2011 Toyota Corolla Fuel System Problems

WELL THE ACCIDENT HASN'T HAPPENED YET, BUT IT COULD BE RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER IF THE DEALERSHIP DOESN'T FIX THIS. WHEN I LET OFF THE GAS AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 40-60 IT SEEMS AS THOUGHT THE CRUISE IS ON. THE CAR DOES NOT DECELERATE NORMALLY. IF THERE IS A SLIGHT SLOPE DOWN IT EVEN PICKS UP SPEED. IT'S STILL GETTING FUEL EVEN THOUGH YOU DON'T HAVE YOUR FOOT ON THE PEDAL. IT CAN TAKE A FEW MIN OR SEVERAL MILES BEFORE IT KICKS OFF THE GAS AND ACTS NORMALLY. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP NEXT SATURDAY TO GET THIS FIXED, BUT I'M READING THAT SOME DEALERSHIPS ARE SAYING THIS IS NORMAL. I HOPE MINE DOESN'T SAY THAT BECAUSE THIS IS DANGEROUS!! I HAVE BEEN READING THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH MANY OWNERS. I HOPE THIS HELPS US GET A RECALL FROM TOYOTA. PLEASE HELP!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY STATED THAT THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000.

AT SPEEDS GENERALLY ABOVE 40 MPH THE ENGINE CONSTANTLY SURGES. IT SURGES EVEN WHILE ON CRUISE CONTROL. THE SURGES ARE ACCOMPANIED BY A FLUCTUATION OF 400 RPMS. ONE ONE OCCASION, I WAS SLOWING IN TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE IT WAS SURGING - I HAD TO APPLY MORE PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES AS AT THAT VERY MOMENT IT WAS ON AN INCREASE IN RPM'S. *TT

I PURCHASED MY 2011 TOYOTA S MODEL ON JULY 4TH 2011. ON THE DRIVE HOME I NOTICED A DRAGGING FEELING BUT THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS ME AT FIRST GETTING USED TO THE CAR. BUT ON A DAILY BASIS THE CAR WOULD RANDOMLY PULL BACK, SO I STARTED TO PAY ATTENTION AND NOTICED THAT PRETTY RANDOMLY BUT MOSTLY BETWEEN 40 -60 MPH THE CAR RPM'S WOULD DROP ANYWHERE BETWEEN 200-600 RPM'S (QUICK JUMP DOWN) AND THEN BACK UP CAUSING THE CAR TO DRAG AS IF THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED. THIS IS GOING ON A LEVEL ROAD AT A CONSTANT SPEED - THIS IS NOT NORMAL AN DOESN'T FEEL SAFE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM (SURPRISE, SURPRISE)! I TOLD THEM THERE WAS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM AND I DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING MY KIDS AROUND IN IT. THEY ASKED ME TO COME BACK AND TEST DRIVE WITH THE TECHNICIAN WHICH I DID. THE TECH NOTICED AND FELT THE PROBLEM- THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR ABOUT 1 WEEK AND CALLED ME BACK AND SAID TOYOTA KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM AND IS DILIGENTLY WORKING ON IT THAT IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH A FLASH DRIVE BUT THAT TOYOTA WAS BEING EVASIVE ON THEIR ANSWERS. I CALLED THE DEALER BACK ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER AND THEY DID NOT RESPOND TO ME. THIS CAR IS SO ANNOYING TO DRIVE AND DOESN'T FEEL SAFE AT ALL. I CALLED TOYOTA CORPORATE AND FILED ANOTHER CLAIM AND WAS TOLD I WOULD BE CONTACTED IN 48 HOURS- THIS DID NOT HAPPEN. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED, THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM HERE AND I HAVE NEVER DRIVEN A CAR THAT DOES THIS. I OWNED A COROLLA DX BEFORE AND I LOVED THAT CAR BUT I BOUGHT IT IN 1993. THIS PROBLEM HAS TO GET FIXED, IF THEY KNOW ABOUT IT WHAT COULD BE TAKING SO LONG TO COME UP WITH SOLUTION. ARE THEY GOING TO WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE IS KILLED (I.E.THE PRIUS SITUATION SURGING FORWARD)? NOT ACCEPTABLE! *TR

TOYOTA COROLLA THROTTLE STICKS REGULARLY, NO INCIDENT BUT VERY SCARY TO DRIVE. *TR
