5 Engine Stall problem

Failure Date: 08/13/2009

Hello, I am writing to you in relation to a recent problem I had with my 2006 Toyota Corolla. The short story is that the car's engine died while driving and wouldn't restart. I had to tow the car to a Toyota dealership where it was inspected and found that the electronic control module (ecm) had failed (error code p0607) and needed replacement. Since the car is still relatively new, I was astonished to find that the "brain" of the car is out of order and has to be replaced. What's worse is that this problem could cause highly dangerous situations where the car's engine stalls in the middle of a highway while driving at 65 mph. . Read more...

6 Engine Stall problem

Failure Date: 01/14/2008

While driving my 2006 Toyota Corolla, the vehicle gasoline engine stalled without warning. I was able to pull over out of traffic with no incident. I have great concern for safety of others since I normally drive on the major interstates. I tried to restart but no results. Vehicle had to be tolled to dealership. Dealership explained that it was the ecm or the engine computer that failed. This incident is similar to NHTSA investigation, #pe05029 dated may 31, 2005, where gasoline/electric hybrid vehicles gasoline engines would stall. Facts found that analysis of the warranty data indicated that over 97% of vehicles experiencing a gas engine stall resulted from an issue with the program logic in the electronic control module (ecm) system. Major concern is safety on major interstates at high speeds and the vehicle stalling out with no warning. The other concern is that it cost me $1,229. 69 to replace the ecm, plus $80. 25 to have it tolled to the dealership.
