    I own a 2005 toyota corolla. Just recently the check engine light came on. Soon after the transmission would jump every time the car shifted into a higher gear. In other words, as i increased in speed it would make a hard shift or something like it. Turns out that the ecm is bad and needs to be replaced. From doing a quick internet search it appears that this is a widespread problem and definitely poses a safety…

    I was in the act of parking my vehicle in a parking lot and placed my right foot on the brake and proceeded to shift the gear into the park position. But before i could complete this action, my vehicle spontaneously accelerated and hurtled forward. I was lucky that my vehicle was stopped by crashing into a metal sign post. Had the post not been there, my vehicle would have gone into a very busy main road. *tr
