NHTSA Complaint #10659118 — 2003 TOYOTA COROLLA

I WAS DRIVING DOWN FREEWAY AT 55MPH AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING TRANSMISSION MADE LOUD NOISE AND THEN LOCKED UP, SINCE CAR IS FRONT WHEEL DRIVE I HAD NO STEERING AS FRONT WHEELS LOCKED UP. CAR THEN STARTED TO GO INTO A SPIN, BUT I WAS ABLE TO FIGHT THE WHEEL AND STEER CAR TO SIDE OF ROAD. IT WAS ONLY BY LUCK THAT THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS OR TRACTOR TRAILERS ALONG SIDE OR IN BACK OF ME, AFTER ALL SAID AND DONE WITH TOWING COST AND HAVING TO RENT A CAR FOR WORK, I AM OUT $645.00 AND STILL NO CAR! I HAD TWO TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOPS LOOK AT CAR, BOTH SAID THE SAME THING THAT SOME PART CAME LOOSE IN TRANSMISSION AND DESTROYED IT, IT WOULD NEED TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACE AT A COST OF $2700 -$3300 IN THE MEANTIME I STARTED DOING RESEARCH ON THAT TRANSMISSION AND WHAT I WAS TOLD BY THE REPAIR SHOPS AND FROM MY OWN RESEARCH IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THE #TOYOTA COROLLA AND OTHER MODELS THAT USED THAT MANUAL TRANSMISSION HAVE HAD THE VERY SAME PROBLEMS. PLEASE DEMAND A RECALL !!! *TR
