| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was exiting a restaurant waiting to turn right on a busy highway. while sitting there with the car in drive and my foot on the brake pedal, the engine suddenly started racing. the car sugred forward a couple of feet but i pressed harder on the brake pedal and stopped it again. i put the car in neutral and tapped the gas pedal a couple of times but the engine kept racing very fast. i finally put the car in park and turned the key off. after restarting the car, it seemed to be fine except the idle seemed to be a little bit faster than normal. i took the car to a toyota dealer the next day but they were unable to duplicate the problem and said they could not find anything wrong. i was asked several times whether my foot could have been on the brake and gas pedals at the same time but i am absolutely sure this was not the case. please reference odi id numbers 10109072, 10173082, 10137143, 10125071, 10163070, 10200923, 10165337, 10166526 for similar complaints related to 2005 and 2006 corollas. *tr updated 01-16-08. *kb |
