2006 Toyota Corolla problems
The Toyota Corolla (Japanese: トヨタ・カローラ, Hepburn: Toyota Karōra) is a series of compact cars (formerly subcompact) manufactured and marketed globally by the Japanese automaker Toyota Motor Corporation. Introduced in 1966, the Corolla was the best-selling car worldwide by 1974 and has been one of the best-selling cars in the world since then. In 1997, the Corolla became the best-selling nameplate in the world, surpassing the Volkswagen Beetle. Toyota reached the milestone of 50 million Corollas sold over twelve generations in 2021.
The name Corolla is part of Toyota's naming tradition of using names derived from the Toyota Crown for sedans, with "corolla" Latin for "small crown". The Corolla has always been exclusive in Japan to Toyota Corolla Store locations, and manufactured in Japan with a twin, called the Toyota Sprinter until 2000. From 2006 to 2018 in Japan and much of the world, and from 2018 to 2020 in Taiwan, the hatchback companion had been called the Toyota Auris.
Early models were mostly rear-wheel drive, while later models have been front-wheel drive. Four-wheel drive versions have also been produced, and it has undergone several major redesigns. The Corolla's traditional competitors have been the Nissan Sunny, introduced the same year as the Corolla in Japan and the later Nissan Sentra, Nissan Sylphy, Honda Civic and Mitsubishi Lancer. The Corolla's chassis designation code is "E", as described in Toyota's chassis and engine codes.

AIR BAGS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2019-12-23
- VIN: 1NXBR30E96Z
- Components: AIR BAGS
- Summary: There was a recall in 2015 and 2019 for airbags on my model of Toyota. I own a 2006 Toyota Corolla CE. I was sent a letter from Toyota to go into a local dealership to get this done. There's only one dealership in our tri-city area. I took it into our local dealership called Findlay Toyota in Prescott, Arizona. I will say ahead of time that they have over 50 - one star reviews on Yelp.com From the moment I left the dealership in December of 2019 my airbag light was on in the dash area and it’s still there. When i went in and told Brian at the time he said it will go away. It never has. This warning was never on my dash prior to this recall. I’ve filed a complaint with the Attorney general’s office of Arizona and Findlay have no recollection of me ever going into their dealership. I've sent documentation of my visit on to the Attorney Generals Office and I’ve never heard back from Findlay Toyota. I've spoken to a Mike in July at Findlay and he was willing to waive the $130 or $150 fee only though if nothing is found wrong. I don't trust dealerships and if there's anything wrong then it was more than likely due to their workmanship back in 2019 that created this issue to begin with. I’ve also filed a complaint with the Attorney general’s offic of Texas against the Toyota headquarters because they in my opinion have caused this issue because I never had this problem prior to the work that was done at Findlay Toyota. All Toyota USA did was give me a case number and send me right back to Findlay Toyota who don't want to help me in the slightest. It’s just a conundrum. The sad thing is I think Toyota is a great company but the way that I’ve been treated in this matter is beyond appalling. I've also written to the headquarters of Toyota in Japan, explaining he above story. They never replied either. I've also called the general manager, a Mr. McCoy at Findlay Toyota and he hasn't called me back.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-08-10
- VIN: 2T1KR32E66C
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: Air bag light has been on for awhile and now the horn is not working. When the horn stopped working I took it in for repair again. Toyota repair department says it's a failure of the spiral cable. I found there was a recall to replace the spiral cable in Toyota Corolla Matrix vehicles but 2009 - 2010 year models, not my year of 2006. The documentation I found was very clear in stating it was going to do a recall not because of a manufacturing defect but because of a design issue. I think my vehicle should have been included in the recall because it probably has the same or similar design.

AIR BAGS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-08-12
- Number Of Injuries: 1
- Crash: 1
- VIN: 1NXBR32EX6Z
- Components: AIR BAGS
- Summary: Inflator Rupture - front passenger inflator. A vehicle collision at Alma School and 8th Avenue where one vehicle turned left in front of the oncoming involved 2006 Toyota Corolla resulting in the Corolla striking the right side of the other vehicle. During the collision the airbags were commanded to deploy and the passenger inflator had a significant rupture/failure which sent shrapnel out of the dash, striking the passenger. Our unit has investigated two confirmed Takata inflator fatalities and after a brief visual inspection it was confirmed the passenger inflator is in several pieces. The appearance of the inflator is consistent with prior observed passenger side Takata inflators. The car has been preserved in our parking lot and the passenger side airbag, with related tears and shrapnel holes, was obtained and preserved as well. The crash was filmed on intersection CCTV and the inflator can be seen expelling fragments outwards. A Dropbox file has been created to exchange photos and video upon request. Thank you. I am a Detective with the Mesa Police Department Vehicular Crimes Unit and was made aware of NHTSA's interest in identifying inflator related cases.

AIR BAGS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-03-17
- Number Of Injuries: 2
- Crash: 1
- VIN: 1NXBR32E76Z
- Components: AIR BAGS
- Summary: On March 17, 2023 at approximately 4:12 PM on Hwy 288 northbound just south of Southmore Boulevard I was struck from behind by a Blue Jetta. Skidding into me I think he was still going about 30 miles per hour if not a little more based on the violence of the crash. My vehicle was pushed forward into the car ahead of me damaging the front of my vehicle as well. Despite the impact, my air bags did NOT deploy. I had taken the vehicle in to the Toyota shop here in Humble, TX and had the "final fix" done on the airbags. I have been physically injured as a result of this automobile accident. I have filed with my Progressive Claim Adjuster and they are talking about totaling the vehicle. Policy Number 46753320. My concern is, despite the vehicle air bags being replaced, they did not deploy. The force of the impact should have been sufficient to activate them. It could of course be a defective switch given her age, but I'd rather let science do the talking.

- Summary: I purchased a Toyota three years ago, immediately I complained about the brakes scrubbing and squeaky sounds, the dealer denied anything was wrong with the brakes. After paying the last payment the other day, now the brake pedal is stiff as a board and takes alot of pressure to stop, which is a safety hazzard to all. Also there have been no warning lights come on notification of any problems. I've also noticed Electrical problems like the dash lights going off and on the clock works when it takes a notion.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER,SERVICE BRAKES PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2020-01-31
- Number Of Injuries: 1
- Crash: 1
- VIN: JTDBR32E860
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER,SERVICE BRAKES
- Summary: My mother’s car suddenly went out of control in the parking lot of the local power company. The car was out of control like a wild horse and crashed several cars. This is not a driver error. The car mileage reading is ~40,000. I found that there are recalls on the Toyota cars (with problems such as cars went of control and accelerated uncontrollably), but not this particular car/VIN #. (The car’s airbag was on the recall list, but when we stopped at the local Toyota dealership’s service department, the assistant manager always tell us that they are busy, come back next time. It happened more than 3 times.) After contacting Toyota Corporate, Toyota sent out a third party to do an inspection on the car. The 3rd party inspector downloaded a whole bunch data. Based on the 3rd party’s findings, Toyota Corporate states that no evidence that the incident was the result of the defect in [this] vehicle. My mother maintains the car accordingly to the instructions of the local Toyota dealership’s service department. One strange thing was that the 3rd party inspector told Toyota Corporation that there were a lot fire ants presented in the car at the time of his inspection. This seems impossible. My family members and the tow truck driver did not find any fire ants before and after the 3rd party’s inspection. The vehicle’s parked at the local Toyota dealership’s parking lot at the time of inspection. There must be a problem with car when it went out of control. Please advise, thanks!

AIR BAGS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2020-09-20
- VIN: 2T1BR32E46C
- Components: AIR BAGS
- Summary: We had recall work done for Airbag, sensor light came on after repairs. One dealer quoted $150 to look at the sensor another wanted $450+. The light was not on before recall work was done. It is clear that whatever they did for the recall caused this to happen, don't care if it's not under warranty the dealer caused the issue electrical whatever and should fix it. Obviously this is a known issue with the 2006 Toyota and should also be part of the recall.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2020-10-23
- VIN: 2T1LR32E86C
- Components: VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
- Summary: I JUST BOUGHT A 2006 MATRIX (TOYOTA). IT ONLY HAS 88,000 MILES ON IT (OCTOBER, 2020). THE CAR IS IN GREAT CONDITION AND SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF. I'VE TAKEN IT TO 2 SEPARATE QUALIFIED MECHANICS. THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. WHEN THE LIGHT IS OFF THE CAR RUNS PERFECT. WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO WORK THE GAS PEDAL WAS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL ON A STRAIGHT AWAY FLAT ROAD. I WAS DRIVING 30MPH LEAVING TOWN. THE SPEED LIMIT INCREASED TO 40MPH BEFORE FURTHER INCREASING TO 65MPH HIGHWAY. IT'S A STRAIGHT FLAT ROAD. I COULD NOT GET THE CAR OVER 55MPH. WHEN I GOT TO A SMALL HILL THE CAR FINALLY MADE IT TO THE TOP 45 MPH WITH THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY DEPRESSED. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO GET THE CAR UP TO HIGHWAY SPEED AS I WAS COMING DOWN THE OTHER SIDE OF THE HILL WITH THE GAS PEDAL STILL DEPRESSED COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. I USED A HALF OF A TANK OF GAS TO DRIVE 15 MILES. I AM WRITING THIS AS I AM CONCERNED. WHEN I LOOKED ONLINE I FOUND THE PROBLEM I AM DESCRIBING WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONGST OTHER MATRIX OWNERS. I COULD ALSO SEE SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS WHERE THE MATRIX ACCELERATED AND WAS UNABLE TO BE STOPPED. WHY HASN'T THE 2006 BEEN RECALLED? WHAT IS THE LIKELIHOOD OF THE MATRIX ACCELERATING OUT OF CONTROL ON ME AFTER THE PEDAL IS FLOORED WITH NO ACCELERATION? THE RISK SEEMS PRETTY HIGH CONSIDERING THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE. I AM A MOTHER OF 2. ARE MY KIDS SAFE IN THIS CAR? ARE OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD SAFE FROM THIS CAR?

This Corolla is amazing! I'm so glad I own this vehicle. Toyota really hit the mark with this one. When my family asked me what I thought, I simply said, 'What a fun, affordable, sporty, and smooth car!' It's a must-have for college students, young married couples, and older, mature people who just want a no-nonsense kind of vehicle. I rated this vehicle very highly, and I truly meant it!

In November 2005, I researched extensively to find a new car that would be reliable and cost-effective for my needs. I was not looking for anything fancy, but I wanted a car that would last a long time if I took care of it. After considering various options, I narrowed it down to the Corolla and the Civic. Although the Civic was more stylish and had a nicer ride, it turned out to be far more expensive in almost every category, including final price, insurance, and maintenance costs. Therefore, I decided to go with the Corolla. I have owned the car for over 15 years now, and it has not disappointed me. I have only had to do the expected regular maintenance, and the only major maintenance I did was repaint the hood and roof of the car a year ago as the paint was beginning to fade and chip off. Overall, the car has been worth every penny, and I hope to keep it for at least 5 more years, making it a full 20 years of ownership, after which I'll probably be ready for another new vehicle.

Your Corolla is 12.5 years old now and still giving you good service. It sounds like it has been the best car you have owned, especially regarding cost and repairs. It's great to hear that it's a solid little car with great mileage too!

This is our 4th purchase of a brand new Toyota. It's our first time purchasing the Corolla and we're really impressed with its power, which surpasses that of our previous 6 cyl. Camry. Although we purchased the car sight unseen, we're happy to report that the Corolla is a fun car to drive. However, we would not recommend it for long distance driving unless you're willing to take frequent breaks. We've noticed that Toyota has made significant improvements over the last 18 years and they just keep getting better and better.

I got my Corolla when I turned 16 and have had it for 5 years now. It's a great car that gets around quickly and easily, with no trouble with the engine. The gas mileage is fantastic, making it an affordable option for anyone looking for a reliable car. I honestly have nothing negative to say about it. It's super reliable and large enough to pack my whole dorm room when coming home from college. I've had no problems going back and forth on 3-hour drives home and back to school. Additionally, it sits high enough that I never hit curbs when pulling into parking spots.

The car's fuel economy is definitely its strongest point. If you're in the market for a car due to rising gas prices and don't mind sacrificing handling and performance, this car could be a great fit for you. However, it may not be the best choice for new drivers due to its poor handling, and it may not appeal to car enthusiasts either.
Dangelo Gusikowski 2024-09-24
This is my third Toyota, a 2006 Corolla. Unfortunately, I have had to replace the transmission twice and the computer once. Now, my engine light is on again and I am feeling quite frustrated. I am hoping to find a solution soon. Thank you for your understanding.

My 2006 Corolla's steering pump broke less than a year and 9000 km after purchase, rendering it undriveable. Despite the dealership's estimate of a month for the part to arrive, I am confident that I will have my car back on the road soon. While Toyota's policy does not include providing a rental car or transportation until 10 days after the part is on backorder, I am confident in my ability to manage without a car for that period. It is worth noting that another 06 Corolla was in for the same problem. Although I was initially disappointed with my 2006 Corolla, I am confident that Toyota will make every effort to ensure my satisfaction going forward. In comparison, Saturn and GM may provide transportation the same day if they expect a part not to arrive for a month, but I am confident in Toyota's ability to provide excellent service and support.
Jamel Denesik 2024-06-12
The Corolla is a very reliable car, much like a Timex watch. I never worry about it breaking down, and it has great gas mileage at 30+. However, the seats are very uncomfortable and the steering wheel does not telescope. Additionally, the air conditioning hardly blows out at all when in head/foot position, and the defroster takes forever to unfog the windshield. As someone who drives an hour each way to work, I find that my back often hurts. The armrest is not very useful, except for storage. I am currently searching for a more comfortable car, as it can be difficult to find a car that is both inexpensive and comfortable. It is worth noting that the windshield is prone to cracking even from small impacts.

I experienced multiple issues with my Toyota Corolla S, including manual transmission and ECM failures. Despite the initial warranty coverage, I incurred significant expenses for repairs. As a result of these experiences, I have decided not to purchase another Toyota vehicle in the future.
