A Toyota owner is frustrated with a faulty navigation system that repeatedly crashes and refuses to update. Despite multiple dealership visits and a customer service call, the issue remains unresolved. The owner argues that the malfunctioning system poses a safety hazard, as it could potentially direct drivers to dangerous roads.

The touch screen in the bottom right corner is not responsive. Original owner said it gave out just before I purchased from them. The main safety concern is now I am unable to use hands free calling which is the main functionality you need with a Bluetooth set up. From what I can see this is a large problem across online forums with this particular model and dealerships will not replace for less than $1000+ and I feel hands free calling should be a safety priority for Toyota enough to replace the screen.

The component that has failed already is the in front passenger side door locker. The door locker is not working in any way, When I am using the switch to lock and unlock the door locker dosen't move. If I use the car key in the drivers side outside to lock and unlock all doors, the other three doors locker work fine, but in front passenger side door locker not work any more. If I use my control alarm something happens.. I am driving my car every day I don't feel comfortable with this matter because somebody can open my door on any traffic lights. Same way I leave my car parked outside in the street I have to be careful to lock manually the door. I hope never forget lock manually my door car.. .. the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? NO Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear... NO Any symptoms o problems prior to the failure

WHILE USING OUR NAVIGATION SYSTEM OUR RADIO REBOOTED AND WILL NOT LOAD. WE WERE USING THE SYSTEM FOR DIRECTIONS BECAUSE IT'S HANDS FREE. I HAVE TRIED 7-8 TIMES TO RESET THE SYSTEM AND I EVEN TRIED DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY TO PERFORM A HARD RESET WITHOUT ANY LUCK. THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000 MILES. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND HAVEN'T HAD ANOTHER ISSUES. I LOOKED ONLINE AND SEEN HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THEIR NAVIGATION/RADIO SYSTEM DOING THE SAME THING. IT'S OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE SYSTEM AND TOYOTA DOESN'T SEEM TO BE WILLING TO REPAIR THE SYSTEM FOR LESS THAN $1,400.00 FROM WHAT OTHER COROLLA OWNERS HAVE STATED.

The factory paint has been peeling very badly and exposing the metal underneath, allowing rust to begin to settle. I have been trying to get it repaired for a while now and continuously have been ignored. I have spoken to Toyota Customer Support and they told me that the warranty expired a couple months ago, and I have no record of them sending any communication out to us telling us it would expire, which was supposed to be what they needed to do per regulations. I was never notified of any resolutions and am extremely upset that they are not wanting to reconsider due to being 2 months out of warranty.

Radio is in constant reboot for months. It’s very unsafe seeing as the radio screen itself is VERY BRIGHT. It is distracting, bright, and it feels unsafe driving at night with what feels like a flashlight being shined in your face over and over again. Toyota dealers will not fix the issue without paying 1,000$ dollar for the same radio just to do the same thing. There were no warning signs, & it also doesn’t allow usb ports to work. This seems to be a common problem in most toyotas not just corolla's.

I'm writing you about my 2014 Toyota Corolla which I bought from Glendale KIA dealership (400 S. Brand st, Glendale, CA ) in Feb ,2022 with a Gold Warranty. It is about selling old (may be used) 2020 four tires to me instead of 2022 tires. I paid for NEW tires and I have the invoice(and credit card transaction ,..) They told me first I only told them NEW tires and I didn't mention 2022 and those tires which are from 2020 are good. Their supervisor on Monday offered me a FULL TANK OF GAS for free instead of new tires and when I said no and I want four new tires 2022. He told me to go there again (Wednesday 03/23/2022) to get new tires but they tried to give me 2020 tires again. I asked them I want to talk with store manger , they said manager is off and when I asked that specific Employees name , he didn't respond and tried to go to other room and I started recording his video and he tried to grab my phone by force . I came out and called 911.The police officers came and went inside of the dealership and stayed with me to take my car outside (with out getting new tires and I'm still have the 2020 tires that they gave me on Monday). I emailed the manager and other guys several times before that day but they didn't respond . They never called back my VM. The scheduling links of their website is broken and from March 15 I tried to email and call them but they never respond. One mor thing , after police officers came one of their associates text me by his personal phone number ,. Most of the employees are Arabs, I think they are kind of family and friends Their employees have access to my information(Social Security, My family home address, cellphone,..) I know in 2019 in California , we had some legal efforts to make car dealers notice the customers about the manufacturing date. My tires manufacturing date is 3820(week 38, year 2020) I also tried to contact with AAA insurance( my car and my life insurance i) and if have an accident because of those old tires.

2014 COROLLA L WITH 4SP AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING AROUND 50-55MPH ON THE FREEWAY AND I TRY TO SPEED UP, THE TRANSMISSION WILL BANG HARD WHEN DOWNSHIFTING FROM 4TH TO 3RD GEAR. THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF A DELAY WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR WHICH WAS A MONTH AGO. I TOOK THE COROLLA BACK TO MAGIC TOYOTA IN EDMONDS, WA AND THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENED A DAY AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR ON 08/01/2020 AND IT HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY DAY.. THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY AFTER I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY BUT THEN IT RETURNED LAST WEEK. WHAT'S UNSAFE ABOUT THIS CONDITION IS THE TRANSMISSION IS EVENTUALLY GOING TO BREAK AND IT WILL HAPPEN WHEN I'M ON THE FREEWAY. THIS ISN'T A LIGHT JERK BUT A FULL ON SLEDGE HAMMER SMACK THAT HAPPENS WHEN THE TRANSMISSION HAS A HARD TIME DOWNSHIFTING FROM 4TH TO 3RD. SO IF THE TRANSMISSION BREAKS WHILE I'M DRIVING ON I-405 THEN IT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A REAR-ENDING COLLISION.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON A CROWDED CITY STREET. IT WAS RUSH HOUR AND THE TRAFFIC WAS SORT OF STOP AND GO. AFTER A STOP, I ACCELERATED MY CAR TO ABOUT 25 M/H FOLLOWING THE CAR BEFORE ME, THEN I NOTICED MY CAR WAS GOING FASTER THAN I INTENDED AND APPROACHING THE CAR AHEAD. I APPLIED THE BRAKES IN A NORMAL MANNER, HOWEVER, THE CAR DID NOT SLOW DOWN AND CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. FEELING SOMETHING WAS WRONG, I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES, BUT IT WAS NOT EARLY ENOUGH TO STOP BEFORE REAR-ENDING THE CAR. EVEN AFTER THE CRASH AND STOP, MY CAR'S ENGINE WAS CONTINUING REVVING UP UNTIL I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE BY TURNING THE KEY. I HAD A DASH CAM ON MY COROLLA AND THE ACCIDENT WAS RECORDED WITH CLEAR MOVIE AND SOUND.
Oct 19, 2016
WHEN I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH HEADLIGHTS ON, WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON, THE CAR ACCELERATED BY ITSELF UPTO THE SPEED OF 85 MPH EVEN THOUGH I SET CRUISE AT 65 MPH. I TRIED THIS MULTIPLE TIMES AND ALL THE TIME IT WENT UP TO 85 MPH AND STAYED THERE EVEN THOUGH I SET IT FOR LOWER SPEED. THIS SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING WHILE THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON. I HAVE DROVE WITH CRUISE ON, IN THE DAYTIME AND IT WORKS FINE. SINCE THEN, I HAVE NEVER DROVE THIS WITH CRUISE ON AT NIGHT.
Apr 09, 2016
THE CAR SOMETIMES HAS A HESITATION PROBLEM FROM A DEAD STOP; ESPECIALLY WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN. THIS CREATES A SCARY SITUATION DUE TO I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN SO I HAVE TO WAIT QUITE AWHILE FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO SPREAD OUT MUCH FURTHER THEN NORMAL (ABOUT 50 CAR LENGTHS) SOMETIMES THIS IS NOT PRACTICAL SO I HAVE TO CHANCE IT & HOPE NOT TO GET BROADSIDED. THE DEALERSHIP IS OF NO HELP & I DOUBT IF THEY HAVE WRITTEN IT DOWN THE 2 TIMES I REPORTED IT. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED OVER 50 TIMES OVER THE LAST 21 MONTHS & STARTED IN MONTH # 1. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT TOYOTA HAD A NEW STYLE TRANSMISSION & THAT MIGHT BE THE PROBLEM BUT THAT IS DOUBTFUL BECAUSE THE ENGINE RPM'S DON'T COME UP. THE SYMPTOMS APPEAR TO BE A FUEL STARVING PROBLEM.

White paint and clear coat is peeling off vehicle in large sections. It started around the windows and door frames but now almost half the vehicle is missing the paint. I was told by a local mechanic that Toyota had a recall but when I went to Meridian Toyota, they said the recall was for 10 years from the manufacturer date which was 10/13. This is a 2014 vehicle so we didn’t purchase it until 2014. I went at the end of 2024 and they refused to help with it since it was manufacturers date and not 10 years from the year of vehicle. The vehicle is now starting to rust due to a known problem from Toyota which they refuse to fix. My family has had 7 Toyota vehicles which we love but I am extremely disappointed that you won’t fix this problem which is in no way our fault. The paint in the pictures attached has actually gotten worse in the past few months. Please help resolve this situation.

THE PAINT ON MY CAR IS COMING OFF IN SHEETS AND CHUNKS AS I GO DOWN THE ROAD. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THIS IS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM WITH WHITE PAINT ON TOYOTA'S VEHICLES MANUFACTURED DURING YEARS THAT INCLUDE MY CAR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE HAD BEEN A PROGRAM TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BUT IT EXPIRED, I THINK THIS SHOULD BE REPAIRED ASAP TO AVOID FUTURE DAMAGES & ISSUES

I BOUGHT A 2014 CERTIFIED TOYOTA COROLLA S AT TOYOTA CULVER CITY LAST JULY 2017, MAINTANANCE OF MY VEHICLE IS ALWAYS SERVICE AT THIS LOCATION EVER SINCE I GOT IT. THE OTHER DAY WHILE CLEANING MY VEHICLE I NOTICED THAT THE PAINT ON THE CORNER SIDE OF MY HOOD IS PEELING OFF. THOUGHT THAT IT WAS JUST NORMAL SO I BOUGHT A TOYOTA TOUCH UP PAINT AND TRIED TO TOUCH UP THE PEELING PAINT BUT EVER TIME I BRUSH IT LIGHTLY TO ADD THE TOUCH UP PAINT THE PAINT ON MY HOOD WILL PEEL OFF. I CHECKED GOOGLE TO SEE IF IM THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS ENCOUNTER THIS PAINT ISSUE. BUT ITS NOT JUST ME. I CHECKED IF THERE ARE ANY RECALLS FROM TOYOTA ABOUT THE PAINT JOB BUT NOTHING.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A SECLUDED STREET AT ABOUT 20MPH WHEN I HEARD A LOYD EXPLOSION ON MY RIGHT SIDE OF MY CAR. MY PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR HAD EXPLODED. THE MIRROR ITSELF WAS SHATTERED AND HANGING DOWN, THE BACK PANEL WAS FOUND IN SOME BUSHES ON THE SIDE OF THE STREET. I WAS DRIVING UP THE STREET SO CARS WERE ON MY LEFT. THERE WAS NO ONE WALKING PAST, NOR WERE THERE ANY BICYCLES OR ANYTHING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THAT COULD CAUSE SUCH DAMAGE. IT WAS VERY FRIGHTENING. I SPENT ALMOST 30MINUTES WALKING UP AND DOWN THE STREET TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED AND NOTHING MADE SENSE. THE MIRROR DID NOT TURN IN, AS WOULD HAPPEN IF I HAD HIT SOMETHING. THERE IS A BLACK MARK ON MY CAR DOOR FROM THE GLASS PIECE SLAMMING INTO IT FROM THE EXPLOSION.

I was in a car accident .A woman failed to yield at a stop sign and rammed into the front of my car at a high accelerated speed. I was restrained but the right side of my forehead hit the rearview mirror .causing two huge knots on my head. My eye glasses also smashed into my right eye and I had a cut above my eye .I was thrown to the right passenger seat area , my right hip hit the gear shift and my knees and hip , were bruised. Apparently the seatbelt failed as well , but my main complaint is that the airbags failed to deploy. I suffered damage strain and bruising to both hands, the left was worse , I was made to wear a brace . I was taken to the ER via ambulance . One of the officers assumed I wasn’t wearing a seatbelt , which was not true at all . He thought I hit the windshield but I did not , it was the mirror . I have proof , photos and all EMT and ER records report that I was restrained . A paramedic helped me remove the seatbelt to exit my car . I feel I wouldn't have suffered the head, eye and other injuries if the airbag had deployed.

ENGINE

The AC compressor is failing as it’s blowing hot air at idle or when the vehicle is running at 20-40mph. During Texas hot summers, baby & toddlers are at risk for extreme heat as the AC blows hot/warm air. The problem has been reproduce at an automotive AC shop where they have inspected the AC for leaks, vacuumed refrigerant and replaced refrigerant. Still same issues without any leaks. Police or insurance has not been involved. There are no dash lights when this happens and the issue happens daily which started 3 years ago. The vehicle is driven less because of the issue. There is a TSB T-SB-0086-14 that says this is covered within 36k mile warranty or 3 years. I bought the vehicle with 48K miles and about 2 years later the AC blows hot air at idle.

THIS IS SPORADIC, I WILL TRY TO START THE CAR AND IT DOESN'T WANT TO TURN OVER, AFTER SEVERAL TRIES, IT DOES. SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE NO POWER STEERING. WHEN DRIVING OVER SPEEDS OF SIXTY, THE CAR WANTS TO 'WANDER' TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT. I HAVE READ THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE BEFORE 2010, TALK OF RECALL IN 2010 BECAUSE OF THE POWER STEERING FAILURE. THIS IS HAPPENED VERY OFTEN SO I CAN'T PICK A DAY, IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SEVERAL MONTH
Mar 10, 2018
THE POWER STEERING IS NOT SUITABLE FOR HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF OVER 50 MPH. THIS STEERING IS SO SENSITIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THAT IT REQUIRES 150% CONCENTRATION AND EFFORT TO KEEP THE STEERING STRAIGHT. NATURAL WIND, WIND PRODUCED BY CARS, SMALL BUMPS ON THE ROADS, CONCRETE SEPARATING LINES...ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING WILL CAUSE THIS CAR TO SHIFT DIRECTION TO THE SIDES IN THE HIGHWAY. IT WAS SIMPLY POORLY DESIGNED AND NOT STIFF ENOUGH. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. IN SPORT MODE I DO BELIEVE THE POWER STEERING HARDENS/TIGHTENS A BIT BUT IT IS NOT EVEN ENOUGH. PLEASE HAVE THIS CHECKED OUT. - OWNER OF 2014 COROLLA
Aug 16, 2016
CAR WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND CAME TO A TURN AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT MOVE. THE ROAD STRAIGHTENED STILL UNABLE TO MOVE STEERING WHEEL AND JERKED IT AFTER VEERING INTO OTHER LANE WHICH UNLOCKED STEERING WHEEL CAUSING AN OVER CORRECTION AND TOTAL LOSS OF THE VEHICLE.

REAR END COLLISION HAZARD DUE TO DEFECTIVE, POORLY DESIGNED, AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHT SYSTEMS. ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED TWICE DUE TO LACK OF TAIL LIGHTS, WHILE IN MOTION, DRIVING! TOYOTA CLAIMS THE 2014 COROLLA HAS AUTO HEADLIGHTS. WHILE THE SWITCH IS KEPT IN "DRL" DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT MODE THE CAR TRICKS YOU AT NIGHT INTO THINKING THE AUTO HEADLIGHT, SIDE MARKERS AND TAILLIGHTS ARE ON AFTER STARTING THE CAR, WHEN THEY ARE NOT ON. YOU START THE CAR AND THE HEADLIGHTS, AND DASH GAGE LIGHTS COME ON BUT NOTHING ELSE IS LIT. NO TAILIGHTS, NO SIDE LIGHTS. I AM TOLD BY THE DEALER CANADIAN VERSIONS OF THE COROLLA HAVE TRUE AUTO HEADLIGHTS AND MY CAR WOULD HAVE TO BE PROGRAMMED TO WORK AS AN AUTO SYSTEM, AFTER ADDING THE DASH SENSOR. I AM REQUESTING TOYOTA DO THIS TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY HAZARD TO AVOID A REAR END COLLISION ON THIS CAR. ALL OF MY CARS THE LAST 20 YRS HAD AUTO HEADLIGHTS AND WORKED FLAWLESSLY EXCEPT THIS TOYOTA COROLLA. I EVEN PUT A NOTE ON THE DASH TO REMIND ME TO MANUALLY TURN THE LIGHT SWITCH ON, BUT IT IS NOT SEEN IN THE DARK WHEN STARTING THE CAR. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO OTHER THAN APPEAL TO THE NHTSA FOR A COMPLETE REVIEW OF THIS MAJOR MANUFACTURER FLAW.
Jul 15, 2018
HEADLIGHT IS ONE ASSEMBLY AND COST SO MUCH TO REPLACE THAT'S WHY WHEN THE BULBS GETS BURNT OUT OWNERS WILL JUST WAIT UNTIL THE OTHER ONE GETS BURNT ALSO BECAUSE IT IS TOO EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY NOT LIKE OTHER CARS THAT YOU CAN REPLACE THE BULBS FOR LESS THAN $5.00 BUT WITH THIS CAR IT IS LIKE $250 TO REPLACE A BURNT HEADLIGHT. PEOPLE WHO DRIVE THIS COROLLA'S ARE TAKING THEIR RISK SPECIALLY AT NIGHT DRIVING WITHOUT SUFFICIENT LIGHTS BECAUSE IT IS TOO EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE. PLEASE CHECK ON THIS, THANKS.

Mar 24, 2019
MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK ON THE LOW FUNCTIONS BUT HAVE NOT WORKED ON THE FAST SPEED FOR AS LONG AS I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY STATED MY VEHICLE WAS NOT AFFECTED BY THE RECALL FOR THE SHORT IN THE WINDSHIELD WIPER SWITCH. THIS CAUSES A VISIBILITY ISSUE WHEN DRIVING IN RAIN. THE WIPERS STOP COMPLETELY WHEN SWITCHING FROM SLOW TO FAST SPEED SO I CAN ONLY USE THE LOW SPEEDS WHICH DOES NOT HELP MUCH DURING STORMS.

SEVERAL TIMES I CAME TOO CLOSE TO HITTING A CAR ON MY RIGHT SIDE THAT I COULD BARELY SEE BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE CAR IS MADE. THE BACK HALF OF THE CAR'S ROOF IS HELD UP BY TWO "POSTS" (I DON'T KNOW THEIR REAL NAME). THESE ARE WIDE ENOUGH THAT THEY BLOCK A LOT OF MY VISION WHEN I AM TRYING TO DECIDE IF IT IS SAFE TO CHANGE INTO THE LANE ON MY RIGHT. WHEN THIS IS COMBINED WITH THE RIGHT, REAR HEADREST, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE A CAR IF HE IS IN THAT HUGE BLINDSPOT. THIS DESIGN IS VERY DANGEROUS.

SERVICE BRAKES

PURCHASED CAR USED (7000 MILES) FROM TOYOTA DEALER IN ACTON, MA. TOOK IN FOR CHECKUP EVERY 5000 MILES UNTIL 35,000 MILES. AT 38,000 MILES, TOOK OFF FRONT WHEELS TO CHECK BRAKES AND FOUND THAT THE INSIDE OF BOTH ROTORS WERE TERRIFICALLY GROOVED AND THE PADS THE SAME, WHILE THE OUTSIDE OF THE ROTORS WAS GOOD AND THE OUTSIDE PADS HARDLY USED. THE BRAKE CALIPERS ON BOTH SIDES WERE FROZEN. I REPLACED EVERYTHING AND SHOWED THE DEALERSHIP MY PICTURES. THEY SAID THEY WOULD TALK TO THEIR STAFF AND OFFERED NO HELP, SO I PAID FOR EVERYTHING. THIS WAS UNSAFE AND OBVIOUSLY MISSED MULTIPLE TIMES ON THE "160-POINT INSPECTION"! IT LOOKED LIKE A PROBLEM FROM WHEN THE CAR WAS NEW AND FIRST USED AS A RENTAL BY THE DEALER. THE BRAKES MADE LITTLE EXTRA SOUND(BUT THE SCRAPING WOULD HAVE BEEN UNDER THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT) AND THE BRAKES STOPPED THE CAR OKAY WITH JUST A LITTLE EXTRA PRESSURE---I THOUGHT IT WAS NORMAL FOR THIS CAR.

I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN 2 CAR ACCIDENTS WHERE I REAR ENDED BOTH CARS DUE TO BRAKE FAILURE. ONE OF THOSE WAS TODAY. IN BOTH SITUATIONS, WE WERE AT A RED LIGHT AND THE CAR BEFORE ME ACCELERATED BECAUSE THE LIGHT CHANGED AND SUDDENLY STOPPED. I ALSO ACCELERATED NOT EVEN REACHING 10 MPH AND I HAD TO JAM THE BREAKS. I WAS AT A REASONABLE DISTANCE WHERE WITH PROPER BREAKS I WOULD HAVE STOPPED SOON ENOUGH AND NOT HIT THE CAR, BUT UNFORTUNATELY IN BOTH CASES MY BRAKE PEDAL SANK IN A LITTLE FURTHER AND VIBRATED. THE CAR CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD AND HIT THE CAR. BECAUSE IT WAS A SUDDEN STOP, TIRES WOULD HAVE SCREECHED BECAUSE OF THE JAMMING OF THE BREAKS, BUT THAT REALLY DIDN'T HAPPEN AND THE CAR JUST KEPT GOING.

MY 2014 TOYOTA COROLLA LE IS A LEASE I PICKED UP IN DECEMBER 2013 & NOW HAS 3641 MILES ON IT. I FIRST NOTICED THIS ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES WITHIN FIRST MONTH BUT FELT BECAUSE THE 2011 COROLLA I JUST TURNED IN WAS A DIFFERENT MODEL (NOT LE) & MANY CHANGES IN 2014 MODEL THAT PERHAPS I SHOULD GIVE IT MORE TIME. THE PROBLEM IS WHEN I STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT I MUST PUT A LOT OF PRESSURE ON BRAKE PEDAL & PRESS IT DOWN TO THE FLOOR AS FAR AS IT WILL GO OTHERWISE CAR WILL START TO ROLL. I HAD IT CHECKED SEVERAL TIMES AT TOYOTA DEALERS & NO ONE CAN FIND ANYTHING WRONG SO I'VE BEEN LIVING WITH IT. LAST WEEK I HAD A CHANCE TO DRIVE A DIFFERENT 2014 TOYOTA COROLLA & BRAKE REACTIONS DIFFERENT I DID NOT HAVE TO PRESS DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AS HARD OR AS FAR AS I DO WITH MINE. ON 3/17/2015 I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO TOYOTA DEALER FOR BRAKES CHECK ONLY & TECH CHECKED SYSTEM FOR CODES (?) & DID TEST DRIVE BY HIMSELF & STATED HE DID NOT NOTICE ANYTHING WRONG, THEN HE DID TEST DRIVE WITH ME DRIVING TO SEE IF I COULD 'RECREATE' THE ISSUE & ALTHOUGH THIS TECH ADMITTED HE COULD SEE I HAD THE BRAKE PEDAL PUSHED DOWN TO THE FLOOR THE ROLLING AT LIGHT DID NOT OCCUR (OF COURSE).THE TECH TOLD ME AS FAR AS THE OTHER 2014 COROLLA'S BRAKE PEDAL REACTIONS THAT TOYOTA MIGHT HAVE DRUM BRAKES ON IT (?) & MY CAR HAS DISC BRAKES.THE TECH ALSO TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO ADJUST, FIX OR REPAIR DISC BRAKES(?) WILL HAVE TO TAKE HIS WORD FOR IT. IN ANY EVENT I WAS TOLD ME TO KEEP A WATCH IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN, ALSO IF CAR IS COLD OR HOT & SOMETIMES CAR WILL ROLL AUTOMATICALLY AT A LIGHT DUE TO A/C GOING ON & OFF & REGULATING ITSELF (WILL HAVE TO TAKE TECH'S WORD).THE ONLY THING I KNOW IS AT A STOP LIGHT IF I DON'T HOLD THAT BRAKE PEDAL DOWN HARD & AS FAR TO THE FLOOR AS I CAN THE CAR WILL ROLL WHICH TO ME IS DANGEROUS; HAVEN'T HIT ANYONE OR ANYTHING BUT TO ME THIS DOESN'T SEEM NORMAL OR RIGHT TO ME. *TR

WE PURCHASED MY CAR IN 2014 NEW. COME 2015 WE HAD TO REPLACE THE CHARCOAL CANISTER. I BELIEVE THE CAR HAD @60,000 MILES (YES, THAT'S A LOT BUT THOSE ARE MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES)ON IT AT THIS TIME. LUCKILY IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. 7/ 2019 WE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. LESS THAN 60, 000 MILES MORE HAD BEEN PUT ON AT THIS TIME. GUESS WHAT NO WARRANTY.! $1,000 LATER WE HAVE A NEW CHARCOAL CANISTER. IT IS NOW 2/2020 , WE ARE AT 145,000 MILES NOW AND GUESS WHAT? SAME PROBLEM. WE'VE CHANGED GAS CAPS. WE'VE DONE FUEL TREATMENTS. WE ARE NOW WAITING ON CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME BACK ON SO WE CAN TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP (WHY IS IT OFF? BECAUSE WE JUST PURCHASED THE 3RD GAS CAP IN 6MTHS AND HAD TO RESET IT TO SEE IF THE GAS CAP WAS THE CAUSE.) PROBLEMS: CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, I COULD HEAR THE FUEL BEING PUSHED THROUGH THE LINES, IT WOULD MISS AS YOU GIVE IT GAS.SOMETIMES IT'SWHEN YOU ARE TAKING OFF BUT IT DONE IT WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY ALSO, THE CRUISING RANGE IS NOT ACCURATE (EX: I JUST FILLED UP. USUALLY IT GIVES ME 428 MILES NOW ITS TELLING ME 376) AND THE ECO LIGHT GOES OFF. NOW THE 1ST 2 TIMES WERE KIND OF DIFFERENT THAN THIS TIME. I THINK WERE ARE IN THE BEGINNING STAGES AT THIS POINT NOW FOR THE 3RD TIME.

While car was in for oil change and tire rotation, it was noted that the driver's side front tire had substantial wear on the inside of the tire. It looks like the inside of the tire was ground down causing an indention. Mechanic thinks the belt may have shifted. Said he had never seen it before.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA COROLLA EQUIPPED WITH HANKOOK PMX9724 TIRES, SIZE: P205/55R16. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT ABRUPTLY. THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A CEMENT GUARD. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE FOREHEAD AND FRACTURED THE RIGHT BIG TOE. THE FRONT PASSENGER SUSTAINED CUTS AND BURNS ON THE RIGHT ARM AND THE RIBS WERE FRACTURED DUE TO THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. BOTH THE DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE VEHICLE AND TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,600.

IN DEC 2013 THE LEASE END ON MY 2011 COROLLA WAS COMING DUE SO I PICKED UP A 2014 TOYOTA COROLLA LE LEASE ON 12/4/2013. THIS VEHICLE HAD 8 MILES ON IT & WAS EQUIPPED WITH PROXES 4 PLUS 205/55/R16 TIRES ( I HAVE THE ID NUMBERS FROM EACH TIRE IF YOU NEED THEM). ON 2/26/14 THIS VEHICLE HAD 492 MILES ON IT & I NOTICED THE LEFT REAR TIRE HAD A LARGE ODD SHAPED CUT IN IT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OUTSIDE TREAD AREA. I WENT TO SUNTOYOTA IN HOLIDAY FLA TOOK PICS OF THE TIRE DAMAGE & THE SERVICE REP [XXX] TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T HAVE A REPLACEMENT TIRE IN THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER ONE. I HAD PURCHASED ROAD HAZARD TIRE COVERAGE AT THE TIME I LEASED THE CAR & "ASSUMED" THIS ODD CUT CAME FROM ROAD CONSTRUCTION IN THE AREA SO I WASN'T CONCERNED. I HAD TO LEAVE THIS 2014 COROLLA AT DEALERSHIP FOR A GAS TANK ISSUE WHICH WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY SO I CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY PUT IN A CLAIM FOR THAT ISSUE & RENTED A CAR. ON 2/28/14 I WENT BACK TO SUNTOYOTA TO PICK UP MY CAR & WHEN I LOOKED AT THE REPLACEMENT TIRE I ASKED IF IT WAS 'NEW' & WAS TOLD YES IT WAS ALTHOUGH IT DIDN'T APPEAR TO ME IT WAS; I AM NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THIS DEALER. [XXX] ALSO SAID THAT FIDELITY WARRANTY SERVICE WASN'T HAPPY ABOUT REPLACING A TIRE THAT ONLY HAD 492 MILES ON IT SO WE HAD WORDS OVER THAT. NOW ON APPROXIMATELY 3/26/14 I NOTICED THIS REPLACEMENT TIRE HAS WHAT LOOKS LIKE STRESS LINE CRACKS STRAIGHT ACROSS THE WIDTH OF THE TIRE (TOOK PICS) IN 2 PLACES & CAR ONLY HAS 644 MILES ON IT. OBVIOUSLY I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS & MY SAFETY AS WELL AS THE SAFETY OF OTHERS RIDING NEAR ME SHOULD THIS TIRE COME APART. I HAVE LOOKED TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY ISSUES WITH THIS TIRE BUT CANNOT FIND ANY RECENT ONES. I WILL ONCE AGAIN REPORT THIS ISSUE TO SE TOYOTA BUT I AM REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE NOT ONLY WITH THE TIRE BUT DEFINITELY WITH THIS DEALER & SERVICE DEPARTMENT BUT NEED TO PROTECT MY SAFETY IN THE EVENT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THESE TIRES. 2014 COROLLA'S ALSO HAVE "DESIGN FLAWS"..

ON 6/19/2016 DRIVING HOME FROM RUNNING ERRANDS, I STOPPED AT AT RED LIGHT BUT WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, THE CAR DIDN'T BUDGE EVEN THOUGH I WAS TAPPING AND PRESSING THE PEDAL. AFTER ABOUT 7-8 SECONDS, THE CAR FINALLY RESPONDED AND STARTED SLOWLY ROLLING TO NORMAL SPEED. ON THE SAME TRIP AND THE LAST INTERSECTION, THE CAR DID THIS AGAIN BUT AT A STOP SIGN. THE GAS PEDAL WAS DEAD WHEN COMING OUT OF A COMPLETE STOP. IT TOOK ANOTHER 7-8 SECONDS FOR THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION TO RECOGNIZE IT WAS TIME TO ROLL. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO CROSS TRAFFIC BECAUSE I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN HIT DUE TO CRUISING AT 5 MILES PER HOUR. I'M TAKING THE CAR TOMORROW TO THE DEALER. THE CAR CURRENTLY HAS 24,000 MILES ON IT AND THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED. THE FIRST TIME THIS HESITATION HAPPENED WAS IN 2015 AROUND THE 12,000 MILE MARK. THE CAR WAS AT STOP AND DIDN'T DO ANYTHING FOR A FEW SECONDS WHEN I HIT THE GAS PEDAL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I TOLD THEM EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED AND WHY I TOOK IT. THIS TIME THEY SENT A SERVICE MANAGER WITH ME FOR A TEST DRIVE AND HE SAID IT FELT FINE. I WAS SENT HOME WITH THEIR ASSURANCE THAT THE CAR WAS FINE AND THAT IT WAS A FLUKE THAT THE ENGINE WAS ACTING UP BUT EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I'VE READ FORUMS WHERE THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH OTHER COROLLAS AND CAMRYS. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I HOPE TOYOTA TAKES RESPONSIBILITIES WITH MY CAR AND OTHER CARS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. NHTSA, PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE THIS TRANSMISSION/ACCELERATION ISSUE BECOMES A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE VIDEO ON MY CELL PHONE OF THE CAR ACTING ERRATIC.

I WAS DRIVING MY COROLLA S PLUS 2014 ON EL CAMINO REAL, SAN MATEO, CA SOUTHBOUND JUST PAST HILLSDALE BLVD, WHEN THE ENGINE BECAME VERY NOISY. I LOOKED AT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND FOUND THE FOLLOWINGS DATA: 1) RPM METER - 3500 2) SPEEDOMETER - 30MPH 3) LCD DISPLAY - ECO BAR GONE THE CAR BEHAVED THE SAME EVEN WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT COMPLETELY OFF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. TRANSMISSION DEFECT AND/OR COMPUTER MALFUNCTION? LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL MY CAR TO THE ROADSIDE AND BRAKED TO A STOP. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. AFTER 2-3 MINUTES, I STARTED THE ENGINE AND ALL RETURNED TO NORMAL. THE EXACT SAME HAPPENING OCCURRED TO ME JUST 2 DAYS LATER ON MARCH 19, 2014. IT COULD BE VERY SCARY IF THE ENGINE SUDDENLY REVS UP AND THE CAR SPEEDS UP AT THE SAME TIME. I WONDER IF OTHER OWNERS OF 2014 COROLLA HAVE SIMILAR EXPERIENCES. IF SO, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS TO BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

SEATS
3 complaints
VEHICLE FEATURES "WHIPLASH INJURY LESSENING" ("WIL") SEATS. I ARGUE THESE SEATS LED TO DRAMATICALLY SEVERE INJURIES. THE LITERATURE PUBLISHED BY TOYOTA IN CONNECTION WITH THE ALLEGED SAFETY OF THE SEATS IMPLICITLY STATES THAT BENEFITS INURE TO THOSE IN LOWER-SPEED REAR-END COLLISIONS. NO STUDY SEEMS TO INDICATE SEVERITY OF HIGHER-SPEED REAR-END COLLISIONS. SPECIFICALLY, WHETHER OR NOT WIL SEATS ACTUALLY BENEFIT LOW-SPEED REAR-END COLLISION INJURIES WHILE WORSENING HIGH-SPEED REAR-END COLLISION INJURIES. I HYPOTHESIZE THAT THEY WORSEN HIGH-SPEED REAR-END COLLISION INJURIES, GREATLY. I WAS IN A REAR-END COLLISION INVOLVING A VEHICLE HITTING THE TOYOTA COROLLA WITH WIL SEATS I WAS DRIVING AT OR ABOVE 75 MPH. I SUFFERED 7+ SLIPPED DISCS ALONG SPINE, AS WELL AS A FRACTURED VERTEBRAE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AS IT WAS STRUCK FROM THE REAR, AND THE VEHICLE I WAS DRIVING WAS MOVING AT OR ABOUT 75MPH. THE VEHICLE COLLIDING WITH MY VEHICLE WAS DRIVING 75+ MPH.

MY COMPLAINT IS NOT WITH TOYOTA, IT IS WITH THE NEW STANDARDS THAT REQUIRE AN EXTREME ANGLE IN THE HEADRESTS OF NEW VEHICLES. I AM UNABLE TO USE THE HEADREST IN MY CAR UNLESS I ADJUST THE SEAT TO RECLINE AND USE A CUSHION BEHIND ME. THE OWNER'S MANUAL ADVISES AGAINST BOTH PRACTICES, AND THEY DON'T SEEM VERY SAFE TO ME. WHEN I SIT PROPERLY, THE HEADREST FORCES MY CHIN INTO MY CHEST AND CAUSES NECK PAIN AND HEADACHES. THE HEADREST ANGLE IS NOT ADJUSTABLE. MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AS WELL. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS NEW CONFIGURATION IS REQUIRED BY YOUR STANDARDS TO PREVENT WHIPLASH INJURIES IN ACCIDENTS. PLEASE RECONSIDER YOUR RULING ON THIS ISSUE AND ALLOW US TO DRIVE SAFELY AND COMFORTABLY WITH ADJUSTABLE HEADRESTS. IS IT BETTER TO INJURE ALL OF US TO PREVENT WHIPLASH IN THE FEW WHO GET HIT? *TR

On 11/30/2022 The CHECK light came on. After checking my Toyota manual it showed several reasons for the light. I called the Toyota Dealer (Bryan Easler, Hendersonville, NC) made an appointment for general service and inspection as to why the warning light came on. Was told the warning light was result of rodents chewing through the gas line causing fuel leak. This also happened about three years ago. Because the fuel system is all one piece it couldn't be repaired. I had to pay for a whole new fuel line system, second time I have had to pay for a whole new fuel system. There is no Toyota dealer my my area so I have to travel about forty miles for service. I am a very elderly half cripple woman long distance driving is tiring and dangerous for me, driving with a leaking gas line is dangerous for anyone. This is the second time I've dealt with this problem. There is something seriously wrong with a fuel line being exposed so animals can chew through it. It means I may have to replace it every time a rodent decides to dine on the fuel line. Where can I park and feel safe my gas line won't be destroyed? Not to mention all the other dangers a leaking fuel line can cause. It makes no sense why Toyota would manufacture such a disaster on any car.

The infotainment system touch functionality is broken. The lower part of the touchscreen does not respond to touches. This is apparently due to the faulty digitizer layer. The infotainment system is used for everything from accessing the media, to car settings configuration, to properly interacting and setting the phone for hands-free phone calls communication as required by the vehicular laws in my state (California) and many others. This presents a large safety risk, as the driver can be become heavily distracted operating the system. Per my research, this is a widespread problem across the entire Toyota lineup and affects many models and multiple years around 2014 (particular after 2014). You can easily find this problem reported across the internet in many forums and Youtube videos. Although Toyota has issued some TSB's, it looks like, they are only covered in warranty. Toyota refuses to take responsibility for it and does not have any recalls for and the dealer will charge around $1000 to fix it, by changing the infotainment system.

Vehicle stopped accelerating while on highway leading to dangerous slow down with 2 little kids in the car. Car would no longer accelerate despite engine running. Check engine light turned on. Toyota dealer ran diagnostics and found vvti actuator had internally failed. This was a very expensive replacement. I worry that a previous recall for ECM module update came too late before damage had already occured to the vvti actuator prematurely. Car is well taken care of and only 100k miles.

MY CAR ALSO HAS A NON FUNCTIONAL AUDIO SYSTEM AND NON FUNCTIONING CHARGER OUTLET. THIS IS A HAZARD BECAUSE I USUALLY TRAVEL AND NEED MY NAVIGATION SYSTEM FUNCTIONING TO GET TO PLACES. DUE TO A NON FUNCTIONAL AUDIO SYSTEM I DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO NAVIGATION. I USE MY PHONE AS NAVIGATION AND WHEN MY PHONE BATTERY DIES I HAVE NO WAY OF PLUGGING IT TO CHARGE IN MY CAR. ON CERTAIN OCCASIONS I'VE FOUND MYSELF HAVING TO PULL OVER IN UNFAMILIAR CITIES JUST TO LOOK FOR A PLACE WHERE I CAN PLUG MY PHONE IN TO GET BATTERY, PUT THE NAVIGATION AND CONTINUE TO MY DESTINATION.

THE TIMING CHAIN CABLE WAS LEAKING OIL AND THEY REPLACED IT. IT HAS NOT RAN THE SAME SINCE. IT CONTINUES TO HESITATE TO ALMOST STALLING OUT DURING TAKEOFF AT RED LIGHTS AND INTERSECTIONS. IT'S ACCELERATION IS TERRIBLE EVEN FOR A 4 CYLINDER. WE HAVE BEEN COOPERATIVE FOR THE 3 YEARS WITH TOYOTA, BUT NOW THAT THE WARRANTY IS VOID DUE TO THE 3 YEARS, AND NOT THE MILEAGE, WE NO LONGER RECEIVE SUCH A HELPFUL CONVERSATION WITH ANY OF THE MANAGERS THERE. THE CAR IS STILL UNDER 25,000 MILES, AND HAS BEEN A TOTAL LEMON TO US. WE'VE EXHAUSTED ALL HOPES OF THEM FIXING THE REAL PROBLEM SINCE THEY CONTINUE TO CLAIM THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY SUCH PROBLEM IN THE ACCELERATION ISSUES AND STALLING IN THE INTERSECTIONS. WE WILL NEVER AGAIN PURCHASE A TOYOTA VEHICLE EVER AGAIN. WE HAVE PURCHASED MANY TOYOTA'S IN THE PAST, WHICH PROMPTED US TO BUY ANOTHER. BUT AFTER THIS CAR, AND POOR MECHANICS AND SERVICE MANAGEMENT, WE WILL REFRAIN FROM ANOTHER TOYOTA, EVER.

THE FOLLOWING MORNING I HAD A TOW TRUCK HAUL THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER THAT I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER WAS ABLE TO STRAIGHTEN OUT THE WHEEL IN ORDER TO GET THE VEHICLE ON THE TRUCK. THE DRIVER COMMENTED " YOU ARE SOME FORTUNATE THAT YOU WEREN'T TRAVELING ANY FASTER YOU WOULD HAVE NO CONTROL OVER YOUR STEERING!" THE DEALER LET ME KNOW THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDS AN INNER AND OUTER TIE ROD, SWAY BAR LINK, A STRUT ASSEMBLY AND A NEW AXLE!!

ALMOST HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US. TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TELLS US THIS HESITATION IS ABSOLUTELY NORMAL, DUE TO A NEW TRANSMISSION SYSTEM ON THE 2014 COROLLA... ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THIS SO CALLED HESITATION LASTED SEVERAL SECONDS DURING WHICH TIME WE HAD NO MOVEMENT WHAT SO EVER...WITH THIS CONDITION CARS COULD HIT US IN THE BACK CAUSE WE ARE MOMENTARILY STALLED!!!POOR PERFORMANCE AND A SAFETY ISSUE!

I WAS NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE LIGHT SWITCH ON THE VEHICLE THAT I HAD JUST PURCHASED AND BELIEVED THAT I HAD TURNED ON THE LIGHTS OF MY VEHICLE. IN REALITY I WAS DRIVING WITH THE TAILLIGHTS OFF BECAUSE THE LIGHT SWITCH WAS IN THE "DLR" POSITION. (THE LIGHT SWITCH IS BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL WITH SMALL LETTERS THAT CAN'T BE READ IN THE DARK). THERE IS NO INDICATION THAT THE TAILLIGHTS ARE OFF WHEN THE SWITCH IS IN THIS POSITION. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON AS WELL AS THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATION. SINCE THEN I HAVE SEEN THE SAME VEHICLE / MODEL YEAR DRIVING WITHOUT TAILLIGHTS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT IN APPROXIMATELY 5 OCCASIONS. I BELIEVE THAT SOONER OR LATER THIS DESIGN FLAW WILL CAUSE ACCIDENTS. *TR

TOYOTA REDESIGNED THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND WENT FROM A SINGLE CLEAR COVER ANGLED TOWARDS THE FRONT TO 2 SEPARATE INSTRUMENT COVERS ANGLED TOWARDS THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE. THE DESIGN OF THESE COVERS RESULTS IN EXTREME REFLECTIONS MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO READ THE SPEEDOMETER DURING MORNING AND AFTERNOON HOURS WHEN THE SUN ENTERS THE VEHICLE FROM THE SIDE. THE REFLECTIONS UNDER THESE CONDITIONS ARE SO EXTREME THAT I CAN'T EVEN SEE THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE. TINTING THE WINDOWS DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. TOYOTA'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO FIX THE ISSUE. ON JULY, 03, 2014 I HAD TO GUESS MY SPEED BECAUSE THE SPEEDOMETER WAS UNREADABLE. I RECEIVED A SPEEDING TICKET SAYING THAT I WAS GOING AT A SPEED WHICH WOULD MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO AVOID A COLLISION. I HAVE DRIVEN OVER 20 DIFFERENT CARS IN MY LIFE AND NEVER HAD A SITUATION WHERE I WAS NOT ABLE TO READ THE SPEEDOMETER, EVEN IN MY 1968 OLDSMOBILE. TO MY UNDERSTANDING, A CAR MANUFACTURER HAS TO DESIGN THE SPEEDOMETER THE WAY THAT IT CAN BE READ UNDER ANY CONDITIONS WHICH IS POSSIBLE. IT APPEARS THAT TOYOTA'S ENGINEERS TOTALLY NEGLECTED THE PROBLEM OF SUNLIGHT REFLECTIONS WHEN DESIGNING THE 2014 COROLLA INSTRUMENT PANEL. *TR

AFTER BEING DRIVEN FOR LESS THAN 200 MILES OF BEING RECEIVED FROM DEALERSHIP FOR A DEFECTIVE CVT TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT, DIFFICULTIES TO KEEP THE CAR GOING STRAIGHT SUDDENLY APPEARED, TRYING TO DO SO CAUSED IT TO PULL THE OPPOSITE DURING A SUBURBAN TRIP IN A HIGH SPEED WAY, SO HAD TO BE DRIVEN TO A SAFER PLACE, (GETTING WORSE RAPIDLY), AND MAKING CLUNKING METALLIC NOISES ON THE FRONT END WHEN TURNING AT CORNERS AND BRAKING, AND A LOUD HUMMING NOISE WHEN BRAKING FROM HIGHWAY SPEED (APPEARED AT THE SAME TIME AND AS SUDDEN AS THE STEERING SITUATION) TO A FULL STOP OR FROM HIGHWAY SPEED TO A SUDDEN LOWER ONE DUE TO CONGESTION. ALL THIS HAPPENED TO APPEAR ON THIS LAST TRIP. HAD TO BE TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. CONDITION SHOWED UP DURING A CONTINUOUS RAINY CONDITION, PERCEIVED LIKE A TOTAL LOSS OF FRONT END ALIGNMENT, PLUS THE NOISES. AS OF THE WRITING OF THIS MESSAGE, JUST A FEW HOURS HAVE PASSED AFTER THE INCIDENT HAPPENED, BUT BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS "COLLISION SITUATION " EXPERIENCED, DUE THE SPEED OF THE HIGHWAY IN WHICH THIS CONDITION SUDDENLY APPEARED (NOTHING WARNED ABOUT SOMETHING WRONG GOING BEFORE) IS THIS REPORT BEING SENT. MAYBE CAUSED BY OR RELATED TO THE PROCEDURE EXECUTED DURING THE PREVIOUS CVT TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT, (MY OPINION) HAS NOT YET BEEN DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALERSHIP. *TR
