2000 Toyota Corolla

I WAS DRIVING MY TOYOTA COROLLA AND EVERYTHING WORKED. NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY HAPPENED. I WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE, BRAKE, LISTEN TO THE RADIO, AC ON HIGH AND GET 30MPG IN THE CITY. SOMETHING MUST BE WRONG WITH MY CAR. NHTSA AND THE MEDIA HAS CONVINCED ME THAT I MIGHT DIE WHILE DRIVING MY TOYOTA AND YET I FEEL JUST AS SAFE AS EVER. PLEASE HELP ME. THANK YOU. *TR

THE PROBLEM I NOTICED WITH THIS VEHICLE, WAS WITH THE BRAKES EVERY TIME I WOULD BRAKE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP ON COMMAND THE CAR WOULD CONTINUE TO GLIDE. THIS WAS REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES AND THE RESPONSE I RECEIVED WAS BASICALLY I DID NOT KNOW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT AND I WAS IMAGINING THIS PROBLEM. UNTIL THIS DAY THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. THE SECOND INCIDENT HAPPENED WHEN MY FIANCE WAS IN AN HEAD ON COLLISION IN MY CAR, THE FRONTAL AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY AS A RESULT HE INJURED HIS NECK AND BACK. THE REPAIRS WERE DONE ON MY CAR BY THE DEALERSHIP ,AND KNOW MY AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY AND THAT ALSO HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REFUSE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM WHICH HAD OCCURRED AFTER MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN TAKEN TO THEM FOR REPAIRS. THE LIGHTS IN MY DASH BOARD HAVE ALMOST COMPLETELY GONE OUT. *JB

WHEN TRAVELING IN RAIN OR ON WET ROADS SUCH AS I-95, STEERING, AIR CONDITIONING, ALTERNATOR AND BRAKES FAIL. APPARENTLY WATER ON THE POWER BELT CAUSES IT TO SLIP AND RENDERS THE COMPONENTS TO BE INOPERATIVE UNTIL THE WATER IS REMOVED. THIS HAS CAUSED MANY CLOSE CALLS SUCH AS MAKING A LEFT TURN ONTO ANOTHER STREET AND LOSING THE STEERING WHEN HALF WAY THROUGH THE TURN HEADING ME TO PEDESTRIANS ON THE SIDEWALK. AT THE SAME TIME THE AIR CONDITIONER/DEFROSTER QUITS AND THE WINDSHIELD FOGS UNTIL THE A/C IS MANUALLY RESET. ADDING TO THE PROBLEM . I REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO THE SERVICE MANAGER WHO REPLIED THAT HE HAD NEVER HEAR OF A SIMILAR PROBLEM AND THAT HE WOULD CHECK FOR INFORMATION WITH TOYOTA AND GET BACK TO ME, SIX MONTHS AGO HE NEVER DID. I BELIEVE A RECORD OF THIS MALFUNCTIONING COMPONENT SHOULD BE MADE AS I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT OTHER COROLLA OWNERS DO NOT HAVE THE SAME DANGEROUS PROBLEM. DT
