I totally agree with you, I have corrolla 2010 too, and still run perfectly up today, just changed brakes 1 time that it, and change oil regular, to me it the best car in the world.

How many miles?

[@chichidaniels2677]

what corolla is that?

[@syzygy4365]

I never missed an oil change, and the mechanic I took my car to said it has a collapsed engine valve. Personally I feel like that diagnosis is wrong. I'm wondering if she might have meant the PVC valve. Seems like a better match to me. Car shaking, lack of power, and engine stalling. Oh and misfiring! That or some other pressure issue. My usual mechanic is booked for 2 weeks and I'm scared to drive it with the stalling and power issues. Anyone on here feel like guessing? 😅

[@ManCaveStudio]

My 2013 Corolla has been rock solid. 160k miles so far. My last Corolla I sold to a friend and currently has 360k. He still drives it today. Other than doing the recommended maintenance I've had no issues but will keep an eye on these top 5 issues. Thanks for making this. My car is a 5 speed manual and none of these top 5 will leave me stranded. Even if my starter goes I can roll my car pop the clutch and start my car. If Toyota ever decides to stop making the manual versions of these cars I will be the first person in line to purchase the last manual and keep it as long as I can.

Overfilling the tank can also damage the evap system. Always stop filling up at the first click of the pump, trying to squeeze more gas into the tank may end up in the evap system instead.

Only other quirk is the mechanical trunk latch broke, but the smart key still opens it. She’s also bad in the snow, but aside from that she’s incredibly reliable. I’ve followed the routine maintenance guidelines, got NH oil undercoating figuring rust is one of few things that can kill a Corolla, and I’m hoping we have many more years together.

I have to throw my 2 cents in, having owned multiple Corollas in this year range. Intake Can Phaser loss of oil pressure. Toyota issued a TSB for this and it is a MAJOR part to replace involving removal of the timing chain. 1000$+ job. All 10th gens I've driven have had the Phaser grind on cold start-ups.

[@jmann3613]

Does the Phaser grind sound like the cold VVT rattle? It doesn’t always happen on start up, but does it NEED to be replaced if it happens?

[@addledhead]

The VVT-i gear on these models also has a known issue, there was a Technical Bulletin released. Basically the locking pin fails and so on a cold start when there's no oil pressure, the VVT will rattle and cause irregular valve timing. Sounds like a really rough cold start, but fine when driving/starting warm. If not taken care of will eventually rattle itself to death, potentially blowing the engine. Can be fixed without dropping the engine, but is still a quite involved, expensive fix. If doing it, you might as well look at replacing the timing chain and guides, and potentially the water pump too.

I have one of these Corollas and it has lived up to its reputation. It hasn't had any problems, it's efficient, and reasonably comfortable for everyday driving.

2011 Corolla, already had to loctite window regulator bolts, replace door lock actuators and the WORST problem not mentioned is phaser gear rattle on startup- that is a HUGE problem with 2009 to 2013 toyotas ( and even some american cars). Cheap fix for me was increasing the viscosity of the oil, it helped prevent it from leaking out of the phaser gear unless it was really hot out ( 80 degrees or more).

[@andrew001034]

thx man same 2011 i think same problem!!

[@MattySlimz]

Very common on the 09-10s. I would use thicker oil all the time to lessen this issue (not complete fix) but I live in the mid-Atlantic, it gets to cold in the winter. I do use thicker (10-30) in the summer and it DOES help the oil from draining out the top of the cam gear phasers. Though I’ve read for people the noise began around 40k-60k now at 220k still does it every start up and no issues, yes it sounds horrible but it seems to be just a noise you’ll have to learn to live with.

@@emmanuel3981 It’s colder than normal now where I live so I’m using 0-20. I switched to the factory oil filter from Toyota and the rattle isn’t as often at start up, duration and noise level decreased as well. The theory is that the Toyota filters do not have plastic or metal caps on the ends like other oil filter brands like Purolator, Mobil 1 have on them. Just get it if you haven’t already they’re great cars.

I have a 2010 Corolla with 125k on it. Transmission fluid is dark. It shifts fine though and doesn't leak. Should I change fluid? Will it last a lot longer than that? Any experience with this, Thanks for advice.

[@Redsfanatic32]

You should drop the pan, replace the filter, and then add new oil. Treat it as an oil change. Don’t flush it, just add what you lost.

[@stevendeitrich6933]

I have 229,000 on my 2009 . I dropped the pan & changed the filter & refilled with new fluid twice . Do not fall for that lifetime fluid BS ! But do not flush the system either .

[@tinytimm5697]

You better add the VVT cam gear assemblies, many have had to replace do to a loud rattle of death on a cold engine start. $1200 dollar if dealer repairs.

[@albertatundra]

That's extremely rare.

[@andersonrodriguez8258]

What about the issues with the Electronic Power Steering?

[@michaelkillebrew3114]

Mine draws power

[@michaelweiss7695]

Was wondering the same thing. Is this still an issue? Looking at one tomorrow!

[@GoaWay...]

@@michaelweiss7695 sooo, how did your looking go?🤔 You know, for the corollas.

[@GoaWay...]

That's funny. All if your names are Mike/michael. Haha 😸 And I see no one answered that question about the power steering.

[@stevendeitrich6933]

In the US there was a recall on that . My 2009 Corolla moves side to side just slightly in the lane . I was told by my local dealer I did not get there in time for the recall . I did not push the issue .

[@teemontevirgen4829]

I have 2012 corolla 1.8 and the problems I have is it shakes when I brake. It makes a clicking noise when i make a u turn. It just started making a rattle noise where the pulleys are however the pulleys are intact and not the ones making the noise. Can you diagnose that just by my explanations?

[@carlitoseuceda2000]

Sounds like brake rotors and cv axles

[@kcee7841]

Water pump, cv axle and quit racing around so hard on the poor car.

[@azaz911c]

Shaking when braking may be warped front disc rotors or worn rear brake drums. If they aren't too worn, the rotors or drums can be machined for smoothness. If they are too worn, they can be replaced. The clicking noise when turning, is likely a worn CV joint. This can be fixed with by replacing with a new CV axle. I recommend replacing both sides and choosing an original Toyota or high quality replacement part. Lower quality ones don't last and lead to other problems like vibrations. None of these parts is too expensive, but there is some labor cost involved. I'm not sure about the pulley noise. You may want to start with a simple visual check that your accessory belt is not frayed or cracked and has good tension. As someone else suggested it might be a water pump. Or it could be a worn pulley bearing.

[@boolin01]

Well basically if your car shaking when u brake that means you need to change your rotors and if it does makes noises you brake pads needs to be replaced Don’t freak out very small problem and low cost!

[@realestateinfonet9041]

Great video! Thanks!

[@deweycheatem1474]

The water pump and alternator should be up on this list ! With the starter going bad had all three replaced early in it's life for a Toyota. Would expect this from an American made car, but sorely disappointed in a Toyota product and Denso for these failures. After all this is why we pay premium prices to purchase Toyota products.

What is the best years for Corolla? Looking at a 2012

[@silvernoob1603]

they are all good years

[@timothyfeezor1567]

Anywhere between 2009-2013. They are amazing cars.

[@sadboyneddy4215]

I'm happy with my 12 accent s manual

[@gumerdominguez4091]

My 2009 has 1/2 millón Mille with regular maintenance , no even the air conditioning just tires belts and breaks

[@riknrolll]

I've had to replace the front struts, which is no big deal. What I now can't help but wondering about is the VVTI rattle while starting the car. I've wondered if it needs to be replaced or not. If yes, then when? Otherwise my Corolla runs great!

[@zack3ry01iver6]

"There's nothing wrong with this vehicle" 2 mins in I already see a valve cover covered in oil and mold on hoses

[@MarioSays713]

My Evap canister failed I believe. So yeah looks like you nailed it

[@mikep509]

Corrosion ... both front fenders get gunk trapped behind them near the wheel well behind those foam backing pieces... stuff sits there and holds moisture, eventually mine rotted out from the inside out...also make sure your doors drain correctly and hit them with some kind of rust proofing.... I've seen many doors that rust from the inside out where the seam seals are.... i have a 2009 corrolla 150k km on it, but it's getting close to the end due to corrosion

[@walleyehunter8862]

I've had my 2009 Corolla for over 5 years and my problems were front struts and cam phaser and the steering wheel is to the left .. But still not a bad car

[@MrSweetguyjeff]

Will a bad throttle body cause the cruise control to not turn on? The light doesn't come on the dash and it won't set. Changed the switch, spiral cable is good,fuses good Changed brake pedal switch. Can't think of anything else that works cause this issue

[@mohamadqraqra4053]

Great car I haven't seen any problems with it, gust change oil regularly.

[@Michael-ys5cn]

Bought a 2010 Corolla S with 95,000 just did transmission service ...it was filthy filter was black. Looks like it and fluid was never changed but it shifts so smooth. Everyone! Replace your trans fluid and filter right away! Never do a flush

[@Michael-ys5cn]

I'm going to do another drain and fill next oil change

[@subnodes]

2010 Corolla Sedan, only issue is my alternator went out after parasitic power drain you might need to upgrade your alternator depending on if you want to run a sub like me and how many watts you plan on running but I am running 1200 RMS and currently I haven't had any issues with my new stock alternator

[@armen1136]

I had my alternator die at 60k miles and I feel excessive engine vibration in the car when stop at a red light. I changed the throttle body and the spark plugs, still has this issue. It happens when the car is idling at around 600 rpm. Not sure what the issue is, no codes pop up, Even my mechanic doesn't know what the issue is. The weird part is when I turn on the headlights it goes away.

[@1AAuto]

+Armen Avakyan Thanks for the feedback!

[@diegotorres6235]

Yo mine does the same not sure what it could be I get to a stop it shakes a bit then goes back to normal and I noticed it happens Also when you are still and you turn the steering wheel slowly

[@davidg5704]

Yes and when I put it in neutral it stops vibrating. All motor mounts replaced. Plugs new , coils checked no codes.
