NHTSA Complaint #10576704 — 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA

I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. SEVERAL ENGINE LIGHTS STARTED BLINKING. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, MY CAR WOULD ONLY MOVE VERY SLOWLY. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET THROUGH THE LIGHT WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND THEN COAST DOWNHILL TO A RESIDENTIAL AREA. I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF OF A 4-LANE DIVIDED HIGHWAY. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO MY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME THAT MY ENGINE CONTROL MODULE HAD SHORT-CIRCUITED AND REPLACED IT IN THE NEXT TWO DAYS, THE PART # BEING 8966102F54. THE CAR IS RUNNING FINE NOW. I'M SCARED THOUGH, THAT THIS MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN, OR THAT IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED AT HIGH SPEED, OR THAT MY TEENAGE DAUGHTERS WOULD HAVE PANICKED IN THE SITUATION AND MAY HAVE BEEN HIT WHILE GOING THROUGH THE GREEN LIGHT. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP. *TR
