Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) Problems of Toyota Corolla

Ive owned this car for 3 weeks and have had to put 2 quarts of oil in every week because every morning I start my car lot of blue smoke is coming out my exhaust. This is because the design temperature for the pistons in this engine was 120 degrees celsius and the actual temperatures reached are 160 degrees celsius, which causes the petroleum oil to sludge up and carbon to accumulate in the piston oil holes that allow oil to flow to the piston rings. This blocks those oil holes, preventing oil from getting to the piston rings and subsequently the piston rings wear very, very quickly, then allowing oil to be able to slip past the piston rings, into the combustion chamber and out the exhaust. This will lead to replacing the pistons which is an extremely expensive and labor intensive job just because Toyota made a mistake with the way they built the engine. It's a shame that Toyota hasn't recalled this vehicle because there are countless amounts of records on these cars having that problem. The car can break down after so much oil has been burned and that could happen un expectedly. It's drivable but not safe.

Engine cuts out under acceleration. On hotter that 80 degree days it will not run up over 3000 rpms. Cuts out and will not accelerate to speed unless very slowly accelerating. Have had to dealer and they tell me it's the ecm, but years ago that was replaced under a recall for the same reason. �supposedly�. I'm thinking either the work was not performed or the replacement units are faulty as well.

I was pulling into my driveway at 1 mile per hour and I put my foot on the brake to stop my car and it wouldn't stop! the engine revved up and my car went through my fence into my backyard. I tried in vain to stop my car, I kept pressing down on my brake, (5 times) with no success. I finally put my automatic transmission into park and it finally came to a stop. I was extremely shaken up since I thought I was going to die! I checked my car for damages, I noticed that my passenger side view mirror was damaged and there was other damage under my car. My car is only 3 months old and has 950 miles on it. I have been driving for over 30 years and I have never encountered anything like this. This happened on November 27, 2014, thanksgiving day at 10:00 am. The weather conditions were cloudy with a temperature of 34 degrees.

. . . . . . . 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. However, Toyota has redesigned the Corolla to corrected it in 2007 but did not do anything for the 2005 and 2006 year models. Living in the southern united states where summer temperatures reach 120 degrees this a health hazard due to extreme heat.

I owned a Toyota Corolla 2007 and the engine stalled once. It happened when I was getting off a highway and the vehicle took a 180 degree turn on the ramp. Thank god that there was no car behind me. I thought it did something wrong to cause the engine to stall. This week I read the news that Toyota admitted that there may be a engine defect. I hope that Toyota is taking step to correct the problem.

I own a 2004 Toyota Corolla (45,000 miles) and the check engine light illuminated, (read code p0456, emission control evap small leak). My investigation revealed that there were many other vehicles with the same issue and Toyota has corrected this problem with replacing the fuel filler tube at the owners expense (approx. $300. 00). Should this not be a recall due to the vehicle being only 2yrs old and a emission problem, that has happened to many other consumers? I feel Toyota should step up and replace part at no cost to owner, the car is too new to have problems.

I have a 99 Toyota Corolla ve and it was fine until a week ago when a malfunction indicator lamp lit up. I took my car to a mechanic where the car electronic system was checked. It showed that my car has a evap control system vent control circuit malfunction. According to the mechanics, it would cost me 400-500 dollars to fix it besides a good amount of money just for a diagnostic test. After the check up, the malfunction indicator was off but then come back later. I learned that many other Toyota cars have the same problems and also the malfunction indicator light still on even after fixing the problem. This is a problem of a faulty circuit that would not allow the canister to vent and that causes gas to become trapped in the canister and makes it break down. Thus, resulting in the charcoal canister not working properly. I don't know how safe driving my car if the problem persists and it would cause problem with smog check, gas, fire. . .

Strong sulfur smell while driving car. Has been present since I bought the car almost one year ago this August. Dealer said had to do with additives in gasoline and should stop, but hasn't stopped. Especially strong in the mornings after car has sat over night.

Sulfur like smell enters the car while running, especially evident in wet weather. Garage says Toyota has sent out a technical advisory stating the gasoline is the problem. Have not had a problem with any of the other vehicles I drive. I believe the issue may well be the placement of the fresh air intake in relation to the exhaust system (?). It tends to make one have headaches while driving. This has been ongoing for at least 4-5 months. 2003 Toyota Corolla, new.

Purchased 2003 Toyota Corolla in October 2002. Car is emitting a very noticeable sulfur odor especially when coming to a stop at traffic lights particularly when the engine is cold. I have taken it to the dealer twice and was told the problem is the gasoline I purchase. According to my dealer, some gas stations put an additive in the gas that creates this smell. I have never had this problem with any other car.
