Looking for more advice for 2011 Corolla. I literally just posted in here a couple hours ago about another issue the car is experiencing upon fixing this one and now back to square one! We are having an issue where the battery light comes on and then drains the battery instantly.
Yesterday we were waiting to pick our daughter up from school. We decided to leave the pick up line and park in the parking lot. When we were moving out of the line the car battery light popped on and the steering was hard to steer. We made it to the parking lot, turned the car off and it didn't start back up. We had the car towed which I posted about on another post because that's a whole new issue.
Here is what my husband has ruled out/checked...

• the belt is fine
• crank shaft pulley is fine
• terminals/connectors all checked, tightened and cleaned up

took the battery and alternator to oreillys and autozone-both passed as good. We are just in a financial bind and that all the testing we could have done professionally. trying to figure this out on our own as my husband has always done any work needed on the car.

probably just going to need to find a mechanic

Any advice- we had my daughters 2011 Toyota Corolla LE towed yesterday. That issue is now fixed but after being towed the ABS light is on and the car is now locked in park. We bought the ca brand new in 2011 and this light has never been on before.
The tow truck guy acted like the car was a rag doll movin it around 😭
Any advice on troubleshooting at home? My husband does majority of the work on the car he just doesn’t use the internet so I thought I’d come in here and ask!

I’ve been insured with State Farm since I was 16, 35 years. My 16 year old gets her license today so I’ve started shopping around for another provider. This is the first time I’ll be selecting and setting up an insurance policy entirely on my own, so I’m hoping to get some advice. I'm just nervous as I want to make sure I pick the best liability/uninsured motorist bodily injury coverage especially since I am out of work. Just want to make sure all my bases are covered.

We’re located in Texas and both drive older, paid-off vehicles: mine is a 2010 Toyota 4Runner, and my daughter’s is a 2011 Toyota Corolla. At this point, I’m leaning toward Progressive, but I’m trying to decide between their “Choice” and “Recommended” packages, as well as how to approach the various coverage options.

I would really appreciate any guidance on appropriate coverage limits, useful add-ons, or anything else I should be considering. Up to now, I’ve carried full coverage on my 4Runner, but navigating all of this on my own for the first time is a bit overwhelming.

Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
