2018 TOYOTA CAMRY

Check engine light came on and the performance of the vehicle is bad. Bad idle, weak engine, just the car is not performing properly. I used the scanner to see the code and i had more than one . P0171 P0505 P117B P0441 P0455 . Fuel/air mixture is lean . And i hear the fuel pump making that noise that indicates a bad fuel pump. It's when i put the key in i hear it loud enough and if i turn the key on it does it again. When i put it on p it revs and rpm goes up and then comes down, up again down again ... When stopped at a red light the car wants to move and rpm keeps shaking.

2010 FORD F-150 with 9230.0 miles

My Ford F-150 truck(milage,529) has stalled or lost power and stalled 10 times on 5 different occasions. The problem started on 01-14-11. The first two visits to the dealer they could not duplicate the condition or find a code in the computer. No mechanical work was performed. On 01-26-11 the wrench appeared, i drove directly to the dealer. The tech found two conflicting codes. He e-mailed Ford tech center with the problem. On 01-28-11 they replaced the throttle body. (code P0505) on 02-01-11 truck stalled again, this time they replace the resonator(pin point leak to the resonator hose code P0102 at 9511 miles. On 02-08-11 truck stalled at a stop sign. ( no wrench) on 02-15-11 truck stalled twice (wrench showed up ) at mileage 9,525- 14 miles since the resonator work. On 02-16-11 i had a meeting with the service manager. He was very courteous and professional. I gave the service manager a copy of a report on problems for 2010 Ford F-150 trucks. (www.Arfc.Org) i understand this information is from the national highway traffic safety administration (www.Nhtsa.Gov) this way they can not say they never heard of the problem. On 02-16-11 truck was returned to dealer. This is a very dangerous condition. The truck stalls between 10 and 40 mph you lose the ability to steer the truck.On one occasion i was turning into my property making a left turn. I was going slow so i was able to stop before i hit a snow bank. Once you lose power steering there is no way to steer the truck and the breaks fade very fast.

2005 FORD FIVE HUNDRED with 100000. miles

Bought the vehicle used in may 2010. Realized early-on that the transmission was not smooth, but willing to settle for less than perfection since it was a 2005 vehicle. In late 2012 or early 2013, i received 'recall' notice that pcm (i.E. - powertrain control module) could need to be reprogrammed due to stalling, herky-jerky transmission, etc. Took car to dealership, they ran diagnostics, charged me $100, and told me that my car wasn't effected because no error codes were noted and check engine light wasn't on. I was not happy, and refused to take my car to the dealership for repair. Problem persisted, until check engine light came on in october 2017 at roughly 125,000 miles. Took to local mechanic, was charged $150 for sensor replacement. Light came back on a day later. Took back, replaced sensor for free (nice!), but light back on a day later. Took to a different mechanic, was charged $250, replaced multiple sensors, light back on the next day. Took back to 2nd mechanic, when they shared with me that it was likely the pcm and the dealership would need to fix. Called dealership 3 days in a row, on hold for nearly an hour the 3rd time, was never connected to a service writer or tech, left 3 voice mails for service manager and was never called back. Researched issue and found nhtsa action number pe11018, where Ford initiated a customer satisfaction program 12n03 to extend coverage terms of repair of engine idle rpm surge caused by pcm needing reprogramming with software containing updated idle speed control. Per nhtsa, symptoms associated with the condition may include check engine light, diagnostic codes (dtcs) P0505, P0506, or P061B. Ford issued bulletin tsb 11-10-21 that included updated powertrain control calibration.

2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE with 25000.0 miles

I own a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited......I took my car in for the seat heater recall and since then i have terrible problems with the sudden acceleration of the car....(700rpms to 1800) i constantly have to push the brake down and be very conscious of keeping my foot on the brake. The check engine light then came on with a P0505 code. Air intake sensor. Well a new one was put in and the problem was not resolved. The mechanic could not control the idle even with the diagnostic computer attached to it. It was found that two wires on the wiring harness were shorting out and melting......Then after driving approx 1200 miles the idle starts jumping again.....The check engine light come on about two days later......Then within the same day the idle calms down and the check engine light goes off. I have paid lots of money to have this repaired.....I believe that there is a short somewhere from the seat heater recall since the car did not do this prior to having the dealership fix the seat heater with the recall. I really like my car when the idle is right ........I am not comfortable having anyone else drive it due to this issue and do not always feel safe when the acceleration goes wild.....Please help.....This is a major safety issue that needs to be addressed quickly before other people get hurt or killed.

2002 HONDA ODYSSEY with 74560.0 miles

When we are going uphill from full stopped it seems the transmission is not picking up and it sounds like slippage of the gear. Then the yellow check engine indicator lights up and when we got home i grabbed my code reader and says P0730 incorrect gear ratio and P0505 idle. There is no crash but almost because the car behind us are really fast going uphill and because im not pressing the brake so most likely he didn't see that were are not moving with the current flow of traffic plus it happened at night at around 11:05 pm after i dropped off my wife to work. My foot is in the gas pedal when i noticed we are not accelerating no matter how much you press the gas pedal. All you can hear is slippage of gear but idle is going up without power.

2001 NISSAN MAXIMA with 95025.0 miles

While driving at approximately 30 mph and decelerating the car began to slightly buck when the transmission tried to down shift. After approximately one to two minutes i smelled an electrical burn. When i came to a stop and put the car in park the engine raced to approximately 1600 to 1900 rpms at idle. The obd-ii indicated codes of P0505: idle air control valve and P0420: three way catalyst function. My local mechanic inspected the car and replaced the faulty idle air control valve. He contacted the local Nissan service shop, and they informed him that idle air control valve failed and shorted the engine control module, ecm. This seemed to be a common problem the dealer noted, and currently had another 2001 Maxima in the shop that was exhibiting the same failures. The dealer inspected my car and reported the idle air control valve failed and shorted the ecm. The failure of the idle air control valve should not short the ecm. This is a design failure and should not be the responsibility of the car owner. The ecm is a $915 part plus labor. The ecm was replaced. This is similar to odi id numbers: 10179328 and 10179390. *ak

2001 INFINITI I30 with 110000. miles

I was driving the car the engine was warm and running just fine. Then out of no where the car at 40 mph engine begin wildly revving the rpms went directly home and in park it was doing the same thing. Turned it off called a tow truck had it towed in to local shop. A check engine light came on showing a P0505 code. The shop replaced the iacm and then the ecu at a cost of over car was returned same code and check engine light on the mechanic said it would not relearn idle and to drive it around and see if that would help. I am an elderly woman and i spend the next few days riding the brake to keep the car in control. Idle was running high in park and drive. I was becoming afraid of the car and decided to take it to the Infiniti dealer for repairs. With same P0505 code and check engine light and in less then seven days the iacm and ecu once again needed to be replaced. That's because the motor mounts failed and since they are fluid filled they leaked causing the other parts to short out. The Infiniti dealer said the three parts are all on the same circuit but this is only known to Infiniti mechanics. The repair is now over $3000.00 pus the first charge. This is way more then my car value. I researched this condition on the internet. Kids have been driving these cars when the failure occurs at 80 mph with both feet on the brake. I never write anything on the internet but i am concerned this is going to cause a crash and someone may be seriously hurt. Car has 110000. Miles i will pay for the repairs out of pocket but i think this should be a recall.

2000 NISSAN MAXIMA with 100000. miles

Awareness needs to be made on the 2000 Nissan Maxima, the car will have a ecu breakdown resulting in the car to shut off at any given time. A trouble code of P0505 will trigger off in the car resulting in an insane repair cost. Numerous cars are affected and Nissan refuses to perform a recall on this car. Its a matter of time before one of these Nissans shuts down at the wrong time resulting in someone's death. There are pages upon pages of posts with this problem.
