Check Engine Light On problems of the 2007 Toyota Corolla

Started car this morning and the check engine light came on. Took to parts store and hooked it up to the computer and found codes (p2401, p043e, p043f, p2402, p2419) everything I have researched comes back to evap canister failure, and possible wiring failure. More research shows these issues causing people getting stranded and others with no problem other then light, and others with a strong gas smell. If this causes a gas smell, then a potential fire hazard is formed.

On April 28 2014 I reserved a rental car from priceless rental car in inglewood CA. Upon receiving the vehicle, there was no inspection or any kind of walk-around to ensure its condition. I drove it from lax to san francisco, and during the entire journey the check engine light was on and my gas mileage efficiency was dropping rapidly. The vehicle also shook at speeds around 60-70mph and would jerk and jolt whenever I applied the gas pedal to increase rpm. I am sure that there is no vehicle inspection or maintenance ocurring on a weekly, monthly, or even a daily basis.

The additional diagnostic test was not performed since the manufacturer should be responsible for the cost. The failure mileage was 106,000.

My daughter's 2007 Corolla "check engine light" illuminated while driving back to college on 8/29/10. She stated that the car started to jerk periodically also. She was able to drive home safely the following day and I took it to my mechanic on 8/30/10. He said that there was a bulletin released regarding a recall on the ecm and to take it to the dealer for repair. I took it to Toyota mall of georgia and handed the service rep the printout of the bulletin and explained what had happened. I asked him if this had to do with the recent recall - he said that this wasn't recent since the date on the bulletin was 2007. He said probably the ecm needed to be replaced and would call when he knew for sure. A few hours later he said that the ecm was replaced at no charge. In the interim, I had done some research and found that there was a recall bulletin issued on 8/26/10 so when I picked up the car later that evening, I questioned a different service rep and he said he didn't know about any recall! huh? didn't the other rep tell me that this was from 2007? I said why did you replace the ecm then, he said because there is a start up issue with the ecm. I told him we weren't having start up trouble, but that the engine light came on and the car started to jerk. I told him what I had learned about the engine stalling while driving and asked him if these issues were fixed with this replacement and he said no, just the start up issue!! he said since there wasn't a recall on the stalling issue, they couldn't fix this. I was totally confused and did not feel safe putting my daughter back in that car. Now I see all these complaints going back to 2007 regarding this. Toyota has known about this for 3 years and has done nothing to inform the public. Meanwhile my daughter has basically been driving a time bomb for the past 3 years!! I don't feel that the replacement has corrected the problem, so now what is my recourse? please help!.

Toyota Corolla ce 2007. Check engine light was on. Cruising on freeway at speed limit when engine shifts into a stall. Cannot accelerate and must pull over. Shut down car and restart, works fine but engine light still on. Calls dealer, they say a TSB was released concerning a faulty engine control unit in some 2007 Corollas. TSB was released in July 2009. I was never informed of potential problem until I called service department and described event. Scheduled for diagnosis and repair in two days, dealer says if it falls under TSB the ecu will be replaced under warranty. Very dangerous problem, I was driving late at night with very little traffic. If this had happened during busy rush hour traffic or even on crowded local road high risk of accident.

My Corolla 2007 stopped on the middle of the road with check engine light suddenly on and battery light is also on without any warning. After two minutes I was able to turn on and drew one block to a mechanic shop and asked them to check battery and other problems. Mechanic said battery is weak, he recommended to change battery, but he said some other problems may exist. I asked him to change battery. He changed and it started ok. No check engine light. After I drew three signals, car stopped on the middle of the road again with check engine light suddenly on without any warning and battery light is also on. I towed the car to dealer. As per invoice they did following work. ?p0607- ecm shortened, replaced ecm and re-checked: operates as designed?. My car is under warranty, they did not charge for parts and service. I strongly believe it is a manufacturer defect. If this problem occurred on freeway, that could be dangerous and lead to fatal crash.

My 2007 Toyota Corolla died while pulling out of a parking lot, I restarted it and when I shifted it back into gear it made a hard clunk and would not get over approximately 25 miles per hour. I got the care home and the check engine light was on. After reading the owners manual it explained that it could have been the gas cap possibly. Removed and reinstalled it the car seemed to run fine, then the check engine light came back on. The next day I was driving and the same thing happened, the car have now done this several time. I did read on the internet that I'm not the only person having this problem and some people were told it was because of improper maintenance. I not that not to be true.

My 2007 Toyota Corolla engine stalled. I started the engine and went back inside the house and when I returned to the car I noticed the engine was off (which was bizarre because I knew I had turned it on). Of course the radio was still on. Several attempts to start it either resulted in the car not starting and in other instances it would start for a second and then shut off. I had to borrow my husband's car for the day. When I got home, my husband and I tried starting the engine again and realized that it was stalling, also the engine check light was on. My husband told me he read an article recently about Corollas and matrix problems so he went back and read the article online and realized that this was the same issues my car was experiencing. I also checked the Corolla manual and saw that the engine light says take the car to Toyota immediately.

2007 Toyota Corolla le 41k miles bought used a month ago. . I been experiencing very similar behavioral patterns as noted in NHTSA recall campaign number: pe09054 . While driving the car normally around 40mph+ and sometimes at highway speeds, very randomly engine stalls or slowly lowers to about 2000 rpm almost immediately the engine light come on. . I tried to give it more gas but engine won't pick up above 2000rpm. I pull over to the side. Shut the engine off. Then restarts the car with no issues, engine light turns off and I continue driving normally again. . This happens at least 2 times in my daily commute (30 minutes one way) . . And is getting more and more frequent.

2-17-10 2007 Toyota Corolla stalled on 4 lane highway. I had to rent a car. Went back to the car and it started and ran fine for a few days. Then started stalling again. Once when on interstate I-26 I was in passing lane doing 65 mph and it stalled and I had to get it off the road. I was almost run over by irate motorist. If that's not a safety problem I don't know what is. Problem became progressively worse and it would stall every 10-15 miles. Took it to mechanic on 3-15-10 and he installed a new oxygen sensor and everything was fine for the next 100 miles. Now the check engine light is back on and the mechanic suspects the ecm is the problem. Now I'm afraid to drive the car. Don't know if used parts are available.

I bought a 2007 Toyota Corolla about 3 years ago. I had a very bad experience on Jan. 29, 2010. (1) firstly, when I got off work, I could not start the engine. I tried 3 times, and engine was finally started and both the battery and engine check lights were on. I was very worried and decided to go to a dealership the next day. (2) the next morning, I drove to a Toyota dealership nearby. When I stopped at a red traffic light on my way to the dealership, my engine was shut off automatically!!! I was so nervous, quickly turned on my emergency light and tried to start the engine again. The engine was started and finally I arrived at Toyota dealership. The dealer checked my car and found the engine control module went bad. They replaced it with a new ecm. The problem went away for now. My car is only about 22,000 miles. I am very concerned about the quality of Toyota's electronics.

My 2007 Toyota Corolla stalled while driving within the city at 45 mph, with the accelerator pedal becoming non responsive and the engine losing out power. The engine check light also went on. This stalling issue happened twice and I had to drive onto the curb to evade potentially dangerous accident in the traffic. Both the incidents occurred on 08/06/2008. Subsequent to the stalling the car would not start. After trying few time I could get it to start once more and barely managed to drive it to the dealers service station. The dealer kept the car overnight and called me to inform next day that they could not quite figure out the problem and replaced the computer in the car. The car being under warranty I was not charged anything. The dealer comments on my invoice stated - "engine ecu malfunction replace engine ecu". (for the stalling problem) "immobilizer not responding". (for the engine check light) the incident has not occurred since.
