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.

POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE IS AN LE ECO MODEL WITH CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT). ENGINE RPM WILL SUDDENLY FLARE...OFTEN CLOSE TO REDLINE WITH THROTTLE IN STEADY CRUISE POSITION, REGARDLESS OF ENGINE OPERATING AND AMBIENT TEMPERATURE. VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE (SLUGGISH). IT IS SUBJECT TO A DEALER CAMPAIGN, BUT DEALER CLAIMS AN INTERNAL FAILURE AND IS BEING HIGHLY AMBIGUOUS ABOUT THE ACTUAL FAILURE. THEY SIMPLY WANT TO INSTALL A $5,000+ REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND SEEMS TO HAVE A MIND OF ITS OWN. IT IS WORSE NOW SINCE THE DEALER LOOKED AT IT. TOYOTA AND THE DEALER WILL NOT HELP THE CUSTOMER (ME) IN ANY WAY AND CLAIM THAT THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS KNOWN WITH THIS TRANSMISSION, AN ASSERTION THAT IS NOT SUPPORTED BY THE SCOPE OF INTERNET POSTINGS THAT CAN READILY BE LOCATED.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT WENT OUT AT 48,000 MILES. THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT IS SEALED WHICH DOES NOT ALLOW FOR BULB REPLACEMENT. YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. EVERY OTHER BULB IN THE ASSEMBLY CAN BE REPLACED. WILL WE BEGIN SEEING VEHICLES WITH NO HEADLIGHTS DUE TO THE PROHIBITIVE COST AND NO OPTION FOR BULB REPLACEMENT.

2015 TOYOTA COROLLA ACCELERATED ON IT;S OWN WHEN SLOWING DOWN ON BRAKE TO TURN INTO MY DRIVEWAY.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
COMPUTER IS SENDING FALSE CODES. CAR WON'T ACCELERATE FROM A STOP THEN EVENTUALLY STARTS MOVING VERY SLOWLY. UNHOOKING THE BATTERY THEN HOOKING IT BACK UP DOES A HARD RESET ON THE COMPUTER WHICH MAKES THE CAR WORK PROPERLY FOR A DAY OR SO THEN IT DOES IT AGAIN. WAS TOLD BY MECHANIC THE COMPUTER DOESN'T KNOW WHAT GEAR THE CAR IS IN.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I NOTICE THAT THE TRANSMISSION STARTS SKIDDING DOESN'T RESPOND QUICKLY THE WAY IT SHOULD WHEN I'M STARTING TO MOVE THE CAR. IT STAYS IN BLANK. AND I HAVE TO TRY TO INCREASE VERY SLOWLY THE CAR AND PICK UP MILEAGE FOR IT TO GO AWAY. IN THE HIGHWAY IF THERE ARE CARS STOPPING I HA E TO STOP. IF I SEE THROUGH MY REAR WINDOW THAT A CAR IS COMING FAST FROM BEHIND AND I WANT TO MOVE TO AVOID TO GET HIT FORM BEHIND MY CAR WILL MOVE SOMETHING BUT NOT AS FAST ENOUGH TO AVOID GETTING HIT BECAUSE IT STAYS IN BLANK. LIKE SKIDDING. I BELIEVEL THIS COULD BE HAZARDOUS TO ME AND MY FAMILY BECAUSE IF I FIND MYSELF IN A SITUATION THAT I HAVE TO MOVE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE TO AVOID SOMEONE ON THE ROAD TO HIT ME I WON'T BE ABLE TO MOVE AS FAST AND CAN BE HIT BY ANOTHER CAR. I LET THE DEALER SERVICE DEPT. KNOW THEY TELL ME THAT I HAVE TO WAIT FOR A RECALL. I'M VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS SITUATION. THE DEALER TOLD ME ABOUT A CODE THAT TOYOTA HAS TO WORK ON IT TO FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS COMPUTERIZED. I ASKED IF THE DEALER NOTIFIED THE PROBLEM TO TOYOTA. THEY SAID NO. MY QUESTION IS WHEN SIL I HAVE THIS PROBLEM SOLVED? THIS IS HAPPENING EVERY DAY. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS FOR THE DRIVER AND THE PASSENGERS IN THE CAR, (MY FAMILY). THANK YOU FOR TAKING THIS SITUATION INTO CONSIDERATION. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN FEBRUARY. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT SOON A RECALL WOULD COME OUT AND THEY WOULD LET ME KNOW. I'M STILL WAITING.
