My Toyota Corolla is 4 yrs old with only 18,000 miles and I am having the strap on the fuel tank replaced because it has rusted out. I was coming back from a trip this weekend when it started to drag and make noise. This is costing me $331 for new parts and repair. Considering the age of my car and the mileage this does not seem right to me. Are Corollas having the same problem as the Tundra with gas straps rusting out?

I have a 2006 Toyota Corolla, with intermittent problem with the acceleration of the car. I took it in and the dealer is saying that there is not problem with the acceleration of the care. But they said there is a bad throttle position sensor and that it would cost we $1200 to repair. (the acceleration problem has occurred 3 of 4 times in the past 6 months. They are say is code # P0121. Throttle position sensor out of range.

My 2006 Toyota Corolla ce would not stop when I exited off I-5 at the 128th St exit near millcreek wa. The engine was racing and I floored the brake and threw the car into neutral to avoid a huge crash into the vehicles in front of me. I bought the car new in 2006 and the computer has had to have two replacements. The car would not run without warning and has had to be towed. I am fearful of my safety and that of my passengers in this vehicle and have had little explanation at the dealership except that this is 'rare'. the dealership told me to take the mats out of the driver's side of the car altogether, but I'm positive the failure to stop had nothing to do with stuck mats. This all seems connected to the problem I've had from the very beginning with the car's computer failures.
