The contact opened the hood and noticed that the cable, connected to the transmission, disconnected. The contact shut the vehicle off, and called the auto nation Toyota fort myers service center dealer at (239)344-1900, located at 2555 colonial blvd, #1, fort myers, FL, 33907, and was told to bring the vehicle to the shop.

The car was a 2004 Toyota Corolla with standard transmission that had ~138,500 miles on it at the time of the incident. I was driving to work and the engine started making a loud rattling sound as I switched into 4th gear. The rattling sound got worse as I drove home from work, so I took the car to my mechanic the next morning. He drove it himself and said that the problem was related to a loosened bearing in the transmission and that the transmission would likely need to be replaced. It was not worth replacing the transmission on a car that old so I had to buy a new one. The car was 10 years old with significant mileage, but Toyota Corollas should last for much longer than this. Also, I read other complaints on the internet that many 2004 Toyotas were having transmissions fail prematurely because of bearings coming loose.

I was driving at 70 mph on the interstate when the car stalled out. We were able to pull to the side of the road luckily. It did start again but stalled again if I went over 40 mph. I had replaced the transmission the week before and had a transmission place check it out. They said the transmission is fine and that the error code is for the ecm. I had taken the care back to my transmission place (certified transmission in bellevue ne. ) and he had the same answer for me. I attempted to work with Toyota on this through their customer complaint dept. They referred me to nick anderson (customer care manager) at bellevue Toyota. He didn't care that the car is unsafe to drive or that it stalled on us going 70 mph on the interstate. All he cared about is that the care is over miles on the extended warranty (80,000) and he wouldn't do anything for me at all. I believe in companies that back there product and I no longer believe in Toyota. I have found out that there is a very strong chance that the reason I had to replace the transmission on this auto is because of the ecm that was misdiagnosed as transmission issues. I believe this to be true because I am having the same stalling issues that I had before the new transmission was put in. I feel that Toyota should at the very least repair/replace the faulty ecm at no additional cost to me.
