Toyota Corolla electrical problems

WHEN @ INTERSECTION AND OR PASSING IT. I WOULD GET A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALONE WITH A ENGINE STALL @ 15MPH AND 30MPH IT REPEATS ITSELF AT THEESE SPEEDS AND @ 2500-3000RPM WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. I HAVE LOOK ONLINE TO WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND HAVE FOUND AN ARTICLE "HTTP://WWW.AUTOBLOG.COM/2010/03/18/FOLLOWUP-TOYOTA-CONSIDERING-STALL-FIX-FOR-1-2M-COROLLA-AND-MATR/" I HAVE READ THE BLOG AND IT SEEMS THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHOM HAS THIS PROBLEM BUT SOME 1.2MILLION (COROLLA AND MATRIX MODELS FROM 2005, 2006 AND 2007) PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME EFFECT OF AND BAD ECU PROBLEM THAT WHAT SOUNDS LIKE TO ME A DEFECT AND MOST LIKE A HEALTH HAZARD IF LETS SAY MYSELF OR ONE OF THE 1.2MILLION PPLS WHOM ALSO HAVE THE SAME "SO CALLED BY TOYOTA - INCONVENIENCE TO OWNERS. I WOULD SAY MY LIFE IS IMPORTANT AND OTHER WOULD AGREE WITH ME. I WOULD LIKE TO TOYOTA RECALL THE PART THAT THEY KNOW IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM AND REPLACE IT FOR A NEW NON-DEFECTIVE PART THAT HAS THE CORRECTION APPLIED TO THEM SO THAT THIS DOES NOT HAPPEND AGAIN. AS I DO REALLY LIKE MY CAR AND WOULD LOVE TO KEEP MY FAMILY SAFE WHILE DRIVING THEIR CARS.

I RECENTLY ENCOUNTERED A POWER LOSS WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA, THE OPPOSITE OF THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM THAT IS IN THE NEWS. AFTER STOPPING TO FILL UP THE CAR WITH GASOLINE, I COULD ONLY GET THE CAR TO GO ABOUT 5 TO 10 MILES AN HOUR WHEN I USED THE ACCELERATION PEDAL. DESPITE USING THE HAZARD LIGHTS, I WAS CONCERNED THAT SOMEONE WAS GOING TO RAM INTO THE CAR AS I LIMPED INTO A GARAGE TO HAVE THE CAR LOOKED AT. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE NEAREST TOYOTA DEALER WHO UNCOVERED (AFTER A COMPUTERIZED SYSTEM CHECK) AN INTERNAL ECU FAILURE...SOME SORT OF COMPUTER CIRCUIT FAILURE. THE ONLY ADVANCED WARNING ABOUT A COMPUTER FAILURE THAT I CAN RECALL RECEIVING OCCURRED EARLIER IN THE MORNING WHEN I NOTICED THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WEREN'T WORKING RIGHT. THE ECU WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER. I DO NOT HAVE THE OLD PART. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ALONG THE INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 60-65 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY TURNED OFF: ALL INDICATORS IN THE DASHBOARD TURNED OFF/WENT TO ZERO AND THERE WAS NO WAY OF ACCELERATING. I HAD TO SOMEHOW PULL OVER TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. WHEN FINALLY ON THE SIDE LANE THE ENGINE JUST TURNED BACK ON. MY HUSBAND WOULD NOT BELIEVE THIS BUT WE NOW FOUND AN ARTICLE ON WWW.SPIEGEL.DE THAT RELATED TO THIS. HENCE MY REPORTING IT NOW. *TR

MY 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA HAD A FAILED ECM WHICH CAUSED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME AND STALL THE ENGINE. IN ADDITION, MY VEHICLE HAD HIGH RPM AND SHIFTING GEAR PROBLEMS AS WELL. THE FAILED ECM ISSUE WAS DISCOVERED BY A SPECIFIC CODE FOR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY WERE CERTAINLY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM HOWEVER TOLD ME THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS TO RECALL THE ISSUE. I CALLED TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY INFORMED SINCE MY MILEAGE WAS 95,000 AND THE WARRANTY WOULD ONLY COVER UP TO 80,000 MILES. I ENDED UP GETTING THE ECM REPLACED FOR ABOUT $800 AT CARMAX WHICH WAS $700 CHEAPER THAN WHAT TOYOTA WANTED TO CHARGE. I CALLED TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS AGAIN TO COMPLAIN AND WAS LEFT WITH NO RESOLUTION. AFTER MY RESEARCH ONLINE, THIS WAS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM TO TOYOTA HOWEVER THEY FAILED TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. THIS ISSUE OCCURRED TO MANY VEHICLES AS LOW AS 35000 MILES UNDER WARRANTY AND STILL CONTINUE TO OCCUR OUT OF WARRANTY OVER 80000 MILES. I FEEL IF THEY HAD A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE, I WOULD HAVE NEVER HAD THESE ISSUES WITH MY CAR BEING STALLED AND HAVING TO REPLACE THE ECM. I RECENTLY READ AN ARTICLE IN NEWS ABOUT YOUR INVOLVEMENT IN REGARDS TO INVESTIGATION OF THIS ISSUE AND HOPE TOYOTA CAN RECOGNIZE TO ACCEPT THIS FAILED RECALL. I HAVE ALSO FOUND MANY OTHER TOYOTA CUSTOMERS WHO ARE ALL OVER THE INTERNET SHARING SIMILAR FEEDBACK. HTTP://WWW.TOYOTANATION.COM/FORUM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=201631 I AM HOPING THAT YOUR TEAM CAN HOLD TOYOTA ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS POOR DECISION OF NOT TO RECALL THIS ISSUE. PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR ANY FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS IN REGARDS TO THIS ISSUE AT [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ON FRIDAY, MARCH 12, 2010, I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA HOME ON MY LUNCH HOUR AND MY CAR STALLED TWICE ON A SHARP TURN. I NEARLY LOST CONTROL ON THE TURN BECAUSE THE STEERING BECAME (QUITE UNEXPECTEDLY) VERY DIFFICULT. AT FIRST I DIDN'T REALIZE THE CAR HAD STALLED, CAUSING THE STEERING PROBLEM. THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME THE CAR STALLED. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID IT COULD BE A COMPUTER PROBLEM, BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, ETC., AND THEY'D RUN DIAGNOSTICS ON IT. AFTER BEING THERE OVER FOUR HOURS, ALL THEY SAID WAS THAT THE BATTERY WAS "MARGINAL" BUT IT TOOK A CHARGE. I ASKED ABOUT PUTTING IN A NEW BATTERY AND THE SERVICE REP SAID HE DIDN'T WANT TO DO THAT. I WASN'T CHARGED FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC OR BATTERY CHARGE. I BELIEVE, NOW THAT I'VE HEARD ABOUT THE STALL ISSUE TODAY IN THE NEWS, THAT THIS PROBLEM IS WHY I WASN'T CHARGED FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST; HOWEVER, I WAS NOT INFORMED THERE HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS WITH STALLING. *TR
