AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY, WHEELS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TAKATA RECALL IT WAS A REGULAR WEDNESDAY MORNING DRIVE TO MY OFFICE. I WAS IN HIGHWAY 101 N AND IN THE MOTION OF APPROX 30MPH DUE TO TRAFFIC. SUDDENLY AT AROUND 8AM, DUE TO THE TRAFFIC AHEAD I HAD TO BRAKE MY CAR. MY CAR WAS HALT AT A SAFE DISTANCE FROM THE CAR AHEAD OF ME WHEN I HEARD THE EMERGENCY BEEP OF MY CAR AND WHILE I WAS BEING CONFUSED AS TO WHY THE BEEP WENT OFF BECAUSE MY CAR WAS AT A SAFE DISTANCE OF THE CAR AHEAD OF ME, MY CAR WAS SEVERELY HIT FROM BEHIND.THE IMPACT WAS SO SEVERE TOWARDS THE TRUNK THAT MY CAR WAS DRAGGED FORWARD SUCH THAT THE FRONT OF MY CAR WENT ONTO HIT THE BACK OF THE CAR THAT WAS AT A SAFE DISTANCE FROM MY CAR.THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY SHIFT OF MY CAR FROM THE SECOND LANE WHERE THE IMPACT TOOK PLACE TO THE THIRD LANE OF THE HIGHWAY. MY CAR WAS TOTALED BECAUSE OF THIS ACCIDENT. DURING THIS ACCIDENTAL EVENT MY FRONT CAR AND BACK CAR BOTH AIR BAG DEPLOYED EXCEPT MY CAR AIR BAG DIDN'T GET DEPLOYED AND BECAUSE OF THIS I WENT THROUGH SERIOUS MULTIPLE INJURIES CAUSING SOME LONG TERM BODILY DAMAGES.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE AUTOMATIC HIGH/LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT SYSTEM INTERMITTENTLY STOPS WORKING. WITH THE SWITCH IN CORRECT POSITION, EVERYTHING IS WORKING AS EXPECTED, THEN THE AUTO INDICATOR ON DASH GOES OFF AND THE LIGHTS STAY ON LOW BEAMS, EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC OR TAIL LIGHTS AHEAD. THIS MAY ONLY BE FOR ABOUT A MINUTE TO SEVERAL MINUTES. WITH THE AUTO INDICATOR OFF, I AM STUCK ON LOW BEAMS. WHEN THE AUTO INDICATOR COMES BACK ON, THE SYSTEM FUNCTIONS NORMALLY. DURING THE TIME THE AUTO INDICATOR IS OFF, I CANNOT GET HIGH BEAMS UNLESS I TURN THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH FROM AUTO TO ON. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE I HAVE TO MANUALLY CHANGE THE SWITCH SETTING AND THE LIGHTS GO OFF WHILE THE SWITCH IS MOVED. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WITH THE LAST TIME BEING 11/5/2018.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), UNKNOWN OR OTHER
CAR HAS SEVERAL ISSUES, ONE IS DEFINITELY THE VEHICLE WARNING LIGHTS IN DASH, THE WARNING LIGHTS POP UP AT DIFFERENT TIMES FOR NO REASON OCCASIONALLY AND DEALERS CAN'T FIND ISSUES, CAR ALSO HAS ISSUES WITH BRAKING SYSTEM. SEVERAL TIMES WENT AROUND CURVES IT ON STOPS AND CAR LOCKED UP AND WENT SIDEWAYS, DEALER SAID TESTED BUT LESS THAN A MILE PUT ON CAR?? CAR DOES NOT ACT LIKE IT HAS NORMAL ABS AND ALMOST GOT IN SEVERAL ACCIDENTS WITH MY KIDS AND GRANDSON BECAUSE OF IT MY STOPPING OR LOCKING UP!! ALSO HAVE ISSUES SINCE I BOUGHT IT WITH RADIO/FEATURES/DISPLAY. THINGS SHOW UP HALF WAY OR IT TURNS OFF AT TIMES AND ALSO CALLS OUT EVEN WHEN UNTOUCHED. WORRIED ABOUT GPS CUTTING OUT WHEN NEEDED TOO. ALSO PLASTIC PART UNDER PASSAGED SIDE GLOVE BOX CONTINUOUSLY FALLS OFF, TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY JUST PUT BACK IN, DIDN'T REPLACE BUT YOU COULD SEE THE BEND WHERE HOOK WAS. AND GAS MILEAGE AND THE RECENT CVT RECALL, THEY UPDATED, NOT REPLACED AFTER I ASKED AND DESCRIBED HOW IT WAS DRIVING, AND STILL HAVING ISSUES BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T REPLACE AFTER I SAID IT WOULDN'T GO OVER A CERTAIN SPEED DURING HIGHWAY TRAVEL OR ROADS REQUIRING OVER 45 MPH. THE DRIVING WARNING THING WHEN YOU GO OVER LINES DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK EITHER, IT DOES 50% OF THE TIME. EXPLAINED THAT TOO BUT NOTHING DONE. VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS CAR!! HAD SINCE 11/2016 AND BARELY DROVE BECAUSE OF ISSUES AND SAFETY CONCERNS. IT OUT HAS 8000 MILES BECAUSE OF IT.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
AS OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THE CRUISE CONTROL ON A DOWN HILL SLOPE GOES OUT OF CONTROL. AS I REACH THE TOP OF THE HILL AND START DOWN THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL ACCELERATE TO 4000 RPM AND THE SPEED WILL INCREASE 10-15 MPH OVER WHAT THE CRUISE CONTROL IS SET AT. I MUST TURN OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL TO REGAIN CONTROL OVER THE SPEED. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE PROGRAMMING OF THE CRUISE CONTROL. ON DOWN HILL THE CRUISE CONTROL SHOULD BE REDUCING FUEL TO MAINTAIN SPEED NOT INCREASE IT. I AM A POLICE OFFICER AND THIS CRUISE CONTROL IS A HAZARD.

SERVICE BRAKES
I'M A TROOPER WITH THE OREGON STATE POLICE. I COVERED A CRASH TODAY WHERE THE MENTIONED VEHICLE BRAKED FOR THE DRIVER, BUT THE BRAKE LIGHTS NEVER ENGAGED. I SPOKE TO ANOTHER TOYOTA OWNER ON SCENE WHO STATED HIS TOYOTA DOES THE SAME WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BRAKING FOR HIM. THE DRIVER BEHIND THIS TOYOTA WAS ABLE TO STOP IN TIME, BUT I CAN SEE THIS LACK OF BRAKE LIGHTS AS A PROBLEM.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE OWNED MY CAR JUST UNDER A YEAR. I HAVE HAD CONTINUOUS ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION RANDOMLY DOWN SHIFTING AT STOPS AND NOW I GET A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SO I PULL INTO MY CLOSEST AUTO PARTS STORE SINCE IT'S SUNDAY. BOOM 17 CODES FOR EMISSION CONTROL FAILURE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS LESS THAN A YEAR AND IM ALREADY SHOWING TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND EMISSION CONTROL ISSUES. THIS IS NOT A GOOD SIGN FOR FUTURE YEARS TO COME. THERE WAS A RECALL EARLIER THIS YEAR INVOLVING THE TRANSMISSION AND NOW ITS SUDDENLY DISAPPEARED. I FIND IT STRANGE ESPECIALLY SINCE TOYOTA KEEPS DOWNPLAYING EVERYTHING EVERY TIME I GO IN.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING DOWN A DOWNGRADE WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED AND SET TO 65MPH, THE CVT TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO DOWNSHIFT, THE RPM'S INCREASED AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED TO WELL OVER THE SPEED LIMIT. IT FELT LIKE I WAS LOSING CONTROL. I HAD TO ACTIVATE THE BRAKES TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL IN ORDER TO REDUCE MY SPEED TO BELOW THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT. I TRIED IT AGAIN ON ANOTHER DOWNGRADE AND THE SAME SITUATION WAS DUPLICATED. I DID NOT TAKE THE CAR INTO A DEALER SINCE THE ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED TO DEALERSHIPS WITH A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM.

ENGINE, WHEELS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT, THE CAR WILL JERK HARD LIKE SOMEONE IS PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR DOWN ALL THE WAY WHILE I HAVE THE BRAKES ENGAGED. THIS HAS HAPPENED ONLY 5 TIMES IN THE PAST 2 YEARS.... BUT IT IS ENOUGH TIMES THAT IS REALLY SCARES MYSELF AND MY KIDS. THE FILTERS (CABIN FILTER?) ALWAYS STINKS LIKE MOLD. MY SON HAS ACUTE ASTHMA AND I HAVE TO CHANGE IT OUT EVERY 2 OR 3 MONTHS TO KEEP HIM FROM HAVING AN ASTHMA ATTACK. THE BLUE TOOTH (HANDS FREE PHONE), THE CALLER ON THE OTHER END CAN NOT HEAR ANYTHING, BUT A WINDY NOISE LIKE I AM IN A WIND TUNNEL--- AND FORGET ABOUT EVEN TALKING ON IT ABOVE SPEEDS OF 40 MPH!! THE ROAD NOISE IS WORSE THAN MY 2002 SEBRING CONVERTIBLE THAT I USED TO HAVE. THE STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT LET ME SCROLL DOWN THE PHONE NUMBERS LIKE MY 2015 COROLLA USED TO LET ME DO. I WILL PROBABLY NEVER PAY FOR A 2017 CORROLLA CASH AGAIN. TOO MANY ISSUES.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR
I PURCHASED BRAND NEW COROLLA 2017 LAST YEAR AND IT IS OFFCOURSE UNDER WARRANTY AND I HAVE REGULAR SERVICE AS ASKED BY DEALER. THIS EVENING I PLAN WITH MY FAMILY TO GO OUT AND ONCE I GET NEAR TO MY CAR I SAW MY REAR SCREEN IS SHATTERED AND I WONDERED WHAT CAUSE THIS AND FOUND NO IMPACT BY ANYTHING EXTERNAL. I TOOK SOME PICS AND LOOK MORE IN DETAIL AND FOUND THAT IT WAS SHATTERED ITSELF DESPITE IT WAS NOT VERY HOT OR COLD WEATHER. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT IT AS WHAT IT HAVE HAPPENED HAVING MY LITTLE KID IN CAR OR MY WIFE. PAYING REASONABLE COST OF VEHICLE AND GETTING POOR SAFETY MAKE ME THINK OF LOGGING THIS COMPLAINT AND I AM SURE SOMEONE WILL LOOK IN TO IT AND WILL RAISE THIS CONCERN WITH AUTHORITIES AND PUBLIC SAFETY NOTICE TOO WITH COROLLA OWNERS/DRIVERS. ONE MORE THING IT WAS PARKED AS USUAL AND IT WAS PARKED IN PRIVATE AREA.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND WHEN I WENT TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE I FOUND A STRESS CRACK ON THE WIND SHIELD STARTING FROM THE TOP AT THE PASSENGER SIDE AND IT CRACKED TOWARD THE DRIVER SIDE. I FOUND THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE, SO I CONDUCTED SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT A STRESS CRACK HAS OCCURRED IN THE TOYOTA VEHICLES SO THIS WAS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE TOYOTA DEALER, WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND A GLASS SPECIALIST CONDUCTED AN INSPECTION AND HE CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS A MANUFACTURED DEFECT. THIS IS CAUSE FOR CONCERN BECAUSE I WAS TOLD THAT EVEN THOUGH IT WAS DEEMED AS A MANUFACTURED DEFECT THAT THE WINDSHIELD WILL NOT BE REPLACED BY THE DEALER. SO THROUGH NO FAULT OF MY OWN, I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD TO PUT IN AN INSURANCE CLAIM BY A TOYOTA MANAGER. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND AN INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE CONDUCTED ON THESE VEHICLES.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE WORKING. I HAVE NEVER NOTICED THE VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY APPLY THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE WHEN APPROACHING ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE ONLY AUTOMATICALLY SLOWS DOWN WHEN I AM USING AUTONOMOUS CRUISE CONTROL.
