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.
Bought car had some peeling paint off roof. Now is it ten times worse & has spread to hood! We do not live by the beach, also has rust spots with the peeling paint. Upon looking at other Toyota's driving around in same year range, they have this same issue! Can't believe there isn't a recall on this!
This is awful! I had a 91 Accord and the paint was never chipped ! This is ridiculous and embarrassing. I can wash it and I know when I leave the only attention it will get is the severe chipping on the roof and hood, I just noticed a small amount of chipping on my back bumper a few minutes ago. I want to cry and I'm a grown man!
