UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE AFTER DRIVING IT FOR ABOUT 110K MILES TO THE WORK AND LEISURE, BUT IT SUDDENLY STARTED "JERKING" I TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP WHERE NO RESULTS CAME BACK AFTER CONNECTING IT TO A DIAGNOSIS COMPUTER. THE JERKING PROBLEM INCREASED, AND THE TRANSMISSION SOLENOIDS WERE REPLACED AS WELL AS AN OIL CHANGE WAS DONE. PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED. I'VE BEEN DOING SOME RESEARCH, AND SEEMS THE TRANSMISSION FOR THIS SPECIFIC CAR MODEL HAS BEEN FAILING. VERY EXPENSIVE FIX, AND I GUESS TO REPLACE TO ANOTHER "FAULTY" TRANSMISSION FOR THIS MODEL OF VEHICLE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
THE CAR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS SHIFT VERY HARD. THE MECHANIC REPLACED PRESSURE SOLENOID VALVE. I WAS INFORMED THAT ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE IS BAD. THE SYMPTOMS ARE SIMILAR TO A VOLUNTEER SAFETY RECALL A0J FOR 2007-2008 COROLLA MODELS EQUIPPED WITH 1ZZ-FE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE. THE ECM FOR CERTAIN 2005 THROUGH 2008 TOYOTA COROLLA AND COROLLA MATRIX MODELS EQUIPPED WITH THE 1ZZ-FE ENGINE AND TWO-WHEEL DRIVE MAY HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY MANUFACTURED. THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT A CRACK MAY DEVELOP AT CERTAIN SOLDER POINTS OR ON VARISTORS ON THE CIRCUIT BOARD. IN MOST CASES, IF A CRACK OCCURS AT CERTAIN POINTS OR ON CERTAIN VARISTORS, THE ENGINE WARNING LAMP COULD BE ILLUMINATED*, HARSH SHIFTING COULD RESULT, OR THEENGINE MAY NOT START. IN LIMITED INSTANCES, IF CRACKING OCCURS ON PARTICULAR SOLDER POINTS OR VARISTORS, THE ENGINE COULD STOP WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN WHICH MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.

TAKATA RECALL ACCORDING TO MY RECALL LETTER THERE IS CURRENTLY NO SOLUTION AND I WILL BE NOTIFIED WHEN THERE IS ONE. MEANWHILE, THE SUGGESTION IS THAT I NOT HAVE ANYONE SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THIS INHIBITS MY LIFE AND DRIVING HABITS GREATLY; PARTICULARLY IN FLORIDA HEAT WITH NO VENTS IN THE BACK SEAT.

ENGINE
2009 TOYOTA COROLLA, ENGINE WILL GO INTO A "MODE" WHERE IT REVS UP TO 2000 RPM ON ITS OWN. PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL WILL NOT DO ANYTHING, STILL STAYS ON 2000 RPM UNTIL ENGINE IS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED, ONE SHOP SUGGESTED I REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY ($1400) DID AND STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. ALSO REPLACED THE GAS PEDAL ASSY. ($35.00 USED) STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. CAR MAY GO DAYS OR WEEKS BETWEEN EVENTS. WHEN IT HAPPENS ON A FREEWAY, IT IS VERY BAD, THE CAR SLOWS AND YOU CAN NOT ACCELERATE IN ANY WAY, YOU MUST PULL OVER AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTART TO GET THE CAR TO MOVE. VERY DANGEROUS! THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN TRAVELING AT 65MPH AND ALSO AT 5MPH COMING TO A STOP SIGN.

MY WIFE WAS TRAVELLING ON I-270 NEAR COLUMBUS, OH ON 6/19/2016 AFTERNOON (AROUND 2 PM) IN A TOYOTA COROLLA S 2009. SHE TOOK AN EXIT 22B AT AROUND 60-65 MPH AND THE VEHICLE AFTER GIVING BRIEF BEEPS SUFFERED FROM AN ABRUPT ENGINE STALL. SHE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE MOMENTARILY AS THE STEERING AND BREAK JAMMED. SHE REGAINED CONTROL AFTER GREAT EFFORT AND PULLED OVER THE VEHICLE AT THE ROADSIDE. THE CAR DID NOT START IMMEDIATELY BUT STARTED AFTER ABOUT 30 MINS AND RAN PROPERLY AFTER THAT BUT WITH SOME MINOR VIBRATION POST 60 MPH SPEED.

ENGINE
I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH EXCESIVE AMOUNT OF OIL CONSUMPTION SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS CONSUMING OIL WHILE DOING RANDOM CHECKS ON THE CAR. AFTER THAT I LOOKED ON-LINE FOR SOLUTION AND FOUND PAGES AFTER PAGE AND WEBSITE AFTER WEBSITE OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE SINCE 2009 TO NOW AND TOYOTA NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I SINCE CONTINUED CHECKING AND TOPING THE ENGINE OIL UNTIL DECEMBER WHEN MY CAR STARTED TO STALL WHEN I STOPPED AT A LIGHT. IT WOULD TRY TO IDLE AROUND 500-600 RPM BUT COULDNT AND THEN THE ENGINE WOULD BRING IT UP TO 800 RPM. I HAD IT DIAGNOSED AND TURNED OUT MY PISTON RINGS ARE THE PROBLEM. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION ONLINE I SAW THAT THE PISTON AND PISTON RINGS ARE THE PROBLEM ON THE TOYOTA 2ZRFE ENGINE AND MAY OTHER ENGINES. I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND SCHEDULED A DAY TO HAVE THIS CHECKED WHEN I GOT THERE IN FEBURAY I WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN DOESNT HAVE THIS ISSUE I EXPLAINED I AM HAVING THIS ISSUE AND WAS TURNED AWAY. I CALLED 1800 NUMBER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO ISSUE AND THE ONLINE IS JUST THAT PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT A PROBLEM THAT DOESNT EXIST. UNTIL APRIL WHEN MY ENGINE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FAST. WHEN I WENT ON THE HIGH WAY WITH IT IT FELT LIKE MY ENGINE POWER WAS A 3RD OR LESS BECUASE I WAS HAVING HARD TIME ACCELERATING FASTER THAN SEMIS WHO WERE STARTING FROM STAND STILL. SINCE THEN I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH BBB AND ATTORNEY GENERAL AND GOT A CALL FROM "TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CASE #1606030224" AND WAS TOLD BY JEFFERY MOORE THAT THE KITS FOR THE FIX ARE SHIPPING NOW AND TO TAKE IT FOR REPAIR ON 5/26/2016 AND I TOOK THE CAR IN A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER AND THEY CHECKED THE OIL AND PUT STICKERS ON THE CAR AND TOLD ME TO COME BACK AFTER 1100 MILES. AFTER TWO DAYS OF DOING THAT I GOT AN EMAIL AND A CALL. I CALLED BACK AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WILL NOT FIX IT AND THEY CONTACTED THE REGIONAL MANAGE AND HE SAID NO.
