Our 2007 toyota corolla has a failure in the air conditioning system. After the winter, the A/C was turned on and it would not cool. Freon was put into the system and it cooled down again. However, a hissing noise was coming from the car after putting in the freon. Turns out there is a leak in the air conditioner's condenser. The tsb on the 2003 - 3005 corolla indicated there was a problem with the air conditioning system. Supposedly, toyota corrected this problem on future corolla's, but evidently there is still a problem with it. We are having the condenser replaced.

Bought brand new (3miles) corolla le on friday, jan 2, 2009. On jan 5, while making a turn into a parking lot, the car completely "froze": no steering, no acceleration, no braking possible. All dashboard lights came on. I came to a stop (luckily, the parking lot was semi-empty); turned off the ignition, restarted the car. All dashboard lights were off- but the "check engine" stayed on. Called the dealer who recommended bringing the car to service for a check. Drove there (7 miles)- the "check engine" light remained on the whole time. The mechanic said that "the engine light doesn't come on". Was given the car back (after road test by the mechanic and, presumably, a computerized check) and told that "there is nothing wrong with the car". Feel completely unsafe driving the vehicle now.
Vehicle stalling when making a quick deceleration from over 40mph to 15mph or to a complete stop. Engine dies, check engine light comes on, and electrical continues to function. Car restarts with no problem. This has occurred 2ce in the past 2 days, once the engine was cold, within 2 miles of start, the other occurred when engine was warm after driving 10 miles on highway, and slowing down quickly to pass through electronic toll booth. Toyota dealer checked vehicle, could not duplicate, nor did the system store any codes or event conditions.
