Description of the problem | I was driving my mom's 2006 toyota corolla ce tonight. I was stopped at a red light waiting to turn left. The light turned green, i pressed the gas pedal and the car stalled and it would barely move at all and the check engine light came on. I was thankfully able to get off to the shoulder of the road without being in an accident. After i got to the shoulder off the road the car sounded like it was about to quit running and just die out. I turned the car off and restarted it. The check engine light was still on and i was terrified about having to drivethe car home, about 2 miles from my destination at that time, but i tried it and when i pushed the gas pedal, after i restarted the car, it done okay and did not stall. However, the check engine light never went out even after restarting the care. This is a big safetly risk and needs to be fixed by toyota. Someone could have hit me in the back end and it is definitely a safety hazard and needs to be resolved! I was very upset when this happened not sure what i was going to do. Please investigate this issue. I no longer feel safe driving any toyota product. Again, i was driving my mom's 2006 toyota corolla ce. I am the owner of a 2007 scion tc and i am thinking about trading it off because i no longer feel safe driving anything made by toyota. Before today, i wasn't really worried about driving my mom's car since none of the incidents where the vehicle speeds up and you can't stop it affected her model but after this incident today, i will not be driving her car at all. I feel like my life is at danger when in a toyota. Please help protect my safety and families around america. Toyota needs to make a recall regarding this because it is a safety risk!!!! Despite what toyota says. They haven't been in the situation themselves. It is absolutely no fun. If they can't fix the problems, they need to just shut down. People's lives are at risk. |
