2009 TOYOTA COROLLA Engine Problems

Once you turn on your car the lifters become stuck and make a loud clicking noise on the engine. It makes the car hesitate to turn on and at times it shuts off the car automatically at any time.

RUMBLING NOISE UNDER THE HOOD COMING FROM THE ENGINE ,CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, AT A SLOWING DOWN SPEED THE CAR STARTS VIBRATING AND MAKES THE RUMBLING NOISE UNDER THE HOOD!! UNSAFE TO DRIVE !! CAR WENT TO THE DEALER WILLIAMS HONDA - SEVERAL TIMES BACK TO CHECK THE CODE AND TO FIX THE PROBLEMS!! WE HAD TO BRING THIS COMPLAINT WITH THE MANAGEMENT AND BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU, WE ARE REQUESTED A COMPENSATION FROM A DEALER FOR SELLING UNSAFE VEHICLE TO US, WE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS WHOLE MATTER IN DETAILS TO BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU, WE REQUESTED A MONETARY COMPENSATION $500. WE ARE REQUESTING FROM NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES: TO HELP AND ASSIST US TO COLLECT COMPENSATION OF $500 FROM A DEALER WILLIAMS HONDA THAT IS IN ELMIRA NEW YORK.

THIS CAR BURNS OIL AT A RIDICULOUS RATE.

MY CAR IS A MANUAL. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 25MPH WHEN IN BETWEEN 3RD AND 4TH THE CAR ENGINE REVVED UP TO ABOUT 5K OR 6K RPM. I TRIED TO JUST HIT THE GAS BUT IT WOULDN'T GO BACK DOWN. I DID NOT RELEASE THE CLUTCH. I HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT SO IT WOULDN'T DO THAT AGAIN. IT HAPPENED AGAIN AFTER THAT AND I DID THE SAME THING BY RESTARTING IT. I NOTICED A DIFFERENT PRESSURE IN THE GAS PEDAL WITH MY FOOT DURING THIS OCCURRENCE. AFTER THE SECOND TIME, IT DID NOT OCCUR AGAIN. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPEND. IT HAPPENED ABOUT 10,000MILES BEFORE. THIS HAPPENED AT ABOUT 101,500MILES.

RADDLE IN THE ENGINE. LOOSE VALVE

MY CAR HAS LESS THEN 86,000 MILES AND THE ENGINE IS STARTING TO FAIL WHICH MAKES NO SENSE TO ME. IT STARTED AT AROUND 80,000 MILES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, SHE HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE CHECKING THE OIL, SHE BECAME AWARE THAT THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE ENGINE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF AN OIL LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CLAREMONT TOYOTA LOCATED AT 601 AUTO CENTER DR, CLAREMONT, CA 91711, (909) 542-1828, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE DEALER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE PERSISTED AND REQUIRED 4 QUARTS OF OIL TO BE ADDED TO THE ENGINE WEEKLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000.

MY CAR HAS 91,414 MILES AND HAS HAD MULTIPLE CYLINDER MISFIRES WITH MY NORMAL DAILY COMMUTE OF SIX MILES EACH WAY. IN THREE YEARS ON A 4 CYLINDER ENGINE I HAVE HAD THREE IGNITION COILS REPLACED, TWICE WITHIN TWO AND A HALF YEARS AND 10,468 MILES ON THE #2 COIL. ALL REPAIRS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED BY TOYOTA CERTIFIED REPAIR FACILITIES WITH TOYOTA OEM PARTS. THIS IS NOT NORMAL FOR A LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE MAINTAINED WITH REGULAR SERVICE.

RATTLING NOISE FROM RIGHT SIDE OF THE ENGINE AT START UP OR COLD STARTUPS.

MY CAR WAS RUNNING FINE UNTIL RECENTLY, WHEN I HAD A FEW SERVICES DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP: BRAKE FLUID, TRANSMISSION DRAIN/FILL, OIL CHANGE, AND FUEL INJECTION SERVICE (THIS LAST ITEM I DID NOT ASK FOR OR APPROVE BEFOREHAND). A COUPLE DAYS LATER, MY CAR BEGAN STALLING WHEN I WAS DRIVING (WHILE COMING TO A STOP/ NOT PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR). NO CEL / OVERHEATING/ LOW OIL ISSUES- ALWAYS REGULAR MAINTENANCE. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID THE ENGINE HAD LOW COMPRESSION AND THEY SUSPECTED A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. THEY ALSO CHECKED TO SEE TO SEE IF MY ECM WAS UPDATED. THAT WAS ALL THEY SAID AFTER BEING THERE 5 HOURS. I HAD TO LEAVE FOR WORK, BROUGHT IT BACK A FEW DAYS LATER, THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO LOOK AT IT WITHOUT AN APPOINTMENT. A FEW DAYS LATER, MY CAR WOULDN'T START AT ALL. TOOK IT BACK...

I DO BELIEVE THE ENGINE IS FAULTY, SINCE I'VE HAD MY COROLLA IT'S ALWAYS USED SOOO MUCH OIL AND IT'S NOT LEAKING A DRIP. I HAVE SEVERAL COWORKERS THAT HAVE A COROLLA S AND THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. IT'S GOTTEN WORSE TO WE'RE IT USED TO MUCH OIL IT WAS BELOW THE DIP STICK AND BEFORE I COULD CATCH IT, IT HAS MESSED MY MOTOR UP. MY CAR STILL RUNS BUT HAS A VERY LOUD RATTLE IN THE MOTOR NOW WHEN IT STARTS BECAUSE OF THE OIL CONSUMPTION.

I OWN A 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA LE 1.8 THAT HAS DEFECTIVE PISTON RINGS WHICH CAUSES THE ENGINE TO CONSUME EXCESSIVE OIL AND IT HAS CAUSED TWO OF THE ENGINE CYLINDERS TO MALFUNCTION. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS IN THE INTERNET OF TOYOTA COROLLA OWNERS WHO OWN THE SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE AS MINE YEARS 2009-2011. THEY AS WELL AS MYSELF HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO TOYOTA U.S.A. WITHOUT GETTING ANY SATISFYING ANSWER FROM TOYOTA. A TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE CONTACTED ME TODAY AND TOLD ME THAT THEY DO NOT RECALL VEHICLES FOR REPAIRS UNLESS THEY RECEIVE AN ORDER FROM THE NHTSA. MY AUTO MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT HE HAS RECEIVED MANY 2009-2011 TOYOTA COROLLA CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE COME TO HIS SHOP TO HAVE THEIR ENGINES ON THEIR TOYOTA COROLLAS REPLACED OR REBUILT TO CORRECT THE FACTORY DEFECT OF THE PISTON RINGS ON THEIR TOYOTA COROLLAS 2009-2011. I RESEARCHED IN THE INTERNET AND...

MY 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE RECALL ON 2009 CAMRY. EXTREME USE OF OIL. WHEN THE TIME FOR MY 5000-MILE OIL CHANGE MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THERE WERE LESS THAN 2 QTS LEFT IN THE CRANKCASE. SINCE THAT OIL CHANGE, THE CAR HAS USED 1 QT IN 2000 MILES. I VISITED THE POWAY, CA. TOYOTA DEALERSHIP BUT SINCE THERE WAS NO RECALL ON COROLLAS THEY WOULD NOT EVEN DISCUSS REPAIRS WITH NO CHARGES. HOW CAN IT BE FAIR THAT ONE VEHICLE THE CAMRY IS COVERED WITH A RECALL AND ANOTHER MODEL THE OWNERS MUST PAY FOR THE REPAIRS OF THE SAME PROBLEM THE CAMRY HAD BUT WITH A RECALL DIDN'T HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING.

ONE MONTH AFTER BUYING MY CAR FROM ANOTHER CONSUMER, I NOTICED THE OIL WAS LOW. I FILLED FULL THE FIRST DAY I GOT IT AND HAD NOT PUT ANY SERIOUS MILEAGE ON IT. TWO WEEKS LATER I START TO HEAR THIS TICKING NOISE AND REALIZED THE OIL FILTER NEEDED CHANGED THE PRIOR WEEK. CHANGED IT. NOTHING HAPPENED. THIS TICKING OCCURS ON START UP, GETS LOUDER WITH THE RPM, AND VIBRATES THE ENTIRE CAR AT STOPS. TOOK MY CAR TO TOYOTA THE NEXT MONTH THINKING IT WAS THE ACCELERATOR BELT OR THE CONNECTION ROD BEARING PLATE. THEY HAD ME PAY PAY 120$ TO TAKE OFF THE VALVE HOOD ONLY TO TELL ME I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I DID A BUNCH OF RESEARCH AFTER THIS AND HUNDREDS OF CONSUMERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE OVERCONSUMPTION OF OIL FROM THIS YEAR'S MODEL LEADING TO THE FAILURE...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS BURNING OIL AT AN ABNORMAL RATE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 142,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I BOUGHT MY CAR IN NOVEMBER OF 2012 WITH ABOUT 70,000 MILES AND QUICKLY NOTICED IT BURNED A LOT OF OIL. SHORTLY AFTER THAT I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM TOYOTA ADMITTING THEY HAD A PROBLEM WITH THESE ENGINES BURNING OIL. THEY TOLD ME TO HAVE MY CAR TESTED AT THE DEALERSHIP. I HAD THE CAR TESTED AND TO MY SURPRISE IT PASSED THE TEST. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO TAKE THE TEST AGAIN AFTER 1 YEAR. THE NEXT TIME I TESTED THE CAR IT FAILED THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST BY A LARGE MARGIN. TOYOTA REFUSED TO NOW REPAIR THE CAR BECAUSE I HAD REACHED 151,000 MILES AND THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 150,000 MILES. TOYOTA KNEW ALL ALONG THAT THE CAR HAD OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEMS AND NOW THEY REFUSE TO STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT. EVERYWHERE I DRIVE THE CAR NOW I HAVE TO CARRY EXTRA OIL WITH AND ON LONG TRIPS...

MY 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA HAS HAD AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL CONSUMPTION DUE TO TOYOTA PUTTING IN DEFECTED PISTON AND PISTON RINGS. THIS DEFECT CAN CAUSE ENGINE DAMAGE OR ENGINE FAILURE RESULTING IN HAVING TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ENGINE. THESE OTHER MODELS MAY ALSO BE AFFECTED: TOYOTA CAMRY 2007-2011 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID 2007-20011 TOYOTA COROLLA 2009 TOYOTA MATRIX 2009 TOYOTA RAV4 TOYOTA SOLARA 2007, 2008 SCION XB 2008 2009 SCION TC 2007-2009

BACK IN JANUARY, 2018 MY ENGINE WOULD KNOCK WHEN I STARTED THE CAR. TOOK THE CAR FOR IT'S SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THERE WAS ONLY A QUART OF OIL THAT DRAINED. MY OIL LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. NEEDLESS TO SAY THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO CONSUME OIL. TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED THAT MY ENGINE NEEDED TO EITHER BE REPLACED OR REBUILT. I OPTED TO HAVE IT REBUILT. I PAID $4000 DOLLARS FOR THIS. GOT THE CAR BACK AND DROVE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND CHECKED MY OIL ONLY TO FIND IT WAS DOWN 1 1/2 QUARTS OF OIL AFTER ONLY 2 DAYS OF DRIVING ON BASICALLY A BRAND NEW MOTOR. I'M STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON MY VEHICLE AND HAVE FALLEN BEHIND SEVERAL TIMES TO MAKE REPAIRS TO MY VEHICLE. SO FAR IN THE TWO YEARS I'VE OWNED THIS CAR I'VE HAD...

MY 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA HAS OVER HEAT PROBLEM SO I TAKE IT TO MECHANIC AND THEY FOUND WATER PUMP ISSUE, I REPLACE IT. PROBLEM STILL CONTINUE AND TAKE IT TO DEALER PLACE AND THEY DIAGNOSTIC VEHICLE AND CAME UP WITH FEW PROBLEM WHICH COST ME $1187, AFTER THEY FIXED THEY FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC AND SAID ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACE AND THEY ALSO SAID TRANSITION COULD FAILURE DOWN THE ROAD AND THEY ESTIMATE ME ANOTHER $4500 TO REPLACE ENGINE FROM DIFFERENT CAR WHICH IS HAS 75000 MILES ON IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER, STALLED, AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH ERROR CODE P2103. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

TAKATA RECALL & WATER PUMP. FAILURE TO PROVIDE REPLACEMENT PARTS IN A TIMELY MANNER ON THE TAKATA AIR BAGS. WAS TOLD NOT TO USE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. NOT PRACTICAL! ALSO, FAILURE OF WATER PUMP AND INDICATOR LIGHT TO WARN OF THE FAILURE. RESULTED IN TOTAL REPLACEMENT OF ENGINE. TEMPERATURE GAUGE SHOWED NORMAL WHEN IN FACT THE ENGINE WAS OVER HEATING. CAR WAS JUST OVER THE THE MILEAGE OF 54,000 IN JULY 2014. WE WERE COMING BACK FROM A TRIP TO MYRTLE BEACH, AND IT DIED ON THE HIGHWAY THREE HOURS FROM OUR HOUSE IN OHIO, JUST AS DUSK WAS FALLING. VERY FRIGHTENING NOT KNOWING WHAT WAS GOING ON. NO WARNING WHAT-SO-EVER. HAD AN EXPENSIVE TOW BACK TO MOGADORE FROM NEW PHILADELPHIA, OHIO. WITHOUT A CAR FOR THREE WEEKS AND FORCED TO PURCHASE A RE-BUILT ENGINE FROM TOYOTA. GANLEY TOYOTA IN AKRON WAS UPSET AND MR. GANLEY, THE OWNER, WOULD NOT...

TAKATA AIRBAGS-THIS IS THIRD TIME THAT I AM FILLING THIS OUT. THIS WEBSITE IS DIFFICULT AND I COULD NOT CHECK ALL THE BOXES THAT I NEEDED. THIS CAR HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS. IT IS THE WORST CAR THAT I HAVE EVEN OWNED. ALL OF THE PAINT WAS PEELING OFF. I HAD TO HAVE THE ENGINE REBUILT. THE LIGHTS KEPT BLOWING OUT. I HAD AN ACCIDENT AND I HIT THE STEERING WITH MY FACE. THE AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOYED. I KNOCKED MYSELF OUT. I HAD FACIAL CONTUSION AND ALMOST KNOCKED MY TEETH OUT.

IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING A COLD SOAK STARTUP MY 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA MAKES A VERY LOUD RATTLE NOISE WITHIN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FOR APPROXIMATELY 1-2 SECONDS. IT WILL CONSISTENTLY DO THIS UPON COLD STARTUP, AND IS A KNOWN DEFECT WITHIN THE CAMSHAFT TIMING GEAR ASSEMBLY OF THE VEHICLE. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED DOCUMENTATION FOR MORE DETAILS, INCLUDING THE $896 REPAIR QUOTED FROM THE DEALER (PAGE 2). IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS ISSUE CAN EVENTUALLY LEAD TO MORE SERIOUS ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE, AND I THINK IT IS A SHAME THAT THE DEALER DID NOT CATCH THIS EARLIER/ IS NOW QUOTING SUCH A HIGH PRICE FOR REPAIR. IT IS MY HOPE THAT SOMETHING CAN BE DONE TO MAKE TOYOTA BETTER RESPECT IT'S CUSTOMER'S SATISFACTIONS/SAFETY, AND TAKE CARE OF THIS KNOWN ISSUE AT NO COST TO IT'S CUSTOMERS.

TAKATA RECALL. EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION [ONE QUART EVERY 1200 MILES] ENGINE TOP END HAS A VERY LOUD RATTLING NOISE LASTING ABOUT ONE TO TWO MINUTES ONLY IF CAR HAS SAT FOR A PERIOD OF MORE THAN THREE TO FIVE HOURS.

A 2009 CAR THAT WAS REGULARLY MAINTAINED (INCLUDING REGULAR OIL CHANGES) WITH LESS THAN 35,000 MILES ALLEGEDLY NEEDS A NEW DRIVE TRAIN?!?!?!?!!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE AND EXPERIENCED OVERHEATING WHILE BEING OPERATED AT 50 MPH. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS SMOKE WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED UPON INSPECTION THEY SAW COOLANT LEAKING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WATER PUMP EXPERIENCED A MALFUNCTION HOWEVER A REMEDY WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

(DEFECT WATERPUMP) MY WATERPUMP WENT HAD A HAIRLINE CRACK.. THE MACANIC SAYS THE OLD WATERPUMP MOLDING WAS OFF AND WAS TOO THIN AROUND WHERE IT CONNECTS TO THE ENGINE.

VEHICLES WITH DELCO ECM HAVE A COMMON ISSUE WHERE THE FUEL INJECTORS LEAK INTO THE CYLINDER CAUSING ENGINE TO LOOSE COMPRESSION. THE LOWERED COMPRESSION CAUSES HARD START (IF ABLE TO START AT ALL) AND IF AND WHEN IT STARTS THE VEHICLE EMITS A CLOUD OF WHITE SMOKE FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. WHEN VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE THE ENGINE IDLES HUNTS CONSTANTLY. ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING MAKING BRAKING AND STEERING VERY DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS. ECM HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE DAMAGE IS DONE TO THE ENGINE AND NEEDS A REBUILD. MULTIPLE VEHICLES HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE FROM 2009 - 2013 TOYOTA COROLLA RANGING FROM 100 MILES - 179,000 MILES. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE ANY DIFFERENT EFFECT WITH MILEAGE OR MAINTENANCE. *TR

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 16V340000 (AIR BAGS) AND 09V338 (ENGINE); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIRS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUES. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2008 AND THE FOLLOWING JANUARY 2009 I NOTICED BURNING SMELL FROM ENGINE. MY DAD BEGAN CHECKING OIL AND NOTICED I WAS OUT OF OIL WELL BEFORE MY NEXT OIL CHANGE. WENT TO LIPTON TOYOTA ENDLESSLY OVER PERIOD OF 6 YEARS AND WOULD BE TOLD THE OIL CONSUMPTION IS NORMAL, NOT A PROBLEM. IN 2013 THEY SAID THEY FOUND THE PROBLEM AND FIXED IT. ALL SUBSEQUENT OIL LOSS WAS NORMAL. MY ENGINE LIGHT STARTED TO GO ON ..COILS STARTED MISFIRING BUT WHEN I PUTIN THE OIL IT WOULD CLEAR OUT. TOYOTA SAID NOT CONNECTED. THEY BEGAN ANOTHER OIL CONSUMPTION TEST IN SEPTEMBER 2016 AND NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE FIXED. STILL SAYING IT'S NOT RELATED TO EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION.

WE WERE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WHILE WE HEARD SOME NOISE CAME FROM THE FRONT OF OUR CAR. WE THOUGHT WE HIT SOME METAL, SO WE SLOWED DOWN AND CHANGED TO THE SLOW LANE, THEN THE CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN BY ITSELF, AND THE STEERING WHEEL COULDN'T MOVE FREELY. WE PULLED OVER, OPENED THE FRONT, AND SAW SOME SMOKE AND SOME LIQUID FELL DOWN. WE SPENT $300 FOR TOWING OUR CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHERE WE BOUGHT OUR CAR FROM. AND WE WERE TOLD THAT IT IS THE WATER PUMP PULLEY FAILED THAT CAUSE THE DRIVE BELT BROKE AND ENGINE OVERHEATED...I WAS INFORMED THAT THE REPAIR WILL CAUSE ABOUT $4000 FOR A SECOND-HAND ENGINE!! OUR 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA WAS BOUGHT NEW IN NOVEMBER, 2008 AND ONLY HAS 68000 MILES ON IT. WE JUST DID THE OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALERSHIP 5 DAYS AFTER THIS HAPPEN! NOW THE CAR IS...

ENGINE HARD STARTS - NO STARTS - OR EXTENDED STARTS. PROBLEM IS RANDOM OCCURRING 2 TO 3 TIMES A WEEK. HAPPENS WHETHER ENGINE IS WARM OR COLD. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 2 YEARS NOW. TOYOTA CAN NOT FIND A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR.

2009 TOYOTA COROLLA, ENGINE WILL GO INTO A "MODE" WHERE IT REVS UP TO 2000 RPM ON ITS OWN. PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL WILL NOT DO ANYTHING, STILL STAYS ON 2000 RPM UNTIL ENGINE IS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED, ONE SHOP SUGGESTED I REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY ($1400) DID AND STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. ALSO REPLACED THE GAS PEDAL ASSY. ($35.00 USED) STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. CAR MAY GO DAYS OR WEEKS BETWEEN EVENTS. WHEN IT HAPPENS ON A FREEWAY, IT IS VERY BAD, THE CAR SLOWS AND YOU CAN NOT ACCELERATE IN ANY WAY, YOU MUST PULL OVER AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTART TO GET THE CAR TO MOVE. VERY DANGEROUS! THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN TRAVELING AT 65MPH AND ALSO AT 5MPH COMING TO A STOP SIGN.

MY WIFE WAS TRAVELLING ON I-270 NEAR COLUMBUS, OH ON 6/19/2016 AFTERNOON (AROUND 2 PM) IN A TOYOTA COROLLA S 2009. SHE TOOK AN EXIT 22B AT AROUND 60-65 MPH AND THE VEHICLE AFTER GIVING BRIEF BEEPS SUFFERED FROM AN ABRUPT ENGINE STALL. SHE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE MOMENTARILY AS THE STEERING AND BREAK JAMMED. SHE REGAINED CONTROL AFTER GREAT EFFORT AND PULLED OVER THE VEHICLE AT THE ROADSIDE. THE CAR DID NOT START IMMEDIATELY BUT STARTED AFTER ABOUT 30 MINS AND RAN PROPERLY AFTER THAT BUT WITH SOME MINOR VIBRATION POST 60 MPH SPEED.

I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH EXCESIVE AMOUNT OF OIL CONSUMPTION SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS CONSUMING OIL WHILE DOING RANDOM CHECKS ON THE CAR. AFTER THAT I LOOKED ON-LINE FOR SOLUTION AND FOUND PAGES AFTER PAGE AND WEBSITE AFTER WEBSITE OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE SINCE 2009 TO NOW AND TOYOTA NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I SINCE CONTINUED CHECKING AND TOPING THE ENGINE OIL UNTIL DECEMBER WHEN MY CAR STARTED TO STALL WHEN I STOPPED AT A LIGHT. IT WOULD TRY TO IDLE AROUND 500-600 RPM BUT COULDNT AND THEN THE ENGINE WOULD BRING IT UP TO 800 RPM. I HAD IT DIAGNOSED AND TURNED OUT MY PISTON RINGS ARE THE PROBLEM. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION ONLINE I SAW THAT THE PISTON AND PISTON RINGS ARE THE PROBLEM ON THE TOYOTA 2ZRFE ENGINE AND MAY OTHER ENGINES. I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND...

AT 54,000 MILES, 57,000 AND 59,000 MILES I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER AFTER EXPERIENCING OIL CONSUMPTION, ONE QUART EVERY 1,000 MILES OR SO. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS NORMAL CONSUMPTION, EACH TIME, WHICH I STILL DIDN'T BELIEVE AND RETURNED TO COMPLAIN AS A MATTER OF RECORD. THE CAR HAS 74,000 MILES ON IT AND IT IS AT THE TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER EXHIBITING A KNOCK IN THE ENGINE. NOW, BECAUSE THERE IS A KNOCK IN THE ENGINE THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST CANNOT BE DONE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE TOYOTA CENTER THREE PREVIOUS TIMES AND NO OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WAS OFFERED ANY TIME I RAISED THE ISSUE. NOW TOYOTA SAYS THEY CAN'T PERFORM THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST, AND SINCE THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WAS A REQUIREMENT FOR AUTHORIZED REPAIR/REPLACEMENT TOYOTA WILL NOT HONOR THERE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT NOTIFICATION - ZE7 LETTER. HOW THIS HAPPENED, I WAS ON...

CAR WAS TAKEN IN FOR OIL CHANGE AT MILEAGE DUE AND TOYOTA DEALERSHIP STATED OIL DIPSTICK WAS TOTALLY DRY AND TO CHECK IT AT HALFWAY MARK OF MILES. CAR IS NOT DUE YET FOR OIL CHANGE UNTIL ABOUT 95,000 MILES AND AT HALFWAY MARK OIL WAS ALREADY DOWN TO LAST MARK ON DIPSTICK. CAR WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA AND THEY STATED 2009 COROLLA WAS NOT PART OF LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN OF OTHER VEHICLES EXHIBITING SAME PROBLEMS AS MY CAR. DEALER SAID TO JUST ADD OIL IN BETWEEN CHANGES AND I EXPLAINED THAT CAR SHOULD NOT BE CONSUMING OIL AT THIS STAGE AND THEY AGREED BUT STATED I WOULD HAVE TO COVER REPAIRS WHICH MIGHT COST BETWEEN $2,000-3,000 BECAUSE OF CAR NOT BEING PART OF CAMPAIGN WITH OTHER MAKES WHICH WERE ALSO HAVING SAME PROBLEM WITH EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AT AROUND SAME MILEAGE. I STARTED OIL CONSUMPTION TEST SO THAT IT...

I STARTED OIL CONSUMPTION TEST SO THAT IT...

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK DRIVE ON THE SURFACE STREET AT A SPEED BETWEEN 42-45MPH WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. I STEPPED ON BRAKES BUT I WAS STILL ACCELERATING SO I HAD TO TURN OFF MY ENGINE TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME WAS ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, AT THE TIME I TOOK IT TO A TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER AND THEY TOLD MY BRAKES AND CARPET WAS RECALLED. THE REPLACED BOTH ITEMS AND TOLD ME MY CAR SHOULD BE GOOD. THE SECOND TIME MY CAR ACCELERATED WEEKS AGO. I CALLED TOYOTA AND MADE A CLAIM WITH THEM. THEY ARE SAYING THERE'S NO ISSUE WITH MY CAR EVEN THOUGH I HAD ACCELERATED TWO IN THE PAST 6 MONTH. BOTH TIME I HAD TO TURN OFF MY ENGINE TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. BOTH TIME...

MY VEHICLE HAS NEVER HAD THE SERVICE CAMPAIGN FOR THE CAM SHAFT GEARS REPLACED. NOW MY VEHICLE HAS 197K MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THOSE GEARS. I NEED TO KNOW IF THERE IS A WAY TO GET THIS PAID AND FIXED BY TOYOTA SINCE ITS A RECALL. MY VEHICLE IS AT MY DEALERSHIP IN VANCOUVER RIGHT NOW. I CAN NOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE.

I HAVE A 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA (LE). I BOUGHT IT ALMOST EXACTLY 3 YEARS AGO WITH ABOUT 12,300 MILES ON IT. CURRENTLY, IT DOES NOT HAVE 50K. I HAVE TO DRIVE DOWNTOWN FOR NURSING SCHOOL, IT TAKES ROUGHLY 20-30 MINUTES. THE VERY TERRIFYING AND INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT I HAVE BEEN HAVING IS THAT I WILL BE DRIVING 65MPH ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND IT WILL SUDDENLY JUST DROP DOWN TO 30/40MPH. DUE TO THIS ISSUE, I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN A CRASH. I WILL CHANGE LANES THINKING MY CAR WILL ACCELERATE TO PASS SOMEONE AND IT WILL JUST DROP DOWN TO 30MPH! ALSO, WHILE I AM IDLE, IT WILL SHAKE AND REV..SO THE RPM WILL BE UP CLOSE TO 2; YET, I AM IDLE! I HAVE READ OF OTHERS EXPERIENCING SIMILAR ISSUES. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED SOONER. THE WORST...

STARTED ENGINE, THEN WHILE IDLING A LOUD SQUEALING NOISE APPEARING TO SOUND FROM THE POWER STEERING, UPON CLOSE OBSERVATION NOTICE COOLANT FLUID ALL OVER THE SERPENTINE BELTS AND THE ALTERNATOR. THE BATTERY WOULD DIE AND WATER RESIDUAL ALL OVER THE PLACE ALL INDICATION POINTS TO A BUSTED WATER PUMP FROM THE MECHANICS. THE CAR ONLY GOT 70,000 MILES. HAVE 5 MONTHS LEFT ON CAR LOAN AND NO MONEY FOR REPAIRS AND DON'T KNOW IF ENGINE STILL WORKS.

THIS ACCIDENT HAPPENED IN 2011. VEHICLE ACCELERATED ITSELF WHILE EXITING THE FREEWAY. ENDED UP SIDE SWIPING THE RAMP AND FINALLY GOT IT TO STOP USING EMERGENCY BRAKE. LUCKILY STOPPED BEFORE CRASHING INTO THE WALL. TOYOTA INVESTIGATOR CAME TO TAKE EDR REPORT BUT DIDN'T ADMIT THE PROBLEM OF THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE WAS LEFT ALONE AND NOT FIXED FOR DAYS SO THEY CAN INVESTIGATE. I WAS EXPECTING THEM TO PROVIDE ANSWERS BUT I ENDED UP FIXING MY CAR WITH MY INSURANCE. THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING AFTER GETTING THE DATA OUT OF MY VEHICLE.

AFTER REPLACING THE ALTERNATOR IN MY 2009 COROLLA IN JULY 2015. MY TIMING CHAINS AND WATER PUMP MALFUNCTIONED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS UNAWARE AND SO WAS THE MECHANIC THAT THE TIMING BELTS WERE DAMAGED UNTIL AFTER THE WATER PUMP AND SERPENTINE BELT WAS REPLACED. DUE TO TIMING ISSUES FROM THE PREVIOUS MALFUNCTIONS, I AM NOW IN NEED OF A NEW MOTOR. MY VEHICLE HAS ALL REQUIRED REPAIRS OR MAINTENANCE COMPLETED AS SCHEDULED AND MY VEHICLE HAS NOT EVEN MADE IT TO 80,000 MILES.

TOYOTA HAS A TSB FOR 2009 - 2010 COROLLA WITH THE 2ZR ENGINE, IT IS T-SB-0087-09 BRIEF ENGINE KNOCK/RATTLE NOISE AT COLD STARTUP, MY CAR HAS THIS PROBLEM AND NEEDS THE CAMSHAFT TIMING GEAR ASSEMBLY REPLACED. I CALLED "TOYOTA CARE" AT THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE LOCAL TOYOTA SERVICE MANAGER. TOYOTA CARE SAID MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS TSB AND THAT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. (MY COROLLA WAS AN EARLY 2009 PRODUCTION MODEL, MFD IN 2/2008, IN SERVICE BEGINNING IN MAY OF 2008 ( I BELIEVE) AND THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO HELP ME. MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RANGE OF ELIGIBLE VIN NUMBERS AND IS OUT OF WARRANTY. MY COROLLA HAS HAD THE NOISE FOR A LONG TIME AND ONLY HAS APPX. 60K MILES ON IT, IT IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURING FLAW OR ERROR AND TOYOTA SHOULD RECALL ALL 2009 COROLLAS...

MY 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA HAS ABOUT 93,300 MILES ON IT. AFTER ALL THE RECALLS THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD, IT ALSO HAS BEEN MAKING NOISE EVERY TIME I START IT. SOMETIMES IT IS A LOUD SCREECHING NOISE AND SOMETIMES IT IS NOT THAT LOUD. I AM SICK AND TIRED OF ALL THESE RECALLS AND I AM SURPRISED THEY ARE NOT RECALLING THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, MANY OTHER OWNERS ARE ALSO HAVING THIS ISSUE WITH THEIR 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA. I WILL BE TAKING THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW TO SEE IF THEY CAN FIX IT ALONG WITH ANOTHER RECALL THAT I GOT A LETTER FOR. THERE WILL LEGAL ACTIONS TAKEN IF THIS IS NOT ADDRESSED PROPERLY.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH IN MY TOYOTA COROLLA AND THE CAR LOST ALL POWER AND HAD TO QUICKLY PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR WAS DEAD AND WOULD NO LONGER GO. ONCE IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERS THEY DETERMINED THAT THE WATER PUMP AND STOPPED WORKING FOR NO APPARENT REASON.

RECENTLY NOTICED THE NOISE COMES FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT AFTER START AND DURING DRIVING. DURING 5K MAINTENANCE SERVICE, I WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE WATER PUMP FAILED AND NEEDS REPLACEMENT. THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN GENTALLY UNDER NORMAL CONDITION AT LESS THAN 55000 MILE AND 6.5 YEARS. THE REPAIR IS NOT COVERED BY THE 10-YEAR POWERTRAN WARRANTY COMES WITH THE PURCHASE. HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDERGOING AN UNRELATED RECALL REPAIR, THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE WATER PUMP WAS LEAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,799. MA 10/22/2015 *CN

H FIRST TIME THE CAR MALFUNCTION I WAS COMING BACK FROM RETURNING THE RENTAL TRUCK, I WAS PULLING OUT ON THE HIGHWAY AND AT THAT TIME THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP, THE BATTERY INDICATOR LIGHT COME ON, ABS BRAKE LIGHT COME ON, AND REST OF THE IDIOT LIGHTS ON THE PANEL COME ON. IT WAS VERY HARD TO STEER THE CAR, WILL ALL MY EFFORT WITH TWO HANDS I CAN STEER THE WHEEL AND CONTROL THE CAR. THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING REALLY ROUGH AND SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO QUIT. THIS LASTED FOR APPROXIMATELY 20 SECONDS IT SEEMED LIKE, AND THEN THE CAR STARTED RUNNING RIGHT NOW AND I WAS ABLE TO STEER AGAIN AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE PANEL WENT OUT. I WAS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS THINKING MY CAR WAS FAILING AND I KNEW THAT THERE IS PROBABLY SOMETHING THE MATTER WITH IT BUT WHEN IT...
