Description of the problem | 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. |
