ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA, ITS ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED IN 2007. THEN THE CAR DEALER REPLACED THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. IN 2008, AS THE LOSING CONTROL, THE CAR SLID OUT OF THE ROAD AND HIT THE TREE. IN 2009, THE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED AGAIN, THIS TIME THEY CHANGED GASKET AND FOUND THE AIR CAN ENTER THE ENGINE AND CAUSED THE ENGINE PROBLEM (LOSE POWER AND CAN'T DRIVE MORE THAN 30MPH). SINCE THEN, WE EXPERIENCED SUCH PROBLEMS THREE TIMES: WHEN WE DRIVE, THE CAR CAN SUDDENLY LOSE POWER AND CAN'T DRIVE MORE THAN 30MPH, BUT IT BECOME NORMAL AND THE MECHANIC WORKER CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM THE NEXT DAY. WE THINK THIS PROBLEM IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEED TO REPORT TO YOUR COMPANY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
APRIL 2010 - TACHOMETER STARTED 'JUMPING' AROUND. CEL WOULD ILLUMINATE ON AND OFF AND THE CAR WOULD OCCASIONALLY ACT LIKE IT WANTED TO STALL AND ACTED SLUGGISH. JUNE 2010 - BROUGHT TO LOCAL SHOP THAT SAID IT MIGHT BE A COMPUTER ISSUE AND TO TAKE TO TOYOTA. TOOK TO TOYOTA, TOYOTA SAID THAT IT WAS JUST A BAD TACHOMETER AND THAT I COULD CHOOSE TO REPLACE IT. I DID NOT. CEL LIGHT CONTINUED TO GO ON AND OFF. VEHICLE WOULD SOMETIMES SHIFT VERY HARD OR SEEM TO HAVE TROUBLE. SEPTEMBER 2010 - THE VEHICLE ALMOST STALLED AT 45MPH WHEN IT SEEMED LIKE IT WAS TRYING TO SWITCH GEARS (AUTO TRANSMISSION). WHEN GOING HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE RPMS WOULD NOT GET OVER 1800 WHEN NORMALLY IT RUNS AROUND 2300 (AT 65MPH) WHEN I WOULD STEP ON BRAKE, RPMS WOULD DROP TO AROUND 1000 AND THEN TO THE POINT OF STALLING. SOMETIMES I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE LEFT FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE RIGHT FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR TO NOT HAVE IT STALL IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. SOMETIMES AT A LIGHT, I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND CONTINUE TO REV THE ENGINE. SOME DAYS THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO BE RUNNING FINE, OTHER TIMES IT IS VERY STRESSFUL TO DRIVE WHEN IT IS HAVING ISSUES. OCTOBER 2010 - RECEIVED RECALL LETTER FROM TOYOTA REGARDING THE ECM (ENGINE CONTROL MODULE) AND THAT PARTS WILL START TO BE COME AVAILABLE THE END OF NOVEMBER. CALLED TOYOTA CORPORATE AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT CURRENTLY HAVE A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE IT IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. *TR
