Toyota Corolla electrical problems

I HAVE A 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA S. IT HAS APPROX. 115,000 MILES. THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY GOING 70MILES/HR. HE PULLED OVER WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND THE CAR STARTED UP AGAIN. THE CAR CONTINUES TO STALL WHEN THE RPMS GO OVER 1000. THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED WAS THE ENGINE CONTROL UNIT. STILL WAITING FOR CAR TO BE REPAIRED. *TR

TURNED ON MY 2009 COROLLA AFTER WORK AND BATTERY LIGHT WAS ON. I WENT TO TEST IT AT AUTO ZONE AND THEY SAID THE BATTERY IS NO GOOD. I CALLED KEYS TOYOTA AND THEY SAID BRING IT UP AND THEY WILL REPLACE IT. I MADE IT ABOUT 3 BLOCKS FROM AUTO ZONE AND POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND BRAKE LIGHT COME ON AND CAR STARTED TO CHUG. I TOOK THIS CAR TO THE NEAREST TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY INFORMED ME THAT ITS A BAD ALTERNATOR, POWER STEERING, AND WATER PUMP W BATTERY CHARGING ISSUES. THIS HAPPENED ALL IN LIKE A HALF HOUR. BATTERY LIGHT NEVER CAME ON BEFORE THAT DAY. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ON FREEWAY. TOYOTA WAKE UP. WHAT HAPPENED TO QUALITY? MY COROLLA IS NOT EVEN 2 YEARS OLD AND HAS JUST OVER 30,000 MILES AND THIS? THE DEALERSHIP DID PAY FOR MY RENTAL AND IS FIXING THIS ISSUE FREE OF CHARGE BUT 4 THINGS WRONG IN LESS THAN 1/2 HOUR? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED AND TURNED OFF COMPLETELY. AFTER SITTING IN THE IDLE POSITION FOR 40 MINUTES, THE VEHICLE FINALLY RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 26,000. UPDATED 11/03/10. *LJ UPDATED 11/19/10. *LJ THE DEALER STATED THE CAUSE OF THE ENGINE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A BAD BATTERY. UPDATED 11/24/10

MY 2007 COROLLA STALLED AT AN INTERSECTION. I WAS WAITING AT A STOP LIGHT AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE STALLED AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN. I CALLED A FRIEND WHO HELPED ME PUSH MY CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I THEN CALLED AAA AND THEY CAME AND TOWED MY CAR TO A CAR SERVICE. THIS HAPPENED AT 8:30PM TODAY AND SO THE CAR SERVICE WAS ALREADY CLOSED AND I WILL HAVE TO WAIT TILL FRIDAY MORNING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT CAUSED THIS. IT WAS A HARROWING AND TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE AND I FEARED FOR MY SAFETY. *TR

A YEAR AGO UNDER RAINY WEATHER,DRIVING MY TOYOTA COROLLA S/09 WHEN APPROACHING THE HIGHWAY EXIT I LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR BEFORE TURNING OUT TO THE MAIN WAY. I CRASHED WITH THE HIGHWAY BAR AND THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR GOT DAMAGE, NO AIRBAGS CAME OUT, HOWEVER I DRIVE IT LIKE THAT TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY ASSIST FOR THE WHOLE REPARATION AND DEAL WITH THE INSURANCE. MY DEDUCTIBLE WAS $1000 AMONG THE REPARATION. WEEKS LATER THEY CALLED ME TO PICK UP THE CAR, NOTICING THE LIGHTS FROM THE BOARD DIDN'T TURN ON. GETTING BACK TO GARAGE.THEN 6 MONTHS LATER THE HARNESS WAS REPORTED AS NON PROPERLY REPAIR WHEN AN ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON AND I GOT BACK TO THE DEALER. THEY DID REPARATION BACK WITH THE INSURANCE AS PART OF THE ACCIDENT REPARATION. THEY WERE ALL SENDING EACH OTHER AND NO ONE GAVE ANY ANSWER ABOUT WAS GOING ON WITH THE CAR. LATER, I DECIDE TO SELL THE CAR BY OWNER OR TRADE FOR ANOTHER, NOTICING THAT ALL THE MECHANICS I'D VISITED INCLUDING OTHER DEALERS ARE TELLING ME THAT THE CARE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO A FRAME DAMAGE THAT WAS NEVER REPORTED TO ME AFTER THE ENTIRE REPARATION, AND IS NOT IN THE PAPERS. I DID ALL THE RECALLS SUGGESTED BY TOYOTA THIS YEAR, BUT I'M STILL DRIVING A CAR THAT SHOULD BE REPORTED AS A TOTAL LOST DUE TO THE DAMAGE SUFFERED AT THE ACCIDENT. ADJUSTER SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG AT REPARATION AND THAT PEOPLE FROM THE DEALER COULDN'T SAY THE CAR WASN'T PROPERLY REPAIRED. I'M STILL PAYING FOR THE CAR, THE INCREMENT OF THE INSURANCE, AND NOBODY AT TOYOTA CARES ABOUT THE FRAME DAMAGE ISSUE. AT THE LAST REPARATION DUE TO THE HARNESS, THEY DIDN'T GAVE ANY WORK PAPER SAYING THEY GET RID OF PRINTER PAPER. THINGS SHOULDN'T BE LIKE THIS WHEN SAFETY IS FIRST THING WHEN DRIVING A CAR. *TR

2007 COROLLA LE, AUTO TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SHIFT VIOLENTLY. ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR BECAME SLUGGISH. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE INTO SERVICE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE ECU WAS BAD AND REPLACEMENT WAS NEEDED. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE AND TOYOTA RELEASED A TSB IN 2007. THE TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE ECU ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THE REPLACEMENT WAS BAD AS WELL. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. A FEW DAYS LATER, THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN SO THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE FUEL LINE AND WIRES UNDER THE HOOD WERE CHEWED AWAY. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE UNKNOWN.

MY 2007 COROLLA LE HAD 59.5K MILES WHEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT LIT. WHILE DRIVING TO WORK MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I STOPPED BY AUTOZONE AND THEY READ THE CODE IT STATED REPLACE THE ECU. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE ECU. THIS IS VERY DISAPPOINTING SINCE I PREVIOUSLY OWNED A 1992 TOYOTA PESAO AND FROM 24K TO 250K MILES I NEVER ONCE HAD ANY ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE OR THE ELECTRONICS. NOW THIS CAR IS BLOWING UP COMPUTERS AT 60K? LAST TIME I BUY A TOYOTA! *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 COROLLA ON VACATION THE MOTOR STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. LUCKILY WE WERE IN A PARKING LOT AND AFTER A MINUTE OR TWO THE ENGINE RESTARTED BUT JUST WENT A FEW YARDS AND STALLED AGAIN. AFTER CHECKING THE FLUIDS (ALL OK) I WAITED ABOUT 10 MINUTES AND ONCE AGAIN STARTED THE ENGINE, THIS TIME I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE ABOUT ONE BLOCK BEFORE IT STALLED AGAIN IN TRAFFIC AND I HAD TO PUSH IT OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I CALLED A TOWTRUCK AND HAD IT TAKEN TO A NEARBY TOYOTA DEALER IN SIMI VALLEY, CA. AFTER LEAVING IT THERE OVERNIGHT, THEY CALLED AND SAID IT NEEDED A NEW ECM (ENGINE CONTROL MODULE). THAT WAS REPLACED AS WELL AS SOME ROUTINE SERVICE WORK. THEY DID NOT CHARGE FOR THE ECM AS THEY WERE FAMILIAR WITH THAT PROBLEM. I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT RESULTS IN ALMOST COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKES AND STEERING. *TR
