EPB Shift Interlock Function Activated message on the dashboard briefly before start-up. This has occurred even though the car hasn't had any issues before. The braking system is functional, except regardless of time and temperature, the message still displays. The car's battery is in good condition and no low power level is displayed.

M car was towed to Toyota because my automatic parking brake failed to release. No warning lights nor any indication my battery was low. It licked my rear wheels so I could not drive. (Thank God I was not in a fire zone requiring evacuation!) there are NO manual release for the emergency brake to use in an emergency to flee an area. They said my battery was not carrying the load, and replaced it. This is a very serious safety issue! What if it was a Sunday and Toyota closed?? Most repair shops are closed on Sundays! I’m [XXX] and [XXX]. PLEASE ADVISE TOYOTA TO ADD OR RETROFIT A MANUAL PARKING BRAKE RELEASE to resolve this issue. AND….check to make sure their analysis was correct that my battery was too low!

My engine stalled while driving. My low tire pressure light came on and an hour or so later I was turning left at a light. My left turn signal was on. Suddenly my car stalled and the message that stated Put in park, steering power low showed on screen. Put car in park and restarted and it started right up. Dealer said no codes and could not replicate. Only 18,000 miles on car. Huge safety issue!!!!!

Hi, I recently relocated from Vancouver, Canada to Seattle, Washington, and I am in the process of importing my Canadian-purchased 2022 Toyota Corolla into the United States. I have already contacted Toyota Canada, but they informed me that they do not issue compliance letters for vehicles distributed under Canadian regulations. I then contacted Toyota USA, who confirmed that this matter falls under NHTSA’s responsibility and advised me to request the compliance letter directly from you. Therefore, I respectfully request that NHTSA to solve this issue so that I may complete the import process in compliance with U.S. regulations. Please advise me on the next steps to obtain this letter, including any required forms or supporting documentation I should provide. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

I was at a red light and when it turned green, I had the clutch in and was in first gear, but as soon as I barely lifted my foot, the car started moving forward on its own. I almost rolled into the car in front of me. At first, I thought maybe it was just me or the shoes but then I noticed the clutch felt like it was getting stuck while pressed. When I tried changing gears, it made a metal-on-metal scratching noise.When I was coming to a stop, the car wouldn’t slow down properly because the clutch wasn’t responding. I couldn’t press it in, and since there were pedestrians nearby, I had to slow the car down by shifting gears without using the clutch and pedestrians got anxious and mad around me because they had to speed up to the safe side, pulled to the side and checked the pedal, thinking maybe something was in the way, but when I pumped it a few times, it started working again. for a moment. Then at another red light, the clutch pedal went soft and wouldn’t engage again. I couldn’t move the car. Eventually, it turned off, and I managed to get it into first gear and restart it, but the car jumped forward as soon as it started. I kept pressing gas and going, but I couldn’t shift into second gear anymore. Traffic was building up and I barely made it to a safe spot near a crosswalk. It felt unsafe to drive. And had to be tow then I did some bleedings and changed fluids no response. After finally being seing by toyota and researching; all Toyota Corolla from 2020 and up have this problem the so called Clutch Master Cylinder it breaks so premature my car barely has 41k miles on it. Unacceptable and warranty wont cover it

Toyota defectively designed and/or manufactured coolant bypass valves ("the Defect") that prematurely fail. When the Defect manifests, coolant leaks out of the closed-loop coolant system. This adversely impacts the ability of the coolant system to properly regulate the temperature of the engine, and can lead to engine overheating, stalling, increased emissions and catastrophic engine failure. In addition, the leaking coolant can leak into the surrounding engine components, including the electrical system, and damage those components. The leaking coolant can also corrode the sensor on the coolant bypass valve, which causes it to remain stuck in the "open" or "closed" position and thus impedes its ability to properly direct coolant throughout the engine, thereby impeding the ability of the engine to operate within the appropriate parameters. When the Defect manifests, it also causes a message to appear on the dashboard over the speedometer, which states: "Engine Maintenance Required" and "Visit Your Dealer." The message cannot be dismissed or otherwise removed from the dash of the Class Vehicle by the operator of the Class vehicle, and instead must be brought to a dealership or to a mechanic. The message is distracting and obscures a significant portion of the speedometer. blocks other important, safety-related messages that are intended to display in the same area of the dash occupied by the message. Cars system reads “engine maintenance required” due to coolant bypass valve, car is only at 42,000 (6,000 miles past warranty) was told it’s not covered under powertrain warranty and was charged almost $1000 to get it fixed

The moonroof exploded while driving alone on a 4 lane highway. No other vehicles were near me and I saw no evidence of being struck by a foreign body. If I had the interior cover open I could have been cut by the broken glass and the possibility of glass flying from my car could have endangered other vehicles or pedestrians. I did not have the interior cover open so was not injured and no other vehicles or pedestrians were effected, thank God! The dealer set me up an appointment 4 days from now but I am going to contact the service manager first thing tomorrow morning. There was no warning either electronically or physically. I consider the vehicle unsafe to drive.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

2022 Toyota Corolla Hybrid Touchscreen/Infotainment Display randomly shut down while driving without warning and no longer functions. This could not be reset by holding the power button or disconnecting the vehicle battery. The backup camera still works, and the radio can be heard when the power button is pressed, but the display remains on a black screen and none of the controls on the steering wheel or headunit work. At night, the lights on the buttons for the multimedia display turn on and off every 10 seconds which is extremely distracting and has the potential to cause an accident. This defective part serves as a safety issue, as this is where critical maintenance and hybrid battery power related errors displayed. In addition there are many critical controls locked behind the screen related to door locks, hybrid battery usage, and other vehicle controls, as well as personal data that may now be at risk and unable to be able to be deleted. Vehicle was inspected by a Lia Toyota of Rockland Dealership Service department and determined to be a faulty display, requiring a compete unit replacement. The quoted cost is $2500, and despite my car having only 35500 miles, this is not covered under any warranty due to being outside the 36 month time window. The multimedia display in this car is a critical component and is just as vital to the car as the engine/transmission. It is a shame that Toyota reliability is a thing of the past.

Mechanical failure of the headlight assembly system. Sensors for the headlight assembly is sending false failure alerts.

Nov 17, 2025

I think headlights are really dim in night driving. On the flat road it’s okay but on the curvy and hilly turns you barely can see anything. It is either dim or the headlights are aim too low . you can’t see the road clearly and farther.

Jan 22, 2024

My car's headlights are manufactured improperly so that the driver's side is far more illuminated than the passenger side. To be more clear, the cone of which the headlight service, around 10 to 15 degrees near the edge is not similar in brightness. If an animal or a person were to cross in front of my vehicle from the right. I would be less aware of them than I would on the left. This would put me and others at greater risk of an incident occurring. I have also looked on forums to see if others were having to same issues, and I have found that a large number of people are experiencing the same problem. I also took my car to the Santa Maria Toyota service center to have this issue fixed. They stated that the headlights can not be replaced or positioned to fix the problem. They stated that the headlight can only be positioned up and down. They are not able to be moved light or right. I also have documentation stating that they compared my car headlights to another car, that is the same year and model, with the same problem. I add this document as well.

The low beams on my car cast to shadows beyond the visible lighted area of the beams but beyond the shadows is dark , no penetration through the shadows restricting my view down the road and I have to switch to high beams to actually see down the road. I've been driving cars for 72 years and I have never had this problem. I love the car but hate driving it at night ! I've reported this to m dealer but my results were that the problem was only my opinion. I paid 27,000 dollars for the car and that kind of service stinks. Need help !

Exterior headlight design is a big safety issue when driving at night. The low beams do not offer enough lighting when going around turns or hills. Even on flat roads it is not enough and very dangerous. The high beams help but are also not providing the visibility needed at night . When raining and using low beams at night it’s like driving in the dark! Please redesign!

I was driving on expressway to Sharonville, OH on Wednesday, Oct 5 2023 and it started to rain so I tried to put on my wipers and they did not work. I tried to see if they were stuck and by cleaning them but still did not work. I could not see that well, luckily I had rain x on the front windshield so the rain would wash off. I called Toyota in Sharonville area and they told me to bring it in the next morning. I went to the park and then started the wipers and they started back up again. Toyota in Sharonville told me they could do anything unless they saw it not working. This has happen before a couple of times and I reported to Elizabethtown, KY where i get my free maintenance for 2 years. They told me the same thing there that they could not do anything unless they saw them not working. I looked it up on a website and it showed they can do a non functional diagnostic/repair which would test the switch, relay and wiring to see if they are working properly. This is a safety problem which could have caused me an accident without visibility to see where I am going. I have about 2 years left on my bumper to bumper warranty and would like this problem fixed.

Soon after purchasing my car, there was a chip and crack in the windshield that had no known cause or occurred when it was not being driven. A couple months after that, there was a rock thrown up getting onto the highway that should not have broken the glass because it did not hit hard enough to typically break the glass and I also have a glass protectant on my windows. I fear there may be a defect in the glass used for the 2021/2022 Toyota Corollas because my friend with the same car, but year 2021 complained of the same problem. It should be investigated. Now I have to replace a windshield and pay a deductible because it is not covered under the extra services that I purchased for dints and dings.

The front end of this vehicle rides too low and tends to scrape the pavement on inclines, usually steep driveways or entrances/exits. If the scrape is severe it can cause one to stop possible in the lane of traffic with possible exposure to oncoming traffic. In addition, it breaks the thin plastic bumper and may negatively impact other safety features.

Rain water accumulates in the doors of a brand new car that is only 4 weeks old. The only official fix, according to Toyota and NTSA, is to remove the plugs at the bottom so the water can drain out every time it rains. This is not a fix. The water should not be accumulating in the door at all. Over time, the repeated water accumulation will cause mold, mildew, rust and damage the electrical system. This is absolutely absurd.

STEERING

3 complaints

When traveling via highway at approximately 60 MPH, the right front tire struck a small pothole. The vehicle continued driving normally until stopping at a light. Thereafter, the front right wheel started making rhythmic vibration noises while vibrating extensively, transferring to the steering wheel. Upon visual inspection, nothing appeared wrong. After driving several miles, the vibration died down to a small trickle and now remains along with humming at faster highway speeds. This imitates a broken wheel bearing that occurred on the left front tire, but the Toyota dealer has refused to acknowledge any issue let alone inspect it. This sudden - yet entirely associated with driving - impact clearly caused damage to the wheel bearing and will accelerate its failure. If this occurs at such a rate the bearing fails upon contact with such driving conditions, drivers may lose ability to control their car altogether. A similar issue occurred and was remedied by the dealer for the left wheel. This could be a design flaw resulting from placing too large of tires and too stiff suspension for the Corolla, resulting in mechanical damage whilst driving in normal conditions, which could lead to the failure of steering related mechanical components. The end result of which could be death. Such theories have not been investigated. No warning lamps displayed at any time.

My daughter was driving yesterday when the steering wheel locked suddenly. She was sideswiped by another vehicle that hit the wheel well and forced the steering to work again. The occupants of the other vehicle did not pull over so she drove on to my work where she broke down crying and explained what happened. I took the car in yesterday to diagnose any issues with the car and was told that this is a feature that Toyota has when the car hits something like a pothole at faster speeds. My daughter could not have been going terribly fast considering it was 5:00 p.m. in Los Angeles on Olympic Blvd. during the height of rush hour; however, most concerning is I was told that according to diagnostics this is the third time the car had done this due to "aggressive acceleration". They told me that the jolt from the other car hitting the wheel well must have reset the sensor so the steering wheel could start working again. They said this is a normal safety feature on all Toyota hybrids. I asked for more clarification on what exactly we should do to prevent this happening in the future and they said to accelerate slowly so the sensor has time to keep up. This seems like an incredibly unsafe feature. I emailed Toyota's corporate office for clarification but received nothing to date. I am extremely nervous to drive my car and especially to have my 16 year old daughter drive it! I do have the diagnostic printout the Toyota Service Department gave me yesterday and am happy to share if you would find it useful.

Steering wheel when traveling at high speeds and low speeds seems to excessive movement. More pressure that i apply makes it worst to steering wheel.Light grip it goes away.

please see report number 11479072 for the other information. not once person except the man i talked to there on the phone asked me if the heater went out as well and IT DID! so not only did i lose the ac i lost heat which is what i guess makes this a real problem for everyone. as its friday, after hours i have to wait until monday to contact toyota to get an appointment to confirm the heater doesnt work but just like i confirmed the ac doesnt work, when i say theres no heat, theres no heat. and the condenser is literally located right behind the front grill. there is no way to fix this on my own and i cant repair it because i was told if i drive off the lot it could literally happen again. anyone who has a toyota corolla should be specifically told about this FAILURE of a design thank you!

I was traveling on the interstate through Missouri through to Kansas to get back to California on July 5, 2022 in my brand new just got april 18 2022 toyota corolla hybrid when the entire electrical panel went out on my car. i was driving the speed limit on the interstate with the AC on in 109 degree temps when the whole electric panel went out it was out for about ten minutes before it came back on and when it did i had no AC. i was literally in the middle of the desert, there were no stops coming up, no towns, no shade, nothing! and thank god i had just dropped my nine year old son off in indiana or he could've died with me. the AC condenser on this car is located RIGHT BEHIND the front grill of the car, which has over one inch openings in it and toyota is specifically not covering this part under warranty because they know this is a faulty design. i understand and have been told that AC is a luxury but its not for that one week old baby that is going to be traveling with their family is this car and they have no idea that a PEBBLE (is what toyota told me knocked my ac out in the desert!) is going to knock their AC out and that baby will die. Toyota needs to recall this car or put a screen behind the grill i dont care but the public needs to be made aware how easy it is for the AC to be knocked out. additionally the toyota dealership here said that they can repair it for 1400$ but there's nothing to stop it from happening again as soon as i drive off the lot because there is nothing protecting the condenser. i have a brand new car that is broke and cant be repaired and toyota has told me they stand by their design and IF THEY decide to do a recall i will be notified. please notify the public about this! it is hot everywhere and children will die. i cant even go back to pick my son up and now have to fly him out because i dont have AC in my brand new car. like seriously! think of the children and the people who have no idea how easy it is to go out! thank you!

I have to wait for hours on the side of the highway for hours-to let the car cool down and add recommended coolant for the car. The vehicle was inspected by TOYOTA of San Louis Obispo. 09/29/25. I am not certain if the vehicle was inspected by the manufacturer but the service repair was done @ Toyota dealersip. The temperature or the coolant gauge moved erratically.

I bought my car Toyota Corolla coss has three months with 3,700 miles on it. and has had two times problems. The first time, on February 28 2023 at 8 a.m., I was at a traffic light stop my car about 15 seconds later when I heard a warning beep. The message read "low steering power," low battery, and then steering lock. I tried to turn off the engine button, but there was no response. I pressed it three times, put the handle stop on the park, and then started it again. My car was parked in the middle of the road, causing a traffic jam behind me, and I couldn't get out because it was dangerous. The second time in March 10.2023 3pm. after the stop at the light and anything like first time... It was rainy both times. I'm worried it's dangerous on the highway. It was raining and I had my wipers on and my stop and start system on. I haven't reported it to Toyota dealership. Both of them are in the middle of the road. I'm not sure if there are any defects in this car. Thank you!

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

1 complaint

Vehicle's cruise control got stuck and would not turn off by the brake, the cruise control off button. The only way it would shut off is by swtitching the car into “B-(Low Gear/Engine Braking). Was cruising at 70 mph, and then the cruise control kept speeding the vehicle up to 100 mph, until I switched it into the “B”-(Low Gear/Engine Braking). Now if I wasn’t familiar with this type of car this could have been a tragedy that could have taken place on August 01, 2022.
