Toyota Corolla power windows problems

Filed Jan 26, 2016 · Visibility · 58,000 miles · OH

When outside are temps are colder and require heat and defrost the inside windows will not stay clear. The fogging of the windows makes this very unsafe to drive, worse at night. I have read on several blog sites and on the internet that is a common concern . Recirculation motor on HVAC is stuck into recirc mode and will not clear windows. This should be a safety recall as dangerous to drive.

When applying the brakes, my car will rev up. Especially when I'm going down hill. Another concern is that my car will make a 2-3 second rattling noise upon starting up. It only makes this noise once in a while and it is coming from the engine. Another issue I'm having is the car's check engine light, track light and vsc off light coming on simultaneously on any rainy day and staying on for several days after it has stopped raining. I avoid driving at fast speeds when its rainy because obviously the car is very unstable. My driver side window wont open or close and very cold days and other days it makes a weird noise. I just bought this car used and it has about 79k miles on it.

Sometime within the first 2 years of owning my 2002 corolla, the drivers side window started to stop working. It was intermittent. Sometimes I would roll my window down to order takeout and couldn't roll it back up and have to drive in cold then after several tries, it would roll up and be fine until the next time.....maybe 2 months would go by,,,,so I decided to have the driver side motor replaced under my 6 year, 100,000 miles warranty. It has been fine until this year, now my door handle on the inside has broken, and some how the window has come off the tract and when I roll the window up you can see by the tinting, that it has shifted and now the gap on my window, not at the top but at the side towards the rear, there is a 1/4 inch gap when window rolls up. This happened after my outside door handle became stuck when I opened my door, it stayed lifted up and I couldn't close my drivers side door. I had to physically push down on the outside door handle in order to get my door to shut and latch.....now my window won't roll up all the way and .....its a pain not to be able to go thru the car wash....I have to hold towels in it in order to not get interior wet. My car only has 80,000 miles on it.....anyone else having that kind of problems....people have tried to get door panel off and you need a special tool....of course you do! I don't have any cash to fix it so I just live with it.....what a pain! The dealership has been sold so, I am sol! Sorry they said.....that was under the old dealership and we don't honor their repairs! Whatever........at least I should be thankful my gas pedal doesn't stick!
