“TRANSMISSION SENSORS PROBLEM A NUMBER OF SENSORS THAT ARE BEING INDICATED AS NOT WORKING WHEN A COMPUTER CHECK TO DONE BY A MACANIC AT REPAIR SHOP. REQUEST ED RECALL CHECKS.”

“TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH SOLENOID PERFORMANCE. MY 18 OLD DAUGHTER JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM THIS MAN WHO HAD RESET THE CAR SO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF. AFTER US DRIVING IT HOME AND SERVER MILES LATER IT WENT OFF. HE SAID HE HAD FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION OIL AND THAT HIS MECHANIC HAD TOLD HIM TO JUST RESET IT AND IT WOULD BE FINE OBVIOUSLY IT WAS NOT FINE. WE TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC WHO IS A VERY HONEST MECHANIC HAD STATED THAT THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE . HE PULLED UP SOME RECALLS AND INDICATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL DONE ON MODELS 04305 COROLLA UNFORTUNATELY THE VIN NUMBERS WERE 1ZZ -FE. I'M CALLING THE DEALERSHIPS AND ALL THEY CAN TELL ME IS THAT THIS MAY HAVE BEEN AN EXPIRED RECALL ON MY VEHICLE THEREFORE IT'S NO LONGER UNDER THE WARRANTY OF THE RECALL . THEY'RE NOT TELLING ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS THEY'RE JUST SAYING THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR VIN NUMBER . WITH ALL THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE I'VE SEEN A LOT OF THIS ISSUE HAS ARRIVED WITH OTHER VIN NUMBERS BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN OPEN . AT THIS POINT I'M NOT EVEN TOO SURE WHAT TO DO OTHER THAN GET A NEW TRANSMISSION OR REBUILT THIS TRANSMISSION.”

“THE VEHICLE STARTED SHOWING THE "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" AND THE ERROR CODE SHOWN WAS P0741. THE ERROR CODE SUGGESTS ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH CONVERTER SOLENOID. THIS ISSUES SEEMS TO BE COMMON ON THE 2005 COROLLA AND COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE TRANSMISSION DIES IMMEDIATELY WHILE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY OR HIGH-SPEED ROAD.”

“ONLY 94,000 MILES, FULLY DEALER MAINTAINED, 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. TRAVELING AT EXPRESSWAY SPEEDS AND LOUD SCREECHING/BANGING FROM TRANSMISSION. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE 6 MORE MILES TO DEALERSHIP, BUT MOVED TO RIGHT LANE AND WENT SLOWER. STILL WAS ABLE TO SHIFT, LOWER GEARS WEREN'T ENGAGING PROPERLY AND CAR STARTED DYING ON THE ROAD. DEALER DIAGNOSIS FOR $100 IS THAT IT NEEDS AN ENTIRE NEW 5 SPD TRANS AND CLUTCH ASSEMBLY, ALTHOUGH CLUTCH SEEMS FINE.I'VE DRIVEN MANUAL TRANS FOR OVER 40 YRS. THIS CAR NEVER EVEN HAD A CLUTCH REPAIR. RESEARCH ON THE WEB INDICATES THAT THIS IS A KNOWN POINT OF FAILURE THAT TOYOTA HAS CHOSEN NOT TO FIX AND THE POTENTIAL DANGER OF HAVING THIS TRANSMISSION BLOWING OUT AT HIGH SPEED COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR CRASH ON THE HIGHWAY HAD I NOT BEEN SKILLED AT GETTING THE CAR INTO A SAFE AREA. *TR”
