Toyota Corolla Power Train Safety Report | Aug 15, 2011
Reported on Aug 15, 2011
| THE ENGINE SEEMS TO HAVE A MIND OF IT'S OWN BETWEEN 40 AND 60 MPH. WHEN TRYING TO GO AT AN EVEN SPEED ON A LEVEL ROAD THE CAR BUCKS AND KICKS, THE THROTTLE SPEEDS UP ON IT'S OWN, THEN SLOWS DOWN. I SEE VARIATIONS OF ABOUT 500 RPM ON THE TACHOMETER. SOMETIMES WHEN LETTING OFF THE THROTTLE PEDAL AT THESE SPEEDS THE CAR KEEPS GOING AND DOESN'T GET THE MESSAGE IT'S SUPPOSED TO SLOW DOWN. THIS IS SCARY, IT'S ALMOST LIKE THE CAR THINKS IT'S ON CRUISE CONTROL WHEN IT'S NOT AT ALL. *TR | |
