EXTERIOR LIGHTING
AFTER BEING BLINDED BY RIDICULOUSLY BRIGHT HEADLIGHTS ON NEWER TOYOTA VEHICLES THE LAST COUPLE YEARS, I RECENTLY RENTED A TOYOTA COROLLA. I WAS HORRIFIED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS CAR ARE LEGAL. NOT ONLY DO YOU BLIND ONCOMING VEHICLES, BUT YOU CAN'T SEE SAFELY! THE BRIGHTNESS OF THESE HEADLIGHTS IS SUCH THAT ANYTHING REFLECTIVE BLINDS YOURSELF! (ROAD SIGNS, ETC.) YET, SOMEHOW THEY DON'T ,IN MY OPINION, LIGHT THE ROAD AHEAD ADEQUATELY. THEY DO SEEM TO LIGHT THE TREES AND THINGS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD PRETTY WELL, BUT NOT WHAT NEEDS TO BE SEEN. ALSO THE HIGH BEAMS ARE WORTHLESS, AS THE JUST SEEM TO LIGHT THE TREES MORE. ALL OF THIS WAS OBSERVED WHILE DRIVING IN THE DESERT OF NEW MEXICO AND TEXAS ON TWO LANE HIGHWAYS. I AM CONVINCED AMERICANS ARE DYING BECAUSE OF THE INADEQUACIES OF THESE HEADLIGHTS.

POWER TRAIN
WHILE TRAVELLING ON THE HIGHWAY IN MY 2016 TOYOTA COROLLA, I AM NOTICING FREQUENT ISSUES WHERE IF I SLOW DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY FOR ANY REASON (SUCH AS TRAFFIC) AND GO TO SPEED UP OR WHILE ACCELERATING UPHILL, THE VEHICLE JERKS WHILE SHIFTING INTO A LOWER GEAR, WHICH STARTLES ME EVERY TIME, AND EVEN HARD ENOUGH TO WAKE MY 3 SLEEPING CHILDREN IN THE BACKSEAT. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE AUGUST 2018 , AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE OFTEN AS TIME HAS PASSED. I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT FROM SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE. TODAY, I TOOK THE MECHANIC ON A RIDE ALONG IN THE VEHICLE, AND WHEN IT HESITATED, I TOLD HIM THAT WAS WHAT IT DID (WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY A CAR CHARACTERISTIC GOING UPHILL) BEFORE JERKING. HE TOLD ME BASED ON MY STATEMENT THAT THE ENTIRE THING "WAS WHAT THE CAR WAS SUPPOSED TO DO." IT'S SUPPOSED TO JERK WHILE SHIFTING INTO A LOWER GEAR? I WAS ESSENTIALLY TOLD THAT IT WAS JUST SOMETHING THE COROLLA DID AND THERE WAS NOTHING THAT I CAN DO. I KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN IN ANY VEHICLE AS PART OF MY LIVING IS MADE ON THE ROAD. NO VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED HAS SHIFTED LIKE THIS VEHICLE IS. I HAVEN'T EVEN OWNED THE VEHICLE A FULL YEAR, AND NOW MY CHILDREN DON'T EVEN WANT TO GET IN MY ONLY CAR.

SEAT BELTS
PASSENGER REAR SEAT BELT SNAPPED IN HALF AND RIPPED UP THE MIDDLE OF THE BELT. HALF OF THE SEAT BELT IS HANGING THERE STILL CONNECTED. THIS IS WERE MY 7 YEAR OLD SITS. I REPORTED THIS TO TOYOTA AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT COVER IT THE COST IS OVER $400.00 AND THE BELT THE GUESS MUST HAVE BEEN STUCK OF GRABBED IN THE DOOR IN THE DOOR AND THAT MAKES IT EVEN MORE DEFECTIVE TO HAVE THE DOOR LATCH CLOSE TO THE BELT. I BELIEVE THE BELT IS DEFECTIVE AS THERE ARE SEVERAL SMALL LINES ON THE OTHER SIDE I HAVE HAD 5 TOYOTA'S AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM! SUN TOYOTA NEW PORT RICHEY FLORIDA.

SUN TOYOTA SAID IT WAS BECASUE THE BELT GOT CAUGHT IN THE DOOR. I HAVE A BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY AND NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE WITH MY PAST 4 TOYOTA. THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE BELT AND WERE THE DOOR CAN CLOSE IN THE BELT. A CHILD CANNOT DO THIS DAMAGE. I AM REQUESTING THEY FIX IT FREE OF CHARGE . THERE ARE ALSO THIN SLICES OF THE STRAP ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TORN BELT.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN GOING DOWNHILL ON CRUISE CONTROL MY COROLLA'S RPM'S GO UP TO 5000 AND INSTEAD OF KEEPING STABLE SPEEDS IT INCREASES THE SPEEDS. I FEEL LIKE I CAN'T CONTROL MY VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I'M NOT SURE IF SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE RE-PROGRAMMED BUT I'VE SEEN SO MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE. I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF A WRECK HAS HAPPENED BECAUSE OF THIS. TOYOTA NEEDS TO BE FORCED TO FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE SERIOUSLY GETS HURT OR DIES.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
SINCE PURCHASED, I HAVE EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMMING ON ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THE "GAS CAP WASNT ON ALL THE WAY". YESTERSAY, MY BRAKE, ABS AND TRAC LIGHTS CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AND THE ONLY TIME THEY CLEARED WAS AFTER A SUDDEN GRID NOISE IN TRANSMISSION. FOLLOWING THIS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND TOYOTA INDICATED THE CHARCOAL CANISTER FOR THE EVAP SYSTEM HAS FAILED. MY VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW AND FROM A DEALERSHIP. I SAW THAT A NUMBER OF MODELS WERE RECALLED IN 2016 FOR A CHARCOAL CANISTER FAIL AND I BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE EITHER WASNT SERVICES PROPERLY OR THIS MODEL SHOULDVE BEEB INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

STEERING
STEERING THE COROLLA IS DIFFICULT AND REQUIRES INTENSE EFFORT. THE ISSUE IS THE CAR WONDERS/SWERVES AND IS THUS DIFFICULT TO KEEP TRACKING CORRECTLY. THIS IS FIRST ELECTRIC POWER STEERING VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED AND PERHAPS IT RESPOND DIFFERENTLY FROM HYDRAULIC STEERING BUT THIS STEERING ISSUE IS VERY DANGEROUS, TAKING YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD EVEN TO SCAN GAUGES WILL HAVE YOU STEERING OFF THE ROAD OR ADJACENT LANE. JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE 1/19 WITH ONLY 70K SO IT'S IN MINT CONDITION AND NO ACCIDENT HISTORY OR EVIDENCE TO BLAME.
