2007 Toyota Corolla Engine Problems

“I started my car and immediately upon starting the engine RPM's went from 0-5000 RPM and would not come back down. I shut off the car and waited a few minutes and tried again.... Same thing. This happened several times. I am afraid that this could happen at any time while I'm actually driving the vehicle in which case there could be a very bad accident due to the throttle sticking open if that's what the cause is.”

“I had just started the car up and was pulling out of a parking lot.the car excelerated on its own .I could not control the speed and it did not respond to my trying to break. I had to put the car in neutral to regain control.I missed htiting another vehicle and people walking in the parking lot. I had the car repaired technician suggested throttle body replacement. . To correct the problem the throttle body was replaced with gasket and performed relearn. Total cost $619.50 jan .2 2019”

“This happened about four weeks apart with two different drivers under similar conditions.

They had it for a day and half and said they could find nothing wrong. …”

“My car had a recall completed on the ECM in 2011. Now in 2018 my ECM is shorting out causing my engine to shut off while I am driving.

The only way to make my car safe to drive again is to have a new ECM installed.”

“Looked up a recall on the emc of 2007 Toyota corollas. My car was rear ended on 12/31/2014. Ever since, my car has been having electrical problems.

I have had it inspected for over 8 hours by certified mechanics at midas, and they couldn't fix it. They said that every test they did was reading that nothing was wrong but my AC and radiator fan and solenoid are not working. …”
