Summary

The problem started 11/12/2021. The car started jerking and dropping out of gear while driving. A mechanic changed the transmission fluid and filter thinking it may resolve the problem. It did not now getting a code P2757 indicating the torque converter clutch pressure control solenoid was failing. Toyota issued a bulletin dated October 20, 2018 on CK313 CVT P2757 valve body replacement. It’s on your website and also a software update for CVT transmission dated August 13,2018 also on your website. This car did not get the update or either bulletin.

Summary

We had four brand new Goodyear Assurance All-Season tires installed by our regular mechanics (Harper's Farm BP, Columbia, Maryland) on August 23, 2021. The very next day our son was driving on I-83 near Harrisburg, PA en route to Ithaca, NY when the rear driver's-side tire completely failed. The tread separated from the sidewalls and was left on the highway somewhere. (See uploaded photos.) Fortunately, he kept control of the car, but there was something wrong with this tire. I do not expect a one-day old tire to fail so completely in this way. Maybe he hit a nail on the highway and lost some air pressure, but I would expect him to have a flat tire, not an exploded tire. We had the tire replaced at Derry Auto & Tire in Harrisburg, PA the next day. I have attached receipts from both repair shops to document the dates.

Summary

THE TRANSMISSION ON THE VEHICLE HAS A TITAL OF 19,752MILES AS OF 5/3/2021. THE VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED DUE TO A "BAD CYLENOID" IN THE TRANSMISSION. I AM A 90 YEAR OLD WOMAN WHO WENT TO MY PHYSICIANS OFFICE AFTER MY APPOINTMENT I GIT IN THE CAR AND ATTEMPTED TO PLACE THE CAR IN REVERSE WHEN IT FAILED TO MOVE. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE AND WAS SHOCKED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM ESPECIALLY DIBCE I HAD JUST TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE . DURING THAT MAINTENANCE THERE WERE NO NOTED PROBLEM BOUGHT TO MY STTENTIO. HENCE I FELL THAT THIS IS A SEVERE MANUFACTURERES DEFECR. I'M CONCERNED THAT THERE IS A SERIOUS DEFECT AND RELATED ISDUES DUE TO THE DEDIGN OR MANUFACTURING OF THE CVT TRANSMISSION WHICH I UNDERSTAND IS A BIG ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN ENCOUNTERED IN TOYOTA'S 2014 TO 2019 LINE OF VEHICLES. WHILE IT SEEMS THAT NO RECALL WERE FORMALLY ISSUED, I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A HUGE PROBLEM BASED ON THE FAILURE OF THE CVT TRAMSMISSION... GIVEN THAT THE NORMAL TRANSMISSION MILEAGE FOR THIS MODEL IS ~ 250K MILES SO I STRONGLY FEEL THIS SITUATION IS SUSPECT. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT VEHICLES WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION ARE SUBJECT TO A SPECIAL SERVICE CAMPAIGN. AS SUCH, I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT MY VEHICLE FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION UNDER THIS STATUS AS I DESIRE TO SECURE A FAVORABLE REMEDY FOR THIS MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. I WOULD LIKE ASSISTANCE IS EXPLORING MY OPTIONS TO GET MY VEJICLE BACK ON THE ROAD WITHOUT MY HAVING TO COME OUT OF POCKET WITH TBOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO CORRECT THE MANUFACTURER'S KNOWN DEFECT.

Summary

WHEN DRIVING, MY 2015 COROLLA WITH A CVT TRANSMISSION WITH ~74,000 MILES, THE CAR WILL OFTEN NOT ACCELERATE, SOMETIMES AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE FREEWAY OR LOW SPEEDS IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS. FOR EXAMPLE, ON THURSDAY, MARCH 25, I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK WHEN I HAD TO SAFELY PULL OVER BECAUSE MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. SINCE I WAS NOT ON A BUSY STREET, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME BUT AT A HIGHLY REDUCED SPEED. WHENEVER THIS OCCURS IT HAPPENS WHEN I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL. THE CAR EITHER LURCHES REPEATEDLY OR THE ENGINE REVS TO A HIGH RPM WITH OUT ACCELERATING. BASIC MAINTENANCE SUCH AS CHANGING THE OIL AND COOLANT AS REQUIRED WAS DONE, HOWEVER I AM NOT SURE WHAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THE ISSUE. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ON THE 27TH, I WAS ALSO NOT AWARE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL THAT WOULD HELP MINIMIZE WEAR ON MY CVT AND SINCE MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY, I AM STUCK WITH THE ONLY OPTION OF COMPLETELY REPLACING THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I SUSPECT THAT OTHER DRIVERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE MAY HAVE NOT BROUGHT THEIR CAR IN FOR THE RECALL AND MAY BE IN THE SAME POSITION AS ME. PLUS, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT A SOFTWARE UPDATE WOULD HAVE FIXED ANYTHING. MY CAR WOULD STUTTER AT A STOP A YEAR OR TWO AFTER I GOT THE CAR.

I GOT A RECALL ABOUT MY TRANSMISSION LAST YEAR (2019) AND THEY CHECKED IT WITHIN MINUTES AND SAID IT SEEMED FINE BUT IF I HAD ANYMORE ISSUES TO BRING IT BACK. WELL THE CAR WAS MAKING SOUNDS AND I WENT TO BRYAN EASLER TOYOTA IN HENDERSONVILLE, N.C. AND SPOKE TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT REGARDING MY CONCERNS SINCE THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL AND I WAS TOLD IT WASN'T,'T PROBABLY ANYTHING BAD. WELL I LEFT WENT UP THE ROAD AND TEN MINUTES LATER THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. TOYOTA TOWED IT IN AND TOOK A COUPLE OF DAYS TO CALL ME AND TELL ME THAT IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TRANSMISSION RECALL. THAT IS BULL WHAT ELSE MAKES A TRANSMISSION JUST QUIT OUT OF THE BLUE . THERE ARE SO MANY TOYOTA COROLLA TRANSMISSIONS FAILING DUE TO BAD CVT TRANSMISSIONS AND PEOPLE WHO'S WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED ARE TRYING TO BE MADE TO PAY FOR TOYOTA CRAPPY ENGINE. I FEEL LIKE IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND TOYOTA SHOULD HONOR THE TRANSMISSION RECALL AND REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AT NO COST TO THE CUSTOMER. THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $6800 ON TOP OF THE $7200 I OWE NOT FOR A PILE OF JUNK. *TR

Summary

THE 'AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION' SEEMS TO HAVE AN ISSUE ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE! WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, I NOTICE THAT THE RPM GAUGE REACHES APPROXIMATELY 5,000 TO 5,250 RPMS BEFORE THE 'AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION' SHIFTS INTO THE NEXT FORWARD GEAR! THIS SITUATION HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING CITY STREETS AND DEFINITELY WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAYS AND INTERSTATES HIGHWAYS!!! TO BEST DESCRIBE THIS PROBLEM, IT IS BASICALLY LIKE WHEN I FIRST LEARNED HOW TO DRIVE A 'MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLE' AND I DID NOT FULLY UNDERSTAND WHEN IT WAS TIME TO SHIFT INTO THE NEXT GEAR. BECAUSE THE RPM GAUGE IS READING SO HIGH BEFORE THE 'AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION' AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTS INTO THE NEXT GEAR RATIO, IT CONCERNS ME QUITE A BIT!!! I HAD THIS SIMILAR ISSUE WHEN I OWNED A 1976 PONTIAC TRANS-AM. AFTER THE TRANSMISSION ON MY CURRENT 2015 TOYOTA COROLLA STARTED ACTING LIKE MY OLD PONTIAC TRANS-AM, I STARTED BECOMING VERY CONCERNED WITH THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUE! BECAUSE ON MY OLD 1976 PONTIAC TRANS-AM WHEN THE RPM GAUGE WAS RUNNING VERY HIGH BEFORE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WOULD SHIFT TO THE NEXT GEAR RATIO, ONE DAY THE TRANSMISSION FINALLY BURNED OUT ALL THE FORWARD 'AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION' GEARS AND ALL I HAD LEFT TO GO UP A HILL WAS MY 'REVERSE GEAR'!!! WHEN I TOOK THE 1976 PONTIAC TRANS-AM INTO A PONTIAC DEALERSHIP, I WAS INFORMED THAT ALL THE FORWARD GEAR CLUTCH PLATES WERE BURNED OUT!!! SO, IF THERE ARE ANY ADDITIONAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VEHICLES 'AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION' THEN TOYOTA SHOULD LOOK IN TO THIS ISSUE AND MAKE THE APPROPRIATE 'RECALL(S)'! I PURCHASED THIS 2015 TOYOTA COROLLA TWO YEARS AGO. THIS PROBLEM STARTED APPROXIMATELY SIX-MONTHS AGO, OR AROUND MARCH OF 2019!

Summary

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL FROM TOYOTA - REFERENCE ID JSD. THE NOTICE STATED THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH PROGRAMMING WITHIN THE ECU THAT COULD POTENTIALLY LEAD TO ISSUES WITH THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION THAT WOULD CAUSE THE TRANSMISSION TO NOT WORK PROPERLY AND WOULD ALSO CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO LOSE SPEED. SHORTLY AFTER RECEIVING THE NOTICE I EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH MY CAR'S TRANSMISSION WHILE DRIVING AROUND SPEEDS OF 35-40 MPH. AROUND THESE SPEEDS, TRANSMISSION WOULD RANDOMLY DOWNSHIFT TO A LOW GEAR AND WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY POWER TO ENGINE. NOTHING COULD BE DONE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE WHILE DRIVING - ANY ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE WOULD JUST REV THE ENGINE TO HIGH RPM - AND I WOULD HAVE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND COMPLETELY STOP THE CAR BEFORE THE CAR WOULD CORRECTLY DRIVE. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES THAT MORNING. THESE FIRST EXPERIENCES OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS. I CALLED TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO BRING CAR IN FOR SERVICE UNDER THE RECALL NOTICE THE SAME MORNING. WHILE DRIVING TO THE DEALERSHIP ON THE HIGHWAY I EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUES. TOYOTA CALLED ME LATER THAT DAY ASKING IF I HAD EXPERIENCED ANY ISSUES, AND I TOLD THEM ABOUT THE EXPERIENCES I HAD THAT MORNING WHILE DRIVING TO WORK AND WHILE DRIVING TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. LATER IN THE MONTH THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE ISSUES WERE UNRELATED TO THE RECALL AND THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED ON ITS OWN SO NOTHING WAS COVERED. NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH, AND THERE WERE NO PRIOR WARNING SIGNS OF ANY ISSUES TO ALERT ME THAT SOMETHING MAY BE WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION.

VEHICLE IS AN LE ECO MODEL WITH CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT). ENGINE RPM WILL SUDDENLY FLARE...OFTEN CLOSE TO REDLINE WITH THROTTLE IN STEADY CRUISE POSITION, REGARDLESS OF ENGINE OPERATING AND AMBIENT TEMPERATURE. VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE (SLUGGISH). IT IS SUBJECT TO A DEALER CAMPAIGN, BUT DEALER CLAIMS AN INTERNAL FAILURE AND IS BEING HIGHLY AMBIGUOUS ABOUT THE ACTUAL FAILURE. THEY SIMPLY WANT TO INSTALL A $5,000+ REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND SEEMS TO HAVE A MIND OF ITS OWN. IT IS WORSE NOW SINCE THE DEALER LOOKED AT IT. TOYOTA AND THE DEALER WILL NOT HELP THE CUSTOMER (ME) IN ANY WAY AND CLAIM THAT THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS KNOWN WITH THIS TRANSMISSION, AN ASSERTION THAT IS NOT SUPPORTED BY THE SCOPE OF INTERNET POSTINGS THAT CAN READILY BE LOCATED.

I NOTICE THAT THE TRANSMISSION STARTS SKIDDING DOESN'T RESPOND QUICKLY THE WAY IT SHOULD WHEN I'M STARTING TO MOVE THE CAR. IT STAYS IN BLANK. AND I HAVE TO TRY TO INCREASE VERY SLOWLY THE CAR AND PICK UP MILEAGE FOR IT TO GO AWAY. IN THE HIGHWAY IF THERE ARE CARS STOPPING I HA E TO STOP. IF I SEE THROUGH MY REAR WINDOW THAT A CAR IS COMING FAST FROM BEHIND AND I WANT TO MOVE TO AVOID TO GET HIT FORM BEHIND MY CAR WILL MOVE SOMETHING BUT NOT AS FAST ENOUGH TO AVOID GETTING HIT BECAUSE IT STAYS IN BLANK. LIKE SKIDDING. I BELIEVEL THIS COULD BE HAZARDOUS TO ME AND MY FAMILY BECAUSE IF I FIND MYSELF IN A SITUATION THAT I HAVE TO MOVE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE TO AVOID SOMEONE ON THE ROAD TO HIT ME I WON'T BE ABLE TO MOVE AS FAST AND CAN BE HIT BY ANOTHER CAR. I LET THE DEALER SERVICE DEPT. KNOW THEY TELL ME THAT I HAVE TO WAIT FOR A RECALL. I'M VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS SITUATION. THE DEALER TOLD ME ABOUT A CODE THAT TOYOTA HAS TO WORK ON IT TO FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS COMPUTERIZED. I ASKED IF THE DEALER NOTIFIED THE PROBLEM TO TOYOTA. THEY SAID NO. MY QUESTION IS WHEN SIL I HAVE THIS PROBLEM SOLVED? THIS IS HAPPENING EVERY DAY. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS FOR THE DRIVER AND THE PASSENGERS IN THE CAR, (MY FAMILY). THANK YOU FOR TAKING THIS SITUATION INTO CONSIDERATION. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN FEBRUARY. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT SOON A RECALL WOULD COME OUT AND THEY WOULD LET ME KNOW. I'M STILL WAITING.

Summary

IT HAPPENED TWO TIMES IN THE EXACT SAME PLACE ONCE ON OCT. 24, 2017, AND JAN 24, 2018. I HADN'T DRIVEN THE CAR FROM OCT. 24 TIL DEC 20. I PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT, PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE COMING TO A STOP, WENT TO CHANGE TO REVERSE GEAR AND BACK INTO MY SPOT AND THE CAR JUST TOOK OFF,LUNGING FORWARD HITTING THE HOUSE IN FRONT OF ME. IT DID A LOT OF DAMAGE TO MY CAR, AND ALSO THE HOUSE. THE AIRBAG NEVER WENT OFF, AND THE SEAT BELT DIDN'T PREVENT ME FROM MY CHEST HITTING THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAD A VERY SORE BRUISED STERNUM FOR OVER ONE WEEK. IT HAPPENED WITHIN ONE MONTH OF DRIVING. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR ANYMORE. IF I WAS OUT IN TRAFFIC OR IF SOMEONE WAS IN FRONT OF ME, I COULD HAVE KILLED MYSELF, OR THEM!! TOYOTA SAYS THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, BUT WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU EXPECT THEM TO SAY.

Summary

I WANT TO REPORT THAT I FOUND A LOOSE BOLT POKING OUT OF THE DRAIN HOLE ON THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR OF OUR 2015 TOYTOTA COROLLA. IT WAS ORIENTED IN SUCH A WAY THAT ONLY THE THREADED END WAS POKING OUT THE HOLE AND HELD INSIDE THE DOOR BY THE BOLT HEAD. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND AS A COURTESY THEY REMOVED THE DOOR PANEL AND DETERMINED IT HAD COME FROM ONE OF THE WINDOW PARTS (REGULATOR OR MOTOR). THEY REINSTALLED AND TIGHTENED THE BOLT. I READ ON THE INTERNET THIS WAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH PREVIOUS TOYOTAS AND CREATED SAFETY CONCERNS. THIS MAY BE A CONTINUED PROBLEM WITH TOYOTAS. IT WAS OBVIOUSLY A VERY SMALL CHANCE THAT THE BOLT ACTUALLY LANDED IN A FASHION TO PARTIALLY STICK OUT OF THE DRAIN HOLE SO I WAS ABLE TO SPOT THIS, SO I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER IF OTHER WINDOW BOLTS IN THE CAR HAVE, OR WILL, COME LOOSE AND FALL INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE DOORS WITHOUT DETECTION. THIS MAY ALSO BE THE CASE WITH MANY OTHER COROLLAS SOLD. BOLTS THAT BECOME LOOSE AND FALL OFF OF WINDOW PARTS COULD LEAD TO INADVERTENT AND DANGEROUS FAILURE OF WINDOWS ON THE ROAD. I SUGGEST YOU INVESTIGATE THIS POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE.

Summary

I FILED A SIMILAR COMPLAINT IN JANUARY 2017 UNDER COMPLAINT 10947803 AND NOW REALIZE THE DIPSTICK/DIPSTICK TUBE DEFECT ON THESE CARS CAN ALSO BE CATEGORIZED UNDER "OTHER". ------- THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE OIL DIPSTICK AND/OR DIPSTICK TUBE ON THE 2015 TOYOTA COROLLA WHICH USES 0W-20 OIL. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO OBTAIN AN ACCURATE READING ON THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL AND I HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED THIS ON ANY OTHER VEHICLE. THE OIL TENDS TO FORM A LONG "TAIL" UP THE DIPSTICK MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DISCERN WHERE THE ACTUAL LEVEL IS. ATTEMPTING TO OBTAIN A READING WITH MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS YIELDS DIFFERENT POSSIBLE OIL LEVELS AND THE LEVELS ARE DIFFERENT ON EACH SIDE OF THE DIPSTICK. I WOULD NOTE THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED ON NUMEROUS FORUMS ON THE INTERNET INCLUDING FORUMS DEDICATED TO TOYOTA ENTHUSIASTS AS WELL AS GENERAL CAR FORUMS AND ENGINE OIL FORUMS. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED NOT ONLY FOR THE COROLLA BUT ALSO FOR OTHER TOYOTA MODELS. SOME OWNERS HAVE RESORTED TO MODIFYING THE DIPSTICK WHICH SHOULD NOT BE NECESSARY. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. NOT BEING ABLE TO OBTAIN AN ACCURATE READING OF ENGINE OIL LEVEL PUTS THE ENGINE AT RISK OF DAMAGE AND EVEN SERIOUS AND SUDDEN FAILURE IF THE OIL IS OVER OR UNDER FILLED. ENGINE DAMAGE AND PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH CAN OBVIOUSLY OCCUR IF ENGINE FAILURE OCCURS WHILE IN OPERATION ON ROADS. TOYOTA SHOULD TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION ON THIS ISSUE, INVESTIGATE IT, AND PROVIDE A FIX AVAILABLE AT DEALERSHIPS AND ANNOUNCE THAT FIX TO OWNERS. IT IS UNCLEAR WHETHER IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ACTUAL DIPSTICK DESIGN, THE TUBE THAT THE DIPSTICK GOES INTO, OR OTHER, BUT A FIX IS DEFINITELY IN ORDER. I URGE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE.

IF I'M UNABLE TO TAKE TO A DEALERSHIP, I'M TO HAVE SOMEONE ELSE PERFORM THE REPAIR AND THEN TOYOTA WILL REIMBURSE ME. THE DEALERSHIP IN COSTA RICA, WHERE MY CAR IS LOCATED, WILL NOT PERFORM THE REPAIR. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA AND AM UNABLE TO FIND OUT EXACTLY WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE OR HOW TO GET REIMBURSED ONCE THE REPAIR IS COMPLETE. THE LAST COMMUNICATION I HAD WITH TOYOTA, A REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME HE WAS WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM JAPAN AND THAT HE WOULD ONLY EMAIL ME IF HE HEARD AND THEY GAVE HIM RELEVANT INFORMATION. SURELY SOMEONE AT THE TOYOTA COMPANY MUST KNOW THE REPAIR NEEDED. IN THE MEANTIME, I KEEP RECEIVING NOTICES FROM TOYOTA ABOUT HOW UNSAFE MY CAR IS AND TO GET IT FIXED IMMEDIATELY. I'M TRYING!!!

Summary

VEHICLE SOLD WITH A DEFECTIVE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. TOOK OUR 2015 TOYOTA COROLLA INTO A SHOP TO GET THE WINDOWS TINTED, THE VENDOR THAT TINTED THE WINDOWS STATED THE VEHICLE WINDOWS SHOULD NOT BE ROLLED DOWN FOR 5 DAYS TO ALLOW THE WINDOW TINT TO DRY. WE FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE VENDOR (TINT MY RIDE) - 1330 S PARKER RD, DENVER, CO 80231 - (720) 808-8286. WE BEGIN ROLLING THE WINDOWS DOWN AFTER 5 DAYS AS INSTRUCTED A FEW WEEKS WENT BY AND I NOTICED A GAP BETWEEN THE TINT AND THE CAR DOOR. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE VENDOR TINT MY RIDE TO HAVE THEM CORRECT THE WINDOW TINT ISSUE AND THE REPRESENTATIVE WHO SOLD MY THE WINDOW TINT (VERONICA) MENTIONED THAT IT WAS NOT A WINDOW TINT ISSUE AND THAT IT WAS A CAR WINDOW ISSUE WITH THE WINDOW SLIDING AND BEING OFF TRACK. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IF CAR MANUFACTURERS ARE ABLE TO SELL BRAND NEW VEHICLES WITH WINDOWS THAT ARE DEFECTIVE AND OFF TRACK. THIS VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND WE HAVE ALWAYS TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN TO GET IT MAINTENANCE ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIPS RECOMMENDATIONS. HOW CAN A DEALERSHIP SELL A BRAND NEW VEHICLE TO A CUSTOMER THAT HAS A DEFECTIVE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW? THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AS A SAFETY ISSUE AS I AM CONCERNED THERE MAY BE OTHER SAFETY CONCERNS WITH THIS VEHICLE.

Summary

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2015 COROLLA S ON MARCH 2015, A MONTH LATER I STARTED TO HEAR CREEKING NOISE WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKES PEDAL, WENT TO THE DEALER THEY TESTED THE CAR AND SAID "YES WE HEARD THE SOUND BUT YOUR BRAKE IS TOTALLY PERFECT AND IS SAFE TO DRIVE". I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE CAR BUT THE SAME SOUND LIKE CRACKLING STILL THERE WHEN I BRAKE. I WENT AGAIN TO THEM, THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR TWO OR THREE DAYS AND THEY SAID "WE CHANGED THE FRONT BRAKE SHIMS". AND MOST IMPORTANTLY THEY SAID, YOUR CAR NOW IS TOTALLY SAFE. AFTER THAT I STARTED TO FEEL THAT THE BRAKES DO NOT STOP THE CAR AS FAST AS IT WAS BEFORE NOR AS YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM A NEW CAR PLUS A NEW CREEKING SOUND THAT I COULDN'T DETECT FROM FRONT OR REAR WHEELS, AT THAT TIME IT WAS MY FIRST SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE VISIT SO I TOLD THEM ABOUT IT, THEN THEY SAID "WE TESTED THE CAR AND THE BRAKES WORK WELL", I SAID "I KNOW IT WORKS BUT NOT PERFECTLY & NOT AS FAST AS BEFORE", THEY SAID "DON'T WORRY IT'S SAFE". A YEAR LATER "JANUARY 2016", I HAD A SMALL FREEWAY ACCIDENT WHERE I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME DUE TO A QUICK STOP AND I HIT MY BRAKES AS FAST AS POSSIBLE BUT STILL HIT THE CAR AND THE INSURANCE SAID I'M AT FAULT. A YEAR AND HALF LATER "JULY 2017" MY WIFE HAD A BIG BIG FREEWAY ACCIDENT ALSO DUE TO A QUICK STOP FROM THE CAR IN FRONT, WE HAD A MASSIVE DAMAGE TO OUR CAR AND OF COURSE THE INSURANCE SAID WE ARE AT FAULT. TWO MONTH LATER "SEPTEMBER 2017" SAME THING HAPPENED A QUICK STOP ON FREEWAY AND AT THIS TIME I FELT LIKE THERE IS SOMETHING WEIRD GOING ON, I HAD ENOUGH TIME AND DISTANCE BETWEEN ME AND THE CAR IN FRONT BUT STILL I CRASHED HIM. EVERY TIME I WAS SAYING I CANNOT PROVE THAT THERE IS A DEFECT WITHIN THE CAR ITSELF, BUT I STILL HAVE THE SAME FEELING OF THE SLOW RESPONDING BRAKES AND THE FEEL THAT THE CAR RUNS UNDER MY FEET UNCONTROLLABLY WHEN I HIT MY BRAKES EVEN AS FAST AND POWERFUL AS POSSIBLE.

MY DAUGHTER WAS ON A 2 LANE STRETCH OF I-15 HIGHWAY SOUTHBOUND, APPROX 7 MILES NORTH OF LASVEGAS NV. SHE WAS IN THE LEFT LANE SLOWLY CREEPING BY A 18 WHEEL RIG W/TRAILER. SHE WAS DOING 74 WITH CRUISE CONTROL AND WITNESSES SAY THE RIG MUST HAVE BEEN DOING 73MPH. HE VIOLENTLY TURNED INTO HER LANE CAUSING HER TO DO EVASIVE MANEUVER LEFT AND BRAKE HARD SKIDDING INTO THE SOFT SHOULDER THEN SPINNING CLOCKWISE CROSSING TO THE RIGHT SIDE HITTING A SMALL SHOULDER ELEVATION CHANGE WITH BOTH DRIVERS SIDE WHEELS, CAUSING A DOUBLE ROLL OVER AND A CARTWHEEL LANDING ON THE TRUNK, THEN COMING TO A REST ON THE ROOF. NOT A SINGLE AIR BAG DEPLOYED! SHE SUFFERED MULTIPLE BLUNT HITS TO THE HEAD FROM HITTING AGAINST THE DOOR, SHE HAS A CONCUSSION WITH SPRAINED SHOULDER AND ANKLES. GRANTED SHE SHOULD BE IN MUCH WORSE CONDITION BUT WE ARE GRATEFUL SHE HAD HER BLANKETS AND HER DOGS BEDS THAT FLEW FROM THE BACK SEAT TO THE FRONT HELPING TO KEEP HER PADDED FROM EVEN MORE TRAUMA. I FEEL THAT A SIDE CURTAIN AND STEERING BAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. IS THIS A FLUKE THAT TOYOTA ENGINEERS MISSED? BECAUSE NO PARTICULAR CORNER WAS IMPACTED? THE ROLLOVER IMPACTS WERE AT THE WHEELS, JUST ABOVE BOTH BUMPERS AND THE ENTIRE ROOF AREA.

AAA TOW TRUCK DRIVER CAME AND SAID BRAKES WENT TO FLOOR AND HE HAD TO USE E-BRAKE TO PUT ON TRUCK. HE STATES WHEN HE GOT BACK TO GARAGE BRAKES WORKED. I TOLD TOYOTA. THEY CHECKED BRAKES OUT AND SAID EVERYTHING WAS WORKING FINE. I ASKED THEM TO LOOK AT BLACK BOX. THEY SENT ME RESULTS. I HAD MY INSURANCE CO. LOOK AT THEM ALONG WITH TOYOTA SERVICE ADVISER. BOTH SAID DATA SHOWS GAS APPLIED BEFORE BRAKE. I LOOKED UNDER CAR COMPLAINTS. OTHER PEOPLE HAD SAME PROBLEM. SOME HAD AUTOMATIC ACCELERATION. I DID NOT TELL THEM TO CHECK THAT OUT BECAUSE OF STATEMENT FROM TOW TRUCK GUY. SHE SAID IT HAPPENED SO FAST SHE DOESN'T REMEMBER. THE TIN WHISKERING WAS A PROBLEM FOR TOYOTA IN THE PAST. I BELIEVE THAT THEY HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. CAN THE DATA SHOW IF GAS APPLIED BY DRIVER OR AUTOMATICALLY CAME ON? I HAVE SPOKEN TO ATTORNEYS AND NO ONE SEEMS TO WANT TO TAKE THIS CASE. MY DAUGHTER HAS BACK PAIN AND OTHER ISSUES. AS A PARENT I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO. CAR HAS BEEN REPAIRED. IT IS A LEASE. ( NINE MONTHS LEFT TO PAY.)

THERE IS NO WAY TO MAKE IT COMFORTABLE WITH THE AC OR HEATER ON WITHOUT A CONTESTANT BATTLE. IT IS CLAUSTROPHOBIC IN ANY SEAT. WHEN THE CAR WAS SOLD TO ME. I WAS DECEIVED AND LIED TO. I FOUND A CHUNK BEHIND THE HUB CAP ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO MISSING OUT OF THE WHEEL WELL. I HAVE HAD TO REFILL THE TIRES NUMEROUS TIMES. THIS CAR CAN BE PARKED, DRIVING, SITTING AT A LIGHT, DOESN'T MATTER. IT IS OFFENSIVE AND I WAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF.

ENGINE DAMAGE AND PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH CAN OBVIOUSLY OCCUR IF ENGINE FAILURE OCCURS WHILE IN OPERATION ON ROADS. TOYOTA SHOULD TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION ON THIS ISSUE, INVESTIGATE IT, AND PROVIDE A FIX AVAILABLE AT DEALERSHIPS AND ANNOUNCE THAT FIX TO OWNERS. IT IS UNCLEAR WHETHER IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ACTUAL DIPSTICK DESIGN, THE TUBE THAT THE DIPSTICK GOES INTO, OR OTHER, BUT A FIX IS DEFINITELY IN ORDER.

Summary

CAR DRIFTS TOWARD THE LEFT THUS CAUSES CONSTANT CORRECTION ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 30 AND ABOVE. CONTROLLING THIS IS VERY TIRING AND MORE IMPORTANTLY CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WITH THE CAR IN THE OTHER LANE. WITH THIS DISTRACTION IT LEAVES ONE NOT GIVING OTHER SAFETY OBSERVATIONS AS MUCH TIME TO MONITOR.. TOYOTA HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS IN OLDER MODEL YEARS BUT HAS FAILED TO ADDRESS IT SINCE NOT ENOUGH OWNERS CARS OR AFFECTED BY THIS DRIFTING OR SIMPLY THRU APATHY. AS I UNDERSTAND IT, IT IS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE ECU UNIT THAT IS PART OF THE STEERING UNIT. MY PREDICTION IS THAT NOTHING WILL COME OUT OF THIS COMPLAINTS AS WITH OTHER OWNERS HAVE REPORTED ON GOOGLE. *TR

Summary

THE MAIN FRONT LED LOW-BEAM IS A PROBLEM ON ALL TRIMS OF THIS CURRENT GENERATION. IT IS TOO BRIGHT AND BLINDS ONCOMING DRIVERS, THERE IS ALSO A HARD CUTOFF LINE IN WHICH YOU CAN'T SEE ANYTHING ABOVE IT. THEY ALSO POORLY LIGHT THE ROAD. THE BEAM GOES EVERYWHERE BUT THE ROAD. IT SEEMS THEY ARE INCORRECTLY AIMED. THERE IS ALSO A TAIL-LIGHT PROBLEM THAT AFFECTS THE HIGHER-END TRIMS OF THIS GENERATION. THERE IS A DRL OPTION, WHICH IS THE FIRST ONE, THAT TURNS ON THE FRONT LOW-BEAM, YOU CAN SEE THAT YOUR FRONT HEADLIGHTS ARE ON, BUT YOU DON'T REALIZE YOUR TAIL-LIGHTS AREN'T ON AND THAT YOU HAVE TO TURN THE STOCK AGAIN TO TURN THEM ON. THERE IS NO INDICATOR ON THE DASH THAT SIGNIFIES ANY SORT OF EXTERIOR LIGHTING IS ON BESIDES THE HIGH-BEAM. I'VE SEEN MULTIPLE COROLLA DRIVERS ON THE ROAD WITH ONLY DRLS ON AT NIGHT. THE LOWER END TRIMS DON'T SUFFER THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SEE THE DASH AT NIGHT WITHOUT TURNING ON THE TAILLIGHTS, THE HIGHER END TRIMS HAVE AN ALWAYS LIT DASH. THIS CREATES A HAZARD IN WHICH THE COROLLA IN FRONT OF YOU IS UNLIT IN THE REAR AND ALLOWS A REAR-END COLLISION BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SEE THEM.

Summary

THE NEW TOYOTA COROLLA'S HAVE SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THEIR HEADLIGHT DESIGN. FIRST, THE DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS ON VEHICLES WITH THE XENON OR LED LIGHTS APPEARS TO BE THE SAME LIGHTS THAT RUN AT NIGHT WHEN YOU TURN ON THE SWITCH. THIS MEANS THAT PEOPLE IN ONCOMING LANES CONSTANTLY FLASH THEIR LIGHTS THINKING THE BRIGHT LIGHTS ARE ON DURING THE DAY BECAUSE IT IS EXTREMELY BRIGHT. I'VE ALSO NOTICED THAT A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME CAR DON'T REALIZE THEY HAVE TO MANUALLY TURN ON THEIR LIGHTS SINCE THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS IS THE SAME AS WHEN THE SWITCH IS TURNED ON. PEOPLE MUST THINK THEY HAVE AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS AND SUBSEQUENTLY FAIL TO TURN THEIR LIGHT SWITCH ON WHICH MEANS THEY HAVE NO REAR LIGHTS. I CAN SEE THIS CAUSING SO MANY ACCIDENTS, ESPECIALLY IN THE RAIN OR AT NIGHT. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. PEOPLE HAVE ALSO COMPLAINED TO ME THAT IT LOOKS LIKE THE BRIGHT LIGHTS ARE ON WHEN THEY'RE NOT AND THE HEADLIGHTS ARE "BLINDINGLY BRIGHT", BUT HOW THE LIGHTS ARE AIMED OR DESIGNED, THEY DON'T CAST MUCH LIGHT ON THE ROAD AHEAD. IT SEEMS LIKE THE LIGHT IS JUST DIFFUSED IN ALL DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS INSTEAD OF IN A BEAM LIKE NORMAL HEADLIGHTS. THERE IS A HUGE ISSUE WITH THESE NEW COROLLA MODELS' LIGHTING SYSTEMS AND TOYOTA NEEDS TO RETROFIT THEM IMMEDIATELY TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS. IN ADDITION, THIS CAR BASICALLY HAS NO POWER WHICH MAKES IT NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE TO PULL OUT IN TRAFFIC AS THE AWFUL CVT TRANSMISSION TAKES FOREVER TO RESPOND. ONCE THE ENGINE HAS FINALLY WOKEN UP FROM ITS SLEEP, IT OFFERS TERRIBLE RESPONSE AND IS EXTREMELY SLOW PICKING UP SPEED. THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH ALL COROLLA'S BECAUSE OF HOW HEAVY THE CAR IS FOR HOW LITTLE POWER TOYOTA GIVES IT. I ALSO HATE THE HUGE BLIND SPOTS CREATED BY THE AWKWARDLY SHAPED REAR END. I'M GLAD THIS IS JUST A RENTAL CAR, BUT I FEEL SO BAD FOR OWNERS OF THIS TYPE OF CAR.

I HAD A 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA WHICH WOULD NOT PASS INSPECTION DUE TO TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL WITH NO PARTS AVAILABLE FOR ESTIMATED 1 TO 2 YEARS. SO I HAD TO TRADE IT ON A NEW 2015 TOYOTA SINCE NO OTHER MANUFACTURER WOULD TAKE IT AND I COULD NOT SELL IT AS IS. TOYOTA WOULD AND WILL NOT TELL ME IF 2015 COROLLA HAS TAKATA AIRBAGS SO IT MUST HAVE THEM. THUS, THIS 2015 CAR SHOULD BE ON RECALL AS WELL. I UNDERSTAND TOYOTA IS NO LONGER USING TAKATA AS A SOURCE FOR AIRBAGS. THEY HAVE A SYSTEM ON MY NEW CAR WHICH SHUTS OFF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IF NO ONE IS IN THAT SEAT BUT THAT IS NOT A SATISFACTORY SOLUTION. TAKATA AIRBAGS ARE LIFE THREATENING AND SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM CAR AND REPLACED AT TOYOTA'S EXPENSE.

Summary

I PURCHASED A 2015 TOYOTA COROLLA FROM CHARLES MAUND TOYOTA ON JUNE 15, 2015 AND AROUND A MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT IT, I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE BREAKS EVER SINCE. MY SERVICE TECHNICIAN AND OTHER SERVICE MEN SAID A LOT OF PEOPLE HAD BEEN BRINGING THESE CARS (2015 TOYOTA COROLLA) BACK FOR THE SAME NOISE AND OTHER BRAKE ISSUES AS I DESCRIBED. THERE IS A CRACKING NOISE WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES SOMETIMES. DEALER SERVICE MEN SAID THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I WILL ALWAYS HEAR BECAUSE OF THE MATERIALS TOYOTA MAKES THEIR BRAKES AND PADS OUT OF, ONCE IT REACHES A CERTAIN TEMPERATURE, I WILL HEAR THE NOISE. SOMETIMES BRAKE PEDAL GOES DOWN TO THE FLOOR BY ITS SELF AFTER I HAVE STOPPED. SERVICE MEN SAID THEY FELT THE BRAKE PEDAL GO DOWN AND SAID THEY FIXED IT. BUT ON OCTOBER 30, 2015 IT STARTED GOING DOWN BY ITS SELF AGAIN. BOTH FRONT WHEELS NOW MAKING LOUD POPPING OR KNOCKING NOISE WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE SOMETIMES AND WHEELS DO NOT STOP, THEY KEEP TURNING. SERVICE MEN SAID THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE IT NEVER HAPPENED WHEN THEY DROVE THE CAR. OCTOBER 21, I HAD ANOTHER SCARY EVENT IN THE PARKING LOT AT MY JOB AS I WAS LEAVING WORK FOR THE DAY IN MY 2015 TOYOTA COROLLA. AS I WENT AROUND THE FIRST CURVE IN THE GARAGE, THE POPPING OR KNOCKING NOISE FROM THE RIGHT WHEEL STARTED AGAIN WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, AS I WENT AROUND THE 2ND CURVE AND BRAKED, THE POPPING NOISE CAME FROM BOTH WHEELS AND THEY DID NOT STOP ROLLING WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THE BRAKE. THE WHEELS KEPT TURNING, IT FELT LIKE WHEN YOU THINK YOU HAVE TIGHTEN A BOLT ALL THE WAY, BUT THEN IT SLIPS A LITTLE FURTHER. I HAVE THE MOST PROBLEMS WHEN GOING DOWN A SLOPE.

Summary

EVERYDAY I SEE AT LEAST 5 PEOPLE IN 2014-2016 COROLLA MODELS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH THEIR DRLS ON BUT NO OTHER LIGHTS. THIS OCCURS BECAUSE THE VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH LED HEADLIGHTS USE THEIR REGULAR BEAM AS THE DRL AND PEOPLE ASSUME THEY HAVE AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS. HOWEVER THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS THERE ARE NO TAILLIGHTS ON. I HAVE SEEN SO MANY PEOPLE DRIVING IN THE PITCH BLACK WITH NO TAILLIGHTS. PLEASE ISSUE MANDATORY RECALL TO REFIT VEHICLES WITH WARNING THAT HEADLIGHTS AREN'T AUTOMATIC IN OFF POSITION EVEN WITH DRL ON OR ADD LIGHT SENSOR THAT CAN DETECT DARKNESS AND AUTOMATICALLY ACTIVATES TAILLIGHTS. THIS SHOULD ALSO APPLY TO RAINY CONDITIONS AS HARDLY ANY TOYOTA DRIVERS KNOW THAT MOST STATES REQUIRE HEADLIGHTS ON IN RAIN.

Summary

I PURCHASED A 2015 TOYOTA COROLLA IN AUGUST 2015. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR ABOUT THREE DAYS I NOTICED A VERY STRONG WAVE EFFECT WAS PRESENT IN THE WINDSHIELD THAT SPANNED THE LENGTH OF THE GLASS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM AND A SERIES OF WAVES WITH VARYING WIDTH SPANNED THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD. IT APPEARED AS THOUGH THE THICKNESS OF THE GLASS VARIED. DRIVING THE CAR CAUSED MIGRAINE HEADACHES AND IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONCENTRATE OF THE ROAD BECAUSE OF THE DISTORTION PRESENT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE EFFECT IS SIMILAR TO LOOKING THROUGH EYEGLASSES THAT ARE THE WRONG PRESCRIPTION, OR USING READER GLASSES THAT ARE TOO STRONG. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO DID SEE THE DEFECT AND WORKED WITH ME TO REPLACE IT. UPON PICKING THE CAR UP I FOUND THE REPLACEMENT WINDSHIELD HAD THE SAME DEFECT BUT IN A DIFFERENT SPOT. THE DEFECT THIS TIME WAS IN THE CENTER OF THE GLASS MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO LOOK INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHEN TRYING TO MAKE A TURN. THE CAR WAS AGAIN RETURNED TO THE DEALER WHO CONFIRMED THE PRESENCE OF THE DEFECT AND AGREED TO YET AGAIN REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD. THE THIRD REPLACEMENT WINDSHIELD IS NOW ON THE CAR AND ALTHOUGH THE EFFECT IS NOT AS STRONG AS THE FIRST TWO THE THIRD WINDSHIELD ALSO HAS NOTICEABLE WAVES GOING THROUGH THE DRIVERS SIDE AND A VERY OBVIOUS RIPPLING EFFECT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. THERE APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT IN EVERY WINDSHIELD THAT IS COMING FROM THE MANUFACTURER FACTORY, THESE HAVE ALL BEEN OEM WINDSHIELDS. IT CAUSES HEADACHES, IS A DISTRACTION WHEN DRIVING DUE TO OBJECTS CHANGING SHAPE WHILE DRIVING, AND I AM CONCERNED THAT IT IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE LAMINATE AND GLASS HAVE NOT BEEN PROPERLY TEMPERED AND BONDED TOGETHER, THEREFORE MAKING THE WINDSHIELD WEAKER IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. I BELIEVE THE ASASHI GLASS COMPANY IS EXPORTING DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELDS TO BE PLACED ON COROLLAS.

THE HEADLIGHTS IN THE TOYOTA COROLLA ARE BLINDINGLY BRIGHT. THE TOYOTA COROLLA LIGHTS ARE UPON THE WORSE OFFENDERS OF HEADLIGHTS THAT ARE SO BRIGHT THEY ARE CAUSING TEMPORARY BLINDNESS. I HAVE NOTICED FOR MONTHS THIS MODEL HAS HEADLIGHTS THAT ARE TOO BRIGHT, BUT I AM WRITING TODAY BECAUSE OF A RECENT EXPERIENCE WHERE I TEMPORARILY LOST THE ABILITY TO SEE AT NIGHT DUE TO A COROLLA. TOYOTA NOW IS ADVERTISING THEIR BRIGHT HEADLIGHTS TO SELL VEHICLES. THE PURSUIT OF BRIGHT HEADLIGHTS IN COROLLA SHOULD TO BE PUT INTO CHECK BY FEDERAL REGULATORS BEFORE THEY CAUSE ACCIDENTS AND LEAD TO INJURIES OR DEATHS.

Summary

WHEN DRIVING THE TOYOTA COROLLA S 2015 AT NIGHT AND ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING DOWNHILL, HALF OF THE WINDSHIELD IS DARK HORIZONTALLY FROM THE MIDDLE UP. SOME DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS MAY EXPERIENCE MORE DEPENDING ON THE HEIGHT OF THE PERSON DRIVING OR RIDING IN THE VEHICLE. THE WINDSHIELD APPEARS TO GO COMPLETELY DARK IN SOME CASES AND IS VERY SCARY! THIS IS MY DADS CAR AND HE IS 67 YEARS OLD AND IS SCARED TO DRIVE AT NIGHT DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I AM 36 YEARS OLD AND AT THE TIME I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST HIM COMPLAINING. HOWEVER, I DROVE THE CAR TONIGHT 9/9/2015 AND IT WAS SCARY TO GO DOWNHILL, AND THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED VERY SOON BEFORE SOMEONE GETS BADLY HURT OR KILLED. IF YOU TURN THE HIGH BEAMS ON YOU DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THIS DOES NOT HELP WHEN YOU HAVE TO TURN BACK OFF THE HIGH BEAMS DUE TO ANOTHER CAR COMING TOWARDS YOU OF COURSE. ANOTHER PERSON DESCRIBED IT VERY WELL ON THIS SITE HTTPS://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/ HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION WAS SENT IN BY CULLMAN, AL, USA AND HE OR SHE DESCRIBED IT BEST BELOW: "THE LOW-BEAM LIGHT DESIGN ON THE LENS COVER CUTS OFF THE TOP VIEW OF LIGHT AT NIGHT TIME. YOU SEE LIGHT FROM THE GROUND UP BUT ONLY HALFWAY UP. FROM THERE YOU ONLY SEE DARKNESS. IT LOOKS LIKE A HALF-LIT MOON BEAM FROM THE GROUND UP. YOU ONLY SEE THE BOTTOM HALF OF THE TREES IT IS LIKE A STRAIGHT LINE DRAWN BETWEEN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR VIEW IN FRONT OF THE CAR. WHITE ON THE BOTTOM HALF AND BLACK ON THE TOP HALF. I AM SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE MY CAR AROUND CURVES AND LULLS IN THE ROADS. YOUR NIGHT VISION IS EXTREMELY LIMITED. IT IS VERY STRAINING TO HAVE TO LOOK AHEAD AND AT THE SAME TIME YOU HAVE TO KEEP TWO DIFFERENT COLORS SEPARATED."

THERE HAS BEEN NO INCIDENT OR ACCIDENT AS A RESULT OF THIS DEFECT. I BOUGHT A 2015 TOYOTA COROLLA 8/29/15. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR 3 DAYS I NOTICE THAT THE WINDSHIELD APPEARS TO HAVE A DEFECT IN THE GLASS. THE GLASS APPEARS TO HAVE VARYING DEGREES OF THICKNESS AS IT SLIGHTLY DISTORTS THE IMAGE YOU SEE THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. THERE IS A WAVE APPEARANCE WHEN LOOKING THROUGH THE GLASS. THIS IS VERY DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING AND ALSO CAUSES YOUR EYES TO STRAIN WHILE KEEPING YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD AND THEREFORE IS CAUSING MIGRAINES.

Summary

I RENTED THIS CAR (TOYOTA COROLLA 2015) AND WAS UNFAMILIAR WITH ALL THE DETAILS. MY PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE WITH MANY CARS OVER THE YEARS NEVER BROUGHT ME AN AWARENESS THAT THE TRUNK LID COULD POTENTIALLY DAMAGE MY HEAD, NECK, OR BACK IN A SEVERE AND POSSIBLY LONG LASTING WAY. I NATURALLY OPENED THE TRUNK LID, BENT IN TO PULL OUT MY BAG, AND WHAM! THE LID SLAMS DOWN ON ME.ONE OF THE MOST DAMAGING PARTS IS THE LATCH WHICH PROTRUDES PAST THE TRUNK'S EDGE AND FORMS A TRIANGLE SHAPE. THIS IS WHAT CONCENTRATED THE BLOW DIRECTLY INTO MY SPINE. I HAVE SEEN COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME PROBLEM, "TRUNK LID WONT STAY IN UPRIGHT POSITION" DATING BACK TO 2009. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN FIXED YEARS AGO BEFORE IT WAS ABLE TO INJURE ME? AND HOW MANY UNSUSPECTING PEOPLE WILL CONTINUE TO BE INJURED IN THE FUTURE? THIS IS WHY I AM TAKING THE TIME TO EXPRESS MY ANGER, FRUSTRATION, AND DISGUST. PLEASE I AM CALLING THIS OUT, DO SOMETHING! TOYOTA DESERVES A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT!

I OWN A 2015 TOYOTA COROLLA S PREMIUM. IT HAS THE RADIO SYSTEM WITH BLUE TOOTH AND GPS. THE PROBLEM IS THAT WHILE I AM LISTENING TO THE RADIO AND THE GPS COMES ON GIVING DIRECTIONS, THE RADIO DOES NOT FADE SO THE RADIO AND THE GPS ARE TALKING OVER EACH OTHER AND I CAN'T UNDERSTAND THE GPS. BECAUSE OF THE CONFUSION OF BOTH VOICES I HAVE MADE THE WRONG TURN WHICH HAS ALMOST LED TO ACCIDENTS. 1-800 TOYOTA CLAIMS THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM BUT, EVEN MY DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT AGREES THERE IS. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS BUT, NOTHING IS REALLY BEING DONE.

IMMEDIATE ATTENTION REQUIRED RE:2015 TOYOTA COROLLA ? DANGEROUS STEERING FAILURE DEAR NHTSA, ON DECEMBER 8, 2014, I PURCHASED A NEW 2015 TOYOTA COROLLA. ON FEBRUARY 9, 2015, THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED TO OPERATE WHILE I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN, LEAVING ME STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. TURNING THE WHEEL CAUSED NO INPUT TO THE WHEELS. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME THAT ?THE COMPUTER BECAME OVERWHELMED.? THANKFULLY THERE WAS NOT A WRECK. AFTER STOPPING, THERE WERE NO WARNINGS LIGHTS OR MESSAGES. I CLICKED EVERY DISPLAY FEATURE IN AN ATTEMPT TO DECIPHER WHAT HAD GONE SO WRONG WITH MY NEW CAR. I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE, WAITED A MOMENT, AND IT TURNED IT BACK ON AT WHICH TIME THE STEERING WHEEL WARNING SIGN APPEARED. I WAS ILL AND HAD A DOCTOR?S APPOINTMENT, SO I REACHED OUT TO TOYOTACARE AS SOON AS MY APPOINTMENT CONCLUDED. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT AUTONATION HAS ALWAYS PROVIDED TOPNOTCH SERVICE, AND THEY HAVE CONTINUED TO DO SO THROUGH THIS DANGEROUS, DISAPPOINTING AND PUZZLING FAILURE.

Summary

ON DECEMBER 24TH 2014 I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE (2014 TOYOTA COROLLA S) IN (D) AND WAS TRYING TO SLOW DOWN, BECAUSE THE DRIVER IN FRONT OF ME BRAKE. WHEN I DEPRESSED MY BRAKE PEDAL THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED. I SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND CONTINUED TO BRAKE AND IT EVENTUALLY SLOWED ME DOWN. I SHIFTED BACK INTO (D) AND CONTINUED ON MY WAY, ALTHOUGH SHAKEN UP. THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE GOOD, THERE WAS NO RAIN OR ICE ON THE ROAD THAT DAY. I CHECKED MY FLOOR MATS TO SEE IF THEY WERE STICKING TO THE ACCELERATION PEDAL WHEN I GOT INTO THE DRIVEWAY, BUT I DID NOT NOTICE ANY SUCH DEFECT WITH THE FLOOR MATS STICKING TO THE PEDAL. A FEW WEEKS LATER DRIVING TO WORK ON 01/20/2015 AROUND THE SAME SPEED ON THE SAME ROAD CONDITIONS THE VEHICLE GAVE ME UNWANTED ACCELERATION AGAIN WHILE ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE. I PERFORMED THE SAME WAY I HAD PREVIOUSLY, I ENTERED INTO NEUTRAL AND BRAKED, EXCEPT THIS TIME I CAME WITHIN INCHES OF THE VEHICLE FORWARD OF ME. THE NEXT DAY ON 01/21/2015 WHILE DRIVING TO WORK THE VEHICLE AGAIN PERFORMED THE EXACT SAME MALFUNCTION AS THE PREVIOUS DAY. ON ALL DAYS THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE FINE AND SHOULD HAVE NOT AFFECTED THE VEHICLES PERFORMANCE. I DECIDED TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD LEASED THE VEHICLE. I SET UP AN APPOINTMENT AND HAD LEFT IT THERE 01/24/2015-01/26/2015. I RECEIVED THE VEHICLE BACK ON 01/26/2015 AND THE MASTER MECHANIC FOUND NO DEFECTS. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER WOULD CONTACT ME. AFTER HE HAD NOT FOR A FEW DAYS, I DECIDED TO CALL HIM. I HAD GOTTEN HIS VOICEMAIL AND LEFT A MESSAGE. TO DATE I HAVE STILL NOT RECEIVED A CALL BACK FROM THE SERVICE MANAGER. I HAVE DECIDED TO TAKE PRECAUTIONS AND BEGIN A VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLAINT. I WOULD LIKE THIS MATTER RESOLVED BEFORE MYSELF OR ANYONE ELSE BECOMES INJURED OR WORSE. *TR
