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 TOOK MY 2007 COROLLA TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 1/18/2010 IN BAKERSFIELD, CALIFORNIA BECAUSE OF THROTTLE SURGES, AND AT ONE POINT, LOSS OF THROTTLE CAPABILITY. THEY REPLACED 1 PART RELATED TO THE THROTTLE THAT COST OVER 1100 DOLLARS. IT CONTINUED TO DO THE SAME THINGS, AND I RETURNED IT ON 3/23/10, ONLY TO FIND OUT A COMPUTER BOARD AND OXYGEN SENSOR NOW NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF 1,000 ADDITIONAL DOLLARS. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN TOYOTA'S LACK OF OWNERSHIP REGARDING THESE ISSUES. IF I CHOOSE TO HAVE THE REPAIRS MADE, I WILL THEN DRIVE IT OVER TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP, TO PURCHASE A COMPARABLE REPLACEMENT.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
THIS COMPLAINT IS CONCERNING MY 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA ON THE 11TH OF MARCH 2010 WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MILES AN HOUR I WENT TO ACCELERATE TO CHANGE LANES. AS I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR MY CAR DID NOT RESPOND, AND BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN. I TURNED THE WHEEL TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND REALIZED THAT I DID NOT HAVE POWER STEERING, THUS CONFIRMING THE OVERALL STALL. I MANAGED TO GET TO THE SHOULDER AND AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE I TRIED TO TURN THE KEY AND THE CAR CAME BACK ON. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO DON DAVIS CERTIFIED TOYOTA PARTS AND REPAIR. AFTER RUNNING A THREE HOUR DIAGNOSTIC WAS REPORTED TO ME THAT "NOTHING WAS WRONG" WITH THE CAR. THE COMPUTER SHOWED NO SIGNS OF ANY TYPE OF GLITCH OR MALFUNCTION. I RETURNED HOME, ONLY TO FIND A REPORT SEVERAL DAYS LATER ABOUT COROLLAS SUDDENLY STALLING. *TR *DT

STEERING
.THE STEERING ON MY 2010 COROLLA IS HARD TO CONTROL. THE VEHICLE FEELS LIKE IT IS WANDERING ON THE ROAD AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO CORRECT. THE PROBLEM IS MUCH WORSE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ABOVE 60MPH. DRIVING THE CAR IN CROSSWINDS IS DIFFICULT AND SCARY DUE TO THE "FLOATING" FEEL OF THE STEERING. *DT

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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

STEERING
STEERING TOO SENSITIVE. MOST NOTABLE AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. WONT TRACK CORRECTLY. WANTS TO DRIFT EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT. CORRECTION ONLY MAKES THE CAR DRIFT THE OTHER WAY. MUST BE VERY ATTENTIVE OR CAR COULD DRIFT INTO OTHER LANE. CONDITION SINCE NEW. DEALERSHIP HAS VERIFIED THE PROBLEM BUT CANT SEEM TO FIX IT. BEEN TO DEALERSHIP SERVICE TWICE FOR THIS CONDITION. *TR
