Toyota Corolla electrical problems

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 3 MPH PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO THE BREAK PEDAL AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE GAS CAP, THE TRANSMISSION AND AN UNKNOWN CHARCOAL CANISTER WERE REPLACED. APPROXIMATELY ONE WEEK LATER THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO INTERMITTENTLY STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED. APPROXIMATELY A WEEK AND A HALF LATER THE VEHICLE AGAIN BEGAN TO STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY INFORMED HER THEY BELIEVE THE AMPLIFIER WAS DRAINING POWER FROM THE BATTERY WHICH MAY BE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES. THE AMPLIFIER WAS REMOVED BY THE AUTHORIZED DEALER. UPON RECEIVING THE VEHICLE IT CONTINUED TO INTERMITTENTLY STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE AUTHORIZED DEALER BUT SHE WAS UNSURE IF THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURES CONTINUE TO RECUR INTERMITTENTLY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,816 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 71,955.

I WAS DRIVING 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY IN MY 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA (MANUAL TRANSMISSION, 40,331 ON THE ODOMETER) WHEN I LOST ALL ACCELERATION. THE CAR'S ENGINE DID NOT STOP BUT THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP CAME ON AND SIMULTANEOUSLY I LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER ACROSS THREE LANES TO THE SHOULDER; WHEN I FINALLY TRIED TO BRAKE, I HAD NO POWER AND HAD TO PUSH THE BRAKES TO THE FLOOR; WHEN I DID THIS THE CAR SHUDDERED. THE TOYOTA DEALER REPAIRED THIS BY REPLACING THE ECU (ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT/COMPUTER), CODE 0607 AT NO CHARGE TO ME. THE PART IS INCLUDED IN THE 8YEAR/80,000 MILE FEDERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY. ACCORDING TO WHAT I'VE READ ABOUT THIS ISSUE, GLEANED FROM THE NHTSA DATABASE, MANY OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM BUT TOYOTA HAS NOT RECALLED THIS DEFECTIVE PART. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND I URGE TOYOTA TO RECONSIDER ITS POSITION. *TR

MY 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA WITH APPROXIMATELY 68,000 MILES IS SUDDENLY HAVING HARSH TO VIOLENT TRANSMISSION SHIFTS AFTER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD A SHOP IDENTIFY OR DIAGNOSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CODE. THEY SAID IT WAS CODE P2716. I CONDUCTED AN INTERNET INVESTIGATION AND DISCOVERED SEVERAL PEOPLE ALSO EXPERIENCING IDENTICAL ISSUES. ALSO, THE SAME INVESTIGATION REVEALED TOYOTA WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND RELEASED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN. TO ME, THE PROBLEM IS NOT AN ISSUE OF WEAR AND TEAR. INSTEAD, IT'S CLEAR THERE'S A DEFECT IN A PART OF THE CAR WHICH CAN POTENTIALLY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. *TR

MY 07 TOYOTA COROLLA S STARTED STALLING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR STARTED AND WAS FINE. THE NEXT DAY THE SAME THING HAPPENED. WHEN I WENT TO START THE CAR AGAIN STALLED. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY FIT ME RIGHT IN EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE BUSY, WHICH I APPRECIATED VERY MUCH. THIS ALL HAPPENED AT APPROXIMATELY 62,000 MILES. LUCKILY THE CAR WAS STILL COVERED UNDER 8 YR/80000 MILES WARRANTY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY TOYOTA COROLLA AND EVERYTHING WORKED. NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY HAPPENED. I WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE, BRAKE, LISTEN TO THE RADIO, AC ON HIGH AND GET 30MPG IN THE CITY. SOMETHING MUST BE WRONG WITH MY CAR. NHTSA AND THE MEDIA HAS CONVINCED ME THAT I MIGHT DIE WHILE DRIVING MY TOYOTA AND YET I FEEL JUST AS SAFE AS EVER. PLEASE HELP ME. THANK YOU. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA AND PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STOP. SEVERAL VEHICLES HAD TO SWERVE AND OR SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES TO AVOID ME. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED THE ECM. I HAVE READ OF OTHER TOYOTA VEHICLES HAVING THIS VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM . I COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS ECM FAILURE, PLEASE SEE THAT TOYOTA REPAIRS ALL THESE VEHICLES. *TR

P2716 HARSH SHIFT FAULT CODE. I PURCHASED CAR FROM DEALER AS A CERTIFIED USED PERFECTLY RELIABLE ON 12/28/08 WITH 47000 MILES ON IT. THE OTHER DAY OUT OF NO WHERE, NO WARNINGS, NO NOTICEABLE CHANGES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, WHILE CRUISING UP THE 14 NORTH AT 75 MPH. DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT, STOPPED AT A FRIENDS HOUSE AND USED HIS OBD2 READER AND FOUND OUT THE ISSUE, STILL HAVEN'T NOTICED MUCH OF AN ISSUE EXCEPT FOR THE SHARP HARSH SHIFTING FROM 1ST THRU 3RD UNLESS BABYING IT. SO I GO INTO THE DEALER WITH 94786MILES AND SEE WHAT'S THE ISSUE AND WHY SO MANY PROBLEMS. I WAS TOLD YES ITS KNOWN A TSB HAS BEEN PUBLISHED, YES ITS A SAFETY HAZARD TO ANYONE ON OR AROUND THE ROAD DUE TO THE FACT IT COULD SHUT DOWN AT A MOMENTS NOTICE. BUT SINCE I AM PAST THE 80000 MI. WARRANTY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO EXCEPT OFFER ME A 10% DISCOUNT AND PAY 693.00 TO HAVE IT REPLACED, AND THERE IS NO GUARANTEE IT WILL BE PERFECT AGAIN, MANY OF OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD TO RETURN MULTIPLE TIMES FOR IT WHICH THE WARRANTY COVERS. HOW DOES MY CERTIFIED USED , EXTENDED WARRANTY PURCHASE, BEING A SAFETY HAZARD NOT COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY CONTROL, A SAFETY RECALL, OR SOMETHING? *TR
