The ecm in the late 2000s all have ecm problems which is a safety concern since braking, transmission and steering are all affected in some adverse way. The vehicle had a o2 sensor replaced and it still has the same issues,…

I have two related concerns about the 2009 corolla s with traction and stability control. It is my belief that there is an unresolved software issue with the abs / stability system. I noticed the first issue at only 6000 miles, right after my second service at the toyota dealer. They performed the brake manifold recall related to nhtsa campaign id number: 09v338000 during that service. The front brakes began to…

We have a 2009 corolla. The vehicle has been jumping right from the time of purchase when we mention to dealership they have told us there is nothing wrong with the vehicle several times. They don't even document it unless we are demanding it. We have not had an accident as of yet but the spring has been put under the pedal and it still wants to take off at times. It is not consistent but frequent enough to be…
