#3427 of 3491 Passenger side speaker went dead. by blue987 Oct 19, 2009 (8:16 pm)
So the speaker on the passerby side isn't working. I'm guessing it has something to do with the wiring. How do I open up the door panel and see what's wrong?   I don't know anything about cars so respond like I don't. Thanks.

Replying to: terceltom (Oct 19, 2009 11:58 am) They sure didn't offer to replace the part. What did the the TSB warning say? Are they required to replace the part? I don't have any issue replacing it myself, but won't if they will cover it. I haven't gotten around replacing because it only happens when it is cold. The noise has started again.

Replying to: cla10beck (Oct 23, 2009 6:46 pm) You might want to follow this link to read all of the TSB's for the 2004 Toyota Corolla and then take it to your dealer and ask him about what they are doing about the know problem? I know when my tensioner went bad in my 2001 Corolla I received a letter directly from Toyota and it was replaced totally for free.   http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/tsb/tsbresults_drilldown.cfm?start=1&- - SearchType=DrillDown&type=VEHICLE&year=2004&make=TOYOTA&model=COROLLA&&TYPENUM=1- - &SUBMIT=Retrieve+Recalls&PrintVersion=YES
#3430 of 3491 2003 Corolla won't start by jtackett Oct 25, 2009 (4:33 pm)
I have an 2003 with 130,000 miles and have had no problems with this car at all. Yesterday the car started rough. Thinking the battery, I checked the water levels and added some water. It will not start at all now. Battery checks ok and the started has been bench tested. Any suggestions? Replies to this message: terceltom (Oct 25, 2009 8:00 pm) jtackett (Oct 25, 2009 8:44 pm)

Replying to: jtackett (Oct 25, 2009 4:33 pm) When you say "started rough", I'll assume it started, but idled rough. New plugs lately? Iridium and Platinum plugs good for about 100,000/120,000 miles. Plug wires? Clean battery terminals? Replies to this message: jtackett (Oct 25, 2009 8:44 pm)

Replying to: terceltom (Oct 25, 2009 8:00 pm) The starter had a hard time starting the car. It ran fine after I got it started. New plugs at 100,000 miles. Battery terminals clean. Plug wires good. Power to starter, will check solenoid in the am. Counter guy at Advance auto stated that even if "bench checked" need to know output of starter. If 10ohms output should be around 70ohms so still could be starter.

"Toyota issued the largest recall in company history, affecting 3.8 million vehicles dating back to 2004".   http://www.leftlanenews.com/a-closer-look-at-toyotas-sudden-acceleration-problem- - .html     They designed a car with out a kill switch and a poorly designed accelerator pedal, and then blame it on the car owner which installs a floormat and not aware of the 3 second kill delay? Not so "Smart"     Here are some additional information about Toyota's quality and engineering practices:     "Consumer groups are watching and If the allegations are correct that Toyota destroyed or withheld (electronic) data, it has the potential to reopen hundreds of Toyota rollover cases."     http://www.usatoday.com/money/autos/2009-09-01-rollover-lawsuits-toyota_N.htm     "Consumers saddled with sludge-clogged Toyota engines may soon get some help from the Japanese auto giant under the terms of a class-action lawsuit settlement that covers roughly3.5 million Toyota and Lexus vehicles damaged by engine oil sludge."     http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2007/01/toyota_sludge_settlement.html    jd Replies to this message: terceltom (Oct 30, 2009 6:00 am) mcdawgg (Oct 30, 2009 6:03 am)

Replying to: jim_dandy (Oct 29, 2009 5:30 pm) JD, the mat recall was for Camrys not Corollas, perhaps you might want to post that on the Camry forum. Replies to this message: mcdawgg (Oct 30, 2009 6:03 am)

Replying to: terceltom (Oct 19, 2009 11:58 am) We'll, Perhaps I should have trusted my gut instead of acting on the diagnosis of the Toyota techs. I replaced the belt tensioner, and the grinding noise that occurs when cold still happens. Once the car warms up, it is fine, and in warm weather there is not issue. It sounds like it is coming from the passenger floorboard area   Has anybody had a similar issue?
