Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
I had the airbag repaired during the recall. However, the airbag warning light remains on. In addition, the speedometer has stopped at 299,999 although the trip meter still works. The paint is peeling and the roof is rusting which is classic for toyota.
Paint on roof, hood, and trunk had rapidly rusted over the past 3-4 years. Car was bought new in 2005 in california but I've lived in louisiana for 8.5 years (as of jan 2018). The roof is completely red rusted, the hood has worn paint and lots of chips, and the trunk is beginning to get the same "sun damage" looking paint wear that the hood has.
I bought my car in 2005 brand new zero mileages on it. It is toyota corolla 2005. My original color of the car hood is coming out. It starts coming off. I think it had paint defect. Paint is coming off and the cart hood has been rough at all sides. The original color is gray and now looks at scrapping at all the car hood. I don't know what do to because it looks ugly and I never wanted my car to be like this. The vehicle it's in normal function and always has been in house carport.
My car is black color, and its paint starts peeling. The most severe spot is on the top of the roof.
Air bags did not go off in a hard collision with a deer. Covering of bumper gone, hood bent 18"+-, radiator pushed into engine ,frame bent on driver's side in front of the door. Car not driveable and yet the air bags did not deploy. State farm has the car policy 182 5776-c28-23a. Police report bec icr 16-17141, blue earth county , mn state farm claim 23-0177-0w2. This vehicle has been owned by family members since purchased new. Our concern is that the air bag did not go off and it possibly was unhooked.
