What owners wrote
I was changing lanes from the left hand lane to the right hand lane in a 2006 toyota corolla. The vehical accelerated suddenly left the road went through the cable barrier and over turned in opposing lanes. I was knocked unconcious. This happened at 6:00 on 7/15/2009 on I 10 in borne, tx.
Engine quit unexpectedly. Would not restart. Toyota service bulletin eg042-07 applies but would not be completed because of vehicle mileage. In the end replacing the ECU repaired the problem.
