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.
There is a significant DESIGN flaw in the driver's side sun visor! When you put the visor down all the way it KNOCKS INTO the rear-view mirror. If you are not paying attention when you push down the visor, it will knock your rear-view mirror position completely out of alignment. If the Toyota Engineers would have 1) USED A RULER when designing this, or 2) Driven the vehicle DURING the daylight driving into the SUN, or 3) allowed anyone to test drive this car before putting it into production, the problem could be solved. I would like Toyota to issue a recall and/or repair/replace this defective visor at their expense!
