Replying to: btsridhar (Jul 08, 2008 9:20 pm) First off, how many total miles are on your car? If you are over 100K, to solve the acceleration problem you probably need... A) Timing Belt replacement - VERY important, a little expensive but usually needed every 90K-100K miles. B) Front Axle replacement- it could be popping in and out of your transmission causing the noise and slipping. C) New Transmission -** Get more than 2 opinons before you replace your transmission - most transmission mechanics are LIARS. Good Luck!

I have a 02 corolla ce and I noticed that the daytime running lights will not come on. My headlights work just fine including parks and they still come on by themselves. I checked the fuse and relay under the hood and they are fine. What else could I check that could be causing the problem? thanks |

My 2006 Corolla with 52,000 has a computer glitch. A part in the computer will not read the chip in the key all of a sudden-they are not comaptible now. The car starts then dies within 5 seconds. The dealer has to order a part today and install it tomorrow or Wednesday. Is this covered by the Drivetrain warranty-5 years or 60,000 miles or where do these computer issues fall under? Is this a common issue, should there be a recall?

Replying to: nokeefe60 (Sep 15, 2008 9:21 am) There won't be a recall because it's not a safety related issue. There isn't even a Technical Service Bulletin on it, so this is apparently not a common thing with Corollas of that year. Cars that fail to read the key chip are legion, if you read the complaints all over Edmunds, for various makes and models. I think what happens is that somehow, through corrosion or whatever, the computer no longer reads the proper resistance in the chip. Have you tried cleaning up the key at all? I've heard of a trick on GM cars where people install a resistor equal to the key's resistance value, right into the ignition circuit as it exits the steering post, and this essentially by-passes the whole silly thing.
