Consumer Description

THE CAR SHUTS DOWN AND STOPS WITHOUT WARNING. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO TOYOTA 2 X THIS MONTH AND STILL NOT FIXED. IT WAS JUST TOWED AGAIN TODAY. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN ONCE THE CAR IS DRIVEN FOR AWHILE AND GETS WARMED UP. WHEN IT SITS FOR AWHILE IT WILL START AGAIN. I NOTICED THAT TOYOTA RECALLED SOME 2005 COROLLAS FOR ECM REPLACEMENT BUT I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL. MY RESEARCH SEEMS TO INDICATE THIS CAR IS HAVING ECM PROBLEMS. TOYOTA HAS ALREADY REPLACED FUEL REGULATOR SENSOR( 1ST TIME) AND OXYGEN SENSOR (2ND TIME) BUT AS STATED ABOVE IT HAPPENED AGAIN 3 DAYS AFTER SECOND REPAIR. MY 17 YR OLD GRAND DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS CAR. I BELIEVE IT IS THE EMC AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN PART OF THE RECALL. THIS IS DEADLY. THE CAR JUST STOPS. IMAGINE DRIVING ACROSS A BRIDGE 65 MILE AN HOUR AND YOUR CAR STOPS NO POWER NO ACCELERATION AND YOU THINK YOUR CAR HAS BEEN FIXED BY CERTIFIED TOYOTA MECHANIC. IF ON A HILL YOU CANNOT EVEN GET OFF THE ROAD. HELP!!! ONCE SHE WAS ON A STREET AND ONCE ON HIGHWAY.
