Toyota Corolla electrical problems

STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA SHOT UP TO 6,000 RPM/100MPH. WE WERE ABLE TO PUT IT IN PARK AND SHUT CAR OFF BEFORE IT LURCHED FORWARD INTO THE CAR AHEAD. TOYOTA HAS HAD THE CAR SINCE MONDAY AND IS TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE COMPUTER. A REPORT WAS FILED WITH CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER AND A CASE NUMBER HAS BEEN ASSIGNED TO THE INCIDENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 30 MPH THROUGH A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY. IN ADDITION, WHEN IN THE REVERSE POSITION THE VEHICLE WOULD SHIFT EXTREMELY HARD AND THE AIR CONDITIONER HAD BECOME INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO ADVISED THAT THE CENTRAL COMPUTER SYSTEM WAS DEFECTIVE. THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. ALL REPAIRS WOULD BE AT THE EXPENSE OF THE OWNER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 99,000.

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA WHICH I BOUGHT IN NOVEMBER 2006. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS OUT OF MY VEHICLE, FROM COSMETICS, TO VIBRATING STEERING WHEEL, AIR CONDITIONING ISSUES, LEAKING STRUTS, ALIGNMENT ISSUES, AND MOST RECENTLY THE ECM. I WAS DRIVING TO THE STORE, AND RIGHT BEFORE I TURNED INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION MY CAR SHOOK, AND THEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. ALL OF THE LIGHTS AND SERVICE INDICATORS CAME ON, AND THEN SHUT OFF LEAVING ONLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. I TRIED TO START MY VEHICLE AGAIN, BUT NOTHING. MY FRIEND HAD TO HELP ME TO PUSH THE VEHICLE INTO A NEARBY PARKING LOT. THERE, I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AGAIN, AND SO I HEADED HOME. JUST AS I GOT TO MY HOUSE, THE CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN, AND RIGHT BEFORE IT SHUT OFF, IT WOULDN'T EVEN GIVE GAS. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO A NEARBY SHOP, AND AFTER CHECKING THE ENTIRE CAR AND DOING A DIAGNOSTIC, I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE ECM AND THAT IT WOULD COST 650 TO REPAIR (AND THAT'S FOR A USED/REBUILT ONE). I CALLED TOYOTA, AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY UP TO 80,000 MILES. I AM JUST UNDER 80,000 MILES THANK GOD. THE GUY I SPOKE WITH SOUNDED AS IF HE WASN'T SURPRISED OF THE ISSUE. I AM HAVING MY VEHICLE TOWED TO TOYOTA TODAY, AND I GUESS WILL SEE HOW THIS ALL PANS OUT. THE BAD PART ABOUT IT ALL IS, WHAT IF THEY FIX THE PROBLEM AND IT HAPPENS AGAIN? AND WHAT OTHER ISSUES ARE THERE THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT AND THEIR CONSUMERS DON'T. PLUS, WHO IS GOING TO PAY FOR PEOPLES TIME OFF WORK FOR THESE REPAIRS, AND THEIR INCONVENIENCES? AT THIS POINT I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN TOYOTA! I WANTED TO PURCHASE THE 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA NEXT, OR THE LEXUS RX320, BUT I WILL DEFINITELY PASS ON THAT NOW! *TR

REPLACED THREE DENSO STARTERS IN 1/2010, 9/2006, AND 9/2003 IN '99 TOYOTA COROLLA WITH ONLY 90K MILEAGE IN CAR. I BELIEVE THESE STARTERS ARE DEFECTIVE BECAUSE IN 2003 MECHANIC REPLACED ORIGINAL DENSO STARTER WITH REMANUFACTURED DENSO. I HAD 42K MILEAGE ON CAR. HE INSPECTED THE STARTER AND THE INVOICE STATES THAT THE STARTER WAS DEFECTIVE. I EMAILED DENSO SALESPERSON TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE PRODUCT AND REQUEST REIMBURSEMENT. HE SAID NO BECAUSE THERE IS ONLY 12K WARRANTY ON STARTER. AGAIN I HAD A STARTER REPLACED IN 2006, AND 2010. SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG THAT I AM REPLACING STARTERS EVERY THREE YEARS. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE A STARTER IN MY LIFE. I WANT THIS COMPANY INVESTIGATED AND WANT MY MONEY BACK. *TR

WHILE GETTING ON THE FREEWAY MY CAR LOST ALMOST ALL ACCELERATION IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY TURNED OFF CAR, RESTATED IT AND IT SOUNDED, FELT NORMAL. I DROVE 11 MILES HOME. NEXT DAY: DRIVING TO TOYOTA 2MILES AWAY, ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, CAR SHUTS DOWN AT INTERSECTION IN TRAFFIC, BLOCKS FROM TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. CAR STALLS 4 MORE TIMES TO DEALERSHIP. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY MOM'S 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA CE TONIGHT. I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WAITING TO TURN LEFT. THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR STALLED AND IT WOULD BARELY MOVE AT ALL AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS THANKFULLY ABLE TO GET OFF TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD WITHOUT BEING IN AN ACCIDENT. AFTER I GOT TO THE SHOULDER OFF THE ROAD THE CAR SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS ABOUT TO QUIT RUNNING AND JUST DIE OUT. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON AND I WAS TERRIFIED ABOUT HAVING TO DRIVETHE CAR HOME, ABOUT 2 MILES FROM MY DESTINATION AT THAT TIME, BUT I TRIED IT AND WHEN I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL, AFTER I RESTARTED THE CAR, IT DONE OKAY AND DID NOT STALL. HOWEVER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER WENT OUT EVEN AFTER RESTARTING THE CARE. THIS IS A BIG SAFETLY RISK AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY TOYOTA. SOMEONE COULD HAVE HIT ME IN THE BACK END AND IT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED! I WAS VERY UPSET WHEN THIS HAPPENED NOT SURE WHAT I WAS GOING TO DO. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING ANY TOYOTA PRODUCT. AGAIN, I WAS DRIVING MY MOM'S 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA CE. I AM THE OWNER OF A 2007 SCION TC AND I AM THINKING ABOUT TRADING IT OFF BECAUSE I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING ANYTHING MADE BY TOYOTA. BEFORE TODAY, I WASN'T REALLY WORRIED ABOUT DRIVING MY MOM'S CAR SINCE NONE OF THE INCIDENTS WHERE THE VEHICLE SPEEDS UP AND YOU CAN'T STOP IT AFFECTED HER MODEL BUT AFTER THIS INCIDENT TODAY, I WILL NOT BE DRIVING HER CAR AT ALL. I FEEL LIKE MY LIFE IS AT DANGER WHEN IN A TOYOTA. PLEASE HELP PROTECT MY SAFETY AND FAMILIES AROUND AMERICA. TOYOTA NEEDS TO MAKE A RECALL REGARDING THIS BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY RISK!!!! DESPITE WHAT TOYOTA SAYS. THEY HAVEN'T BEEN IN THE SITUATION THEMSELVES. IT IS ABSOLUTELY NO FUN. IF THEY CAN'T FIX THE PROBLEMS, THEY NEED TO JUST SHUT DOWN. PEOPLE'S LIVES ARE AT RISK. *TR
