Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)THE REAR LIGHTS (REGULAR REAR LIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS) ON MY 1995 TOYOTA COROLLA FAIL CONSTANTLY AND INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN I REPLACE THE BULB(S), THE PROBLEM IS BACK WITHIN DAYS. ACTUALLY, I DO NOT EVEN KNOW IF THEY HAVE EVER ALL WORKED FOR MORE THAN MINUTES! SOMETIMES THEY START WORKING AGAIN BY THEMSELVES. I HAVE GIVEN UP TRYING TO KEEP ALL FOUR LIGHT BULBS FUNCTIONING. MANY OTHER COROLLAS OF THE SAME YEAR HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. IN FACT, SINCE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE CAR (MY WIFE BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW (CECILIA KIPP - HER NAME AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE) AND DROVE IT UNTIL THE PAST YEAR), I HAVE YET TO SEE A COROLLA THAT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED (LOOKS THE SAME) THAT HAS THE REAR LIGHTS WORKING. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT NO ONE WANTS TO ADDRESS.*AK
THE TAIL LIGHTS (STOP LIGHTS) ON MY 1995 TOYOTA COROLLA FAIL CONSTANTLY AND INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN I REPLACE THE BULB(S), THE PROBLEM IS BACK WITHIN WEEKS. SOMETIMES THEY START WORKING AGAIN BY THEMSELVES. I HAVE GIVEN UP TRYING TO KEEP ALL FOUR LIGHT BULBS FUNCTIONING. SOMETIMES WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD FLICKER. MANY OTHER COROLLA'S OF THE SAME YEAR HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. MOST OF THE 95 COROLLAS I SEE ON THE ROAD HAVE AT LEAST ONE NON-FUNCTIONING BULB. WHEN I SEE A 95 COROLLA ON THE ROAD, I WATCH IT AND WAIT FOR THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO COME ON - ALMOST ALWAYS AT LEAST ONE BULB IS NON-FUNCTIONING. I HAVE TWO ENGINEERING DEGREES AND I CAN NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I ASKED THE TOYOTA DEALER TO CHECK FOR RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM DURING MY LAST SERVICE, AND THEY IGNORED MY QUESTION. FROM WHAT I CAN TELL, THE HEAT FROM THE BULB CAUSES A HIGH RESISTANCE BETWEEN THE BULB AND THE SOCKET. THAT IS WHY I CAN TAKE THE BULB OUT, AND PUT THE SAME BULB BACK IN AND IT STARTS WORKING AGAIN. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. ONCE A CAR PULLED ALONG SIDE OF ME AND TOLD ME THAT ALL FOUR BULBS WERE NOT FUNCTIONING, AND THAT ONLY THE REAR WINDOW LIGHT WAS OPERATING. I AM CONCERNED THAT SOMEDAY EITHER MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE IN A 95 COROLLA MAY GET INTO A REAR-END COLLISION.
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR LIGHT DOES NOT WORK. IN THE DARK YOU CAN'T SEE WHAT GEAR YOU HAVE THE VEHICLE IN. NO WAY TO ACCESS THE LIGHT TO REPLACE IT.
DASH BOARD BULB FOR THE SHIFT COLUMN INDICATOR FAILED.
BRAKE LIGHT FAILURE. *AW
LEFT FRONT HEADLIGHT FAILED. *DSH
I HAVE REPLACED THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT 3 TIMES AND THE OEM PART SEEMS TO BE GOING OUT AGAIN, I HAVE ALSO REPLACED THE TAIL LIGHTS 2 TIMES AND THE LIGHTS JUST BURN OUT I HAVE SEEN MANY COROLLAS WITH THE SAME ISSUES...
