SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
LANE DEPARTURE ALERT & PRE COLLISION SYSTEM MALFUNCTION WARNING LIGHT KEEP ILLUMINATING ON THE DASHBOARD FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME AND THEN WILL TURN OFF AGAIN WITHOUT WARNING. THIS IS ALSO AFFECTING THE CRUISE CONTROL AND THE ABS SYSTEM. I NOTICED THAT IT AFFECTS WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE TRANSMISSION WHEN I AM COMING TO A STOP THE CAR WILL SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY AND ACT LIKE IT IS OUT OF GEAR. ALMOST LIKE IT IS POSSESSED. IT'S BEEN DOING IT ON AND OFF SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY WILL FIX IT TEMPORARILY AND THEN SEVERAL MONTHS LATER IT ALWAYS COMES BACK. THIS PAST TIME HAS BEEN THE WORST AS IT SEEMS LIKE THERE ARE MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS THAT ARE BEING AFFECTED AND IT IS ACTUALLY AFFECTING THE STEERING AS WELL AS THE BREAKING AND EFFICIENT RUNNING OF THE VEHICLE .

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED, IF IT HITS A LEVEL OR DOWN HILL IT APPEARS TO DOWN SHIFT, BUT CONTINUE TO SPEED UP. IT SHOULD JUST REDUCE THE FUEL TO SLOW DOWN. THIS APPEARS TO BE A PROGRAM PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS. IT WAS BOUGHT USED FROM A TOYOTA DEALER. I HAVE NOT ASKED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT YET.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WE BOUGHT THE CAR ON 07-29-19 AND ON 08-04-19 WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM MARYLAND THE CAR SENSOR LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING AFTER ONLY 250 MILES ON THE CAR. THE FLASHING LIGHTS WERE FOR BRAKES AND PARKING BRAKE, LANE DEPARTURE AND ASSIST, BACK UP AND FRONT CAMERA, CHECK ENGINE, TIRE PRESSURE, HEAD LIGHTS, AND RSA MALFUNCTIONS. BASICALLY THE ENTIRE SAFETY SYSTEM OF THE CAR MALFUNCTIONED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THIS HAPPENED ON FIVE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING IT. 7-29-19, 8-2, 5, 9-19 AND THE CAR WAS IN MOTION EACH TIME WHILE ON A HIGHWAY. I HAD IT TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY ARE STILL WORKING ON IT. THE FIRST TIME THEY SAID THE CAR NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED AND THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THE SECOND TIME THE SERVICE MANAGER IS CLAIMING IT IS A WIRE WHICH I FIND IT DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE SINCE THERE ARE MULTIPLE CODES AND I DON'T THINK THEY ALL GO THROUGH ONE WIRE. OUR FAMILY DOES NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING THE CAR WHEN ALL OF THESE LIGHTS ARE FLASHING AND NOT KNOWING IF THE CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE AND IF THE SAFETY FEATURES IN THE CAR WILL OPERATE PROPERLY. I HAVE VIDEO AND PICTURES OF THE CODES THAT WERE FLASHING IF NEEDED. I COULD NOT UPLOAD THEM DUE TO THE SIZE OF THE FILES.

POWER TRAIN
I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL FROM TOYOTA - REFERENCE ID JSD. THE NOTICE STATED THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH PROGRAMMING WITHIN THE ECU THAT COULD POTENTIALLY LEAD TO ISSUES WITH THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION THAT WOULD CAUSE THE TRANSMISSION TO NOT WORK PROPERLY AND WOULD ALSO CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO LOSE SPEED. SHORTLY AFTER RECEIVING THE NOTICE I EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH MY CAR'S TRANSMISSION WHILE DRIVING AROUND SPEEDS OF 35-40 MPH. AROUND THESE SPEEDS, TRANSMISSION WOULD RANDOMLY DOWNSHIFT TO A LOW GEAR AND WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY POWER TO ENGINE. NOTHING COULD BE DONE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE WHILE DRIVING - ANY ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE WOULD JUST REV THE ENGINE TO HIGH RPM - AND I WOULD HAVE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND COMPLETELY STOP THE CAR BEFORE THE CAR WOULD CORRECTLY DRIVE. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES THAT MORNING. THESE FIRST EXPERIENCES OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS. I CALLED TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO BRING CAR IN FOR SERVICE UNDER THE RECALL NOTICE THE SAME MORNING. WHILE DRIVING TO THE DEALERSHIP ON THE HIGHWAY I EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUES. TOYOTA CALLED ME LATER THAT DAY ASKING IF I HAD EXPERIENCED ANY ISSUES, AND I TOLD THEM ABOUT THE EXPERIENCES I HAD THAT MORNING WHILE DRIVING TO WORK AND WHILE DRIVING TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. LATER IN THE MONTH THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE ISSUES WERE UNRELATED TO THE RECALL AND THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED ON ITS OWN SO NOTHING WAS COVERED. NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH, AND THERE WERE NO PRIOR WARNING SIGNS OF ANY ISSUES TO ALERT ME THAT SOMETHING MAY BE WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN I TURN ON THE FOG LIGHTS TO THE CAR I STARTED SMELLING A ELECTRICAL SMELL. STOPPED MY CAR AND SAW THE FRONT LEFT OF MY CAR ON FIRE AND SAW THE FOG LIGHT SMOKING. MY FIG LIGHT SWITCH IS ALSO IN THE WIPER CONTROL THAT WAS BEING RECALLED ON OTHER COROLLAS AND DONT KNOW IF THAT HAS AN EFFECT WITH THE WIPER CONTROL SHORTING OUT. I PUT OUT FIRE AND TURNED OFF FOG LAMPS AND NO PROBLEM. BUT WHEN I TURN FOG LAMP ON I HAVE THE PROBLEM WHERE IT STARTS TO SMOKE THERE. *TR*JB

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
EVEN ON SMALL HILLS IF THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ENGAGED, THE MOTOR WILL RACE TO 4000 RPMS WHILE THE CAR WILL TRY TO MAINTAIN SET SPEED (OFTEN GOES 3-4 MPH HIGHER). AS THE ROAD LEVELS, THE MOTOR WILL DROP DOWN TO NORMAL RPM'S. I ASKED THE TECH AT TOYOTA AND WAS TOLD HER HUSBAND'S COROLLA DOES THIS TOO. ACTED LIKE IT IS NORNAL.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY WIFE WAS PULLING AROUND OUR CUL-DU-SAC TO GO TO THE STORE, WHEN HER 2016 TOYOTA COROLLA SPORT ACCELERATED OUT-OF-CONTROL. SHE WAS ABLE TO GET IT BACK TO OUR DRIVEWAY AND INTO THE GARAGE BY PUTTING HEAVY PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE. THE ENGINE WAS CONTINUING TO REV AT A VERY HIGH SPEED. HAVE CALL INTO TOYOTA DEALER, BUT DO WANT TO DRIVE IT FOR SAFETY REASONS. I JUS STARTED IT IN PARK, AND IT IMMEDIATELY REVVED TO OVER 4000 RPM.

SERVICE BRAKES
PURCHASED CAR USED (7000 MILES) FROM TOYOTA DEALER IN ACTON, MA. TOOK IN FOR CHECKUP EVERY 5000 MILES UNTIL 35,000 MILES. AT 38,000 MILES, TOOK OFF FRONT WHEELS TO CHECK BRAKES AND FOUND THAT THE INSIDE OF BOTH ROTORS WERE TERRIFICALLY GROOVED AND THE PADS THE SAME, WHILE THE OUTSIDE OF THE ROTORS WAS GOOD AND THE OUTSIDE PADS HARDLY USED. THE BRAKE CALIPERS ON BOTH SIDES WERE FROZEN. I REPLACED EVERYTHING AND SHOWED THE DEALERSHIP MY PICTURES. THEY SAID THEY WOULD TALK TO THEIR STAFF AND OFFERED NO HELP, SO I PAID FOR EVERYTHING. THIS WAS UNSAFE AND OBVIOUSLY MISSED MULTIPLE TIMES ON THE "160-POINT INSPECTION"! IT LOOKED LIKE A PROBLEM FROM WHEN THE CAR WAS NEW AND FIRST USED AS A RENTAL BY THE DEALER. THE BRAKES MADE LITTLE EXTRA SOUND(BUT THE SCRAPING WOULD HAVE BEEN UNDER THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT) AND THE BRAKES STOPPED THE CAR OKAY WITH JUST A LITTLE EXTRA PRESSURE---I THOUGHT IT WAS NORMAL FOR THIS CAR.
