2018 Toyota Corolla complaints

TODAY AT APPROXIMATELY 4PM NOV 19, 2019, I PARKED MY CAR IN A PARKING LOT AND TURNED OFF THE MOTOR, PUT IT IN PARK AND WHEN I PULLED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE INTO PLACE THE CAR LUNGED BACKWARD A LITTLE BUT STOPPED AS SOON AS THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ENGAGED. I FILED A REPORT BACK ON OCTOBER 20, 2019, PLEASE REFER TO CASE #11271148. I AM BRINGING THE CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ON SATURDAY, NOV 23, 2019, SO IT CAN BE CHECKED OUT AS TO WHY THE CAR IS JERKING WHEN IN PARK. I WANT TO REGISTER THIS COMPLAINT AS WELL. I JUST PICKED THE CAR UP FROM THE AUTOBODY SHOP FROM THE REPAIRS IT HAD DONE BECAUSE OF THE INCIDENT ON OCT 20, 2019. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR.

ON SUNDAY, OCTOBER 20, 2019, APPROXIMATELY 3:10 PM I GOT INTO MY 2018 TOYOTA COROLLA, THE CAR WAS STATIONARY IN PARK, AND WAS NOT RUNNING ON A FLAT SURFACE. I REALIZED I FORGOT MY WALLET SO I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND LEFT THE DRIVER'S DOOR OPEN. I RETRIEVED MY WALLET WITHIN 1 MINUTE AND WHEN I CAME OUT MY CAR WAS ROLLING SLOWLY ON THE FLAT DRIVEWAY WHERE I PARK EVERY DAY. I TRIED TO GRAB THE DOOR HANDLE TO SEE IF I COULD JUMP IN THE CAR TO STOP IT BUT IT PICKED UP SPEED AND WENT DOWN A SLIGHT INCLINE ACROSS THE YARD. THE DOOR HIT A TREE AND THEN THE CAR LANDED IN BUSHES. MY NEIGHBORS CAME RUNNING OVER BECAUSE THEY SAW THE ENTIRE INCIDENT. I WAS ABLE TO GET INTO THE CAR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND I STARTED THE CAR'S ENGINE SINCE IT WAS NEVER TURNED ON AND DROVE IT OUT OF THE BUSHES BACK ONTO THE FLAT DRIVEWAY. THE CAR ROLLED WHILE THE GEAR WAS IN PARK AND WAS NOT RUNNING. EVERYONE IS NOT SURE WHY THAT WOULD HAPPEN. I'M ASKING TO SEE IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION OR THE GEAR SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR. I CALLED MY INSURANCE THEY FILED A CLAIM BUT STATED IT WAS VERY STRANGE FOR THE CAR TO HAVE ROLLED AND TOLD ME TO FIND OUT IF THERE WAS A RECALL, ALSO THE ADJUSTER SAID IT WAS VERY STRANGE AS WELL FOR THE CAR TO ROLL IN PARK AND NOT RUNNING. THEY SUGGESTED IT MAY BE SOMETHING WITH THE COMPUTER SYSTEM.

MY CAR WAS DRIVING FINE FOR MONTHS, THEN OUT OF NOWHERE IT HAD A FUNNY SMELL INSIDE SO I PULLED OVER AND PARKED IT. WHEN I TRIED TO START IT UP AGAIN I DROVE 1 MINUTE DOWN THE STREET AND SHUT OFF. I WAS TOLD THAT MY ENGINE LOCKED UP BY TOYOTA, BUT IT WAS NOT THEIR FAULT OR MINES. BUT THAT I HAVE TO PAY TO FIX IT. THE CAR IS 2018 LESS THAN 25,000 MILES.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WHEN DARK OUTSIDE AUTO HIGH BEAMS DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. WHEN PASSING A ONCOMING CAR WITH BRIGHTER THAN NORMAL HEADLIGHTS THE AUTO HIGH BEAMS DISENGAGE AND WILL NOT TURN ON FOR A VARYING AMOUNT OF TIME. THIS HAPPENS BOTH ON CITY STREETS, HIGHWAY, AND COUNTRY ROADS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE FACT OF AN INCREASED RISK OF COLLISION DUE TOO REDUCED VISIBILITY. IT ALSO ENHANCES THE RISK OF COLLISION WITH ANIMALS AT NIGHT ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING ON SECLUDED COUNTRY ROADS. WHEN CAR WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA DEALER I WAS GIVEN MULTIPLE EXCUSES ON WHY IT WAS NOT WORKING. THEY KEPT THE CAR OVERNIGHT AND SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. WHEN I SHOWED VIDEOS DEMONSTRATING THE PROBLEM AND SCENARIO OF WHEN IT HAPPENS THEY COULD NOT GIVE AN EXPLANATION ON WHY THEY DID NOT ENGAGE IN VARIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES.

I WAS TRYING TO BACK UP IN AREA WITH A LOT OF YOUNG CHILDREN AROUND. WHEN I PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE AND LOOKED AT THE CAMERA SCREEN, IT HAD COMPLETELY DIED. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET THE SCREEN TO WORK SINCE. IT DOES NOT DO ANY GOOD FOR THE NHTSA TO REQUIRE BACK UP CAMERA SYSTEMS IF THEY FAIL AFTER A FEW MONTHS. THE SAFETY BENEFIT OF REQUIRING A SYSTEM ON 2018 VEHICLES IF THE SYSTEM FAILS COMPLETELY BEFORE THE END OF 2019 IS NOT GOOD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2018 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHEN THE CONTACT PLACED HER VEHICLE INTO PARK, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE TACHOMETER LEVEL INCREASED. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH FORCE USING BOTH FEET, BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND AND CRASHED INTO THE WALL OF A CONVENIENT STORE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A COLLISION LOT WHERE IT WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 1908261236. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 15,438.

I HAD AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAGS DO NOT DEPLOYED, I ASKED AT KENDALL TOYOTA COLLISION CENTER TO REVIEW WHAT IS THE POSSIBLE CAUSE, THEY DO NOT RESPONSE YET.

TAMARA INFLATOR. THE CRUISE CONTROL IN MY 2018 TOYOTA COROLLA HAS BEEN MESSED UP EVER SINCE I BOUGHT MY CAR LAST YEAR.I TOLD THE DEALER SHIP ABOUT IT THEY CLAIMED THEY ADJUSTED IT BUT IT STILL INCREASES MY SPEED GOING DOWN HILL AND I'VE GOT A SPEEDING TICKET BECAUSE OF IT.MY DAUGHTER ALSO CALLED TOYOTA MAIN HEAD QUARTERS BUT THEY SAID IF I WANTED IT FIX I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF MY POCKET..I WILL SET MY CRUISE CONTROL AT 60 ON THE HWY IF I GO DOWN A SMALL. HILL MY RPM AND SPEED GO UP.

MY CAR IS GOING TO HIS SECOND REPAIR OF PAINT FIRST WAS PAINT BUBLING AMD NOW PAINT PEELING OFF 🙄. IT'S REALLY DISCOMFORT HAVE A CAR FROM BRAND NEW AND IS GOING TO BE PAINT 🙄

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM WAS MALFUNCTIONING. IN TRAFFIC, WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS FLOORED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS RELEASED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE PAST 5 MPH, WHICH PRESENTED THE RISK OF A POTENTIAL CRASH. PALMER'S TOYOTA (470 SCHILLINGER RD S, MOBILE, AL 36695, (251) 639-0800) WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT NEEDED TO BE SCHEDULED TO TEST DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 700. *BF *AS

4/20/19, THE DRIVER INVOLVED WITH THIS VEHICLE LOST CONTROL AND HIT A CURB AT 25 MILE PER HOUR, WELL WITHIN THE SPEED LIMIT AT 45 MPH. AFTER HITTING THE CURB, THE VEHICLE SWERVED INTO A TREE. THE FRONT END OF VEHICLE HIT THE TREE AND THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF VEHICLE WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR. THIS IS CONSIDERED A "TOTAL LOST." THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH FRONT AND SIDE AIRBAGS, BUT SURPRISINGLY NONE WAS DEPLOYED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE AND POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER (STONE MOUNTAIN TOYOTA, 4400 STONE MOUNTAIN HWY, MELBOURNE, GA) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,600.

THE 2018 TOYOTA COROLLA CRUISE CONTROL IS DANGEROUS. WHEN CRUISE CONTROL IS ON, GOING DOWN A SLIGHT HILL, THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS BUT THROTTLE DOES NOT REDUCE CAUSING CAR TO INCREASE SPEED 10-15 MPH WITH HIGH RPMS. AT BOTTOM OF INCLINE TRANSMISSION GOES TO HIGHER GEAR AND BRAKES ARE APPLIED VERY HARD CAUSING VEHICLE TO SUDDENLY AND VIOLENTLY SLOWDOWN 15-20 MPH. IN THIS SITUATION IF CRUISE CONTROL IS NOT DISENGAGED THE CAR WILL GO WELL OVER THE SPEED LIMIT AND TO AN UNSAFE SPEED FOR THE ROADWAY. THE BRAKING ACTION IS SO SUDDEN AND VIOLENT IT'S DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND HAS SEVERAL TIMES IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS CAUSED ME TO VERY NEARLY GET REAR ENDED BY A VEHICLE BEHIND ME WHICH WAS NOT ORIGINALLY FOLLOWING TOO CLOSE. AS THE DANGEROUS CRUISE CONTROL STARTS ITS INCREASE IN SPEED THE VEHICLES BEHIND MAY INCREASE THEIR SPEED AND AS THEY ARE INCREASING SPEED MY CAR CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM JAMS ON THE BRAKES AND CAUSE THE FOLLOWING CAR TO COME DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO COLLISION. AS WELL THE OTHER DRIVER HAS ON AT LEAST ONE OCCASIONS BECAME ANGRY STARTED ROAD RAGING THINKING I HAD PURPOSELY BRAKE CHECKED. THE 2018 TOYOTA COROLLA CRUISE CONTROL IS DANGEROUS, COULD CERTAINLY BE DEADLY BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE AND FURTHER IS VIRTUALLY UNUSABLE AS A PURCHASED FEATURE ON ANYTHING BUT A FLAT ROAD. I'VE DRIVEN OVER 20 CARS IN MY LIFE AND AM VERY EXPERIENCED WITH CRUISE CONTROLS IN 6 DIFFERENT MANUFACTURERS CARS. THE CRUISE CONTROL ON MY 2018 TOYOTA COROLLA COULD CAUSE INJURY, LAWSUIT,

THEY ASKED ME TO COME TO TOYOTA OF DALLAS TO FILL OUT AN "UNINTENDED ACCELERATION" UA REPORT (SEE BELOW). THE TECHNICIAN BECAME VERY ANGRY ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND TOLD ME THAT THE MANUFACTURER CREATED THE CAR THIS WAY. UNDER ALMOST ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, (GOING AROUND A SHARP CURVE, HEAVY TRAFFIC, ANY DOWNHILL OR UPHILL, WEATHER CONDITIONS, OR FOG) WHEN USING THE CRUISE CONTROL THE CAR WILL TRY TO SLOW IT SELF DOWN FROM SET SPEED AT 65 MPH, BY DROPPING INTO A LOWER GEAR, RAMPING UP THE RPM'S TO 5000 FORCING THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE 10 TO 15 MILES OVER THE SET SPEED WHICH WAS SET AT 65 MPH. IN THIS CASE, THE BRAKES WILL NOT STOP THIS ACCELERATION WHILE THE VEHICLE IS AMPING UPWARD. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION IS TO TURN OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL. HIGHWAY DRIVING FROM CARROLLTON, TEXAS TO WACO, TEXAS ON A CLEAR DAY. MY COMPANY HAS A POLICY THAT COMPANY VEHICLES SHOULD NOT EXCEED 70 MPH. IT IS A FIREABLE OFFENCE.

I CAN'T KEEP THE ICE BUILDUP OFF MY BACK TIRES DUE TO A PIECE OF PLASTIC HOLDING IT UP UNDER THE WHEEL WELLS. IT'S WEARING MY TIRES OUT FASTER. I HAVE EVEN PRESSURE WASHED IT AND STILL CAN'T GET THE ICE TO COME OUT! THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE MY WHEEL WELLS TO RUST OUT FASTER BY HOLDING IT UNDER MY WELLS. I HAVE ANOTHER COROLLA AND IT DOESN'T HAVE THAT PLASTIC IN THE FRONT PART OF THE REAR TIES!

PASSENGER REAR SEAT BELT SNAPPED IN HALF AND RIPPED UP THE MIDDLE OF THE BELT. HALF OF THE SEAT BELT IS HANGING THERE STILL CONNECTED. THIS IS WERE MY 7 YEAR OLD SITS. I REPORTED THIS TO TOYOTA AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT COVER IT THE COST IS OVER $400.00 AND THE BELT THE GUESS MUST HAVE BEEN STUCK OF GRABBED IN THE DOOR IN THE DOOR AND THAT MAKES IT EVEN MORE DEFECTIVE TO HAVE THE DOOR LATCH CLOSE TO THE BELT. I BELIEVE THE BELT IS DEFECTIVE AS THERE ARE SEVERAL SMALL LINES ON THE OTHER SIDE I HAVE HAD 5 TOYOTA'S AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM! SUN TOYOTA NEW PORT RICHEY FLORIDA.

IN PAST TOYOTA HAD A RECALL OF REAR PASSENGER SEAT BELTS OF 2.9 MILLION TOYOTA'S. I JUST NOTICED ON MY BRAND NEW TOYOTA COROLLA THAT MY 7 YEAR OLD SPECIAL NEEDS DAUGHTER , IS TORN AND RIPPED. SUN TOYOTA SAID IT WAS BECASUE THE BELT GOT CAUGHT IN THE DOOR. I HAVE A BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY AND NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE WITH MY PAST 4 TOYOTA. THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE BELT AND WERE THE DOOR CAN CLOSE IN THE BELT. A CHILD CANNOT DO THIS DAMAGE. I AM REQUESTING THEY FIX IT FREE OF CHARGE . THERE ARE ALSO THIN SLICES OF THE STRAP ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TORN BELT.

HIT A DEER AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, FRONT END OF CAR WAS DESTROYED, WAS A TOTAL LOSS. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT ALL

THE RPM OF THE CAR JUMPS UPTO 4000 WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SLOW THE CAR ON DOWN HILLS. TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS ARE REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE BUT THERE ARE CASES MANY PEOPLE GOT THEIR CAR FIXED OR EXCHANGED. THIS PROVES THE ISSUE WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL. THE IDEAL INTENT OF USING THE CRUISE CONTROL IS TO SAVE GAS MILEAGE AND EFFORT TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR LONG DISTANCES. I HAVE TO TRAVEL LONG DISTANCES TO WORK ON DAILY BASIS. I FEEL VERY UNCOMFORTABLE AND UNSAFE DRIVING THE CAR ON CRUISE. TOYOTA SHOULD ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM TO SAVE THE TRUST OF THE CUSTOMERS. THIS HAPPENS CONSISTENTLY. I AM TRYING TO CONTACT TOYOTA FOR THE ISSUE. I HOPE TO RECEIVE A POSITIVE RESPONSE.

MY DAUGHTER WAS INVOLVED IN A REAR END COLLISION WITH ANOTHER CAR THAT ABRUPTLY STOPPED TO TURN. SHE WAS ONLY GOING 30 MPH AND HYDO-PLANNED INTO THE CAR AS A RESULT OF THE RAINY CONDITIONS. THERE WAS MINIMAL DAMAGE DONE TO THE VEHICLE THAT SHE HIT BUT HER CAR SUSTAINED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END WHICH CAUSED FRAME DAMAGE. THE FRONT END OF THE CAR WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED BUT NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED DESPITE DIRECT DAMAGE TO COLLIDING INTO THE STOPPED VEHICLE.

THIS VEHICLE IDLENED AT THE END OF THE STREET IN FROM OF APARTMENT BUILDING PARKING GARAGE AND CONFINED TO DISPOSE OF GARBAGE OUT OF THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR FOR OVER 30 MINUTES. THE DRIVER THEN BACKED UP AND DROVE AWAY LEAVING A MASSIVE PILE OF TRASH.

DOOR HANDLE DRIVER SIDE IS DIFFICULT TO OPEN AND IS DIFFICULT TO CLOSE WHEN INSIDE VEHICLE. I CAN NOT CLOSE DOOR ON DRIVER SIDE CORRECTLY OR IS STILL WILL NOT HOLD OR LOCK. I WILL TAKE VEHICLE TO AMIGO BODY SHOP FOR REPAIR. I WANT TO KNOW IF REPAIR IS WARRANTIED?

THIS WILL PROBABLY NOT MAKE THE CUT FOR BIG PROBLEMS, BUT I'M SENDING IT ANYWAY SINCE A GENERAL RUE OR ADVISORY ON DASH REFLECTIVITY MIGHT. THE 2018 COROLLA TACHOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER HAVE A BRIGHTLY CHROMED BEVEL WITH A PARABOLIC CURVE OF ABOUT 1/4 INCH ALL AROUND THE DIAL THAT CAPTURES THE SUN FROM ALMOST ANY ANGLE AND REFLECTS IT BACK INTO THE DRIVER'S EYE. LIKE ANY GOOD PARABOLA. DO YOUNG ENGINEERS NOT KNOW THIS KIND OF BASIC GEOMETRY? DO THEY NOT KNOW WE LOOKED AT THIS IN THE 50'S AND 60'S? AS I WAS DRIVING HOME THURSDAY AND THE SUN WAS MODERATELY LOW AT ABOUT 530 PM, I STARTED NOTICING ABOUT A HALF DOZEN OF THOSE PURPLE YELLOW SUNBLIND SPOTS IN MY VISION. THEY WERE IN VARIOUS STATES OF STRENGTH AND FADE. I DROVE WITH MY HAND BLOCKING THE SUN FOR THE NEXT 15 MINUTES. BECAUSE OF THE SHAPE OF THE CHROMED TRIM--PERFECT FOR THE COLLECTION OF LIGHT--I HAD TO HOLD MY HAND VERY CLOSE TO THE SPEEDOMETER TO BLOCK THE STRONG, FOCUSED REFLECTION OF THE SUN. WAY MORE THAN "GLARE." VERY PERSISTENT REGARDLESS OF SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN DIRECTION.

GRINDING NOISE WHEN BRAKING AND REVERSING IN CAR UNDER 25 MILES ON ODOMETER. HAVE GONE TO SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS AND HAVE BEEN TLDTHAT I AM BRAKING TOO HARD (SERIOUSLY IN A NEW CAR??) & WINDOW PAEENGER SIDE FRONT MAKES NOISE WHILE GOING UP AND DOWN THEY SAID THEY LUBRICATED IT BUT NOW ITS MAKING MORE NOISE..

IN ADDITION, WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR, THE FRONT TIRE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WAS ALSO ALMOST FLAT, THEREFORE, CAUSING THE CAR TO KEEP PULLING TO ONE SIDE WHILE DRIVING.

2018 TOYOTA COROLLA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO INAUDIBLE LANE DEPARTURE ASSIST. *LD *JS

WHEN USING THE RADAR CONTROLLED CRUISE CONTROL, THE ENGINE WILL SOMETIMES REV TO OVER 4000 RPM. A TOYOTA FIELD ENGINEER TOLD ME THAT THIS IS ENGINE BRAKING, BUT THIS OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS ON A LEVEL STRETCH OF HIGHWAY AT THE SET SPEED AND NO OTHER UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCES. THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM OCCURS WITH MY WIFE'S 2017 COROLLA. I'VE READ A NUMBER OF COMMENTS ON THE TOYOTA OWNERS WEBSITE (HTTPS://WWW.TOYOTA.COM/OWNERS/COMMUNITY/ASK-AN-OWNER/QUESTION-DETAILS/ID/62752030). SOME HAVE EVEN SAID THEIR CARS SPEED UP WHEN THIS PHENOMENON HAPPENS. THIS HAS HAPPENED CONSISTENTLY EVERY TIME I'VE USED THE CRUISE CONTROL SINCE I TOOK DELIVERY OF THE CAR ON 12/1/2017, AND IT HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES PER TRIP. THE DATE I ENTERED BELOW IN THIS FORM WAS ONLY THE LATEST OCCURRENCE.

BLIND SPOT CAN NOT SEE ON COMING MOVING VEHICLES WHEN BACKING IN A PARKING SPACE AND BACKING OUT, HIGHLY POTENTIAL ACCIDENT DESIGN , OF THE REAR SEAT HEAD REST TOO TALL BLOCKING OVER HALF THE HEIGHT OF THE REAR GLASS, HUGE BLIND SPOT FEEL TO TENSE TO TRY TO PARK IT BY BACKING IN.,AND BACK OUT OF PARKING SPACE. HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR ANOTHER GOOD DEFENSIVE DRIVER THE CAR WOULD HAVE HIT BE, ONLY OWNED THIS CAR LESS THAN A MONTH AND TRIED TO GET DEALER SHIP TO LET ME HAVE A DIFFERENT DESIGNED CAR AND THEY REFUSED , ,CALLING INSURANCE COMPANY AND TALK TO THEM AND SEE IF I SHOULD CONTINUE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, IF THEY SAY NO THEN I'M TELLING TOYOTA TO COME AND GET IT.I'M NOT PAYING 30,000 FOR AN UNSAFE CAR.TO DRIVE.

THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM IS DESIGNED SO THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTS WHEN THE SYSTEM IS ENGAGED AND GOING DOWN HILLS. THIS PUTS MUCH MORE WEAR AND TEAR ON BOTH THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. IN ADDITION TO THE DOWN SHIFT THE RPM GOES TO OVER 4000 IN AN ATTEMPT TO SLOW THE CAR. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY AND DRASTICALLY REDUCES GAS MILEAGE, WHICH IS EXACTLY OPPOSITE OF THE ORIGINAL INTENT OF THE CRUISE CONTROL WHICH WAS BETTER GAS MILEAGE AND PEACE OF MIND TO NOT SPEED. THE SPEED DOES GO UP 5 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THIS HAPPENS. BOTTOM LINE IS THE ENGINEERS AND THEIR BOSSES WHO APPROVED THIS SYSTEM ARE ALL IDIOTS AND SHOULD BE FIRED. YOU WOULD ASSUME YOU WOULD GET BETTER GAS MILEAGE WHEN GOING DOWN HILL WHEN THE ENGINE WOULD DISENGAGE BECAUSE YOU WOULD NEED LESS POWER AND NOT MORE TO MAINTAIN A CERTAIN SPEED. I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER THE CRUISE CONTROL IS DESIGNED TO OPERATE BY GEARING DOWN, I TOLD HIM NO MANUFACTURE IS THAT STUPID.HE THEN PROVED ME WRONG BY SHOWING ME THE MANUAL PROVING TOYOTA IS THAT STUPID.I WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED THIS CAR HAD I KNOWN THIS FEATURE WAS DESIGNED IN THIS WAY. WHO KNOWS WHAT OTHER SYSTEMS IN THIS COROLLA ARE DESIGNED IN SUCH A STUPID MANNER. I WILL CERTAINLY NEVER BUY ANOTHER AUTO FROM THIS COMPANY.
