My engine stopped this morning while i was driving my car, a 2005 toyota corolla, part of a 1.3 million car 2010 recall. Luckily, i was at a stoplight, my car restarted, and i was able to drive to a nearby toyota dealership, where it is being fixed free of charge (although it's taking 24-36 hours for the part to be restocked). Toyota's known about his potential problem since 2005 - i'm furious that it took them 5…

I have encountered what i believe to be a major manufacturing error. My vehicle's engine produces a very large and instantaneous increase in horsepower (a 'surge') at 6800 rpm (due to a 'cam switchover'). I have observed dynamometer readouts which place this jump at around 40hp. Because of this strange and instantaneous jump in horsepower, during slippery conditions, or on roads with debris such as sand or gravel,…

Rpm's increase when my foot is on the brake and the force of the rpm increase decompresses the brake pedal and my foot slips of the brake pedal. I have not experienced an accident due to this but it worries me that it may. This happens on a daily basis. I heard this may be normal but now reading that other people experienced this, i plan to get it checked. Aside from this, there is dash board rattling, seal issue…
