| 2009 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA CAR WAS RECALLED FOR BRAKE PROBLEM. WHEN I HAVE THE BELOW PROBLEM, THE BRAKES WILL NOT STOP THE CAR. ENGINE REVS UP FOR NO REASON WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED. IN MY CASE, ALL ENGINE SPEED UPS OCCURRED WHEN I WAS STOPPED, AND MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE. IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 10 TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR. THE LAST TIME IT OCCURRED, I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, AND THE ENGINE SPED UP AND FORCED ME INTO THE INTERSECTION, WHERE I RAN INTO THE SIDE OF A PICKUP. THE ENGINE HAS SPED UP WHEN I FIRST STARTED THE CAR, AND THE CAR WAS IN PARK, AND MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. TOYOTA HAS LOOKED AT MY CAR AND SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. TOYOTA SAID THAT I HAD AN AFTER MARKET FLOOR MAT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND THAT IS A NO/NO. WHEN THE ENGINE SPED UP WITH ME DRIVING, THERE WAS NO MAT ON THE DRIVER SIDE FLOOR, EXCEPT THE TOYOTA MAT AND IT WAS RESTRAINED BY THE CLIPS. DO CAR MANUFACTURES EVER LOOK AT COMMENTS MADE MY THEIR CUSTOMERS? IN MY CASE, I WAS TOLD NO. *TR |
