Automatic Transmission problems of the 2005 Toyota Corolla

P2716 harsh shift fault code. I purchased car from dealer as a certified used perfectly reliable on 12/28/08 with 47000 miles on it. The other day out of no where, no warnings, no noticeable changes the check engine light came on, while cruising up the 14 north at 75 mph. Didn't think much of it, stopped at a friends house and used his obd2 reader and found out the issue, still haven't noticed much of an issue except for the sharp harsh shifting from 1st thru 3rd unless babying it. So I go into the dealer with 94786miles and see what's the issue and why so many problems. I was told yes its known a TSB has been published, yes its a safety hazard to anyone on or around the road due to the fact it could shut down at a moments notice. But since I am past the 80000 mi. Warranty there is nothing they can do except offer me a 10% discount and pay 693. 00 to have it replaced, and there is no guarantee it will be perfect again, many of our customers have had to return multiple times for it which the warranty covers. How does my certified used , extended warranty purchase, being a safety hazard not covered under a warranty control, a safety recall, or something?.

The contact owns a 2005 Toyota Corolla. While driving at approximately 3 mph pressure was applied to the break pedal and the check engine light illuminated on the dashboard. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the gas cap, the transmission and an unknown charcoal canister were replaced. Approximately one week later the vehicle began to intermittently stall. The vehicle was taken back to the authorized dealer where the engine control module was replaced. Approximately a week and a half later the vehicle again began to stall. The vehicle was taken back to the authorized dealer where they informed her they believe the amplifier was draining power from the battery which may be the cause of the failures. The amplifier was removed by the authorized dealer. Upon receiving the vehicle it continued to intermittently stall. The vehicle was taken back to the authorized dealer but she was unsure if the vehicle was repaired. The failures continue to recur intermittently. The failure mileage was 70,816 and the current mileage was 71,955.

I own a 2005 Toyota Corolla. Just recently the check engine light came on. Soon after the transmission would jump every time the car shifted into a higher gear. In other words, as I increased in speed it would make a hard shift or something like it. Turns out that the ecm is bad and needs to be replaced. From doing a quick internet search it appears that this is a widespread problem and definitely poses a safety risk. I love Toyota, but this is a problem since some drivers experience a complete shut down while they are driving on the highway. . Read more...

I was in the act of parking my vehicle in a parking lot and placed my right foot on the brake and proceeded to shift the gear into the park position. But before I could complete this action, my vehicle spontaneously accelerated and hurtled forward. I was lucky that my vehicle was stopped by crashing into a metal sign post. Had the post not been there, my vehicle would have gone into a very busy main road.

P2716, ecm problem.

Ecu (engine control unit) malfunction causes hard shift on transmission. Total replacement charge sums up to 762. 00 as per Toyota dealer. Toyota Corolla s 2005 replacement information in data base is 89661 02c11 vs. 89661 02c12 on physical engine control unit part. Compatibility in question. Customer service admitted to have a total of 4 car with same problem during the same week. Also said that they would replace it with an upgraded unit questioning the manufacture performance.

Here I report an accident which may be caused by Toyota unintended accelerate problem. We bought 2005 Toyota Corolla sport on July 09, 2004. We drive 2000-3000 miles/ per year. As we bought 5 years pre-paid maintenance, we have regular maintenance service with faulkner dealer every half year until July 09, 2009. There has no big problems during the first 3-year warranty period except on around summer of 2007, the check engine light is on and Toyota dealer replaced the computer control system without charge (were not sure the replaced computer name and we think the dealer should have record). The weather condition is light-medium rain while our car accident happened. When the accident happened, my 5-year old son and I were in the car. The road speed limit is 25 miles per hour, I drove under the speed limit at a local road and it is about 2-3 miles distance to our destination. I remembered that I reduced the speed around a curve to turn on another road. Suddenly I heard a loud roaring engine sound came from inside, even I pressed and pressed the brake pedal for several times, but I feel that I step on the air, it didn't help. The car automatically accelerated with the speed I cant control and I lost the control of the steering wheel, my car was in malfunction status and crashed to the right curb and then hit the bush with a high speed and trapped in wet mud (thank for god). The engine was still roaring with a scared loud sound for minutes till I turned off the ignition and took off the key. Our car was damaged seriously by this accident, our car insurance company paid for more than $7,000 for the repair of this damage and I paid $1,000 for this collision. We kept both the police and repair record in case you required. At that time we didn't realize this accident may be caused by the unintended accelerate problem which recalled . Because our car computer system was replaced by dealer in 2007, we may still faced the recalled problem.

I purchased a 2005 4 door Toyota Corolla ce from a dealer here in puerto rico. I purchased the vehicle brand new. I am still making payments on this vehicle has I am going into my 4th year this year of making payments. The dealer suggested transmission oil change service every 15,000 miles. My vehicle has already over 72,000 highway miles. So far I have done 3 transmission oil changes mainly because they are not cheap. Last December I noticed that the cars transmission at certain periods would not shift while idling and then taking off. My car has an automatic transmission. I took it in for service thinking that it was time for an transmission oil change. Last night again I noticed that the automatic transmission would not shift. I parked the vehicle on the side of the road, shift the vehicle into park, and then started into drive again. For some reason that seems to work and from then on the vehicle seems to work fine. I am the original owner of this vehicle and I have never had any collisions with this vehicle. I was actually looking for recalls on the NHTSA for this particular vehicle and all I could find was a recall for the front head lamps from enco. Pls reply.
