2012 Toyota Corolla Body & Structure Problems

Your car was subject to a paint recall that expired in 2022, but your paint didn't start peeling until 2023, after the recall period ended. You weren't notified about the recall and only found out about it through an online post. The paint peeling appears to be a manufacturing defect rather than something you caused, and you believe the repair should be covered despite the expired recall period.

Paint it's peeling of on randomly spots that it should not have peeling I called toyota recall center and there is nothing they can do since there are no recalls for this models on paint

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V858000 (STRUCTURE) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE GATORLAND TOYOTA DEALER IN GAINESVIILE, FLORIDA WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED PARTS WERE NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED ANY FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PART NOT AVAILABLE.

I FOUND A CRACK ON MY CAR'S WINDSHIELD GLASS. I AM SURE THAT IT HAPPENED BECAUSE OF TEMPERATURE VARIATION. NOTHING WRONG HAPPENED TO MY CAR LIKE NO ONE HIT ANYTHING OR SOMETHING FELL ON THE CAR. I THINK MANUFACTURER SHOULD CONSIDER THE TEMPERATURE VARIATIONS IN THEIR MIND WHEN THEY ARE DESIGNING ANY PARTS OF THE CAR. IN ALL MODELS LIKE ME HAS A GAP BETWEEN WINDSHIELD AND BODY OF THE CAR. IF THAT GAP IS FILLED WITH ICE IT WOULD NOT ALLOW GLASS TO EXPAND WHEN TEMPERATURE GOES UP. COMPANY SHOULD FIX THAT GAP IN ALL OF ITS MODELS AND PROVIDE NEW GLASS TO EVERYONE WHO HAS A CRACK. IF CONSUMERS HAVE FIXED ALREADY MANUFACTURER SHOULD PAY FOR THAT. *TR

I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE I COULD NOT STOP COMING DOWN A HILL (IT WAS SNOWING IN MASSACHUSETTS) AND I WAS HIT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE (I WAS DRIVING) IN FRONT OF THE TIRE DAMAGING EVERYTHING IN FRONT OF THE FRONT TIRES. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND I WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC WHO ASSESSED THE DAMAGE THAT THEY 100% SHOULD'VE DEPLOYED. I SUFFERED A CONCUSSION TO THE HEAD AND NECK, SHOULDER, BACK AND LEFT LEG SPASMS. I WAS DIAGNOSED AT THE HOSPITAL THE DAY AFTER THE ACCIDENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOOR LOCK SYSTEM FAILED AND CAUSED THE DOORS TO CLOSE ABRUPTLY. THE DEALER CORRECTED THE FAILURE BY REPROGRAMMING THE ELECTRONIC COMPUTER SYSTEM; HOWEVER, THE REMEDY CAUSED THE ALARM SYSTEM TO FAIL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000.

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE (NEW) FROM THE DEALERSHIP, MY DAUGHTER WAS GETTING BITES ALL OVER HER LEGS AND I ALSO HAD SOME BITES, WHICH IS WHY I CHECKED THE BOX INJURY--HER BITES WERE SO BAD, HER LEGS SWELLED UP AND THEY WERE GETTING INFECTED. AT THE SAME TIME, WE BEGIN NOTICING SPIDERS CRAWLING AROUND THE FRONT OF THE CAR. ON THE WAY TO DISNEY WORLD, WE ALMOST HAD A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT, KILLING SPIDERS ON THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. WEBS APPEAR ON AND IN THE CAR. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 YEAR. I NEVER BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER BECAUSE I JUST THOUGHT A LONE SPIDER SOMEHOW GOT IN THE CAR AND HAD HUNDREDS OF BABIES. THE MORE I KILLED THEM, THE MORE THAT SHOWED UP. DURING THIS TIME, MY DAUGHTER'S LEGS WERE GETTING BIT UP BY SOMETHING AND WE NEVER PUT "2 AND 2" TOGETHER UNTIL WE SAW THE RECALL OF THE CAMRYS BECAUSE OF SPIDERS. I AM NOW CAPTURING THE DEAD SPIDERS AS I KILL THEM TO KEEP AS PROOF AND TAKING PHOTOS. THIS IS NOT A SINGULAR INCIDENT FOR THE COROLLA BECAUSE MY SISTER'S NEIGHBOR TOLD HER WHEN THEY PURCHASED THEIR BRAND NEW 2012 COROLLA, THEY HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS A NIGHTMARE. A BRAND NEW CAR THAT I PAID APPROXIMATELY $17,000 FOR I DON'T WANT TO EVEN OPEN THE DOOR. PLEASE INCLUDE THE COROLLA IN THE "SPIDER RECALL". WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING IMMEDIATELY--MY DAUGHTER AND I ARE GOING TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY KILLING SPIDERS!!!!! PLEASE HELP US!!!! *TR
