NHTSA Complaint #10676200 — 2004 TOYOTA COROLLA

MOST IMPORTANT: WE DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR NOW. UNABLE TO GET ANSWERS TO POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS. CALLED TOYOTA THEY SAID THEY CANNOT ASSIST IF THE PROBLEM IS NOT HAPPENING WHEN THEY GET THE CAR. THIS PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AT BEST. I ASKED IF THEY HAD PROBLEMS SUCH AS MINE BELOW AND CAN GIVE ME SOME IDEA AND THEY SAID THEY CANNOT ASSIST ME WITHOUT HAVING THE PROBLEM OCCUR WHILE THEY HAVE THE CAR. WE CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR FOR IT MAY SHUT DOWN ON US. LATEST PROBLEM: THE VEHICLES ENGINE SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH. TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND EVERYTHING COMES ON AS IF IT WAS GOING TO START UP (MEANING: THE PROBLEM IS NOT BATTERY), BUT WOULD NOT CRANK OVER, NO NOISE, NOTHING. AFTER PLAYING WITH THE FUSES, AND WAITING A BIT THE CAR WAS ABLE TO CRANK OVER AND START. A WEEK BEFORE THE LATEST (ABOVE): THE CAR WAS IN PARK AND RUNNING, THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN, TRIED STARTING THE CAR AND SAME SCENARIO AS ABOVE, WE LET THE CAR REST OVERNIGHT AND THE NEXT MORNING IT STARTED UP. (WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO THE CAR). YEARS AGO: THE SAME THING AS ABOVE EXCEPT, I WENT TO GO USE THE CAR, IT WOULD NOT START, HAD NOISE AND LIGHTS BUT NO CRANKING OF ENGINE, NOTHING (SAME SCENARIO AS ABOVE). BUT, AFTER LETTING TIME GO BY THE CAR WOULD START. (I CHANGED THE KEY TO A BACKUP KEY I HAD AND IT STARTED UP.) OTHERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM AS WE HAVE TRIED TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, WE CAME ACROSS THE SAME SCENARIOS BUT NO SOLUTION. *TR
