Corolla/Matrix Stalling Problem?

Post by micbarric »

The '06 Vibe was not mentioned in the article below, but if the problem affects the Matrix and Corolla, then Vibes may be affected also.I guess it is possible that the problem could be factory specific, only involving Matrix/Corollas built in Canada, and not the Corolla/Vibes from NUMMI.Toyota Vehicles In Another Federal Safety ProbeQuote »December 5, 2009The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration posted a document this week launching the investigation into Toyota's Matrix and Corolla cars. It's the latest in a string of quality-related issues for the Japanese automaker in recent months.The document cited 26 complaints from drivers of 2006 model year Matrix and Corolla vehicles. Consumers "allege stalls occurring randomly while driving, including some on highways and some in intersections," the agency said.

Doesn't the same company supply the ECU or PCM for all the models though?
