Toyota Corolla electrical problems

MOST IMPORTANT: WE DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR NOW. UNABLE TO GET ANSWERS TO POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS. CALLED TOYOTA THEY SAID THEY CANNOT ASSIST IF THE PROBLEM IS NOT HAPPENING WHEN THEY GET THE CAR. THIS PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AT BEST. I ASKED IF THEY HAD PROBLEMS SUCH AS MINE BELOW AND CAN GIVE ME SOME IDEA AND THEY SAID THEY CANNOT ASSIST ME WITHOUT HAVING THE PROBLEM OCCUR WHILE THEY HAVE THE CAR. WE CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR FOR IT MAY SHUT DOWN ON US. LATEST PROBLEM: THE VEHICLES ENGINE SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH. TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND EVERYTHING COMES ON AS IF IT WAS GOING TO START UP (MEANING: THE PROBLEM IS NOT BATTERY), BUT WOULD NOT CRANK OVER, NO NOISE, NOTHING. AFTER PLAYING WITH THE FUSES, AND WAITING A BIT THE CAR WAS ABLE TO CRANK OVER AND START. A WEEK BEFORE THE LATEST (ABOVE): THE CAR WAS IN PARK AND RUNNING, THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN, TRIED STARTING THE CAR AND SAME SCENARIO AS ABOVE, WE LET THE CAR REST OVERNIGHT AND THE NEXT MORNING IT STARTED UP. (WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO THE CAR). YEARS AGO: THE SAME THING AS ABOVE EXCEPT, I WENT TO GO USE THE CAR, IT WOULD NOT START, HAD NOISE AND LIGHTS BUT NO CRANKING OF ENGINE, NOTHING (SAME SCENARIO AS ABOVE). BUT, AFTER LETTING TIME GO BY THE CAR WOULD START. (I CHANGED THE KEY TO A BACKUP KEY I HAD AND IT STARTED UP.) OTHERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM AS WE HAVE TRIED TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, WE CAME ACROSS THE SAME SCENARIOS BUT NO SOLUTION. *TR

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY 605 FREEWAY IN CALIFORNIA ON DECEMBER 24,2014 AT 10: AM . I WAS DRIVING 60MPH AND SUDDENLY FELT A VERY STRONG SHAKE IN MY CAR THAT CONTINUED FOR ABOUT TWO MINUTES AND THEN I SUDDENLY WENT FROM 60MPH TO 15 MPH . I WAS REALLY SCARED AND CONCERNED ABOUT THIS MATTER. IF I DIDN'T HAVE CONTROL I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN CARS BEHIND ME OR MYSELF IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS MALFUNCTION. I WAS VERY SHAKEN UP AND STRESSED. I HAVE NEVER BEEN THIS SCARED IN MY VEHICLE. I DROVE MY CAR IN SEARCH FOR AN OPEN MECHANIC AND FOUND ONE HE DID A FULL INSPECTION WHICH WAS VERY STRESSFUL DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT WAS A CHRISTMAS EVE . I REALLY HAVE BEEN A LOYAL CUSTOMER TO TOYOTA MY WHOLE FAMILY AND I REALLY WOULD LIKE THIS TO GET TAKEN CARE OF. I DON'T SEE THE NEED FOR ME TO SPEND MORE MONEY WHEN ITS A TOYOTA PROBLEM.

MY SON RECEIVED HIS CAR TODAY THAT WAS SHIPPED TO HIM FROM MAUI TO PORTSMOUTH,VA. AS HE WAS DRIVING BACK TO BASE HIS PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR FELL OFF. THE INSIDE WAS MELTED. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE MIRROR. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD. I CONTACTED TOYOTA VIA EMAIL ABOUT THE INCIDENT. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW AND HAS ONLY HAD ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. THERE IS EITHER A FAULTY CONNECTION OR FAULTY PART THAT CAUSED THIS. I NOW WORRY THAT THE CAR MAY CATCH FIRE. *TR

VEHICLE STALLS. AFTER PUTTING VEHICLE IN REVERSE AND BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPOT, VEHICLE STALLED. AFTER RESTARTING AND PULLING BACK INTO PARKING SPOT VEHICLE STALLED. I SHUT CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IN PARK AND AFTER 5 SECONDS VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED AND RENTAL CAR WAS NECESSARY TO GET HOME. TOYOTA REP SAID THAT IT WAS THE COMPUTER. EITHER HAD TO BE UPDATED OR REBOOTED (DTC P2645 AND OR P265B WERE DOCUMENTED AS THE CAUSE). *TR

VEHICLE DOORS WOULD NOT UNLOCK AFTER PUMPING GAS AT STATION. VEHICLE WAS NOT STARTED AT THE TIME AND KEYS WERE IN CAR (KEY-LESS SYSTEM WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK DOORS WHEN KEYS ARE IN VEHICLE). AFTER ATTEMPTING TO OPEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WITHOUT SUCCESS, THE PASSENGER DOOR DID THE SAME. AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF WAITING THE PASSENGER DOOR FINALLY UNLOCKED. THE VEHICLE STARTED HOWEVER, THERE WAS A SMELL OF GASOLINE COMING FROM THE VENTS. THE AIR CONDITIONER ALSO STOPPED WORKING. WHEN THE BUTTON FOR VENTING OUTSIDE/INSIDE WAS SWITCH TO OUTSIDE AIR, THE GASOLINE SMELL DISSIPATED. WHEN I PRESSED INSIDE AIR THE STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE OCCURRED AGAIN. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES, THE AIR CONDITIONER BEGAN TO WORK AND SHORTLY THERE AFTER THE SMELL OF GASOLINE RESOLVED. AFTER A FEW HOURS THE HEADACHE FROM GASOLINE INHALATION WENT AWAY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DECELERATED TO APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH. THE FAILURE CORRECTED INDEPENDENTLY AND THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT, THE VCS AND CHECK ENGINE SENSOR LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

WHILE TRAVELING NW ON HWY 99 THROUGH MERCED CA AT 08:30 AM NOV. 9, 2014, I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN ACCELERATION OF MY CAR WHILE IN CRUISE MODE GOING UP THE RAMP JUST AT THE NW EDGE OF MERCED. IT CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE TILL THE RPM GAUGE WAS INTO THE RED. AT THE SAME TIME, I WAS VERY TENSE, MANEUVERING IN TRAFFIC WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES IN AN EFFORT TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP, WHICH HEATED UP UNTIL THEY WERE BARELY WORKING. I SHUT THE MOTOR OFF WHILE IN DRIVE AND TURNED IT BACK ON A FEW TIMES AND EACH TIME THE ENGINE WENT RIGHT INTO HIGH REV MODE AGAIN. I FINALLY PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO N AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ABOUT A MILE OR SO FROM WHERE THE PROBLEM STARTED, REGAINED MY COMPOSURE AND ALLOWED THE CAR TO SIT A FEW MINUTES. I TRIED THE ENGINE STARTER AND THINGS SEEMED NORMAL AGAIN SO I CAUTIOUSLY EXITED THE HIGHWAY ABOUT A 1/4 MILE FROM WHERE I HAD STOPPED. THINGS CONTINUED TO ACT NORMALLY SO I CAME BACK HOME 18 MILES AND HAD NO MORE PROBLEMS. WHAT DO I DO WITH THIS CAR? KEEP DRIVING IT THIS WAY? TAKE IT BACK TO TOYOTA? THEY DID THE RECALL REPAIR FOR THIS PROBLEM ALREADY, YET NOW THIS!! VERY TROUBLING! *TR
