Replying to: geoblue (Jan 23, 2009 2:05 pm) I noticed the comment about US brands.  It should be possible to talk about Corollas without trying to denigrate US brands. As for water pumps, my GM's since 1981 have never needed one. Last three were 150K miles (wife made me trade it), 169K miles on a 1998 currently own at 11 years, and a 2003 at 83K. I have spent little at the dealer for repairs on these cars. I believe one needed an alternator at 80K.  I noticed the post because of the $630 price at the dealer -- WOW  -- and because it's a 1998 like my second car. Good luck with your Toyotas; may all your repairs be little ones.

I have a 2008 Corolla and one of my break-lights stopped working. I would like to know how to change it step by step.

Replying to: imidazol97 (Jan 23, 2009 4:38 pm) It is not denigrating.It is stating a fact.Why do you think ALL 3 of them have failed? They failed miserably.They are being kept alive artificially through taxpayer bailouts. They have not made a single reliable fuel efficient car ever.In their entire histories. And now they shamelessly are demanding more taxpayer money as a reward for their failures. You might be one of the few luck D3 (I call them C3) owners around. People who have never owned a Toyota (for example) think that it is normal to pay for transmission rebuilding, engine rebuilding jobs in the lives of their cars. It is certainly NOT.They think it is normal to pay for repairs. It is not. The only things that might fail in cars should be brakes, tires, lightbulbs etc. Not the transmission or the engine. I want them to succeed but they obviously do not want to have a successful business.They want to get bailed out frequently. They want to keep building gas guzzlers. They want to keep building inferior quality vehicles. They should be ashamed. |
