WE HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA. WE EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ACCELERATION TWO TIMES IN THE FALL OF 2009. ONE TIME IT WAS ON OUR COUNTY ROAD GOING AROUND A CURVE. MY WIFE LET UP ON THE GAS AND IT SPED UP. SHE WAS ABLE TO GET IT UNDER CONTROL AND STOPPED. THE OTHER TIME IT WAS IN A PARKING LOT. SHE HAD DAMAGE TO THE FRONT BUMPER FOR A LITTLE UNDER 1000.00. NO REPORT WAS MADE SINCE WE PAID FOR IT OURSELVES AND THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO ANY OTHER VEHICLE. WE TOOK THE CAR INTO TOYOTA AND THEY CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT BOTH INCIDENCES WERE DRIVER ERROR. WE CALLED TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS AND THEY SAY THE SAME THING SINCE OUR VEHICLE IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I DON'T BELIEVE IT WAS DRIVER ERROR. I BELIEVE IT IS IN THE ELECTRONICS OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

MY ABS BRAKES *TOYOTA COROLLA 2007) STOP BRAKING WHEN GOING OVER UNEVEN ROAD OR WET ROADS. IT HAS BEEN LIKE THIS SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN DECEMBER 2006. IT OCCURS EVERY TIME IN DESCRIBED SITUATIONS. NOTHING HAS YET BEEN DONE TO REPAIR SITUATION. WAS TOLD BY DEALER THAT IT WAS NORMAL... *TR

I BOUGHT A 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO. I HAD A VERY BAD EXPERIENCE ON JAN. 29, 2010. (1) FIRSTLY, WHEN I GOT OFF WORK, I COULD NOT START THE ENGINE. I TRIED 3 TIMES, AND ENGINE WAS FINALLY STARTED AND BOTH THE BATTERY AND ENGINE CHECK LIGHTS WERE ON. I WAS VERY WORRIED AND DECIDED TO GO TO A DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY. (2) THE NEXT MORNING, I DROVE TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP NEARBY. WHEN I STOPPED AT A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT ON MY WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP, MY ENGINE WAS SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY!!! I WAS SO NERVOUS, QUICKLY TURNED ON MY EMERGENCY LIGHT AND TRIED TO START THE ENGINE AGAIN. THE ENGINE WAS STARTED AND FINALLY I ARRIVED AT TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER CHECKED MY CAR AND FOUND THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE WENT BAD. THEY REPLACED IT WITH A NEW ECM. THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY FOR NOW. MY CAR IS ONLY ABOUT 22,000 MILES. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE QUALITY OF TOYOTA'S ELECTRONICS. *TR

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

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 TO 55 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO THE BRAKE PEDAL, FOLLOWED BY NO POWER RESPONSE. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE SLOW DOWN AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE FAILURES OCCURRED ON SEVEN OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR THE IDENTICAL FAILURES. A TECHNICIAN RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT OF THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED FOR THE MALFUNCTION AT THIS TIME. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE UNAVAILABLE.

I WAS IN A PARKING LOT, PARKING MY CAR. JUST BEFORE I HAD THE CAR IN ITS PARKING PLACE, THE CAR WENT WILD, TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL. IT WENT UP THE SLOPE BORDERING THE PARKING LOT, THEN MADE A TURN, AND RE-ENTERED THE PARKING LOT. IT CAME TO A STOP WHEN IT BUMPED INTO TWO OTHER PARKED CARS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA LE. WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF LESS THAN 25 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND DRIVE HOME SAFELY. THE NEXT DAY, THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN. WITHIN 20 MINUTES, HE WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND DRIVE HOME. WITHIN MINUTES, HE WAS NOTIFIED BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE. THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALLY ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO SPEAK WITH TOYOTA OF AMERICA. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE UNDER 14,200.
