I used to own subaru and was active on subaru boards (non-Edmunds though). There was excitement daily: blown headgaskets, torque binds, O2 sensors failures, failed trannies, etc, etc. Toyota is indeed boring :-)
Oh... I don't think it's that perfect a world.

is providing enough Toyota problems along with the snap-ring discussion topic which is read only to keep everyone occupied.
2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,
You might want to have your serpentine belt tensioner/pulley inspected. These symptoms are very characteristic of what I experienced with my 2001 toyota corolla at 45k miles. I found the assembly on the web for about $127.00 and had a buddy put it on for me.
If you are mechanically inclined, you can check it by removing the serp. belt. If there is any looseness in the round pulley, your hydraulic dampener is leaking or the tension spring feels weak, you will need to replace it. Caution!!!! Before removing the belt, take a picture of it in its original configuration. I did not have a belt routing diagram in the engine compartment as most cars do. Maybe they forgot to put the sticker at the assembly plant. Would have been a nightmare if I had not photographed it with my digital camera.
I'm pretty sure this is the problem!
Good luck
What a nightmare for camry owners! I was buying new car this year but stayed away from camry because they are so ugly, the new one even more.
I just got a 2006 RAV4 that is also new for this year with a new engine (269HP 3.5 V6), but the older 5-speed AT design.
I keep my fingers crossed.
Does anyone know why my Corolla's AT seems to engage twice. I will take it out of park and into drive and there is an initial engagment and then a second later a second engagement. Don't know if it is the motor mounts or the transaxle or possibly a CV joint going out. Any info would be greatly appreciated. :^)
Thank you for your help.
hey thanks for your help I'll check that out.
Would you happen to know the website where you purchased the assembly?
thanks again

i believe there is a TSB covering your vehicle related to steering noise issues.

P.S. Freight was right at $10.00 from their location to Texas.

The Passanger Air Bag indicator light ( The middle light ) on my Toyota Corolla Remains on at all times. The on and off Light on both sides remain off unless i have a passanger.. Is this normal??? Thanks
Thanks
My driver side window will drop by itself (2") after I start to crank down the window.
Is this normal?? :confuse:
(The noise does not come when I shift from 'D' to 'P' position on long red signals.)
If you found out the problem, please tell me what it is :-(
I have driven 500 miles non-stop with this condition, as I said before the problem is only at low speeds and complete stops and the car is OK on the highway
This problem is there ever since i took the car to my new mechanic 2 mths ago, has he done any goofups??I will never know...
When coming out of park after my car has been sitting overnight or for more than an hour,there is a sharp ping noise that lasts for a second when i accelerate.. Any guesses?? Thanks
2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,
Sorry to hear about your troubles. I'm having the same exact problem with my 2005 toyota corolla S. I've had it for 1-1.2 yrs now. Ever since I've had it, it has been not always started. It will start in the mornings or whenever I first start the car but after it has been started that day it won't always start up again. Sometimes it take 2 or 3 tries before it will start again. My dad had the same exact problem with his 2005 toyota corolla ce. he brought it in to the dealer and they replaced the fuel pump. After a few months it started doing it again and my dad finally just decided to sell. I brought my car in to a toyota dealership and they didn't attempt to fix anything because they said it started up fine for them and they have checked out everything and everything seems to be working fine like it should be. Right now I'm up to 30,000 miles and I'm probably going to trade it in for honda or possilby a 2007 toyota if I don't hear of anyone that has found a solution to this prolbem. I just afraid that when the warranty expires I will be the one who has to shell out the money to fix it, if they can determine what it is and that can take a lot of fixing something that doesn't need to be fixed to begin with. If you have had a solution, please let me know. I would really love to hear from you regarding this. Like I said, I'm at the point within the next few weeks of getting another vehicle and losing out on a few thousand dollars.
