| On 5/30/07 i picked up a 2007 toyota corolla ce..at the time of the test drive i did not notice this safety issue & perhaps it was due to the distraction of the sales person's constant talking.. since i am short i need to move the seat up forward to be comfortable when driving & to be able to see clearly, but once i move the seat forward & tilt the steering wheel so that i can drive comfortably & safely i cannot see all of the speedometer readings.. on the left i can see 0-20 mph & on the right i can see 90-110 mph anything in between is not at eye level & i cannot see the speedometer readings.. when i drive in order to see my speed i need to take my eyes off the road look down & under the top part of the steering wheel.. obviously this is extremely dangerous when doing 70 mph on a parkway which i needed to do & i consider it to be a safety issue with this toyota.. i cannot believe that toyota actually put this out on the market. how did this vehicle pass safety tests ? also, on this exact same vehicle i have filed a complaint on the tires odi # 10200011 which i am still having a serious safety problem with.. has toyota sacrificed consumer safety for production & income ? this is not my first new car but it has become a horrific experience for me and i am afraid that these vehicle problems will become my statistic.. communications with toyota have been unsuccessful.. *tr | |||

| I bought this 2007 corolla le in july 2008. soon we found that when the car reached the speed of 70 mph or over, there was some high-pitched noise coming from the front window. since this happened a lot, we brought our car to the dealer in early 2008. the dealer replaced the windshield seal. the noise stopped for some time. then now it comes back again if we drive it around 75 mph or over. i did some google search. i found quite a few other people with the same model/year has the same problem. also i have been told by my dealer (billpage, falls church, va) that they were aware of this problem since several clients reported it and brought their cars to the dealer. *tr | |||
