What owners wrote
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 toyota corolla. The vehicle was put into the park gear, however; it shifted to reverse. The dealer replaced the computer. After the repair was made the vehicle was sitting at a stop light and the warning indicator light for the door illuminated. The speedometer began to race up and down and there was a noise heard coming from the front end of the vehicle. The vehicle surged forward and crashed into the rear end of another vehicle. The front end of the vehicle was damaged.
My 2006 toyota corolla in early august developed a shifting problem that sounds like the problem I read about in stories today about nhtsa's investigation of corollas. The car's automatic transmission began to shift harshly from first gear to second gear. The engine warning light then came on. I took it to a toyota dealership. The dealer replaced the onboard computer, under warranty. Dealer said there was a technical service bulletin about this. This has fixed the problem.
