Computer Failure problems of the 2007 Toyota Corolla

On June 13th 2011 my wife was on a NY state highway driving home from work traveling at 65mph and the car engine shut off. My wife was very lucky as she rolled to the side of highway that she was not rear ended. My wife restarted car after 15 minutes, but car shut off 2 more times. My wife was able to pull into a car repair shop because the car would not restart. The next day repair shop said you need to get Toyota to a dealership. The repair shop said the main computer failed. The ecm, electronic control module. I had a diagnostic fee $40. 50 from repair shop that Toyota refused to reimburse me. I had car towed and Toyota fixed the problem they said it was a recalled. However I did not receive a recall notice until after my Toyota was repaired. I wrote two letters asking for the $40. 50 that I had to pay for something they caused. I did not request towing fees because I have aarp coverage. I explained in my letter to Toyota corp. That a $40. 50 charge is a small price to pay for my wife who could have been killed on the highway. You would think a company of this size would bend over backwards to make everything right in order 2 maintain customer loyalty.

While driving on a crowded 4 lane street in wadsworth ohio , my car suddenly lost acceleration, it did not stall but the check engine light came on and the speed reduced to 5 to 10 miles instantly with busy traffic all around me, I put my hazard lights on right away because there were cars coming behind me at normal speed, I slowly moved my car cautiously to the furthest right lane, where I was able to go into a parking lot. This has happened on several occasions, I was able to get the car to my mechanic where he hooked it up to a computer analyzer, the result showed that the control module performance code p0607, which is a computer malfunction, we have contacted a Toyota dealer, we have an appointment for them to do there own diagnosis, and hopefully fix the problem, in the mean time I cannot drive car and not worry about my safety on the road.

My husband's 2007 Toyota Corolla came to a complete and sudden stop while he was driving. Fortunately, he was able to get to the side of the road without an accident and aaa towed him to a Toyota dealer/service dept. The asst. Service manager had the main computer replaced at no charge on the warranty. He told us that they have seen the main computer suddenly fail only on Toyota Corolla's 2003 - 2007. This is serious and I am very shaken -- it could have happened in an intersection or on the freeway. His attitude implied that it was not uncommon.
