I purchased this car as a new vehicle. Ever since i have had it there has always been an acceleration issue to where it does not slow down for several seconds after releasing your foot from the gas. It accelerates often to where you have to apply the brakes firmly to where the anti lock then kicks in. During servicing it has been brought to the attention of the dealership but they have continued to say that there is…

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…

I recently purchased a 2011 toyota corolla with 45k miles. For the past month when traveling between 40 and 70 mph the car looses power. The tachometer will go down 200 to 300 rpms in a matter of a few seconds. It is like the engine is fluttering then after 10 to 30 seconds power returns and the rmps return to the previous setting. This loss of power makes the vehicle dangerous to drive. I started looking at…

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…
