SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC
THIS IS FOR A 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA LE. SOMETIMES, AFTER I HIT THE BRAKES, THE CAR SEEMS TO STOP GRADUALLY AND THE FRONT WHEELS TEND TO SHAKE HEAVILY. (ALMOST SEEMS LIKE THE WHEELS ARE GOING TO FALL OFF). I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN THE ABS KICKING IN. I AM STILL NOT SATISFIED BY THE DEALERS REMEDY. THEY BASICALLY DID NOTHING. THE PROBLEM HAPPENS MOSTLY ON WET SURFACES AND LIGHT SNOW. BUT BECAUSE OF THAT, EVERY TIME I HIT THE BRAKES, I HAVE TO PRAY THE CAR TO STOP. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I AM THE OWNER OF 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA. I HAVE TO PRESS MY BRAKE PEDAL HARD AND ALMOST ALL THE WAY DOWN TO MAKE MY CAR TO STOP. I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT THE DEALERSHIP WANT TO CHARGE ME $89 TO LOOK AT IT. I CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE BUT GOT NO RESULT. I AM ALSO SMELLING BURNING ODOR COMING FROM MY VENTS WHEN I TURN THE HEAT ON. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND ALL THEY WANT IS TO CHARGE ME MONEY TO LOOK AT MY PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE OWNED MY 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA S WITH A 5-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION SINCE JULY 2006. IN THAT TIME I HAVE HAD APPROXIMATELY 5 INCIDENCES WHEN THE ENGINE RACED UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS HAS ALWAYS OCCURRED WHEN I HAD THE CLUTCH DEPRESSED AND WAS BRAKING. I HAVE THOUGHT THAT MY RIGHT FOOT, WHICH I INTENDED TO BE ON THE CENTER OF THE BRAKE PEDAL, WAS ACTUALLY ON THE SIDE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL SUCH THAT IT SIMULTANEOUSLY CONTACTED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THIS EXPLANATION IS PROBLEMATIC IN THAT EVEN WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL FULLY DEPRESSED, IT IS STILL HIGHER THAN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE ONLY WAY I COULD BE DEPRESSING BOTH THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AT THE SAME TIME IS FOR MY FOOT TO BE TWISTED AND OFF CENTER AT THE SAME TIME. MAYBE THIS IS POSSIBLE, I DON'T KNOW. WHAT USUALLY HAPPENS IS THAT THE ENGINE RACES(MAYBE 4000 TO 5000 RPM) BUT SINCE THE CLUTCH IS ALREADY DEPRESSED AND MY FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR DOES NOT SPEED UP. USUALLY THE ENGINE ONLY RACES FOR A SECOND OR TWO AND I DON'T KNOW HOW IT GETS SETTLED DOWN--MAYBE I REPOSITION MY FOOT A LITTLE--I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENS BECAUSE IT IS ALWAYS UNEXPECTED AND HAPPENS SO QUICKLY I AM LEFT CONFUSED AND SCARED. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS A FEW DAYS AGO SO WITH ALL THE PUBLICITY ABOUT TOYOTA ACCELERATOR PEDALS, I THOUGHT I WOULD REPORT THIS PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH MY CAR IS NOT COVERED IN THE RECALL. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY WIFE WAS DRIVING A TOYOTA COROLLA NORMALLY WHEN SHE SUDDENLY FOUND THAT SHE COULD NOT REDUCE SPEED AND TO CONTROL THE CAR. THE CAR WENT FAR OFF THE ROAD AND HIT A POST. THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES AROUND OR INVOLVED; IT WAS DAY TIME; THERE WERE NO EXTERNAL FACTORS THAT AFFECTED THE ROAD CONDITION, SUCH AS SNOW OR RAIN. MY WIFE WAS (AND IS) IN GOOD HEALTH, SHE WAS NOT UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL OR DRUGS (NOR DOES SHE DRINK ALCOHOL OR USE DRUGS); SHE HAS A FLAWLESS DRIVING RECORD, AND SHE HAS NEVER RECEIVED TICKETS OR GOTTEN INTO ANY OTHER ACCIDENTS SINCE SHE HAS GOTTEN HER DRIVERS LICENSE ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
DEFECTIVE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE IN THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM. AS A RESULT, THE ENGINE SPEED DID NOT INCREASE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED WHEN THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TURN GREEN. LOW SPEED DRIVING (LESS THAN 20 MPH) WAS USED TO REMOVE VEHICLE FROM ROAD. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THE COMPUTER CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
IN 1991, DRIVING ON HWY 5 IN CAL, SUDDEN MY CAR TACKED OUT, ACCELERATING BEYOND ANYTHING I'VE EXPERIENCE. THIS CAR IS BEFORE THE CURRENT RECALL. I BRING THIS UP, BECAUSE, AT THE TIME, I KNEW IT WAS NOT THE PEDAL. IT SEEMED TO ME AT THE TIME THAT IT WAS IN THE WIRING OR COMPUTER. I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, IT COMPLETELY TACKED OUT, RISKING THAT IT WOULD THROW A ROD. THEN I TURNED THE KEY, AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AS I DRIFTED OFF THE HIGHWAY. PLEASE DON'T LET TOYOTA GET AWAY WITH SAYING THIS IS JUST PEDALS, IT WAS NOT FOR ME. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
IN NOVEMBER OF 2009 I PURCHASED A NEW TOYOTA COROLLA SPORT AND WITHIN 2 DAYS NOTICED THE TACHOMETER RACING EVEN WHEN THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL. I ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN I WOULD TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND PRESS IN THE CLUTCH THE TACHOMETER WOULD ACCELERATE AS MUCH AS 2000 RPM AND STAY THERE. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR BACK TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED THREE TIMES IN 2009 AND ONCE IN 2010 REGARDING UNEXPLAINED ACCELERATION. EVEN WHEN I AM NOT IN THE CAR AND THE CAR IS IDLING ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY ACCELERATES FROM .6 ON THE TACHOMETER TO 6.4 ON THE TACHOMETER. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CAN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUES AND HAVE ADVISED ME NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN THE LAST TIME I HAD 5 RECORDING ON MY CELL PHONE WHERE YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THE TACHOMETER OVER 6,000RPM WITH NO ONE IN THE VEHICLE. THEY HAVE TOLD ME THEY CAN'T HELP ME AT THIS TIME. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT HOW LONG THIS ACTION WILL TAKE AS I NEED MY CAR. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC, TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
MY BRAKES MOMENTARILY FAIL AT TIMES WHEN I PASS OVER UNEVEN SURFACES ON THE ROAD. IT OCCURS A FEW TIMES EVERY WEEK (I COMMUTE ABOUT 20 MILES EVERYDAY). I LIVE IN CHICAGO, AND THIS BRAKE FAILURE OCCURS IN NICE WEATHER AS WELL AS DURING SNOWY OR RAINY CONDITIONS. I HAVE HAD MY TIRES CHECKED, AND THEY ARE NOT THE PROBLEM. THE BRAKE FAILURE BEGAN TO OCCUR WHEN THE CAR WAS NEW. MY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON ALL THE TIME FOR NO REASON. MY MECHANIC HAS A TOYOTA COROLLA TOO AND HE TOLD ME HIS GOES ON ALL THE TIME AS WELL. I JUST PRESS THE TIRE PRESSURE BUTTON IN THE CAR TO MAKE IT GO OFF. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
I AM A SLOW DRIVER AND OBEY SPEED LIMITS. I KNEW I WAS COMING UP TO A STOP SIGN ON A 25 MPH ROAD, AND I ALWAYS DO A REAL STOP, NOT A SLOW DOWN AND CREEP FORWARD. A BLOCK OR TWO PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT, I PASSED SEVERAL POLICE CARS AND EVEN AN UNSAFE DRIVER WOULD HAVE CAREFULLY OBEYED THE TRAFFIC LAWS. I HAVE NO MEMORY OF THE COUPLE OF SECONDS IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO AND DURING THE ACCIDENT, AND MY FIRST MOMENT I SAW WHAT WAS HAPPENING, I HAD MY FOOT ALREADY ON THE BRAKE PUSHING DOWN HARD ON IT BUT HEADING TO THE CURB ANYWAY. I THINK THE CURB STOPPED THE CAR. MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE OFFICER AT THE SCENE WAS SURPRISED. I BELIEVE THIS FITS THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT SUDDEN ACCELERATION. MY CAR WAS TOTALED AND I HAD TO GET A NEW CAR. I'VE ASKED MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO INVESTIGATE, BUT THEY HAVE NOT GOTTEN BACK TO ME. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
2009 TOYOTA COROLLA WITH IDLE CONTROL ISSUES INCLUDING SLOW TO RETURN TO IDLE ON OCCASION. VEHICLE HAS HAD BRAKE VACUUM RECALL COMPLETED AND JUST TODAY THE GAS PEDAL REPAIR. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I FEEL IT IS UP IN THE FUEL CONTROL SYSTEMS AND HAVE TOLD THE DEALER THIS EACH TIME STARTING BACK ON 12/30/09. TOYOTA CORPORATE HAS GIVEN ME A CASE NUMBER BUT THE PERSON HANDLING THE CASE HAS NEVER CALLED AND IS NEVER AVAILABLE. COLD ENGINE ALWAYS HAS HIGH IDLE UP UNTIL FULL OPERATING TEMPERATURE. IT FLUCTUATES FREQUENTLY. ONCE FULL OPERATING TEMPERATURE IS REACHED IT THEN GOES TO A NORMAL IDLE BUT THEN FREQUENTLY STUMBLES AND DROPS BY 200 RPM. ON A FEW TIMES DURING EACH DRIVE OF 45 MINUTES OR MORE IT IS NOTICEABLE THAT THE RPMS ARE SLOW TO RETURN TO IDLE AND VEHICLE KEEPS SPEED WITHOUT TOUCHING THE GAS. *TR

WHILE WAITING AT A STOP LIGHT THE 2004 TOYOTA COROLLA WOULD SURGE FORWARD. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, ROUGHLY 4-5 A YEAR, AND IF THE BRAKE WAS NOT FIRMLY APPLIED CARS IN FRONT OF ME WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT. NO ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO FIX THIS AS IT WAS INCONSEQUENTIAL AT THE TIME. I AM CONCERNED THAT ONE OF THESE TIMES IT MAY NOT BE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
PURCHASED NEW 2003 TOYOTA COROLLA LE IN 2003 AND NEW 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA LE IN 2006. FROM 2003 THRU 2006 SIX INCIDENTS OCCURRED WITH VEHICLE STOPPED AND MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL NOT ON ACCELERATOR PEDAL WHERE ENGINE RACED AS IF CRUISE CONTROL KICKED INTO "RESUME" AND VEHICLE BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. BY REFLEX, I SHIFTED INTO PARK OR SHUT TURNED OFF THE IGNITION KEY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. I REPORTED THE INCIDENTS TO LASSEN TOYOTA, ALBANY OREGON NO RESPONSE FROM THEM. THE 2006 TOYOTA HAD THE SAME INCIDENT OCCUR ONCE IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS. IT HAS THE SAME ENGINE AND EQUIPMENT AS THE 2003 MODEL I OWNED AND I REPORTED THE INCIDENT AGAIN TO LASSEN TOYOTA WITH NO RESPONSE. I AM ON MY GUARD NOW THAT I KNOW THIS OCCURS AND I DON'T PANIC AND KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH IT, BUT ANYONE WHO DOESN'T KEEP A CLEAR HEAD AND KNOW WHAT TO DO INSTINCTIVELY COULD BE IN TROUBLE. I AM SURE THIS IS A COMPUTER PROBLEM THAT HAS SOME LINK TO THE ACCELERATION PROGRAM IN THE CRUISE CONTROL AREA EVEN WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL OFF AND THE CAR IN DRIVE WITH THE FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE FOOT NO WHERE NEAR THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THIS PROBLEM EXISTED IN TWO DIFFERENT YEARS OF THE SAME MODEL TOYOTA. JUST THOUGHT YOU SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THIS DOES OCCUR RANDOMLY IN THESE CARS AND THAT COMPLAINTS ARE IGNORED. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
WHILE DRIVING ON A LOCAL STREET MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, WITHIN SECONDS THERE WAS NO FUEL (POWER) TO DRIVE. I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT GO MORE THAN 5RPM, GOING LESS THAN 5 MPH, THEN CAR JUST SHUT OFF. THIS HAPPENED IN LESS THAN 20 SECONDS. I TRIED TO RE-START THE CAR BUT WITH NO LUCK. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND WITH HELP PUSH THE TO LOCAL REPAIR SHOP, THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS FAULTCODE P0607 AKA "BAD ECM". THE MECHANIC CALLED THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY TOWED THE CAR TO THERE SHOP SINCE IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OF 8 YRS AND/OR UP TO 80,000 MILES. HOWEVER THE PART WAS NOT IN STOCK SO I HAD TO WAIT 2 DAYS. I WAS OUT OF A CAR FOR A TOTAL OF 3 DAYS AND MY LOCAL REPAIR SHOPPED CHARGED $109.00 FOR DIAGNOSED THE CAR. LUCKY FOR ME TOYOTA DEALER WAS NO CHARGE BECAUSE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY 8 YRS, OR 80,000. MY CAR HAD 71,260, HOWEVER I AM STILL NOT HAPPY BECAUSE I COULD HAVE BEEN BADLY INJURED IF I WAS ON A HIGHWAY AND THIS HAD HAPPEN, OR I COULD HAVE HURT SOMEONE ELSE. I AM NOT PLEASED THAT I WAS WITHOUT A CAR FOR 3 DAYS AND INCURRED TRAVEL EXPENSES AND HAD TO PAY MY LOCAL REPAIR SHOP $109.00 WHICH I FEEL TOYOTA SHOULD COVER. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE AS IT CAN BE FATAL. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC
I BROUGHT MY COROLLA 2009 IN NOV 2008 . IN FEB 2009 I TOOK IT TO LANSING ,MI DEALER SAYING BRAKES WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR. I HAD HARD TIME TO STOP MY CAR. THEY SEND ME BACK SAYING NOTHING IS WRONG. THERE WAS A BRAKE RECALL FEW MONTHS LATER. I AM AGAIN FACING THE SAME PROBLEM. I AVOIDED BANGING MY CAR TWICE . I TOOK MY CAR TO TOYOTA DEALER . THE SERVICE PERSONNEL INSTEAD OF LOOKING FOR PROBLEM SAID HE CAN'T HELP ME PUT ON THE BRAKES AS IT WINTER. I TOLD THEM I WANT TO TALK TO HIS SERVICE MANAGER. THE SERVICE MANAGER ASSURED ME THAT HE WILL CHECK THE PROBLEM. THE REAR BRAKES WERE NOT ALIGNED PROPERLY . FRANKLY I CAN'T TRUST THAT CAR. I FEEL THAT CARS 2 BASIC FUNCTIONALITIES WENT WRONG. 1. BRAKE 2. GAS PEDAL. IF TOYOTA CAN'T GET 2 BASIC THINGS RIGHT THEY SHOULD STOP MAKING CARS. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENT I'VE EXPERIENCE WITH AN ENGINE SURGE AND UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. I WAS DRIVING APPROX. 25MPH TOWARDS AN INTERSECTION. THE LIGHT AHEAD WAS RED, SO I TOOK MY FOOT ENTIRELY OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR AND LET THE CAR COAST. IT GRADUALLY SLOWED DOWN AS IT ALWAYS DOES, NOTHING UNUSUAL. AS I CAME UP ON THE RED LIGHT I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND ROLLED TO A SOFT STOP. I WAITED AT A RED LIGHT WITH MY FOOT RESTING ENTIRELY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. ALL OF A SUDDEN--THE FIRST THING I NOTICED WAS THE SOUND--THE ENGINE ROARED AND THE CAR TRIED TO RACE FORWARD DESPITE MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. I PRESSED HARDER ON THE BRAKE TO NO AVAIL. THE CAR WAS FIGHTING AGAINST ME WANTING TO RACE FORWARD. THERE WAS A STOPPED CAR AHEAD OF ME AND I WAS TRYING NOT TO CRASH INTO IT. IN DESPERATION I STOOD UP ON THE BRAKES AS HARD AS I COULD AND THE CAR SKID. I HAD TO STEER INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO AVOID REAR ENDING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I PULLED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND THE CAR CAME TO A STOP DIAGONAL ACROSS TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO TOYOTA FOR A SECOND TIME. DEALER RAN EXTENSIVE TESTS ON ELECTRONIC AND ENGINE SYSTEMS AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. THEY STATED THAT THE COMPUTER "HISTORY" SHOWED NO RECORD OF THE INCIDENT. THEY OFFERED NO EXPLANATION NOR ANY REMEDY. I AM FRUSTRATED BEYOND BELIEF THAT TOYOTA IS HIDING BEHIND "WE CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG" AND IS NOT TRYING HARDER TO FIND THE CAUSE. THERE ARE NO FLOOR MATS IN MY CAR, AND THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS WITH THE GAS PEDAL. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE VERY CLEAR THAT MY FOOT WAS ENTIRELY OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL FOR AT LEAST 15 SECONDS PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. I AM CONVINCED THAT THIS INCIDENT WAS CAUSED BY A COMPUTER MIS-FIRE OR ELECTRONIC MALFUNCTION THAT CAUSED THE ENGINE TO OPEN FULL-THROTTLE WHILE THE CAR WAS STOPPED AND BRAKES ENGAGED. TOYOTA DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG, AND THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT --THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM! PEOPLES LIVES ARE AT STAKE! *TR
