Consumer Description

THE PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO - WHILE SHIFTING MY 2005 COROLLA (TYPICALLY WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR AND THEN FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR). IN ORDER TO NOT MAKE MY CAR STALL - I WOULD JUST GIVE IT A LOT OF EXTRA GAS TO ENSURE THAT IT WOULDN'T STALL. THE PROBLEM OCCURS REGULARLY - ALMOST EVERY TIME I DRIVE (ABOUT 1 TIME A WEEK). THE PROBLEM ONLY OCCURS WHEN STARTING AND STOPPING AND SHIFTING IN THE LOW GEARS. AFTER THIS PROBLEM STARTED IN FEB OF 2010 - I TOOK THE CAR TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THEY HOOKED THE CAR UP TO A COMPUTER AND SAID IT WAS FINE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY ALSO TOOK THE CAR ON A DRIVE TO SEE IF IT WOULD DO IT THEN, AND THEY CLAIMED IT DIDN'T. SO NOTHING WAS DONE AT THE THAT TIME. WHEN I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP, THE CAR CONTINUED TO SHIFT HARSHLY. *TR
