Engine tries to stall at speeds of 50 to 40, more at 40. When this occurs the rpm needle jumps up past 3 then drops to below one comes up and jumps. I took it in to the dealer and they had just received a recall notice from Toyota,it recommended it be flashed to stop what they said was a miss fire, this was done on 12/05/11. I drove it home it started doing it again,so I took it back in they reflashed it said that it would be alright. Not so it continues to misfire and act like is fixing to stall. I took it back again the head of service drove it said it was jumping in and out of overdrive just drive it don't worry about it . Well it seems to be getting worse so I took it back in the service guy said after driving it was the best driving Corolla he had been in ,course I knew that was not so cause to this day it keeps trying to stall in traffic. The steering seems to be getting hard to control it weaves more than it should like the front end is out of alignment but if you let go it tracks straight. I am really afraid to drive this car if it does stall in traffic there is going to be a serious wreck. I contacted Toyota they said there is no recalls on the Corolla not true my paper work shows they did a service recall to the dealers. What should I do next? I use this car to drive my 87 year old mother to the store and doctor god forbid it stalls with me driving her somewhere. I am paying good money for something I'm afraid to drive,it's just not right I bought this thinking it was a reliable source of transportation and it's not it's scary. I feel this car has a major computer issue, it's going to turn out to be serious.
When I take my foot off the acclerator, it feels like I have the cruize control. The car deselerate very slowly for anywhere between . 5 to 1 mile then the rpm drops suddenly as it should when you first take your foot of the pedal. The other related problem is that if I'm just trying to maintain a constant speed anywhere between 50 and 60 miles/hr it feels like the engine stalls for a very brief moment then shortly after comes back to the original rpm. When I drive car down hill try to apply break to maintain the speed of the car acceleration increases suddenly 3 to 4 thousand rpm and after 3 to 4 seconds cars come to normal engine rpm both problems describe above are easily reproducable and my local Toyota dealer said its normal. Its very scary to drive this car and since 3 years I was complaining to local dealer and get same answer every time its normal. Please do some thing about this.
