I GOT THE CARE HOME AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. AFTER READING THE OWNERS MANUAL IT EXPLAINED THAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN THE GAS CAP POSSIBLY. REMOVED AND REINSTALLED IT THE CAR SEEMED TO RUN FINE, THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. THE NEXT DAY I WAS DRIVING AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED, THE CAR HAVE NOW DONE THIS SEVERAL TIME. I DID READ ON THE INTERNET THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND SOME PEOPLE WERE TOLD IT WAS BECAUSE OF IMPROPER MAINTENANCE. I NOT THAT NOT TO BE TRUE. *TR

DRIVING MY 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY, I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE TO TURN AND THE CAR JUST SHUT DOWN. COASTED INTO A PARKING LOT, AND TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR AND IT WAS FINE.

MY FOOT WAS FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE AND THE ACCELERATOR WAS NOT DEPRESSED IN ANYWAY, HOWEVER THE ENGINE RPM'S CONTINUED TO INCREASED.

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA WHICH I BOUGHT IN NOVEMBER 2006. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS OUT OF MY VEHICLE, FROM COSMETICS, TO VIBRATING STEERING WHEEL, AIR CONDITIONING ISSUES, LEAKING STRUTS, ALIGNMENT ISSUES, AND MOST RECENTLY THE ECM. I WAS DRIVING TO THE STORE, AND RIGHT BEFORE I TURNED INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION MY CAR SHOOK, AND THEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. ALL OF THE LIGHTS AND SERVICE INDICATORS CAME ON, AND THEN SHUT OFF LEAVING ONLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. I TRIED TO START MY VEHICLE AGAIN, BUT NOTHING. MY FRIEND HAD TO HELP ME TO PUSH THE VEHICLE INTO A NEARBY PARKING LOT. THERE, I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AGAIN, AND SO I HEADED HOME. JUST AS I GOT TO MY HOUSE, THE CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN, AND RIGHT BEFORE IT SHUT OFF, IT WOULDN'T EVEN GIVE GAS. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO A NEARBY SHOP, AND AFTER CHECKING THE ENTIRE CAR AND DOING A DIAGNOSTIC, I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE ECM AND THAT IT WOULD COST 650 TO REPAIR (AND THAT'S FOR A USED/REBUILT ONE). I CALLED TOYOTA, AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY UP TO 80,000 MILES. I AM JUST UNDER 80,000 MILES THANK GOD. THE GUY I SPOKE WITH SOUNDED AS IF HE WASN'T SURPRISED OF THE ISSUE. I AM HAVING MY VEHICLE TOWED TO TOYOTA TODAY, AND I GUESS WILL SEE HOW THIS ALL PANS OUT. THE BAD PART ABOUT IT ALL IS, WHAT IF THEY FIX THE PROBLEM AND IT HAPPENS AGAIN? AND WHAT OTHER ISSUES ARE THERE THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT AND THEIR CONSUMERS DON'T. PLUS, WHO IS GOING TO PAY FOR PEOPLES TIME OFF WORK FOR THESE REPAIRS, AND TH

WHILE GETTING ON THE FREEWAY MY CAR LOST ALMOST ALL ACCELERATION IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY TURNED OFF CAR, RESTATED IT AND IT SOUNDED, FELT NORMAL. I DROVE 11 MILES HOME.

2007 TOYOTA COROLLA. CONSUMER STATES REPEATED SUDDEN ACCELERATION. *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION WAS RANDOM AND INTERMITTENT. THE CONSUMER STATED HE WAS BRAKING FROM NORMAL ROADWAY SPEEDS OF 30-60 MPH AND JUST WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ALMOST STOPPED, THE ENGINE WOULD RACE AND THE VEHICLE WOULD TRY TO ACCELERATE AGAINST THE BRAKES. FORTUNATELY, THE BRAKES HELD ITS POSITION AND THE CONSUMER WAS BALE TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF. THE FIRST TWO TIMES, THE ENGINE RACING OCCURRED, HE TRIED TO SHIFT THE GEAR INTO PARK TO PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM MOVING, HOWEVER THAT RESULTED IN THE ENGINE RPMS ACTING ERRATICALLY, SO HE THEN TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN AND EVERYTHING WENT BACK TO NORMAL. *JB

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.

MY 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA ENGINE STALLED. I STARTED THE ENGINE AND WENT BACK INSIDE THE HOUSE AND WHEN I RETURNED TO THE CAR I NOTICED THE ENGINE WAS OFF (WHICH WAS BIZARRE BECAUSE I KNEW I HAD TURNED IT ON). OF COURSE THE RADIO WAS STILL ON. SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START IT EITHER RESULTED IN THE CAR NOT STARTING AND IN OTHER INSTANCES IT WOULD START FOR A SECOND AND THEN SHUT OFF. I HAD TO BORROW MY HUSBAND'S CAR FOR THE DAY. WHEN I GOT HOME, MY HUSBAND AND I TRIED STARTING THE ENGINE AGAIN AND REALIZED THAT IT WAS STALLING, ALSO THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT WAS ON. MY HUSBAND TOLD ME HE READ AN ARTICLE RECENTLY ABOUT COROLLAS AND MATRIX PROBLEMS SO HE WENT BACK AND READ THE ARTICLE ONLINE AND REALIZED THAT THIS WAS THE SAME ISSUES MY CAR WAS EXPERIENCING. I ALSO CHECKED THE COROLLA MANUAL AND SAW THAT THE ENGINE LIGHT SAYS TAKE THE CAR TO TOYOTA IMMEDIATELY. *TR

I OWNED A TOYOTA COROLLA 2007 AND THE ENGINE STALLED ONCE. IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS GETTING OFF A HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE TOOK A 180 DEGREE TURN ON THE RAMP. THANK GOD THAT THERE WAS NO CAR BEHIND ME. I THOUGHT IT DID SOMETHING WRONG TO CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STALL. THIS WEEK I READ THE NEWS THAT TOYOTA ADMITTED THAT THERE MAY BE A ENGINE DEFECT. I HOPE THAT TOYOTA IS TAKING STEP TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *TR

2-17-10 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA STALLED ON 4 LANE HIGHWAY. I HAD TO RENT A CAR. WENT BACK TO THE CAR AND IT STARTED AND RAN FINE FOR A FEW DAYS. THEN STARTED STALLING AGAIN. ONCE WHEN ON INTERSTATE I-26 I WAS IN PASSING LANE DOING 65 MPH AND IT STALLED AND I HAD TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD. I WAS ALMOST RUN OVER BY IRATE MOTORIST. IF THAT'S NOT A SAFETY PROBLEM I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS. PROBLEM BECAME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND IT WOULD STALL EVERY 10-15 MILES. TOOK IT TO MECHANIC ON 3-15-10 AND HE INSTALLED A NEW OXYGEN SENSOR AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE FOR THE NEXT 100 MILES. NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON AND THE MECHANIC SUSPECTS THE ECM IS THE PROBLEM. NOW I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. DON'T KNOW IF USED PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING 2 MPH ATTEMPTING TO PARK AND WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SURGED FORWARD WITHOUT WARNING. IN ORDER TO STOP THE ACCELERATION, THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY EXTREME PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THREE PEOPLE DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND ALL OF THEM HAVE EXPERIENCED THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION AT DIFFERENT TIMES. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 40,000. UPDATED 04/22/10 *BF UPDATED 05/05/10.*JB

THE CAR ACCELERATED INSTEAD OF STOPPING WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO STOP. THE CAR SPED OFF ON ITS OWN AND CRASHED AGAINST THE FENCE ON MARCH 10, 2010. THE ACCELERATION OF THE CAR ON ITS OWN IS NOT NEW, BUT HAS NOT RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

2007 TOYOTA COROLLA LE 41K MILES BOUGHT USED A MONTH AGO.. I BEEN EXPERIENCING VERY SIMILAR BEHAVIORAL PATTERNS AS NOTED IN NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER: PE09054 . WHILE DRIVING THE CAR NORMALLY AROUND 40MPH+ AND SOMETIMES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, VERY RANDOMLY ENGINE STALLS OR SLOWLY LOWERS TO ABOUT 2000 RPM ALMOST IMMEDIATELY THE ENGINE LIGHT COME ON.. I TRIED TO GIVE IT MORE GAS BUT ENGINE WON'T PICK UP ABOVE 2000RPM. I PULL OVER TO THE SIDE. SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. THEN RESTARTS THE CAR WITH NO ISSUES, ENGINE LIGHT TURNS OFF AND I CONTINUE DRIVING NORMALLY AGAIN.. THIS HAPPENS AT LEAST 2 TIMES IN MY DAILY COMMUTE (30 MINUTES ONE WAY) .. AND IS GETTING MORE AND MORE FREQUENT. *TR

ON FRIDAY, MARCH 12, 2010, I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA HOME ON MY LUNCH HOUR AND MY CAR STALLED TWICE ON A SHARP TURN. I NEARLY LOST CONTROL ON THE TURN BECAUSE THE STEERING BECAME (QUITE UNEXPECTEDLY) VERY DIFFICULT. AT FIRST I DIDN'T REALIZE THE CAR HAD STALLED, CAUSING THE STEERING PROBLEM. THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME THE CAR STALLED. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID IT COULD BE A COMPUTER PROBLEM, BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, ETC., AND THEY'D RUN DIAGNOSTICS ON IT. AFTER BEING THERE OVER FOUR HOURS, ALL THEY SAID WAS THAT THE BATTERY WAS "MARGINAL" BUT IT TOOK A CHARGE. I ASKED ABOUT PUTTING IN A NEW BATTERY AND THE SERVICE REP SAID HE DIDN'T WANT TO DO THAT. I WASN'T CHARGED FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC OR BATTERY CHARGE. I BELIEVE, NOW THAT I'VE HEARD ABOUT THE STALL ISSUE TODAY IN THE NEWS, THAT THIS PROBLEM IS WHY I WASN'T CHARGED FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST; HOWEVER, I WAS NOT INFORMED THERE HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS WITH STALLING. *TR

2007 TOYOTA COROLLA: WHEN COMING TO A STOP CAR WILL SPONTANEOUSLY ACCELERATE AND LURCH FORWARD. WE HAVE BEEN SPARED ANY ACCIDENTS BUT IT IS HAPPENING AT LEAST TWICE A DAY NOW AND WILL DO IT WHEN COMING TO A STOP, AND BACKING UP. WE HAVE COME CLOSE TO HITTING OUR GARAGE AND OTHER CARS BECAUSE OF THIS SPONTANEOUS ACCELERATION PROBLEM. FAILURE STARTED AROUND 38,000 MILES AND IS STILL CONTINUING NOW AT ABOUT 49,000 MILES. CAR HAS BEEN TO A TRUSTED MECHANIC ONCE AND THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES. BOTH SAID THEY FOUND NO PROBLEM AND BECAUSE WE NEVER KNOW WHEN THE PROBLEM WILL OCCUR, COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO REPLICATE IT. TALKED WITH DEALERSHIP MECHANICS SEVERAL TIMES AND ALL SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNTIL THEY CAN REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. CAR DOES NOT FALL UNDER MOST RECENT TOYOTA RECALL, BUT IS EXHIBITING SIMILAR PROBLEMS TO THOSE LISTED IN THE RECALL. *TR

WE HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA. WE HAD BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY USING OUR CRUISE CONTROL. WHEN WE CAME TO THE EXIT, MY HUSBAND STEPPED ON THE BRAKE AND DISENGAGED THE CRUISE CONTROL AND WE STOPPED AT THE LIGHT. WE WERE SITTING THERE WITH THE ENGINE IDLING, MY HUSBAND'S FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE MOTOR ROARED AND THE CAR BEGAN TO SURGE FORWARD. HE STEPPED HARD ON THE BRAKE AND IT STOPPED. SCARED US TO SAY THE LEAST. IT HAS NOT OCCURRED AGAIN, BUT SOMETIMES WHEN WE ARE ON THE HIGHWAY, WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON AND IT ACCELERATES, IT WILL NOT BACK OFF AND THE CAR WILL CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE UNTIL WE STEP ON THE BRAKE. IF YOU STEP ON THE BRAKE AND DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL THE ACCELERATION WILL STOP. IN LIGHT OF THE RECENT INCIDENTS WE FELT WE SHOULD REPORT THESE INCIDENTS. WE READ THE REPORT ON THE RUNAWAY PRIUS AND THAT YOU COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE INCIDENT. I AM CONVINCED, BASED ON OUR EXPERIENCE THAT YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE INCIDENT. WE FEEL STRONGLY, BASED ON THE PERFORMANCE OF OUR OWN VEHICLE THAT IT IS A COMPUTER/ELECTRICAL PROBLEM OF SOME SORT AND THAT IT COULD BE CONNECTED TO THE CRUISE CONTROL. AS I SAID IT HAS NOT HAPPENED AGAIN, BUT I WONDER IF IT WILL AT SOME POINT. WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE THAT NO ONE WAS IN FRONT OF US OR WE WOULD HAVE HIT THEM. *TR

APPROXIMATELY JAN 26, 2010 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA ENGINE ACCELERATED UP TO APPROXIMATELY 7000 RPMS WHILE MY WIFE'S FOOT WAS ON BRAKE ONLY, CAR WAITING FOR ABOUT TWO MINUTES AT TRAFFIC LIGHT. CAR WAS TURNED OFF. CAR TOWED TO TOYOTA DEALER, DEALER FOUND NOTHING WRONG, NOTHING DONE. FEB 12, 2010 AGAIN THE CAR WAS IDLING, WAITING FOR TRAFFIC TO CLEAR, TO MAKE RIGHT TURN. THIS TIME ENGINE STARTED WILDLY ACCELERATING AS SOON AS MY WIFE GAVE CAR A LITTLE GAS, THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD RAPIDLY, SHE HIT ANOTHER CAR, CAUSED DAMAGE TO BOTH CARS, NO INJURIES. CAR ENGINE RACED VERY FAST AGAIN JUST AFTER ACCIDENT. CAR TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP FOR BODY WORK ONLY. FEB 24 JUST AFTER CAR PICKED UP AT BODY SHOP, CAR WAS WAITING IN TRAFFIC TO MAKE LEFT TURN, FOOT ON BRAKE, ENGINE ACCELERATED UP TO 7000 RPM AGAIN, CAR TURNED OFF, TOWED BACK TO TOYOTA DEALER. IT STILL SITS THERE TODAY, MARCH 15. DEALER WILL NOT LOOK AT CAR, NATIONAL TOYOTA TECH TEAM SAYS THEY WILL CALL TO SET UP APPOINTMENT TO LOOK AT CAR, MAYBE CALL THIS COMING WEEK, MAY NOT EVEN START LOOKING AT CAR FOR SEVERAL MORE WEEKS. WE HAVE NOT HAD USE OF CAR FOR ONE MONTH, TOYOTA IS CONVINCED NOTHING IS WRONG, CAR IS NOT RECALLED, TOYOTA SEEMS DETERMINED TO PROVE CAR PROBLEM DID NOT CAUSE ACCIDENT, SHOW NO CONCERN FOR WHAT IS CAUSING PROBLEM. WE HAVE EXTENDED WARRENTY, BUT CAR IS NOT GETTING FIXED, WE CAN NOT GET RENTAL CAR WHILE CAR IS IN SHOP BECAUSE TOYOTA IS NOT BEING FIXED. CAR SEEMS TO BE EXCELLENT CANIDATE FOR STUDIES, SINCE IT HAS HAD 3 S

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA. TWICE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOR A PERIOD OF 24 HOURS AND THEN WENT OFF FOR A WEEK. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE COMPUTER. I AM REPORTING THIS AS I KNOW THERE IS SERIOUS CONCERN ABOUT THE COMPUTER ELECTRONIC SYSTEM IN THE TOYOTAS. I THOUGHT THIS PIECE OF INFORMATION MIGHT BE HELPFUL TO YOU. *TR

2007 TOYOTA COROLLA EXPERIENCING THROTTLE SURGING. *KB THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE TOOK OFF SUDDENLY. HE APPLIED THE BRAKE AS HARD AS HE COULD, BUT BEFORE THE VEHICLE STOPPED IT CRASHED INTO A HEAVY TOOL BOX AND SOME OTHER CONTAINERS AND INTO THE BACK WALL OF THE GARAGE. THE BUMPER WAS DAMAGED. THE SECOND TIME, WHILE BACKING OUT OF THE GARAGE, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY TOOK OFF AGAIN. HE IMMEDIATELY APPLIED THE BRAKE FORCEFULLY, BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP BEFORE HE REACHED THE STREET. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE. THE THIRD TIME, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SURGED FORWARD IN THE MIDST OF STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS SPACE BETWEEN IT AND THE CAR AHEAD, SO HE WAS ABLE TO STOP BEFORE CONTACT. THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED HE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE DOOR AND IGNITION. HE HAD FOUR DIFFERENT BATTERIES IN THE VEHICLE SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED. HE WAS TOLD THAT THE FIRST TWO HAD BAD CELLS IN THEM. *JB

I HAVE BEEN HAVING TWO SEPARATE PROBLEMS WITH THE ACCELERATION OF MY 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA LE. THE FIRST PROBLEM IS WITH MY GAS PEDAL. I NOTICED THAT OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS MY GAS PEDAL HAS BEEN BECOMING HARDER TO PRESS DOWN. WHEN I AM PRESSING DOWN THE GAS PEDAL I ALSO EXPERIENCE THE PROBLEM OF THE VEHICLE "JUMPING" AND SUDDENLY ACCELERATING QUICKER INSTEAD OF SMOOTH ACCELERATION AS TOYOTA HAS SAID VEHICLES SHOULD HAVE. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO AND HAS ONLY BEEN GETTING WORSE THE SECOND ISSUE IS WITH MY CRUISE CONTROL. MY MOTHER ACTUALLY NOTICED THIS PROBLEM BEFORE I DID WHEN SHE WAS DRIVING MY CAR BUT I HAVE SEEN IT HAPPEN A FEW TIMES WHEN I'VE BEEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. WHEN I SET MY CRUISE CONTROL AND THERE IS ANY TYPE OF HILL MY CAR NATURALLY DECELERATES SLIGHTLY BEFORE MY CRUISE CONTROL STEPS IN AND COMPENSATES FOR THE INCLINE. WHEN I RETURN TO FLAT GROUND HOWEVER, I WOULD EXPECT MY CAR TO RETURN TO THE SPEED THAT I HAD SET MY CRUISE CONTROL TO. MOST OF THE TIME IT DOES BUT ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION INSTEAD OF PICKING BACK UP TO THE SET SPEED MY VEHICLE HAS ACTUALLY ACCELERATED FASTER THAN THE SPEED I HAD SET. THIS PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF THE PURCHASE OF MY VEHICLE. I DIDN'T NOTICE THESE AS A PROBLEM BECAUSE I HAD ALREADY CHECKED TO MAKE SURE MY TOYOTA WASN'T UNDER ANY CURRENT RECALLS AND IT WASN'T. MY MOTHER HOWEVER POINTED OUT THAT BOTH OF THESE THINGS ARE ABNORMAL AND I NEEDED TO TAKE THEM IN TO TOYOTA AND FILE A REPORT WITH YOU.

I CURRENTLY LEASE A 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA WHICH COMMENCED ON FEBRUARY 23, 2007. I HAVE EXPERIENCED AN ISSUE WITH THE STEERING SINCE DAY ONE. IT IS AS FOLLOWS: DEPENDING ON THE LEVEL OF ROAD UNEVENNESS, THE CAR DRIFTS LEFT OR RIGHT AND REQUIRES NEARLY CONSTANT CORRECTION AND THEN, OVER-CORRECTION JUST TO MAINTAIN A STRAIGHTFORWARD COURSE. THE CAR DOES NOT WEAVE ERRATICALLY ALL OVER THE ROAD, BUT IT IS JUST SIMPLY A CHORE TO DRIVE, ESPECIALLY IN WINDY CONDITIONS OR IN THE DRAFT OF A PASSING TRANSPORT TRUCK. I WAS VERY CONCERNED WITH THE STEERING PERFORMANCE AS BEING A SAFETY ISSUE AT THE OUTSET. I APPROACHED MY TOYOTA DEALER, AND THEN TOYOTA CANADA WITH MY PROBLEM BUT IT WAS QUITE SIMPLY SHRUGGED OFF. I HAVE SINCE "LEARNED" HOW TO DRIVE THIS CAR IN THE PAST THREE YEARS BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO RID MYSELF OF THE LEASE. I HAVE SUFFERED NO ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES BECAUSE OF THIS CAR. MY PURPOSE IN REPORTING THIS COMPLAINT AT THIS TIME IS TO INFORM YOU THAT THE TOYOTA COROLLA STEERING ISSUES DATE BACK AT LEAST AS EARLY AS THE 2007 MODEL YEAR. INDEED, AT THE TIME IN 2007, AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET , I FOUND I WAS ONLY ONE OF MANY WHO EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM. MY HOPE IS THAT MY EXPERIENCE MAY BE OF SOME USE TO YOU. *TR

MY 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA ACCELERATED DANGEROUSLY THREE TIMES . I PUT ON BRAKES WITH ALL MY MIGHT, PUT IT IN PARKED POSITION. NO DAMAGE TO ANYTHING, OR ANYONE, BUT THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION WAS SCARY. IT'S NOT AMONG THE RECALLED MODELS. I REMOVED THE TOYOTA FLOOR MAT FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I WILL GO BACK TO DEALER : I WANT THEM TO LOOK AT THE CAR'S COMPUTER. *TR

SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH MY CAR'S ACCELERATION AND CRUISE CONTROL MECHANISMS. SOMETIMES, IF I'VE BEEN USING MY CRUISE CONTROL, AND I'M COASTING, THE THROTTLE WILL SUDDENLY ENGAGE ON ITS OWN AND REV AS IF THE GAS WAS FLOORED. IN SECONDS THE TACHOMETER WILL CLIMB TOWARD THE REDLINE. EVERY TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED (ABOUT 5 TIMES) I'VE HIT THE CLUTCH AND IT HAS STOPPED IMMEDIATELY. I'VE NEVER BEEN IN ANY DANGER YET, AND IT USUALLY JUST LEAVES ME SCRATCHING MY HEAD. *TR

2007 TOYOTA COROLLA POOR STEERING ISSUE*CW THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE SWERVED BACK AND FORTH AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS. THEY DEALER TOLD THE CONSUMER THE VEHICLE NEEDED A REAR END ALIGNMENT. THE SECOND TIME THE CONSUMER WENT BACK TO THE DEALER, HE COMPLAINED OF WOBBLY STEERING, SO THE DEALER BALANCED THE TIRES. THE THIRD TIME, WAS THE SAME AS THE SECOND TIME WITH THE STEERING. THE FIFTH TIME, THE CONSUMER WENT TO THE DEALER HE STATED THE PROBLEM WAS WORSE AND SEEMED TO GET MORE WORSE AFTER AN INTERSTATE TRIP OF 50 MPH OR WHEN THE TIRES HEATED UP. THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT LOWS SPEED, IT SEEMED TO WOBBLE. WHEN THE CONSUMER WENT BACK TO THE DEALER THREE OF THE FOUR TIRES WERE OUT OF BALANCE. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THE RIMS COULD BE THE CAUSE OF THE POOR STEERING. THE DEALER AGREED TO REPLACE ONE OF THE TIRES, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM WAS STILL NOT RESOLVED. THE CONSUMER WENT TO GET A SECOND OPINION AND THEY AGREED THERE WAS A STEERING ISSUE. THE CONSUMER WENT BACK TO THE ORIGINAL DEALER AND THEY AGREED TO REMOVE THE TIRES AND RIMS FROM THE VEHICLE. THE NEW TIRES AND RIMS HELPED, BUT THE VEHICLE STILL SWAYED, BUT NOT AS BAD AS BEFORE. THE CONSUMER STATED HE READ A NEWSPAPER ARTICLE WHERE A PERSON WHO WORKED IN A CALIFORNIA PLANT THAT MADE TOYOTA COROLLA'S WAS IN TROUBLE FOR MAKING ACCUSATIONS ABOUT OTHERS PASSING OFF FAULTY FRONT ENDS. THE CONSUMER NO LONGER OWNS THE VEHICLE. *JB UPDATED 04/14/10.*JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN HE STEPPED ON THE BRAKES THE VEHICLE ROLLED FORWARD. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO FUNCTION NORMALLY AFTER HE REMOVED HIS FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000. UPDATED 03/26/10. *LJ

TL*THE CONTACT RENTED A 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE DRIVER STATED THAT THE RENTAL COMPANY TOLD HIM THAT THERE WAS NO NEED TO WORRY SINCE THEY RECENTLY HAD THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL RECALL REPAIR PERFORMED. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,800.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 COROLLA I LOST POWER TO THE ENGINE ON A BUSY INTERSECTION. THANKFULLY I WAS NOT HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. GOT TOWED TO A GARAGE. RECEIVED THE CODE P0607. RESEARCHED AND FOUND A TSB ON THIS ISSUE TSB EG042-07. MY CAR IS AT 94000 MILES AND THE TSB ONLY COVERS UP TO 80,000. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2006 AND 2007 TOYOTA'S. I CALLED TOYOTA CORPORATE AND A TICKET WAS GENERATED FOR MY CASE. THE DISTRICT MANAGER SAID SHE WOULD DO NOTHING TO REPLACE THIS PART. SO MUCH FOR HELPING A (FORMER) RELIABLE TOYOTA OWNER. A RECALL WAS NEVER DONE. I NOW NEED TO REPLACE A COMPUTER FOR $900 ON A 3 YEAR OLD CAR. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. I SEE MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE. I SEE THAT THE NHTSA HAS BEGUN AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS. I HOPE THAT TOYOTA DOES NOT GET AWAY WITH THIS! *TR

THE COROLLA 2007 "S MODEL" STOPPED OR DIED ON THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND COULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE WHEN ACCELERATOR WAS PRESSED. *TR

IN THE PAST 2 1/2 YEARS I RENTED TWO TOYOTA COROLLA'S FROM HERTZ CAR RENTAL. THEY BOTH HAD SEVERE STEERING PROBLEMS. THEY WOULD VEER ONE WAY, SAY RIGHT FOR EXAMPLE. A SMALL STEERING WHEEL TURN TO THE LEFT DID NOTHING AND THE CAR KEPT GOING RIGHT. THEN ANOTHER SMALL TURN TO THE LEFT AND THE CAR WOULD VEER SHARPLY TO THE LEFT. IN THE FIRST CASE, IN CALIFORNIA, WHEN THE CAR VEERED LEFT I HAD AN ACCIDENT WITH ANOTHER CAR IN THE LANE TO THE LEFT. AFTER STRAIGHTEN THINGS OUT WITH THE OTHER DRIVER AND THE POLICE, I TOOK THE STILL-DRIVABLE CAR, NO LONGER WITH A LEFT SIDE MIRROR TO A HERTZ AGENCY AND EXCHANGED IT FOR A FORD AUTOMOBILE. IT STEERED FINE. FOR THE SECOND TIME, A YEAR LATER, I THOUGHT (INCORRECTLY) THAT THE FIRST CAR WAS ACCIDENTALLY OUT OF ALIGNMENT AND I RENTED ANOTHER TOYOTA COROLLA FROM A HERTZ AGENCY IN FLORIDA. IT VEERED ALL OVER THE ROAD TOO. POLICEWOMAN STOPPED ME AND SAID I HAD BEEN REPORTED AS DRIVING ERRATICALLY. WHEN SHE LEARNED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE CAR SHE TOLD ME TO GET TO THE NEAREST PHONE AND CALL HERTZ (80 MILES AWAY) AND HAVE THEM BRING ME ANOTHER CAR. ACTUALLY, I WENT TO THE NEAREST MOTEL AND CALLED HERTZ FROM THERE. IT TOOK UNTIL THE NEXT DAY FOR THEMTO BRING A DIFFERENT CAR, NOT A TOYOTA. IT STEERED FINE. THOSE COROLLA'S WERE DANGEROUS. I RENTED THEM BECAUSE I OWNED AN OLD 1993 TOYOTA COROLLA AND IT WAS A WONDERFUL CAR AND CERTAINLY HAD NO STEERING DIFFICULTIES. DATES BELOW ARE APPROXIMATE. *TR

AN INCREASE IN ACCELERATION WITH MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. *TR
