| Description of the problem | This car has visited at the dealer's service station for almost a total of 3 weeks combined since i bought it april 2000. Gas leaked when putting gas in tank and the car smelled of gas on the inside. The tank was supposedly replaced but just recently started leaking again. The check engine light has been on a total of 3 times. Plus the right front and rear wheels make noise. I just want the car fixed because corolla's are good cars but the constant visits to the dealership for one thing or another is really starting to annoy me and has become a huge inconvenience. *ak |
