CarComplaints.com Notes: Beware of the NHTSA complaint data for the 2007 Corolla. It is almost certainly misleading.
The problem with NHTSA data for the 2007 Corolla is that for months on end, the news media repeatedly told the public that several Toyota models have an unintended acceleration defect, & to go to safercar.gov (the NHTSA's website) to file a complaint.
So, the NHTSA received a disproportionate number of complaints about Toyota unintended acceleration issues because of the national news media attention, to the point where now the NHTSA data is unreliable taken in context with any other vehicle that did not receive national news attention.
CarComplaints.com typically receives more complaints per day about vehicles than the NHTSA does, but the news media did not repeatedly say "go to CarComplaints.com to report your Toyota acceleration problems" like they did about the NHTSA -- so although we have less complaint data than the NHTSA for the 2007 Corolla, our data for the Corolla is a far more statistically accurate representation of the Corolla's reliability than what the NHTSA data shows.
Toyota is one of the worst cars. Most components used are of inferior quality. First problem is the headlight glasses, which become dull and opaque after a couple of years. I had bought a brand new corolla 2007, but in a few years, the headlight glasses became dull, yellow, not fully transparent, thereby obstructing the light from the lamps. The appearance of the headlights also became poor, as if the car was centuries old.
But Toyota manufacturer doesn't care to look at its cars used just for a few years, how shameful they look because of this, compared to other makes.
