While driving the car started to sputter like it was going to die. When I stopped to gas the next day a gush of air came out of the gas tank when I took the cap off. I put gas in and then my car wouldn’t start. For 3 hours I tried and finally it started. Now I can have in park and it revs clear to the 5 sometimes then it starts sputtering. Every time I put gas in I have to sit for 3 hours then it starts. The trac off light on the dash is on as well so nothing works the lane control, cruise control, the emergency brake system.
While driving at 55 mph, cruise control engaged, the vehicle suddenly lost power, the cruise control disengaged, the engine light came on and the traction control disengaged warning was displayed. The vehicle continued operating. After engine fault code stated there was a Mass Airflow Sensor fault. Owner replaced the sensor. Two weeks later, the situation repeated, this time the fault read as an oxygen sensor error. After a day or two, the fault would clear, only to repeat a week or two later. Then, on Dec. 31, the vehicle completely stalled at highway speeds. It would restart, but if the rpms exceeded 2,500 it would stall again. Trying to get an appointment with the dealership, but will have to wait until after the New Year for them to open again.
The driver door will no longer open from the inside. As a driver door this door does not have child safety lock nor should it have one. This makes exiting the car very difficult under normal situations and prevents exiting the car in the event of an emergency. I had a mechanic dissemble the door and the mechanic discovered that the door handle mechanism had failed internally so that the interior door handle was no longer connected internally to the door opening mechanism. The only way to exit the vehicle is to either crawl to another door or to roll down the windows (which requires electric power to be available). This problem occurred suddenly without any warning.

The contact owns a 2018 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated while coming out of a complete stop, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was able to be restarted and functionality was regained. The contact stated that the check engine warning lights were illuminated. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with, NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V012000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The vehicle was repaired but continued to experience failure. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and the contact was awaiting a response. The failure mileage was approximately 76,000. Consumer stated engine light and "Traction Control Turned Off" warning while vehicle was still moving, then "Charging System Malfunction" and "Oil Pressure Low/Stop in a Safe Place" warning lights appeared at the same time the vehicle stalled.
2018 Toyota Corolla - Front drivers seat is making clicking noises while driving. I believe seat is not properly secured and may be unsafe to drive. Car was under the Manufactures warranty when taken into Bill Kidds Toyota for service. Service manager was able to duplicate clicking noise while test driving car. Bill Kidds Toyota refuse to investigate any further. I went on-line and found similar complaints to my vehicles problem. One person stated the problem is with the seat track not being secured properly. I reached out to Toyota Motors to file a formal complaint, and they referred me back to the dealership. Dealership is refusing service. I think this may not be an isolated issue with the 2018 Corolla. I would like Toyota to further investigate and force dealership to properly inspect my seat which was under warranty at time of original complaint. Thank You.
MY CAR HAD EARLY SIGNS OF PROBLEMS WITHIN ONLY THE SECOND YEAR. IT HAD STOPPED TWO TIMES. IF THIS CAR STOPS BEFORE THE 18,000 OR LEMON LAW RETURN IT. I THEN WAS NOTIFIED THAT IT HAD 3 RECALLS. MY CAR WAS ACTUALLY STILL DRIVEABLE. I ALSO WANT TO DISCLOSE THAT I DEALL WITH ENVIROMENTAL ALLERGIES. I HAD THE VEHICLE FIXED SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO PROBLEM. HOWEVER, AFTER THE RECALLS WERE FIXED WITH THE FUEL PUMP AND AIR BAG I STARTED TO BECOME EXTREMLY ILL . I EVER PURCHASED A VOC MONITOR AND WAS ABLET TO DETECT GAS AT DANGEROUS LEVELS. MY DEALER TOYOTA BOWIE AND THE MANUFACTURER DID LITTLE TO NOTHING TO ACCOMODATE ME. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER TOYOTA AGAIN, OR A CAR PERIOD UNLESS I CAN PAY FOR IT IN CASH UPFRONT. THE VEHICLES VOC TURNED DANGEROUS AFTER TURNING ON THE CAR FOR 10MINUTES STRAIGHT.

THE SUBJECT VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH A LOW-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WHICH MAY STOP OPERATING. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR, WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES MAY BE DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, AND THE ENGINE MAY RUN ROUGH. THIS MAY RESULT IN A VEHICLE STALL, AND THE VEHICLE MAY BE UNABLE TO BE RESTARTED. IF A VEHICLE STALL OCCURS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS, THIS COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.
THE VEHICLE CRUISE CONTROL WORKS FINE ON A FLAT SURFACE, BUT WHEN IT ENCOUNTERS A DOWNGRADE IT ACCELERATES 10MPH OVER THE SET SPEED AND THE RPMS INCREASE TO 4000. THE VEHICLE THEN APPLIES THE BRAKES FORCIBLY TO SLOW TO THE SET SPEED. IT SEEMS TO DOWNSHIFT BUT DOESN'T LET OFF THROTTLE SO IT SPEEDS UP RATHER THAN ENGINE BRAKE.

THESE NEED TO BE RESOLVED ASAP. WHY IS THERE A DELAY?
I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THAT, AFTER ALL I HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR 2 YEARS AND NOW YOU NOTICE THAT THERE IS AN ERROR IN THE AIRBAG? THIS IS SERIOUS AND PEOPLE STILL DIED, AND EVEN THOUGH I HAVE TO WAIT FOR A SOLUTION TO FIX IT? I USE MY CAR EVERY DAY TO WORK AND I'M AT RISK EVERY DAY.

MY SON AND I WERE IN A HEAD ON COLLISION. THE OTHER CAR WAS AT FAULT. SPEED FOR BOTH VEHICLES WAS AROUND 35 MPH. MY 11 YEAR OLD SON WAS IN THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT BUCKLED. I WAS DRIVING.

DRIVERS SIDE SEATBELT DOES NOT LOCK WHEN BRAKES ARE DEPRESSED WHILE COMING TO A STOP. DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME. DIFFICULT TO REPLICATE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE, THE ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP STARTED ITSELF WHILE THE ENGINE WAS OFF. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE PRESTIGE TOYOTA DEALER (844-838-7075, LOCATED AT 1096 NJ-17, RAMSEY, NJ 07446) AND WAS TOLD TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOP. THE CONTAC INSTEAD SENT A VIDEO RECORDING OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS TOLD TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOP. THE CONTACT CALLED THE HALTERMAN'S TOYOTA DEALER (570-339-9129, LOCATED AT 1741 PARADISE TRAIL RTE 447, EAST STROUDSBURG, PA 18301) AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE FOLLOWING DAY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH A CASE NUMBER: 2001171560. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 5,500.
I NOTEST A HUMMING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR THE SOUND WAS COMING FROM THE ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP WHILE THE CAR WAS OFF IN THE GARAGE FOR 5 1/2 HOURS I START THE CAR & SHUT IT THE SOUND WENT AWAY HAPPENED ONE WEEK AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR IM KEEPING MY EYE ON IT
THE CAR WAS IN STATIONARY MODE ON A CITY STREET AND WAITING FOR THE RED LIGHT TO TURN GREEN. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, THE TURNED GREEN AND I ACCELERATED A LITTLE AS THE CAR BEGIN TO MOVE BUT OUT OF NOWHERE THE CAR TURNED OFF AND ALL SYSTEMS STOPPED, INCLUDING THE COMPUTER BOARD, BUT BEFORE ALL WENT BLANK THERE WAS A MESSAGE ABOUT SYSTEM ERROR WITH A TRIANGLE SYMBOL, AND I HAD TO MANUALLY ACTIVATE THE PARKING LEVER AS WELL AS PRESS THE BRAKES. THANKFULLY EVERYONE IN THEIR LANES NOTICED MY ODYSSEY AND MADE SPACE FOR THE OTHER UPCOMING CARS AS I ACTIVATED THE EMERGENCY FLASHING LIGHTS. HOWEVER, I TURNED THE CAR FULLY OFF BY TURNING THE KEY AND WAITED SOME MINUTES AS I WAS ADJUSTING TO THE SITUATION. I THEN TURNED THE CAR ON AGAIN AND WORKED. A FEW DAYS AFTER THE INCIDENT, I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE STAFF MEMBER WHO ASSISTED ME SAID THAT THE SYSTEM'S RECORD SHOWED THAT THERE AS AN ERROR HISTORY BUT DID NOT SAY WHICH COMPONENT PART OR WHERE THE MALFUNCTION WAS LOCATED THAT CAUSED THE CAR'S SAFETY RISK IN REGARDS TO THE COMPUTER SYSTEM AND ENGINE TO STOP WITHOUT ANY NOTICE. THIS RESPONSE TO WHAT HAPPENED WAS NOT SATISFACTORY TO ME BECAUSE NOTHING WAS DONE AND NO PAPERWORK OR RECORD WAS GIVEN TO ME ABOUT THE SYSTEM CHECK OR REPORT. THIS INCIDENT AND UNKNOWN RESPONSE TO THE MALFUNCTION CAUSE HAVE MADE ME WORRY ABOUT THIS HAPPENING AGAIN IN THE FUTURE UNDER OTHER UNSAFE CIRCUMSTANCES AND THAT IT COULD CAUSE ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2018 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS ATTEMPTING TO ENTER HIGHWAY TRAFFIC, THE LANE DEPARTURE WHEEL ASSIST MALFUNCTION. THE LANE DEPARTURE WHEEL ASSIST ENGAGED WITHOUT BEING ACTIVATED BY THE DRIVER CAUSING THE VEHICLE VEERED LEFT AND RIGHT. THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND IT CRASHED INTO A WALL BARRIER.

CAR RECENTLY IS NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY. DRIVES AT HIGH RPMS AND IF I ACCELERATE TOO QUICKLY SAY I GET UP TO 80 MPH ON HIGHWAY CAR WON'T SHIFT INTO NEXT GEAR THE RPMS SUDDENLY DROP ALL THE WAY DOWN TO UNDER 1000 AND QUITS ACCELERATING UNTIL IT JUMPS BACK INTO GEAR. HAVE TO LET FOOT OFF THE GAS FOR IT TO SHIFT AND CRUISE CONTROL HAS BEEN NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY EITHER.
TODAY AT APPROXIMATELY 4PM NOV 19, 2019, I PARKED MY CAR IN A PARKING LOT AND TURNED OFF THE MOTOR, PUT IT IN PARK AND WHEN I PULLED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE INTO PLACE THE CAR LUNGED BACKWARD A LITTLE BUT STOPPED AS SOON AS THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ENGAGED. I FILED A REPORT BACK ON OCTOBER 20, 2019, PLEASE REFER TO CASE #11271148. I AM BRINGING THE CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ON SATURDAY, NOV 23, 2019, SO IT CAN BE CHECKED OUT AS TO WHY THE CAR IS JERKING WHEN IN PARK. I WANT TO REGISTER THIS COMPLAINT AS WELL. I JUST PICKED THE CAR UP FROM THE AUTOBODY SHOP FROM THE REPAIRS IT HAD DONE BECAUSE OF THE INCIDENT ON OCT 20, 2019. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR.
ON SUNDAY, OCTOBER 20, 2019, APPROXIMATELY 3:10 PM I GOT INTO MY 2018 TOYOTA COROLLA, THE CAR WAS STATIONARY IN PARK, AND WAS NOT RUNNING ON A FLAT SURFACE. I REALIZED I FORGOT MY WALLET SO I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND LEFT THE DRIVER'S DOOR OPEN. I RETRIEVED MY WALLET WITHIN 1 MINUTE AND WHEN I CAME OUT MY CAR WAS ROLLING SLOWLY ON THE FLAT DRIVEWAY WHERE I PARK EVERY DAY. I TRIED TO GRAB THE DOOR HANDLE TO SEE IF I COULD JUMP IN THE CAR TO STOP IT BUT IT PICKED UP SPEED AND WENT DOWN A SLIGHT INCLINE ACROSS THE YARD. THE DOOR HIT A TREE AND THEN THE CAR LANDED IN BUSHES. MY NEIGHBORS CAME RUNNING OVER BECAUSE THEY SAW THE ENTIRE INCIDENT. I WAS ABLE TO GET INTO THE CAR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND I STARTED THE CAR'S ENGINE SINCE IT WAS NEVER TURNED ON AND DROVE IT OUT OF THE BUSHES BACK ONTO THE FLAT DRIVEWAY. THE CAR ROLLED WHILE THE GEAR WAS IN PARK AND WAS NOT RUNNING. EVERYONE IS NOT SURE WHY THAT WOULD HAPPEN. I'M ASKING TO SEE IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION OR THE GEAR SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR. I CALLED MY INSURANCE THEY FILED A CLAIM BUT STATED IT WAS VERY STRANGE FOR THE CAR TO HAVE ROLLED AND TOLD ME TO FIND OUT IF THERE WAS A RECALL, ALSO THE ADJUSTER SAID IT WAS VERY STRANGE AS WELL FOR THE CAR TO ROLL IN PARK AND NOT RUNNING. THEY SUGGESTED IT MAY BE SOMETHING WITH THE COMPUTER SYSTEM.
MY CAR WAS DRIVING FINE FOR MONTHS, THEN OUT OF NOWHERE IT HAD A FUNNY SMELL INSIDE SO I PULLED OVER AND PARKED IT. WHEN I TRIED TO START IT UP AGAIN I DROVE 1 MINUTE DOWN THE STREET AND SHUT OFF. I WAS TOLD THAT MY ENGINE LOCKED UP BY TOYOTA, BUT IT WAS NOT THEIR FAULT OR MINES. BUT THAT I HAVE TO PAY TO FIX IT. THE CAR IS 2018 LESS THAN 25,000 MILES.
WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WHEN DARK OUTSIDE AUTO HIGH BEAMS DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. WHEN PASSING A ONCOMING CAR WITH BRIGHTER THAN NORMAL HEADLIGHTS THE AUTO HIGH BEAMS DISENGAGE AND WILL NOT TURN ON FOR A VARYING AMOUNT OF TIME. THIS HAPPENS BOTH ON CITY STREETS, HIGHWAY, AND COUNTRY ROADS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE FACT OF AN INCREASED RISK OF COLLISION DUE TOO REDUCED VISIBILITY. IT ALSO ENHANCES THE RISK OF COLLISION WITH ANIMALS AT NIGHT ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING ON SECLUDED COUNTRY ROADS. WHEN CAR WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA DEALER I WAS GIVEN MULTIPLE EXCUSES ON WHY IT WAS NOT WORKING. THEY KEPT THE CAR OVERNIGHT AND SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. WHEN I SHOWED VIDEOS DEMONSTRATING THE PROBLEM AND SCENARIO OF WHEN IT HAPPENS THEY COULD NOT GIVE AN EXPLANATION ON WHY THEY DID NOT ENGAGE IN VARIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES.
I WAS TRYING TO BACK UP IN AREA WITH A LOT OF YOUNG CHILDREN AROUND. WHEN I PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE AND LOOKED AT THE CAMERA SCREEN, IT HAD COMPLETELY DIED. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET THE SCREEN TO WORK SINCE. IT DOES NOT DO ANY GOOD FOR THE NHTSA TO REQUIRE BACK UP CAMERA SYSTEMS IF THEY FAIL AFTER A FEW MONTHS. THE SAFETY BENEFIT OF REQUIRING A SYSTEM ON 2018 VEHICLES IF THE SYSTEM FAILS COMPLETELY BEFORE THE END OF 2019 IS NOT GOOD.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2018 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHEN THE CONTACT PLACED HER VEHICLE INTO PARK, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE TACHOMETER LEVEL INCREASED. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH FORCE USING BOTH FEET, BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND AND CRASHED INTO THE WALL OF A CONVENIENT STORE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A COLLISION LOT WHERE IT WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 1908261236. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 15,438.
I HAD AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAGS DO NOT DEPLOYED, I ASKED AT KENDALL TOYOTA COLLISION CENTER TO REVIEW WHAT IS THE POSSIBLE CAUSE, THEY DO NOT RESPONSE YET.
TAMARA INFLATOR. THE CRUISE CONTROL IN MY 2018 TOYOTA COROLLA HAS BEEN MESSED UP EVER SINCE I BOUGHT MY CAR LAST YEAR.I TOLD THE DEALER SHIP ABOUT IT THEY CLAIMED THEY ADJUSTED IT BUT IT STILL INCREASES MY SPEED GOING DOWN HILL AND I'VE GOT A SPEEDING TICKET BECAUSE OF IT.MY DAUGHTER ALSO CALLED TOYOTA MAIN HEAD QUARTERS BUT THEY SAID IF I WANTED IT FIX I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF MY POCKET..I WILL SET MY CRUISE CONTROL AT 60 ON THE HWY IF I GO DOWN A SMALL. HILL MY RPM AND SPEED GO UP.
MY CAR IS GOING TO HIS SECOND REPAIR OF PAINT FIRST WAS PAINT BUBLING AMD NOW PAINT PEELING OFF 🙄. IT'S REALLY DISCOMFORT HAVE A CAR FROM BRAND NEW AND IS GOING TO BE PAINT 🙄
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM WAS MALFUNCTIONING. IN TRAFFIC, WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS FLOORED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS RELEASED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE PAST 5 MPH, WHICH PRESENTED THE RISK OF A POTENTIAL CRASH. PALMER'S TOYOTA (470 SCHILLINGER RD S, MOBILE, AL 36695, (251) 639-0800) WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT NEEDED TO BE SCHEDULED TO TEST DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 700. *BF *AS
4/20/19, THE DRIVER INVOLVED WITH THIS VEHICLE LOST CONTROL AND HIT A CURB AT 25 MILE PER HOUR, WELL WITHIN THE SPEED LIMIT AT 45 MPH. AFTER HITTING THE CURB, THE VEHICLE SWERVED INTO A TREE. THE FRONT END OF VEHICLE HIT THE TREE AND THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF VEHICLE WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR. THIS IS CONSIDERED A "TOTAL LOST." THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH FRONT AND SIDE AIRBAGS, BUT SURPRISINGLY NONE WAS DEPLOYED.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE AND POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER (STONE MOUNTAIN TOYOTA, 4400 STONE MOUNTAIN HWY, MELBOURNE, GA) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,600.
THE 2018 TOYOTA COROLLA CRUISE CONTROL IS DANGEROUS. WHEN CRUISE CONTROL IS ON, GOING DOWN A SLIGHT HILL, THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS BUT THROTTLE DOES NOT REDUCE CAUSING CAR TO INCREASE SPEED 10-15 MPH WITH HIGH RPMS. AT BOTTOM OF INCLINE TRANSMISSION GOES TO HIGHER GEAR AND BRAKES ARE APPLIED VERY HARD CAUSING VEHICLE TO SUDDENLY AND VIOLENTLY SLOWDOWN 15-20 MPH. IN THIS SITUATION IF CRUISE CONTROL IS NOT DISENGAGED THE CAR WILL GO WELL OVER THE SPEED LIMIT AND TO AN UNSAFE SPEED FOR THE ROADWAY. THE BRAKING ACTION IS SO SUDDEN AND VIOLENT IT'S DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND HAS SEVERAL TIMES IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS CAUSED ME TO VERY NEARLY GET REAR ENDED BY A VEHICLE BEHIND ME WHICH WAS NOT ORIGINALLY FOLLOWING TOO CLOSE. AS THE DANGEROUS CRUISE CONTROL STARTS ITS INCREASE IN SPEED THE VEHICLES BEHIND MAY INCREASE THEIR SPEED AND AS THEY ARE INCREASING SPEED MY CAR CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM JAMS ON THE BRAKES AND CAUSE THE FOLLOWING CAR TO COME DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO COLLISION. AS WELL THE OTHER DRIVER HAS ON AT LEAST ONE OCCASIONS BECAME ANGRY STARTED ROAD RAGING THINKING I HAD PURPOSELY BRAKE CHECKED. THE 2018 TOYOTA COROLLA CRUISE CONTROL IS DANGEROUS, COULD CERTAINLY BE DEADLY BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE AND FURTHER IS VIRTUALLY UNUSABLE AS A PURCHASED FEATURE ON ANYTHING BUT A FLAT ROAD. I'VE DRIVEN OVER 20 CARS IN MY LIFE AND AM VERY EXPERIENCED WITH CRUISE CONTROLS IN 6 DIFFERENT MANUFACTURERS CARS. THE CRUISE CONTROL ON MY 2018 TOYOTA COROLLA COULD CAUSE INJURY, LAWSUIT, ROAD RAGE WITH PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. I'VE ALREADY HAD IT TO THE DEALER TWICE AND AM TAKING IT BACK THIS WEEK.
THEY ASKED ME TO COME TO TOYOTA OF DALLAS TO FILL OUT AN "UNINTENDED ACCELERATION" UA REPORT (SEE BELOW). THE TECHNICIAN BECAME VERY ANGRY ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND TOLD ME THAT THE MANUFACTURER CREATED THE CAR THIS WAY. UNDER ALMOST ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, (GOING AROUND A SHARP CURVE, HEAVY TRAFFIC, ANY DOWNHILL OR UPHILL, WEATHER CONDITIONS, OR FOG) WHEN USING THE CRUISE CONTROL THE CAR WILL TRY TO SLOW IT SELF DOWN FROM SET SPEED AT 65 MPH, BY DROPPING INTO A LOWER GEAR, RAMPING UP THE RPM'S TO 5000 FORCING THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE 10 TO 15 MILES OVER THE SET SPEED WHICH WAS SET AT 65 MPH. IN THIS CASE, THE BRAKES WILL NOT STOP THIS ACCELERATION WHILE THE VEHICLE IS AMPING UPWARD. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION IS TO TURN OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL. HIGHWAY DRIVING FROM CARROLLTON, TEXAS TO WACO, TEXAS ON A CLEAR DAY. MY COMPANY HAS A POLICY THAT COMPANY VEHICLES SHOULD NOT EXCEED 70 MPH. IT IS A FIREABLE OFFENCE.
I CAN'T KEEP THE ICE BUILDUP OFF MY BACK TIRES DUE TO A PIECE OF PLASTIC HOLDING IT UP UNDER THE WHEEL WELLS. IT'S WEARING MY TIRES OUT FASTER. I HAVE EVEN PRESSURE WASHED IT AND STILL CAN'T GET THE ICE TO COME OUT! THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE MY WHEEL WELLS TO RUST OUT FASTER BY HOLDING IT UNDER MY WELLS. I HAVE ANOTHER COROLLA AND IT DOESN'T HAVE THAT PLASTIC IN THE FRONT PART OF THE REAR TIES!
PASSENGER REAR SEAT BELT SNAPPED IN HALF AND RIPPED UP THE MIDDLE OF THE BELT. HALF OF THE SEAT BELT IS HANGING THERE STILL CONNECTED. THIS IS WERE MY 7 YEAR OLD SITS. I REPORTED THIS TO TOYOTA AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT COVER IT THE COST IS OVER $400.00 AND THE BELT THE GUESS MUST HAVE BEEN STUCK OF GRABBED IN THE DOOR IN THE DOOR AND THAT MAKES IT EVEN MORE DEFECTIVE TO HAVE THE DOOR LATCH CLOSE TO THE BELT. I BELIEVE THE BELT IS DEFECTIVE AS THERE ARE SEVERAL SMALL LINES ON THE OTHER SIDE I HAVE HAD 5 TOYOTA'S AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM! SUN TOYOTA NEW PORT RICHEY FLORIDA.
IN PAST TOYOTA HAD A RECALL OF REAR PASSENGER SEAT BELTS OF 2.9 MILLION TOYOTA'S. I JUST NOTICED ON MY BRAND NEW TOYOTA COROLLA THAT MY 7 YEAR OLD SPECIAL NEEDS DAUGHTER , IS TORN AND RIPPED. SUN TOYOTA SAID IT WAS BECASUE THE BELT GOT CAUGHT IN THE DOOR. I HAVE A BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY AND NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE WITH MY PAST 4 TOYOTA. THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE BELT AND WERE THE DOOR CAN CLOSE IN THE BELT. A CHILD CANNOT DO THIS DAMAGE. I AM REQUESTING THEY FIX IT FREE OF CHARGE . THERE ARE ALSO THIN SLICES OF THE STRAP ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TORN BELT.
HIT A DEER AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, FRONT END OF CAR WAS DESTROYED, WAS A TOTAL LOSS. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT ALL
THE RPM OF THE CAR JUMPS UPTO 4000 WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SLOW THE CAR ON DOWN HILLS. TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS ARE REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE BUT THERE ARE CASES MANY PEOPLE GOT THEIR CAR FIXED OR EXCHANGED. THIS PROVES THE ISSUE WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL. THE IDEAL INTENT OF USING THE CRUISE CONTROL IS TO SAVE GAS MILEAGE AND EFFORT TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR LONG DISTANCES. I HAVE TO TRAVEL LONG DISTANCES TO WORK ON DAILY BASIS. I FEEL VERY UNCOMFORTABLE AND UNSAFE DRIVING THE CAR ON CRUISE. TOYOTA SHOULD ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM TO SAVE THE TRUST OF THE CUSTOMERS. THIS HAPPENS CONSISTENTLY. I AM TRYING TO CONTACT TOYOTA FOR THE ISSUE. I HOPE TO RECEIVE A POSITIVE RESPONSE.
MY DAUGHTER WAS INVOLVED IN A REAR END COLLISION WITH ANOTHER CAR THAT ABRUPTLY STOPPED TO TURN. SHE WAS ONLY GOING 30 MPH AND HYDO-PLANNED INTO THE CAR AS A RESULT OF THE RAINY CONDITIONS. THERE WAS MINIMAL DAMAGE DONE TO THE VEHICLE THAT SHE HIT BUT HER CAR SUSTAINED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END WHICH CAUSED FRAME DAMAGE. THE FRONT END OF THE CAR WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED BUT NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED DESPITE DIRECT DAMAGE TO COLLIDING INTO THE STOPPED VEHICLE.

THIS WILL PROBABLY NOT MAKE THE CUT FOR BIG PROBLEMS, BUT I'M SENDING IT ANYWAY SINCE A GENERAL RUE OR ADVISORY ON DASH REFLECTIVITY MIGHT. THE 2018 COROLLA TACHOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER HAVE A BRIGHTLY CHROMED BEVEL WITH A PARABOLIC CURVE OF ABOUT 1/4 INCH ALL AROUND THE DIAL THAT CAPTURES THE SUN FROM ALMOST ANY ANGLE AND REFLECTS IT BACK INTO THE DRIVER'S EYE. LIKE ANY GOOD PARABOLA. DO YOUNG ENGINEERS NOT KNOW THIS KIND OF BASIC GEOMETRY? DO THEY NOT KNOW WE LOOKED AT THIS IN THE 50'S AND 60'S? AS I WAS DRIVING HOME THURSDAY AND THE SUN WAS MODERATELY LOW AT ABOUT 530 PM, I STARTED NOTICING ABOUT A HALF DOZEN OF THOSE PURPLE YELLOW SUNBLIND SPOTS IN MY VISION. THEY WERE IN VARIOUS STATES OF STRENGTH AND FADE. I DROVE WITH MY HAND BLOCKING THE SUN FOR THE NEXT 15 MINUTES. BECAUSE OF THE SHAPE OF THE CHROMED TRIM--PERFECT FOR THE COLLECTION OF LIGHT--I HAD TO HOLD MY HAND VERY CLOSE TO THE SPEEDOMETER TO BLOCK THE STRONG, FOCUSED REFLECTION OF THE SUN. WAY MORE THAN "GLARE." VERY PERSISTENT REGARDLESS OF SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN DIRECTION.

THERE'S ALSO NOISE AT TIMES WHEN I TURN ON THE AIR CONDITIONER WHICH I CAN'T IDENTIFY. MAYBE, AS IF THERE IS TOO MUCH STRESS ON THE ENGINE. THE CAR ALSO SOMETIMES VIBRATES WHILE DRIVING. IN ADDITION, WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR, THE FRONT TIRE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WAS ALSO ALMOST FLAT, THEREFORE, CAUSING THE CAR TO KEEP PULLING TO ONE SIDE WHILE DRIVING. FURTHER, THE FRONT WINDOW ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WAS/IS SQUEAKING. 8/12/18 SENSOR LIGHT KEPT FLASHING. 8/16/18 BRAKE PAD NOISE WAS OBSERVED.

WHEN USING THE RADAR CONTROLLED CRUISE CONTROL, THE ENGINE WILL SOMETIMES REV TO OVER 4000 RPM. A TOYOTA FIELD ENGINEER TOLD ME THAT THIS IS ENGINE BRAKING, BUT THIS OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS ON A LEVEL STRETCH OF HIGHWAY AT THE SET SPEED AND NO OTHER UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCES. THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM OCCURS WITH MY WIFE'S 2017 COROLLA. I'VE READ A NUMBER OF COMMENTS ON THE TOYOTA OWNERS WEBSITE (HTTPS://WWW.TOYOTA.COM/OWNERS/COMMUNITY/ASK-AN-OWNER/QUESTION-DETAILS/ID/62752030). SOME HAVE EVEN SAID THEIR CARS SPEED UP WHEN THIS PHENOMENON HAPPENS. THIS HAS HAPPENED CONSISTENTLY EVERY TIME I'VE USED THE CRUISE CONTROL SINCE I TOOK DELIVERY OF THE CAR ON 12/1/2017, AND IT HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES PER TRIP. THE DATE I ENTERED BELOW IN THIS FORM WAS ONLY THE LATEST OCCURRENCE.
BLIND SPOT CAN NOT SEE ON COMING MOVING VEHICLES WHEN BACKING IN A PARKING SPACE AND BACKING OUT, HIGHLY POTENTIAL ACCIDENT DESIGN , OF THE REAR SEAT HEAD REST TOO TALL BLOCKING OVER HALF THE HEIGHT OF THE REAR GLASS, HUGE BLIND SPOT FEEL TO TENSE TO TRY TO PARK IT BY BACKING IN.,AND BACK OUT OF PARKING SPACE. HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR ANOTHER GOOD DEFENSIVE DRIVER THE CAR WOULD HAVE HIT BE, ONLY OWNED THIS CAR LESS THAN A MONTH AND TRIED TO GET DEALER SHIP TO LET ME HAVE A DIFFERENT DESIGNED CAR AND THEY REFUSED , ,CALLING INSURANCE COMPANY AND TALK TO THEM AND SEE IF I SHOULD CONTINUE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, IF THEY SAY NO THEN I'M TELLING TOYOTA TO COME AND GET IT.I'M NOT PAYING 30,000 FOR AN UNSAFE CAR.TO DRIVE.
THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM IS DESIGNED SO THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTS WHEN THE SYSTEM IS ENGAGED AND GOING DOWN HILLS. THIS PUTS MUCH MORE WEAR AND TEAR ON BOTH THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. IN ADDITION TO THE DOWN SHIFT THE RPM GOES TO OVER 4000 IN AN ATTEMPT TO SLOW THE CAR. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY AND DRASTICALLY REDUCES GAS MILEAGE, WHICH IS EXACTLY OPPOSITE OF THE ORIGINAL INTENT OF THE CRUISE CONTROL WHICH WAS BETTER GAS MILEAGE AND PEACE OF MIND TO NOT SPEED. THE SPEED DOES GO UP 5 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THIS HAPPENS. BOTTOM LINE IS THE ENGINEERS AND THEIR BOSSES WHO APPROVED THIS SYSTEM ARE ALL IDIOTS AND SHOULD BE FIRED. YOU WOULD ASSUME YOU WOULD GET BETTER GAS MILEAGE WHEN GOING DOWN HILL WHEN THE ENGINE WOULD DISENGAGE BECAUSE YOU WOULD NEED LESS POWER AND NOT MORE TO MAINTAIN A CERTAIN SPEED. I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER THE CRUISE CONTROL IS DESIGNED TO OPERATE BY GEARING DOWN, I TOLD HIM NO MANUFACTURE IS THAT STUPID.HE THEN PROVED ME WRONG BY SHOWING ME THE MANUAL PROVING TOYOTA IS THAT STUPID.I WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED THIS CAR HAD I KNOWN THIS FEATURE WAS DESIGNED IN THIS WAY. WHO KNOWS WHAT OTHER SYSTEMS IN THIS COROLLA ARE DESIGNED IN SUCH A STUPID MANNER. I WILL CERTAINLY NEVER BUY ANOTHER AUTO FROM THIS COMPANY.
