2007 TOYOTA COROLLA Vehicle Speed Control Problems

Uncontrolled maximum acceleration after shifting into gear. Occurred after shifting gears such as parking. It represents a definite safety issue. There is no warning of occurrence. It has happened about 6 times in the past 4 years. I do not drive often. I contacted Toyota who referred me to the dealer. I had it checked by the Toyota dealer, who denied there is a problem. I would welcome a independent inspection. I have notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in April but have heard nothing from them since.

The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated that after starting the vehicle, there was an intermittent unintended acceleration without the accelerator pedal being depressed. No warning light was illuminated. The contact depressed the brake pedal, and the vehicle was able to be stopped. The vehicle was taken to an unknown dealer, but no cause for the failure was found. The dealer replaced the floor mats. The contact stated that the failure recurred intermittently. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 23,000.

Mileage: 23,000

The car wouldn’t break a few months back causing it to smash into the person infront of me ever since then and getting repaired nothing has fixed it.

THIS HAPPENED ABOUT FOUR WEEKS APART WITH TWO DIFFERENT DRIVERS UNDER SIMILAR CONDITIONS. WE WERE SLOWING TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN TRAVELING 5-10 MPH AND WHEN WE APPLIED THE BRAKE, THE ENGINE REVED UP. WHEN IT HAPPENED TO ME THE THE CAR WOULDN'T STOP WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKE SO I PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND THUS AVOIDED HITTING CAR AHEAD OF ME. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER. THEY HAD IT FOR A DAY AND HALF AND SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THEY SAID I SHOULD REMOVE MY AFTER MARKET CAR MAT ( WHICH I HAVE) AND SUGGESTED THAT BOTH DRIVERS HAD APPLIED THE BRAKE AND ACCELORATOR AT THE SAME TIME. I THINK THIS IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY AS MY FOOT ISN'T WIDE ENOUGH TO DO BOTH UNLESS MY FOOT IS NEARLY OFF THE BRAKE. THE CAR MAT IN QUESTION HAS BEEN THE CAR FOR 6 PLUS YEARS AND IS A CUSTOM MADE ONE WHICH DOES NOT SLIP.

RE: TOYOTA 2007 COROLLA: WHEN DRIVING (IN REVERSE) OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE CAR WOULD SUDDENLY JERK, EMIT A LOT OF FUMES, AND IT WOULD TAKE OFF ON ITS OWN. PUTTING PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP THE CAR- ONLY TURNING OFF THE IGNITION KEY STOPS THE CAR. LAST TIME THIS OCCURRED WAS ON NOVEMBER 4, 2014. AFTER DRIVING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND CHANGING GEARS FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE, THE CAR AGAIN JERKED, MADE A LEFT TURN, DROVE ACROSS OUR LAWN, THROUGH THE BUSHES AND TO OUR NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR?S LAWN. WE ARE LUCKY THAT IT DID NOT SLAM INTO OUR HOUSE OR THE ELECTRIC POLE CLOSE TO OUR DRIVEWAY- EITHER ONE WOULD PROBABLY HAVE KILLED US. THE CAR HAS ITS OWN MIND AND DOES NOT RESPOND TO ANYTHING THAT THE DRIVER TRIES TO DO TO STOP THE CAR FROM MOVING OTHER THAN TURNING OFF THE IGNITION KEY. THE TOYOTA DEALER, OF COURSE, ASSERTS THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. *TR

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA. LAST FRIDAY, I WAS DRIVING AT A REGULAR SPEED ABOUT 35 MPH AND MY COROLLA ACCELERATED. I TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKE AND IT CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE FOR AWHILE. I DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO; SO, I PRAYED. I WAS COMING TO A TRAFFIC LIGHT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN NOT KNOWING IF THE CAR WAS GOING TO STOP, AND I TRIED THE BRAKE AGAIN. FINALLY, THE CAR SLOWED DOWN. I DROVE IT 10 MPH UNTIL I REACHED MY HOUSE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED. THEY BLAMED ME. I TOLD THEM THAT I WOULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR AGAIN AND TOWED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP KEPT THE CAR AND KEPT IT FOR FOUR DAYS. THE MECHANICS AT THE DEALERSHIP TEST DROVE THE CAR AND SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. I TOLD THEM THAT I WOULD NOT DRIVE IT. THEY SAID THEY WOULD BRING IN A SPECIALIST THAT WOULD BE IN ON MONDAY OR TUESDAY. THEY CALLED ME ON MONDAY AND SAID THAT THE MASTER MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP LOOKED AT IT INSTEAD AND A SPECIALIST WOULD NOT BE BROUGHT IN TO LOOK AT THE CAR. THE MASTER MECHANIC SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT. THEY DID A STATE INSPECTION ON THE CAR AND PASSED IT. WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR, MY DAUGHTER SPOKE TO A SERVICE DEPARTMENT ADVISOR. SHE SHOWED HIM ALL THE EVIDENCE THAT SHE FOUND ON THE INTERNET ABOUT PROBLEMS OWNERS' HAD WITH TOYOTA CARS ACCELERATING OUT-OF-CONTROL. THEY LISTENED AND STILL SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WHEN THEY CHECKED THE CAR, BUT COULD NOT DO ANYTHING. SHE TOLD HIM THAT SHE REALIZED THAT TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS MUST HAVE SENT A SCRIPT TO ALL DEALERS BECAUSE THEIR DEALERSHIP ALONG WITH OTHERS SAID THE EXACT SAME THING. SHE TOLD HIM THAT SHE JUST WANTED IT DOCUMENTED THAT I SPOKE UP AND CONFRONTED THEM ABOUT THE ISSUE AND TOLD HIM HOW CONCERNED I WAS ABOUT MY SAFETY AS WELL AS OTHERS. I AM 73 YEARS OLD AND WANT TO BE SAFE FOR ME AND OTHERS.

I AM WRITING TO YOU BECAUSE I WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT IN THE FIRST YEAR OF PURCHASING MY CAR ON DECEMBER 25, 2007. I PURCHASED A TOYOTA COROLLA CE 2007 FROM DENBIGH TOYOTA (NEWPORT NEWS VA) ON JANUARY 25, 2007. I BELIEVE MY CAR ACCELERATED INTO AN ELECTRICAL POLE. I WAS ONLY TRYING TO PARK MY CAR. IT HIT SO HARD, THAT THE REPAIRS TO MY CAR WERE IN EXCESS OF $2600, AND THERE WAS DAMAGES DONE TO THE ELECTRICAL POLE. IT WAS A VERY FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE. THE OFFICERS THAT HELPED ME FROM THE CAR ASKED WHAT HAD HAPPEN. I TOLD HIM THAT I REALLY DIDN'T KNOW. I JUST WANTED TO PARK MY CAR. THE POLE WAS DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME, AND THERE WERE THICK SHRUBS BETWEEN MY CAR AND THE POLE AS WELL. MY CAR ACCELERATED SO UNBELIEVABLY FAST, THAT I HIT THE POLE THE FIRST TIME REALLY HARD. THEN, I BACKED UP AWAY FROM THE POLE AND THE SHRUBS AND STOPPED. I ATTEMPTED TO PULL INTO THE PARKING SPACE AGAIN, THE CAR ACCELERATED AND I SLAMMED INTO THE POLE AGAIN. IT WAS NOT THE FIRST MAJOR ISSUE THAT I HAD WITH THE CAR. WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF THE PURCHASE DATE, THE VEHICLE STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, AND LOCKED UP. I HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, TO HAVE THEM TELL ME THAT THE COMPUTER SYSTEM WAS FAULTY AND ON RECALL. SO, I ALLOWED THEM TO REPLACE IT. TODAY, I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAUSED MY CAR TO DO WHAT IT DID ON 12/25, BECAUSE IT COULD HAVE BEEN ANYTHING. I JUST DON'T WANT THIS CAR ANYMORE, AND AM A LITTLE AFRAID. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT. I HAVE MANY ISSUES WITH THE CAR, BUT AM USED TO DRIVING IT. I CAN NOT AFFORD AN EXPERT TO LOOK AT MY CAR. IT CAN BE SOLD, OR I CAN TRADE IT AS I HAVE ONLY TWO YEARS LEFT ON MY CONTRACT. BUT, IT IS NOT THE RIGHT THING TO DO. I DON?T WANT WHAT HAPPENED TO ME TO HAPPEN TO SOMEONE ELSE. BUT, I DON'T WANT IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN TO ME. MY MODEL CAR IS NOT CURRENTLY ON RECALL. MY LAWYER REFERRED ME TO YOU. IF YOU CAN HELP ME IN ANY WAY WITH MY SITUATION, I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT. I NEED PEACE OF MIND FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. *TR

WE WERE SITTING THERE WITH THE ENGINE IDLING, MY HUSBAND'S FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE MOTOR ROARED AND THE CAR BEGAN TO SURGE FORWARD. HE STEPPED HARD ON THE BRAKE AND IT STOPPED. SCARED US TO SAY THE LEAST. IT HAS NOT OCCURRED AGAIN, BUT SOMETIMES WHEN WE ARE ON THE HIGHWAY, WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON AND IT ACCELERATES, IT WILL NOT BACK OFF AND THE CAR WILL CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE UNTIL WE STEP ON THE BRAKE. IF YOU STEP ON THE BRAKE AND DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL THE ACCELERATION WILL STOP. IN LIGHT OF THE RECENT INCIDENTS WE FELT WE SHOULD REPORT THESE INCIDENTS. WE READ THE REPORT ON THE RUNAWAY PRIUS AND THAT YOU COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE INCIDENT. I AM CONVINCED, BASED ON OUR EXPERIENCE THAT YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE INCIDENT. WE FEEL STRONGLY, BASED ON THE PERFORMANCE OF OUR OWN VEHICLE THAT IT IS A COMPUTER/ELECTRICAL PROBLEM OF SOME SORT AND THAT IT COULD BE CONNECTED TO THE CRUISE CONTROL.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING TWO SEPARATE PROBLEMS WITH THE ACCELERATION OF MY 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA LE. THE FIRST PROBLEM IS WITH MY GAS PEDAL. I NOTICED THAT OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS MY GAS PEDAL HAS BEEN BECOMING HARDER TO PRESS DOWN. WHEN I AM PRESSING DOWN THE GAS PEDAL I ALSO EXPERIENCE THE PROBLEM OF THE VEHICLE "JUMPING" AND SUDDENLY ACCELERATING QUICKER INSTEAD OF SMOOTH ACCELERATION AS TOYOTA HAS SAID VEHICLES SHOULD HAVE. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO AND HAS ONLY BEEN GETTING WORSE THE SECOND ISSUE IS WITH MY CRUISE CONTROL. MY MOTHER ACTUALLY NOTICED THIS PROBLEM BEFORE I DID WHEN SHE WAS DRIVING MY CAR BUT I HAVE SEEN IT HAPPEN A FEW TIMES WHEN I'VE BEEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. WHEN I SET MY CRUISE CONTROL AND THERE IS ANY TYPE OF HILL MY CAR NATURALLY DECELERATES SLIGHTLY BEFORE MY CRUISE CONTROL STEPS IN AND COMPENSATES FOR THE INCLINE. WHEN I RETURN TO FLAT GROUND HOWEVER, I WOULD EXPECT MY CAR TO RETURN TO THE SPEED THAT I HAD SET MY CRUISE CONTROL TO. MOST OF THE TIME IT DOES BUT ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION INSTEAD OF PICKING BACK UP TO THE SET SPEED MY VEHICLE HAS ACTUALLY ACCELERATED FASTER THAN THE SPEED I HAD SET. THIS PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF THE PURCHASE OF MY VEHICLE. I DIDN'T NOTICE THESE AS A PROBLEM BECAUSE I HAD ALREADY CHECKED TO MAKE SURE MY TOYOTA WASN'T UNDER ANY CURRENT RECALLS AND IT WASN'T. MY MOTHER HOWEVER POINTED OUT THAT BOTH OF THESE THINGS ARE ABNORMAL AND I NEEDED TO TAKE THEM IN TO TOYOTA AND FILE A REPORT WITH YOU. I HAVE A SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH TOYOTA FOR 10/22/10 BUT WAS TOLD IF THEY FIND A PROBLEM WITH EITHER OF THESE THINGS IT MAY NOT BE COVERED BECAUSE MY VEHICLE ISN'T UNDER THE RECALL. *TR

THERE ARE DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES WHICH COMPELS ME TO WRITE THIS COMPLAIN FORM. IT IS ABOUT A 2007 COROLLA WHICH I OWN. I WAS EXPERIENCING ACCELERATION PROBLEM ABOUT THIS CAR. TO PUT IT MORE PRECISELY THE CAR HAS A TENDENCY TO ACCELERATE AT DIFFERENT RATE. I AM SURE IT IS NOT BECAUSE OF CHANGING SHIFTS BECAUSE I ALSO HAVE ANOTHER COROLLA OF THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL. AT FIRST WHEN I START THE CAR AND SHIFT TO DRIVE MORE THE CAR HAS A TENDENCY TO JUMP WHICH IS MORE LIKE WHEN YOU CHANGE A MOTORCYCLE GEAR WITHOUT CLUTCHING. AND WHILE I ACCELERATE, SOMETIMES THE GAS PEDAL JUST GOES DOWN BUT THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE. WHEN I EXPERIENCED THIS I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT IT WAS NOT A PROBLEM OF THE CAR BUT IT IS HOW SOME COMPUTER CHIP IN THE CAR BEHAVES. THIS WAS IN 2008. IN 2009, I DOUBT GAINED STRENGTH WHEN I WAS TAKING MY COUSIN SISTER AND HER FRIEND TO MY COUSINS WEDDING. I WAS DRIVING THROUGH THE LEVELED ROAD IN INTESTATE HIGHWAY AND THEY EVEN RAISED THE QUESTION THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. STILL I EXPERIENCE THE PROBLEM.

IT'S A 2007 COROLLA. I DON'T USUALLY DRIVE MUCH BEFORE AND I DO DRIVE A LOT SINCE I TRANSFER TO COLLEGE AND HAVE TO GO ON FWY. ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO, ONCE I TRIED TO STOP ON THE ROAD BECAUSE RIGHT LIGHT, I LEFT THE GAS PEDAL AND WAIT TO DECELERATE AND THEN STEP ON THE BREAK,BUT IT DIDN'T, I ALMOST HIT THE CAR BEFORE ME AND IT'S REALLY HARD TO STOP I HAD TO STEP IT REALLY HARD. FROM THAN TIME, I BEGAN TO REALIZE THAT THERE MIGHT BE A PROBLEM FOR IT. I CANT TELL EXACTLY HOW OFTEN IT HAPPEN, BUT SOMEHOW I KNOW WHEN IT GOES UP TO 60MPH, AND IT WILL DECELERATE. WHEN IT DROPS TO AROUND 45, IT STOPS TO DROP. AND WHEN I GO ON THE FWY, WHEN IT HITS CERTAIN SPEED LIKE 75, SOME TIMES IT WON'T SLOW DOWN EVEN I LEAVE MY FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDAL AFTER I KNEW THE TYT PETAL PROBLEM AND THE STEERING PROBLEM, I WONDER IF MY CAR WAS INVOLVED. HOWEVER, THIS MODEL IS NOT ON THE LIST, I STILL WORRIED ABOUT IT. BECAUSE TYT MIGHT HIDE THE PROBLEM, OR THEY DID FIND IT NOW AND THEY WILL FIND IT LATER. THIS WEEK I GOT A SPEEDING TICKET IN CA I-5 FWY AND I DOUBT THAT PART OF THE REASON IS THAT THE "RARE" ACCELERATE PROBLEM. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT BECAUSE THERE'S NO EVIDENCE TO SHOW THE PROBLEM RIGHT NOW. I HOPE THAT THE US WILL INVESTIGATE ALL MODEL FROM 2000 TO 2010 TO ENSURE PEOPLE SAFE. *TR

IN JANUARY 2007 I RECEIVED DELIVERY ON A NEW 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA. IN THE WEEKS FOLLOWING DELIVERY I EXPERIENCED WHAT I WOULD DESCRIBE AS A STUCK ACCELERATOR ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I WOULD BE DRIVING AND WITHOUT APPARENT REASON THE VEHICLE ENGINE WOULD RACE. FOLLOWING THESE OCCASIONS I WOULD CHECK TO SEE IF THE MAT WAS ON THE ACCELERATOR, BUT COULD NOT ATTRIBUTE THE INCIDENT SPECIFICALLY TO THAT. I REPORTED THESE INCIDENTS TO MY DEALER, PAPAS TOYOTA, IN ST. PETERS, MO, AND THEY REPORTED THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. AFTER THE FIRST FEW MONTHS, THE INCIDENTS SEEMED TO STOP. BECAUSE OF THE RECENT SIMILAR ISSUES WITH TOYOTA VEHICLES, I BELIEVE THAT THE 2007 MODEL TOYOTA SHOULD ALSO BE EVALUATED.*CW *TR

IN AUGUST 2009 THE COMPUTER WAS REPLACED ON MY 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA BECAUSE IT DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. SINCE THAT TIME, MY CAR WILL SUDDENLY REV UP AND ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER SERVICE CENTER A FEW WEEKS AGO AND AFTER HAVING IT FOR A WEEK, RETURNED IT TO ME AND STATED NOTHING WAS WRONG. ON NOVEMBER 2ND, MY CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND I HAD TO KNOCK IT OUT OF GEAR AND STAND UP ON THE BRAKE TO GET IT TO STOP. I CALLED THE DEALER AND HE SAID TO CALL TOYOTA THAT HE WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING WITH THE CAR. I HAVE A CAR IN MY GARAGE THAT I CANNOT DRIVE FOR SAFETY REASONS, NO HELP FROM TOYOTA, AND I WILL NEVER DRIVE IT AGAIN AS I HAVE HAD RE-OCCURRING NIGHTMARES BECAUSE OF THIS INCIDENT AS MY TWINS WERE PLAYING IN THE DRIVEWAY AND I HAD JUST PASSED MY SON ON HIS TRICYCLE AND STOPPED AND PUT MY DAUGHTER ON MY LAP TO PULL INTO THE GARAGE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I HAVE ASKED FOR A FULL REFUND ON THE CAR AND TONY STUBBLEFIELD WITH RELIABLE TOYOTA IN SPRINGFIELD MO SAID THAT THE BEST HE COULD DO WAS ALLOW ME TO TRADE IT IN THERE. THIS DID HAPPEN TO ME, I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE FILED A LAW SUIT, AND I WOULD LIKE THIS CAR TAKEN AWAY AND THE SITUATION RECTIFIED OR I WILL BE LEFT WITH NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE BUT TO SEEK THE SERVICES OF AN ATTORNEY. THIS STRESS IS CAUSING ME HEALTH ISSUES. *TR

I WAS DRIVING COMING FROM MY SISTER IN LAWS HOUSE AT GRANDVIEW, WASHINGTON LEAVING AROUND 7:40 AM HEADING HOME TO SEATTLE GOING WEST TO INTERSTATE-82 ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 22, 2008 WITH MY THREE KIDS. I WAS USING MY CRUISE CONTROL AND STAYED ON THE LEFT LANE FOR ABOUT 20 TO 30 MINUTES. WE JUST LEFT YAKIMA CITY AND HEADED TO THE FRED REDMON MEMORIAL BRIDGE AT AROUND 8:30 AM GOING UP HILL, IN WHICH I SAW TWO TRACTOR-TRAILER FAR IN ADVANCE AND BOTH WERE DRIVING ON THE RIGHT LANE. THE LEFT LANE WAS OPEN AS I DROVE IN TO THE BRIDGE BUT THEN THE OTHER TRACTOR-TRAILER MADE A CHANGE TO GO TO THE LEFT LANE. I WAS PROBABLY 50 FEET AWAY WHEN THE OTHER TRACTOR-TRAILER MADE THE CHANGE TO THE LEFT LANE. I WAS CRUISING ABOUT 50 TO 60 MPH IN WHICH I HAVE TO PUT MY RIGHT FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT I STEP ON MY GAS PEDAL BECAUSE THE CAR DID NOT SLOWDOWN A BIT. I PRESSED THE BUTTON TO TURN OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL AND HIT THE FOOT BRAKE AGAIN AND AGAIN. I THEN REALIZED THAT MY BRAKES DID NOT WORK. AS I WAS GETTING TOO CLOSED TO THE LEFT LANE TRUCK, I PANICKED AND MADE A CHANGE TO GO TO RIGHT AND REAR-ENDED THE VOLVO TRACTOR-TRAILER. *TR

WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR CONTINUED FORWARD AS THOUGH MY FOOT WAS STILL FEEDING GAS. AS A RESULT I HIT A PARKED CAR NEXT TO THE SLOT I WAS TRYING TO PULL INTO. NO DAMAGE TO THE CAR I HIT BUT $2500 ESTIMATE FOR BODY REPAIR TO THE CAR I WAS DRIVING. I HAVE HAD INFREQUENT SIMILAR EXPERIENCES WITH THIS CAR, BUT ALWAYS IN THE PAST IT HAS BEEN MOMENTARY AND INCONSEQUENTIAL CAR WILL BE REPAIRED AND IS BEING TAKEN IN TO SERVICE FOR CORRECTION OF THE PROBLEM DESCRIBED ABOVE. *TR
