Consumer Description

ONE SATURDAY AFTERNOON, MY 2006 COROLLA WITH ONLY 32K MILEAGE ON IT JUST STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY (I-880 SOUTH BOUND) IN OAKLAND, CA JUST AFTER THE OAK EXIT. TO MAKE THINGS WORSE, THE AREA WHERE IT STOPPED HAS NO SHOULDER. THE CHP PUSHED THE CAR TO THE NEARBY OFF RAMP AND I HAD IT TOWED TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN HAYWARD. THE SERVICE ATTENDANT TOLD ME MY CAR HAD A COMPUTER PROBLEM WHICH HAPPENED IN 2005 AND 2006 MODELS OF COROLLA. THEY DID SOME FIXES ON IT. WHEN I WAS PICKING IT UP, SETTLED THEIR EXORBITANT FEES AND WAIT ON THE SIDE FOR THE CAR, IT TOOK ME OVER 20 MINUTES TO WAIT. IT TURNED OUT THE CAR BROKE AGAIN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND TOLD ME TO WAIT ANOTHER 15 MINUTES SO THEY CAN FIX SOMETHING IN THE COMPUTER OF THE CAR. MY CONCERN IS, IF THEY KNEW THERE WERE SOME ISSUES WITH THEIR 2005 OR 2006 COROLLAS, THEY SHOULD HAVE NOTIFIED THE CUSTOMERS TO PREVENT DANGEROUS THINGS TO HAPPEN. AND WHY WOULD THE CAR WITH ONLY 32K MILES ON IT SUDDENLY STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY? IT WOULD BE A DIFFERENT STORY IF THE MILEAGE IS OVER 100K. *TR
