1994 Toyota Corolla Structure

THIS CAR HAS ABOUT 75,000 MILES ON IT AND RESIDES IN FL. ABOUT 4 YRS. AGO THE DRIVERS SIDE HANDLE TO OPEN THE CAR STARTING TO ACTUALLY FALL APART. I HAD THAT ONE REPLACED BUT THE OTHERS ARE DOING THE SAME THING NOW. I NEVER KNEW THIS TO HAPPEN ON A CAR, REGARDLESS OF AGE. A NEIGHBOR OF MINE DOWN THERE ALSO SAID THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO HER CAR, ALSO THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR. I AM ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE AIRBAGS IN THIS CAR, AS I KEEP IT IN FLORIDA FOR USE WHEN I GO DOWN ABOUT FOUR MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR. *TR

THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE EXAMINED DOZENS OF WHITE 1994 COROLLAS IDENTICAL TO MINE: THEY ALL HAVE MAJOR PAINT DEFECTS ON BOTH SIDES OF THEIR FRONT HOODS. I AM A PHYSICIST. THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT. (MY COROLLA WAS MADE IN CANADA.) IT AFFECTS ALL CARS MADE IN THE SAME YEAR AT THE SAME PLANT. TOYOTA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS DEFECT AS THEIR FAULT. THE FAULT DOES NOT SHOW UP UNTIL _AFTER_ WARRANTIES HAVE RUN OUT - SO I CANNOT BE REPORTED UNDER THE WARRANTY. *AK
