The contact owns a 2003 Toyota Corolla ce. The contact stated that the lenses on the exterior lighting have become opaque, which makes it difficult for him to drive in the dark. The opacity of the lens interferes with the light. The dealer claimed that the failure was no longer under warranty. The VIN and mileages were unknown. Updated 3/11/09 updated 03/13/09.

I bought a 2003 Toyota Corolla from a certified car dealership, and was sold a car that was involved in a major accident and was not reported. The whole front of the car has none of the original parts to the car which depreciated the value of the car, but it was still sold to me as slightly used in great condition, low mileage and suppose to have never been in an any accidents, I also found out the this car did not pass inspection at the time of purchase, I had to bring the car back to the dealership numerous times starting five days after I bought it. I tried giving the car back and they said that there is nothing that they could do because the contract is already signed, and because of the extensive damages to the car they will only give $6,000 for the car when in fact they sold it to me for over $15,000.

The headlights on my 2003 Toyota Corolla are unsafe on the dim setting. The high beams are great, but I cannot see at night. There has to be some correction to my lights before I run into something and maybe hurt someone or myself. What can I do. The dealership and the complaint dept. Told me they have had many, many complaints about this. Before something terrible happens, please have this corrected.
