If raining you stop in red light the engine is shut off need to wait about 10 minutes and start again why they no recall this problem that dangerous
Jun 04, 2025
As I stopped at the stoplight the vehicle enter the automatic shut off pause as it should when the brake is firmly pressed. when I released the brake the engine did not restart. instead the following message showed on the vehicle information center in the dash: ENGINE STOPPED, STEERING POWER LOW. then it prompted me to restart the car. I have to put the car in PARK, depress the brake and press my start button to restart the car. This happen in an intersection! This is the third time and it seems it happens in wet conditions. to temporarily remedy the problem I have deactivated the gas saving automatic engine stop. The manufacturer and dealer have been contacted.

The car shuts off completely when I brake at a stop light. When I lifted off my foot from the brake pedal it didn't restart. It had completely shut off and I had to put the car in park and restart in order to drive. This is dangerous as when the light turned green I could not move and cars behind me are already in drive. This incident has happened 5 times and I took the car into Toyota and they said they could not diagnose the code.

SAFETY HAZARD! TAILLIGHTS ARE POORLY DESIGNED: NOT CLEARLY VISABLE AT NIGHT(BAD WEATHER) FOR THE VEHICLES BEHIND. I WAS ALMOST REARENDED AT NIGHT BECAUSE OF THIS; AS THE PERSON BEHIND ME, TOLD ME. THEY NEED TO BE ON THE BACK OF VEHICLE FOR PROPER VISUALIZATION FOR VEHICLE BEHIND. YOU CAN ONLY SEE THE BACK TAILIGHTS AT NIGHT IF YOUR ON THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THAT IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR MOTORISTS.

The contact owns a 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed at night, the driver’s side headlight failed to provide adequate illumination. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the driver’s side headlight assembly. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 6.

Dark spots on the road with the LED headlights on low beam. This is very distracting and causes me to focus on the dark spots. Very dangerous when driving on winding roads at night. A lot of deer on and on the side of the rural roads and the dark spots take my focus away.

REAR TRUNK AREA LIGHT NOT BRIGHT.
Jun 22, 2024
There is an issue with the head lights. There are shadows in the lenses or covers that create a distraction while you are driving. I was told that Toyota did it not to have lights go into on coming cars but they make it hard for the driver to see also because it makes it look like something is in the road. I feel that they should change this cause it's a not to good of a design and it could cause a accident. Thanks

On [XXX], and again on [XXX], vehicle began beeping while driving on the freeway and flashing the following warning messages: 1) 12-Volt Battery Charging - System Malfunction - Stop in a Safe Place - See Owner's Manual 2) AWD System Malfunction - 2WD Mode Engaged - Visit your Dealer 3) Voltage Abnormality - Steering Power Low - Visit Your Dealer Vehicle shut down and lost power steering while driving on the freeway. My safety was put at risk as I could not easily pull my car over to a safe place due to the car losing power, not turning back on, and power steering turning off. This may have resulted in severe injury or death if I had not been able to eventually pull over. Additionally, the safety of others was put at risk as we were travelling at freeway-level speed, which may have resulted in other vehicles being unable to stop, and consequently crash, if my car had stayed in the freeway lane. Both times I had the vehicle towed to Beaverton Toyota Dealership (Address: 4300 SW Murray Blvd, Beaverton, OR 97005 / Phone: (503) 626-7200) to be inspected and serviced. The first time I was told it was a bad battery cell, which was replaced on 07/26/25. However, the same situation happened after this replacement on 07/27/25. Currently, vehicle is at Beaverton Toyota dealership being inspected. Vehicle was purchased at Wilsonville Toyota (Address: 9155 Boeckman Rd, Wilsonville, OR 97070 / Phone: (503) 582-9040).

When driving to work it’s the 4 times the 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross turns on the engine light and starts beeping with the power steering low message and shuts down and I am unable to continue driving I have taken it 4 times to Toyota dealership with them continue to say no issue is found. For me to get the vehicle working again I have to completely turn it off lock it and then unlock it and turn it back on. This is unacceptable and a big hazard issue because it does this in the middle of traffic without any indication.

I bought this car less than a month ago! I pulled out of a parking lot and was waiting to turn left when my car suddenly shut off with a loud alarm sound. The check engine light came on as well as a steering pressure light. The dashboard read to press the brake firmly into the ground to start the car..it did not start. I was able to put the car in park and after 3 attempts get the car to start. I was in rush hour traffic with many cars around and behind me honking their horns and yelling all while I was stuck. There was no warning it simply just shut off in the middle of traffic. I am now waiting for it to be inspected by the service department where I purchased it from.

My vehicle was stopped at a stoplight with the start stop engine feature engaged. I had my windshield wipers on, and it was raining heavily, when suddenly that car turned completely off and started emitting a loud beep. There was a power steering error on my dash and the wheel locked itself completely, the car would not restart at all. There was a message on my dash to firmly press the brake, and the car would restart, but pressing the brake did nothing. I was stuck in the middle of an intersection in a vehicle that is less than two months old in the middle of traffic, and live in a city, where it rains continuously for several months out of the year. Toyota is aware of this issue, but there aren't any fixes available for a vehicle that will turn itself off when using the windshield wipers while it's raining.

While driving home, it was raining and had wipers going. I'd never driven in the rain yet since purchasing. I was at a stop light, and the auto start/stop was activated so the car was stopped. When I tried to drive upon the light turning green the car turned off and I got a message that said "engine stopped. Steering power low". Then I got another message saying "press brake firmly to restart engine" which didn't work. I had to switch to park. Turn it off and then turn it back on in order to get moving again.

I was at a red light with my windshield wipers on. I then heard several warning beeps with messages stating "steering power low", battery low, and then the steering locked. I tried to turn the wheel after the last message came up but the steering wheel was locked. I couldn’t accelerate. I had to park the car and turn it off and on again. This has happened twice now and Toyota says it is “fine”.

The contact owns a 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross. The contact stated while the vehicle was idling at a traffic light, the vehicle stalled. The messages "Engine Shut Off" and "Steering Power Low" were displayed, and the check engine warning light and other unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that she turned off and restarted the vehicle, and the messages and warning lights were turned off. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the failure needed to be duplicated to diagnose the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 4,600.

I was in New York taking my boyfriend to work and was at a red light and out of nowhere the car started to beep and said the power steering was low and to press the brake to restart, nothing happened when I pressed the brake and then I received a message saying the engine turned off, the traffic light turned green and I had to put my car in neutral to park it and turn it off. I looked up what it could be for my car model and apparently A LOT of people are having this issue when the wipers are on and auto on/off is on as well which was my scenario this morning. This is a huge issue and needs to be addressed immediately by Toyota!!!

My engine has shut off 4 times while I am stopped at a red light. Every singe time I have taken it to the dealership for them to tell me they cant recreate the problem and that there are no codes showing up. I have taken videos and photos while the engine is shut off. The dealership did not seem to care. An engine shutting off in the middle of the drive is a serious safety concern and yet nothing is done to address this? The error message that keeps popping up is "Engine stopped, Steering power Low" and "Engine Stopped Press Brake Firmly to Restart" and if you press the break firmly it does not restart. You have to physically put the car on park, and press the start button to restart the engine. It seems to be a common problem when the windshield wipers are on, however, 3 out of 4 times the engine has stopped, my wipers were not on.

My 2023 Corolla cross XLE, at least 5 times since ownership, has experienced a complete engine shut off at stop lights when driving in the rain with windshield wipers on. A message appears on the driver display saying that the engine shut off and the brake needs to be pressed hard and start button must be pushed to start the engine again. It seems to only occur in association with the engine stop/start capability that is engaged when the vehicle comes to a complete stop and the break pedal is pushed extra to engage the engine. This may sound like the normal start/stop function to save fuel, but it is not. Normally, the capability turns the engine back on upon release of the brake pedal. This issue is very different, in that the engine shut down is not normal, and requires in real time traffic, returning the vehicle to park and starting it up again before putting the gear in drive again. This is very dangerous in traffic and needs a recall fix as soon as possible.

Vehicle stalled while driving with both front and rear wind shield wipers on. It was raining when this occurred. We were in heavy traffic and vehicle would not move, putting us at risk. The dealer states that they are unaware of this failure occurring in the 2023 corolla cross model. The failure happened suddenly without any type of warning.

It was a snow/ rain day I had my wipers on and was stopped at a traffic light when my engine stopped and I got a message on my dashboard “ engine stopped power steering low”. This vehicle is new with less than 5000 miles. I had to turn off the engine and restart the car in the middle of traffic.
Jan 09, 2024
I have now had two separate instances where the start / stop system in my car led to the engine stalling out at a stoplight, which was very dangerous. The car displayed messages to press the brake firmly to restart engine, which did not work either time, and that power steering would be low. Both times, I had to put the car in park and complete restart the car. Please note that unlike other reports, it was not raining nor were the windshield wipers activated during either instance.

While stopped at a stop light, the automatic on/off initiated as usual. However, twice in the past 24 hours the engine has stopped and the driver display provided a message stating “engine stopped” and prompting me to depress the brake harder to start the engine—this action did not restart the vehicle and it had to be put in parked and fully turned off and on to restart both times. The display also stated “steering power low” when the engine stopped message displayed.

While driving in the rain with my windshield wipers on, my car suddenly stopped and the message on the car said “engine stopping, steering slowly” and after that it said “press on brakes slowly, engine stopping , steering slowly” and then it started to cut off. I forcibly put it in park and then the engine came back on and the car started to drive fine. An hour later, I turned my car back on and started driving and my screen went black. I turned the car off and turned it back on and it started working again. I think it could be an electrical issue but I don’t know for sure. I bought this car used with a little over 30k miles on it.

I was driving during the rain with the wipers on (intermittent) and the auto start/stop feature engaged. I got to a red light and stopped. I lifted my foot off the brake to press the accelerator and then the car didn't restart. The instrument panel then said low steering power and another message about the brake. A loud tone was continuously emitted. I pressed the brake and put the car in park and was able to restart it. I was scared because traffic behind me was honking for me to proceed and I was not able to at first.

I was driving in the pouring rain with intermittent wipers on in bumper to bumper traffic and stopped at a red light. Car shut off, with traffic behind me and I had to put hazard lights on. Dashboard messages appeared - Low steering power light and then said to press brake and auto start button. Luckily it restarted. Second time this has happened as I had 500 miles and thought I didn't know how to operate the car since it was new. This time 2,400 miles and there was no doubt the fear I experienced was an electrical issue. Drove to Northshore Toyota, who advised no codes were stored and couldn't duplicate the issue. I contacted Toyota Brand Engagement with case # [XXX] and [XXX]. Northshore Toyota contacted field technician and said to reprogram the main computer. They will do this today. If it doesn't fix the issue, after 3 times of the dealer trying to fix it, I can go to arbitration with Toyota. Car is at dealer so I do not have a document to upload.

When stopped at a red light, the car started beeping, the check engine light turned on, "steering power low" was displayed, the brake pedal could not be pushed in, and the steering wheel was locked. After putting the car into park and pressing the engine start/stop button, the beeping stopped and the car was able to drive again. The car had a full tank of gas and it was raining outside. Not only did this happen in the middle of a busy intersection, but while the weather conditions were difficult which could potentially put safety at risk.

For the 3rd time, my 2023 Corolla Cross LE has completely shut off when stopped at a light. Similarities across events include: > it has been raining, so windshield wipers are on > auto-stop/start has been initiated > no warning lights appear before this happens; it just shuts off and the screen says "Steering power low" This seems to be a documented occurrence, per this forum in which the same problem is detailed by numerous contributors: https://www.corollacrossforum.com/threads/vehicle-malfunction-at-start-stop.396/ The sudden shut-down of the vehicle is safety risk because, in a frantic state of mind, one could end up holding up traffic and generating more road rage, never mind the state of mind that I'm left in after this happens - totally anxious and frazzled! After the 2nd time this happened, the car was brought to the dealership where they kept the car overnight to try and recreate the problem. They didn't manage to (sunny days), but they communicated with Toyota about it. After this 3rd time of it happening today I am reaching out to the NHTSA.

AIR BAGS

I noticed that the police report does not mention or investigate the issue of the car’s airbags. This was a major accident, and the vehicle was completely totaled—yet not a single airbag deployed. I would like to know what action your department can take to address the sale of such vehicles in our country, and who will be held responsible when airbags fail to operate in serious accidents. I have great respect for the police department—like the military, it is one of the most disciplined and critical services in our society. However, I kindly request that you report the issue of the non-functioning airbags to your supervisors or the concerned department, and, if possible, bring it to public attention or initiate corrective action with Toyota car suppliers. Thank you very much for your service and understanding.

On [XXX], at approximately [XXX], I was involved in a major collision in Northridge, California, while driving my 2023 Toyota [Model], VIN: [XXX] . While making a left turn from [XXX] to [XXX], my vehicle was struck on the driver’s side/front area. I was wearing my seatbelt. Despite the severity of the impact and heavy vehicle damage, the airbags failed to deploy. Component/System Failed: Airbag system (sensors and/or deployment mechanism). Vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Safety Risk: My safety was compromised because the airbag system did not activate to protect me from the crash forces. This left my head, neck, and torso unprotected, increasing the risk of serious injury or death. Injuries Sustained: Lightheadedness, neck pain, middle back pain, and episodes of forgetting words when speaking. Currently being evaluated in the Emergency Department. Reproduction/Confirmation: The issue has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or service center. UNKNOWN if this is a recurring defect. Inspections: The vehicle has not yet been inspected by Toyota or a dealer. Police documented the incident, and insurance will inspect. The vehicle is available for manufacturer, NHTSA, or other inspections. Warnings/Prior Symptoms: No warning lamps, error messages, or prior symptoms before the failure. UNKNOWN if sensors or control module registered the crash but failed to deploy. Evidence: Videos and photos show this was a major crash with heavy damage, yet airbags did not deploy. I request a full investigation, disclosure of similar reports, and corrective action/recall if warranted. My legal counsel will also follow up with Toyota INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I was driving on I-290 toward Chicago when traffic began to slow. I also began slowing down when I was suddenly rear-ended by the vehicle behind me at a high speed. My car sustained significant rear-end damage, including a crushed bumper and a detached exhaust pipe that was dragging on the ground. The other vehicle involved was totaled. Police arrived on the scene and determined the other driver was at fault. While waiting for the tow truck, multiple tow personnel commented that, based on the severity and location of the impact, the airbags should have deployed — but they did not. I did not receive any warning lights, alerts, or messages before or after the impact. I did not hit my head, but it was a real possibility given the force of the crash, and I believe this created a serious safety risk. I purchased this vehicle in large part due to its reputation for safety, and in this situation, I felt unprotected. At this point, the vehicle has not yet been inspected by a dealer or manufacturer, but the police and insurance companies have been involved. I am concerned that the failure of the airbag system to deploy represents a defect or malfunction in the safety system. I am willing to make the vehicle available for inspection if needed.

On July 12, 2023 Safety recall 23TA08 was issued and it stated that dealer cannot sell, offer for sale, or introduce or deliver for introduction in interstate commerce a new motor vehicle under Title 49, Section 30112 of the United States Code. But the next day on July 13, 2023 Larry H. Miller American Toyota in Albuquerque, NM sold the new car to me (agreement is attached) but didn't deliver it (didn't release it from the dealer's lot) and didn't tell me that the new recall was published the day before. I got the car on August 17, 2023 only. I expected that the car didn't have any safety issues, but several days later I found in my account at Toyota.com that the recall hadn't been closed for my car (health report is attached). The remedy was available in October 2023 but I hadn't got any notice from Toyota or the dealer, so my car was repaired on November 2, 2023 only (repair invoice from another Toyota dealer is attached).

I bought a 2023 Cross in good faith the end of March 2023. I needed it as a replacement car as mine had been totaled as I was hit head on Feb. 9,2020.Then the covid long months and years hit right after and then I could find no car. When I finally found one through a dealership then I got no 1 recall and later no2 recall.I have not been able to drive it much as safety issues and it has been sitting for weeks. First why was Toyota allowed to go through Takata for the parts when years ago they were in a prior recall with this manufacturer and Takata filed for bankruptcy then. Now this is the largest recall in this recall history and we, the customers of new cars, are in a mess. I bought an extended warranty which is no good since my car is sitting, they have the 2022 Cross SUV on this recall also-why was it not taken care of before we bought new 2023 vehicles??I waited years to replace my totaled car due to no cars (new) on lots and I had many injuries and the person who hit me had nothing to even pay off my bill for injuries-just a little insurance his mother had taken out.Had I known about the problem I would have found another new SUV.Why is there no one not allowing Toyota to use this manufacturer AGAIN so we do not have to go through all this. I have been through enough physically and still have medical problems and have to go to medical facilities 5-6 hours away for problems and planned on using my Cross and have 5 upcoming trips in the weeks ahead of me. I hope there can be some changes so this never happens again to new car buyers-it also has affected my car's value. I am so disappointed and mad in the whole situation. Thank you for your time.

I have contacted the Toyota company several times over the internal multimedia system in the vehicle I purchased in October 2023. This system requires that I download a poorly developed application on my phone from Toyota in order to fully interact with the system. I will not put any app on my personal phone that is a potential security risk and is one of the poorest rated apps on the app store where it resides. Because I won't add this awful Toyota tracking device on my phone, I am required to interact with this panel to distraction while driving, which is causing safety issues. I would like to know how it is legal for a corporation like this to require that someone download an app with security risks on their phone, in order to use an interior car function, which can cause major safety issues because it is so distracting while driving.

I purchased a brand-new 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross LE on [XXX], in St. Croix, Virgin Islands, selling price, $31, 500.00 Early July 2025, I started the vehicle, and unexpectedly, multiple lights emerged on the dashboard screen per below, Exhibit 1 - Check Engine - Visit your dealer Exhibit 2 -Drive Start Control Malfunction - Visit your dealer Exhibit 3 - Parking Brake Malfunction Exhibit 4 - Secondary Collision - Brake System Malfunction Exhibit 5- Parking System Malfunction The vehicle was taken to Island Toyota on July 5th. The codes were cleared by removing the battery terminal. Two days later, the warning lights reappeared. After the technician performed diagnostic testing, I received a phone call to pick up the vehicle. The total cost of the ordered parts exceeds $2,000, which includes a computer. This vehicle is under warranty, particular vehicle IS NOT TWO YEARS OLD. This vehicle is a LEMON. I spoke with Carlos Rivera, a Customer Service Agent at Toyota of Puerto Rico. I notified him of this matter via phone calls, and he responded. He stated that his department is the warranty department, solely responsible for ordering parts for vehicles with warranties. He advised me to speak Ms Charla Green, the General Manager for Toyota St. Croix. Not quite sure why she never returns calls and is virtually unfeasible to speak with customers is atrocious. The front desk agents seems to be programmed to let you know Ms Green is not available and the supervisor, Ms Francis, seems uninterested in the daily chronicles with ones vehicle. The Entire department running blind while upper management is collecting hefty salaries. When the poor man cries out in distress, it’s a deep yearning for help and reassurance from the workers getting paid to help.

Driving in Bumper-to-Bumper traffice on interstate 10. It was raining and the wipers were on. The problem occurred on December 20th during frequent starts and stops to maintain traffic flow with other vehicles. During one of the stops, the engine turned off as it normally does at a traffic light or when stuck in traffic. Upon lifting my foot off the brake, the car emiited loud sounds and various lights came on the dashboard. Cars behind me started honking their horns and other cars began acclerating passed me on the adjacent lanes. I was very upset and frightened. I tried several times to try and restart the car. I finally was able to get it started and drove directly to the dealer- Toyota of the Desert in Cathedral City. The Service writer said they could not find anything wrong with the car and would not give me a loaner. I am a health care provider and use my car to take my patients for doctor visits etc. She needs 24/7 coverage, so I asked her husband to pick me up at the dealer. He called the dealer and escalated the request for a loaner which was granted. The next day I asked him to return the loaner and pick up my car. He spoke with several people at the dealership including F&I, Service Director and Sales director and no one ever heard of this problem. He did some research and found that this problem has been reported many times. ie. Auto stop/start and many times with windshield wipers on causes car to unexpectantly stall. There are multiple reports listed under several categories on this database. This needs immediate attention before something terrible happens.

Dear NHTSA Representative: I bought a Toyota Cross LE 2023 in April of 2023. During the first few weeks of owning and using the vehicle, seat belt alarms got activated even though all passengers were wearing their respective seat belts. Also, open door alarms got activated randomly while all of them were properly closed. On the 27 of July 2023 at a stop light the vehicle turned off in accordance with the Auto Stop Programming feature, however once the brake pedal was released, the engine failed to start while faults appeared on the instrument cluster display. When the vehicle was taken to the Toyota dealer, the manufacturer representative did not recognize the situation as a technical problem. They just advised to turn off the Auto Stop Feature as a "remedy" on August 3, 2023. Service job orders were not given when repair was requested. On November 13, 2023 the vehicle failed to engage any gear once the shift lever was moved from P to D. Malfunction faults appeared on the instrument cluster display and the engine stalled. Once again the vehicle put us on a safety risk due to manufacturer defects. The vehicle was transported to the Toyota Dealer for repair. I am a resident of Puerto Rico and this car was bought to accommodate my mother's and my needs of transportation to fulfill personal and professional necessities. Even though monthly payments are made in compliance with the financial commitment, warranty services already paid in advance are not being delivered or fulfilled. As a result of this condition, I am not able to recognize the trustworthiness of the vehicle under Toyota Brand advertising in Spanish "Maneja Confiado". It is my request for NHTSA to evaluate my complaint and investigate this defect of intermittent nature that compromises the safe use of this car by my family among traffic with other drivers. I will be seeking to cancel this purchase agreement and no longer recognize Toyota as a dependable or reliable option for transportation.

I bought my car yesterday. Was driving tonight when it was raining with my wipers on. I stopped at a stoplight and the engine stopped, the check engine light came on, a loud and long beep sounded, and messages came up on the screen saying steering power low, press brake firmly to restart. I tried multiple times to press the brake for restarting but it didn't work. I had to put on my flashers for cars to go around me because I couldn't get the car to go. I finally put it in park and had to turn it completely off and on I believe twice before I finally got it started and could drive home.

The car has suddenly turn off while driving, all lights come one and does take a while to be able.to turn back on. It had happened 4 times already. Twice today while my daughter was driving on a busy street, nearly missing getting it by someone else. And the second time in the middle of an intersection today was a rainy day, and she had the automatic on/off button off. Twice before, on 2 separate days one was sunny, the day was sprinkling.

I was at a stop light with the car in drive and the wipers on intermittent. The auto on/off feature was also enabled since the car was stopped. There was a failure related to the auto on off that seems to correlate with the windshield wipers being used. The engine shut off and the error message appeared on the screen "engine stopped steering power low". The check engine and power steering lights came on. I couldn't move the car until I put it in park, shut the car off, and turned the car back on.

I have been experiencing an issue with the auto stop/start function that kicks in when you brake. It's inconsistent, but sometimes when I am at an intersection or waiting to turn out onto a road it malfunctions. Initially it works as intended and turns off my engine when I brake. Then if I remain stopped for a bit, instead of restarting the engine I hear an alarm sound and the dash screen says "Engine Stopped. Press Brake Firmly to Restart" and shows the Check Engine light and the Low Power Steering warning lights - then actually states "Engine Stopped" and "Steering Power Low". When I press the brake firmly - all the way to the floor in fact, nothing happens. I have to throw my car into park and restart it. This is worrisome when I am at a busy intersection or waiting to pull out onto a road. Nobody wants their car dying on them when they are trying to work with the flow of traffic. The issue seems to happen typically at times where I have not been driving very long and am doing in-town driving with stops. I caught it on video once and it was about 2.5 minutes into my drive. If I leave the auto stop/start on, it will continue to do this at stops - so it's not just once per drive. Furthermore, the feature is not one that you can have "off" by default. I cannot find any setting to have it not turn on when the car starts - I have to turn it off using the button near the gear shift. If I am driving for a long time, it will turn itself back on. It's unnerving to have a feature that is malfunctioning that you can't turn off completely, that turns itself back on. I drive my car daily and purchased on 12/31/2022, so the battery and systems should be functioning. I have experienced this on: 1/8/2023 1/13/2023 1/17/2023 (caught on video) Took to shop 1/14/23, they could not replicate. Took back 1/26/23 with video, they could not replicate. No solution found.

After the first issues with start stop car would just shut off in the middle of driving, came a new issues In august 2024 When all these lights came on car had been park over night and not driven so it was a fresh start . Warning lights included parking brake system, Drive start control, check engine, vehicle stability control and secondary collision brake system. Corolla cross would not back nor move this time . Took to dealership with no findings or solutions. Again September 2024 same warning lights and car had just been driven 8 miles and was in park. These warning lights are very much a safety concern. Have taken to dealership with no resolution or findings

When at a red light the steering wheel froze and the stop/ start did not work. It stated to depress the brake hard but everything was frozen. It was raining and the wipers were on when this occurred. Finally started after putting it in park and restarting the car. Had many angry cars behind me. Very unsettling.

The vehicle turned off on me while driving. It has happened many times I have taken the car to the dealer numerous times and they aren’t able to duplicate a problem. It’s turned off while on drive at a red lights numerous times, but this time On March 10,2023 it turned off while driving and it was raining. I have pictures and video of the numerous incidents. The dealers keep telling they can’t find anything wrong with the car. It Doesn’t feel safe driving the vehicle if they can’t figure what’s going on with the vehicle. The dealer is claiming they fixed the issue, but we’re never able to duplicate the issue.

When it is raining, wipers are on, and I stop at the traffic light, start/stop function turns on when I press the pedal all the way down, but when I release it to drive again, the engine won't start back and the message appears on screen "engine stopped, steering power low", which is scary because the cars at the back starts honking, then I turn the car into parking, switch the car off and turn it back on and then I can drive. Apparently, it is a know problem with this model but Toyota refuse the accept that they know about it and they do not have the solution. It has happened to me 5 times in 3 months, since I bought the car.

While it was raining, and I was at a stop light in the middle of traffic, my car stopped and made a loud warning sound and my dashboard lit up with warning signs about my engine and steering wheel. It stated "Engine Stopped, steering power low". I had to shift my car to park and turn my car off and on for it it start again. Its a brand new 2023 Corolla Cross and I've only had it for 3 months. This is very unsafe, multiple people have reported this issue. Something must be done to fix it.

At red lights, come to a complete stop with auto engine off feature enabled, as it is automatically enabled upon entering the vehicle. Engine shuts off per auto feature. After 1-3 minutes, receive error messages: Engine stopped. Power Steering Low. Push brake firmly to restart engine." Check Engline Light is on. Have to put car in park, turn off the ignition, wait a minute, and turn back on to go. Each time the windshield wipers were activated. Had the car less than 5 days, 220 miles on it. Safety of myself and others put at risk as I am not able to accelerate or move through a traffic light. To be assessed by dealer ASAP.

At a stop light the car shut down on me. Immediately on the the following message appeared on the warning panel indicator : “steering power low” then “ engine stopped “ and “ Press brake firmly to restart”. I followed the instructions but it didn’t work. I had to shift the car to park to be able to start the engine again. This happened on 4 occasions. In case this is relevant, it was raining heavily throughout the entire day.

Twice while I was on a roadtrip this past weekend when I was stopped, I got an error that said "Steering Power Low." The first time I was in bumper to bumper traffic in the Bronx. My phone was plugged into the vehicle to use Android Car Play. It was drizzling off and on, so my wipers may have been on, but if so, they were on intermittent. To my recollection, I was not using other electronic components at that time. The second time I was at a stop light. It was a long light, but not unreasonably so. It was raining, so my headlights and windshield wipers were on. I was using Android Car play via bluetooth connection. Both times I had to put the car into neutral and restart it. The automatic start/stop feature was on both times because I have not figured out a way to permanently turn it off.

It was the first day driving my brand new 2023 Corolla Cross XLE AWD to work in downtown Washington, DC. I pulled up to stoplight and the auto start/stop turned off the engine like normal. After about 20 seconds at the stoplight, the car started one long beep that wouldn’t shut off and my dashboard screen said “engine stopped, press brake firmly to restart" and "low power steering.” The check engine light was also illuminated. I pressed the brake firmly but the car did not restart. I was blocking downtown traffic and tried to turn the wheel to move closer to the curb, but the steering wheel would not turn. I tried to push the on/off switch with no result. I then shifted it into park and pushed the button to turn off the engine. I pushed it again immediately but the car did not restart. I waited a few seconds and pushed it again and the car started. I am reading online in a Corolla Cross Forum that it seems to be a problem when the windshield wipers are on. Interestingly, it had just begun to rain that morning and I had turned on the wipers. Since then I have turned off the auto stop/start feature each time I start the car. It is currently with the dealership so they can try to figure out the problem.

Exploding Sunroof Issue: I was driving to work in my 2023 Toyota Cross on [XXX] at approximately [XXX] and I was traveling approximately 25 miles per hour when I heard what sounded like grinding glass and then wind noise quickly started coming in, although at the time I didn't know where it was coming from so I looked around to see if the windows were all rolled up. I slid the cover of the sunroof partially back and glass rained down and at that time I realized the sunroof exploded. I took photos and a video of the sun roof and it looked like it blew outward. Nothing struck the sunroof and it seemed to have just spontaneously blew up and outward. I had only 2,950 miles on my car and I assumed it was a defect in glass or installation so my husband took it to the Toyota dealership service center in Carlsbad Ca where we purchased the car and they informed him it was not covered under warranty. They gave him an 800 number to call to find out why the warranty was denied and when he called they told them they would get back to him and that they would not put the denial in any written form as he requested. As of today March 17th, no one has called back so now we start the difficult process of trying to get answers from Toyota. Since we needed the car back and couldn't wait from Toyota's response, we were forced to turn it in to the insurance company and pay the deductible. After doing some research, I'm finding out exploding sunroofs is a known issue on Toyotas. I believe this is an extreme safety hazard and am surprised the company was quick to deny it as a warranty issue.

I have run into issues with the auto start/stop or brake hold being on while the windshield wipers are on. I get a "steering fluid low" message that comes up on the dashboard and the car becomes inoperable. I have to turn the car off and turn it back on in order to drive it again. This has been going on since I purchased the car in March 2023. I have not gone to a dealer around this issue as I've heard from other Toyota Corolla Cross owners have run into the same issue and that there is no remedy for the issue. There is no warning that this will happen, it happens unexpectedly and typically I'm sitting at stop signs or red lights.

Nothing has happened yet but I feel that the wipers on this vehicle, in high speed, are not adequate to clear the windshield in a heavy rain. I have great anxiety driving in heavy rain since purchasing this vehicle. I would like this to be noted in case others complain and hopefully it can lead to a solution. I just purchased this vehicle and now am stuck with a vehicle that can't provide basic safety.

There is no rear windshield wiper blade. Visibility is basically zero out of the back window unless it is sunny. It is extremely dangerous never being able to see out your rear window. If any rain, sleet, snow, mud, dirt, deicer gets on my rear window it is impossible to see. There is no reason why a brand new 2023 crossover vehicle does not have a rear windshield wiper, it is incredibly dangerous and accidents will be caused due to this. This is a safety feature I didn't even realize I needed until after I bought the vehicle and went to clean off the back window and realized it was impossible to do while driving.

I was at a red light on a busy highway. All of a sudden my car stopped working: I got a message on the dashboard along the lines of "engine power low" and "press brake hard to restart". But even if I pressed the brake hard, nothing would happen, and my car wouldn't move forward. In fact, because I was on a slight uphill, releasing the brake pedal made my car go backwards. The steering wheel also felt locked. I was panicked because the light turned green and a lot of cars were waiting behind me. I put my hazard lights on, and kept trying to press the brake hard to no avail. Finally after about a minute, I put my car in park, and turned off my car. I then restarted it, and it suddenly worked. This was a super scary experience, and very disappointing since my car is new as of two months ago.

Just a couple weeks ago, my 16 year old daughter was driving our NEW 2023 Corolla Cross when she came to a busy intersection and had to stop for the red light. She reduced her speed to make the complete stop and WITHOUT engaging the ECO system (Stop/Start feature using the brake) the vehicle completely shut down and locked up on her with the "Power Steering Low" warning as well as some description about the brake. She asked what happened and what should she do. I turned the Hazard lights on and I asked her if she had tried to engage the ECO system Start/Stop and she said no. I told her to see if she could engage the Stop/Start by firmly pressing on the brake, she could not. I told her to put the car in park and again try to engage the ECO system, she could not. I told her to turn the vehicle off while in park and then restart the car. When she turned the car back on the warning cleared and she could drive the vehicle a few blocks to work. It was raining, not heavily, and we had the windshield wipers on. The "Power Steering Low" showed another time when I had the car idling in the parking lot with the wipers going waiting for my son after his game. I had to turn the car off. Numerous occasions the "Battery Charging" warning will appear when I have tried to engage the ECO system Stop/Start. One day I could not get the ECO system to engage no matter what I did, NO additional accessories were on. Same as the Power Steering Low issue unknown but, my daughter has experienced the wheel firmly locking up where she cannot control the wheel while centered in the lane. The lane assist seems to engage aggressively when not needed creating a temporary situation where the drive cannot control the wheel. My dealer has had the car 8 days without being able to replicate any error and unfortunately there SUBSTANTIAL DEFECTS DO NOT log in the cars history. Most concerning is the lack of logged warnings which the dealer says they can't diagnose the issue. Huge safety concern!!

I was driving my NEW 2023 corolla cross home on the side of the toll road (busy road). I stopped at a red light and pressed the brake down for the stop engine. When the light turned green and I let my foot off the brake warning lights went off saying “low steering power” the wheel locked and my car would not go. Kept saying “press brake firmly to restart” which I did several times and nothing happened. Finally I put the car in park and pressed the break with the start button a few times and it turned back on so I could drive away. However, I was stuck in the middle lane on road with a high speed limit between 50-60. I put my hazards on and cars were good about going around but it was very scary. Then the same thing happened when I was in the middle yield section trying to cross a very busy highway. I dont think the stop engine initiated and the car still locked up. This is a huge safety issue.

The contact owns a 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross. The contact stated that while driving 68 MPH, there was an abnormal sound like a gunshot coming from the sunroof. The contact stated there was a huge hole formed in the middle of the sunroof, and air was rushing into the vehicle. The contact discovered a large piece of glass behind her right ear; however, the contact was not injured because of the failure. The contact pulled over at the next rest stop and cleaned out the vehicle. Upon inspecting the glass, the contact discovered several hairline fractures and cracks around the edges of the glass. The contact believed that the failure was caused by excessive pressure and stress placed on the vehicle after extensive hours of driving. The contact stated that while driving for an extensive period at high rates of speed, the contact had to clear her ear passages because her ears were frequently filled with air. The contact notified the dealer and an independent mechanic about the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired.

While driving at a moderate speed (june 7, 2025), multiple critical systems of the vehicle suddenly failed. Both dashboard screens (driver and center display) went black, and numerous warning lights appeared afterward, including oil pressure, engine, lane departure, tire pressure, and airbag (SRS) system malfunction. The vehicle accelerated involuntarily, the brakes did not respond, the steering became stiff, and the airbags failed to deploy upon impact with concrete and metal highway barriers. A "System Malfunction" and "SRS Airbag System Malfunction" message appeared. The police report attributes the crash to a vehicle system malfunction. Two days before the incident (June 5, 2025), the vehicle had been serviced by the dealer, and the electronic screen issue had been reported but not addressed. This failure put our lives at serious risk and demonstrates a catastrophic malfunction across safety-critical systems.

the incident has occurred three times since i have had the vehicle, two were at low speed and one was at moderate speed, the brakes initially start to work but in the final stage of braking the brake pedal gets very hard and the brakes seem not to be working for about 1-2 seconds, my natural reaction has been to hit the pedal several times and finally it ends up working. i took the vehicle to the toyota service center and they told me that the brake pads are perfect, when evidently it is not a failure of the break pads, i am not a mechanic but it is evident that the breaks pads are not the problem. Luckyly I didn't have cars in front, 2 stops sign and 1 was a yield sign. Not lights or alerts in the car dashboard.

I slowed down to turn into my daughter's driveway and park in front of their boat (maybe 5 mph if that). Suddenly, the vehicle accelerated at a high rate of speed on its own. I hit the brakes with no response. I had to veer to the left of the driveway onto the grass to avoid hitting the boat and garage. The car continued to accelerate (approximately 60-70+ mph) as I tried pumping the break pedal several times with no response (went to floor board with no resistance). I had to maneuver a narrow area at a high rate of speed to avoid hitting the house to my right and trees to my left. As I came down the hill, I approached a large embankment of a knocked over tree, dirt and brush pile. I knew I had to do something or it would be a serious impact. I quickly swerved to my right. I didn't know there was a ditch to the right of this embankment, but thankfully it brought my vehicle to a stop as my front left tire became flat and stuck in the dirt This was very shocking and traumatizing. We verified there was nothing on the floor that would have caused the gas to be accelerated. My car is currently on 3 wheels where it stopped (1 wheel suspended in the air). I received medical care at the ER for back pain. A CT scan showed I had a T12 Vertebrae compression fracture. I was prescribed a back brace, pain medication and an anti-inflammatory. I have also been alternating with a heat pad and ice pack, plus using a cane to help me get around. I will be contacting Toyota as well for an investigation into the problem, but I am scared to drive this vehicle again if if they do check it over. A police report was started on 14 Jul with the Lafayette County Sheriff's Department, Oxford, MS, but it hasn't been completed. The report number is 24-003363. It wouldn't let me proceed selecting a report was filed and no report attached, so I chose no and provided report number.

My brand new car will shut off when coming to a complete stop to save energy as designed. However, when I step on the gas to go, the car shuts completely off, forcing me to put my car in park and restart the engine. It will make a strange noise and all the dash lights will go on. I brought my car in and was told the problem was fixed. It was not. This is the 2nd time I have brought my car back for shutting off. It is very frighting for your car not to move when you are pressing on the gas pedal.

When I was driving, I stopped at a light, and the engine turned off. Lights, alarms went on and my car would not start. The dashboard read that there was engine failure. The car didn’t respond to pressing the brake, or shifting gears. I had to turn the car off and restart it for it to start working again. Thankfully, I was not on a hill where the car would’ve started rolling forwards or backwards. This had previously happened at another stop light. When we brought the vehicle in for a recall related to the steering column, they mentioned our car is not affected. But there seems to be an issue, and I’m concerned that it will endanger me and my passengers.

Purchased car in March 2023. August 2023, rainy day. Engine shut off when at light and foot on brake. Warning signals of "engine stopped, press brake firmly to restart,’ and ‘low power steering’.” displayed. Had to put car in park to restart. Took to Toyota dealership where purchased, they couldn't recreate. Happened again later that evening. Took pics of dash and took into dealership next day. They had it for almost 3 months. Said it was the second starter. Drove fine for about 3 months and then happened again on 3/8. Took in again and they could not recreate. Not safe to drive as it happens in heavy traffic somethimes.

In November, the engine stalled at a light when it was raining and the wipers were on. Warning noises were activated and the console read "steering Power Low." The car had to be pushed out of the intersection by other drivers. After a half hour the car was able to be restarted . The Car taken to dealership and they ran diagnostics on it and declared that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. Yet on December 27th, it happened again. This time my daughter was driving the vehicle. It was raining, the lights and wipers were on and we stopped at a light. The engine shut off and would not restart. She pressed the brake multiple times and put the car in park. After about 5 minutes of sheer terror, she was able to restart the car.

When driving at night the illumination from the headlights is very poor. I can only see about 1/3 of the way up on the windshield and only a short distance in front of the car. Everything else is black. I am leasing the car for three years but I can't drive it at night it's too dangerous. Even if I use highbeams it is difficult to see. Both of my adult children have driven the car and come to the same conclusion. I brought it back to the dealership and they said the lights were adjusted properly to pass inspection. The only solution they had for me was to find someone to put in different bulps. They said they could not do it and if I did not buy it at the end I'd have to put the old bulbs back in. I have seen several other people on the internet that have exactly the same problem.

I bought this vehicle 3 months prior to your letter that reached me mid July 2023 about a safety recall due to it being a safety issue and telling me to NOT let anyone sit in the passenger seat due to major safety concerns with the airbag. Being a couple of months old 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross and that it had taken me 3 years to find a vehicle to purchase (with Covid and no cars on any lots) I complied and put the vehicle in my garage awaiting more info to come. This left me carless but at least I was safe. In a bit the dealer called and said they had the necessary parts to replace.They did supposedly fix 1 although dealing with Takata I have no 100% assurance the parts or fixing was done correctly. Then shortly another letter came saying the driver's side also was affected and TO NOT DRIVE IT FOR SAFETY REASONS AGAIN!!I had to have surgery at Mayo Clinic and had to keep my appts and trips back and forth at my expense!! I had to rent a car for 4 days for this trip.The dealer also confirmed the problems with the car. I also know of the same problems in 2015 and much the same scene with Takata and faulty parts and a billion penalty they acquired.When filling this out it was stated under my VIN no."unrepaired recall info was not found for this VIN. Why am I getting letters from the manufacturer and they state the driver's side is unsafe and defects in the airbag(s) inflators have risks of deaths and injuries when deployed.Deployed chemicals used to inflate the airbag use an ammonium nitrate based propellent without a drying agent in their metal cartridge."PLEASE ADVISE NOW AS THIS DRIVER SIDE HAS NEVER BEEN FIXED." The dealer is the only place that inspected the one side-passenger-as no fix or parts-exist for driver's side now AND I AM MOST UNHAPPY THAT IT IS NOT STATED ON MY ACCOUNT THAT IT NEEDS MORE WORK AND TO NOT DRIVE IT.I do not recall any light or messages showing but then again I have only driven my BRAND NEW SUV a few times and then it has been garaged.

It was raining. The adaptive cruise control was engaged. The system did not sense the car in front and keeps moving at set speed. It happen at least three times during the trip. I have to disengage the cruise control or hit the brake to keep the car from hitting the car in front. I looked at the in car cruise control monitor. It did not detected any car in front. Even thought there was a car in front. In my previous car with adaptive cruise control. If weather was preventing the safety system from operating normally. A warning would pop up and disengage the adaptive cruise control. No such warning with the Corolla. The adaptive cruise control seems to be operating normally once the rain has lighten up.

This is a recurring problem since buying the vehicle new... now at ~7,500 miles. Problem occurs on state highways (North Carolina country roads). While Lane Tracing Assist is active at 45 mph - 60 mph, the Lane Tracing Assist works fine and as expected on large radius state highway curves, but when it comes to smaller radius curves, the Lane Tracing Assist takes the turn in an overly aggressive manner. It wants to cross the median on curves to the left, and it wants to run off the road on curves to the right. The lane departure warning sounds in both instances, so the car recognizes it is departing the lane. I am able to maintain control to keep the car generally in its lane, but I have to actively and physically fight the steering system to do so.

I ordered the car in July and it arrived on 8/3/23. On 8/31/23, I got in the car while in my garage, attempted to start it as usual, and a loud sound occurred when I shifted from park to reverse. Lights began flashing. I turned off the car, got out and walked around to make sure I hadn’t hit anything. After verifying clearance all around, I checked my phone. The Toyota Corolla Cross XLE had 4 codes listed: malfunctions of: electronic control of engine, AWD system, drive-start control system, and the advanced ultrasonic detecting and ranging system. I restarted the car and backed out of my garage. The check engine light was still on. I backed out and tried to drive down my neighborhood street. When I steeped in the accelerator, the engine would race but not engage. Acceleration was problematic so I returned home. Later the same day, I had it towed into a local Toyota service center. After several days, they said it was “just a glitch”. They reset it and have not been able to get the codes to recur.

It was a rainy day, the first rainy day that I drove this car in. I had my windshield wipers and headlights on, and I've always kept my auto start/stop setting on for this car. At one point within 5 minutes of my destination, I pulled up to a left turn lane at an intersection. I slowed to a stop, with my auto stop engaging (as intended). At this moment, my engine stalled, my turn lights on my dashboard shone orange nonstop, and a constant beeping sound started. On the dashboard in front of me, following message was displayed: Press brake firmly to restart engine, Low steering power. I attempted to follow the instructions and pressed the brake as firmly as I could, but the warning and long beep continued and the car would not budge. It was getting dangerous because I was in the middle of a lane and blocking traffic. After a few attempts to follow the directions, I resorted to putting the car in park and manually completely shutting off the engine, then manually starting the engine. This worked and I was able to continue driving. Though this same situation happened again the same night in the same conditions: rainy, auto stopped in a left turn lane, windshield wipers on.

My partner was driving in stop and go traffic. One of her stops the engine just shut down. She needed to restart. The most recent issue is the rear sensor. It shows it is blocked. When I checked the back bumper the round spot, where I guess the sensor is, was pushed in. I then checked the front bumper, one of those circular spots appear close to being detached. Another issue, the phone charger located in front of the gear handle never worked. I am going to the dealership today. The vehicle was purchased January 2023 and has about 2500 miles on it.

I turned on my car and (7) symbols on the dashboard appeared and lots of buzzing that freaked me out ! I was in a state of panic and went inside my house and got my husband and asked him to come take a look at the car cause it was going CRAZY !

LDA Indicator Light (Orange) 4. PCS Warning Light (Yellow) 5. Dynamic Radar Cruise Control Indicator Light (Orange) 6. Slip Indicator Light (Yellow) 7. Driving Assist Information Indicator (Yellow).

This time I drove the car to the dealership and explained to the service guy what the car was doing so he said they would do a diagnostic test on the car? My husband picked up the car on Wednesday, May 17th, he was told that everything was fine with the car but they re-set the computer.

On March 9th 2023 I was stopped at a red light in my brand new 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross XLE that I had for only 13 days (it had 420 miles on it). It was raining and I had my wipers on. Suddenly a loud alarm/tone was heard and several warning lights flashed across the dash. Power steering low/engine stopped/press brake firmly to restart. The steering wheel was locked. I tried pressing my breaks several times but nothing happened. The car behind me was honking their horn over and over. Next thing I know, I feel a 'bump' as my car bumped into his. He got out of his car and came up to my window and asked "whats the problem?" I pointed at the dash and told him I had no idea what was going on! He said my car was slowly rolling backwards into his car. He told me to put the car into park and turn it off so it would stop rolling. When I did this, the alarm/tone stopped. When I started the car back up, all dash lights were off and I was able to drive it to the Toyota dealership that was about 1/2 a mile away from where it broke down. My car has been at the dealership now for 6 weeks. My case was escalated to Toyota Corporate. For the longest time they told me they "couldn't duplicate the problem" and there was nothing wrong with my car even though it had thrown a x206d code (power source stop/engine stall). It wasn't until I went to the dealership and showed them the youtube video of what I had also experienced that they were suddenly able to duplicate the problem. I have been told a "software update" is in the works and they had to hang onto my car until the update becomes available as it is a safety issue to have the car suddenly stop working while at a stop light in traffic.

Purchased a Toyota Corolla Cross 2023 on April 14th. Was very excited until I began noticing when the “Automated Start Stop” system began to engage at times, when I had the system supposedly off. I took it to the dealership where they tried to reenact the problem and nothing happened, they assumed it was user error. On April 21st I had driven the car for approximately 40 minutes and it was raining very hard. I had the windshield wipers running, the radio was on and when I came to the stop sign, I engaged the break (the Automated Start Stop system was on) the car totally shut down with all its bells and whistles flashing telling me the engine was off, it needed fluid, etc. I was in quite a panic mode due to the weather conditions, and worried that someone was going to hit me from behind. After composing myself, I put the car in park and restarted the car. When I was safe to pull over I disengaged the Automatic Start Stop system. I was able to make it home. On April 22nd I took the car out to try to reenact the situation and after driving a short time, the car once again, shut down. This is very very dangerous. I now have disengaged the Automatic Start System in hopes that it will not shut down until I can return this lemon to the dealership.

My brand new Vehicle stopped functioning when I got to a stop light on 2 occasions. Steering and brakes do not work and Vehicle kept moving at a slow pace uncontrollably. The first incident, dash board read “engine pressure low” This was not safe at all. It happened at an 8 lane cross intersection and thankfully I made it through before the lights turned red again. The second incident, dashboard read “engine stopped, steering power low” and the car did not move after that. Had it towed back to dealership. Toyota said they were able to duplicate the problems and it had something to do with intermittent wiper’s being on when you stop. Although I am positive I did not have my wipers on, and I was not alone, Toyota still says otherwise. I have been given back the vehicle from the dealership and feel extremely unsafe. I do not feel my safety is acknowledged as there are careless drivers on the road daily.

When the vehicle comes to a stop, sometimes the engine will shut off and the check engine light comes on. It appears to occur when it is raining and the windshield wipers are on. We brought the vehicle to a Toyota service center but they were not able to help. This creates a safety problem if the vehicle dies on the road.

This car is experiencing the same issues of the engine shut off malfunction from the 2022 Corolla Cross model. I just got this car and it’s been happening where while i’m stopped at a intersection, the malfunction happens, tells me that something is wrong with the steering fluid, i have to put the car in park, turn off the entire car, turn it back on, and it works. This is has been a huge concern for us drivers and is extremely unsafe while driving. Many commented how it might be a bad battery cell from toyota, but this needs to get fixed ASAP!

I was driving during the snow storm, my front sensor stopped working because it was covered in snow. That warning popped up on my dash screen and the warning light was on, after about half hour, the front collision warning light also turned on. I had not been able to stop to clean the sensor. I stopped about an hour after the original warning light came on, my start/ stop battery charge came on the dash, and then I got a dash warning that said "steering power low" and "engine stopped" and then "press brake peddle firmly to restart engine" I attempted to start it by pushing down on the brake, that did not work. I had to shift into park, turn the key off and turn the key back on for the engine to restart.
