Soo... I've been having trouble with my key fob to the point where if I lock or unlock either the passenger door or driver side dosent lock or unlock. Went to Toyota. They said they can fix it but with a whopping tottal cost of $1,150 Passenger side costs $342.85
And driver side $366.26. Has anyone been having this issue ? I think on just changing the battery on the key fob it self. Any suggestions?

Have you checked your radio settings?

I just did that. Butttt. I haven't moved those settings ..they seem to be normal.

I have been having these problems for a while now, changed my fob battery and no luck, it used to be every so often but now my rear driver and my front passenger hardly ever work, most annoying thing in the world honestly. Only ones that always work are rear passenger and drivers door

 

[Chris Denton]

How about disconnecting the battery for 10-15 minutes?

Ive personally tried it and no luck

So our Corolla’s will run forever, but no radio, no power locks, no power windows, AC problems, etc. lol

I’m told that the grind noise is normal?
Our Highlander (2008) has done that since around 36k. The starter continues to run, once the car has started.
We have 103k now, and it’s never caused a problem. My Corolla hasn’t done this yet but I have less than 16k on it.

The grind noise that everyone hears at startup is most likely the VVT. It's always been an abnormality with these engines and in the 2009 and 2010 Corolla's, Toyota addressed the sound a little bit because it would grind a lot louder like in the video Chris linked. Some people say that a certain oil type lowers the noise a bit and some say it occurs at a certain temperature. Either way, it shouldn't decrease the life of your engine.
