to my personal mechanic instead, and he replaced the a/c condenser, charging me $556 for his service. He also said there was no way to protect this condenser so this does not happen in the future. The vehicle has very few miles, and Toyota is aware of the problem. I request that a recall be issued so this problem is corrected and other customers like me do not have to pay for the temporary repair of the improper design. Thank you.
My 2006 Toyota Corolla was on a recall list for the ecm. I was watching the car's behavior closely for warning signs/ problems related to the ecm. Surprisingly instead of problems starting,harsh shifting or stopping while driving (all listed as possible "symptoms" of ecm issues)- the opposite problem occurred. My car tried to accelerate when stopped! when fully stopped at traffic lights/stop signs, with my foot on the brake pedal,all of a sudden, my car engine revved and the car tried to accelerate. I quickly pushed down even harder on the brake pedal to stay stopped and not crash into the car in front of me or go the intersection. Other instances occurred when parking after a short drive doing errands. Again,the engine revved up and attempted to accelerate while stopped,preparing to put the car into park. . . And once again I had to hold it with the brake. These"behaviors" happened so frequently that I finally resorted to putting the car in neutral to be safe when I was stopped. I also remembered from news reports that car mats could possibly shift and interfere with pedals so I had removed my mats(original mats attached to hooks) to ensure they could not be an issue although it seemed obvious they had never moved off their hooks towards the pedals. I called customer service at Toyota corporate to seek their advice and fully described the problem as I have here. They said Toyota mechanics would have to get the car to replicate the problem in order to fix it. I assured them it was really happening, but it was not predictable. Soon after this,my local Toyota dealership called to let me know that there was an opening for me to come in and have my car looked at since they had been made aware that I was having a problem with my brakes ! I let them know that my brakes were not the problem but was with acceleration when I was stopped with my foot on the brake.
The a/c blows cool air not cold for about 20 minutes and stops blowing cool. You can turn the a/c off for a few minutes and then turn it back on and the air blows cool again for a few minuets then goes back to warm. I've noticed a slight smell (not bad) coming thru the vents sometimes and when I have the ac on, it seems to fluctuate between cool (never cold) and lukewarm. I also feel like I have to have it on the 2nd setting to feel air moving.
I have Toyota Corolla 2006 le in which ac stop working as of 4/25/10. It was working last week.
Air condition - the air condition stopped working. It is very difficult to travel in summer without air conditioner working in the car. Toyota has issued a technical service bulletin indicating that the a/c condenser is not properly protected; the number for this report is ac002-06. It costs $300 to repair the a/c condenser and $300 in labor for a total of $600. Appreciate, if Toyota can recall the vehicle and fix the air conditioner problem.
I had my foot on the brake turning into my drive when suddenly the car accelerated and ran into the apartment building wall. I pushed harder on the brake but it would not stop and was still accelerating after running thru the wall . The police report said it slung dirt from the front tires, 24 feet.
We bought a 2006 certified Corolla le on June 19, 2010 from a dealership in northern virginia. On August 18, 2010 my daughter was driving the car and while at stop light earlier that day her car hesitated and didn't want to move. That evening around 8:30 pm as she was driving her car, the road curved slightly to the right but she was not able to turn the wheel or depress the brakes. She crossed the on coming lane and the car was totaled. She was able to walk away from this with only hundreds of small cuts from glass. The initial thought was that she had hydroplaned but after further talking to my daughter she said that she tried to turn the steering wheel to follow the road but she couldn't because it was too hard and the brakes would not depress either. I had my mechanic go to the yard where the car was stored and read the computer and this is what he found: check engine light find p0430 evap system pressure sensor high input and in the history he found 2 codes: the same p0430 and b2799 engine immobilizer system fault. So as it seems now the car did shut off and she was not able to control the steering or brakes due to not having power. I have read that this is not the first report of this happening. Something should be done before someone gets hurt really bad or there is a fatal accident. I would like to know if being a certified car, should this have been detected before the car was sold? also, is the computer read before the car is sold to see if there has been or is a problem? if it is not read, then maybe it should be a new policy for the dealerships.
Air conditioning condensor broke. Car has less than 48,000 miles on it.
I have a 2006 Toyota Corolla. I was driving down the road 50 mph when my car when my car just stopped without any warning. I had it towed to the dealership in el cajon, CA. They replaced the computer module on my car. My car now shifts odd at different times a hard jerking and then it shifts normally again. Also as soon as my cars computer module was replaced the car alarm beeps at 1:16 am every morning. I am really frustrated because my car is not the same. I took my car into the dealership, they said the alarm was too sensitive, and they adjusted it. I am concerned that these problems are effecting my transmission. I only have 58,000 miles on this car, I do not know what to do about my car. I am concerned that my car will go out again and me and my passengers will be injured. Please help me, I do not feel safe driving my car. Cynthia reid 619 749-2939.
On August 6, 2008, I was driving down hwy 61 to clarksdale, ms when my accelerator stuck; I tried using the brakes, but it was too late and I hit a large animal and lost control of my car. My car flipped over and turned on it's side and then landed back down. I couldn't believe what happened and I was scraped up and shaken up really bad. This could have been a terrible tragedy, but I survived this crash with only minor scrapes and bruises. I didn't call the police because the car was driveable and the accelerator wasn't sticking anymore. The same week I took the car to a toyoto dealer to check out the accelerator, and they couldn't find anything wrong with it. My car received over $1,300. 00 worth of damages as a result of the crash.
: the contact stated that when the air conditioner or heat is in use, the contact gets a nose infection. The contact stated that there is no odor in the air that comes out of the vents, but feels that the infection may be caused by the air being saturated with chemicals. When a doctor was consulted it was determined the contact had rosacea. When a service dealer was consulted, the ventilation was inspected and is unsure of what is causing the infection.
