Toyota Corolla Vehicle Speed Control Safety Report | July 05, 2011
Reported on July 05, 2011
| I PURCHASED A NEW 2011 TOYOTA COROLLA, AND IMMEDIATELY NOTICED AN ISSUE WITH VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL. THE VEHICLE MAINTAINS SPEED/RPM EVEN AFTER REMOVING YOUR FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR. THE ISSUE IS MOST VISIBLE WHEN THE CAR IS TRAVELLING IN EXCESS OF 40 MPH AND THE TRANSMISSION IS IN THE HIGHEST GEAR. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER THIS IS EXPECTED BEHAVIOR. IN MY VIEW IT IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE SINCE THE CAR DOES NOW SLOW DOWN. THIS ISSUE IS NOT SPORADIC, BUT RATHER PERSISTENT... IT ALWAYS BEHAVES THIS WAY. *TR | |
