ENGINE
The car is at 58,125 miles and I’ve had a “engine maintenance required, please take to dealership” message for the past 3 months which will not go away and is just stuck on my dash. An OB2 port scanner shows nothing wrong, but after a diagnosis at toyota it appears I need a new engine coolant bypass valve. As it turns out, many other corolla, rav 4, and camry owners of the same generation (2020 and up) also receive the message and need to get the coolant bypass valves replaced around 30k-60k miles.

ENGINE
"Engine Maintenance Required - Visit Your Dealer" message popped up on my car's (Toyota Corolla 2020) dashboard all of a sudden and I didn't have any issues with engine before. I brought up my card to Toyota Service Center in Sunnyvale, CA and they told me that my car's coolant bypass valve has to be replaced and re-check if it's needed which is an uncertain thing and advised me not driving the car as it may damage the cooling system components or even the engine itself. All of these will cost me 911.58$ which is too much but it's not all yet. I was researching this issue on the Internet and figured out that many people who has the Corolla 2020 and 2021 had the exact same issue. I don't think it's a coincidence. People also complaining about the same issue for Toyota Rav4 and Toyota Camry. I don't want to pay so much money which is almost 1k. I never had any accidents and or crashes.

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
At 55K miles for my 2020 Toyota Corolla, the Engine Maintenance Required notification popped up on my screen and is not removable. Upon further verification numerous 2020-2021 corollas have been having this issue at similar amounts of mileage. It is a faulty Engine Coolant Bypass Valve that needs to be replaced. If I were to take it in to a dealership, they would charge $500+ just as they have for many others when it should really be a recall. As of now I have not taken it to be inspected due to fear of steep labor costs. My safety is at risk because if this does not get replaced my engine will overheat causing total failure of the car, and as a 2020 model with such low mileage, this is ridiculous.

The coolant bypass valve was constructed of poor quality plastic, and has cracked at a mere 50,000 miles. It's Leaking coolant into the sensor. Along with potentially causing major damage to the engine.

My son and daughter in law moved from California to Georgia due to military duties in Hinesville Georgia. They drove their 2020 Toyota Corolla from California to Georgia. They paid the fee to obtain their 2024 registration sticker but got denied by the DMV in California due to a recall on this vehicle. My son took the vehicle to Chatham Parkway Toyota in Savannah Georgia to fix the recall. He received documentation that the recall has been fixed. My daughter in law took this documentation to the DMV and they said it was not sufficient, we needed to provide the original pink copy of the recall. Chatman Parkway Toyota never gave my son the original copy. Where can we obtain this so we can receive our registration sticker? Can you please help us out and contact Chatham Parkway Toyota to see if they even fixed the recall problem or not and why they did not give my son an original copy of the fixed recall situation. It has been a struggle to obtain the registration sticker when the recall was a problem. This situation has been very stressful due to an expired registration and not being able to drive u til we receive the correct sticker. Please help if you can. Thank you, [XXX] . [XXX] .

I own 2020 corolla le. It has 50k miles. There is a message that keeps coming up in the infotainment screen and hinders the navigation information especially when i am looking for directions and evey second counts and not being able to act when the exit appearscan cause an accident. The message is caused by a dcm failure. Toyota should never allow a message like that pop up every time on the navigation screen. It keeps saying “ device connected not supported “ every few seconds.

ENGINE
The Engine Coolant Bypass Valve Short in the vehicle has malfunctioned. This appears to be widespread issue not only in the Corolla, but in the Camry and RAV4, and appears to affect model years 2019-2024. This issue caused coolant leakage, has the potential to cause issues with the engine, and affects the A/C/Heating systems as well. There were no warning signs prior to the failure, and the car had just passed a multi point inspection 4 days prior to the failure. The problem has been reproduced by my local Toyota dealership.
