VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
1. Cruise Control 2. Unknown 3. No 4. No 5. No I first reported this to the dealership shortly after I purchased the vehicle. While driving with the cruise control on the rpms begin to jump to 5000 all on it's own but the car isn't speeding up when it happens. I know it's wearing the engine down every time it happens. It happens when I'm driving on flat freeways as well as when driving down hills. The dealership dismissed what I was telling them, but I know there's something not functioning properly and would like it further looked into.

SERVICE BRAKES
Our 19 Corrolla failed to start after a long drive. After recall repairs for airbags and fuel pump diagnostics were completed at the J. Allen Toyota Dealership in Gulfport, MS, the technicians found the issue to be the Hydraulic Brake Booster Pump: Internal Module Circuit Failure. Codes P1585 and P1586 are for reference. That subsequently blew the injection 1 and 2 fuses. The technician there told us that three other vehicles had the same issue and problems. This incident, fortunately, occurred at a relative's house and not on the roadway which could possibly result in a brake or engine failure that may cause injuries. There were no warning lights previous to or during this incident.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
2019 Toyota Corolla, I am the second owner. Vehicle has 66,000 miles. Vehicle will turn over, start for a very small second, and then stall (shuts off). Throttle body and battery have been changed. Car runs, then stalls. Im 24 and I bought the car because they're supposed to be safe and last. I brought this vehicle home in March and the joke is on me because not only does it choose to run, but it's not safe to even think about driving it. What happens if it chooses to just stop on the highway at 65 mph? Dangerous. I have a family. Very upset.

STRUCTURE:BODY, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
12/12/21 I suffered a mulitple deer strike imploding the windshield and collapsing the roof. Two months later my restored car was returned to me on 2/4/22. It had noxious, concentrated fumes inside from adhesives and sealants not allowed to escape; I stuck my fingers with glass on a shelf under the dash; and I got blasted in the eyes and face with fine glass debris that were still in the defroster vents/ducts. It took 5 medical treatment visits to get my left eye healed. Toyota Brand Engagement Center Case 220720000770 states Toyota glass when broken should not be smaller than the size of "pebbles" and had no record on file of glass breakage turning into fine powder. An independent expert/owner of a third party body shop, Ridgeway's in Berryville VA., had advised he had a inquisitive discussion confirming with the recently-assigned ERIE Insurance Claims Adjuster, unrelated to my case, on other accidents where Toyota glass had been very difficult to clean up as it was in fine powder form, where other auto manufacturers were not. My prior accident and after accident incidents images and emails state MY original accident's glass damage resulted in about three forms of glass debris: fine glass powder as the greatest component everywhere and blown into my eyes; some glass crystals the size of a few grains of salt; and some glass shards, paper-thin laminated shards, that closely resembled the form of fish scales. I had used the words and provided images it looked like it had snowed all over the car's interior and me from the original accident. There are some 150 pages of documentation available for review.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I reached a hill using the cruise control at 65mph. The vehicle accelerated to account for the loss of speed due to the hill. The engine accelerated the vehicle to well over 70 mph and revved up to very high rpms. The engine remained at high rpms and higher than normal speeds until I manually disengaged the cruise control. The engine should not be revving up to and remaining at such high rpms for such an extended duration.

SEAT BELTS
Seat Belts Front Driver Side: Seat belt buckle won't engage and fails to go in for multiple attempts and has to be slammed into the Seat belt to actually work. Front Passenger Side: Seat belt buckle will not disengage when the button is pressed and has to be squished down as hard as a average man can do, my Girlfriend doesn't have enough strength to press it down. I Fear that if i get into an accident that the driver side wont be secured all the way and the passenger side will fail to disengage and cause my passengers to get stuck in the car Body Front Driver Side: The Bumper in the front Driver side continuously pops out, Car has not been in an Accident nor has anything collided with the front, i fear that it can go into the wheel well and cause my car to crash. The car is Quiet low in the front but barely scrapes when you go over a big dip, but i have watched my buddys do this and their bumpers dont fall out.

STRUCTURE:BODY
On or about August 12, 2020 the car was enroute from Corpus Christi, Texas to College Station, Texas. The bumper dislodged from the car and almost feel underneath causing a serious accident. This is a low clearance car with the bottom of the car having an extension causing more difficulty. The car was pulled over to the side of the road and temporarily put in place. The car was taken to AutoNation Toyota in Corpus Christi, Texas for repair on or about August 15, 2020. Once again, the bumper detached almost causing another accident on or about June 3, 2022. The car was taken in again for repair with Auto Nation Toyota Corpus Christi on or about June 3, 2022 and the pins were replaced. The pins did not hold and the dealership was notified immediately. An appointment was made to secure the pins for June 20, 2022. The dealership stated another bumper needed to be purchased. THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW CAUSING THE BUMPER TO DETACH EASILY. THE BUMPER CONSEQUENTLY GOES UNDER THE CAR WITH LOW CLEARANCE AND POTENTIALLY CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WITH A POTENTIAL INABILITY TO CONTROL THE CAR WHEN THE BUMPER DISLODGES AND GOES UNDER THE CAR. THIS HAZARD IS NOT ONLY FOR THE DRIVER OF THE CAR BUT OTHERS DRIVERS ON THE ROAD AS WELL.

POWER TRAIN
The car has been hard to shift manual transmission since new. Sometimes will not go into gear, so you have to skip that gear. Now it started making a noise and has no power. It has 55k miles, dealership says it needs a new flywheel, throw-out bearing and clutch. They claim that is not covered under the 60,000 mile warranty. It's been at the dealership previously, at least 2 times for the shifting problem before. Those times dealership dismissed it as normal operation and didn't find any shifting problem.

STRUCTURE:BODY
Water was trapped in both the rear doors. Even though I was able to drain both using the plugs on the doors, this is a reoccurring problem because a lot of water was trapped inside the door panels. I could hear it sloshing around while driving and every time I opened or shut the doors. I don’t know if this could cause rust over time or if this could cause damage from becoming frozen inside the panels in the cold weather months.

Purchased a 2019 toyota corolla from carvana that was delivered 2/26/22. When delivered, driver pointed out front end date that apparently happened "during transport". Vehicle had bad brakes & rotors that I replaced. Vehicle has one door that does not match the rest of the car. The history was disclosed as clean, no accidents. Carvana is refusing to switch the car out and has no record of me asking for it to be switched with an undamaged car. Payments are being made to bridgecrest and are on time despite me telling them I would return the car if they didn't cancel the loan for this defective car.
