2017 Toyota Corolla complaints

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A USED 2017 COROLLA AND I AGREE WITH 2 OTHERS THAT THE WINDSHIELD HAS A DESIGN FLAW. IT IS EXTREMELY ANGLED IN TOWARD THE CAR AND REFLECTS THE DASHBOARD IN THE WINDOW. THE DASHBOARD IS LIKE A MIRROR AND THE VENTILATION LEVERS THAT RUN ALONG THE DASH REFLECT IN THE LOWER HALF OF THE WINDOW AND THUS CUT OFF VISIBILITY. I HAVE TO WEAR SUNGLASSES WHENEVER I DRIVE IT AND EVEN SO, NEED TO BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO HIT A PEDESTRIAN ETC. I CALLED TOYOTA NATIONAL BUT TINA C. (CASE #1910213249) DENIED HAVING ANY KNOWLEDGE OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. VERY DANGEROUS FEATURE AND AFTER BEING A LIFE-LONG TOYOTA OWNER, I AM READY TO SWITCH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2017 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS IDLING AT A STOP SIGN, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND DEEMED TOTALED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INJURED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2017 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING 34 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE QUARTER PANEL CAUSING DAMAGE TO ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND REAR PASSENGER DOOR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL AIR BAGS DEPLOYED RELEASING AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF TOXIC DUST INTO THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER SIDE FOOT AIR BAG DEPLOYED FRACTURING HER RIGHT HEEL SEVERAL PLACES AS WELL AS BURNS ON BOTH WRISTS THAT NEEDED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO HER DRIVER SIDE DOOR CAUSING QUESTIONS AS TO WHY THE DRIVER'S SIDE KNEE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL TOW LOT WHERE IT WAS CONSIDERED A TOTAL LOSS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. *PM *DL

LANE DEPARTURE ALERT & PRE COLLISION SYSTEM MALFUNCTION WARNING LIGHT KEEP ILLUMINATING ON THE DASHBOARD FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME AND THEN WILL TURN OFF AGAIN WITHOUT WARNING. THIS IS ALSO AFFECTING THE CRUISE CONTROL AND THE ABS SYSTEM. I NOTICED THAT IT AFFECTS WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE TRANSMISSION WHEN I AM COMING TO A STOP THE CAR WILL SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY AND ACT LIKE IT IS OUT OF GEAR. ALMOST LIKE IT IS POSSESSED. IT'S BEEN DOING IT ON AND OFF SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY WILL FIX IT TEMPORARILY AND THEN SEVERAL MONTHS LATER IT ALWAYS COMES BACK. THIS PAST TIME HAS BEEN THE WORST AS IT SEEMS LIKE THERE ARE MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS THAT ARE BEING AFFECTED AND IT IS ACTUALLY AFFECTING THE STEERING AS WELL AS THE BREAKING AND EFFICIENT RUNNING OF THE VEHICLE .

WHEN CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED, IF IT HITS A LEVEL OR DOWN HILL IT APPEARS TO DOWN SHIFT, BUT CONTINUE TO SPEED UP. IT SHOULD JUST REDUCE THE FUEL TO SLOW DOWN. THIS APPEARS TO BE A PROGRAM PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS. IT WAS BOUGHT USED FROM A TOYOTA DEALER. I HAVE NOT ASKED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT YET.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A DOWNGRADE WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED AND SET TO 65MPH, THE CVT TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS, THE RPMS INCREASED AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED TO WELL OVER THE SPEED LIMIT. IT FELT LIKE I WAS LOSING CONTROL. I HAD TO ACTIVATE THE BRAKES TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL IN ORDER TO REDUCE MY SPEED TO BELOW THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT. I TRIED IT AGAIN ON ANOTHER DOWNGRADE AND THE SAME SITUATION WAS DUPLICATED. THE CAR WILL ALSO ENGAGE RPMS WHEN YOU ARE DOWNGRADING OR UPGRADING IN CRUISE CONTROL I DID NOT TAKE THE CAR INTO A DEALER SINCE THE ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED TO DEALERSHIPS WITH A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM.

WHEN PURCHASING THE CAR AND LEAVING THE CAR LOT I HEARD A GRINDING/RUBBING NOISE WHICH SOUNDS JUST LIKE BRAKE PADS BEING WORN AS WELL AS ROTORS. I CONTACTED THE CAR LOT AND THEY ASSURED ME IT WAS FROM RUST WHERE IT HAD SIT. THEY HAD ME TAKE IT TO TOYOTA OF KINGSPORT AND THEY EVALUATED STATING IT WAS RUST. I STILL HEAR THE RUBBING OR LOUDNESS AFTER THEY REPLACED THE ROTORS. PLEASE RECALL

WHEN YOU PUSH THE SPORTS BUTTON THAT GIVES IT SPEED YOU DRIVE ABOUT 5 MILES AND THE CAR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL FLADH. THEN THE CAR WILL NOT DRIVE OVER 30MPH. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO FRED HESS DEALER TWICE AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. BUT IT WILL STILL DO IT. SO I STOPPED USING IT. I ONLY HAVE 20K MILES ON THE CAR. SO IT'S DANGEROUS IF YOUR ON THE FREEWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY PULLED TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SANSONE AUTO MALL (LOCATED AT 90-100 US HIGHWAY 1, AVENEL, NJ 07001, (866) 809-9999) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT A FAILURE CODE COULD NOT BE LOCATED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A WHEEL ALIGNMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,002. *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE FRAME WAS BENT. *TR *JS

TOYOTA SPECIAL SERVICE CAMPAIGN JSD. UNDERSTAND THAT TOYOTA HAS NOTIFIED DEALERS THERE IS A KNOW DEFECT WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. HOWEVER, AS AN OWNER I HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. TRANSMISSION DOES NOT OPERATE SMOOTHLY WHEN DRIVING. TOYOTA IS ATTEMPTING TO CORRECT WITH A SOFTWARE UPDATE, BUT THEY ARE NOT ACTUALLY DISASSEMBLING THE CVT TRANSMISSION TO CHECK FOR PROBLEMS\UNNECESSARY WEAR. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL, SO OWNERS WILL BE COVERED IN THE LIKELY EVENT THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS BREAK IN THE FUTURE DUE TO THE KNOWN DEFECT ISSUE AND THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. APPEARS TOYOTA IS TRYING TO SAVE MONEY BY NOT ISSUING A RECALL, AND JUST TRYING AN INEXPENSIVE AND INADEQUATE SOFTWARE UPDATE WITH INVESTIGATING WHETHER THE PROBLEM HAS CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION.

WHILE DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD LIT UP AND CAR SHUT DOWN.ACCORDING TO SCREEN ON DASH IT SHOWED MALFUNCTION OF AIRBAGS, ABS, LANE CHANGE WARNING, AMONG OTHER SYSTEM PARTS. ABLE TO RESTART CAR AND DRIVE IT TO DEALER. TOYOTA NOTIFIED ME THAT SQUIRRELS HAD EATEN THE MAIN WIRE HARNESS. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT TOYOTA AND OTHER AUTO MANUFACTURERS USE SOY BASED WIRING AND WIRE COVERS WHICH DRAW ALL TYPES OF RODENTS TO THEM AND THEY DESTROY THE MAIN HARNESS ELECTRICAL PARTS TO MALFUNCTION. THIS CAN CAUSE DANGEROUS SITUATIONS WHILE DRIVING POSSIBLY CAUSING ACCIDENTS RESULTING IN INJURY OR DEATH. BRAKES MAY FAIL ,AIR BAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY ETC. TOYOTA KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM BUT REFUSES TO CORRECT IT. IT COST ME $5000.00 TO REPAIR AND I STILL DO NOT FEEL SAFE. I NOTIFIED TOYOTA CORP. OFFICE THEY TOOK MY COMPLAINT AND SAID NOTHING COULD BE DONE ABOUT IT. THEY DID GIVE ME A CASE #[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED FOR A LEFT TURN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE TO GET THROUGH THE INTERSECTION WHEN THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THREE OCCASIONS AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT CHECKED AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE IT. TRANSMISSION HAS NOT BEEN SHIFTING CORRECTLY AND NOW THE TRANSMISSION IS MAKING A STRANGE GRINDING NOISE. THIS COROLLA HAS A CVT TRANSMISSION AND THE TOYOTA COROLLA FORUMS ARE TELLING ME THAT TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAD ISSUED A SPECIAL SERVICE CAMPAIGN TO UPDATE THE SOFTWARE. THIS HAS SINCE BEEN RESCINDED BECAUSE THE UPDATE DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM.I HAVE READ THAT THIS LOSS OF POWER IS CAUSING SOME SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS, ESPECIALLY IF IT HAPPENS ON HIGH SPEED HIGHWAYS.

AFTER BEING BLINDED BY RIDICULOUSLY BRIGHT HEADLIGHTS ON NEWER TOYOTA VEHICLES THE LAST COUPLE YEARS, I RECENTLY RENTED A TOYOTA COROLLA. I WAS HORRIFIED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS CAR ARE LEGAL. NOT ONLY DO YOU BLIND ONCOMING VEHICLES, BUT YOU CAN'T SEE SAFELY! THE BRIGHTNESS OF THESE HEADLIGHTS IS SUCH THAT ANYTHING REFLECTIVE BLINDS YOURSELF! (ROAD SIGNS, ETC.) YET, SOMEHOW THEY DON'T ,IN MY OPINION, LIGHT THE ROAD AHEAD ADEQUATELY. THEY DO SEEM TO LIGHT THE TREES AND THINGS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD PRETTY WELL, BUT NOT WHAT NEEDS TO BE SEEN. ALSO THE HIGH BEAMS ARE WORTHLESS, AS THE JUST SEEM TO LIGHT THE TREES MORE. ALL OF THIS WAS OBSERVED WHILE DRIVING IN THE DESERT OF NEW MEXICO AND TEXAS ON TWO LANE HIGHWAYS. I AM CONVINCED AMERICANS ARE DYING BECAUSE OF THE INADEQUACIES OF THESE HEADLIGHTS.

WHEN GOING DOWNHILL ON CRUISE CONTROL MY COROLLA'S RPM'S GO UP TO 5000 AND INSTEAD OF KEEPING STABLE SPEEDS IT INCREASES THE SPEEDS. I FEEL LIKE I CAN'T CONTROL MY VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I'M NOT SURE IF SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE RE-PROGRAMMED BUT I'VE SEEN SO MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE. I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF A WRECK HAS HAPPENED BECAUSE OF THIS. TOYOTA NEEDS TO BE FORCED TO FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE SERIOUSLY GETS HURT OR DIES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 TOYOTA COROLLA EQUIPPED WITH FIRESTONE FR74 TIRES, SIZE: P215/45R/17 (NA). WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FRANTIER TOYOTA (23621 CREEKSIDE RD, VALENCIA, CA) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIRES WERE LEAKING AIR; HOWEVER, THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TIRES WERE FAULTY. THE TIRE AND VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

CRUISE CONTROL MALFUNCTION, TRACTION CONTROL MALFUNCTION, COLLISION RADAR WARNING SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. DEALER WAS UNABLE TO SOLVE ISSUE. TRANSMITION VIBRATION WHEN CHANGING FROM 2ND TO 3RD & BACK FROM 3RD TO 2ND GEAR. ALL SAFETY EQUIPMENT, SPECIFICALLY CRUISE CONTROL, TRACTION CONTROL, LANE DEPARTURE WARNING, COLLISION WARNING ARE TURNED OFF & AN ERROR WARNING IS VISIBLE ON THE DASH, DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT CLAIMS IT IS AN UNKNOWN ISSUE BUT 8 OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS BROUGHT THEIR CAR IN THE SAME DAY, WE HAD A DISSCUSION WHILE WAITING & DRINKING COFFEE.

DISAPPOINTED WITH TOYOTA ON THIS, LAST ONE I WILL PURCHASE IF THEY ARE UNABLE TO PROVIDE A FIX! WHILE IN MOTION ON EVERY OCCASION THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ENGAGED AND THE VEHICLE IS ON A DECLINE THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT MAINTAIN THE SET SPEED. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME OF 4 OTHER COROLLA'S I HAVE OWNED THAT RESPONDED LIKE THIS. DEPENDING ON THE SEVERITY OF THE DECLINE THE SPEED WILL INCREASE FROM 5 TO 15 MPH AND THE ENGINE REVS TO 4,000 RPMS IN AN ATTEMPT TO MAINTAIN SPEED. ADAM'S TOYOTA DEALERSHIP HAS STATED THAT THIS IS A NORMAL OCCURRENCE FOR ALL 2017 COROLLA'S CVT'S AND I MAINTAIN IT'S NOT AND CRUISE IS USELESS THEREFORE I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED. THE CRUISE CONTROL IN ALL OTHER VEHICLES (PRIOR COROLLA'S AND OTHER MAKES) I HAVE OWNED HAS MAINTAINED A CONSISTENT SPEED NO MATTER THE ROAD BEING TRAVELED. SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED EVERY TIME I HAVE ENGAGED THE CRUISE CONTROL. OTHERS ONLINE HAVE COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE AS WELL. TOYOTA PLEASE PROVIDE FIX

THE CVT TRANSMISSION MAKE A SOUND UNKNOW THE DEALER SAY ME THAT IS ALL NORMAL IN THE CAR FOR ME IS NOT NORMAL OTHER CARS CONTAIN CVT TRANSMISSION AND THIS SOUND NOT MAKE IN OTHERS CVT TRANSMISSION IS MORE MAKING SOUND IN CLIMB AND WHEN ON AIR CONDITIONER

WHILE COMING OUT OF A REVERED POSITION, I WAS DRIVING FORWARD AND MY BRAKES VIBRATED. THIS CAUSED MY CAR TO STALL WHILE IN THE DRIVING POSITION.

THE AUTO HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS WILL DIM FOR AN ONCOMING CAR AND QUITE OFTEN NOT GO BACK TO BRIGHT FOR QUITE SOME TIME (MINUTES/MILES). WHEN DRIVING DARK, TWO LANE ROADS I HAVE TO TURN MY HEADLIGHTS OFF OF AUTO SETTING, THUS COMPLETELY SWITCHING THEM OFF AS I TWIST THE KNOB FORWARD TO ON INSTEAD OF AUTO. THEN I HAVE TO FLICK THE HIGH BEAMS ON MANUALLY. THIS PROCESS TAKES A FEW SECONDS WHILE DRIVING AT 55+MPH WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE AUTO HIGH BEAM INDICATOR ALSO COMPLETELY DISAPPEARS WHEN THIS ISSUE HAPPENS EVEN THOUGH THE LIGHT IS TOGGLED FORWARD TO THE HIGH BEAM SETTING.

TAKATA RECALL IT WAS A REGULAR WEDNESDAY MORNING DRIVE TO MY OFFICE. I WAS IN HIGHWAY 101 N AND IN THE MOTION OF APPROX 30MPH DUE TO TRAFFIC. SUDDENLY AT AROUND 8AM, DUE TO THE TRAFFIC AHEAD I HAD TO BRAKE MY CAR. MY CAR WAS HALT AT A SAFE DISTANCE FROM THE CAR AHEAD OF ME WHEN I HEARD THE EMERGENCY BEEP OF MY CAR AND WHILE I WAS BEING CONFUSED AS TO WHY THE BEEP WENT OFF BECAUSE MY CAR WAS AT A SAFE DISTANCE OF THE CAR AHEAD OF ME, MY CAR WAS SEVERELY HIT FROM BEHIND.THE IMPACT WAS SO SEVERE TOWARDS THE TRUNK THAT MY CAR WAS DRAGGED FORWARD SUCH THAT THE FRONT OF MY CAR WENT ONTO HIT THE BACK OF THE CAR THAT WAS AT A SAFE DISTANCE FROM MY CAR.THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY SHIFT OF MY CAR FROM THE SECOND LANE WHERE THE IMPACT TOOK PLACE TO THE THIRD LANE OF THE HIGHWAY. MY CAR WAS TOTALED BECAUSE OF THIS ACCIDENT. DURING THIS ACCIDENTAL EVENT MY FRONT CAR AND BACK CAR BOTH AIR BAG DEPLOYED EXCEPT MY CAR AIR BAG DIDN'T GET DEPLOYED AND BECAUSE OF THIS I WENT THROUGH SERIOUS MULTIPLE INJURIES CAUSING SOME LONG TERM BODILY DAMAGES.

THE AUTOMATIC HIGH/LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT SYSTEM INTERMITTENTLY STOPS WORKING. WITH THE SWITCH IN CORRECT POSITION, EVERYTHING IS WORKING AS EXPECTED, THEN THE AUTO INDICATOR ON DASH GOES OFF AND THE LIGHTS STAY ON LOW BEAMS, EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC OR TAIL LIGHTS AHEAD. THIS MAY ONLY BE FOR ABOUT A MINUTE TO SEVERAL MINUTES. WITH THE AUTO INDICATOR OFF, I AM STUCK ON LOW BEAMS. WHEN THE AUTO INDICATOR COMES BACK ON, THE SYSTEM FUNCTIONS NORMALLY. DURING THE TIME THE AUTO INDICATOR IS OFF, I CANNOT GET HIGH BEAMS UNLESS I TURN THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH FROM AUTO TO ON. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE I HAVE TO MANUALLY CHANGE THE SWITCH SETTING AND THE LIGHTS GO OFF WHILE THE SWITCH IS MOVED. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WITH THE LAST TIME BEING 11/5/2018.

CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING. GAVE DTC P0113, P0013, P1603, P1605.

SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING AT RANDOM. DTC'S P0500 AND B2283.

RED BRAKE LIGHT, ABS, VSC, POWER STEERING, AND MIL LIGHTS CAME ON. DTC'S U0129.

ABS, VSC, MIL, MULTIPLE WARNING MESSAGES INCLUDING PRE COLLISION SYSTEM MALFUNCTION, LANE DEPARTURE ALERT MALFUNCTION, FRONT CAMERA UNAVAILABLE, CRUISE CONTROL MALFUNCTION. C1336 ERROR CODE. ZERO POINT CALIBRATION UNDONE. HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES.

CAR HAS SEVERAL ISSUES, ONE IS DEFINITELY THE VEHICLE WARNING LIGHTS IN DASH, THE WARNING LIGHTS POP UP AT DIFFERENT TIMES FOR NO REASON OCCASIONALLY AND DEALERS CAN'T FIND ISSUES, CAR ALSO HAS ISSUES WITH BRAKING SYSTEM. SEVERAL TIMES WENT AROUND CURVES IT ON STOPS AND CAR LOCKED UP AND WENT SIDEWAYS, DEALER SAID TESTED BUT LESS THAN A MILE PUT ON CAR?? CAR DOES NOT ACT LIKE IT HAS NORMAL ABS AND ALMOST GOT IN SEVERAL ACCIDENTS WITH MY KIDS AND GRANDSON BECAUSE OF IT MY STOPPING OR LOCKING UP!! ALSO HAVE ISSUES SINCE I BOUGHT IT WITH RADIO/FEATURES/DISPLAY. THINGS SHOW UP HALF WAY OR IT TURNS OFF AT TIMES AND ALSO CALLS OUT EVEN WHEN UNTOUCHED. WORRIED ABOUT GPS CUTTING OUT WHEN NEEDED TOO. ALSO PLASTIC PART UNDER PASSAGED SIDE GLOVE BOX CONTINUOUSLY FALLS OFF, TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY JUST PUT BACK IN, DIDN'T REPLACE BUT YOU COULD SEE THE BEND WHERE HOOK WAS. AND GAS MILEAGE AND THE RECENT CVT RECALL, THEY UPDATED, NOT REPLACED AFTER I ASKED AND DESCRIBED HOW IT WAS DRIVING, AND STILL HAVING ISSUES BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T REPLACE AFTER I SAID IT WOULDN'T GO OVER A CERTAIN SPEED DURING HIGHWAY TRAVEL OR ROADS REQUIRING OVER 45 MPH. THE DRIVING WARNING THING WHEN YOU GO OVER LINES DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK EITHER, IT DOES 50% OF THE TIME. EXPLAINED THAT TOO BUT NOTHING DONE. VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS CAR!! HAD SINCE 11/2016 AND BARELY DROVE BECAUSE OF ISSUES AND SAFETY CONCERNS. IT OUT HAS 8000 MILES BECAUSE OF IT.

AS OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THE CRUISE CONTROL ON A DOWN HILL SLOPE GOES OUT OF CONTROL. AS I REACH THE TOP OF THE HILL AND START DOWN THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL ACCELERATE TO 4000 RPM AND THE SPEED WILL INCREASE 10-15 MPH OVER WHAT THE CRUISE CONTROL IS SET AT. I MUST TURN OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL TO REGAIN CONTROL OVER THE SPEED. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE PROGRAMMING OF THE CRUISE CONTROL. ON DOWN HILL THE CRUISE CONTROL SHOULD BE REDUCING FUEL TO MAINTAIN SPEED NOT INCREASE IT. I AM A POLICE OFFICER AND THIS CRUISE CONTROL IS A HAZARD.

I'M A TROOPER WITH THE OREGON STATE POLICE. I COVERED A CRASH TODAY WHERE THE MENTIONED VEHICLE BRAKED FOR THE DRIVER, BUT THE BRAKE LIGHTS NEVER ENGAGED. I SPOKE TO ANOTHER TOYOTA OWNER ON SCENE WHO STATED HIS TOYOTA DOES THE SAME WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BRAKING FOR HIM. THE DRIVER BEHIND THIS TOYOTA WAS ABLE TO STOP IN TIME, BUT I CAN SEE THIS LACK OF BRAKE LIGHTS AS A PROBLEM.

I HAVE OWNED MY CAR JUST UNDER A YEAR. I HAVE HAD CONTINUOUS ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION RANDOMLY DOWN SHIFTING AT STOPS AND NOW I GET A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SO I PULL INTO MY CLOSEST AUTO PARTS STORE SINCE IT'S SUNDAY. BOOM 17 CODES FOR EMISSION CONTROL FAILURE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS LESS THAN A YEAR AND IM ALREADY SHOWING TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND EMISSION CONTROL ISSUES. THIS IS NOT A GOOD SIGN FOR FUTURE YEARS TO COME. THERE WAS A RECALL EARLIER THIS YEAR INVOLVING THE TRANSMISSION AND NOW ITS SUDDENLY DISAPPEARED. I FIND IT STRANGE ESPECIALLY SINCE TOYOTA KEEPS DOWNPLAYING EVERYTHING EVERY TIME I GO IN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 3 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT HAD TO ENGAGE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MOJAVE CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP, RAM, TOYOTA OF BARSTOW (631 MAIN ST, BARSTOW, CA 92311, 760-256-3502) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TECHNICIAN ORDERED THE PARTS, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 45,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A DOWNGRADE WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED AND SET TO 65MPH, THE CVT TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO DOWNSHIFT, THE RPM'S INCREASED AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED TO WELL OVER THE SPEED LIMIT. IT FELT LIKE I WAS LOSING CONTROL. I HAD TO ACTIVATE THE BRAKES TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL IN ORDER TO REDUCE MY SPEED TO BELOW THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT. I TRIED IT AGAIN ON ANOTHER DOWNGRADE AND THE SAME SITUATION WAS DUPLICATED. I DID NOT TAKE THE CAR INTO A DEALER SINCE THE ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED TO DEALERSHIPS WITH A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE REAR DRIVER SIDE SEAT FAILED TO LATCH CORRECTLY TO THE FLOORBOARD AND BECAME LOOSE. IN ADDITION, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE SEAT ADJUSTMENT LATCH FRACTURED. HENDRICK TOYOTA SCION WILMINGTON (5640 MARKET ST, WILMINGTON, NC) WAS NOTIFIED, BUT THE FAILURES COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. FURTHERMORE, THE CONTACT HAD TO REPLACE THE VEHICLE BATTERY SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. KENDALL TOYOTA (10943 S DIXIE HWY, MIAMI, FL) WAS ALSO MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 20,000.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT, THE CAR WILL JERK HARD LIKE SOMEONE IS PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR DOWN ALL THE WAY WHILE I HAVE THE BRAKES ENGAGED. THIS HAS HAPPENED ONLY 5 TIMES IN THE PAST 2 YEARS.... BUT IT IS ENOUGH TIMES THAT IS REALLY SCARES MYSELF AND MY KIDS. THE FILTERS (CABIN FILTER?) ALWAYS STINKS LIKE MOLD. MY SON HAS ACUTE ASTHMA AND I HAVE TO CHANGE IT OUT EVERY 2 OR 3 MONTHS TO KEEP HIM FROM HAVING AN ASTHMA ATTACK. THE BLUE TOOTH (HANDS FREE PHONE), THE CALLER ON THE OTHER END CAN NOT HEAR ANYTHING, BUT A WINDY NOISE LIKE I AM IN A WIND TUNNEL--- AND FORGET ABOUT EVEN TALKING ON IT ABOVE SPEEDS OF 40 MPH!! THE ROAD NOISE IS WORSE THAN MY 2002 SEBRING CONVERTIBLE THAT I USED TO HAVE. THE STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT LET ME SCROLL DOWN THE PHONE NUMBERS LIKE MY 2015 COROLLA USED TO LET ME DO. I WILL PROBABLY NEVER PAY FOR A 2017 CORROLLA CASH AGAIN. TOO MANY ISSUES.

I PURCHASED BRAND NEW COROLLA 2017 LAST YEAR AND IT IS OFFCOURSE UNDER WARRANTY AND I HAVE REGULAR SERVICE AS ASKED BY DEALER. THIS EVENING I PLAN WITH MY FAMILY TO GO OUT AND ONCE I GET NEAR TO MY CAR I SAW MY REAR SCREEN IS SHATTERED AND I WONDERED WHAT CAUSE THIS AND FOUND NO IMPACT BY ANYTHING EXTERNAL. I TOOK SOME PICS AND LOOK MORE IN DETAIL AND FOUND THAT IT WAS SHATTERED ITSELF DESPITE IT WAS NOT VERY HOT OR COLD WEATHER. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT IT AS WHAT IT HAVE HAPPENED HAVING MY LITTLE KID IN CAR OR MY WIFE. PAYING REASONABLE COST OF VEHICLE AND GETTING POOR SAFETY MAKE ME THINK OF LOGGING THIS COMPLAINT AND I AM SURE SOMEONE WILL LOOK IN TO IT AND WILL RAISE THIS CONCERN WITH AUTHORITIES AND PUBLIC SAFETY NOTICE TOO WITH COROLLA OWNERS/DRIVERS. ONE MORE THING IT WAS PARKED AS USUAL AND IT WAS PARKED IN PRIVATE AREA.

BOUGHT THE CAR LAST APRIL, IT HAS GIVEN ME NO PROBLEMS, UNTIL NOW. THE CAR START TO LOOSE ACCELERATION WHEN DRIVING ALMOST GOT INTO TWO CAR ACCIDENT ON THE ROAD, CALLED TOYOTA BUT THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME TO INSPECT THE CAR, THE CAR SEEMS TO BE STUCK ON GEARS LIKE IF IT WAS ON NEATRUAL.

THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND WHEN I WENT TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE I FOUND A STRESS CRACK ON THE WIND SHIELD STARTING FROM THE TOP AT THE PASSENGER SIDE AND IT CRACKED TOWARD THE DRIVER SIDE. I FOUND THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE, SO I CONDUCTED SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT A STRESS CRACK HAS OCCURRED IN THE TOYOTA VEHICLES SO THIS WAS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE TOYOTA DEALER, WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND A GLASS SPECIALIST CONDUCTED AN INSPECTION AND HE CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS A MANUFACTURED DEFECT. THIS IS CAUSE FOR CONCERN BECAUSE I WAS TOLD THAT EVEN THOUGH IT WAS DEEMED AS A MANUFACTURED DEFECT THAT THE WINDSHIELD WILL NOT BE REPLACED BY THE DEALER. SO THROUGH NO FAULT OF MY OWN, I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD TO PUT IN AN INSURANCE CLAIM BY A TOYOTA MANAGER. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND AN INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE CONDUCTED ON THESE VEHICLES.

THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE WORKING. I HAVE NEVER NOTICED THE VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY APPLY THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE WHEN APPROACHING ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE ONLY AUTOMATICALLY SLOWS DOWN WHEN I AM USING AUTONOMOUS CRUISE CONTROL.

WAS DRIVING IN MIDDLE LANE OF INTERSTATE 10 WHEN VEHICLE LOST POWER. CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. CAR COASTED FOR APPROX. 5 MINUTES. HAD TO PUT ON EMERGENCY FLASHER, PUT CAR IN PARK TO RESTART ENGINE. CARS COMING UP BEHIND ME DOING 75/80/85 MILES PER HOUR AND HAD TO SWERVE IMMEDIATELY TO KEEP FROM HITTING MY VEHICLE. I HAD A FRIEND IN PASSENGER SEAT AND WE WERE BOTH SCARED FOR OUR LIVES. TO THIS DAY, I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE ON INTERSTATE OR ANY OTHER BUSY HIGHWAY BECAUSE TOYOTA SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM.

1917 TOYOTA COROLLA HAS A DESIGN FLAW. WHEN SUN SHINES ON WINDSHIELD THE DASHBOARD IMAGE APPEARS ON WINDSHIELD AND IMPEDE VISIBILITY. I REPORTED MATTER TO TOYOTA CORPORATION AND A CASE NO. 1800320050 WAS SET UP BY ONE PATTY. HER PHONE NO 1-800-331-4331. I WAS SEND TO LIBERTY TOYOTA THE DEALER BUT THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, AND REFER THE MATTER TO TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL CAUSES THE CAR TO DOWN-SHIFT UNNECESSARILY ON A STRAIGHT DOWNHILL GRADE AND SOMETIMES INCREASES THE SPEED BY AS MUCH AS 8-10 MPH. I FEEL OUT OF CONTROL, WHICH IS DANGEROUS. A TOYOTA TECHNICIAN HAS CONFIRMED THE SAME BEHAVIOR ON ANOTHER 2017 COROLLA. ON ONE OCCASION, ON A FREEWAY DOWNHILL WHERE THE SPEED COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN CONTROLLED BY LETTING OFF THE GAS, THE CAR DOWNSHIFTED TO D3, REVS WENT TO ABOUT 4000, AND THE SPEED INCREASED TO 70MPH - WHEN IT WAS SET TO ABOUT 62. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, ON A RELATIVELY FLAT, STRAIGHT FREEWAY ROAD, IT AGAIN DOWNSHIFTED FOR NO APPARENT REASON, AND THE SPEED AGAIN INCREASED OVER THE SET SPEED (OF COURSE THE REVS WERE HIGHER AGAIN). IN BOTH OF THE ABOVE CASES, THERE WAS NO CAR OR OTHER OBSTACLE IN FRONT OF ME THAT SHOULD CAUSE THE CAR TO SLOW DOWN. I'VE SEEN THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE RESPOND TO A CAR TOO CLOSE SO KNOW HOW THAT FEELS.

BOTH FRONT SEATS ARE LOOSE. I NOTICE MINE IS LOOSE WHEN I MAKE A SUDDEN STOP OR AND GO OF BUMPS AND DIPS. I BEEN TO SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS, BUT ONLY ONE IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM. THE ADVISOR SAID IT WILL TAKE LITERALLY 8 HOURS EACH, I CALLED TOYOTA TO LET THEM KNOW OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT THE MECHANIC FROM THE DEALER WHO NOTICED THE PROBLEM. HE ALSO SAID HE NOTICED THE NOISE I WAS TALKING ABOUT WHEN I GO OVER DIPS AND BUMPS. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BALL JOINT OR BUSHING AND HE SAID NO. THEY NOISE IS JUST THERE

ON OCTOBER 22, 2017, WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP BEHIND 3 OTHER VEHICLES. THE FIRST VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKES, BECAUSE I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP, WAS HIT FROM BEHIND BY A TRUCK. THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD TOWARDS THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, AND I MASHED MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO STOP IT, BUT IT WOULD NOT STOP. MY CAR KEPT ACCELERATING FORWARD, WHILE I WAS FRANTICALLY KEPT MASHING MY BRAKES TO THE FLOOR. THE TOYOTA COROLLA NEVER STOPPED UNTIL I PULLED UP THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR, THAT I PURCHASED ONLY SINCE JUNE OF 2017. I WAS TERRIFIED WHILE MY KEPT GOING, AND WAS INJURED FROM THE CAR HITTING ME FROM BEHIND.

MY CAR WAS STRUCK BY A CAR SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL MAINLY THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR CENTER POST AND REAR DOOR. I THINK THE CAR IS TOTALED. THE PASSENGER REAR WHEEL IS BENT FROM THE IMPACT. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE POLICE OFFICERS THAT WORKED THE ACCIDENT WAS ASTONISHED. HE SAID THEY SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. MY CAR WAS MOVING ABOUT 15MPH THE CAR THAT HIT MINE WAS SPINNING VERY FAST. THE ROADS WERE SLICK AND IT WAS RAINING. THE IMPACT WAS ABOUT 40 TO 60MPH AT LEAST.

THE CRUISE CONTROL IS JUST AWFUL AND HAS BEEN SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW IN DECEMBER 2016. JUST AS SEVERAL OTHERS HAVE DESCRIBED, IT CANNOT CONTROL THE SPEED WHEN GOING DOWN HILL. IT RAISES THE RPM'S TRYING TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN, BUT IT ISN'T VERY EFFECTIVE. I'VE NEVER HAD ANOTHER CAR OR ANOTHER TOYOTA HAVE SUCH POOR SPEED CONTROL. SO MUCH, THAT I DON'T EVEN BOTHER TRYING TO USE IT ANYMORE. A COP ISN'T GOING TO LISTEN TO "MY CRUISE CONTROL WASN'T WORKING RIGHT" IF I GET PULLED OVER. THE BRAKES ALREADY FEEL LIKE THEY ARE WEARING OUT AT 26K MILES. MY 13 CAMRY HAD 30K AND THE BRAKES STILL FELT BRAND NEW. SAME WITH THE 15 SENTRA I HAD. THE SUSPENSION FEELS ROUGHER AND IS STARTING TO MAKE NOISES ALREADY. THIS CAR SHOULDN'T FEEL LIKE IT HAS 60K MILES ON IT ALREADY.

THE VEHICLE DOES THIS 100% OF THE TIME. WHEN ON THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ON THE INTERSTATE THERE ARE OCCASIONS WHERE THE CRUISE WILL GO 14 MPH ABOVE THE SET LIMIT AND THE ENGINE IS AT 4000 RPM OR HIGHER. I TYPICALLY DRIVE AT 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE; THIS IS CAUSING ME TO GO TO OVER 75 MPH WHILE THE SYSTEM IS TRYING TO RECOVER BACK TO 65MPH. I ALSO OWN A 2017 TOYOTA RAV4 AND DRIVE THE SAME ROADS; THE CRUISE IS 'ROCK STEADY'. IT HOLDS AT A CONSTANT 65MPH.

THE HEATER SYSTEM THAT HAS AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL EVERY TIME THAT YOU START THE CAR THE HEATER SYSTEM WILL BRING IN THE OUTSIDE COLD AIR INSTEAD OF RECIRCULATED AIR NOW MY WIFE DOES NOT LIKE THIS ONE BIT I TOOK THE WIFES CAR IN FOR SERVICE AT BRENT BROWN TOYOTA ON 01-17-2018 I TOLD THE SERVICE DEPT. ABOUT THE HEATER SYSTEM PROBLEM AND I FELT THAT I WAS GIVEN THE RUNAROUND AND I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THATS THE WAY IS IS!!!! ANY TIME YOU MAKE ANY HEATER CHANGES THE HEATER SYSTEM CAN BE ON RECIRCULATED AIR AND WILL CHANGE OVER ON ITS OWN TO THE COLD OUTSIDE AIR. WHILE DRIVING ANY WHERE. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME.

MOTOR, POWER TRAIN...

I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW IN APRIL OF 2017 AND HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS, TIRES ARE ALWAYS FLAT, STEERING DOESN'T WORK RIGHT, WHEN I TURN MY CAR ON IT SOUNDS REALLY LOUD. BROUGHT IT TOYOTA 10 TIMES AND THEY DID ANYTHING, THERE IS CONSTANT SQUEAK NOISE AND MY ROOF FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BLOW OFF WHEN I AM ON THE INTERSTATE. GAS MILEAGE SUCKS TOYOTA STATES I GOT BAD GAS SO THEY FLUSHED IT OUT BUT STILL HEAR THAT LOUD NOISE. MY TIRES I HAVE TO FILL UP ONCE A WEEK BUT THEY SAY THEY ARE FINE. EVERYTHING IN THIS CAR IS CHEAP AND I HATE IT. THEY CHARGED ME 26 GRAND FOR A 17 THOUSAND CAR WITHOUT ME EVER KNOWING BRANDON TOYOTA IS THE WORST. SPOKE TO THE GENERAL MANAGER AND SERVICE MANAGER NOTHING IS EVER TAKEN CARE OF

ON THE ROAD IN PUERTO RICO THE TRACTION AND PRE COLLISION SYSTEM IS NOT FUNCTION NORMALLY AND HAVE A COLLISION AND THE SRS CURTAIN AIRBAG CRASCHED FOR BECAUE OF THE COLLISION AND THE TRANSMISION HAVE A SOUND...
