The car I have referenced had a recall for the ECM unit in 2011. The unit was replaced (6/29/2011) for car not starting or stopping and shutting off. Soldering bad causing cracks in board. On 10/3/2011 the car had to be reprogrammed because the car would sometimes turn over but not start, then 30 min or so the card would start. Now the same problem is occurring. I have actually been in my car over night. I stopped at a store, turn off the car went inside for 10 min. This was around 6:00 pm came back out car would not start until the next morning around 8:15 am. I slept in my car so I did not have to leave on the side of the road or in a parking lot! everyone seems to ignore what is happening here. This is repetitive for this car. You already have a a complaint from a person dated 2010 where his ECM had to be replaced two to three times and he is still unhappy. At least my car has gone a little longer than his had. I do not have hundreds of dollars to pay for continuing to fight what is already in black and white at Toyota. Help me get this car fixed at their cost. If this was not a repeating issue, I would gladly pay for it, but it is repetitive!!!!!! this is an on going thing and started about a U=year ago. My case number with Toyota usa is: 1709051915 where I talked with them about this at the first of September. They say once a recall is complete there is nothing they can do. The problem I am having is highlighted on the attachment dated 10/3/2011

My car had difficulty starting after getting the new battery last month, and a couple days ago my engine stalled as I slowed it down to stop in the busy traffic road while I was going to the dealership to get it checked. I had it towed to the nearest dealership assuming that a wrong battery was installed, but it turned out to be a bad ECM. I had to get it fixed by paying over $800. The thing is the ECM unit in my car was a replaced one in the past as the Toyota recalled it. I am really scared of driving my car now because it might happen again in the future, and I wonder if Toyota knows this issue that the ECM does not recognize a new battery well. I read the same story while searching for this problem.

I have received a safety recall from Toyota, I went to the dealership to fix it, dealership did it, but I have received the safety recall again stating that records indicate that the vehicle has not yet had this condition corrected. It is either the dealer did not report it or dealer did not do it.
