2017 Toyota Corolla iM Tire Information

Apart from finding the right tire size, there are a couple of other factors to consider when buying Toyota Corolla iM tires like how and where you drive, and how much you want to spend. When evaluating your driving conditions, think about where you live (countryside vs. city vs. mountains) and the kind of unexpected weather you're likely to experience. Many drivers who live in states that experience all four seasons choose to purchase two sets of tires: one for summer and one for winter. Other drivers buy one set of all-season tires instead. That way they don't have to return to the tire shop and their vehicle is always ready for sun, rain, and light snow!

Driving style is next on the list to think about when buying tires. If you're an avid off-roader who yearns to pioneer new paths, you have very different tire needs than a highway commuter who doesn't hit the hills very often. Visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you, or get started by browsing tires that fit your Toyota Corolla iM.

However, parts of your brake system can wear out over time or become damaged, which can lead to a brake fluid leak.

2017 Toyota Corolla iM Engine Q&A

  • Why does my Corolla iM’s check engine light come on when I start it? Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. It’s just your Corolla iM firing up its circuits. The light should turn off in a bit, but come see us if it doesn't.

A high-pitched whistle could signal an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.

  • Will a temporary sealant fix my Toyota's flat tire? A temporary sealant may be able to help you get to a repair location safely. But temporary or emergency sealants could possibly damage TPMS sensors, and in some cases may even void the warranty on your Bridgestone or Firestone tires. If your tire needs extensive repair, sealant can add time and labor costs to the process.

  • What is the white, crusty stuff around my Corolla iM’s battery post?  If you notice white, crusty stuff around the battery terminals of your Corolla iM, it's likely corrosion.

2017 Toyota Corolla iM Oil Change Questions

  • Why is the oil light on in my Toyota Corolla iM?  If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Toyota Corolla iM oil change reminder light.

  • Can I change my Toyota Corolla iM oil at home?  Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.

Questions About 2017 Toyota Corolla iM Engine Tune-Ups

  • When should Toyota Corolla iM spark plugs be replaced?  Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Without the spark of electricity created by spark plugs, your engine doesn’t have the combustion it needs to start — which could leave you stranded on the road. Always replace your spark plugs on time based on Toyota’s recommendations.
  • What should I do if I see leaks under my Corolla iM? Puddles could indicate an oil leak, coolant leak, or brake fluid leak– all of which can critically hurt your engine. Have your engine inspected as soon as you spot a pool of liquid in your usual parking spot.
  • How frequently do the fuel injectors in my Toyota Corolla iM need to be cleaned? The cleaning schedule for vehicle fuel injectors varies depending on your driving conditions and the type of fuel you use. Some manufacturers suggest cleaning your fuel system as part of routine maintenance, while others will recommend it on an as-needed basis if you’re experiencing poor performance. Reference your Toyota owner’s manual for exact guidelines.

Suspension Service & Repair for 2017 Toyota Corolla iM

During the first few years you had your 2017 Toyota Corolla iM, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Corolla iM feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2017 Toyota Corolla iM, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission.

2017 Corolla iM Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Why does my Toyota Corolla iM bounce so much?  Excessive bouncing in your Toyota Corolla iM might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my Corolla iM to dip forward when I apply the brakes?  The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Corolla iM's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Corolla iM's steering and suspension?  Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.

2017 Toyota Corolla iM A/C Service Near You

Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your 2017 Toyota Corolla iM A/C problems. During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2017 Toyota Corolla iM’s A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a leak test.

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2017 Toyota Corolla iM, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the A/C system. Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Toyota guidelines. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant.

Frequently Asked Questions for 2017 Toyota Corolla iM A/C Systems

  • What’s making my Corolla iM A/C put out warm air? Maybe your A/C starts cool but then gets warm. Or maybe it never gets cold in the first place. Either way, your A/C troubles could be traced back to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak.
  • What can cause an A/C system leak?  Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Corolla iM’s A/C system naturally degrade. Moisture can get into the system and cause a malfunction, or parts can simply wear out so that your system no longer seals properly.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Corolla iM’s A/C to work?  A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your Corolla iM is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.

Questions About 2017 Toyota Corolla iM’s Transmission

  • When should I have my Corolla iM's transmission fluid checked or exchanged?  Caring for your Toyota Corolla iM’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Toyota, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my Toyota Corolla iM leak transmission fluid?  Yes. Toyota Corolla iM transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
  • Is it okay to drive a Corolla iM with a transmission fluid leak?  Driving your Corolla iM with a transmission fluid leak is highly discouraged. Transmission fluid is vital to the smooth operation of your transmission system, and a leak can put the entire system at risk. A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.

2017 Toyota Corolla iM Radiator Q&A

  • What does the coolant light on my Toyota dashboard mean?  Pay attention to the temperature gauge and lights on your dashboard. If a low coolant warning light comes on or your dashboard temperature gauge keeps rising, it’s likely that your engine is about to overheat (and could leave you stranded on the road). Wait for the engine to cool down, then have your coolant system checked immediately at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care.
  • What can cause my Corolla iM to overheat?  Low coolant, a damaged cooling fan, a faulty water pump, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a clogged radiator could all cause your Toyota Corolla iM engine to overheat.
  • Why does the radiator in my Corolla iM sound like it’s rumbling or boiling? There could be air pockets in your Corolla iM’s cooling system. You might also have a clogged radiator or faulty radiator cap (this last one is an easy fix!).
