Replying to: lonclip (Aug 15, 2009 6:44 pm) varying distances to the floor?.......what's going on here.....is it possible depending on which plant it was built?......somebody needs to conduct a field survey......lets' see, mine was built in Japan and the brake pedal does not go anywhere near the floor. That leaves the plant in Canada and NUMMI to checkout.... Is everybody using metric measurements or what?

| Since it looks like Toyota will be closing the Freemont CA Corolla plant soon, do you think its safe to buy or will the UAW start sabotaging cars with cans in the fender? | |

I've had my 2009 corolla for a year now. Ever since we've had it, at 30-40 mph the rpm's will all of a sudden DROP from a100-500 rpm's and then it will shoot back up. (usually around 1400-1100) The car will feel like it is wanting to die on me or like I have hit a road of tar. When we first got it, it was horrible. Almost impossible to drive at 30. Now still sucks, but not as bad.If I just barely (and I mean barely) let up on the accelerator at the 30-40 range, the rpm's look like a dancing drunk in a Saturday night bar. No problem at higher speeds. Sometime coasting from 45 down will cause the same thing to happen. The dealership says that is how all Toyotas drive and that they are just 'different' from what I have driven before. That's for darn sure. I've had it in four times and they've duplicated it, but again, 'that's how they drive'. Anyone have the same problem, and any solutions? I really want to drive my car down the road at 30 and not want to take a ballbat to it.

Replying to: cass01 (Aug 20, 2009 9:10 am) they all work.......I can tell you mine certainly doesn't do that. I did have an occassional idle problem when the car was shifted into drive or reverse, but that disappeared after a couple of months and a bottle of Gumout fuel system cleaner. As terceltom said before, drive another new Corolla at the dealership and compare it to yours then have the service manager do the same. Beyond those suggestions, you can always contact the Toyota regional service rep. for help.
