VISIBILITY/WIPER
THIS WILL PROBABLY NOT MAKE THE CUT FOR BIG PROBLEMS, BUT I'M SENDING IT ANYWAY SINCE A GENERAL RUE OR ADVISORY ON DASH REFLECTIVITY MIGHT. THE 2018 COROLLA TACHOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER HAVE A BRIGHTLY CHROMED BEVEL WITH A PARABOLIC CURVE OF ABOUT 1/4 INCH ALL AROUND THE DIAL THAT CAPTURES THE SUN FROM ALMOST ANY ANGLE AND REFLECTS IT BACK INTO THE DRIVER'S EYE. LIKE ANY GOOD PARABOLA. DO YOUNG ENGINEERS NOT KNOW THIS KIND OF BASIC GEOMETRY? DO THEY NOT KNOW WE LOOKED AT THIS IN THE 50'S AND 60'S? AS I WAS DRIVING HOME THURSDAY AND THE SUN WAS MODERATELY LOW AT ABOUT 530 PM, I STARTED NOTICING ABOUT A HALF DOZEN OF THOSE PURPLE YELLOW SUNBLIND SPOTS IN MY VISION. THEY WERE IN VARIOUS STATES OF STRENGTH AND FADE. I DROVE WITH MY HAND BLOCKING THE SUN FOR THE NEXT 15 MINUTES. BECAUSE OF THE SHAPE OF THE CHROMED TRIM--PERFECT FOR THE COLLECTION OF LIGHT--I HAD TO HOLD MY HAND VERY CLOSE TO THE SPEEDOMETER TO BLOCK THE STRONG, FOCUSED REFLECTION OF THE SUN. WAY MORE THAN "GLARE." VERY PERSISTENT REGARDLESS OF SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN DIRECTION.

THERE'S ALSO NOISE AT TIMES WHEN I TURN ON THE AIR CONDITIONER WHICH I CAN'T IDENTIFY. MAYBE, AS IF THERE IS TOO MUCH STRESS ON THE ENGINE. THE CAR ALSO SOMETIMES VIBRATES WHILE DRIVING. IN ADDITION, WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR, THE FRONT TIRE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WAS ALSO ALMOST FLAT, THEREFORE, CAUSING THE CAR TO KEEP PULLING TO ONE SIDE WHILE DRIVING.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN USING THE RADAR CONTROLLED CRUISE CONTROL, THE ENGINE WILL SOMETIMES REV TO OVER 4000 RPM. A TOYOTA FIELD ENGINEER TOLD ME THAT THIS IS ENGINE BRAKING, BUT THIS OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS ON A LEVEL STRETCH OF HIGHWAY AT THE SET SPEED AND NO OTHER UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCES. THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM OCCURS WITH MY WIFE'S 2017 COROLLA. I'VE READ A NUMBER OF COMMENTS ON THE TOYOTA OWNERS WEBSITE (HTTPS://WWW.TOYOTA.COM/OWNERS/COMMUNITY/ASK-AN-OWNER/QUESTION-DETAILS/ID/62752030). SOME HAVE EVEN SAID THEIR CARS SPEED UP WHEN THIS PHENOMENON HAPPENS. THIS HAS HAPPENED CONSISTENTLY EVERY TIME I'VE USED THE CRUISE CONTROL SINCE I TOOK DELIVERY OF THE CAR ON 12/1/2017, AND IT HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES PER TRIP. THE DATE I ENTERED BELOW IN THIS FORM WAS ONLY THE LATEST OCCURRENCE.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM IS DESIGNED SO THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTS WHEN THE SYSTEM IS ENGAGED AND GOING DOWN HILLS. THIS PUTS MUCH MORE WEAR AND TEAR ON BOTH THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. IN ADDITION TO THE DOWN SHIFT THE RPM GOES TO OVER 4000 IN AN ATTEMPT TO SLOW THE CAR. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY AND DRASTICALLY REDUCES GAS MILEAGE, WHICH IS EXACTLY OPPOSITE OF THE ORIGINAL INTENT OF THE CRUISE CONTROL WHICH WAS BETTER GAS MILEAGE AND PEACE OF MIND TO NOT SPEED. THE SPEED DOES GO UP 5 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THIS HAPPENS. BOTTOM LINE IS THE ENGINEERS AND THEIR BOSSES WHO APPROVED THIS SYSTEM ARE ALL IDIOTS AND SHOULD BE FIRED. YOU WOULD ASSUME YOU WOULD GET BETTER GAS MILEAGE WHEN GOING DOWN HILL WHEN THE ENGINE WOULD DISENGAGE BECAUSE YOU WOULD NEED LESS POWER AND NOT MORE TO MAINTAIN A CERTAIN SPEED. I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER THE CRUISE CONTROL IS DESIGNED TO OPERATE BY GEARING DOWN, I TOLD HIM NO MANUFACTURE IS THAT STUPID.HE THEN PROVED ME WRONG BY SHOWING ME THE MANUAL PROVING TOYOTA IS THAT STUPID.I WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED THIS CAR HAD I KNOWN THIS FEATURE WAS DESIGNED IN THIS WAY. WHO KNOWS WHAT OTHER SYSTEMS IN THIS COROLLA ARE DESIGNED IN SUCH A STUPID MANNER. I WILL CERTAINLY NEVER BUY ANOTHER AUTO FROM THIS COMPANY.
