Cruise control throws you back in your seat as soon as it kicks in going up a small incline. we've never had a cruise control that throws you violently back in your seat. it only happens when the cruise control is on - we feel it is an electronic problem. the toyota dealer says they haven't had any complaints; we don't use our cruise control anymore just in case one day the brakes won't make the cruise kick out. this is the first new car we purchased in thirty years and now it's been recalled and the safety of this car is now in question. very disappointing! *tr

First - my 2009 corolla feels like it doesn't grip the road. i live in florida and it feels like i'm driving on ice when i go pass 40. it hydroplanes on dry roads. second - in order for me to come to a complete stop i need to start pressing the break all the way down from like a mile back. third - on one occasion, and thankfully this only happened once, my accelerator came up slowly. what i mean is that after i let go of the accelerator, rather than the pedal coming up instantly it came up very slow. in general i don't feel safe driving this car and it's a shame because it's the car i want.*cw

2009 toyota corolla with idle control issues including slow to return to idle on occasion. vehicle has had brake vacuum recall completed and just today the gas pedal repair. problem still exists. i feel it is up in the fuel control systems and have told the dealer this each time starting back on 12/30/09. toyota corporate has given me a case number but the person handling the case has never called and is never available. cold engine always has high idle up until full operating temperature. it fluctuates frequently. once full operating temperature is reached it then goes to a normal idle but then frequently stumbles and drops by 200 rpm. on a few times during each drive of 45 minutes or more it is noticeable that the rpms are slow to return to idle and vehicle keeps speed without touching the gas. *tr
Purchased a 2009 toyota corolla on jan. 31, 2009. immediately noticed "unwanted acceleration", the car wanted to go when stopped unless the brake was applied hard and did not slow down immediately when foot was taken off the gas pedal. gas pedal did not always come all the way up when foot taken off, but would pop up if brakes applied hard. cruise control did not work properly. mentioned concern several times to toyota service dept. they told me that what i was describing was normal for those cars. the car was in an accident on 12/22/09. hit another car from behind. i think that the "not slowing down immediately when foot taken off gas pedal" was a contributing factor to the accident. there were no injuries but the car was badly damaged. toyota sent recall notice but said vin#'s beginning in j not affected. our car begins with j. recently send letters to toyota and waiting for reply. *tr

My daughter and son-in-law while driving in their 09 toyota corolla, experienced uncontrolled acceleration; on a straight piece of dry pavement, causing the vehicle to shoot into the oncoming lane (a condition known as torsional steering by some) on a 2 way traffic road striking a car in the oncoming lane and thus causing a major accident. there were only slight injuries. though the wheels were pointed straight ahead, the car veered left as the car uncontrollably sped up. my son-in-law states that his foot was not on the pedal. the action initiated after he depressed the pedal to accelerate along with other traffic. the car was repair by the insurance but still has the original problem. it has only done it the time that the car was involved in the accident and my daughter and son in law have been reluctant to use it since the accident so thus we have not had the experience recur. yes the original part is available and still on the vehicle, though toyota is scheduled to either repair it or replace it soon. *tr

2009 toyota corolla, "s" automatic transmission. the problem was initially identified by me when my car would not catch while on a slope in drive. the transmission would roll back. the dealership said this was normal due to a loss of pressure, however it would do it even if i barley stopped on a gradual incline for a few seconds. this has caused me to roll back unless i had one foot on the brake and one foot on the gas while to keep me steady to start. this happened at from the time i purchased the car. recently, i my engine has been running really rough and winding at a high pitch while driving. it now intermittently goes between gears and downshifts automatically into gears that are not appropriate for the speeds traveling. this causes a drastic down speed, and example is i will be on the freeway traveling speeds between 50-65 and it will downshift and reduce my speed to 40 mph or less, then i will try to accelerate and it will redline out, as if i am in neutral and i will have no control to regain speed until it automatically pushes itself back into gear, and then increases my speed at a rapid pace, without me putting my foot on the gas. at this point, i am required to place my foot on the brake to control my speeds. the dealership has taken my car back twice and claimed to have fixed it twice based on the reads, but i have had the same problem. the reads on the computer will say that it is an electrical malfunction... however they can not identify where the malfunction is coming from. parts have not been replaced and no repairs have been made to fix this at this time. toyota is not assisting with the recall and i am left with lots of shop hours. thinking about registering for the lemon law about my car, i drive apx. 1000 miles week and my car is not saving, consistent, and is a safety issue since have no control while my car malfunctions. i can only react to what is happening. it also makes a loud clunking sound, and a high winding sound when redlining. *tr

I pushed on the gas pedal to pass another car . when i did the gas pedal started accelerating to a higher and higher speed. i kept patting on the gas pedal with rapid hits , until it finally un stuck. it finally released but it took some effort. my next step would have been to turn off the key. the rpm's on the motor went very high. i new if i put the car in neutral i would have blown the motor. the rpm's would have red lined for sure. it hasn't done it since but it is frightening to say the least. i know for a fact , the floor matt had nothing to do with it !!!! period! *tr
