Car experienced a sudden loss of power while turning a corner. Rolled to a stop, turned key all the way off and then was able to restart the car. Check engine light is now on.

I drove to Toyota arlington for tire rotation on 2/4/21 and the car was running fine. Odometer was 44091 miles. After leaving the dealership, I drove about a mile then the engine lost power. The car could only go about 5 mph. The car jerk up and down as if I drove on the rail road tracks. The check engine light, trac off and red steering wheel symbol lit up but not flashing. I went back to the dealer right away. I turned the car off, the attendant turned it back on. The check engine, track off and steering symbols were off. The code was not saved, so on 2/8/21 the independent shop could not duplicate the problem (44132 miles). On 2/12/21 the same symptoms came back at 44175 miles. This time the check engine light flashing, track off light and steering wheel symbols came on but not flashing. My wife turned the car off, waited for a few minutes then turned it on. The check engine light was off but the trac off light remained on. In the past, after I turned the car off and turned it on one click, the symbols were on, and when the ignition turned on, the symbols were off. This is a safety issue. The car also smell like a burning tire. We were driving about 35 mph on lane number 1 (next to yellow lines median) on a county 4 lanes highway. The car slowed down to about 5 mph, jerk up and down and the car vibrates and it happened twice in a week. The car is only 4. 5 years old and only 44175 miles. The second independent shop read the code as p0301, misfired. He suggested to bring the car to the dealer for Toyota to fix it under powertrain warranty. No repair has been done yet.

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.

We have a 2001 Toyota we noticed that the check engine light would come on every month and so I took the car to autozone for a free diagnostic test each time with the result showing that the car has an electric short circuit problem. This is a defect in the timing chain and a part called a cam. To fix the problem it would cost me around 800 dollars. I reported the problem but they just ignored me. The result is I have to do an oil change every 1200 miles as there is no oil in the engine after 800 miles. Normally one would have an oil change done every 3000 miles. So the check light comes on every 400 miles intervals. This problem has been reported by many people on forums about the 2001 Corolla, but Toyota never bothered fixing. In addition to this problem the plastic lining around our car windows, on all four doors has peeled off. I reported this to the Toyota dealer last spring. The assistant service manager acknowledged that Toyota knows about this lining problem and yet the dealer ignored me on this. Instead they asked me to cough up $450 to fix the problem. .

I have a 2009 Toyota Corolla (le). I bought it almost exactly 3 years ago with about 12,300 miles on it. Currently, it does not have 50k. I have to drive downtown for nursing school, it takes roughly 20-30 minutes. The very terrifying and incredibly dangerous issue that I have been having is that I will be driving 65mph on the expressway and it will suddenly just drop down to 30/40mph. Due to this issue, I have almost been in a crash. I will change lanes thinking my car will accelerate to pass someone and it will just drop down to 30mph! also, while I am idle, it will shake and rev. . So the rpm will be up close to 2; yet, I am idle! I have read of others experiencing similar issues. This is so dangerous and I do not understand why this has not been addressed sooner. The worst part is no one knows what is wrong. I took it and had a diagnostic test run, it said one of the ignition coils was faulty. . On a 2009 Toyota with less than 50k miles. . . That doesn't sound, right huh. Well, I took it to a mechanic and they gave me a new battery, an oil change and ran another diagnostic test (after switching the ignition coil(b) to another (acord). It recorded nothing. I spent $500 it was fine for about an hour then the check engine light came back on and it started doing the same thing. I am very angry with Toyota for not addressing this issue, especially since others have experienced it and it is dangerous. My safety and the safety of others is at risk.

My check engine light came on. I also notice when attempting to slow down, the car would accelerate. The engine would seem to stall almost like a dead spot. Then when depressing the gas pedal several times the engine would catch and jump forward. Almost hitting the vehicle in front of us. This car accelerates at times when braking and hesitates when pressing on the gas. I also noticed when I was stopped at a light, the car moved backwards after taking my feet off the brakes. It could of hit the car in back of us. I asked the sale lady, if this car was apart of the recall and she told me that if it was the dealership would have to fix it before they sold it. I had the car for less than 2 weeks. I hope this car doesn’t cause my family and someone else family harm. Big safety issue! big safety issue!.

After the Smart technology software was installed on my vehicle the check engine light came on. With the recalls Toyota has been having I felt it was necessary to take my car to an outside entity so I took my car to ntb for a diagnosis and was told that the 02 sensor on my vehicle was failing, the p02420 catalyst was below threshold. The consensus was that when the Smart stop was installed that the 02 sensors should of been replaced as well. In addition the codes were flagged shortly after ecu update. Why was this not done as part of the recall? these two go hand in hand. The Smart stop recall needs to be recalled or upgraded to include the sensors. My car shutters now when coming to a stop or start, which did not occur prior to the software upgrade. I am afraid to drive it. . I dont know when it will stop altogether and not restart. Will I be on the highway?? this was not thought through and rushed into. As a consumer, I am looking at a huge repair bill that I shouldnt have to if the recall was done properly.

This problem has occurred frequently since the first event: for no known reason, engine rpms drop to point where vehicle barely moving. Can shut vehicle off and restart and problem goes away. Check engine light comes on but no help in diagnosis. Been to dealer several times. Replaced ecm and tried other possible "fixes". So far, has only occurred in rural areas at speeds of 35 mph or less. Fortunately not much traffic. Check engine light will go off by itself as problem "fixes itself". A potentially dangerous situation but no answers from dealer or manufacturer.

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.

I was currently on 1 and 9 north of jersey city NJ. I was on a stop light and when it turned green, the car did not accelerate as much as it was suppose to when you press on gas pedal. It was literally moving 5 miles per hour. I was pressing the gas pedal for the car to go but it was still not even moving up. I turned on the hazards and pulled over. Then the check engine light came on. I turned off the car first. I checked the gas tank and the engine but I couldn't find anything wrong with it. The check engine light was lit until the next day. I brought it to the car dealership and they said they are not 100% sure what is wrong with it but they disconnected the alarm wire to see if that was the problem. The second problem of this car is when you press on the brake, it still moves a little bit. When you start going and pressing on the gas pedal, you have to press on it harder for it to go but it gases up than it normally does. I have recently saw the previous owners receipts for its car service and he had the same problem. He always had to fix the accelerator but until now, it is still the same and still needs to be fixed. I don't know what to do and where to go to fix this problem.
