description: THIS IS A FOLLOW UP TO A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT. I FELT COMPELLED TO DO SO AFTER READING OTHER ISSUES PEOPLE WERE HAVING WITH THERE TOYOTA COROLLAS (S). I PURCHASED THIS CAR JUNE 1ST 2009. THREE WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE I NOTICED SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE PAINT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERS, THE SERVICE DEPT MANAGER LOOKED AT IT AND SAID IT WAS DUE TO THE ENVIRONMENT, THE SALES GUY TOLD ME IT WAS DUE TO TREE SAP AND THE THIRD TIME I TOOK IT THE SALES MANAGER SAID IT WAS FROM BIRD CRAP ( IT'S GARAGED MOST OF THE TIME). WEEKS LATER I WAS HIT BY A CONCRETE TRUCK, AT FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS THE TRUCKS FAULT BUT NOT REAL SURE NOW BECAUSE OF THE DIFFICULT STEERING WITH THIS CAR. AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT THERE WAS NO AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. I HAD THE CAR REPAIRED BY A PRIVATE SHOP, THEY COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. WHILE MY CAR WAS THERE THEY LOOKED AT THE PAINT. I HAVE A BLACK CAR WITH LARGE WHITE SPOTS AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE CLEAR COAT AND IT WOULD COST AROUND 4,000 TO FIX IT. I AGAIN WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THIS TIME THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU BUY A BLACK CAR. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA AND WE ALL KNOW WHERE THAT HAS GOT ME. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE CONSUMER COMPLAINT AGENCY AND TOYOTA FAILED TO RESPOND. BOY, FOR A RELIABLE CARE THE ONLY THING I CAN RELY ON IS POOR QUALITY AND A DEATH TRAP. I HAVE A DODGE AND WILL DRIVE IT BEFORE THIS DEATH TRAP. GOOD LUCK TRYING TO DO A LANE CHANGE AND LOOKING INTO THE BLIND SP
