I am the owner of 2009 Toyota Corolla. I have to press my brake pedal hard and almost all the way down to make my car to stop. I called my dealership about the problem but the dealership want to charge me $89 to look at it. I called Toyota customer service line but got no result. I am also smelling burning odor coming from my vents when I turn the heat on. I called the dealership and all they want is to charge me money to look at my problem.
My daughter and son-in-law while driving in their 09 Toyota Corolla, experienced uncontrolled acceleration; on a straight piece of dry pavement, causing the vehicle to shoot into the oncoming lane (a condition known as torsional steering by some) on a 2 way traffic road striking a car in the oncoming lane and thus causing a major accident. There were only slight injuries. Though the wheels were pointed straight ahead, the car veered left as the car uncontrollably sped up. My son-in-law states that his foot was not on the pedal. The action initiated after he depressed the pedal to accelerate along with other traffic. The car was repair by the insurance but still has the original problem. It has only done it the time that the car was involved in the accident and my daughter and son in law have been reluctant to use it since the accident so thus we have not had the experience recur. Yes the original part is available and still on the vehicle, though Toyota is scheduled to either repair it or replace it soon.

When slowing down from 65 mph the whole car shakes out of controll. This does not happen every time but pretty consistent now my check engine and traction controll light stays lit while the esc light blinks. This has happened now three times over past 6 months.
