Problems with 2009 Toyota Corolla VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

I bought a toyota corolla march 2009 ,on about sept. 1, 2009 i was driving around palos verdes i saw donald trupm's golf course.so i pulled in and drove through the drop off area and ask the guy that was out there for a flyer and he gave me one and them i went to the stop sign to leave. i was pulling out and i saw a small truck coming so i jumped on the accelerator to get ahead of truck and when i let up on the accelerator the car didn't slow down.i then had to push on my brakes as hard as i could while pulling on the strewing whelelreally hard to help me push the brake pedal real hard.the car would not stop running fast it got stuck in passing gear mold and won't stop from really racing the engine.! was real lucky there was a place to pull of the road,so i pulled into a small parking area and put the car into park,i turned the key off and them i stared the car again and it was still racing the engine really really fast. so i turned the key off again and i didn't know what to do.i didn't want to drive down the hills in palos verdes because that was really scary and i think that if i wasn't use to being around car's with my x-husband a lot,like pulling car's with a rope to start them and then slamming on the brake when it started to keep from running into the car that was towing me..some other people could panic and have a really bad accident. so any way i had a friend with me and i opened the hood and ask her to get into the drivers sit to pump on the gas peddle i tried to see were the linkage was to see if i could do something to stop the motor from racing.i could not see where the linkage was and i didn't want take the cover of the motor because i haven't done that on newer car's.so igot back into the drivers seat and got my purse out to call the automobile club but before i did that i thought i would try starting the car one more time and it was o.k. i took the car to toyota to check it they couldn't get to ...

Tl*the contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. after the vehicle was started, the rpms rapidly increased and her foot was not on the accelerator or brake pedal. the failure recurred after she stopped at a traffic light. the dealer stated that whenever the engine was cold the rpms increase. since the gas pedal was replaced the failure has not recurred. the steering has become difficult to control while making left and right turns. the failure mileage was 9,000 and the current mileage was 12,000.

I started up my 2009 toyota corolla, then with my foot on the brake, i put the cars gear into reverse. the car started backing up, accelerating uncontrollably. the brake would not stop the car. i never touched the accelerator from the time i started the car. the car stopped when it ran into another parked vehicle. i took the car to the toyota dealership in bradford, pa. the service manager told me that there was nothing wrong with the car. he said that i stepped on the brake too hard and that disables the anti-lock brakes. they refused to look at the car. there were no floormats in my vehicle. the toyota dealership will not look at my car because they say that it is not covered by the recall because its vin number begins with a j, which means it was manufactured in japan. i am scared to drive it because i have already had the acceleration problem once and crashed. *tr

2009 toyota corolla - floor mat (purchased at pepboys) got stuck on the acceleration pedal at maximum speed. *tr the consumer also stated the gas lever inside the vehicle would not open the gas lid. *jb

Car moving forward as i let up on the accelerator. it also jerks when i quickly remove my foot from the pedal for a few seconds and before i place my foot on the brake and the altimeter goes up and down several times when i do this as if it is stalling out. it has done this every time i drive the car and i had it to the dealership twice but they couldn't find anything wrong according to the diagnostic machine so i still have the problem. *tr

My 2009 toyota corolla bought in june 2009. i reported to dealer about car not accelerating well , road noise and car engine noise heard inside the car . also car is hard to control during cross winds on bridge above water. this is my second time buying new vehicle of same model and make. i bought my first corolla s in 2003. this is not the vehicle i used to drive. i have the dealer invoice from july 2009 states normal acceleration found in all conditions. this car was tested by one of their mechanics. *tr

This description is correcting my description i just filed with you. as soon as i started driving my car upon leaving the dealership after purchasing the car, i noticed it moved forward as if being bumped from behind as i let up on the accelerator. also, if i removed my foot quickly from the pedal and waited a few seconds before placing my foot on the brake, the car would make jerky motions and the tachometer (rpm) would jump wildly. i didn't know if the problem was in the accelerator or in the electrical system. i brought it to the twice for the problem but they couldn't find anything showing up on the diagnostic computer check the first time. the service tech did have to re-set the original setting on something and he told me to bring it back if that didn't fix it. the problem still existed so i brought it back the second time and the tech rode with me and he also felt what i was experiencing. he tried to explain it away but i couldn't believe that it was the car getting used to a new driver as he said it was because it is still having the problem and i have driven the car for 1,225. *tr

Please i need somebody to help me with my case with toyota. i had an accident back to july in my toyota corolla 2009. i hit someone house with my toyota because (accelerator and pedal were stuck and i lost the control of the car. i didn't know what went wrong not only i'm a woman and i don't know anything about "mechanic, pedal ... etc. when police came i tried to explain to them what cause the accident they told me that if i don't stop lying i can end up to jail. so the house owner sued me i went to a lot of procedure of lawsuit. i never knew that could happened to me. three days after court, i received the recall letter from toyota. i drove my car to toyota i found out my car has 2 recalls ( accelerator and pedal). please help me. at least toyota can pay the woman that sued me and my medical expenses. *tr

I have a 2009 toyota corolla that is part of the gas pedal recall. i believe it may also have the steering issue as well. i have noticed that my steering is all over the place, it takes 2 hands to generally run smoothly. my husband complains about it more, i just love my car so i defended it but now that i have heard there may be a problem, i think it should be looked at alittle closer. my other issue is that when we called the dealership back in jaunary in regards to the gas pedal they very nicely informed us that they were repairing the more expensive vehicles first and then would schedule me an appointment. is that allowed? no offense, but my life is just as valuable as a camry, 4 runner, or other vehicle that they consider more expensive. i wanted a toyota corolla so bad and now i would do anything to get rid of it. *tr

Driver was coming out of driveway slowly. all of a sudden , car was in the middle of the road and was hit in the driver's door. 2009 corolla was totaled. *tr

The 2009 toyota corolla that was purchased in 2009 accelerated, on it's on accord while pulling out of the garage. this caused the car to increase in speed so quickly that the car hit the natural gas meter located next to the house.the force of this impact combined with the acceleration caused major damage. the gas meter began to leak and the force of impact and continuing acceleration of the vehicle, literally ripped a gash in the side of the car, approx 5 feet long. this gash was caused by the regular on the gas meter. (the meter is well out of the way of the path and has never been a problem. it has been in this location for decades. the vehicle only stopped because it was forced to, as the small section of the gas meter which impacted the car was unable to continue ripping into the car. as it finally came to a point where the door ended and the passenger side front quarter panel began. this was not reported to the police, as this happened on our private property. in addition,we saw no point in reporting it to nhtsa as we could not fathom that it was even the cars fault. as perplexed as we were that this happened, until recently, we have never been able to explain why such damage would be caused by pulling out of the driveway at such a slow speed, or even how we managed to hit the gas meter. with the given news of the sudden acceleration recall, we now have a very clear picture as to what happened. the vehicle was never repaired as the cost of this repair is going to be more than we can afford at the moment. additionally, the gas meter began to leak and had to immediately be turned off and an emergency repair call to the gas company was made. the regulator on the meter was replaced, but we were without gas in the house for a short period. thankfully, the house did not explode. we are very concerned about this as this car is driven 80 miles a day to go to work and return daily. *tr

This is a follow up to a previous complaint. i felt compelled to do so after reading other issues people were having with there toyota corollas (s). i purchased this car june 1st 2009. three weeks after purchase i noticed something was wrong with the paint. i took it to the dealers, the service dept manager looked at it and said it was due to the environment, the sales guy told me it was due to tree sap and the third time i took it the sales manager said it was from bird crap ( it's garaged most of the time). weeks later i was hit by a concrete truck, at first thought it was the trucks fault but not real sure now because of the difficult steering with this car. at the time of the accident there was no air bag deployment. i had the car repaired by a private shop, they couldn't understand why the airbag did not deploy. while my car was there they looked at the paint. i have a black car with large white spots and was told there was a problem with the clear coat and it would cost around 4,000 to fix it. i again went to the dealership and was told this time that's what happens when you buy a black car. i have filed a complaint with toyota and we all know where that has got me. i filed a complaint with the consumer complaint agency and toyota failed to respond. boy, for a reliable care the only thing i can rely on is poor quality and a death trap. i have a dodge and will drive it before this death trap. good luck trying to do a lane change and looking into the blind spots. i have almost hit cars on my right while attempting to do a lane change more times than i can count. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. the contact noticed a grinding noise most of the time when she depressed the brake pedal. she took the vehicle to the dealer who stated that they could not find anything wrong with it. the failure continued to occur and the dealer turned the rotors to remedy the problem; however, she continued hearing the grinding noise. in september 2009, she took the vehicle to the dealer who replaced the brake pads and rotors. she no longer noticed the noise; yet, the brake pedal extended to the floor with a sudden pulling and grabbing motion. the dealer told her that the abs activated which caused that feeling. she also stated that the vehicle would suddenly accelerate on an intermittent basis. in december 2009, the driver crashed into a brick wall when the vehicle suddenly accelerated. there were no injuries. the dealer took pictures and told her that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. furthermore, the gear shift broke and the dealer did not repair the vehicle for six months. she called the manufacturer and was unable to speak with a representative. the current mileage was approximately 17,000. the failure mileage was approximately 1,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. the contact stated she took her vehicle in for the acceleration recall but she is still experiencing the acceleration problem, the vehicle is still picking up speed. the contact stated she had to keep pressing the brakes and it eventually slows down, however the vehicle will feel like it's going to stall out on her. the contact also stated when putting the vehicle in reverse it makes a popping/knocking sound. the contact states when she decelerates and then tries to accelerate again her vehicle will hesitate and then jerk. the contact stated the dealer says they cannot do anything about this. the failure mileage was unknown and the current is 27,000.

We were driving the freeway with the cruise control on. we went up a very small incline and the cruise adjusted. however the cruise would not readjust at the top of the incline and continued to gain speed. my husband tried to brake, to no avail, just increases in speed(act. speed unknown).finally, a break in traffic, shifted to neutral and guided the car to an exit. turned off car, turned back on and engine still racing, finally on next try went to normal. i have not used the cruise since. but hearing of other toyotas with sua, i'm wondering if this is the same even though corollas are not mentioned. without a break in traffic, i'm convinced there could have been serious consequences to this incident. contacted toyota and they checked the car with no conclusion to the cause of the event. the mat did not appear to be a cause of the event. we assumed that it was the cruise control because it was the first time we used it . the cruise had been engaged for at least 50 miles before the event. this was a terrifying event for my husband who is normally very calm and myself. *tr

This complaint is being filed on by me as a result of the terrible safety problems i have encountered since purchasing my 2009 toyota corolla new from performance toyota dealership in fairfield, ohio. on 3/27/2009 my corolla sped up on its own causing me to strike a parked vehicle, and injuring myself. i called the walton, kentucky plant about this the following day. their advise to me was to take my vehicle to the dealership where i had bought it for an inspection. on april 1, 2009 i did this very thing and i was told by their mechanics that everything on my car was fine and that it was probably just operator of the vehicles fault. leaving the dealership worried, and concerned i put my toyota corolla in the body shop for repairs. ten days later after having my vehicle inspected by their mechanics and having my body repairs made the same thing occurred to me again when on 4/11/2009 my toyota corolla accelerated upon its own again striking a parked vehicle causing additional injuries to myself as well as this time i was cited by the police, my insurance carrier raised my rates to nearly double the usual amount, and i am paying for a car that i am terrified at this point to be driving. when i requested print outs from the dealership of the mechanical inspection that was made between auto accidents they became very agitated with me, and my son to the point of complete rudeness. on 22/4/2010 they made a correction on my toyota corolla to make an attempt to fix the sudden acceleration problem, and told me to remove my drivers side floor mat that i would be receiving a new one for safety reasons. i did this but still as of yet have not received any such floor mat for my car. on 5/19/2010 my son and i took my corolla in for an oil change and tire rotation when we were told of a brake recall that my car needed which would only take 40 minutes to accomplish. i told them to fix it please. i have complied in every way. *tr

On 2/26/10 i brought my 2009 toyota corolla le to north hills toyota/scion service center at 711 browns lane pgh pa 15237 to have the recall work performed. as per the work order #tocs162571, the work performed was: installing accelerator pedal reinforcement bar, brake inspection, installing intake air tube connector kit. up until that time, i had not experienced any problems. on 3/1/10 at 10:25am, the 2009 toyota corolla abruptly accelerated to over 7,000 rpms while my foot was applied to brake as i was coming to a stop at a red light. the car continued to move despite applying extra pressure to the brake with my foot. i then turned the car off with the key, put it in park, waited approx. 1 minute, and restarted the car. the acceleration was much worse than the first time and the needle on the tachometer again went to over 7,000 rpms and the engine sounded like a "jet engine". i immediately turned to engine off again. the police were then called as the car was blocking traffic. the officer and myself pushed the car to side of road without starting it. aaa eventually towed the car to north hills toyota/scion service center. on 3/2/10, deana hicks of the service dept. called to say, upon inspection, they found nothing wrong with the car. i asked them to examine the car further and a service tech. took it home over night in an attempt to replicate the problem and could not. at this point we were told we could take the car back. *tr

The description i am sending in may or may not be connected to the toyota recalls for brakes or gas pedal sticking. my experience is that everytime i step on the brake pedal i feel something move under my feet. sometimes it feels like something is rolling under the carpet. my floor mats are snapped into place so i know that they are not moving. i plan on taking my car to a toyota dealer on thursday feb. 18, 2010. this feeling has been there since i bought the car back in august of 2009. my car is a 2009 toyota corolla le. they say because it was made in japan i do not have anything to worry about. we will see. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. while driving at various speeds of 5 mph and up, the vehicle would drive very "bouncy," similar to driving a rocking chair, as described by the contact. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where they could not duplicate the failure. also, upon barely depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle would abnormally accelerate as if she had slammed her foot on the accelerator pedal. while traveling around a curve or making a left or right turn, the vehicle would momentarily accelerate and feel as though the driver might lose control. the manufacturer was contacted, however they would not assist. no repairs were made to the vehicle to date. the contact was unaware if her vehicle was under recall. the failure mileage was 1,925 and the current was 88,050.

I was driving my 2009 toyota corolla. once, prior to the event in question i had briefly noticed a lack of acceleration. i pressed on the accelerator and nothing happened. the car just quit moving forward. no noise or anything. but, in a few seconds, i tried again and it seemed normal so, i decided it was just my imagination. then, in jan /feb i was coming home from the gym (thankfully not on the freeway) about 9pm on a city street traveling about 30 mph. i tried to accelerate slightly to the speed limit of 35mph and discovered (again, with no warning) that my car would not move forward. none of the systems worked steering etc. but at that speed i did manage to stop. i called 911 and the police stopped 3 lanes of traffic and pushed me to the side. i waited an hour for aaa and had the car towed to the toyota dealer. it took them a whole day to decide it was an electronic problem and to "fix" it. i was scared to drive it, but i did for maybe another month before deciding that he constant fear of it happening again (maybe on the freeway) was not worth it. the dealer made me a "deal" on a trade for a 2010 corolla. i drove this car until 2 weeks ago. i could not live with the anxiety of having another (in my mind) electronic failure. i am one who is convinced the toyota problem is electronic and not related to mechanics. i now have a ford. thank you for your attention. *tr

I have experienced great amount of stress due to my 2009 toyota corolla. i experience the car shifting from right to left at high speeds (over 65 mph). i took it to toyota of orange and they tested and legally they can only go 60mph or highway speed-limit. they kept denying any problems with the car, & came back to speak with the toyota representative. i went in 3 times prior to this to see if they could find a problem, she said there's nothing wrong after special 'tests' were done. after that we took it in again and they performed an alignment which helped a little during regular speeds. but i still have the same problem, i recently took it in for the re-call, glad that was fixed, but at 70-80 mph if i shift into another line that is putting my life in great danger! i drive slower but i live in southern california so sometimes its unsafe to be driving at such speeds. i have also been experiencing paint problems with the vehicle, various scratches i don't know where they appear from, and my car is garaged mostly. there also a couple of chips in the paint, i took it in and they just washed and detailed the vehicle, which did help but there's scratches again, the paint seems to be defective. another problem i'm experiencing with this vehicle is randomly maybe once or twice a month when started in the morning (parked in the garage which isn't cold at all) the whole car vibrates horrible, coming from the engine, as if its not held together well. it lasts for around a minute. i took it in to the dealership and they said since its not a constant problem they cant detect but if i leave it over night and if it happens they'll see, of-course it didn't happen they claimed they tested everything possible and there was no check engine lights etc. no signs when the steering goes crazy. obviously this car is a defect the reason why i purchased a toyota corolla was because i have no problems with my 2005, and all the other cars i have owned, don't have steering or paint problems. *tr

Regarding the acceleration surge in toyotas. we do not believe it was the floor mats! we have a 2009 corolla and last winter when it was 2 months old, the surge happened to my son when he was driving the vehicle. he had his foot totally off accelerator and nothing was caught under the accelerator. the corolla does not even have the type of mats that are considered dangerous as in the camrys and other models. thankfully, he had the knowledge put the brakes on hard, shove it in neutral and then applied the brakes once again and turn off vehicle. please do not let toyota just believe this is he result of floormats. i believe it is more computer and accelerator related. it has not occurred since. please continue your investigation. thank you. *tr

In the past year, i have experienced sudden 'jerks' during acceleration on at least two occasions, and had the vehicle inspected twice, in august 2009 and in december 2009. in both instances, toyota mechanics advised they could not identify a problem. additionally, throughout the past year, i have experienced noticeable problems with the electrical system, which raise concerns about the overall integrity of the electrics. there has been very frequent loss of power to the power door locks and manufacturer's radio. during the inspections, toyota mechanics could not identify a problem in this area either. *tr

I was driving my 2009 toyota corolla in dec. 2008. my car had 3000 miles on it at the time of my going off the road in my car. my daughter and i were traveling home in some very cold weather after christmas shopping. i was being careful due to the road being icy in places. we had went up this small incline and as we topped out i went to slow down by lightly pressing on the brake before we got to the icy stretch of highway, i had plenty of time to slow down but before i knew it we were on top of the icy highway spinning out of control. we spun out of control at least a couple times on the road with no control. we went off of the road, missing the mile marker by inches with my side mirror. we continued to go down a small incline and the car came to a rest at a large rock and rabbit brush. we were only a few feet away from going into a barb wire fence when we came to rest. i now have damage to my car. the 2009 corolla is amazing how the ice and snow builds up on the undercarriage of the car. i know there is a recall for the vacuum assist also. i do not under stand why this recall is only for certain states that a toyota is registered in. the way the car ices up underneath i can see how things could possibly ice up and not work correctly. we have some very cold weather in our state of nm and we are not under the recall. i do not understand the thinking here by toyota. we did not make a report of this because i thought maybe it was something i did. i have played this experience in my head several times over and over and i know that i was driving with caution and was not on ice when i applied my brake. now that we hear of all these recalls we have concern that the car may be under a number of recalls. we do not feel comfortable in the vehicle anymore but i cant just park my car. i did make a call to my insurance ...

We have a 2009 corolla. the vehicle has been jumping right from the time of purchase when we mention to dealership they have told us there is nothing wrong with the vehicle several times. they don't even document it unless we are demanding it. we have not had an accident as of yet but the spring has been put under the pedal and it still wants to take off at times. it is not consistent but frequent enough to be concerned. towne toyota refuses to own up to this problem, the date is the first date we experienced it. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. the contact was driving at 65 mph. the contact was switching into the left lane when the vehicle started to accelerate excessively without warning. the contact also stated that power steering malfunctioned and caused the vehicle to pull to the right when she pulled the wheel to the left. the contact also stated that she heard a small tapping noise under the hood. the dealer was notified; however, an appointment has not been scheduled. the vin was not available. the failure mileage was 8,000.

I purchased a new 2009 toyota corolla le from sunnyvale toyota on 9 march 2008 . this is the third new toyota corolla / geo prism that i've purchased; all similarly equipped with automatic transmission and cruise control. on may 29, 2008, while attempting to pull into a parking spot, the '09 corolla suddenly and unexpectedly accelerated while i was braking in order to come to a stop in a parking lot. the vehicle jumped the "parking berm" and almost hit a tree before i could come to a complete stop, slam the gearshift into park and turn the key to the off position. severe surging has occurred in normal in town traffic, with the cruise control disengaged, three or four times since the initial incident occurred. there is no forewarning or consistency in this pattern of sudden and unexpected acceleration. according to the toyota, the vin falls outside of the current recall range and therefore does not warrant investigation into the cause for these incidents. i feel that this vehicle poses a safety threat to myself, as well as other drivers, and that the cause of the sudden acceleration should be diagnosed and repaired prior to anyone being injured or worse. *tr
