Summary

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.

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.

I HAVE A 2014 COROLLA AND OUT OF THE BLUE WITH IN THE LAST FEW DAYS MY ENTIRE SCREEN FOR MY AUDIO AND NAVIGATION WENT BLANK ON MY CAR. IT GOES BETWEEN RUNNING A PROCESS AND THEN BACK TO A BLACK SCREEN. IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT'S VERY DISTRACTING FOR ONE, AND FOR TWO I GOT THE UPGRADED NAVIGATION SO I HAD HANDS FREE. I'M VERY DISSATISFIED AND WHEN LOOKING IT UP HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. I HAVE BEEN AN AVID TOYOTA VEHICLE OWNER AND FOR THE MOST PART BEEN HAPPY WITH THE VEHICLES. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT IS LOOKING INTO ANY POTENTIALLY RECALLED FOR THEM TO UPDATE THIS SYSTEMS THIS ISN'T SOMETHING THAT I DID OR ANYONE ELSE I'VE SEEN POSTING COMMENTS ON IT. TO KEEP LOYAL CUSTOMERS YOU HAVE TO HAVE GOOD SOLID PRODUCTS, SEEMS THAT AROUND 70,000 MILES SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. JUST AROUND THE TIME YOUR WARRANTY IS UP. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS FOR THE INTEGRITY OF YOUR TOYOTA NAME AND SAFETY FOR THOSE WHO OWN THIS MAKE AND MODEL.

Summary

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.

DRIVING MY NEW FIRST LEASE A SMALL COROLLA AND TURNING RIGHT INTO WORK... A THIRD ROW BIG OLD SUV DOING AT LEAST 35 MPH OR FASTER REAR ENDED ME AND PUSHED MY LITTLE CAR INTO A BIG DECORATIVE BOULDER AND ALMOST PINNED ME SO I COULDN'T WIGGLE MY WAY OUT OF THE WINDOW. NOT ONE AIRBAG WENT OFF AND IT WAS NOT A MINOR OR SLOW IMPACT. WEEKS LATER I UNFORTUNATELY GENTLY TAPPED A PARKED VAN MAKING A TURN FOR A STOP SIGNAL AND EVERY SINGLE AIRBAG (ONES I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WERE IN THE CAR) WENT OFF AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY DEEMED IT A TOTAL LOSS. I WAS LUCKY TO NOT HAVE BEEN INJURED IN THE FIRST ACCIDENT, HOWEVER, I FEEL THERE WAS A MALFUNCTION WITH THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS AND I COULD HAVE BEEN. TOYOTA ALSO CAME AFTER ME FOR $1,700+ DOLLARS AS THE LEASE WAS ONLY 7 MONTHS IN AND I DIDN'T EVEN PAY THE TAXES I GUESS. THEN MY INSURANCE WENT UP SO I WAS FORCED TO CHANGE JOBS AND WALK TO WORK TO MAKE ENDS MEAT AND PAY RENT. I WISH MY STORY WAS READ BY SOMEONE MAKING LOTS OF MONEY WHO THINKS WHAT HAPPENED WASN'T RIGHT AND TOYOTA SHOULD HELP A YOUNG MAN JUST STARTING OUT WITH A NEW WIFE BUT I'M SURE THEY ARE TOO BUSY GOLFING OR AT SOME IMPORTANT MEETING AT A RESORT! HOPE THEY ARE ASHAMED OF CASES LIKE MINE. [XXX] IF ANYONE HAS THE [XXX] TO APOLOGIZE OR DO SOMETHING. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE SCREEN THAT CONTAINS ALL HANDS FREE OPTIONS CONTINUOUSLY ACTS AS IF IT IS REBOOTING AND NEVER FINISHES. IT HAPPENED AT 70,000 MILES AND DID THIS SUDDENLY. IT HAS NEVER WORKED SINCE AND WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO SPEND $1,000 FOR A NEW ONE WHEN IT WASN'T OUR FAULT. THIS IS A MAJOR DISTRACTION WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT AND HAVE A HARD TIME SEEING IF A DEER COMES OUT OR OTHER THINGS I NEED TO WATCH FOR. I HAVE ADHD AND SO THIS CAUSES MORE PROBLEMS FOR ME THAN MAYBE OTHERS. IT FLASHES REALLY BRIGHT AND GOES DIM BUT CONTINUES TO DO THIS THE WHOLE TIME. THIS IS A DANGER FOR ME BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF LIGHT THAT EXUDES OFF OF THE SCREEN AND NEVER STOPS. IT ALSO IS A SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO MYSELF NOT BEING ABLE TO USE ANY OF THE HANDS FREE OPTIONS. THIS MUST BE CALLED IN FOR A RECALL BECAUSE IT IS DANGEROUS TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN.

Summary

THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH 3 OF THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY ON MY 2014 COROLLA. THE KEY FOB WOULD NOT ACTIVATE THEM. I BROUGHT IT IN FOR SERVICE ON 2/8/2020 AND THE DEALER CONFIRMED THEY WERE FAULTY AND WOULD ORDER THE PARTS. WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS, THE 4TH ACTUATOR AND THE TRUNK LOCK ACTUATOR ALSO FAILED. I BOUGHT IT IN ON 2/15/2020 TO HAVE THE FIRST 3 FIXED AND ALSO TO CONFIRM THE PROBLEM WITH THE OTHER 2 ISSUES SO THOSE PARTS COULD BE ORDERED. I WAS TOLD THE COST TO FIX THE FIRST 3 WOULD BE ABOUT $1500! THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I PURCHASED HAD EXPIRED AND SO I COULD NOT AFFORD THIS. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE CONSULTANT THAT HE'S SEEN THIS PROBLEM WITH COROLLAS. I LOOKED ON LINE AND HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME VEHICLE ABOUT THIS SAME SITUATION. WITH THIS NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS, I WOULD THINK THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL BY TOYOTA AS THIS CAN BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE, CONSIDERING IT TAKES LONGER FOR PEOPLE TO GET IN THEIR WHICH CAN SUBJECT THEM TO POSSIBLE CRIMINAL ACTIVITY. THEY ALSO SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND FIX THEM AT NO CHARGE BECAUSE THEY KNOW IT'S A PROBLEM. I'VE ATTACHED THE SERVICE FOR 2/15/2020 JUST TO SHOW THAT I DID BRING IT IN.

Summary

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.

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.

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.

NOT ONLY IS THIS A BIG ANNOYANCE, BUT IT INCREASES THE RISK OF CAR THEFT AND MAKES IT HARD FOR US TO GET THE DOORS UNLOCKED WITH KIDS OR OTHER THINGS IN TOW.

I HAVE THREE SEPARATE DOOR LOCK ACTUATERS THAT HAVE FAILED OR ARE FAILING ALL WITHIN A 2 MONTH PERIOD WITH ONLY 51000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE FRONT RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK UNLESS I MANUALLY FLIP THE SWITCH, AND THE FRONT LEFT DRIVER DOOR AND LEFT REAR PASSENGER DOOR INTERMITTENTLY WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK WHEN I USE THE KEY FOB OR WHEN I SHIFT THE CAR INTO GEAR. THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO KNOW IF THE CAR IS SECURED WHEN I PARK IT OR WHEN STARTING TO DRIVE, AND I AM CONCERNED IF THE REAR CHILD SAFETY LOCKS DO NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY NOW. I HAVE HAD THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN ROCHESTER MN CONFIRMED THE NEED FOR 3 DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS AND ARE ASKING FOR OVER $1400 FOR FIXING THEM. I AM IN TOUCH WITH TOYOTA NORTH AMERICA HOPING TO BE APPROVED FOR A "GOODWILL" FIX. DOING FURTHER RESEARCH ONLINE SHOWS TWO SEPARATE LAW FIRMS INVESTIGATING THIS ISSUE AS THERE HAS BEEN A SIGNIFICANT UPTICK IN DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILURES IN VARIOUS TOYOTA VEHICLES. I BELIEVE THEY ARE DEFECTIVE.

I HAVE DIFFICULTY WHEN LOCKING/UNLOCKING MY VEHICLE WITH MY REMOTE KEY FOB AND MAIN LOOK SYSTEM FROM ALL DOORS OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTON IS PUSHED ON THE VEHICLE'S TWO FRONT DOORS THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR DOES NOT LOCK WITH THE OTHER DOORS ON THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS THE ONLY DOOR THAT MALFUNCTIONS ALL OTHER DOORS OPERATE EFFICIENTLY. THIS LOCKING MALFUNCTION OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED. THE DRIVER'S DOOR CAN BE LOCKED MANUALLY BY PUSHING THE LOCK INWARDS OR USING THE CAR KEY TO MANUALLY LOCK/UNLOCK THE DOOR. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AS THE VEHICLE'S LOCKING SYSTEM IS A PRIMARY CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE'S OWNER, AND THE OWNER'S PROPERTY INSIDE THE VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE IS APPROXIMATELY 4 YEARS OLD. I HAVE ALSO SPOKEN WITH OTHER TOYOTA COROLLA OWNERS (INCLUDING YEAR MODELS OF 2014 AND 2015) WHO COMPLAIN OF THE SAME ISSUES.

TAKATA RECALL I BUYING MY VEHICLE TOYOTA COROLLA 2014 IN EGYPT IN MARCH 2014. I USE IT UNTIL NOW AND MAKING ALL THE SERVICE REQUIRED THROUGH THE AGENT SERVES CENTER EVERY 10000 KM UNTIL NOW. NOW THE VEHICLE MAKE AROUND 138000 KM. SUDDENLY I HEARD A NOISE FROM THE TRANSMISSION (CVT) SO I SEND IT TO THE SERVES CENTER THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY NEED TO CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION AND THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND I SHOULD PAY ALL THE FEES WHICH WILL BE AROUND 130000 EGP (7300 USD) AS MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY PERIOD. THE QUESTION IS WHY I SHOULD PAY ALL THIS AMOUNT, I DO ALL THE SERVES ON TIME WITHOUT DELAYING IN THE AGENT SERVES CENTER. IS IT NORMAL TO CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION EVERY 137000 KM, THIS IS NEVER HAPPENED WITH ME BEFORE IN TOYOTA VEHICLES. SO I NEED TO KNOW WHAT SHOULD I DO. THANK YOU.

Summary

BOTH THE DISPLAY AND FUNCTIONALITY OF MY 2014 COROLLA'S BLUETOOTH RADIO NAVIGATION UNIT SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING AND IT APPEARS TO BE IN A NEVER-ENDING REBOOT CYCLE. A PICTURE OF THE UNIT APPEARS ON THE SCREEN WITH A LOADING BAR UNDERNEATH IT AS IF IT'S TRYING TO UPDATE ITS SOFTWARE. HOWEVER, REGARDLESS OF HOW FAR THE LOADING BAR GETS, THE SCREEN WILL EVENTUALLY TURN BLACK AND START THE REBOOT PROCESS ALL OVER AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS CONTINUOUSLY WITHOUT IT EVER COMPLETING THE PROCESS, RENDERING MY ENTIRE BLUETOOTH RADIO NAVIGATION UNIT COMPLETELY USELESS. NOT EVEN THE USB CHARGER OR AUX INPUT WILL WORK. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH IT TURNS OUT TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE FOR 2014 COROLLAS AND IT LARGELY BEGAN HAPPENING RIGHT AFTER THE VEHICLES' 36 MONTH WARRANTY PERIOD ENDED. I BELIEVE TOYOTA HAS ALREADY RELEASED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN IN REGARDS TO THE MATTER (TSB 0172.16). IT'S ALSO A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR WHEN I MOVED TO CALIFORNIA SO THAT I WOULD HAVE THE ABILITY TO NAVIGATE HANDS FREE AND SAFELY TALK ON THE PHONE IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS'PER THE WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE LAW IN CALIFORNIA. NOW BECAUSE OF THIS HARDWARE ISSUE, MY SAFETY IS BEING JEOPARDIZED. ALSO, BECAUSE THE SCREEN IS CONSTANTLY REBOOTING, IT KEEPS FLASHING ON AND OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING'MAKING IT A SIGNIFICANT DISTRACTION WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT.

Summary

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.

THE DISPLAY SCREEN FOR THE RADIO, NAVIGATION, MAINTENANCE REMINDERS, HANDS FREE PHONE USE, ETC. SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING WHEN STARTED MY CAR. THE SCREEN ONLY SHOWS AN ICON WITH A STATUS BAR THAT MAKES IT APPEAR THAT THE COMPUTER THAT OPERATES THIS SYSTEM IS TRYING TO RESTART. THE SCREEN ITSELF WORKS, BUT THE COMPUTER WON'T BOOT-UP. THIS IS DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING, AND PREVENTS THE USE OF ALL THE SAFETY FEATURES THAT RELY ON IT'S FUNCTION. I HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE READING ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN 2014-2016 TOYOTA VEHICLES THAT HAVE THE PREMIUM ENTUNE SYSTEM WITH NAVIGATION. THEY ADMITTEDLY STATE THAT THE FUGITSU COMPONENT IS FAULTY AND THEY HAVE SINCE STARTED USING A PANASONIC UNIT TO AVOID FUTURE PROBLEMS. TOYOTA PRICES THE REPLACEMENT PART AT $3450. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, WHEN THEY KNOW THAT THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE FAULT OF THE CAR OWNER, BUT RATHER A FAULTY PART THAT WAS USED DURING THE MANUFACTURE OF THE VEHICLE. ACCORDING TO THE POST OF ONE TOYOTA TECHNICIAN, TOYOTA HAS REPLACED 1 MILLION OF THESE UNITS, BUT UNLESS THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY THEY REFUSE TO COVER THE REPAIR COST BECAUSE TOYOTA DOES NOT THINK THIS MALFUNCTION IS A SAFETY ISSUE A RECALL OR WARRANTY EXTENSION HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED. I THINK IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THE HANDS-FREE FUNCTION DOES NOT WORK AND THE SCREEN IS VISUALLY DISTRACTING AS IT CONSTANTLY POWERS ON AND OFF. IT ALSO MEANS AN INOPERABLE NAVIGATION SYSTEM COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL AS NOT HAVING THE HANDS-FREE CALLING AND TEXTING. I HAVE TRIED TO RESET THE RADIO, DO A HARD RESET BY HOLDING THE POWER BUTTON AND REPLACING THE BATTERY. NOTHING WORKS. I CALLED TOYOTA AND GOT ROUTED AROUND AND HUNG UP ON. MECHANIC QUOTED ME MORE THAN $3500 FOR THE REPAIR. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE WHEN IT IS A KNOWN ENTUNE DEFECT AFFECTING MANY MODELS ACROSS MANY YEARS!

AS I WAS LEAVING FOR WORK ONE DAY, I TRIED HOOKING MY SEAT BELT AND IT UNHOOKED, I TRIED AGAIN AND IT UNHOOKED. HOOKED UNTIL THE LAST TIME. IT WORRIES ME THAT MY SEAT BELT DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY AND COULD FAIL TO PROTECT ME IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAPPENED IN AUGUST 2017. I DRIVE A TOYOTA COROLLA S 2014. 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.

Summary

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AT LEAST 12 TIMES SINCE PURCHASED. IT HAS ALREADY HAD A REAR SEAL LEAK, BACK BRAKES AND FRONT BRAKE WORK AND REAR BRAKES REPLACED. 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. IF YOU CAN RESOLVE OUR ISSUE BY EITHER AN EQUIVALENT EXCHANGE OF ANOTHER VEHICLE, OR FIX THE REAL REASON IT'S NOT RUNNING PROPERLY, AND FRANKLY NEVER HAS, I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP THAT CAN BE GIVEN ON MY BEHALF.

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.

Summary

REGARDING A 2014 TOYOTA COROLLA S WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION: THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 24,000 MILES AND THE CLUTCH WAS WORN OFF SUBSTANTIALLY. I HAVE OVER 30 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE DRIVING VEHICLES WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS (USED AND NEW) AND I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE LEASE, I NOTICED THAT THE CLUTCH PEDAL SAT HIGHER THAN I AM USED TO. MOREOVER, THE TRANSMISSION KICKED A BIT IF I RELEASED THE CLUTCH AT THE SPEED THAT I AM USED TO. I INFORMED THIS TO THE TECHNICIAN'S AT THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY SAID THAT THESE BEHAVIORS WERE BY DESIGN AND THAT THE CLUTCH COULD NOT BE ADJUSTED BECAUSE IT IS A HYDRAULIC SYSTEM. AGAIN, THIS EVENT IS VERY STRANGE AND BASED ON MY PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE WITH NUMEROUS MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLES, I AM LEAD TO CONCLUDE THAT THE CLUTCH SYSTEM FOR THIS VEHICLE IS POORLY DESIGNED/MANUFACTURED/ASSEMBLED. *TR

Summary

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.

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.

THIS IS AN ISSUE FOR EVERYONE BECAUSE WE TYPICALLY DON'T CHECK TIRE PRESSURE MORE FREQUENT THAN 4 X A YEAR FOR EACH SEASON.

Summary

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

WHEN I PULL MY CAR INTO A PARKING SPOT WITH A CEMENT PARKING BUMP STOPPER, THE CAR HANGS UP ON IT CAUSING SOME SCRATCHES ON THE UNDERSIDE- TOYOTA HAS SAID THERE IS NO DESIGN FLAW BUT I DISAGREE. IF I DO NOT PULL IN ALL THE WAY, I RISK SOMEONE HITTING THE BACK OF THE CAR BECAUSE I WILL BE STICKING OUT TOO FAR. A SECOND PROBLEM IS THE AC. I LIVE IN FLORIDA AND WHEN I GET INTO THE CAR IT IS OFTEN OVER 100 DEGREES.. I HAVE TO DRIVE FOR A FEW MINUTES WITH HOT AIR BLOWING ON ME BEFORE THE COOL AIR KICKS IN. THIS MAKES ME SWEAT AND VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. TOYOTA SAYS THAT IS JUST THE DESIGN OF THE CAR. I NEVER HAD THAT PROBLEM WITH MY TWO RAV4'S. I AM ALSO WONDERING IF A HAVE THE AIRBAGS THAT ARE RECALLED.

I WAS PARKED IN THE UNDERGROUND PARKING AT THE NORTH WEST CORNER OF AMHERST AVE AND SANTA MONICA BLVD IN LOS ANGELES. I WAS EXITING DRIVING UP THE VERY NARROW EXIT RAMP. 1.THE ONE WAY EXIT TO THE LOT CURVES AND IS VERY NARROW. AS I NAVIGATED THE NARROW EXIT, I FELT THAT I WAS ALMOST TOUCHING THE WALL ON THE RIGHT SIDE. 2.I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE IN ORDER TO GET AWAY FROM THE WALL. HOWEVER, THE BRAKES DID NOT RESPOND AND THE CAR ROLLED BACKWARDS AROUND THE BEND, HITTING THE WALL BEHIND ME. THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. 3.APPLYING THE BRAKES HAD NO IMPACT ON THE CAR NEITHER DECELERATING NOR ACCELERATING. THIS SHOWS THAT THE BRAKES DEFINITELY DID NOT WORK. 4.WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES, I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE. AT NO TIME DID I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. I WOULD HAVE HEARD THE ENGINE. THE INSTANT I SHIFTED TO DRIVE, THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD AT A VERY HIGH RATE OF SPEED. CONSEQUENTIALLY, MY CAR ZOOMED UP THE DRIVEWAY INTO THE GROUND LEVEL PARKING FACING WEST. WITHIN A SECOND OR SO, MY CAR COLLIDED WITH ANOTHER CAR, PARKED FACING WEST IN FRONT OF PIZZA HUT. DUE TO THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT AT SUCH A HIGH RATE OF SPEED, THE PARKED HYUNDAI SUPERSEDED THE CONCRETE PARKING BARRIER CRASHING INTO PIZZA HUT, SHATTERING THE STORE FRONT WINDOW. 5.MY CAR WAS THANKFULLY STOPPED DUE TO IMPACT WITH THE HYUNDAI ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AND A LOW WALL ON THE LEFT SIDE.

TAKATA INFLATORS (POSSIBLE) THE CAR WAS IN AN ACCIDENT. MY WIFE REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE AND THERE WAS A GOOD AMOUNT OF FRONT END DAMAGE. SHE WAS NOT SURE ABOUT THE EXACT SPEED. SHE WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 95 IN WEST HAVEN CT IN CLEAR WEATHER BUT FAIRLY HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE THINKS THE SPEED WAS BETWEEN 25 TO 35 MPH. THE DAMAGE IT THE FRONT END WAS ENOUGH TO DECLARE THE CAR A TOTAL LOSS. THE DAMAGE WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE ENGINE BLOCK. MOST OF THE AIRBAGS DID DEPLOY. THE DRIVERS SIDE STEERING WHEEL AND KNEE AIRBAGS DEPLOY, HOWEVER, THEY DID NOT INFLATE. THE SIDE AIRBAGS AND CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED BUT ONLY SOME INFLATED OR PARTIAL INFLATED. I SPOKE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THEY SAID IT WAS STRANGE. SO I REPORTED IT TO TOYOTA AND THEY ARE GOING TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. DURING MY INITIAL CONVERSATIONS WITH TOYOTA CORPORATE OFFICE THEY TOO SAID IT DOES NOT SEEM CORRECT. THEY ARE GOING TO INSPECT THE CARE WITH A WEEK. I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO MAKE OF THEIR INSPECTION AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE FAIR. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT IN THE ACCIDENT. BUT I DO THINK THE ISSUE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT.

Summary

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.

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.

THE LOW BEAM PART OF THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY IN THE COROLLA SPORTS 2014 IS IRREPLACEABLE. I HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE COROLLA 2014S ON THE ROAD WITH ATLEAST 1 OF THE LOWBEAM HEADLIGHTS NOT WORKING AND IT COULD BE A PROBLEM EITHER WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OR THE WIRING MUST BE GETTING PINCHED AS IT HAS NO GUARD FROM GETTING PINCHED IF IT'S HARNESSED VIA THE FRONT OF THE CAR NEAR THE BUMPER. I AM PERSONALLY TRYING TO FIGHT THIS PROBLEM BUT THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT HELP ME.

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.

I HAVE ATTEMPTED FOR THE LAST 14 MONTHS TO GET A NOISE FIXED WHEN MY CAR STARTS UP. I HAVE MADE 10 REPAIR EFFORTS WITH TOYOTA AND TOYOTA CORPORATE. I HAVE FILED LEMON LAW ON MY CAR AND TOYOTA HAS SENT ME LETTERS TWICE STATING THEY HAVE REVIEWED MY REPAIR ORDERS, INSPECTED THE CAR, AND IT IS WORKING AS DESIGNED. WHILE THE LETTERS ARE BEING SENT TO ME I HAVE OPEN APPOINTMENTS TO GET THE CAR REPAIRED FOR THIS ISSUE. I CALLED THE TOYOTA FIELD REP AND HE STATED THAT MY CASE IS CLOSED BECAUSE THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY CAR. THE NOISE HAPPENS WHEN STARTING THE CAR AFTER IT HAS BEEN SITTING FOR AT LEAST 20 MINUTES. IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS BROKEN INSIDE THE ENGINE. ON THE LAST TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP TOYOTA REPLACED THE STARTER ON MY CAR AND IT DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE ENGINE ITSELF IN MY CAR SINCE THE STARTER HAS BEEN REPLACED. I AM AFRAID MY CAR IS GOING TO STALL OUT ON ME WHILE DRIVING CAUSING ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE RECORDED SOUNDS OF THE NOISE OCCURRING AND I WOULD LIKE TO SUBMIT THEM WHEN I AM CONTACTED.

WHILE MAKING A 90 DEGREE TURN FROM THE ROADWAY INTO A PARKING SPACE I HEARD A LOUD SNAPPING, BANGING NOISE FROM THE RIGHT FRONT OF MY VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE CAME TO AN ABRUPT STOP. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND CHECKED THE FRONT SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AND WAS ALARMED TO FIND THAT MY RIGHT FRONT WHEEL WAS POINTED IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF MY LEFT FRONT WHEEL AND UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION FOUND WHAT APPEARS TO BE A SNAPPED TIE ROD END OR LOWER CONTROL ARM. 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!! THE DEALER FURTHER WENT ON TO SAY THAT THE PARTS ARE ALL UNDER WARRANTY SO YOU ARE ALL SET!! I ASKED, HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 11,800 MILES COULD HAVE HAD SUCH A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. THE ANSWER, WE ARE NOT SURE AT THIS POINT THE PARTS WILL BE SHIPPED BACK TO THE FACTORY.

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

Summary

2014 TOYOTA COROLLA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ENGINE AND STEERING WHEEL ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO START THE ENGINE DUE TO THE STEERING WHEEL BEING IN THE LOCKED POSITION.

I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE & SLOWING DOWN. I TURNED LEFT INTO THE SPACE AND, OF COURSE, HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND MY CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN. I KEPT PUSHING ON THE BRAKE BUT IT KEPT GOING. THE HIGHER THAN USUAL CURB AT THE SHOPPING CENTER, I SUPPOSE, IS WHAT STOPPED THE CAR, THOUGH MY FOOT REPEATEDLY KEPT PUSHING THE BRAKE. I TRIED TO DRIVE IT HOME BUT IT WAS NOT WORKING. WE HAD IT TOWED TO TOYOTA IN ROCKWALL. THEY HAD SOMEONE LOOK AT IT. THE PERSON THAT LOOKED AT IT CALLED MY HOME TO GET MY STORY BUT ASKED MY HUSBAND WHAT TOOK PLACE. I DIDN'T GET THE MESSAGE TILL THE NEXT DAY. WHEN I WAS GETTING READY TO CALL HIM BACK, MY HUSBAND TOLD ME THAT HE CALLED AND SAID HE DID NOT NEED TO TALK TO ME. HOW CAN YOU LEGITIMATELY TELL ME WHAT I SAY HAPPENED DID NOT HAPPEN WHEN YOU HAVEN'T EVEN TALKED TO ME. I WAS THE ONLY ONE IN THE CAR, NOT MY HUSBAND. THEY CHECKED OUT THE "BLACK BOX" I SUPPOSE AND SENT ME A VERY NICE LETTER BASICALLY TELLING ME WHAT I TOLD MY HUSBAND HAPPENED, DID NOT HAPPEN. I DO NOT LIE. I WAS THERE AND I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE WAY THAT THIS WAS HANDLED. I FELT LIKE HOW COULD I EVEN FIGHT THIS, TOYOTA IS A BIG CORPORATION. I AM JUST ONE PERSON WHO HAD AN INCIDENT WITH ONE OF THEIR VEHICLES. IT WOULD BE MY WORD AGAINST THEIRS. I APPRECIATE NHTSA TAKING THE TIME TO HEAR MY SIDE OF WHAT HAPPENED. MY HUSBAND AND I ARE FANS OF TOYOTA VEHICLES. I HAVE SEVERAL CAMRYS AND MY HUSBAND PRESENTLY DRIVES A PRIUS AND A TUNDRA SO AGAIN, WE ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE WAY THAT THIS WAS HANDLED. *TR

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

Summary

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

Summary

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

HELLO, I DRIVE 100 MILE EVERY DAY FROM PITTSBURGH, CA TO HAYWARD, CA FOR SCHOOL. I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2014 COROLLA LE, BECAUSE I WANTED A RELIABLE CAR FOR MY DAILY COMMUTE. I HAVE NOTICED AT SPEEDS OVER 60 MPH, MY CAR SEEMS TO BE BLOWN AROUND BY WIND AND THERE IS NO WIND GUST STRONG ENOUGH TO DO THAT. I HAVE VISITED THE DEALERSHIP (DUBLIN TOYOTA) TWICE IN OTHER TO FIND OUT THE PROBLEM, THEY SAID EVERYTHING IS UP TO SPEC. THEY HAVE DONE ALIGNMENT AND EVEN ADJUSTED THE TIRE PRESSURE, YET THERE IS NO IMPROVEMENT ON THE STEERING OR HANDLING OF THE CAR. THE CAR WAVES ON THE FREEWAY AND IT IS A STRUGGLE TO KEEP IT IN ONE LANE. I REALLY FEEL UNSAFE IN THE CAR AND I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING INCLUDING LOADING UP MY CAR WITH WEIGHT IN ORDER TO MAKE HEAVIER. I KNOW SOMETHING IS EITHER WRONG WITH THE REAR SUSPENSION AND AXLE OR THE POWER STEERING IS SIMPLY BAD. PLEASE FIND OUT WHY THIS IS THIS WAY FROM TOYOTA, BECAUSE I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR ON THE FREEWAY. I NOTICED THIS PROBLEM STARTING THE DAY I BROUGHT THE CAR. *TR

Summary

ON MAY 6, 2014, MY WIFE [XXX] AND I WERE DRIVING HOME TO WLLISTON, VERMONT FROM ARLINGTON, VERMONT. WE WERE DRIVING NORTH AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH IN OUR 2014 TOYOTA COROLLA LE. AT THE BLINKING LIGHT INTERSECTION OF DORSET STREET AND CHEESE FACTORY ROAD, WE MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN AND DROVE EAST. IT WAS A VERY DARK NIGHT AND I MIS-JUDGED THE DISTANCE TO THE END OF CHEESE FACTORY ROAD, WHERE YOU COULD EITHER TURN LEFT OR RIGHT. AT THE INTERSECTION OF CHEESE FACTORY ROAD AND HINESBURG ROAD, THERE ARE NO BLINKING LIGHTS OR REFLECTORS, AND, IN THE DARKNESS, I MISSED THE STOP SIGN, WENT STRAIGHT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND CRASHED INTO A DITCH ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD. UPON IMPACT, MY AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, AND I FELT ONLY A SHARP PAIN IN MY LOWER BACK. IMMEDIATELY GETTING OUT OF THE CAR, I MOVED TO THE PASSENGER SIDE TO FIND MY WIFE OUT OF THE CAR ON HER HANDS AND KNEES, CRYING OUT THAT SHE WAS UNABLE TO BREATHE. IN THE HOSPITAL [XXX] WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A CRACKED STERNUM, AN L 1 COMPRESSION FRACTURE IN HER BACK, 3 BROKEN RIBS AND A BROKEN LEFT WRIST. SHE SPENT 9 DAYS IN ICU. IT HAS ONLY BEEN IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS THAT MY WIFE AND I HAVE HAD AN IN-DEPTH DISCUSSION OF THE ACCIDENT. [XXX] SAYS THAT HER SEAT BELT DID NOT HOLD HER BACK, AND THAT HER CHEST HIT THE DASH BEFORE HER AIR BAG DEPLOYED; YET, AT IMPACT SHE WAS ABLE TO SEE THAT MY AIR BAG HAD DEPLOYED BEFORE HERS. THIS WOULD PROBABLY ACCOUNT FOR THE SEVERITY OF HER INJURIES AND FOR THE RELATIVELY MINOR INJURIES FOR MINE. WE ARE NOW AWARE THAT THE 2013 TOYOTA COROLLA HAD AIRBAG ISSUES AND WONDER IF OUR 2014 TOYOTA COROLLA MIGHT HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS. WE HAVE ALSO BEEN TOLD BY MEDICAL PERSONNEL THAT TREMENDOUS FORCE WOULD BE REQUIRED TO CRACK A STERNUM, THE KIND OF FORCE THAT WOULD COME FROM HITTING THE DASH BOARD. FOR THESE REASONS WE ARE FILING A CLAIM. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

SO I LEASED THE 2014 TOYOTA COROLLA S PLUS ON 2/23/14. APPROXIMATELY 2 TO 3 WEEKS LATER I WAS VACUUMING IT OUT, WHEN I LIFTED UP THE DRIVER SIDE CAR MAT IT HAD AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF WATER UNDER THE MAT. SO I DRIED IT OUT, WHEN I VACUUMED IT OUT AGAIN A WEEK LATER THERE WAS WATER AGAIN UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE CAR MAT. AGAIN I DRIED THE FLOOR AND I TOOK THE MATS OUT, LET THEM DRY OUT. THEN EVERY MORNING I WOULD CHECK AND WATER WAS UNDER MY DRIVER SIDE MAT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY THINK POSSIBLY A LEAK IN THE WINDSHIELD. I EXPLAINED TO THEM SEVERAL TIMES, I ROLL MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW DOWN WHEN I GET IN MY CAR EVERY MORNING AND WATER LITERALLY POURS IN WHEN I START DRIVING. MY ARMS AND LEGS ARE WET EVERY MORNING, IT'S FROM THE MORNING DEW ON THE CAR, IT RUNS RIGHT IN. I HAVE TO KEEP A TOWEL IN MY DOOR COMPARTMENT SO I CAN WIPE THE WATER OFF, SO IT DOESN'T RUIN THE INTERIOR. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOW HAD IT FOR 3 DAYS, FRI, SAT, SUN TO "DRY IT OUT" BECAUSE THEY PULLED BACK THE CARPETS AND WATER WAS UNDER IT. THEY SAY NONE OF THE TUBES ARE LEAKING AND ALL THE TUBES ARE UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE ANYWAYS, EVERYTHING CHECKS OUT FINE. PERSONALLY I THINK ITS A DESIGN FLAW, WITH THE WINDOWS SEEING AS HOW THE 2014 IS A REDESIGN. *TR

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"..

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

Summary

CVT TRANSMISSION MAKING ERRATIC RATIO CORRECTIONS WHEN CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN AT LOW SPEED WHICH MADE THE CAR LITERALLY JUMP AT SOME SPEEDS (0-30 MPH) MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE FOR IN EX. A TRAFFIC JAM (STOP AND GO) AND LOOSE POWER WHEN CLIMBING FOR IN EX. PARKING PLACES THAT HAD RAMPS (0-5 MPH) DUE TO ERRATIC UPSHIFT RATIO CORRECTIONS THAT FORCES PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO BE ABLE TO KEEP THE CAR CLIMBING THE RAMPS CAUSING ERRATIC JUMPS/SPEEDS/PULLS AND SOMETIMES THE ENGINE TO BACKFIRE WHEN CLIMBING. CAR ALSO HAD NOTICEABLE JUMPS WHEN BRAKING TO A FULL STOP CONDITION FROM ANY SPEED. TESTED BY DEALERSHIP, DIAGNOSED AND REPLACED THE CVT TRANSMISSION WITH A REMANUFACTURED UNIT, GOT IT BACK AFTER 4 DAYS. RIGHT AFTER DRIVING IT OUT OF THE DEALER WHO SUPPOSEDLY TOOK CARE OF THE 5K MILES MAINTENANCE AS WELL, MAINTENANCE REQUIRED SOON INDICATOR STARTED TO LIGHT EVERY TIME THE CAR IS STARTED. THIS CONDITION COULD INCREASE THE CHANCE OF AN ACCIDENT WHEN DRIVEN UNDER THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES DUE TO ERRATIC/UNEXPECTED SPEED VARIATIONS. TRAC OFF & CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BARELY FOR A DAY EVEN THOUGH THE MALFUNCTION WAS PRESENT AND WERE OFF WHEN THE CAR WAS LEFT FOR THE REPAIR IN THE DEALER, EVEN THOUGH THE CONDITION STARTED AT LEAST 10 DAYS BEFORE AS AN INTERMITTENT SITUATION, GETTING WORSE AT DAYS, NOT PRESENT DURING NORMAL TO HARD ACCELERATION BUT HAD TO BE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP BEFORE THE APPOINTMENT DUE TO WORSENING OF THE DRIVABILITY, BUT THE GAUGES NEVER LIGHTED UP, BUT FOR A WHILE, THE DAY BEFORE IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHICH MAY INDICATE THAT DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE PROBLEM THE ON BOAD DIAGNOSTICS SYSTEMS MAY NOT ALERT A DRIVER OF THE MALFUNCTION, EVEN THOUGH IS PRESENT, WHICH MAY BE CAUSING THOSE CARS BEING DRIVEN BY UNEXPERIENCED OWNERS/DRIVERS WITH THAT FAULT BEING PRESENT INCREASING CHANCES OF HAVING A ACCIDENT, FORTUNATELY AT LOW SPEEDS. *TR

Summary

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
