ALL PICTURES ARE TIME STAMPED. *TR

THE INDICATOR REMAINED LIT UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. SHE ALSO SMELLED A STRONG ODOR OF FUEL OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND THEY STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO THE FUEL SYSTEM, WHICH WAS COMMON FOR THIS VEHICLE.

THE OD LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. IT STAYS ON. THERE IS A STRANGE WHIRRING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. A CLUNKING NOISE IS HEARD IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. ALL THESE OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY. A TOYOTA DEALER IN YUMA SAID OF THE OD LIGHT, THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

WHILE OPERATING THIS VEHICLE AT APPROX 35MPH, THERE WAS A SUDDEN AND COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN SMOOTHLY BUT ABSOLUTELY NO ACCELERATION OR POWER. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SLOW TO A STOP AT A VERY DANGEROUS AND BUSY INTERSECTION. I RETURNED HOME AT IDLE SPEED AND PLACED THE CAR IN THE GARAGE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. DAYS LATER I RESTARTED THE CAR AND EVERYTHING APPEARED OK AND RECOVERED. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT EVENTUALLY WENT OUT. THEN IT OCCURRED AGAIN WHILE MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN AT ANOTHER INTERSECTION. VERY DANGEROUS, VERY SCARY. THE CAR WAS GARAGED AND LATER TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP CONCEDED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE COMPUTER OR ECM. THERE IS A TSB CONCERNING THIS AND THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA COROLLAS. FORTUNATELY, I STILL HAD 6K MILES LEFT ON MY WARRANTY SO THIS REPAIR AND THE TOW WAS COVERED BY TOYOTA. I WAS TOLD THAT HAD THIS BEEN AN OUT OF WARRANTY THE REPAIR WOULD HAVE BEEN $1300 FOR AN 18MONTH OLD CAR! I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND TOYOTA SHOULD NOTIFY EVERY OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE FOR THIS POSSIBLE PROBLEM. I ALSO BELIEVE THIS DEFECT SHOULD BE REPAIRED REGARDLESS OF WARRANTY LIMITATIONS. *TR
