When i take my foot off the accelerator, it feels like i have the cruise control. The car decelerate very slowly for anywhere between .5 to 1 mile then the rpm drops suddenly as it should when you first take your foot of the pedal. The other related problem is that if i'm just trying to maintain a constant speed anywhere between 50 and 60 miles/hr it feels like the engine stalls for a very brief moment then shortly…

This is a new car purchase (w/200 mi). At 60-75 mph (and noticeable also at slower speeds on other roads) on the freeway the car's steering wanders all over the road, it cannot stay on a straight line even if the steering wheel is not moved. Trucks passing by do not appear to greatly effect steering. Wind was not an issue. This, not a looseness but rather inaccurate steering, causes a wandering which is very…

Just leased a 2011 toyota corolla. When at a steady cruising speed, anywhere above 35, there is a scary intermittent dragging or resistance, and then surge in speed, along with crazy fluctuation in rpms, that is uncontrollable. In addition, when letting up on the accelerator to prepare to stop, the car locks in on the current speed, even at high speed and going uphill, and does not slow until the brake is firmly…

Have to firmly press brake pedal to disengage. Taken to dealer for service. Toyota servicing dealer advised me that the care was operating properly and that this was a designed safety feature. *tr

2011 toyota corolla maintains the speed/rpm when the foot is off the accelerator pedal. It happens at all speed, but it mostly visible at 60mph and above. The car will maintain the speed, as if the cruise control was engaged! When going downhill, even braking is not enough and i had to result to placing automatic transmission into neutral, in order to drop the speed. Lawrence toyota (nj) technician/mechanic test…

I purchased a new 2011 toyota corolla, and immediately noticed an issue with vehicle speed control. The vehicle maintains speed/rpm even after removing your foot from the accelerator. The issue is most visible when the car is travelling in excess of 40 mph and the transmission is in the highest gear. According to the dealer this is expected behavior. In my view it is a significant safety issue since the car does now…

I purchased my 2011 toyota s model on july 4th 2011. On the drive home i noticed a dragging feeling but thought maybe it was me at first getting used to the car. But on a daily basis the car would randomly pull back, so i started to pay attention and noticed that pretty randomly but mostly between 40 -60 mph the car rpm's would drop anywhere between 200-600 rpm's (quick jump down) and then back up causing the car to…

Around 250-300 miles i went over a dip in the road at about 40 mph and went to hit the brakes while taking a turn that was approaching a stoplight when the brakes would not let me push them down and would give me feedback as if abs was active. After a couple seconds i was able to reapply pressure to the brakes to stop. This happened a total of eight times in 2,100 miles. The car has been in some close calls, and all…

Well the accident hasn't happened yet, but it could be right around the corner if the dealership doesn't fix this. When i let off the gas at speeds between 40-60 mph. It seems as thought the cruise is on. The car does not decelerate normally. If there is a slight slope down it even picks up speed, i have to slam the break really heard to slow down the car its really scary when i go down hill. It's still getting fuel…

Intermittent deceleration issue: while driving and i take my foot off the gas to slow down, the car maintains the speed and does not decelerate until i put my foot on the brake, sometimes i have to pump brake to bring speed down. For lack of better description, it feels like the car is on cruise control. I have been back to the toyota dealer three times and after test driving and running diagnostic testing, was told…

The first time it…

Brake pedal and accelerator pedal is to far to the right it needs to be alittle more to left also their to close together. Makes seat bottom to the right (needs to be straighter)to match pedals. I think dashboard is to low. The body noises happen more with…
