POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 60 MPH DOWN THE FREEWAY WHEN SUDDENLY WITH NO WARNING, THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING. I HAD TO CRUISE OVER TO THE SHOULDER OUT OF DANGER. I EVENTUALLY WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ($97.00) AND TOLD ME IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP. THEY TOLD ME IT MIGHT BE COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THAT'S WHEN I ASKED THEM IF WATER COULD HAVE POSSIBLY GOTTEN INTO THE FUEL SYSTEM (GASOLINE). THEY SAID THEY DID NOT DO A FUEL CHECK, BUT WOULD DO ONE. THEY CALLED ME BACK AND SAID IT WAS CONTAMINATED GAS AND THAT SOME SILVERY METALLIC SUBSTANCE WAS IN THE GASOLINE. IT COST ME $1,605.00 TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP, CLEAN THE FUEL INJECTORS, CLEAN OUT THE GAS TANK. NEXT DAY THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE BAD GAS HAD KILLED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND THE RATIO OXYGEN SENSORS. COST ME ANOTHER $1,980.88. CALLED THE GAS COMPANY I GOT THE GAS FROM AND THEY DENIED MY CLAIM SAYING NOT ENOUGH EVIDENCE EVEN THOUGH THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMED BAD GASOLINE. THE GAS COMPANY TOLD ME THAT WHEN FUEL PUMPS GO, THEY CAN EMIT A METALLIC SUBSTANCE IN THE GASOLINE. NOW I DON'T KNOW WHO TO BELIEVE AFTER HEARING ABOUT ALL THESE FUEL PUMPS GOING. FUNNY THING IS THAT WHEN I WAS PAYING FOR MY CAR THE 2ND TIME AROUND, A WOMAN PAYING FOR HER REPAIR WORK SAID HER FUEL PUMP WENT OUT TOO. SHE HAD THE SAME CAR -- 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA !!! SHE ALSO HAD TO PAY $1,500.00. SOMETHING IS FISHY HERE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2005 COROLLA S, AND THE ECU PROBLEM IS WELL-KNOWN, AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I HAD MY FIRST PROBLEM WITH MY ECU, AT 62K MILES, AND THANK GOD, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN WHILE I WAS ON MY DAILY 40 MILE COMMUTE ON A HIGH-SPEED, HEAVY-TRAFFIC HIGHWAY. MY CAR JUST WOULDN'T START AT RANDOM WHEN I WAS LEAVING A STORE, THE STARTER WASN'T CRANKING, NOTHING WAS HAPPENING, JUST NOTHING WHEN I TURNED THE KEY. NO LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD, OTHER THAN THE DOOR LIGHT WHERE I HAD THE DOOR OPEN (IT WAS 95 DEGREES, AND MY POWER WINDOWS OBVIOUSLY WEREN'T WORKING). DID RESEARCH AND SAW THAT THE ECM IS A TERRIBLE PROBLEM ON 05-07 COROLLAS, AND THE TOYOTA SERVICE MAN AGREED THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. GOT IT REPLACED, AND NOT EVEN 24 HOURS AFTER PICKING IT UP FROM THE DEALER, IT HAPPENED AGAIN, STRANDING ME AT WORK WITH NO WAY TO GET HOME. THIS IS A RIDICULOUS PROBLEM, AND IT IS CERTAINLY A SAFETY HAZARD WITH MANY REPORTS OF THE CAR STOPPING WHILE PEOPLE ARE DRIVING. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND PUT THE CAR INTO 1ST GEAR AND PROCEEDED TO ACCELERATE UP TO 15MPG. UPON SHIFTING THE CAR INTO 2ND GEAR IT DID NOT TAKE AND THE CAR THEN MADE A NOISE. I HAD TO THEN PLACE THE CAR BACK INTO 1ST GEAR AND PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ALMOST GETTING HIT BY OTHER TRAFFIC AND STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR A FULL INSPECTION. THERE WAS NOTHING VISIBLE UPON INSPECTION AND NO CURRENT NOISES AT THAT TIME SO I PROCEEDED TO GO AGAIN FIRST SHIFTING INTO 1ST GEAR THEN SECOND AND I STOPPED AT 3RD AND WENT STRAIGHT HOME. ABOUT ONE AND 1/2 MILES LATER IT STARTED MAKING ANOTHER NOISE SIMILAR TO THE FIRST, BUT IT WAS CONTINUOUS AND SO I PARKED THE CAR AT HOME AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY THEN EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THIS WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MOTOR(BEING THE TYPE THAT IT WAS) AND WHAT HAD HAPPENED IS A ROD IN THE ENGINE HAD BEEN SPUN. THEY SAID IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE AND I COULD HAVE LOST CONTROL AND WRECKED THE CAR VERY EASILY. THEY SAID THAT DUE TO THE NATURE AND PRICE THEY WOULD NOT FIX THE CAR BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A FULL NEW ENGINE REPLACEMENT AND THAT WOULD BE UP TO $8K BECAUSE OF IT BEING A RARE AND HIGH PERFORMANCE PRICE. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION AND ONLINE RESEARCH IT IS VERY COMMON WHILE DOWNSHIFTING THIS ENGINE THAT THEY SLIP A GEAR AND SPIN THE ROD MOSTLY IN THE #4 ROD AND NEED A NEW ENGINE FOR COMPLETE REPAIRS. ALSO IT WOULD VERY LIKELY CONTINUE TO HAPPEN AGAIN AND AGAIN THUS PUTTING ME AND MY FAMILY IN DANGER ON THE ROAD. TOYOTA WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM THEY DO ACKNOWLEDGE IT AND THAT IT EXISTS, BUT WILL NOT DO THE REPAIRS BECAUSE OF THE PRICE ISSUE. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THOUGH. THE BAR ALSO REQUESTED THAT IT BE REPORTED TO NHTSA. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT AROUND 65 MPH. THEY WERE CLOSING THE RIGHT LANE FOR ROAD WORK, LEADING EVERYONE TO MERGE INTO ONE LANE. I APPLIED MY BRAKES AND THEY LOCKED UP. AS I WAS MOVING FORWARD AND SLOWING DOWN AS EVERYONE WAS SLOWING BECAUSE OF THE MERGING (HOWEVER, THIS WASN'T HAPPENING SMOOTHLY, AS I WAS SKIDDING INSTEAD OF SIMPLY DECELERATING), I WAS REAR ENDED BY A CAR TRAVELING AT FULL SPEED (APPROX 65 MPH). THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT HIT ME INTO GRASS MEDIAN ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. WHILE STOPPED FOR MERE SECONDS, I HAD NOT EVEN PUT THE CAR INTO PARK YET, MY CAR STARTED ROLLING DOWN THE MEDIAN'S EMBANKMENT, THROUGH THE WOODS WHILE MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE. I KEPT PRESSING THE BRAKE AND IT WAS NOT RESPONDING. I HIT A TREE AFTER ROLLING APPROX 100 FEET INTO THE WOODS. A TOYOTA DEALER IS CURRENTLY DOING THE REPAIRS, AND TOLD ME THAT THE BRAKES WERE IN FACT WORKING WHEN DRIVING IT AROUND THE SHOP AT SLOW SPEEDS. I FEEL LIKE NO ONE BELIEVES ME, NOR IS EVEN OFFERING AN EXPLANATION ON HOW THIS COULD EVEN HAPPEN. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, POWER TRAIN
I NOTICED AN ODD DISRUPTION IN NORMAL TRANSMISSION FUNCTION ON MY 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA. I SUSPECTED IT WAS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE ENGINE COMPONENT . I WENT TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ;THAT THE CAR WOULD STOP RUNNING WITHOUT REPLACING IT. ON INQUIRY I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS COMPONENT ON 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA'S. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO REPLACE THE COMPONENT. I CALLED THE TOYOTA CORPORATE OFFICE ON JUNE 8,2010 (1-800-331-4331) CALL REFERENCE NUMBER: 1006081641 IT BECAME APPARENT THAT TOYOTA KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH DEFECTIVE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE'S IN 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA'S. IF THE PHONE CALL IS PULLED BY THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY SAFETY TRAFFIC ADMINISTRATION A WIDER PROBLEM WITH DEFECTIVE ENGINE CONTROL MODULES MAY BECOME EVIDENT. I IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN I CALLED THE TOYOTA CORPORATE OFFICE. *TR THE CONSUMER HAD THE NECESSARY REPAIRS MADE AT THE DEALER AT HER EXPENSE. UPDATED IVOQ 10/18/10

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA CE HAS BEEN RANDOMLY STALLING ON ME WHEN I TURN, WHEN IM AT RED LIGHTS, WHEN IM ACCELERATING AND WHEN IM SLOWING DOWN WITH NO RHYME OR REASON. IT JUST STARTED ONE DAY AND CONTINUES TO DO AT RANDOM TIMES AND WITH RANDOM FREQUENCY. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND THERE IS NO WAY TO DETERMINE WHEN MY GAS PEDAL WILL QUIT WORKING, NO NOISE TO LET ME KNOW IT IS ABOUT TO OR HAS HAPPENED, NO OVERHEATING OF THE ENGINE, NO SPIKES IN THE RPMS OR ANYTHING, IT JUST DOES IT. I WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT THE OTHER NIGHT AT 11PM WHEN I WAS AT A RED LIGHT AND WENT TO ACCELERATE AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE, THE PERSON BEHIND ME ALMOST REAR-ENDED ME BECAUSE OF THIS. I WAS ABLE TO TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC WHO SAID THE COMPUTER WAS READING IT WAS A FUEL ACTUATOR ISSUE. THEY ADVISED ME TO CONTACT TOYOTA SINCE THAT IS THE SAME FAILURE THAT IS BEING RECALLED ON ALL THE OTHER VEHICLES. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT TOYOTA WHICH HAVEN'T RESOLVED ANYTHING YET, SO MY CAR IS STILL STALLING AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO RESOLVE IT AS OF YET. *TR
