| Vehicle Speed Control problems |
I purchased a used 2000 Toyota Corolla from a dealership in the area in April 2013 - I found that when driving in excess of 65 mph, the car started shaking and controlling it was difficult - is there a possible recall of this year/make/model that was never fixed?.
When car is stopped at a light, traffic or stop sign, at times it lurches forward and rpm goes from 650 to 950. I've always able to stop the car since my foot is on the brake. It has occurred many many times. Last date of occurrence is reported below.
The contact owns a 2000 Toyota Corolla. While driving 25 mph the vehicle accelerated without warning. The vehicle did not crash but the contact was very concerned about the possibility that a crash could have occurred. The dealer diagnosed the failure and confirmed that it was not related to the vehicle speed control. The contact stated that this is a major safety issue which has occurred on more than one occasion. The contact also has concerns that he could sustain minor injuries if a crash occurred. The failure mileage was 132,000.
The contact owns a 2000 Toyota Corolla. While driving between 25 and 30 mph, the vehicle accelerated into oncoming traffic when he attempted to stop at a traffic light.

When driving 20 mph and upon depressing brake pedal to make a normal stop vehicle continued to accelerate which caused a rear end collision. Vehicle caught on fire due to battery leaking. Also, passenger's side seat belt did not lock which forced the passenger into the windshield. Vehicle was a total loss. Please provide any further details.
