Monday, August 23, 2010, while driving on a main highway with a hill my car stalled. My check engine light was the only thing showing in my dash. I pushed the gas pedal to the floor; the vehicle continued to slow down and I was frightened that someone would rear end me or that my car would start rolling back down the hill. Thank god no one was traveling at the legal speed of 65 mph when this happened. I turned my vehicle back in the direction that I came from to have my husband help me look for why this happened. He said most likely it was the battery and replaced it that evening. Tuesday, August 24, 2010, late evening I parked my car in a poteau oklahoma shopping center for about an hour after driving some twenty plus miles.

I shifted toward park and noticed that when it reached the reverse on gear shift console the hard shift lessened but in park no harshness or lurching.

We got the recall notices for our two 2008 Corollas. . For the NHTSA campaign number: 10v384000. . Then we got the other letter saying that we can go and get our cars serviced. We did and there they told us that both our cars werent affected by the recall. Yet while we where waiting to be called up one of the mechanics told me that both our cars needed to get whatever they where going to do to them done. . Ever since then we have had our check engine light on, for both cars. . We have spent a large amount of money trying to pass smog checks in California. . . Are there any I dont know records of what circuit boards had that problem? I want for my mechanic to check if indeed the board we have on our cars wasnt a part of the recall or if we got screwed. . . Do the boards have serial numbers and is it know what serial numbers needed the recalls. The Toyota people didnt even open the hood of the car. . . We waited a couple hours to finally get called up and then they had the car two minutes and told us our car was good. Though it wasnt, it had all the symptoms of the recall. . I would like to know also what it is they said about the recall on ouyr cars. . Did they say they fixed them or what. That would be interesting to me. . Now unfortunately the kept the recall notices. . So I dont have any of those. . Ever since that recall its been an uphill battle wit this car.
