On more than one occasion I was going between 5-10 miles an hour and the car sputtered and felt like it was going to shut off. I told the dealership when I took the car in for regular service and the told me the computer did not find anything wrong and they could not replicate the problem when driving it. Also when accelerating the car will make a clunking sound. Again the dealership denied a problem. These issues have happened multiple times.

Driving on us 19 at approximately 50 mph when my car accelerated to 70 mph. I applied the brakes and it slowed back down and was fine after that. On December 5th I was stopped at a red light when it suddenly started to accelerate and I had to push hard on the brake pedal to keep from going into the intersection but, by the time the light turned green it was back to normal. I brought it to sun Toyota and they could not find anything on the computer. They cleaned a part that they found to be dirty and said everything checked out fine. On January 9th I was pulling into the parking lot of sam's when it accelerated suddenly again and I had to use the curb to get it to stop. On January 18th I was at red light and it accelerated so loudly that the vehicle in front of me pulled over to the side thinking I was going to hit him. I put the car into neutral and it continued to rev and make a loud clicking sound. By the time the light turned green it had stopped and when I put it into drive it was fine. I went directly to the dealer and they gave me a 18003314331 #3 to call and report it because again they could not find anything wrong. I have parked the car and I don't know what I should do because I no longer feel safe driving it.

While driving on the highway, I noticed a clicking sound resulting from the needle on the rpm meter dropping to 0. The check engine light went on, and my engine stalled. I lost power steering and power braking, and coasted on momentum to the shoulder of the highway. I was able to restart the car, but the check engine light was still on and the engine shut off a few seconds later. I had the car towed home.

1) earlier in the year, I took car for its on-time oil change. Mechanic said the car had no oil in it. Did not give much thought until it happened again on the next oil change. After this oil change, I decided to take it to another mechanic. The also told me the car was out of oil & probably just leaking. They changed the oil & told me bring it in another day for them to look at it. Several hundred miles before the next oil change was due, I noticed a clicking noise. I checked the oil ( the dip stick was dry) I put a quart of oil in it & drove it to this second mechanic. They told me the car had no oil leak, but the car had no oil in it. Icalled the deealership & will be taking the car in this week!.
