When it happens, i have to glide over to the shoulder and hope there's a place where i can park the car. So far, there has not been an accident. After two minutes, i am…

My 2007 toyota corolla engine stalled. I started the engine and went back inside the house and when i returned to the car i noticed the engine was off (which was bizarre because i knew i had turned it on). Of course the radio was still on. Several attempts to start it either resulted in the car not starting and in other instances it would start for a second and then shut off. I had to borrow my husband's car for the…

2007 toyota corolla stalled a traffic light in downtown rush-hour traffic. Would start back up, but only idle for 30 sec. And die again.

Seems to occur with mid-30k mileage. Mine had 34,800 miles. *tr
