| 2004 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:POWER ASSIST:HYDRAULIC:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS | I HAVE TWO CLAIMS ON TOYOTA COROLLA'S. EACH VEHICLE HAD A FIRE START IN THE WHEEL WELL AREA. THE DEALER IS BLAMING BRAKE FAILURE. THE FIRST VEHICLE IS AN 06 COROLLA AND THE OTHER IS AN 04 COROLLA. NEITHER VEHICLE HAS EVER HAD ANY BRAKE WORK DONE AND BOTH HAVE VERY LOW MILES. CERTAINLY THE 06 COROLLA SHOULD BE HANDLED BY TOYOTA UNDER WARRANTY BUT SO FAR THEY ARE NOT WANTING TO HANDLE THIS LOSS. *JB |
| 1997 | LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES | REAR DOOR LOCKS (RR,RL) HAVE INEXPLICABLY SEIZED AND DO NOT OPERATE IN EITHER A LOCKING OR UNLOCKING CAPACITY. MECHANICAL SEIZURE WITHIN THE LOCK ASSEMBLIES MAKES OPERATION OF LOCKS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT CONSIDERING THE MINIMAL TEXTURE AFFORDED ON THE LOCK LEVER. OUT OF FEAR OF BLOWING A FUSE OR RELAY, I HAVE DISCONNECTED THE ASSEMBLIES MANUALLY AND NOW HAVE MINIMAL POWER LOCKING CAPABILITY. |
