ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA CE ON THE FREEWAY AT 65 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY TURNED OFF. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER TO AVOID GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE ECM UNIT AND RESET THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE DEALER KEPT THE OLD ECM UNIT AND DID NOT CHARGE ME FOR THE WORK WHICH WAS UNDER WARRANTY. MY CAR WAS 4 YEARS OLD AND ONLY HAD 28150 MILES ON IT WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I FOUND OUT THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM BY CHECKING OUT THE TOYOTANATION.COM WEBSITE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
SUDDEN ACCELERATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IN 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA - ON 11-24-09 TRAVELING SOUTH ON HIGHWAY 5 IN CALIFORNIA NEAR BUTTONWILOW AT APPROXIMATELY 70-75 MILES PER HOUR IN THE FAST LANE, PROBABLY WHILE ON CRUISE CONTROL, CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE, HIT THE BRAKE WHICH HAD NO EFFECT, AND IF IT HAD BEEN ON CRUISE CONTROL, IT DID NOT OVERRIDE THE ACCELERATION. I BEGAN TO GET CLOSER TO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I DO NOT BELIEVE I INITIALLY TRIED TO PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL. I TURNED OFF THE CAR ENGINE, THE ACCELERATION STOPPED, I HIT THE BRAKE SOMEWHAT TO GET IT DOWN TO A REGULAR SPEED, PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL, STARTED IT WHILE COASTING, PUT IT BACK INTO GEAR (MANUAL TRANSMISSION), AND THE CRISIS WAS OVER. THEN, ABOUT AN HOUR LATER, WHILE ON THE GRAPEVINE PORTION OF HWY 5 AFTER THE SUMMIT, IT DID THE SAME THING WITH LESSER TRAFFIC. I PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL THIS TIME, HIT THE BRAKE, SLOWED A LITTLE, PUT IT BACK INTO GEAR AND SINCE THEN IT HAS NOT OCCURRED. SEE NEXT PARAGRAPH. OVER THE PAST 3 YEARS, THEIR HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF ADDITIONAL OCCASIONS WITH A DIFFERENT ISSUE WHERE: 1) MY FOOT HAS SLIPPED OFF THE BRAKE ONTO THE ACCELERATOR CAUSING THE ENGINE TO REV WHEN IN NEUTRAL IN THE DRIVEWAY OR A STOPLIGHT (I THINK BECAUSE THE PEDALS ARE SMALL AND VERY CLOSE TO ONE ANOTHER), AND; 2) OCCASIONS WHEN THE ACCELERATOR HAS GOT STUCK UNDER THE FLOORMAT WHEN THE FLOORMAT HAD SLID FORWARD CAUSING THE CAR TO ACCELERATE. REGARDING THE HIGHWAY ACCELERATION PROBLEM, THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. *TR
