Corolla / Matrix 2009-13 :: Toyota Will Turn Over But Won't Start

My 2009 Toyota Matrix will turn over but wont start. I cant figure out what is causing this. So far I have replaced the battery ( Just in case ) I checked the spark plugs , they are good , If I try and start it a couple of times I can sometimes get it to start but its really rough sounding and dies instantly even if I give it gas. I also hear the fuel pump engaging so I don't think that is it. I put 5 gallons of premium gas in the tank just to make sure she didn't get some bad gas since she was almost on empty. I am lost at what to do now.

I just went over 60k miles so no warranty anymore.

Corolla / Matrix 2009-13 :: The Blower Won't Turn Off

I recently started having a problem with the air conditioning on my Axio. For some reason the blower refuses to turn off, even if the car is off. If i put on the A/C it blows at the highest speed, even if i try to low down the fan and its getting pretty annoying now!!

Corolla / Matrix 2009-13 :: Thumping Sound On Sharp Right Turn

Took my 2010 Corolla in to have it looked at since it has recently developed a clicking/thumping sound when I make a sharp right turn (it's intermittent, but frequent enough to be noticed).

The shop I took it to said the source of the noise was the CV axle, but that after inspection, they didn't see anything really wrong with it, so they recommended simply putting up with the noise to save money, and to keep an eye on it and replace it if/when it actually begins showing signs of significant wear.

Corolla / Matrix 2009-13 :: Door Open Indicator Will Intermittently Turn On And Off

I have a 2009 Toyota Corolla, and the door open indicator will intermittently turn on and off. I isolated the problem to the trunk, and unplugged the trunk latch assembly so that the trunk dome light doesn't drain my battery. Before I unplugged it, my key fob could open the trunk remotely. I can still manually open my trunk using a key or the lever next to the drivers seat. Is there something on the latch assembly that I can check if it's triggering?

Corolla / Matrix 2009-13 :: Clicking Noise When Take A Turn Only In Extreme Cold Temperature

Lately it's been -20 degrees (Celsius) here in Quebec, and when i start driving the car, as soon as i take a turn, i hear a clicking noise coming from the center part of my front, it doesn't sound like it's coming from my wheels at all. It doesn't matter if i turn left or right. The noise goes away after driving for 1 minute.

I took it to the dealer, but of course, they couldn't hear it because the car was warmed up, so I'm thinking of leaving it over night? I read that Civics and Corollas have thick Diff oil that cause this?

Corolla / Matrix 2009-13 :: Rattling On Start Up Like It Isn't Getting Oil

Quick search found this post asking about changing the ECU, so it sounds like I'm not the only person to have heard this.

I've had my '09 Corolla for almost exactly 1 year and I've put 22k miles on it. All oil changes with Toyota elements and conventional oil at 1k miles and Mobil 1 5W-20 at 5, 10, 15, and 20k.

It's rattling like it isn't getting oil at start-up... intermittently. Sometimes it starts up just fine and others it rattles like it doesn't have oil for the first second or two. What's going on here?

I'm about ready to take it in to the dealer for an assessment, but with it being intermittent and all, I'm not expecting to be well-received. I know if I was looking at this as a used car and I heard what I've been hearing, I'd run.

Corolla / Matrix 2009-13 :: Cranked But Would Not Start

Went to start the wife's car this afternoon and it wouldn't turn over. Battery was fine and it cranked but would no start. I pulled one of the plugs to check for spark and i had spark on that plug.

It pretty much turned over when I told the wife to turn the key. I put the plug back in and it started right up. So what the heck was the deal here. I drove it around the block, restarted a couple times and all seems fine.

Same gas that was in there for the last several days. Was a little colder this morning than it has been but nothing extreme. The car was last driven 2 days ago, so it isn't like it sat for a long period. Maybe some water in the gas made its way into the lines and finally reared its ugly head?

From my research, the fuel filter appears to be part of the fuel pump and isn't normally serviced. What it could have been and what to check if and when this happens again? The local Autozone will rent me a fuel pressure tester but unless it happens again, I don't think its worth renting it now that its running again.

Corolla / Matrix 2009-13 :: Seat / Console Squeaks - Low Pinging Noise When Turn Steering

I am a two Corolla owner. I have a 2004 with 205, 000 kms and a 2010 with 70,000 kms. By far, my favourite car to drive is the 2004. The build quality is by far better. I could list other issues or pt peeves of mine about the 2010.

My 2010 is giving me some issues.

For starters my seat and console squeak like crazy. About 10, 000 kms ago I had the dealer try to deal with it under a TBS.

The next issue I have is that when I turn my steering wheel I hear a low pinging noise!

Lastly, in my trunk that plastic pieces that hold the trunk latch cable to the trunk arm have broken.

As for those plastic pieces in the trunk, what the part numbers might be?

Corolla / Matrix 2009-13 :: TSB - Grinding Noise On Start Up

I have a 2009 Corolla with 67k on the odometer so it is outside of warranty. I recently found about the TSB for the grinding noise on start up and took the car to my mechanic to have it looked at. He said he wasn't able to do the job because he would have to do some sort of computer update (ECU reflash?) and he doesn't have the means.

My car is currently at the dealership, and they want around 1800 dollars, 1400 for the VVTI gear, and another 400 for a tensioner. I have a friend who used to be a Toyota mechanic, and he says he can do the work as stated in the TSB, but he's unsure if the ECU would need updating, and it does not mention anything in the TSB. So what I am wondering is if :

1. Does changing the VVTI gear actually fix the grinding noise? I was reading an old thread where members said it was still there after having the TSB done.

2. Does there need to be anything done to the ECU after doing the TSB?

The key was left in a 2009 Corolla which ran the battery down. The battery was replaced because of age. New battery worked fine for four days. Then the car wouldn't start. Completely dead.

Corolla / Matrix 2009-13 :: Audible Rubbing Noise Coming From Column When Turn Steering Wheel

I just got a 2013 Corolla Saturday (manual transmission). So far, I love the car, but I think I'm having a problem with the steering column. When I turn the steering wheel in a parked position, I can hear an audible "rubbing" noise coming from the column. I called the dealership, and spoke not only to the service department, but also to my salesman, who has one too. He says he's never heard that, and the service department assures me it's normal and is because it's an electric motor now instead of a fluid power steering system.

So, do I have reason to be concerned? Experienced this after only 300 or so miles on a new car? We traded a Scion IQ for this Corolla (didn't like the CVT whine in the IQ), and never heard anything like this.

Corolla / Matrix 2009-13 :: Engine Cranks But Doesn't Start?

I have a 2009 Corolla 1.8L. It turns over but won't start. I don't hear the fuel pump when I turn the key on or when I try to start it. There are 3 EFI fuses, and all of them are good. There doesn't seem to be an EFI relay (correct me if I'm wrong). I've replaced the fuel pump and it still won't start.
