2006 Toyota Corolla complaints

ON 3, AUGUST 2009, I DROPPED OFF MY TOYOTA COROLLA, YEAR 2006, TO POWER TOYOTA, IRVINE, CA DUE TO THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY LUNGES FORWARD WHEN ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS BARELY TOUCHED. WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR, THE VEHICLE STILL LUNGES FORWARD WHEN BARELY TOUCHING GAS PEDAL. THUS, IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO SERVICE, ASKED TO HAVE THE ISSUE LUNGING FORWARD LOOKED AT AGAIN. POWER TOYOTA SERVICE TEAM ASSIGNED A MECHANIC TO RIDE ALONG WITH ME FOR A TEST DRIVE. DURING THE TEST DRIVE, THE MECHANIC AGREED THE LUNGING FORWARD FROM A DEAD STOP IS NOT NORMAL AND WE DROVE BACK TO POWER TOYOTA FACILITY. ONCE ARRIVED AT TOYOTA, THE MECHANIC WENT TO TALK TO HIS SUPERVISOR AND A DIFFERENT MECHANIC CAME OUT AND LOOKED AT THE CAR. THE SECOND MECHANIC STATED 'THIS IS NORMAL FOR TOYOTA', DISMISSING THE FIRST MECHANICS OBSERVATIONS. I ASKED FOR THE FIRST MECHANIC, THE SECOND MECHANIC STATED 'THE MECHANIC (FIRST) IS NOT AVAILABLE. IF I WISH, I COULD HAVE THE ELECTRONIC ACCELERATOR PARTS REPLACED, BUT I WILL NEED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR/SERVICE AND THE EXPENSE WILL NOT BE COVERED BY TOYOTA. RECENTLY I CONTACTED POWER TOYOTA TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE MY VEHICLE'S ACCELERATOR SYSTEM INSPECTED, POWER TOYOTA SAID 'SINCE THE VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, I WILL NEED TO CONTACT TOYOTA'S CONSUMER DEPARTMENT, POWER TOYOTA CANNOT DO ANYTHING'. THUS, CONTACTED TOYOTA CONSUMER DEPARTMENT AND VERBALLY MADE A COMPLAINT ON SAID ISSUE. 'VEHICLE ABRUPTLY LUNGES FORWARD WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PETAL IS BA

WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA CE IT STALLED AT AN INTERSECTION EFFECTING STEERING AND BRAKING AFTER IT STALLED IT TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO GET THE CAR TO START AND RUN. WHILE RETURNING HOME IT STALLED TWO MORE TIMES, WHILE I WAS DRIVING I ALSO NOTICE THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PASTED 20 MPH EVEN WHILE PUSHING THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN AND HARD SHIFTED INTO DRIVE. *TR

MY TOYOTA COROLLA HAS ACCELERATED UNEXPECTEDLY SEVERAL TIMES, GENERALLY WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS AROUND 32 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED IT, I REAR-ENDED A PICKUP TRUCK AFTER A RED LIGHT HAD TURNED GREEN. THE SECOND TIME, I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AND THE CAR SHOT BACKWARDS 30' INTO A POST (DENTING MY BUMPER AND BREAKING THE REAR DRIVERS' SIDE LIGHTS). THE THIRD TIME, NOTHING WAS BROKEN - I WAS THE ONLY PERSON ON THE ROAD - BUT IT SCARED THE BEJESUS OUT OF ME. I CALLED TOYOTA TO COMPLAIN AND THEY SAID THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY CAR. MY BELIEF IS THAT THERE ARE ACCELERATOR / ELECTRONICS PROBLEMS WITH THE TOYOTA COROLLA THAT THEY ARE NOT ADMITTING.

DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND MY ACCELERATOR DIDN'T WORK. THE ENGINE WAS STILL ON BUT WHEN I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR IT DIDN'T REGISTER THAT I WAS PRESSING THE FOOT. TOWED TO TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT SOME ECM - ENGINE CONTROL COMPONENTS WERE DEFECTIVE AND THEY REPLACED THE ENGINE COMPUTER. DIDN'T THINK IT NECESSARY TO DO A RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS ONLY IN SOME CARS. *CN

I WAS CHANGING LANES FROM THE LEFT HAND LANE TO THE RIGHT HAND LANE IN A 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE VEHICAL ACCELERATED SUDDENLY LEFT THE ROAD WENT THROUGH THE CABLE BARRIER AND OVER TURNED IN OPPOSING LANES. I WAS KNOCKED UNCONCIOUS. THIS HAPPENED AT 6:00 ON 7/15/2009 ON I 10 IN BORNE, TX. *CN

COULD NOT CONTROL GAS ACCELERATION ON 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA. *TR

THE 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA CRASHED INTO THE BACK OF OUR GARAGE AS MY HUSBAND WAS ATTEMPTING TO PARK IT. HE STEPPED ON THE BRAKE AND THE CAR ACCELERATED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WITH MY 3YR OLD SON WHEN MY CARS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT POPPED ON AND THE CAR TURNED OFF AND IMMEDIATELY STARTED SLOWING DOWN. IT WAS NIGHT TIME AND AFTER A LARGE SNOW STORM SO I WAS UNABLE TO GET OFF THE SHOULDER FULLY. LUCKILY A POLICE OFFICER CAME AND SAID I WAS IN A VERY DANGEROUS POSITION AND THAT SHE WAS GOING TO SPEED UP THE PROCESS BY CALLING A TOW AGENCY HERSELF. SHE THEN CORNERED HER CAR WITH LIGHTS ON TO ADD SOME SAFETY. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE THEY STATED NOTHING WAS PHYSICALLY WRONG WITH THE CAR BUT THE COMPUTER HAD DIED. I CALLED TOYOTA TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANYTHING THAT THEY COULD DO AND THEY STATED THEY WERE AWARE THIS WAS A STANDARD PROBLEM BUT SINCE THE CAR WAS OVER 80,000 MILES THAT IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND WOULD BE FULL PRICE TO FIX. I STATED THAT I FELT WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR THEY NEEDED TO INFORM ME THAT AFTER 80,000 MILES MY CAR HAD THE POTENTIAL TO SHUT DOWN AT ANYTIME. I CAN ASSURE YOU I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED IT. I HAD TO ORDER A NEW PART WHICH IS STILL NOT GUARANTEED. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SCAM BY TOYOTA TO ENSURE THAT THEY ARE STILL MAKING MONEY ON CARS EVEN WHEN YOU TAKE THE BEST OF CARE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BEING APPLIED WHILE DRIVING AT LOWER SPEEDS. ON FOUR OCCASIONS WHEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED A CRASH OCCURRED EACH TIME. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE CONTACT HAS TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TWICE WHO STATED THAT THE BRAKES CAUSED THE FAILURE SINCE THEY WERE UNAWARE OF THE FLOOR MAT OR THE STICKY PEDAL RECALL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES TO OCCUR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,664.

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

2006 TOYOTA COROLLA, GAS PEDAL FAILED TO ACCELERATE ENGINE AT CRITICAL TIME WHEN CROSSING HIGHWAY FROM SHOPPING STRIP. CAR WAS STOPPED BLOCKING TRAFFIC NARROWLY ESCAPING A COLLISION AND I HAD TO PUSH THE CAR OFF THE HIGHWAY BY HAND. VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY WITH 47618 MILES. TOYOTA REPAIRED THE VEHICLE FREE OF CHARGE. THEY REPLACED THE COMPUTER ENGINE CONTROLLER. *TR

THROTTLE BODY HAS SHOT DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY RIGHT ON THE MIDDLE OF ON THE ROAD. THE CAR HAS BEEN FULLY DISABLED SINCE GAS DID NOT GO TO THE ENGINE. OCCUR FOR FIRST TIME. THROTTLE BODY HAS BEEN REPLACED BY TAKING FROM USED CAR. MASTER SAY IT JUST STOPPED TO FUNCTION. *TR

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

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

THE ENGINE ON MY 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA HAS HAD AN ENGINE SERGE PROBLEM. WHEN THE CAR HAD ABOUT 26,000 MILES ON IT, I HAD A COUPLE OF INCIDENTS WHERE I WOULD BE STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHT WITH MY FOOT ON BRAKE. THE ENGINE WOULD SERGE UP TO 4RPMS. IT WAS ALL I COULD DO TO KEEP FROM HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS SO SHOOK UP, I CALLED DEALER AND INSISTED THEY TAKE CAR AND CHECK IT OUT. THEY KEPT THE CAR OVERNIGHT, AND BY THE END OF THE NEXT DAY HAD DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY WORKBOOT. THE GAS PEDAL WAS SO CLOSE TO THE BREAK, THAT THE EDGE OF MY BOOT WAS HITTING THE GAS. I HAD A HARD TIME ACCEPTING THAT, BECAUSE I MADE A POINT TO KEEP MY FOOT ON THE BREAK WHEN THE INCIDENT WAS HAPPENING. I HAVEN'T HAD ANOTHER SERGE PROBLEM, BUT I DID HAVE A HIGH IDOL PROBLEM. TOYOTA REPLACED THE COMPUTER CHIP FREE OF CHARGE. I THOUGHT THAT WAS GREAT BECAUSE I HAD 36,895 MILES ON CAR AND MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. I NOW HAVE 53,000 MILES ON CAR AND THE HIGH IDOL IS GETTING BAD AGAIN. THE RECENT RECALL ON GAS PEDAL HAS ME CONCERNED. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM GOES BEYOND THE GAS PEDAL. I AM SENDING THIS EMAIL, TO GIVE YOU MORE DATA. HOPEFULLY, OTHERS WILL DO THE SAME. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING WESTBOUND ON I-80 AT APPROXIMATELY 55-60 MILES PER HOUR DURING LIGHT RAIN. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL BUT THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL A FEW TIMES, BUT THE BRAKING SYSTEM WAS NON-RESPONSIVE. I REALIZED I WOULD SOON BE APPROACHING THE CAR AHEAD OF ME, SO I LOOKED IN MY MIRRORS AND OVER BOTH SHOULDERS TO DETERMINE THE LOCATIONS OF OTHER VEHICLES. I WANTED TO CHANGE LANES SO THAT I HAD MORE TIME TO ATTEMPT OTHER CORRECTIVE ACTIONS. WHEN I BEGAN THE LANE CHANGE AND WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS CONTINUING TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE SPUN OUT AND I HIT THE CENTER DIVIDE HEAD-ON. THE ACCIDENT STALLED THE MOTOR. A HIGHWAY PATROL OFFICER ARRIVED ON SCENE, BUT AFTER ARRIVING HAD TO LEAVE TO GO TO A MAJOR-INJURY CRASH. *TR

2006 TOYOTA COROLLA "S" / 52760 MILES I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND APPROACHING A RED STOP LIGHT, I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND WAS NEARLY AT A COMPLETE STOP (COULD NOT HAVE BEEN GOING MORE THAN 2-3MPH). ALL OF A SUDDEN WITHOUT WARNING, THE ENGINE SURGED AND THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD--DESPITE THE FACT THAT I THE BRAKES WERE BEING PRESSED. I IMMEDIATELY PRESSED HARDER ON THE BRAKES AND GOT NO REACTION, SO I JAMMED BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AS HARD AS I COULD, THE WHEELS LOCKED AND I SKID APPROXIMATELY 10 FEET! I HAD TO STEER OUT OF THE WAY OF REAR-ENDING THE STOPPED CAR AHEAD OF ME. ALL OF THIS HAPPENED IN ABOUT A THREE SECOND TIME FRAME. IT WAS LITERALLY A MIRACLE THAT I DID NOT RAM INTO THE CAR AHEAD OF ME. ONCE THE CAR CAME TO A STOP, EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL AGAIN, AND THE CAR DROVE FINE AS IF NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND SOLE DRIVER OF THIS CAR AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS. IT WAS AS IF SOME OUTSIDE FORCE HAD CONTROL OVER THE CAR AND I COULD NOT STOP IT. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUSLY INJURY OR DEATH. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY TOYOTA SERVICE DEPT. AND THE TECHNICIAN I SPOKE TO TOLD ME HE "NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING" OR THAT "MAYBE PERHAPS THE FLOOR MAT WAS INVOLVED". I CURRENTLY HAVE NO FLOOR MATS IN THIS VEHICLE SO THAT WAS NOT THE CAUSE. I AM BRINGING THE CAR INTO TOYOTA. HOWEVER IN RESEARCHING THIS INCIDENT ONLINE, I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS EXPERIENCED THIS SUDDEN LURCHING AND LOSS OF CONTROL. TOYOTA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS

AFTER STARTING A 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA WITH APPROXIMATELY 26,000 MILEAGE AND LEAVING PARKING GARAGE, CAR LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER TURNING KEY OFF, WAS ABLE TO RESTART ON THIRD TRY. WITH THE RESTART, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. DROVE HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT AND MADE APPOINTMENT WITH TOYOTA DEALER. WAS ABLE TO RESTART CAR TO TAKE TO DEALER AND IN TRYING TO COMPLETE THE 10 MILES OR SO ON LOW SPEED ROADS, THE CAR REPEATEDLY LOST POWER UNTIL THE 8TH OR 9TH TIME WHEN IT WOULD NOT RESTART. CAR WAS TOWED THE LAST 2-3 MILES. DEALER SAID A NEWER FIRMWARE VERSION WAS REQUIRED. PRINT-OUT SAID THE ECM WAS REPLACED. THIS WAS DONE WITHOUT CHARGE AND DEALER WAS COOPERATIVE. THE SITUATION WAS DANGEROUS AND IT WAS FORTUNATE THAT THE POWER LOSS WAS NOT ON A HIGH SPEED ROAD. *TR

PURCHASED 2006 COROLLA IN FEB 2006, IN AUGUST OF 2007 CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON,STEERING LOCKED UP. BROUGHT IT TO TOYOTA DEALER, REPLACED ECU, WAITED 1MONTH BECAUSE OF BACKORDER OF PART. JANUARY 2010 CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, STEERING LOCKED UP, TOOK TO TOYOTA DEALER , ECU REPLACED FOR THE SECOND TIME, THIS TIME I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT. *TR

CAR: 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA LE WHEN DRIVING THE CAR AROUND A TURN, ACCELERATOR PEDAL LOST POWER, THE CAR STALLED AND THE ENGINE DIED. THIS HAPPENED WITHIN A FEW SECONDS. ON TRYING TO RESTART, THE CAR SPUTTERED FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN DIED AGAIN. AND, AFTER THAT THE CAR ENGINE WOULD NOT START AT ALL. THERE WAS NO POWER IN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AT ALL. MAINTENANCE IS UP TO DATE ON THE CAR AND ITS AT THE CAR SHOP RIGHT NOW. THIS WAS A SCARY MOMENT, BECAUSE IF I HAD BEEN ON THE FREEWAY, IT WOULD HAVE DEFINITELY LED TO A CRASH. PLEASE TAKE APPROPRIATE STEPS TO INVESTIGATE THIS. *TR

I OWN A 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA CE. I HAVE HAD THE SAME TYPE OF SUDDEN ACCELERATION PROBLEMS THAT LED TO THE TWO RECALLS YOU HAVE ISSUED ON OTHER TOYOTA MODELS AND YEARS. PLEASE INSTITUTE A RECALL FOR MY MODEL AND YEAR TOYOTA. *TR UPDATED IVOQ 10/20/10

THE WHEELS OF MY 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA WERE RUSTING, WHILE UNDER WARRANTY THE DEALER REMOVED THEM AND REPAINTED THEM. NOW THEY ARE RUSTING AGAIN WITH ONLY 19,000 MILES ON THE CAR. *TR

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

HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL DIE BEFORE NHSTA ACTS . MY FAMILY WE WOULD HAVE DIED. *TR

THIS ABOUT A TIRE CALLED RIKEN RAPTOR'S. I NOW HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TWICE WHERE THE TOP PART OF THE TIRE COMES OFF THE SIDE WALLS, IT HAPPENED IN AUGUST AS WELL. THE TIRES WERE PERFECTLY FINE AS FAR AS AIR GOES AS I MAINTAIN MY CAR. BUT FOR A 2ND ONE TO HAVE HAPPENED TO ME TELLS ME THERE IS A PROBLEM AND I WOULD HOPE SOMEONE WOULD LOOK INTO THIS. I FOUND A THREAD VIA GOGGLE THAT HAD MANY OF THE EXACT SAME ISSUE ON THESE TIRES. MICHILEN IS THE MFG OF THEM AND THEY JUST TELL PEOPLE ITS A CASE OF TO LITTLE AIR. HOW WOULD THEY KNOW 1ST OF ALL AND I DO KNOW IT WAS INFLATED CORRECTLY. I TRIED CALLING THE RETAILER BUT GOT NO WHERE SO TRYING HERE SO AS NO ONE ELSE GETS HURT FROM THESE TIRES. I WAS LUCKY ONLY A FENDER LINER AND MINOR BODY DAMAGE AFTER IT BLEW OF AT 65MPH. *TR

I CURRENTLY HAVE A 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA. IT FREQUENTLY SHUTS COMPLETELY OFF. SEVERAL TIMES I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN OR SIGNAL LIGHT AND IT DIES. I PUT IT INTO PARK AND IT DOES EVENTUALLY START UP AGAIN. MY HUSBAND WAS ENTERING THE FREEWAY, ON THE ON-RAMP, AND THE CAR DIED. THIS HAS HAPPENED THROUGHOUT THIS YEAR. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA, WITH INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH THE ACCELERATION OF THE CAR. I TOOK IT IN AND THE DEALER IS SAYING THAT THERE IS NOT PROBLEM WITH THE ACCELERATION OF THE CARE. BUT THEY SAID THERE IS A BAD THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR AND THAT IT WOULD COST WE $1200.00 TO REPAIR. (THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED 3 OF 4 TIMES IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS. THEY ARE SAY IS CODE # P0121. THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR OUT OF RANGE. *TR

2006 TOYOTA COROLLA SUDDENLY STALLED IN AN INTERSECTION. FORTUNATELY NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED BUT CAR WAS HARD TO RESTART AND RAN POORLY. CHECK ENGINE AND MAINTENANCE REQUIRED LIGHTS CAME ON. FAULT CODE SHOWED P0607. HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALER AND ECU WAS REPLACED. DEALER SAID THEY ARE BUSY REPLACING A BUNCH OF THESE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON SURFACE STREETS AT APPROX 35 MPH. THE ENGINE IN MY 2006 COROLLA JUST TOPPED. I DESCRIBED IT AS "POWERED DOWN." I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TURNED IT OFF, WAITED A SECOND, THEN TURNED IT BACK ON. THE CAR STARTED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON. I DROVE STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE COMPUTER AND THE WHOLE THING WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THE MATTER WAS HANDLED ON ONE DAY FROM INCIDENT TO NEW COMPUTER. IT HA NOT HAPPENED AGAIN. *TR

(BULLETIN # EG042-07) HAVE NOT HAD ANY OTHER PROBLEMS SINCE NEW ECM (#89661-02K21) WAS INSTALLED. *TR

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

I OWN A 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA. ON NOVEMBER 11TH, AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR STALLED. I WAS ABLE TO COAST THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST TOYOTA DEALER. THE COMPUTER, THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE, HAD TO BE REPLACED. AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE I HAD APPROXIMATELY 81,000 MILES ON MY CAR AND THE WARRANTY COVERED THE COMPUTER UP TO 80, 000 MILES. I PAID TO HAVE THE COMPUTER REPLACED AND TOYOTA SHOULD BE REIMBURSING ME $300 OF THE TOTAL $978 BILL. *TR

ON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2009, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN MY 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA LE. ONCE THE LIGHT CAME ON, THE CAR HAD A "HARD SHIFT". ON FRIDAY OCTOBER 30, 2009, I TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND HAD THE DIAGNOSTICS RUN, WHICH INDICATED A FAULTY P2716 PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID "D" ELECTRICAL. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE THE COMPUTER REPLACED ($900) AND THAT THE CAR COULD SHUT OFF ON ME WHILE IN OPERATION IF I DID NOT. AFTER I HAD IT REPLACED, I LOOKED IT UP ON THE INTERNET. TURNS OUT THAT TOYOTA WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BASED ON A 9/2006 SERVICE BULLETIN, BUT CHOSE TO NOT ISSUE A RECALL. I HAVE A 110 MILE ROUND TRIP COMMUTE DAILY AND AFTER READING HUNDREDS OF POSTING FROM OTHERS THAT HAVE ENCOUNTERED THIS PROBLEM, I COUNT MYSELF LUCKY. MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE CAR STOP ON THEM GOING 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. I WAS LUCKY, BUT IT COULD HAVE TURNED OUT DEADLY. THERE ARE INCIDENTS OF ACCIDENTS OCCURRING DUE TO FAULTY P2716'S. IT IS NOT A MATTER OF IF IT GOES OUT, BUT WHEN. I THINK TOYOTA SHOULD BE OBLIGATED TO NOTIFY THE OWNERS OF THE 2006 COROLLA LE'S THAT THE PART IS FAULTY AND TO HAVE IT REPLACED. *TR

MY 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA CE WOULD NOT STOP WHEN I EXITED OFF I-5 AT THE 128TH ST EXIT NEAR MILLCREEK WA. THE ENGINE WAS RACING AND I FLOORED THE BRAKE AND THREW THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL TO AVOID A HUGE CRASH INTO THE VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN 2006 AND THE COMPUTER HAS HAD TO HAVE TWO REPLACEMENTS. THE CAR WOULD NOT RUN WITHOUT WARNING AND HAS HAD TO BE TOWED. I AM FEARFUL OF MY SAFETY AND THAT OF MY PASSENGERS IN THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE HAD LITTLE EXPLANATION AT THE DEALERSHIP EXCEPT THAT THIS IS 'RARE'. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO TAKE THE MATS OUT OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE CAR ALTOGETHER, BUT I'M POSITIVE THE FAILURE TO STOP HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH STUCK MATS. THIS ALL SEEMS CONNECTED TO THE PROBLEM I'VE HAD FROM THE VERY BEGINNING WITH THE CAR'S COMPUTER FAILURES. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA. IT HAS A HISTORY OF SURGE PROBLEM EXACTLY LIKE THE SURGE ISSUE ACKNOWLEDGED BY TOYOTA ON THE LEXUS. HOWEVER, TOYOTA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE PROBLEM WITH ISSUE ON 2006 COROLLA. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN TO SERVICE TWICE WITH THIS ISSUE. I WAS ALMOST THROWN INTO 50 MILE PER HR TRAFFIC. *TR

I OWN A 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA. THIS YEAR AND MODEL OF VEHICLE HAS WIDESPREAD PROBLEMS WITH AN ENGINE CONTROL MODULE WHICH CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO CEASE ACCELERATION DURING DRIVING. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON INTERSTATE 77 WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURRED. LUCKILY, HE WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT A CAR ACCIDENT. TOYOTA WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM, YET REFUSES TO RECALL THIS PART SAYING THAT IT IS NOT A "SAFETY ISSUE." I PERSONALLY KNOW OF OTHER DRIVERS WHO HAVE INCURRED THE SAME PROBLEM IN THEIR VEHICLES. I ALSO WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT THE RESPONSE IS DIFFERENT IN CARS WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION, WHICH IS WHAT WE OWN. KNOWING THE DETAILS OF THE CASE, THE COMPANY STILL REFUSED TO OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE, EVEN THOUGH THE REPAIR CALLS FOR A TOTALLY DIFFERENT PART, AND THAT THE OLD PART IS DEFECTIVE. OWNERS WHO DO NOT HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF THIS PROBLEM COULD BE SURPRISED BY A SUDDEN STOP IN THEIR VEHICLE, AND COULD BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AS THE PROBLEM DOES OCCUR DURING DRIVING. *TR

MY DAUGHTER RAN OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE HWY, BACK ACROSS TO RIGHT SIDE OF HWY, INTO A DITCH, HIT A CULVERT, ROLLED & FLIPPED SEVERAL TIMES, TOTALED VEHICLE, AIR BAGS ON EITHER SIDE DEPLOYED. SHE WAS PROBABLY RUNNING 40-50 MPH WHEN SHE HIT THE CULVERT AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

HELLO, I AM WRITING TO YOU IN RELATION TO A RECENT PROBLEM I HAD WITH MY 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE SHORT STORY IS THAT THE CAR'S ENGINE DIED WHILE DRIVING AND WOULDN'T RESTART. I HAD TO TOW THE CAR TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS INSPECTED AND FOUND THAT THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE (ECM) HAD FAILED (ERROR CODE P0607) AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. SINCE THE CAR IS STILL RELATIVELY NEW, I WAS ASTONISHED TO FIND THAT THE "BRAIN" OF THE CAR IS OUT OF ORDER AND HAS TO BE REPLACED. WHAT'S WORSE IS THAT THIS PROBLEM COULD CAUSE HIGHLY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS WHERE THE CAR'S ENGINE STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH. MANY PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND DESCRIBE SUCH CASES WHERE EITHER THE CAR'S ENGINE DIES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, OR THE CAR LEAVES PEOPLE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE AND WON'T START AT ALL (HTTP://WWW.TOYOTANATION.COM/FORUM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=201631). TOYOTA HAS ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM: TSB EG042-07 (HTTP://WWW.TUNDRASOLUTIONS.COM/FORUMS/ATTACHMENTS/COROLLA-MATRIX/27763D1201041193-2006-OBDII-CODE-P0607-06-CORROLLA-TSB.PDF). INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET SUGGESTS THAT FAULTY SOLENOIDS ON THE ECM BOARD ARE CAUSING THE COMPUTER TO GO CRAZY. GIVEN THE SEVERITY OF THE PROBLEM, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT TOYOTA SHOULD BE LEAVING ALL COROLLA AND MATRIX DRIVERS GET STUCK ON THE ROAD BEFORE REPLACING THE FAULTY PARTS. I BELIEVE THAT FOR ANY SUCH ROAD HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS WHERE THE MANUFACTURER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT
