2007 Toyota Corolla
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Toyota dealer.
CarComplaints.com Notes: Beware of the NHTSA complaint data for the 2007 Corolla. It is almost certainly misleading.
The problem with NHTSA data for the 2007 Corolla is that for months on end, the news media repeatedly told the public that several Toyota models have an unintended acceleration defect, & to go to safercar.gov (the NHTSA's website) to file a complaint.
So, the NHTSA received a disproportionate number of complaints about Toyota unintended acceleration issues because of the national news media attention, to the point where now the NHTSA data is unreliable taken in context with any other vehicle that did not receive national news attention.
CarComplaints.com typically receives more complaints per day about vehicles than the NHTSA does, but the news media did not repeatedly say "go to CarComplaints.com to report your Toyota acceleration problems" like they did about the NHTSA -- so although we have less complaint data than the NHTSA for the 2007 Corolla, our data for the Corolla is a far more statistically accurate representation of the Corolla's reliability than what the NHTSA data shows.

I have two corollas, a 2001 and a 2007. I just recently had to have my transmission on my 2001 corolla changed due to failing bearing. Was not worth fixing because of the metal flakes inside. Had been making whining noise for almost two years but never got worse until just recently on a long trip. Started sounding really bad and clunky when decelerating. Had to have a friend drive three hours with trailer to bring it back home. Didn't want to drive it anymore in fear of locking up.
Anyway, I also have a 2007 corolla that only has 35,500 miles on it. Yes that's right. Has been my backup car for many years and rarely gets driven. Anyway just recently drove it on a long trip and just started noticing a clicking noise. Have had a few diagnostic opinions on it, and they all say it sounds like a bearing is going bad in transmission. Have not got a quote on fixing it yet. I really am thinking a rebuild since I probably won't find another transmission with same or lower miles than the one in it. Can't wait to hear the cost!
Was thinking of getting rid of my 2001 corolla and looking for another newer corolla. Hard to find a used corolla with manual transmission.
Now I am starting to think I might look at some other brands of cars. I am finding out that Toyota has quite a reputation for not admitting they have a problem with the 5 speed manual transmission bearings.
