RussianInDaytona Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I have a 2005 Corolla Le, and when i accelerate from a stop the car jerks forward. In order for it to not do this i hae to really baby the gas. What are some possible reasons to why this is happening??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leighcm Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I know some of those had a shift issue with the transmission...check with your local dealer as it may be under warranty or at least have a TSB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XR2003 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Might be an issue with the Drive By Wire Sensor.... If I recall correctly the 2005 Corollas had a throttle body with no cable just sensor control. Check with the dealer on this, there may also be a TSB.

RussianInDaytona Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 sorry guys im kinda new, whats a tsb?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leighcm Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 TSB = Technical Service Bulletin. Means Toyota is aware of a problem, has a fix for it (usually), and may possibly offer warranty coverage for the problem if your car is out of factory warranty. For example, there was a TSB on my 2007 GS350 for excessive brake dust. The fix was to give me an entirely new set of rotors and pads that didn't give off as much dust. Brakes usually aren't warranty items as they are wear items, but these were covered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leighcm Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Quite often, yes. One prime example that's not covered is the strut noise on the late 90's Camrys and Avalons. There's a TSB, but that is definitely not covered by warranty...been there, done that... :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
