Tsb 0087-09 march 13, 2009 came out shortly after production of the 2009 model and due to the many complaints it appears they quickly included it in the powertrain warranty (6 mo/60k miles) rather than do a recall. This is a problem that is detected on a cold start, so many users will ignore it, thinking it's just a squeaky belt, and used car buyers will get taken because you can't detect it if the seller has started the car and it doesn't occur until the next day after you've purchased the car. Toyota slid under the radar on this one. It's a pricey repair that I've been told by a few mechanics that only the dealer should handle. I strongly encourage you to pursue a recall. This is not a part that should have problems. In fact, the dealer said they should go 250k without major problems. It's not just the '09 corolla. It is widespread, and if you google this, the web is filled with complaints for several toyota models. Please let the consumer know you're being vigilant and investigate this overlooked issue.

After decelerating into a left hand turn there is hesitation of up to 3 seconds or more after depressing the gas pedal down to accelerate again . Only happens on left turns. This is an automatic transmission on a 1.8 l 4 cylinder 2009 toyota corolla. This is a recurring problem that seems to be getting worse. Car only has 31k miles- mostly city driving - I'm retired / don't drive much.

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 sitting at the parking lot of the dealership, we contacted the service manager on the dealership as well as toyota customer experience but have not receive a positive respond yet. They keep telling me that it pass the warranty, however, when I did the research online and found out that not only me has this problem, there are 35 more complain on record about the water pump failure. I believe toyota should do a recall on the water pump and responsible for the repair.

The car automatic transmissions shift very hard. The mechanic replaced pressure solenoid valve. I was informed that electronic control module is bad. The symptoms are similar to a volunteer safety recall a0j for 2007-2008 corolla models equipped with 1zz-fe electronic control module. The ECM for certain 2005 through 2008 toyota corolla and corolla matrix models equipped with the 1zz-fe engine and two-wheel drive may have been improperly manufactured. There is a possibility that a crack may develop at certain solder points or on varistors on the circuit board. In most cases, if a crack occurs at certain points or on certain varistors, the engine warning lamp could be illuminated*, harsh shifting could result, or theengine may not start. In limited instances, if cracking occurs on particular solder points or varistors, the engine could stop while the vehicle is being driven which may increase the risk of a crash.

During a routine inspection at the toyota dealership on 3-29-16, a cracked cv joint boot leaking grease was discovered (59k miles) this is the 2nd occurrence for me, the 1st on my 2010 corolla just a few months prior. Loss of grease will eventually result in failure of the cv joint & disconnecting from the hub assembly resulting in loss of propulsion and pose a potential safety hazard. It would seem that such a critical component should not fail so early in the vehicle's lifespan.
