“My 2010 Toyota kept stalling out, mostly when it was in idle mode. If I was driving a slower speed, it would sometimes lose power and when I pushed on the gas pedal, there was nothing there...like air. It would stall out if I was sitting in traffic over minutes. I had to put it in neutral and keep my foot on the gas pedal to keep it idled up. Initially I was told it was the ignition coils, which I had replaced. Then the spark plugs were replaced. Then the air mass sensor. And my battery. Also the repair shop did some adjustment to the throttle. …”

“I have a 2010 Toyota Corolla that is part of the accelerator pedal reinforcement bar recall/installation. I have noticed another problem that appears to also involve the accelerator. This vehicle has a 5 speed manual transmission. The problem occurs in both 3rd and 4th gear. This problem is not consistent meaning it is not always noticed every time I drive, I would maintain that it occurs at least 50% of the time however. …”

“This vehicle uses a drive by wire (dwb) accelerator. When you press on the gas the car lurches forward. This happened on a rental car in 2010 and still is a problem on the used Toyota I purchased. When I contacted Toyota they stated there was no recall information. They asked me to have the vehicle diagonized at my expense, which I refused to do. This is a problem and based on information on the net others are having the same problem. I have owned many cars and not one has had such a touchy pedal.”

“The vehicle suddenly turned off while I was making a right hand turn. I was able to start the engine immediately in neutral. This has occurred 4 more times in similar circumstances. However, last night, while turning the car wheel to the left and right rapidly to avoid an object on the street, the car lost power. All the warning and control lights in the instrument panel were turned on for 3 to 4 seconds but the car started on its own. That is, I did not have to turn the ignition key on as in previous 4 occasions. I made an appointment with the dealer for tomorrow morning.”
