NHTSA Complaint #10330220 — 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA

MY COROLLA 2007 STOPPED ON THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SUDDENLY ON AND BATTERY LIGHT IS ALSO ON WITHOUT ANY WARNING. AFTER TWO MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO TURN ON AND DREW ONE BLOCK TO A MECHANIC SHOP AND ASKED THEM TO CHECK BATTERY AND OTHER PROBLEMS. MECHANIC SAID BATTERY IS WEAK, HE RECOMMENDED TO CHANGE BATTERY, BUT HE SAID SOME OTHER PROBLEMS MAY EXIST. I ASKED HIM TO CHANGE BATTERY. HE CHANGED AND IT STARTED OK. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. AFTER I DREW THREE SIGNALS, CAR STOPPED ON THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AGAIN WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SUDDENLY ON WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND BATTERY LIGHT IS ALSO ON. I TOWED THE CAR TO DEALER. AS PER INVOICE THEY DID FOLLOWING WORK. ?P0607- ECM SHORTENED, REPLACED ECM AND RE-CHECKED: OPERATES AS DESIGNED?. MY CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY, THEY DID NOT CHARGE FOR PARTS AND SERVICE. I STRONGLY BELIEVE IT IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. IF THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED ON FREEWAY, THAT COULD BE DANGEROUS AND LEAD TO FATAL CRASH. *TR
