2017 TOYOTA COROLLA Fuelpropulsion System Problems

On the morning of July 21st the vehicle was parked in the garage the night before when all of the sudden our neighbors were yelling at my wife and I to exit the house because they saw fire flames and black smoke coming out of the garage. Everything in that garage and part of the house was destroyed. After it was safe to enter the house we noticed the damage was concentrated where the Toyota was parked, the explosion from the engine caused the hood to almost touch the windshield. Half the engine was gone.

Car is turned off and parked in driveway. Few hours later went to start the car. Noise coming from gas tank. Fuel pump running by itself, loud and noticeable.

1ST OF ALL FIX YOUR SITE I HAVE TO NOW WRITE EVERYTHING OVER AGAIN& AGAIN.FIX THIS.I WAS ON FREEWAY WEST ON I-10 TURNED OFF ON WASHINGTON ST. EXIT& WARNING LIGHT &BUZZER SHOWING BATTERY FLASHING&30 SECONDS MY P.S. LIGHT FLASHES& LOST POWER&STEERING& WAS ABLE TO VEER INTO PARKING LOT.IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED 3 MINUTES EARLIER I WOULD HAVE BEEN RUN DOWN BY HEAVY TRAFFIC.IN LESS THAN 2 MINUTES I LOST POWER& STEERING.DON,T THINK I WILL EVER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR AGAIN.AFTER REPLACING ALTANATOR-WATERPUMP-THERMOSTAT-TIMING BELT-SPARK PLUGS-CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR& CAMSHAFT SENSOR.STILL CRANKS BUT WON'T START.ENGINE ROTATES BUT WON'T TURN OVER OR START

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A DOWNGRADE WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED AND SET TO 65MPH, THE CVT TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS, THE RPMS INCREASED AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED TO WELL OVER THE SPEED LIMIT. IT FELT LIKE I WAS LOSING CONTROL. I HAD TO ACTIVATE THE BRAKES TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL IN ORDER TO REDUCE MY SPEED TO BELOW THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT. I TRIED IT AGAIN ON ANOTHER DOWNGRADE AND THE SAME SITUATION WAS DUPLICATED. THE CAR WILL ALSO ENGAGE RPMS WHEN YOU ARE DOWNGRADING OR UPGRADING IN CRUISE CONTROL I DID NOT TAKE THE CAR INTO A DEALER SINCE THE ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED TO DEALERSHIPS WITH A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM.

I HAVE OWNED MY CAR JUST UNDER A YEAR. I HAVE HAD CONTINUOUS ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION RANDOMLY DOWN SHIFTING AT STOPS AND NOW I GET A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SO I PULL INTO MY CLOSEST AUTO PARTS STORE SINCE IT'S SUNDAY. BOOM 17 CODES FOR EMISSION CONTROL FAILURE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS LESS THAN A YEAR AND IM ALREADY SHOWING TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND EMISSION CONTROL ISSUES. THIS IS NOT A GOOD SIGN FOR FUTURE YEARS TO COME. THERE WAS A RECALL EARLIER THIS YEAR INVOLVING THE TRANSMISSION AND NOW ITS SUDDENLY DISAPPEARED. I FIND IT STRANGE ESPECIALLY SINCE TOYOTA KEEPS DOWNPLAYING EVERYTHING EVERY TIME I GO IN.

WAS DRIVING IN MIDDLE LANE OF INTERSTATE 10 WHEN VEHICLE LOST POWER. CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. CAR COASTED FOR APPROX. 5 MINUTES. HAD TO PUT ON EMERGENCY FLASHER, PUT CAR IN PARK TO RESTART ENGINE. CARS COMING UP BEHIND ME DOING 75/80/85 MILES PER HOUR AND HAD TO SWERVE IMMEDIATELY TO KEEP FROM HITTING MY VEHICLE. I HAD A FRIEND IN PASSENGER SEAT AND WE WERE BOTH SCARED FOR OUR LIVES. TO THIS DAY, I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE ON INTERSTATE OR ANY OTHER BUSY HIGHWAY BECAUSE TOYOTA SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. THROWS 5 CODES ALL EMISSIONS AND FUEL ERRORS. TOYOTA DEALERSHIP HAD IT FOR A FULL DAY AND CAN NOT FIGURE OUT WHY/CAUSE. NEEDS FOR LONGER. 8000 MILES ON CAR.

CAR SPEEDS UP AT STOP OR LOW SPEEDS ON HIGHWAY AND STREETS STOP AND GO TRAFFIC
