Consumer Description

IN 9/2007 THE TRANSMISSION AND CLUTCH WENT OUT ON MY MANUAL 2003 COROLLA. CONVENIENTLY, IT WAS BEYOND THE WARRANTY PERIOD. I SPENT A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF $ REPAIRING. AGAIN, IN MARCH 2015 THE TRANSMISSION AND CLUTCH ARE GOING OUT ON MY MANUAL VEHICLE. AFTER RESEARCHING, I FOUND NUMEROUS OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. THERE IS A SERIOUS DEFECT IN THE 2003 MANUAL COROLLA THAT WAS APPARENTLY FIXED IN THE 2004 VERSION. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA SEVERAL TIMES. THEY WILL DO NOTHING. THEY TOLD ME TO EMAIL THE NHTSA AND YOUR AGENCY WOULD DETERMINE A RECALL. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE PUT THIS PROBLEM ON THE RECALL LIST. I (AND NUMEROUS OTHER OWNERS) HAVE BEEN STRANDED ALONG THE HIGHWAY AND IT IS NOT SAFE! *TR
