Corolla

  • 31,858 miles
Our son was driving my car at approx 55 mph, in the afternoon, in cool clear spring weather... a clunk was heard, the engine died, he was lucky to find a wide spot to pull off the rural two lane highway and coast to a stop. The vehicle was towed to a dealer, diagnoses revealed dtc 607 ECM performance, description computer, engine. The computer was defective, and was replaced with 1 quantity....fp number 89661-02K21 computer for the engine under warranty. (31,858 miles on odometer) thurston's dealership in ukiah gave us great service and a quick turn around time enabling son to commute to college once again with little inconvenience. I'm greatly concerned about this incident and hope my data submission will serve to alert service departments, manufacturers and investigators to our experience with the engine computer chip defect. I want to help prevent the possibility of other drivers being placed in a potentially hazardous situation of loss of engine computer control while driving.
