“Yesterday our 2007 Toyota Corolla(13,000) stopped dead in flow of traffic on a highway-luckily we merged to shoulder narrowly missing being hit by traffic. The car was fixed w/ a new computer system. Checking if others had this problem it turns out that diagnostic code p0607 has a very bad & significant history with 2007 Corolla-cars just die!!! But no recall. We almost died and similar situations have been reported.”
