It is extremely dangerous to be driving along and have that happen. I was fortunate to be on a country road with no other traffic. Had i been on a busy interstate at 70mph it could have been very problematic. Toyota has said that the ecm…

2006 corolla 4dr sedan has a faulty electronic control unit (computer) that causes complete engine shutdown. Diagnostic code p2716 for this model year gets 40,000 hits on google and yet there is no recall on this defective part. Dealer replacement with updated ecu part cost me $830 on this 3-year old car (we're at 83k miles so out of warranty). *cn

Driving on the road and my accelerator didn't work. The engine was still on but when i pressed on the accelerator it didn't register that i was pressing the foot. Towed to toyota dealer and they said that some ecm - engine control components were defective and they replaced the engine computer. Didn't think it necessary to do a recall because it was only in some cars. *cn

There needs to be a recall since this is dangerous if you are on the highway and it dies without notice. Does there need to be a death involved or can you guys have a recall before it happens. You need to go on toyota nation and see all the complaints. *tr
