Consumer Description

OUR 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA (102,000 MILES) EXPERIENCES VERY HARD AUTOMATIC SHIFTING THAT MAKES IT SOMETIMES DIFFICULT TO CONTROL WHILE DRIVING. THIS JUST HAPPENED SUDDENLY. AT FIRST THE PROBLEM WAS JUST INTERMITTENT, BUT NOW IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE CAR CHANGES GEARS. WE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND SAW THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH 05-07 TOYOTAS OF CERTAIN MODELS, AND THAT IT'S DUE TO A FAULTY ECM. UNFORTUNATELY, TOYOTA REFUSES TO REPLACE THE ECM, WHICH IS THE ONLY ($1000+) SOLUTION. *TR
