2007 TOYOTA COROLLA Structure Problems

THIS CAR ONLY HAS 65,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS HARDLY BEEN DRIVEN GIVEN THE FACT THAT IT IS 4 YEARS OLD. I HEARD A LOUD RATTLING NOISE AND TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC. HE TOLD ME THAT A BOLT CAME OFF THE HEAT SHIELD BY THE GAS TANK. I'M SURPRISED THAT SUCH A LIGHTLY DRIVEN CAR COULD ALREADY HAVE SUCH EXPENSIVE PROBLEMS. AS STATED HERE, TOYOTA HAS A NEW DESIGN FOR HEAT SHIELD WHICH CLEARLY GIVES PROBLEMS: HTTP://WWW.ARFC.ORG/COMPLAINTS/2007/TOYOTA/COROLLA/10454289.ASPX. *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON 11/14/10 AND CAR STARTED SLAM SHIFTING, AND DIED ON FREEWAY. THE CAR STARTED AGAIN, AND I TOOK IT TO XX IN MORENO VALLEY NEXT DAY. DEALER SAID FAULTY ECU (DTC P2716) AND THE PART MUST BE ORDERED. I ASKED IF THEY COULD PROVIDE A LOANER CAR BECAUSE I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR WITH A FAULTY ECM. I WAS TOLD PART WILL MOST LIKELY BE IN TUESDAY OR WEDNESDAY. THE DEALER SAID A LOANER CAR WOULD NOT BE PROVIDED UNLESS THE CAR TOTALLY STOP OPERATING. I LIVE IN SAN BERNARDINO AND WORK IN MORENO VALLEY, APPROX 26 MILES ONE WAY. I HAVE AAA TOWING BASIC FOR 6 MILES. I WOULD USUALLY PURCHASE AAA SOUTHERN CA AUTOMOBILE CLUB TOWING FOR UP TO 100 MILES, BUT BECAUSE I BOUGHT A NEW RELIABLE TOYOTA, I JUST GOT THE BASIC TOWING IN CASE THE BATTERY DIED. I DON'T...

THE AUTOMATIC GEAR SELECT COVER IS CHROME IN THE S MODEL TOYOTA COROLLA AND DURING NOONTIME HOURS WHEN THE SUN IS HIGH, THE COVER REFLECTS THE SUNLIGHT AND REFLECTS INTO THE EYES. AT 1:00PM, THE SUN WAS REFLECTING OFF OF THE CHROME COVER. AS I ATTEMPTED TO COVER IT WITH A PAPER BAG, MY FOOT CAME OFF OF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE CREEP OF THE VEHICLE CAUSED A COLLISION WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT AT A STOP SIGN. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME SUCH AN ACCIDENT HAS OCCURRED. THE FIRST TIME WAS ALSO DURING THE SUMMER AT 1:15PM 2 YEARS AGO WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO COVER THE GLARE WITH MY BACKPACK. SINCE THAT INCIDENT, I HAVE ALWAYS BROUGHT A HAT THAT I USE TO COVER THE CHROME GEAR SELECT COVER. ON THIS DAY, HOWEVER, I HAD FORGOT TO BRING MY HAT WHICH WOULD HAVE PREVENTED THE GLARE SHINING DIRECTLY...
