This is a common problem on corollas and matrix, it's an engine control module (ECM) malfunction, toyota has issued a recall on them, visit the toyota dealer to get the ECM replaced at no charge, there is no time or mileage limit.
This is a known problem with Toyota, there is a recall on the ECM (Electronic Control Module). Check with your Toyota service center for verification with your VIN number.
This
has nothing to do with the shift solenoid switch. It is a failure of
the ECM computer module. If your car is less than eight years old and
less then 80K miles, it is covered by warranty

I have a 2006 Corolla that needs ti get towed to the dealer. I think it's the ECM problem. My brother has a 2006 Matrix and the ECM was replaced in his a few months ago, at no cost to him.
Toyota knows about this issue, and a new engine Control Module (ECM) has been developed to rectify this condition. If your car is under 96 months old, and has less than 80,000 miles, the ECM will be replaced FREE by your Toyota dealer. The replacement ECM corrects the shifting issue.
Mention Tech Service Bulletin "TC015-07" when you take it in for service. If you are beyond the time and mileage as listed above, I can give you the part number for the ECU, if you want to purchase one.
GOOD NEWS!!!!
You have an issue that Toyota knows about; there is a programming problem with the ECM in the vehicle, and Toyota has released a Tech Service Bulletin (TC015-07) to cure your problem.
You probably have a DTC code of P-2716...The ECM needs replaced with an updated unit.
PLUS: this repair should be covered for 96 months of use, or up to 80,000 miles. The replacement ECU will be installed totally for free. Call your local Toyota dealer & get an appointment.
your best bet is to get a used ecm form a salvage yard it should cost you about 200 dollars that is far cheaper than going to a dealership or a parts store. generally that is what i do when i replace ecms. there are plenty of wrecked vehicles and the ecm is good in them so why pass it up to get a part that cost brand new about 1500 dollars.. goodl luck. please rate this
