I believe that the dealer is just reimbursed from Toyota for warranty work/parts at Toyota's pricing! In SEVERE cases or bigger disputes...your dealer can be asked to call for a factory Rep...
 
IN YOUR CASE I WOULD CALL TOYOTA CORP AND MAKE THE REQUEST AS WELL...THEY WILL ALSO GIVE YOU A CASE NUMBER!!! (only in case of big stuff...not for lightbulbs etc LOL)
 
dealers make their bucks from out of warranty, extras, and things like oil changes!!! Yours sounds like a nightmare!
 
Check out www.toyotanation.com direct link to 2009 and up Corollas is: http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=149
 
for very valuable info, that covers tons of stuff. It is a free forum and joining (if you want to post or ask questions etc) is FREE! or you can just lurk and learn! A lot of times you will also learn about TSB's (tech service bulletins) that are not usually made public.....Lots of knowledgeable folks there that enjoy sharing!

Ac turns off and on by aimeedev
Aug 13, 2009 (8:27 am)

I have a 2004 Corolla and the Ac has in the past only two or three times not come on and then a day or so later come on by itself, I never worried since it only happened once in a blue moon but lately it wont come on and then after I have been driving for about 10 minutes or so it may come on like normal, and lately not at all- the vent won't even come on for outside air.. The knobs and temperature work normally when it does come on I can control the air no problem, anyone know why this is or what it could be?

Try the ac compressor clutch relay. A very common failure.

I went to Napa auto parts and the tech said it sounds simple like a switch but to be sure that I should go to the auto shop convieniently located behind them so I went to the automotive place and within 2 seconds the mechanic came back and said it is my blower motor, he said he banged it and it started working but that my motor was bad and I need to replace it which would cost 200+ dollars. I just wondered if I am being taken for a ride, right now the AC works but I am sure it will go out again and I was wondering if I should give in and take it back to the mechanic and get the new motor or take it somewhere else for a second opinio.

If it is just a blower motor, the part is about $70 and it takes about 30 minutes tops to change it. VERY easy, right behind the glove box.

1992 Corolla by terceltom

Picked up a 1992 Corolla to add to my collection. I have a 2001, 2009 and now a 1992. I wish I still had my 1979 I got rid of in 1990. Anyway,the gentleman I purchased the car from said he never had the timing belt changed. The cars has 102,000 original miles on it. I believe the 1992 Corolla's were the last year to have the belts and then they went to chains. My question is, am I correct that this year Corolla was a non-interference engine? If it is, am I correct that I could drive this "92" until the belt actually broke with no internal engine damage? I believe the valves and the pistons won't collide in a non-interference engine if the timing belt breaks.

93-97 Corollas also had a belt. I believe that the 89-92 and 93-97 engines were non-interference. If the belt breaks you are stranded, but you won't have a wrecked engine.

What is the number 3 in odometer area? by 2009buyer
Aug 28, 2009 (10:10 am)
Reply
In trying to set the trip meter in the area where the odometer is, I am not able to get the miles driven to show up again. Called the dealership and they want me to come in for a service to reset it. Any one out there know how to get this taken care of? It is a large number 3 showing in the area where the miles driven was and can not get it out. The owner's manual shows the number 3 but does not say what it means or how to clear it.

Warranty by biker4

Has anyone had an issue with the 60K/60mo powertrain warranty? Not the basic 36/36 one. I'm looking to buy an 07 Matrix and the previous owner had a coil/spark plug replaced at 39K and Toyota wouldn't cover it. What is excluded from the powertrain warranty?
