2006 Toyota Corolla Electrical Problems

I purchased a Toyota three years ago, immediately I complained about the brakes scrubbing and squeaky sounds, the dealer denied anything was wrong with the brakes. After paying the last payment the other day, now the brake pedal is stiff as a board and takes alot of pressure to stop, which is a safety hazzard to all. Also there have been no warning lights come on notification of any problems. I've also noticed Electrical problems like the dash lights going off and on the clock works when it takes a notion.

MY 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA HORN JUST STOPPED WORKING ONE DAY FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE AIRBAG WAS FAULTY AND IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. I ASSUMED THAT IT (THE AIRBAG) WOULD BE REPLACED AT TOYOTA'S EXPENSE, BECAUSE OF THERE MANY AIRBAG RECALLS. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE, TOYOTA IS CLAIMING THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT ON THE AIRBAG RECALL LIST. SO, I CONTACTED TOYOTA CORPORATE OFFICE AND OF COURSE I RECEIVED THE "SORRY WE CAN'T HELP YOU STATEMENT"! THIS IS NOT A WEAR AND TEAR ITEM, SO HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT TOYOTA GET TO CHOOSE WHAT AIRBAGS SHOULD BE ON THERE RECALL LIST? BEWARE ALL TOYOTA OWNERS!!! *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR HOME FROM WORK. SUDDENLY THE CAR WON'T MOVE FORWARD AND ON THE DASHBOARD ALL THE LIGHTS KEEPS LIGHT UP AND BLINKING AND THE CAR GRADUALLY DIED ON THE ROAD. IT'S SO DANGEROUS. I SEE EMC IS LISTED RECALL BUT I DON'T RECEIVE ANY LETTER FROM DEALER TO FIX ITS PROBLEM. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WITH VIN NUMBER ABOVE IS ON THE LIST OF RECALL. I HAVE CHECKED THE ALTERNATOR, IT WORKS OK AND THE BATTERY IS OK (JUST REPLACE A FEW MONTHS AGO). IF IT IS RECALL, SHOULD I BRING IT TO DEALER TO FIX IT EVEN I DIDN'T RECEIVE THEIR LETTER. *TR

OUR TOYOTA COROLLA 2006 HAD A SRS AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT COME ON. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WE WERE INFORMED THAT THE DRIVER?S AIRBAG MODULE IS ATTACHED TO A SPIRAL CABLE ASSEMBLY WITH ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS THAT HAVE BECOME DAMAGED FROM TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. THE DAMAGE TO THE SPINAL WIRE CAUSED THE AIR BAG WARNING LAMP TO ILLUMINATE WHICH MEANS THAT THE AIR BAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. THE SPINAL CORD NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THERE IS A SIMILAR ISSUE ON OTHER COROLLAS I BELIEVE THEY ARE YEARS 2009 AND 2010 AND SO I THINK THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO SINCE IT IS HAPPENING ON OUR VEHICLE. *TR

THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THE COMPUTER ECU UNIT FAILED. MY DAUGHTER DROVE THE CAR TO PERFORMANCE COLLISION FOR SOME BODY WORK REPAIRS. THE BODY SHOP CALLED TO INFORM US THAT THEY COULDN'T COMPLETE THE REPAIRS BECAUSE THE CAR WOULDN'T START. I CALLED AAA WHO TOWED THE CAR TO PERFORMANCE TOYOTA. AFTER THEY INSPECTED THE VEHICLE THE TECHNICIAN MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THE ECU UNIT FAILED AGAIN AND THIS TIME IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAD TO PAY $725.74 AND PERFORMANCE TOYOTA AGAIN REPLACED THE ECU UNIT. TOYOTA REPLACED THE INITIAL ECU ON AUGUST 25, 2008 ( I FILED A SEPARATE COMPLAINT) UNDER WARRANTY. I EXPLAINED TO TOYOTA THAT A COMPUTER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT ALL AND OUT OF ALL THE 7 CARS I'VE OWNED OVER THE PASS 40 YEARS THIS IS THE FIRST CAR THAT EVER HAD SO MANY MECHANICAL PROBLEMS. TOYOTA CLAIMED THAT THE ECU COMPUTERS DON'T LAST VERY LONG AND NEED TO BE REPLACED ABOUT EVERY 4 YEARS. I DON'T BELIEVE THESE ECU ARE QUALITY UNITS AND ARE DEFECTIVE. I'M HOPING TO GET MY MONEY REFUNDED. *JS

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE TOYOTA 2006 COROLLA WHEN THE WINDOWS STOP WORKING, THEN THE LIGHTS BEGIN STOP WORKING SO SHE PARKED THE CAR. THE CAR WOULD NOT START UP AGAIN SO SHE WAS ABLE TO GET SOMEONE WITH JUMPER CABLES TO START THE CAR. SHE CONTACTED PERFORMANCE TOYOTA WHO INSTRUCTED HER TO BRING THE CAR TO TOYOTA. THEY INFORMED US THAT THE CAR COMPUTER'S ECU UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THEY REPLACED THE ECU WITH NO CHARGE SINCE THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER, THEY CHARGED ME $257.99 FOR A WIRE THAT HAD SHORTENED BEHIND THE DASH CAUSING THE FUSES TO BLOW. I BELIEVE THAT IT WAS DUE TO THE COMPUTER FAILURE BUT THEY DISAGREED. THEN ON JUNE 20, 2012 WHILE THE CAR WAS BEING REPAIRED BY PERFORMANCE COLLISION BODY SHOP THEY CONTACTED ME TO INFORM ME THAT THE CAR WOULDN'T START. I TOWED IT TO PERFORMANCE TOYOTA AND THEY INFORM ME THAT THE ECU COMPUTER FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WILL SUBMIT A NEW COMPLAINT FOR THIS INCIDENT. *JS

THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY IS MOUNTED IN THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK , HANGING DOWN SUBMERGED IN THE GAS. ONE OF THE POWER WIRES FROM THE PUMP ASSY. GOING TO THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR AT THE TOP MOUNTING PLATE OF THE PUMP, WAS BADLY BURNED AND MELTED CAUSING THE PUMP NOT TO WORK WHEN IT WARMED UP ALONG WITH THIS ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR. REMEMBER THIS IS INSIDE THE FUEL TANK. THIS COULD HAVE CREATED A SERIOUS EXPLOSION ! TOYOTA ISSUED A RECALL FOR "ECM" (ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE) PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH STALLING ENGINE, SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AND ENGINE CRANKS AND WILL NOT START. I THINK SOME OF THE "ECM " PROBLEMS COULD HAVE BEEN MIS-DIAGNOSED AND WERE THIS BURNT WIRE AND CONNECTOR FROM THE FUEL PUMP. ON TOP OF THAT THIS REPAIR COST ME APPROX. $1500.00 BUT MAYBE IT SAVED MY LIFE. FOR SAFETY REASONS ALONE , THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO AND RESOLVED. I HOPE THIS MIGHT HELP SOMEONE ELSE BEFORE THEY ARE HURT. *TR

1. RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA INDICATING THAT A SAFETY DEFECT EXISTS IN MY ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) FOR MY 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA. I TOOK MY CAR TO SPRINGFIELD TOYOTA ON 2/22/2011. THEY REPLACED THE ECM AND NOW THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. THEY TOLD ME THAT IN ORDER TO TURN THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT OFF , IT WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL DIAGNOSIS AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $300 TO $400. THE DEALERSHIP LEFT THE ECM DISCONNECTED AND SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON ALL THE TIME. 2. THE SERVICE LIGHT IS ON ALL THE TIME. THIS MAY BE A SAFETY ISSUE. 3. DEALERSHIP DOES NOT WANT TO FIX THE PROBLEM UNLESS I PAY THEM FOR THE DIAGNOSIS TIME. WITH THE OLD ECT I DID NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE ECM REPLACED BASED ON THE LETTER FROM TOYOTA. DEALERSHIP KEPT THE OLD ECM AND REFUSED TO GIVE IT BACK TO ME NOR FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

APRIL 2010 - TACHOMETER STARTED 'JUMPING' AROUND. CEL WOULD ILLUMINATE ON AND OFF AND THE CAR WOULD OCCASIONALLY ACT LIKE IT WANTED TO STALL AND ACTED SLUGGISH. JUNE 2010 - BROUGHT TO LOCAL SHOP THAT SAID IT MIGHT BE A COMPUTER ISSUE AND TO TAKE TO TOYOTA. TOOK TO TOYOTA, TOYOTA SAID THAT IT WAS JUST A BAD TACHOMETER AND THAT I COULD CHOOSE TO REPLACE IT. I DID NOT. CEL LIGHT CONTINUED TO GO ON AND OFF. VEHICLE WOULD SOMETIMES SHIFT VERY HARD OR SEEM TO HAVE TROUBLE. SEPTEMBER 2010 - THE VEHICLE ALMOST STALLED AT 45MPH WHEN IT SEEMED LIKE IT WAS TRYING TO SWITCH GEARS (AUTO TRANSMISSION). WHEN GOING HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE RPMS WOULD NOT GET OVER 1800 WHEN NORMALLY IT RUNS AROUND 2300 (AT 65MPH) WHEN I WOULD STEP ON BRAKE, RPMS WOULD DROP TO AROUND 1000 AND THEN TO THE POINT OF STALLING. SOMETIMES I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE LEFT FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE RIGHT FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR TO NOT HAVE IT STALL IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. SOMETIMES AT A LIGHT, I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND CONTINUE TO REV THE ENGINE. SOME DAYS THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO BE RUNNING FINE, OTHER TIMES IT IS VERY STRESSFUL TO DRIVE WHEN IT IS HAVING ISSUES. OCTOBER 2010 - RECEIVED RECALL LETTER FROM TOYOTA REGARDING THE ECM (ENGINE CONTROL MODULE) AND THAT PARTS WILL START TO BE COME AVAILABLE THE END OF NOVEMBER. CALLED TOYOTA CORPORATE AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT CURRENTLY HAVE A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE IT IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. *TR

I OWN A 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING BUT I DID NOT NOTICE ANY ISSUES. THE FOLLOWING DAY THE CAR STARTED SHIFTING HARD WHEN I ACCELERATED WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND THE CODE CAME BACK P2716: SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE SLT/RANGE. I RESEARCHED THE CODE AND FOUND MANY FORUMS WITH PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AND THE PROBLEM BEING THE ECM. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND GAVE THEM THE INFORMATION I FOUND ON THE ISSUES. THEY DIAGNOSED THE CAR AND I SAID I NEEDED THE ECM REPLACED. THE CAR HAS 82,000 MILES AND IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE REPAIR IS RUNNING CLOSE TO $900, THE REGIONAL TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE HAS OFFERED TO SPLIT THE COST. I FEEL THIS IS UNFAIR AND A RECALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN ISSUED. I ALSO HAVE A FRIEND WHO HAS A 2007 COROLLA THAT JUST TOOK HER CAR IN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM GOING TO CONTINUE TO SPEAK WITH TOYOTA IN HOPES THEY WILL COVER THE REPAIR. *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN AFTERNOON COMMUTER TRAFFIC IN WASHINGTON, DC, WHEN, WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, MY CAR "HICCUPED" ONCE AND DIED. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT, BUT AS I DROVE THROUGH THE GREEN LIGHT, MY CAR BEGAN TO LOSE POWER, SLOW DOWN, THEN STALLED OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR, BUT IT WOULDN'T GO OVER 25 MPH, THEN ALMOST IMMEDIATELY SLOWED AND STALLED OUT AGAIN. AFTER THAT, IT TOOK APPROXIMATELY 10 TRIES TO GET THE ENGINE TO TURN OVER AND THE CAR TO START ONLY LONG ENOUGH TO MOVE IT 50 FEET OR SO TO A SAFER AREA. THE PROBLEM, ACCORDING TO TOYOTA, IS A FAULTY COMPUTER (ECM) THAT THE COMPANY WAS AWARE OF BUT DID NOT DIRECTLY NOTIFY OWNERS OF. (BASED ON WHAT THE TOYOTA REPAIR PERSON SAID, THIS PROBLEM MIRRORS WHAT IS REPORTED IN NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE09054 AND TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN TC015-07 - HARD SHIFT AND STALLING). *TR
