Automatic Transmission problems of the 2007 Toyota Corolla

I bought a brand new Toyota Corolla 2007, recently I have had the check engine light come on and off for several months. When I went to check on what was the problem at the dealership they advised me I needed another transmission. I am concerned because the car isn't even 4 years old and the dealership says it is not my fault. They told me the transmission converter torque is sticking, and that they would replace for $5700. 00. The only way to repair it , is to.

I have a 2007 Toyota Corolla with 30k miles on it. Two weeks ago my check engine light turned on and the automatic transmission began shifting roughly. After a while it would start running ok and the check engine light would go off. I took it to jiffy lube thinking that it was low on transmission fluid and it was not. This continued for two weeks and I took it to the dealership this morning. They replaced the ecm under warranty. I looked this problem up on the internet and discovered that this is widespread and very dangerous in certain instances. . Read more...

While driving to work in the morning, the 'check engine' light for my 2007 Toyota Corolla came on, and the car began to 'jerk' or 'stutter', as though it was switching gears or losing power. My husband and I took the car into the dealer, and they found codes p0441, and most importantly p2716 -- correction was r&r engine control module, and the people working on it seemed to have knowledge of the issue.

My 2007 Toyota Corolla with approximately 68,000 miles is suddenly having harsh to violent transmission shifts after the check engine light came on. I had a shop identify or diagnose the check engine light code. They said it was code p2716. I conducted an internet investigation and discovered several people also experiencing identical issues. Also, the same investigation revealed Toyota was aware of the issue and released a technical service bulletin. To me, the problem is not an issue of wear and tear. Instead, it's clear there's a defect in a part of the car which can potentially lead to an accident.

I was looking for an unfamiliar address on a very steep hill, and I stopped briefly to look around. I took my foot off the brake and, as would be expected, rolled back a bit while moving from brake to gas. I pressed the gas pedal and got no response; my car started rolling uncontrollably and swiftly backward. No gas, no brake. I was able to stop my car only by pulling the parking brake. I learned at the dealership the my car was designed to do this. No kidding; if you roll back more than a couple of inches when your car is in "drive," as you will necessarily do on a steep hill, your engine will shut off automatically and you will lose control of your car. The tech at the dealership acted like I was an idiot for not knowing this. I asked "so the engine will shut off to save the transmission, at the expense of lives and property threatened by an uncontrollable vehicle?" he just shrugged. It is a miracle that I did not hit anyone or end up in the trees. The 2007 Toyota Corolla is an unsafe car, and should be taken off the road.
