Toyota Corolla - 2007 — 

I love my Toyota.  First foreign car I owned.  I bought it pre-owned in jan 08 with 23,000 miles.  i drive a lot back and forth to STL so I aleady burned up my manufactures warranty.  I didn't buy the extended warrranty because I have never used them in the past and wasted a lot of money.  And this is a Toyota , right?  Well on April 9th 2 days before I started my 600 mile journey to the Smoky Mountains I got right in my car like usual after work and tried to start the car.  Nothing after several attempts.  I gave it some gas and it started but the check engine light was on.  Not good.  It was too late in the evening to have it looked at so I had to take my chances and try to drive it home 30 miles away.  It actually made it but through the evening I was trying a couple things and it kept getting worse.  Symptoms were like the fuel pump or fuel line was the problem.  I had to make arrangements with work for the next day and got it into a local shop.  The shop I took it to was very honest and didn't charge me a thing because the computer went out on the car and he couldn't run a diagnosis on it.  He also informed me that he thinks my problem should be covered under the power train warranty.  WHO HOO!  maybe.but I didn't give up hope.  However I couldn't even drive it at that point and the dealership was 40 miles away.  GRRR!  So now i have to tow it.  No problem car insurance will cover it.  But it cost $120 bucks and they ony pay half.  The dealership couldn't look at it that day and wouldn't give me a loaner or pay for my rental or tow.  If this under warranty why not?  especially if there is a bulletin/recall.  I never got a letter informing me about this either.  I will NEVER buy a car from this dealership.
