Any help will be appreciated.

The contact owns a 2005 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated that the cable shifter to the transmission fractured. The contact was unable to shift the gear lever from park to reverse or drive. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was repaired. The details of the repair was unknown. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 14,000.

The check engine light came on and was scanned by a local shop was advised of the code p0741 was told my transmission would need to be repaired at the cost of 2495. 00 I have not had the money to fix the car was told by a friend who works for a shop there was a TSB for this code for my car called Toyota and was told there is nothing they can do since the warranty is up on my car. I asked why this was not addressed when my car was taken for the ecm recall and the lady from Toyota named nancy became very rude and told me there is nothing we can do and there is no customer support program available for your vechile and asked if there is anything else she could help me with. The car still has not been repaired.

In April 2012 I brought my vehicle to a Toyota dealership for service; the check engine light was on. Apparently there was a recall on the ecm of the car. It was replaced and seemed fine. In July I heard a grinding sound on my car. I brought it to a dealership and they fixed the issue. It was a problem with the fuel line. They did a flush on all fluids and other work. The car works great. A week later the vehicle is "choking and jerking" when I hit the gas. Sounds like the transmission. Dealership states it is a transmission issue. They look it over and now I need a new transmission. I've never had a problem with the car before. I was not provided information when the car was there originally about the transmission; I was driving with a bad transmission.

While attempting to park the vehicle in reverse, suddenly it accelerated without warning. The brakes were applied but would not engage causing the contact to crash into a car and then into a rock wall. The passenger suffered injuries to her back. A police report was filed for the incident.

Bad engine computer 2005 Toyota Corolla rough shifting.

Our 2005 Toyota Corolla (102,000 miles) experiences very hard automatic shifting that makes it sometimes difficult to control while driving. This just happened suddenly. At first the problem was just intermittent, but now it happens every time the car changes gears. We researched online and saw this is a very common problem with 05-07 Toyotas of certain models, and that it's due to a faulty ecm. Unfortunately, Toyota refuses to replace the ecm, which is the only ($1000+) solution.

Car was running with the shift in the park position for approximately 5 or 6 minutes. Suddenly it starting rolling fast in reverse. I was standing next to the car on the phone and when it started to roll didn't realize how fast it was moving so I tried to jump in to stop it. I was unable to make it in to the car, fell and rolled underneath it and the front tire ran over the right side of my body. The car continued to move fast until it came to a hill where it then turned around in to the forward position (not in reverse) and started moving very slowly until it hit a tree and stopped. I sustained a crush injury to my right side, fracturing all of my ribs in multiple places (flail chest). Was taken to a level 1 trauma hospital and admitted in to intensive care. Spent a number of weeks in the hospital and a 6 month recovery at home. Still have open fractures. When the car was checked by the police it was still in park with the ignition in the running position although the car was not running. Something went seriously wrong with the transmission that day.

I noticed an odd disruption in normal transmission function on my 2005 Toyota Corolla. I suspected it was due to a defective engine component . I went to the local Toyota dealership and was told that the engine control module needed to be replaced ;that the car would stop running without replacing it. On inquiry I was told that there is a problem with this component on 2005 Toyota Corolla's. The dealership refused to replace the component. I called the Toyota corporate office on June 8,2010 (1-800-331-4331) call reference number: 1006081641 it became apparent that Toyota knows there is a problem with defective engine control module's in 2005 Toyota Corolla's. If the phone call is pulled by the national highway safety traffic administration a wider problem with defective engine control modules may become evident. I identified the problem as a safety issue when I called the Toyota corporate office. The consumer had the necessary repairs made at the dealer at her expense. Updated ivoq 10/18/10.

The contact owns a 2005 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated that whenever she would shift from park and into drive or reverse, the vehicle would abnormally jerk forward or backward. When driving over 10 mph, the vehicle would also jerk and abnormally accelerate until she would depress the brakes. The vehicle was taken to an independent repair shop where the contact was informed that the ecu would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not serviced. The failure mileage was 86,000 and the current mileage was 88,000.

2005 Toyota Corolla le 4 door sedan. Incident mileage 106,000; current mileage 108,000. Harsh shift, engine warning light with dtc p2716. Occurs constantly. Car (especially in low gears) lurches forward as it shifts to the next gear. I have to be extra careful of my spacing to ensure I don't accidentally hit someone. Toyota service bulletin tc015-07 says the ecm should be replaced at the tune of 800+ dollars. Although I am over the 80k miles warranty for the Toyota federal emissions warranty "this warranty is in effect for 96 months or 80,000 miles, whichever occurs first, from the vehicle?s in-service date. ", I don't think that I should have to pay for a known defective component, especially since most of my miles are open-highway commuting and I am less than the 8 years of the warranty's time limit. Having a hard time finding a replacement part that I can trust.

At approximately 105,000 miles my Toyota Corolla began to develop harsh and jerky automatic gear changes which progressed. At 108,000 the dealer diagnosed this as a faulty engine control module ("computer") based on code p2716. Replacement of the module corrected the problem. I was informed that Toyota had a service bulletin dated September 20, 2007 TSB no. Tc014-06 indicating that they were aware of this defect and would cover under warranty to 96 months or 80,000 miles.
