• 12/14/2015· POWER TRAIN,EXTERIOR LIGHTING,ENGINE

  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.

  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.

• 12/04/2015· AIR BAGS

  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.

  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.

AFTER SWITCHING THE TRANSMISSION FROM PARK INTO REVERSE, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED BACKWARDS AND CRASHED INTO A CEMENT BLOCK. THE DRIVER THEN SHIFTED INTO DRIVE AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED FORWARD, NEARLY CRASHING INTO A SECOND VEHICLE. DURING THE INCIDENT, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS BEING DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP.

  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.

  I am not sure exactly what happened but their was indeed an internal systems failure of some sort that definitely needs to be resolved and the public needs to be made aware of. I lost control of my vehicle do to some circumstance beyond my control and I was nearly killed an a father and son as well. I hope the government gets to the bottom of this and makes all humans aware of this threat to our way of life and human's lifes in general. Regardless I was driving and minding my own business and causing no harm to anyone when I lost control of my vehicle and it swerved to the right in an intersection causing an accident. Please utilize our tax money properly and make sure the people responsible for this are held accountable in accordance with the law and make the public aware of who they are. I thank you for your assistance in making sure humans and businesses are held accountable under the law of the laws of the country in relations to vehicle safety.

  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. Toyota has had multiple problems with the control solenoid but no recall . There were no problems with warning lights or issues prior to the incident. A mechanic has assessed the problem . We have contacted Toyota dealership locally they have said no recalls on the car.

Upon further investigation, the prime color had peeled off, and the contact could see the metal part of the trunk lid. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The contact was informed that the warranty on the vehicle had expired, and there was no assistance to be offered. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the NHSTA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.

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.

• 11/09/2015· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  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.

  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.

• 10/02/2021· TIRES

  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.
