Check engine light came on 11/14/10 and car started slam shifting, and died on freeway. The car started again, and I took it to xx in moreno valley next day. Dealer said faulty ecu (dtc p2716) and the part must be ordered. I asked if they could provide a loaner car because I don't feel safe driving the car with a faulty ecm. I was told part will most likely be in Tuesday or Wednesday. The dealer said a loaner car would not be provided unless the car totally stop operating. I live in san bernardino and work in moreno valley, approx 26 miles one way. I have aaa towing basic for 6 miles. I would usually purchase aaa southern CA automobile club towing for up to 100 miles, but because I bought a new reliable Toyota, I just got the basic towing in case the battery died. I don't have towing to get the car to moreno valley in case it completely stops running. I'm worried about safety and logistics! I don't trust this Toyota Corolla. Dealer will not keep the car and give me a loaner until the part arrives. Will Toyota be responsible if this car stalls again in traffic and causes an accident? will Toyota be responsible if this car needs to be towed to the dealer? will Toyota be responsible if the transmission becomes damaged from the hard shifting? will Toyota be responsible if the car catches fire from faulty electrical wiring? this Corolla has had brake and steering problems. Brake fluid always low, although brakes verified as repaired and okay by technician. The wheel bearing on the front driver's side wheel is going bad and the tire will not hold air. The tire has been examined and is good. I smell electrical burning once in awhile. The belt tensioner pulley bearing bad. Occasionally, smell antifreeze, which indicates a leaking head gasket. Wind noise, windows creak when moved up/down. The locks squeak. The interior rattles. The paint job is runny, weld points are sloppy. Car stalling, slam shifting, then cutting off. The car has a little over 50,000 miles.

My 2003 Toyota Corolla which was bought brand new in may of 2002 has had several dashboard and radio issues. Two months after purchase the whole dashboard needed to be replaced. Afterwhich my radio no longer was flush with dash, the dealer attempted to fix several times to no avail contacted Toyota directly, they sent a manfacturing rep whom fixed the radio however created a bigger gap b/w radio and rest of console. Toyota is considering this a manufacturing design not a defect. Was told would "rob peter to pay paul" in order to fix. Now dash is falling apart again as well as the rest of the front console. Looks as though was glued together.

I am experiencing electrical problems w/my dash and spoiler(doesn't light up fully, causing difficulty to see graphics during night and early morning driving. ) all fuses have been checked/replaced, however this problem still persist. Advised per dealership to disconnect spoiler light due to it "only being cosmetic". Also experiencing problems w/odors from air conditioning coming inside the vehicle. I was advised these odors would subside, due to service maintenance of air conditioning unit. These expenses have proven to be costly. Never have I been advised/notified of any recalls on my vehicle. Even during repair from dealership,I wasn't advised the above items were being questioned.
