I was dropping off a DoorDash order at someone’s house, and when I pulled up to the curb, apparently there was an area where the street started slanting towards the curb all of a sudden. Like I had to back up to get out of it.

I was already quoted 300+ to repair. Would you guys just live with it? I’m so distraught. I feel like I swallowed a box of nails. My poor baby.

Serious question, just changed the oil on my 2020 corolla for the first time, and while the only thing I removed was the oil cap, I noticed those two threaded holes right in front of the oil cap. I feel like something is supposed to be there and it’s not…

Web site to buy used manual Corolla?

0 Upvotes

My 2006 Corolla LE died in 2021 during COVID. It was a 5 speed manual. There were only 2 choices at my dealer, a hybrid Corolla and what I purchased, a 21 Corolla SE CVT automatic. My child has a drivers permit and I am thinking she'll get the Corolla SE. So I am slowly looking for Corolla 1.8 liter, 5 or 6 manual transmission. I've driven Toyotas for 49 years & most have been manuals. I understand these are not popular anymore but does anyone know of a good (used) website to find a manual Corolla? Thanks in Advance!

Corolla Touring Wagon - big enough for a single child family?

Post image

Hey all! Been researching what car to get next and saw this one popping up on marketplace a bit. Is there anyone that has one of these plus a child?
Wondering if the boot space is big enough for a pram/stroller etc. also enjoying the fact these are hybrid and fuel efficient.

Will mostly be city / suburban driving.

Picture for reference!

I have a 2021 Corolla LE with key. Going to the drive in but I can seem to get into aux mode with the lights off? The yellow lights seem to stay on no matter what?

Any tips?

ODO number etched into engine mount

Post image

Bought this car 2 months ago. 2017 corolla LE. thought it was kinda odd that I found the number of miles etched into the mount under my hood when I bought it. 69,272 is exactly what the csr read when I drove off with it. Is this just some coincidence? Ive owned a few toyota before and never saw numbers under the hood.

12th Gen (18-present) Silver Corolla LE 2021, Things I did to feel cooler

Thumbnail

15 Upvotes

You know it's my first car. I never thought I'd get a car so soon and so new and so cool--I used to be so happy. But as I grew to know more about cars, I learned the reputation Corolla's have for being economy cars.

And somewhere along the way I felt inadequate about it. Maybe it's just the human spirit to never be satisfied.

Though instead of trying to fix that void with trying to buy something else, something likely out of my budget, I decided to double down.

I love this car now, if not only because I have made it my own.

Let me know what you think.

Wanted to pop in since I just acquired a 99 Corolla two weeks ago. It just turned 92k yesterday. Fun little car to drive around, Tundra been parked since 😂 Reminds me so much of my younger driving days, manual locks, windows, hell there’s even no trunk lever haha. Definitely worth the 3k I paid for it. Let’s see how many miles I can roll with this thing.

Replacing my 2012 with this 2024 Hybrid

Only the second car I’ve ever owned. Looked at some non-Corollas but this one just ticks all the boxes for my work and family. Only 30,000 kms on it and about $8k cheaper than brand new with the same extras (Corolla’s basically keep their value here in Australia)

12th Gen (18-present) Corolla Infotainment Screen Blank

Model and year: 2022 Corolla SE

TL;DR: Infotainment screen shut off after having been connected to Carplay and no longer turns on or is responsive. Reverse camera still works.

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone had something similar happen.

I was driving around this afternoon with my phone connected to CarPlay when it suddenly froze, turned black and wouldn’t respond. I left it for a few hours and I came back to it still not working. The radio and no sound plays anymore.

When I put it in reverse, the reverse camera turns the screen on, but when putting it back to drive or park, the screen turns black and the side buttons flash every few seconds like in the video.

I checked online and someone suggested putting it in reverse for 10 minutes and holding the power button for 10 seconds but that also didn’t fix the issue.

The charging port also no longer charges.

Has anyone had this happen before and were you able to fix it?

When did you hit certain maintenance milestones?

4 Upvotes

Finally paid my Corolla off and looking at long term care for her.

I’ve done oil changes regularly but am coming up on long term maintenance like brakes and fluids around 72k miles.

How much mileage did you get from your factory brakes? When did you notice them going?

How about fluids and any other issues?

Got rear ended today

Back and neck are sore. Went to the er to get checked out. Thankfully no breaks or anything wrong.

Was rear ended at a stop in traffic. Guy was going probably 35-40 when he hit me. His airbag deployed. I’m not worried about the damages, insurance will handle it.

But my seat shifted back during the accident. It’s hard to notice on the pictures I took. But I sit further forward and upright than the seat is at.

After the accident I pulled over to the median and sat for a few in pain. Got out and talked with ems and le after my car called them for me. Got back in the car and noticed the seat was not in its previous position.

I did a little googling and apparently that’s not normal. Is this something worth following up on with an attorney or Toyota or? I’m a little unnerved about it all and google has given me a bit of a scare.

How Bad Did I Do?

Post image
24 Upvotes

I purchased a 2021 Toyota Corolla LE with 57k miles and no reported accidents for $18k ($19.4k after MI tax). I negotiated down from $18.5k… it’s the best I could do and the best I could find in my area of West Michigan. It’s kinda scratched up but not too noticeable after covering them with an OEM black touchup pen. I had a full inspection done on it to find that the back brakes will need replacing fairly soon, everything else looked good. I question if I should have just bought a Toyota on FB Marketplace instead. I spent 67% of what I make in a year, while only working weekends and being a full-time student. How are we feeling about it?

10th Gen (09-13) Moisture buildup and mold on the floor?

Was cleaning out my 2010 Corolla that I just bought a few months ago and noticed that the floor in the backseat is wet and seems to have mold. I’m not a mold expert but it sure looks like mold. I haven’t spilled anything or left the windows down when it rains or anything like that. I don’t even think I’ve had anyone ride in the backseat with food or drinks either. What’s causing this and how do I fix it?
