My car made a sound like rocks in a blender and stopped moving forward. I shifted in to neutral and coasted to a stop. The sound was from the automatic transmission. I tried to shift back into gear (drive) but was unable to get it to go into drive and the sound the trans was making was to say the least horrible . At the time this happened I was heading for the on ramp to interstate 90. I had four children in this car and can only imagine what the outcome would have been if this had happened one minute later!!! I shut the car off and did not restart it. I had towed to my local Toyota dealership and they have informed me that the transmission will need to be replaced!! $3600. 00 for a transmission and my car has only been driven 53000 miles! this is my 8th Toyota and possibly last!! I will see what Toyota has to say. So far ,their only offer(your transmission is bad). No reason why!! this is not the quality owners of this car brand have come to rely on!!.

2006 Toyota Corolla with 1zz-fe has recently stalled twice shortly after being started.

While driving my 2006 Toyota Corolla s (sport) at around 60 mph, the engine lost power without warning and began rapidly decreasing traveling speed to 10-15 miles mph. Then, the check engine light came on. I attempted to apply gas to correct the problem, but the car continued declining in speed. After pulling over to the side of the road, I turned the car off, and then restarted the vehicle. The car started and began operation as if nothing had occurred. I had the car checked at an auto parts store, and was instructed to take it to the nearest dealership. I researched the issue online and found a preponderance of complaints with the exact experience to mine from owners of (2005-2007). Outraged owners expressed that it was common knowledge among dealers that there was engine computer issue, and a subsequent technical service bulletin was issued without notifying owners of this matter. I relayed this information to the Toyota of easley dealership. The service manager gave me a lot of pushback on the matter, said I was 4,000 miles over their free replacement period (8 yrs/80,000 miles). I responded that the mileage wasn't the cause it is commonly known to be defective. Finally, after speaking my call to the Toyota helpline and his district manager, the parts manager agreed to cut the fee 50% from $724 to $352. At this point, they charged me $85 just to look at the car so I had no other recourse but to pay to have them fix this since the car was beginning to lose engine power in this manner every 10 to 15 miles. Upon leaving Toyota of easley and returning to my apartment, I called a few other dealerships that I had patronized previously. The response that I received from another dealership was bring the car in immediately. This is a common problem with the 2006 Corollas, and even if we can't do this for you for free, Toyota should be able to refund you for this matter because its so commonplace.

Failure of powertrain control module, obdii code p2716. Vehicle stops all forward progress. Toyota has issued TSB on issue. Appears rampant by internet search. Just occurred to me.

Ecm (engine control module) is defective. Car loses power and sometimes dies while driving, also the transmission shifts very hard going into each gear. A search on the internet finds that this is a common issue with many Toyota models for 2006-2007. Dealer has offered a warranty fix for cars still under factory warranty only. This is a serious and potentially deadly issue and is due to a defective part , not normal wear and tear. This issue should have resulted in a recall a long time ago! its time that our government watchdogs start protecting the consumer, not the corporations.

Check engine light came on and car died while driving. Ecu not communicating with techstream. Ecu replaced.

I recently encountered a power loss while I was driving my 2006 Toyota Corolla, the opposite of the acceleration problem that is in the news. After stopping to fill up the car with gasoline, I could only get the car to go about 5 to 10 miles an hour when I used the acceleration pedal. Despite using the hazard lights, I was concerned that someone was going to ram into the car as I limped into a garage to have the car looked at. The vehicle had to be towed to the nearest Toyota dealer who uncovered (after a computerized system check) an internal ecu failure. . . Some sort of computer circuit failure. The only advanced warning about a computer failure that I can recall receiving occurred earlier in the morning when I noticed the dashboard lights weren't working right. The ecu was replaced by the dealer. I do not have the old part.

2006 and other years of Toyota Corolla. Ecm defect causes had shifting of transmission and has resulted in sudden loss of all power when driving. Cases of this problem are widely reported on the internet by owners of these vehicles but no action has been taken by the NHTSA to order a recall or to hold the company liable to repair these vehicles. Where is the focus of the NHTSA???.

I was changing lanes from the left hand lane to the right hand lane in a 2006 Toyota Corolla. The vehical accelerated suddenly left the road went through the cable barrier and over turned in opposing lanes. I was knocked unconcious. This happened at 6:00 on 7/15/2009 on I 10 in borne, TX.

Engine quit unexpectedly. Would not restart. Toyota service bulletin eg042-07 applies but would not be completed because of vehicle mileage. In the end replacing the ecu repaired the problem.

Check engine light on and off for two weeks. Harsh shifting when on. Toyota service wouldn't check until light was on during my appointment. Diagnostic code p2716. Toyota service replaced engine control module - technical service bulletin 9/20/2007 tc015-07. Covered under Toyota federal emissions warranty.

I have a 2006 Toyota Corolla ce, it's automatic with the drive shift in the center console. Shortly after purchase I noticed if the shift is barely bumped it knocks the car into neutral while driving at any speed. I have been very careful not to bump it, but yesterday I hit a bump on the interstate it knocked me into neutral, I was not aware I was out of gear, because a 18 wheeler was barreling down on my bumper, so I couldn't hear the change in the motor, but when I tried to accelerate to get out of his way, the car wouldn't go faster, then I noticed my tachometer was at 4 1/2 and knew there was a problems so I took the shoulder. I have a 17 year old son that will be driving soon, I don't feel safe with him driving because of the potential of either causing a accident, or breaking down, or ruining the car all together. The dealership shrugged their shoulders and said it didn't happen to them in a test drive around the parking lot. And all models of cars have the capability to be moved into neutral when bumped, and with out pushing the button on the shift.
