2009 Toyota Corolla Electronic Stability Control Esc Problems

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) WAS BLINKING AND STAY ON YESTERDAY. TODAY IT DOES THE SAME. SO TWO DAYS IN A ROW THIS HAPPENED. THIS HAPPENED WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY BOTH DAYS.

MY ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, VSC KEEPS BLINKING

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON AND OFF SPORADICALLY, SINCE THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION WAS BOUGHT OF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR FROM SUNNY SIDE TOYOTA SINCE MARCH 2009 ALL THE WAY UP TO THE PRESENT. NOW, I DIDN'T PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE, HOWEVER, MY BUDDY WHO DID HAS CLAIMED THIS LIGHT -- CHECK ENGINE, ALONG WITH ABS AND VSC WOULD COME ON TOGETHER. ALTHOUGH, HE HAS SAID, IT'S NEVER AFFECTED THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SAID VEHICLE -- I KNOW BETTER!! SINCE THE VEHICLE IS NOW UNDER MY OWNERSHIP AND UNFORTUNATELY, IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY. HOWEVER, THERE IS A TSB ON THIS EXACT SERVICE CODE P0607, WHICH INVOLVES CHANGING OUT THE PCM AND THE OTHER P CODE HAPPENS TO BE P0138, WHICH IS THE 02 SENSOR. SINCE THERE IS A TSB ON THIS SPECIFIC CODE - P0607, IT AFFECTS CERTAIN COROLLAS AND MATRIX FOR THE YEARS PRIOR TO MY VEHICLE -- SO WHAT A COINCIDENCE, WOULD YOU SAY? I WOULD SAY!! ALSO, ACCORDING TO REPAIRPAL.COM, THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THESE VEHICLES AND I THINK THIS SHOULD ALSO THEN BE A STANDARD RECALL, CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT MY 2009 TOYOTA MATRIX ONLY HAS 49K MILES. IT IS ALSO MENTIONED, UNDER THAT SERVICE CODE THAT THE PCM COMPUTER SHOULD BE REPLACED AND THUS, IT WOULD CORRECT THESE PROBLEMS THAT I SHOULD NOT BE HAVING. FUTHERMORE, IT'S LISTED IN THE TSB, THAT THIS IS ALSO COVERED UNDER THE EMISSIONS WARRANTY OF 96 MONTHS AND/OR 80K MILES. IS IT POSSIBLE TO BE ASSISTED WITH THIS MATTER AND HAVING TOYOTA, OUT OF GOOD FAITH, CORRECTING THIS ISSUE FOR ME. I HAVE THIS TSB DOCUMENT INFERRING SUCH ALONG WITH ANOTHER DOCUMENT WHICH STATES HOW CLOSELY SIMILAR MY ENGINE IS TO THE ENGINE IN QUESTION. THE P CODES STATED ABOVE WERE SUPPLIED BY THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, WHEN I LAST BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN FOR THE TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL. I WOULD SINCERELY, APPRECIATE ANY ASSISTANCE IN DEALING WITH THIS MATTER *TR

MY ECM CONSTANTLY HAVE ISSUES WITH STABILIZING THE VEHICLE ON A DAILY OCCURRENCE. WHEN IT WORKS AS IT SHOULD THE CAR FEELS STABLE LIKE IT HAS ADDED WEIGHT AND THE STEERING IS RESPONSIVE. THE ECM IN THE LATE 2000S ALL HAVE ECM PROBLEMS WHICH IS A SAFETY CONCERN SINCE BRAKING, TRANSMISSION AND STEERING ARE ALL AFFECTED IN SOME ADVERSE WAY. THE VEHICLE HAD A O2 SENSOR REPLACED AND IT STILL HAS THE SAME ISSUES, ALTERNATOR ALSO REPLACED. I BELIEVE TOYOTA KNEW ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH ITS TOYOTAS AND DECIDED NOT TO ISSUE A RECALL IN ORDER TO SAVE MONEY. IVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE SINCE A MONTH AFTER I GOT MY CAR 4 OR 5 MONTHS AFTER I GOT MY CAR. THE CODE P0607 ALONG WITH THE P0138 ARE CONSTANTLY GOING OFF IN MY VEHICLE. SOMETIMES THE P0138 WILL GO AWAY BUT THE SYMPTOMS OF A BAD ECM STILL REMAIN. THE CAR SHAKES, DOESN'T STALL YET, FEELS SLUGGISH AND HARD TO KEEP STRAIGHT AT ALMOST ANY SPEED.

MY 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA IS EXTREMELY HARD TO HANDLE ON THE ROAD IE, STAYING IN MY OWN LANE, MAINTAINING SPEED, WHEN THERE IS ANY TYPE OF CROSSWIND OR HIGH WIND. *TR

ON JUNE 6TH 2011 I BROUGHT MY 2009 COROLLA TO THE TOYOTA DEALER, I LOST COMPLETE POWER OF THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING, AC AND POWER WINDOWS, AFTER INSPECTION THEY SUGGEST I REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR AT $965 CHARGE, I DECLINED THE REPAIR, I BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY AND DROVE THE CAR HOME I STILL HAVE NOT FIXED IT, I REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR AND THAT DID NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM EITHER, THE TOYOTA DEALER ALSO SUGGESTED TO CHANGE THE WATER PUMP THEY SAY THEY CHANGE IT BUT I STILL SEE THE OLD SOME WHAT DIRTY OLD WATER PUMP. *TR
