Description of the problem | 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. |
