My toyoda corrolla had two recalls one is the defective ECM which causes the cae to be un risk of a serious accident because it can stall while driving, this problemas damaged my car transmisin after they supposedly changed the part, they either didnt fixed it or replaced it with another defective part, now my car hesitates abd chek engine light is always on due to the ECM again not functioning properly, I contactes Toyota corporate and al they did was to give me the run around I contactes the CEO and he rejected my emails, I want this to be reportes un case me abd my child can get injured due to that defect Toyota didnt fixed properly.any help will be appreciated.
The car shuts down and stops without warning. I have taken it to Toyota 2 X this month and still not fixed. It was just towed again today. This seems to happen once the car is driven for awhile and gets warmed up. When it sits for awhile it will start again. I noticed that Toyota recalled some 2005 Corollas for ECM replacement but I have never received a recall. My research seems to indicate this car is having ECM problems. Toyota has already replaced fuel regulator sensor( 1st time) and oxygen sensor (2nd time) but as stated above it happened again 3 days after second repair. My 17 yr old grand daughter drives this car. I believe it is the emc and should have been part of the recall. This is deadly. The car just stops. Imagine driving across a bridge 65 mile an hour and your car stops no power no acceleration and you think your car has been fixed by certified Toyota mechanic. If on a hill you cannot even get off the road. Help!!! once she was on a street and once on highway.
There was a recall on Toyota's engine control modules. I took my car in and had it replaced in 2012 due to a failed emissions inspection. In 2016, im having the same issue again and Toyota refuses to do anything about it.
Check engine light came while driving to work in 2005 Corolla. Took car to mechanic who diagnosed the charcoal canister needed to be replaced. Also occurred with a 20008 Toyota matrix (Corolla cousin), that had only 70,000 miles on it. Seems to me this is a manufacturing defect with Toyota Corollas and possibly others.
The contact owns a 2005 Toyota Corolla. While placing fuel in the vehicle, the lever to the fuel tank fractured. The contact drove the vehicle to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The technician stated that the lever inside fractured. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.

Dear all, in my Toyota Corolla 2005 car, check engine sign are coming and going. There is some issue with fuel pump or gas tank. I have asked the same to Toyota dealership but they have no answer for the same. They are saying for checking I have to pay 150+ usd. As this is a mechanical issue, please help me to deal with the same.
While driving on 55 South freeway exit from 91 West to my work, my car suddenly stopped responding. It started jerking and suddenly stopped the engine. Luckily traffic wasn't that fast otherwise it could have created a big pile up behind me. I pulled over to the right shoulder and stopped. I tried about 3-4 times to start, but it did not crank at all. So I called the tow truck and towed to nearby Firestone in orange, ca. They first suspected may be the bad battery, and checked and replace the battery but still didn't start. So they did complete diagnosis and found that fuel wasn't reaching to the engine due to fuel pump failure. They recommended to changed the whole fuel pump assembly and charged me about $1100. They told me that there has been known issues on 05 Toyota Corolla for fuel pump failure and they knew in 2005 and issued notice too. I have bought this brand new in '04 August from Toyota in claremont, ca. At least they should have notified us via email or postal mail since they knew about it, than I could have gone to dealership and have them checked for it. Now, I am stuck with the $1100 bill. That is ridiculous how careless Toyota is. No wonder, they had so many recalls last year 2011. I just want the Toyota to know about it and send me the money I paid to Firestone. I have googled online, and found so many blogger who had issue with the fuel pump. So it has been still going on and Toyota is not doing anything about it. They should fix the issue right away, it's a manufacturing defect. Why they wait until people die"??"
