general problems of the 2005 Toyota Corolla

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 transmisi�n 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.

In January of 2013 and again in December of 2013, my "check engine" light came on. I took the car into the Toyota dealership in san luis obispo and they said that the O2 sensor was malfunctioning, causing the engine to run too lean. The first time this happened (January, 2013) the service writer gave me an estimate to replace the "plenum gasket and O2 sensor" but said there was nothing to worry about if I elected not to have this repair done. When the "check engine" light came on again in December, 2013, I became alarmed and took my 2005 Toyota Corolla to an authorized Toyota repair shop (not the san luis obispo dealership) and was told that there was high probability that the valves would burn out if I did not replace the O2 sensor (bank one, sensor one) and plenum gasket. I felt this was urgent and took it to the san luis obispo Toyota dealer for the repair, costing me over $400. Note that I found a Toyota technical service bulletin ("m. I. L "on" dtc po171 or p2195", models '05-'06 Corolla and matrix) dated November 16, 2005 (we bought the car in March or April, 2005) which stated "under certain driving conditions, some 2005 and 2006 model year Corolla and matrix vehicles may exhibit a mil "on" condition with at least one of the following dtc's: po171 (system too lean, bank 1"). Further, it stated "the air fuel (a/f) sensor manufacturing process has been improved to correct this condition". Note that I never received correspondence or a notice from Toyota about this condition. On 1-2-14 I emailed Toyota (ref: 140102-000196) to ask about this and to ask their consideration to cover some of the cost of the repair, and I received an email back from a "renee t. ", Toyota customer experience stating "a TSB (technical service bulletin) is not a recall or a special service campaign" and that Toyota and basically brushed my concern aside.

Unknown - the airbag light has been on for a while. Check engine light is also on, and after a few repairs/replacements of diagnosed issues the light remains. A texas vehicle inspection report shows a p0420 fault code that will not go away, as well as a p0741 fault code about a torque converter clutch circuit underperforming or is stuck/off. I have a technical service bulletin from the inspection station that reads as follows: 10051865 date: 04/16/2013 Toyota: in a collision, to help reduce injuries, with seat belt pre=tensioner and supplemental restraint systems (srs), it's possible that the devices may or may not perform as expected with unintended deployment.

Several episodes of unintended acceleration whiie at a stop sign, and several others while driving.
