UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I drove .01 miles and stopped at the entrance gate. My windows were dirty, so I used my wiper lever to spray washer fluid on the windows. I pulled out onto traffic after cleaning the window. Due to the space between the wiper control and the manual paddle shift lever ( I think) The lever was hit by my hand ( I think)? or it was a malfunction? so when I pulled out into traffic I was not in any gear and could not accelerate , the car acted like a slipped transmission. Traffic was bearing down on me and the car speed was only 20 miles per hour. I could not accelerate . After I was able to proceed to a turn lane, I tapped the paddle lever and the car acted normal.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
please see report number 11479072 for the other information. not once person except the man i talked to there on the phone asked me if the heater went out as well and IT DID! so not only did i lose the ac i lost heat which is what i guess makes this a real problem for everyone. as its friday, after hours i have to wait until monday to contact toyota to get an appointment to confirm the heater doesnt work but just like i confirmed the ac doesnt work, when i say theres no heat, theres no heat. and the condenser is literally located right behind the front grill. there is no way to fix this on my own and i cant repair it because i was told if i drive off the lot it could literally happen again. anyone who has a toyota corolla should be specifically told about this FAILURE of a design thank you!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I was traveling on the interstate through Missouri through to Kansas to get back to California on July 5, 2022 in my brand new just got april 18 2022 toyota corolla hybrid when the entire electrical panel went out on my car. i was driving the speed limit on the interstate with the AC on in 109 degree temps when the whole electric panel went out it was out for about ten minutes before it came back on and when it did i had no AC. i was literally in the middle of the desert, there were no stops coming up, no towns, no shade, nothing! and thank god i had just dropped my nine year old son off in indiana or he could've died with me. the AC condenser on this car is located RIGHT BEHIND the front grill of the car, which has over one inch openings in it and toyota is specifically not covering this part under warranty because they know this is a faulty design. i understand and have been told that AC is a luxury but its not for that one week old baby that is going to be traveling with their family is this car and they have no idea that a PEBBLE (is what toyota told me knocked my ac out in the desert!) is going to knock their AC out and that baby will die. Toyota needs to recall this car or put a screen behind the grill i dont care but the public needs to be made aware how easy it is for the AC to be knocked out. additionally the toyota dealership here said that they can repair it for 1400$ but there's nothing to stop it from happening again as soon as i drive off the lot because there is nothing protecting the condenser. i have a brand new car that is broke and cant be repaired and toyota has told me they stand by their design and IF THEY decide to do a recall i will be notified. please notify the public about this! it is hot everywhere and children will die. i cant even go back to pick my son up and now have to fly him out because i dont have AC in my brand new car. like seriously! think of the children and the people who have no idea how easy it is to go out! thank you!

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
Vehicle's cruise control got stuck and would not turn off by the brake, the cruise control off button. The only way it would shut off is by swtitching the car into “B-(Low Gear/Engine Braking). Was cruising at 70 mph, and then the cruise control kept speeding the vehicle up to 100 mph, until I switched it into the “B”-(Low Gear/Engine Braking). Now if I wasn’t familiar with this type of car this could have been a tragedy that could have taken place on August 01, 2022.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
The low beams on my car cast to shadows beyond the visible lighted area of the beams but beyond the shadows is dark , no penetration through the shadows restricting my view down the road and I have to switch to high beams to actually see down the road. I've been driving cars for 72 years and I have never had this problem. I love the car but hate driving it at night ! I've reported this to m dealer but my results were that the problem was only my opinion. I paid 27,000 dollars for the car and that kind of service stinks. Need help ! Thank you, [XXX] Phone [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
There is a high pitch electrical whine coming from the fan blower (right side by the glove compartment) noise causes pain to my right ear after hearing it consistently which I believe will become a health problem. Vehicle has had blower replaced by Toyota dealer with no fix. There are numerous complaints found on Toyota forums describing this exact issue and nothing has been done to rectify this issue.

STRUCTURE:BODY
Rain water accumulates in the doors of a brand new car that is only 4 weeks old. The only official fix, according to Toyota and NTSA, is to remove the plugs at the bottom so the water can drain out every time it rains. This is not a fix. The water should not be accumulating in the door at all. Over time, the repeated water accumulation will cause mold, mildew, rust and damage the electrical system. This is absolutely absurd.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
After 2 months of purchasing the car , interior dashboard wrinkled and below the steep compartment . A week or so the door locks is not functioning all the time. Then after 3 weeks the black door strip is drooping . I emailed the branch manager and took it to the service depot. They said chemicals due to detailing the car . No one will detail the car of 2-3 months old Newly bought . Then they when they told me to bring again for the door is no longer functioning and the door strips and why the car is falling apart. There was 2 wreaks of rain so I did not car wash the car as I always do . They noticed moisture of the oil on the window outside .That the rubber does not like oil . I anoint the car with few sprinkles for decades on previous cars , Datsun, Nissan and Toyota . They said that caused it and I have to pay for the repair I told them I got Toyota Corolla for 10 years and I do what I do in the car and Nothing like this happened.Why now ? I bought the car 4-5x for the door locks and the 2 other issues they kept on putting in their work order summary - door locks functioning at this time ???? It never did function correctly and it never functioned at all on the 3rd , 4th and 5th time . Then they just give me the work order 2x instead of 4-5 different days of work orders in different months I am stuck .Car insurance does not pay because Toyota said chemicals and the other insurance said it wa not caused by accident . Someone opened the car mistakenly when I was texting because it has to lock manually and (I forgot )for almost a month now . I will email you the work orders next time . Please help .ASAP. Thanks .

VISIBILITY/WIPER
Soon after purchasing my car, there was a chip and crack in the windshield that had no known cause or occurred when it was not being driven. A couple months after that, there was a rock thrown up getting onto the highway that should not have broken the glass because it did not hit hard enough to typically break the glass and I also have a glass protectant on my windows. I fear there may be a defect in the glass used for the 2021/2022 Toyota Corollas because my friend with the same car, but year 2021 complained of the same problem. It should be investigated. Now I have to replace a windshield and pay a deductible because it is not covered under the extra services that I purchased for dints and dings.
