1999 TOYOTA COROLLA. 1. I HAVE EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ACCELERATION IN MY 1999 TOYOTA COROLLA. EVEN HITTING THE BREAKS WOULD NOT STOP THE ACCELERATION. THIS WOULD GO ON FOR 1-2 SECONDS. 2. USUALLY OCCURRED WHEN I WAS DRIVING 60-65 MPH, AFTER HITTING THE GAS CONTINUOUSLY FOR SOMETIME WITHOUT HITTING THE BREAK. 3. IT HAPPENED TOO INFREQUENTLY. MY HUSBAND, WHO ALSO DROVE THIS CAR, DID NOT EXPERIENCE THIS. *TR

IN 2004 DURING THE WINTER MY 1999 TOYOTA COROLLA LE ACCELERATOR EXTREMELY FAST AS IF THE ACCELERATOR WAS FLOORED. I IMMEDIATELY PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. I CHECKED THE FLOOR MATS AS MY FIRST TROUBLESHOOTING ATTEMPT. THE FLOOR MATS WERE OK. I STARTED MY CAR AGAIN AND AGAIN IT ACCELERATED AT A HIGH SPEED. AT THAT POINT I WAS STILL ON THE SIDE ON THE ROAD AND MY CAR WAS IN PARK. I PUMPED THE ACCELERATOR SEVERAL TIME AND FINALLY THE CAR IDLE AT A NORMAL SPEED. IT HAS NOT HAPPEN SINCE THAT DAY. *TR

MY CAR IS AUTOMATIC. SOMETIMES WHEN I AM DRIVING IT "REVS" REALLY HIGH LIKE OVER 4. AND THATS ONLY WHEN I AM GOING 30MPH. EVEN IF I PUT OVERDRIVE ON IT STILL DOESNT WORK. ALSO MY LOW GAS LIGHT INDICATOR FADES IN AND OUT. ITS DOESNT COME ON UNTIL THE CAR IS PAST THE "E" . AND THE LAST PROBLEM IS MY LOCKS. WHEN I AM DRIVING I LOCK MY DOORS. AND THEN WHEN I TURN OFF MY CAR, TAKE MY KEYS OUT, IT WONT LET MY UNLOCK MY DOOR. I HAVE AUTOMATIC DOORS AND IT SHOULDNT BE DOING THIS. ONE LAST COMMENT IS THAT THESE PROBLEMS DO NOT HAPPEN ON ALL THE TIME. BUT AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. I HAVE BROUGHT IT IN TO THE TOYOTA DEALER MANY TIMES AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. I KNOW THERE IS. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU.
