Car accelerates by itself drastically making me almost hit a tree. This is the second time I make this complain to toyota. They told me the first time a couple of years ago there was nothing wrong with the car. The acceleration happens not in a regular basis but sporadic. This time it happens when I was going very slow and there were children playing close to my home. I was very slow no more 3 to 5 miles and hour. I had to hit the breaks very hard to stop since as I was turning into the driveway the car accelerated on its own.

I'm not certain regarding the specifics of the gas leak referenced in this article, but I am unable to fill my gas tank to full capacity as gas will leak from the tank because of pressure relief or overflow hose break at the top of the tank. I discovered this recently when attempting to fill up my tank. I have not noticed gas leaking while driving and am able to operate the vehicle with 3/4 tank of gas or less. I am wondering if this recall can be expanded. Thanks for your consideration to my information!

The gas started to leak from top of the fuel tank when filling to maximum level. This failure appeared after 5 years usage of the new car. Driver who was not aware of this problem, caused mutch fuel leak to streets. This would have been dangerous for drivers who smoke.

I was pulling into a parking spot at work (california state university east bay in hayward ca) at approximately 5 MPH. I applied the brake pedal to stop the vehicle, but instead of stopping, it went over the curb, crossed the walkway, broke through and knocked over a large bush, rolled down an incline for 3-4 yards, and stopped when it struck a tree. I believe the incident appears similar to the current investigation under the federal safety agency action number dp14003.

The fuel pump assembly is mounted in the top of the fuel tank , hanging down submerged in the gas. One of the power wires from the pump assy. Going to the electrical connector at the top mounting plate of the pump, was badly burned and melted causing the pump not to work when it warmed up along with this electrical connector. Remember this is inside the fuel tank. This could have created a serious explosion ! Toyota issued a recall for "ECM" (electronic control module) problems associated with stalling engine, sudden loss of power and engine cranks and will not start. I think some of the "ECM " problems could have been mis-diagnosed and were this burnt wire and connector from the fuel pump. On top of that this repair cost me approx. $1500.00 but maybe it saved my life. For safety reasons alone , this should be looked into and resolved. I hope this might help someone else before they are hurt.

I have a 2006 toyoto corolla ,engine eg053-06. I have had trouble with it being a slow crank or no start condition, as listed on the tsb update homepage. I was not aware of this, and purchased a new batthery, tested the starter,it was fine, alternator was fine. Took it to my mechanic who saw the problem and pulled up the tsb website and it is on there own site. The title of the notice is 1zz-fe engine "no start" or extended crank" condition. It affects corollas and matrixes. Surprise here. Anyway, it states the fuel pump assembly manufacturing process has been improved to correct this condition. The warranty ran out at 60,000 miles. I have 66,000. I think consumers should have been made aware of this since they know it was a known problem or it would have not been on their site. Now they want 1200.00 to fix this. Obviously the fuel pump assembly was defective to start with or they would not have to corrected it.it is also ironic that the other investigaton you are doing is on the same years and models, corolla and matrix. Have you had other complaints on this issue?
