2004 Toyota Corolla Fuel system Problems

“I pulled into handicapped parking space at a local restaurant and when I took my foot off the accelerator, my 2004 Toyota Corolla unexpectedly accelerated, causing my car to jump curb and proceed forward approximately 30 feet where it crashed into side of restaurant. I am fairly certain I did not have my foot on the accelerator and absolutely did not keep it on the accelerator after it jumped the curb and proceeded into the building.”

“Two weeks after purchasing my 2004 Toyota Corolla le I started to notice a rotten egg smell. It is awful and embarassing. After researching it on the internet, many many people have been told all they can do is switch brands of gas. That's nice, but my car shouldn't smell like rotten eggs. It's disgusting. There needs to be a fix for this that Toyota needs to provide.”

“I have a 2004 Toyota Corolla. The 'check engine' light came on last week. I took the car to the dealer who said the car needed a new filler neck and gas cap. The dealer said this is a common problem in this make/model car. I checked the internet and found that other people did have the same problems. I don't think it's a big safety issue, however, I would like to ask why a recall hasn't been done and how to possibly go about initiating that process. Thank you for input on this...janet braatz updated 09/25/09”

“When parking the car the car attempted to accelerate on its own. I looked down to make sure my foot was not on the gas - my foot was planted on the brake. I had to brake as hard as a I could to keep the car from rear ending the vehicle in front as the engine all on its own dragged the car forward. The car was moving at about two miles an hour when this took place. The engine revved up to 4000 rpms without any pressure on the gas and simply dragged the car forward.”
