Sorry to hear that your so dissatisfied that you want
to get rid of the car........don't forget how costly
that dissatisfaction will be......the depreciation alone
could be about $1,500-2,000, then add new fees, taxes,
licenses, etc. it gets expensive fast.
 
A less costly way would be to get a "Lemon Law"
attorney. Of course you must document all your efforts
in dealing with this car and the dealers response to repair it and meet
all the requirements of the law for your state.....but
if you are successful it would be the least expensive way
to go and you could end up with a new car.
 
Good luck.

Well, I would say you need a lemon before you try to invoke the lemon law. I highly doubt they would make Toyota give the owner a new car just because they did not like, or were unable to adjust to a new type steering. All Corolla's being equal, I'm sure Toyota would claim that out of millions of Corolla's sold and only a relatively small number of drivers that can't get used to there upgrade would not make the Corolla qualify as lemon.

Toyota Recall by mnf

FYI for Toyota owners this may effect.
 
Toyota recalls 95,700 Toyota, Scion cars in U.S
 
DETROIT — Toyota Motor Corp is recalling about 95,700 Toyota and Scion vehicles sold in the United States because ice could accumulate on their braking systems and make it harder for drivers to slow down.
 
The recall involves 2009 and 2010 model year Toyota Corolla, Corolla Matrix and 2008 and 2009 Scion xD vehicles, all equipped with 1.8 liter engines, the company said in a statement on Wednesday.
 
If people drive the cars in extremely low temperatures, ice may accumulate at the brake system port and decrease braking power and lengthen vehicle stopping distances, Toyota said.
 
Since the condition can happen at low temperatures, Toyota's recall applies to vehicle owners in 19 states: Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

Oh great so since i live in california but frequest cold states my car will not be recalled?? I would really love to know how they don't recall them for everyone?? My 2009 corolla was built in the US and had the radio replaced right away because it was freezing up and then my brakes were replaced at 10,000 miles, completely down to damaging my rotors. I also have the 30-40 mile an hour funky rpm thing, and was told that it was normal for the corolla to do this and I believed him cause I went from a full sized suv to this car. I now know it seems to be a problem, and i have 15,000 miles currently and am having brake issues again! All in all love the car but will think twice about going to our winter locations if the brakes wont stop me.

If I were you I'd take the car to the dealer and explain your situation. They might do the recall action because you drive a lot on cold states. If they refuse, you could contact Toyota Customer Service about it. Odds are they would not want to risk being held liable should you have a problem with the brakes while driving in cold weather.

My state was not on the list (Washington) and i will be talking to my dealer and i am sure they will make it right. I an 5 miles from Idaho and 80 miles from Montana. We had a record year with over 100 inches of snow in this area last year. I think that there states listed are guidlines but not in stone.

Thankfully my state is not is not listed......but anyhow it usually
doesn't get driven when the weather is bad. It's not a trailer queen,
but rather a garage queen.
 
More Corolla news..........Toyota is throwing in the towel at the
NUMMI facility in Fremont, CA and shifting their Corolla production to existing facilities
in Canada and Toyota City, Japan. About 4,700 people averaging about $65K/yr will be idled.
 
I've toured the Toyota City plants and it's well worth your time if you
are ever in the Tokyo area. The Corollas are built at the Kanto facility.

air bags by crazedmom

Just a note to all, i learned the hard way that side air bags will not go off in a t bone accident! Me and my 2 young kids were driving in my brand new corolla and were broadsided and spun around 180 degrees, couldnt even open the door where my 9 year old was, no air bags deployed. Contacted toyota and was told they will only deploy in rollover accidents. My daughter had to go through 4 months of therapy for her head and neck injuries, and still having headaches. I was under the impression this was a very safe car or I wouldn't have traded in a large suv! Oh well, we are alive!
