2001 Toyota Corolla Owner Comments

problem #1

Feb 172005

Corolla 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 26,402 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

We were traveling from tx to SC using cruise control (cc) on my 2001 Toyota Corolla le. Heat was noted on the cc switch on 2/16/05. On 2/17/2005 the cruise control was engaged at 75 mph. The cc failed to disengage when brakes were applied; cc failed to disengage at the switch. The acceleration would not stop despite brake application. The transmission selector was put into neutral and the car was stopped with foot and emergency brakes the engine continued to race at high rpms until the engine was turned off. An I-10 Alabama law enforcement agent disabled the cc by removing the cc fuse disconnecting something at the throttle body. This incident nearly caused a high speed collision. The Corolla 1nxbr12E5Z534307 will be serviced at the Toyota dealership in florence, SC.
