I HAVE 2000 TOYOTA COROLLA LE WHICH I BOUGHT IN YEAR 2000. SINCE, PAST 5 YEARS I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH WINDOWS DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE (BACK OF DRIVER SIDE) TO GO UP AND DOWN. I THOUGHT IT WAS A MOTOR PROBLEM BUT FEW DAYS AGO MY FRIEND HAD ALSO THE SAME PROBLEM. HE ALSO BOUGHT THE SAME YEAR COROLLA WITH ME DURING SAME TIME. HE HAD GOT FIXED MOTOR, BUT STILL HE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS ANY DEFECTIVE PARTS IN THIS MAKE, AND MODEL OF 2000 TOYOTA. BECAUSE OF THAT SOMETIMES, MY WINDOWS REMAINED OPEN AND WHEN IT RAINED IT HAS RUINED INTERNAL PARTS. *TR

MY AUTOMOBILE IS A 2000 TOYOTA COROLLA. I WAS DRIVING ON AN ORDINARY ROAD AT PERHAPS 35 - 40 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOUD BANG AND MY DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW EXPLODED INTO HUNDREDS OF PIECES SCATTERING GLASS ONTO MY LAP AND INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR. I DID NOT HIT A BUMP AND DID NOT SEE ANY OTHER VEHICLES THAT COULD HAVE THROWN A STONE AGAINST THE WINDOW. I DROVE A SHORT DISTANCE BACK TO MY HOME AND CALLED THE POLICE BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT I MIGHT HAVE BEEN HIT BY A BULLET. THE INVESTIGATING OFFICER STATED THAT THIS OCCURS OCCASIONALLY AS A SPONTANEOUS EVENT. I AM NOT SURE THAT IS THE EXPLANATION AND WONDER IF YOUR ORGANIZATION HAS ANY SIMILAR CASES ON FILE ? THE WINDOW INVOLVED WAS MY LEFT SIDE - I COULDN'T SEEM TO CORRECT THE COMMENT THAT IT WAS THE RIGHT SIDE. *JB

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT THE SPEED GREATER THAN 40 MPH IS LOUD NOISE, CAN COST DAMAGE TO THE EAR. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. MR

NOTICED WHILE DRIVING A SMALL CRACK DEVELOP ON WINDSHIELD NEXT TO THE RIGHT MOLDING TOWARD THE BOTTOM. INSTANTLY IT TRAVELED STAIGHT ACROSS ALL THE WAY OVER TO THE LEFT SIDE WINDOW MOLDING. THE WINDOW ITSELF FEELS BRITTLE LIKE JUNK! IVE BEEN DRIVING FOR OVER 40 YEARS AND HAD MANY DIFFERENT CARS IN MANY DIFFERENT CONDITIONS, AND NEVER HAVE I SEEN A CRACK SHOOT ACROSS MY WINDSHIELD WHEN NOTHING HIT IT, OR HAD NO PREVIOUS CRACK. *AK

WINDOW FRAME WAS CRACKED AT THE CENTER OF WINDOW, NO SIGN OF IMPACT. PROBLEM OCCURRED THE FIRST HOT DAY AFTER BEING COLD FOR SEVERAL DAYS. DEALER NOTIFIED, AND REFUSED TO MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENT. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS ON THIS MATTER. *AK

RECENTLY I WAS CLEANING THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE AND I ACCIDENTLY BUMPED THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. IT WAS A FAIRLY LIGHT TAP AS WOULD BE FOUND IN TYPICAL CLEANING WITH A CLOTH OF THE INTERIOR OF A VEHICLE. UPON IMPACT THE REAR VIEW MIRROR BROKE AWAY FROM THE WINDSHIELD SHATTERING FRAGMENTS OF GLASS ALL OVER THE FRONT SEATS OF THE CAR. I WAS A LITTLE SURPRISED THAT IT CAME OFF SO EASILY AND I WAS VERY SURPRISED THAT IT BROKE THE GLASS OF THE WINDSHIELD IN THE PROCESS. *AK
