ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE A 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA THAT STARTED EXHIBITING VIOLENT SHAKING WHILE DRIVING. SHORTLY AFTER THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL AUTOZONE FOR A DIAGNOSTICS SCAN AND IT RETURNED CODE "P2716 - PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID". I DISCOVERED THAT TOYOTA CURRENTLY HAS A TSB ON THIS ISSUE (TC015-07) BUT NOT AN OFFICIAL RECALL. EVEN THOUGH NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED IN THIS CASE, THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS THE SHAKING SLOWED THE CAR DOWN AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT HAD IT HAD BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY. OTHER PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTTING OF. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY IN MY 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA (MANUAL TRANSMISSION, 40,331 ON THE ODOMETER) WHEN I LOST ALL ACCELERATION. THE CAR'S ENGINE DID NOT STOP BUT THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP CAME ON AND SIMULTANEOUSLY I LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER ACROSS THREE LANES TO THE SHOULDER; WHEN I FINALLY TRIED TO BRAKE, I HAD NO POWER AND HAD TO PUSH THE BRAKES TO THE FLOOR; WHEN I DID THIS THE CAR SHUDDERED. THE TOYOTA DEALER REPAIRED THIS BY REPLACING THE ECU (ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT/COMPUTER), CODE 0607 AT NO CHARGE TO ME. THE PART IS INCLUDED IN THE 8YEAR/80,000 MILE FEDERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY. ACCORDING TO WHAT I'VE READ ABOUT THIS ISSUE, GLEANED FROM THE NHTSA DATABASE, MANY OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM BUT TOYOTA HAS NOT RECALLED THIS DEFECTIVE PART. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND I URGE TOYOTA TO RECONSIDER ITS POSITION. *TR

AIR BAGS
ON SUNDAY AUGUST 2, 2010 AROUND 4 A.M., I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY APPROXIMATELY 60/MPH. I WAS ABOUT TO EXIT WHEN I REALIZED THERE WAS AN ABANDONED VEHICLE BLOCKING MY EXIT LANE. IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO SWERVE TO THE RIGHT OR TO THE LEFT. I DIRECTLY HIT THE CAR GOING AT A SPEED ABOUT 55/MPH. MY BUMPER CAME OFF AND WAS STUCK TO THE ABANDONED CAR WITH THE REST OF THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE DESTROYED. MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, WHICH NOW I AND MY PASSENGERS IN THE ACCIDENT FEEL UNSAFE. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURIES BUT WE WERE REALLY LUCKY. I HAVE NOT EVEN HAD MY VEHICLE 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA FOR 2 WEEKS AND IT CONCERNS ME THAT THERE CAN BE OTHER EFFECTS. I HAVE BEEN IN OTHER CAR ACCIDENTS BEFORE GOING AT A LOWER SPEED AND THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED RIGHT AWAY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA WITH APPROXIMATELY 68,000 MILES IS SUDDENLY HAVING HARSH TO VIOLENT TRANSMISSION SHIFTS AFTER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD A SHOP IDENTIFY OR DIAGNOSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CODE. THEY SAID IT WAS CODE P2716. I CONDUCTED AN INTERNET INVESTIGATION AND DISCOVERED SEVERAL PEOPLE ALSO EXPERIENCING IDENTICAL ISSUES. ALSO, THE SAME INVESTIGATION REVEALED TOYOTA WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND RELEASED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN. TO ME, THE PROBLEM IS NOT AN ISSUE OF WEAR AND TEAR. INSTEAD, IT'S CLEAR THERE'S A DEFECT IN A PART OF THE CAR WHICH CAN POTENTIALLY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
ON 4 OCCASIONS, OUR 2004 TOYOTA COROLLA ENGINE HAS RACED WHILE THE CAR WAS BEING BACKED UP AND MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE MOST SERIOUS INCIDENT WAS IN A PARKING LOT WITH MANY PEOPLE MILLING AROUND TO WATCH A FIREWORKS SHOW. THE HARDER I PUSHED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE FASTER THE ENGINE RAN. FORTUNATELY, THE BRAKES STOPPED THE CAR BEFORE I RAN OVER ANYONE. APPARENTLY, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT DOWN SO FAR THAT MY FOOT COULD HIT THE GAS PEDAL AT THE SAME TIME. ALSO, THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDALS ARE VERY CLOSE TOGETHER. *TR

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
DRIVING 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA MANUAL TRANS ON INTERSTATE ON 8/2/10 AT 2:30 P.M. HAD CRUISE CONTROL ON GOING 70 MPH. ENGAGED CLUTCH, SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL AND BRAKED IN PREPARATION TO STOP FOR TRAFFIC JAM AHEAD. BRAKE DID NOT ENGAGE AND VEHICLE CONTINUED AT 70 MPH WITHOUT TOUCHING ACCELERATOR. CONTINUED ATTEMPTS TO BRAKE, DOWNSHIFT, TURN OFF CRUISE CONTROL WITH NO DECREASE IN SPEED. INITIALLY UNABLE TO DOWNSHIFT BUT THEN DID GET INTO LOWER GEAR BUT WITH NO RESULTING DECREASE IN SPEED, NOR DID THE ENGINE MAKE ANY NOISE INDICATING THAT I HAD DOWNSHIFTED. I WAS ABLE TO GET ONTO SHOULDER WHERE I CONTINUED TO GO 70 MPH.I THEN GOT OFF AT AN EXIT THAT HAD AN INCLINE. PART WAY UP THE HILL FELT SOMETHING DISENGAGE AND THE CAR SLOWED- NOT JUST DUE TO THE INCLINE I THINK. I WAS THEN ABLE TO PUT ON EMERGENCY BRAKE AND THE CAR STOPPED. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES I TRIED THE BRAKES AGAIN AND THEY WORKED. I DID NOT REENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL AFTER THIS. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS OCCURRED AFTER I HAD TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR BOTH TOYOTA RECOMMENDED RECALLS REGARDING THE FLOOR MATS AND PUTTING A MODIFICATION IN THE GAS PEDAL. WHEN I WENT IN FOR RECALLS I ASKED ABOUT PLACEMENT OF A COMPUTER BRAKE OVERRIDE SYSTEM AND WAS FIRST TOLD THAT FIX WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE, THEN TOLD IT WAS NOT RELEVANT TO MY CAR, AND, AFTER THE ABOVE EVENT TOLD AGAIN THAT TOYOTA DID NOT YET HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE TO DO THIS FIX ON COROLLAS. THE DEALERSHIP HAVE THUS FAR BEEN UNPLEASANT AND SUGGESTING THAT I MIGHT NOT BE TELLING THE TRUTH. *TR
