Im writing to let notice of a possible defect in my car. At about 33000 miles my clutch release bearing started to make noise. Dealer replaced it. At about 44000 miles it began to make same noise. Dealer replaced clutch release bearing and pressure plate. Considering it failed twice, I believe there is a defect in the release bearings on this vehicle. I searched for complaints on google and many other people also reported the same problem. I also believe it is a safety issue because the release bearing could seized up and failure could be dangerous. Transmission might get stuck in one gear. Thanks for your time and im writing only to inform of a potential faulty design in a part, considering all the reported problems on forums on google search engine, personal experience, and it could be a safety issue.

Our 2005 Toyota Corolla is having major problems shifting (lurching and stuck gears), and the car is now unsafe for us to drive on the road (we are likely to get rear-ended if we continue to drive). We have taken the car to our mechanic and been informed that we have a defective engine control module. This problem is described in Toyota's technical service bulletin tc014-06. There is an 8yr/80k mile warranty on this part, but our car has over 100k miles so Toyota claims that they have no responsibility to pay for the repair of this defect. However, given the safety concerns with driving the car (and our fear of causing an accident), we have no choice but to fix the defect and believe that Toyota should be held responsible for repairing the defect.
