NHTSA Complaint #10351874 — 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA

I HAVE A 2006 TOYOTO COROLLA ,ENGINE EG053-06. I HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH IT BEING A SLOW CRANK OR NO START CONDITION, AS LISTED ON THE TSB UPDATE HOMEPAGE. I WAS NOT AWARE OF THIS, AND PURCHASED A NEW BATTHERY, TESTED THE STARTER,IT WAS FINE, ALTERNATOR WAS FINE. TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO SAW THE PROBLEM AND PULLED UP THE TSB WEBSITE AND IT IS ON THERE OWN SITE. THE TITLE OF THE NOTICE IS 1ZZ-FE ENGINE "NO START" OR EXTENDED CRANK" CONDITION. IT AFFECTS COROLLAS AND MATRIXES. SURPRISE HERE. ANYWAY, IT STATES THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY MANUFACTURING PROCESS HAS BEEN IMPROVED TO CORRECT THIS CONDITION. THE WARRANTY RAN OUT AT 60,000 MILES. I HAVE 66,000. I THINK CONSUMERS SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE OF THIS SINCE THEY KNOW IT WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM OR IT WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN ON THEIR SITE. NOW THEY WANT 1200.00 TO FIX THIS. OBVIOUSLY THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY WAS DEFECTIVE TO START WITH OR THEY WOULD NOT HAVE TO CORRECTED IT.IT IS ALSO IRONIC THAT THE OTHER INVESTIGATON YOU ARE DOING IS ON THE SAME YEARS AND MODELS, COROLLA AND MATRIX. HAVE YOU HAD OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE? *TR
