SERVICE BRAKES
TODAY AT APPROXIMATELY 4PM NOV 19, 2019, I PARKED MY CAR IN A PARKING LOT AND TURNED OFF THE MOTOR, PUT IT IN PARK AND WHEN I PULLED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE INTO PLACE THE CAR LUNGED BACKWARD A LITTLE BUT STOPPED AS SOON AS THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ENGAGED. I FILED A REPORT BACK ON OCTOBER 20, 2019, PLEASE REFER TO CASE #11271148. I AM BRINGING THE CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ON SATURDAY, NOV 23, 2019, SO IT CAN BE CHECKED OUT AS TO WHY THE CAR IS JERKING WHEN IN PARK. I WANT TO REGISTER THIS COMPLAINT AS WELL. I JUST PICKED THE CAR UP FROM THE AUTOBODY SHOP FROM THE REPAIRS IT HAD DONE BECAUSE OF THE INCIDENT ON OCT 20, 2019. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ON SUNDAY, OCTOBER 20, 2019, APPROXIMATELY 3:10 PM I GOT INTO MY 2018 TOYOTA COROLLA, THE CAR WAS STATIONARY IN PARK, AND WAS NOT RUNNING ON A FLAT SURFACE. I REALIZED I FORGOT MY WALLET SO I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND LEFT THE DRIVER'S DOOR OPEN. I RETRIEVED MY WALLET WITHIN 1 MINUTE AND WHEN I CAME OUT MY CAR WAS ROLLING SLOWLY ON THE FLAT DRIVEWAY WHERE I PARK EVERY DAY. I TRIED TO GRAB THE DOOR HANDLE TO SEE IF I COULD JUMP IN THE CAR TO STOP IT BUT IT PICKED UP SPEED AND WENT DOWN A SLIGHT INCLINE ACROSS THE YARD. THE DOOR HIT A TREE AND THEN THE CAR LANDED IN BUSHES. MY NEIGHBORS CAME RUNNING OVER BECAUSE THEY SAW THE ENTIRE INCIDENT. I WAS ABLE TO GET INTO THE CAR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND I STARTED THE CAR'S ENGINE SINCE IT WAS NEVER TURNED ON AND DROVE IT OUT OF THE BUSHES BACK ONTO THE FLAT DRIVEWAY. THE CAR ROLLED WHILE THE GEAR WAS IN PARK AND WAS NOT RUNNING. EVERYONE IS NOT SURE WHY THAT WOULD HAPPEN. I'M ASKING TO SEE IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION OR THE GEAR SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR. I CALLED MY INSURANCE THEY FILED A CLAIM BUT STATED IT WAS VERY STRANGE FOR THE CAR TO HAVE ROLLED AND TOLD ME TO FIND OUT IF THERE WAS A RECALL, ALSO THE ADJUSTER SAID IT WAS VERY STRANGE AS WELL FOR THE CAR TO ROLL IN PARK AND NOT RUNNING. THEY SUGGESTED IT MAY BE SOMETHING WITH THE COMPUTER SYSTEM.

ENGINE
MY CAR WAS DRIVING FINE FOR MONTHS, THEN OUT OF NOWHERE IT HAD A FUNNY SMELL INSIDE SO I PULLED OVER AND PARKED IT. WHEN I TRIED TO START IT UP AGAIN I DROVE 1 MINUTE DOWN THE STREET AND SHUT OFF. I WAS TOLD THAT MY ENGINE LOCKED UP BY TOYOTA, BUT IT WAS NOT THEIR FAULT OR MINES. BUT THAT I HAVE TO PAY TO FIX IT. THE CAR IS 2018 LESS THAN 25,000 MILES.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WHEN DARK OUTSIDE AUTO HIGH BEAMS DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. WHEN PASSING A ONCOMING CAR WITH BRIGHTER THAN NORMAL HEADLIGHTS THE AUTO HIGH BEAMS DISENGAGE AND WILL NOT TURN ON FOR A VARYING AMOUNT OF TIME. THIS HAPPENS BOTH ON CITY STREETS, HIGHWAY, AND COUNTRY ROADS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE FACT OF AN INCREASED RISK OF COLLISION DUE TOO REDUCED VISIBILITY. IT ALSO ENHANCES THE RISK OF COLLISION WITH ANIMALS AT NIGHT ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING ON SECLUDED COUNTRY ROADS. WHEN CAR WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA DEALER I WAS GIVEN MULTIPLE EXCUSES ON WHY IT WAS NOT WORKING. THEY KEPT THE CAR OVERNIGHT AND SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. WHEN I SHOWED VIDEOS DEMONSTRATING THE PROBLEM AND SCENARIO OF WHEN IT HAPPENS THEY COULD NOT GIVE AN EXPLANATION ON WHY THEY DID NOT ENGAGE IN VARIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS TRYING TO BACK UP IN AREA WITH A LOT OF YOUNG CHILDREN AROUND. WHEN I PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE AND LOOKED AT THE CAMERA SCREEN, IT HAD COMPLETELY DIED. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET THE SCREEN TO WORK SINCE. IT DOES NOT DO ANY GOOD FOR THE NHTSA TO REQUIRE BACK UP CAMERA SYSTEMS IF THEY FAIL AFTER A FEW MONTHS. THE SAFETY BENEFIT OF REQUIRING A SYSTEM ON 2018 VEHICLES IF THE SYSTEM FAILS COMPLETELY BEFORE THE END OF 2019 IS NOT GOOD.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE 2018 TOYOTA COROLLA CRUISE CONTROL IS DANGEROUS. WHEN CRUISE CONTROL IS ON, GOING DOWN A SLIGHT HILL, THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS BUT THROTTLE DOES NOT REDUCE CAUSING CAR TO INCREASE SPEED 10-15 MPH WITH HIGH RPMS. AT BOTTOM OF INCLINE TRANSMISSION GOES TO HIGHER GEAR AND BRAKES ARE APPLIED VERY HARD CAUSING VEHICLE TO SUDDENLY AND VIOLENTLY SLOWDOWN 15-20 MPH. IN THIS SITUATION IF CRUISE CONTROL IS NOT DISENGAGED THE CAR WILL GO WELL OVER THE SPEED LIMIT AND TO AN UNSAFE SPEED FOR THE ROADWAY. THE BRAKING ACTION IS SO SUDDEN AND VIOLENT IT'S DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND HAS SEVERAL TIMES IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS CAUSED ME TO VERY NEARLY GET REAR ENDED BY A VEHICLE BEHIND ME WHICH WAS NOT ORIGINALLY FOLLOWING TOO CLOSE. AS THE DANGEROUS CRUISE CONTROL STARTS ITS INCREASE IN SPEED THE VEHICLES BEHIND MAY INCREASE THEIR SPEED AND AS THEY ARE INCREASING SPEED MY CAR CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM JAMS ON THE BRAKES AND CAUSE THE FOLLOWING CAR TO COME DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO COLLISION. AS WELL THE OTHER DRIVER HAS ON AT LEAST ONE OCCASIONS BECAME ANGRY STARTED ROAD RAGING THINKING I HAD PURPOSELY BRAKE CHECKED. THE 2018 TOYOTA COROLLA CRUISE CONTROL IS DANGEROUS, COULD CERTAINLY BE DEADLY BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE AND FURTHER IS VIRTUALLY UNUSABLE AS A PURCHASED FEATURE ON ANYTHING BUT A FLAT ROAD. I'VE DRIVEN OVER 20 CARS IN MY LIFE AND AM VERY EXPERIENCED WITH CRUISE CONTROLS IN 6 DIFFERENT MANUFACTURERS CARS. THE CRUISE CONTROL ON MY 2018 TOYOTA COROLLA COULD CAUSE INJURY, LAWSUIT, ROAD RAGE WITH PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. I'VE ALREADY HAD IT TO THE DEALER TWICE AND AM TAKING IT BACK THIS WEEK.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THEY ASKED ME TO COME TO TOYOTA OF DALLAS TO FILL OUT AN "UNINTENDED ACCELERATION" UA REPORT (SEE BELOW). THE TECHNICIAN BECAME VERY ANGRY ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND TOLD ME THAT THE MANUFACTURER CREATED THE CAR THIS WAY. UNDER ALMOST ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, (GOING AROUND A SHARP CURVE, HEAVY TRAFFIC, ANY DOWNHILL OR UPHILL, WEATHER CONDITIONS, OR FOG) WHEN USING THE CRUISE CONTROL THE CAR WILL TRY TO SLOW IT SELF DOWN FROM SET SPEED AT 65 MPH, BY DROPPING INTO A LOWER GEAR, RAMPING UP THE RPM'S TO 5000 FORCING THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE 10 TO 15 MILES OVER THE SET SPEED WHICH WAS SET AT 65 MPH. IN THIS CASE, THE BRAKES WILL NOT STOP THIS ACCELERATION WHILE THE VEHICLE IS AMPING UPWARD. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION IS TO TURN OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL. HIGHWAY DRIVING FROM CARROLLTON, TEXAS TO WACO, TEXAS ON A CLEAR DAY. MY COMPANY HAS A POLICY THAT COMPANY VEHICLES SHOULD NOT EXCEED 70 MPH. IT IS A FIREABLE OFFENCE.

WHEELS
I CAN'T KEEP THE ICE BUILDUP OFF MY BACK TIRES DUE TO A PIECE OF PLASTIC HOLDING IT UP UNDER THE WHEEL WELLS. IT'S WEARING MY TIRES OUT FASTER. I HAVE EVEN PRESSURE WASHED IT AND STILL CAN'T GET THE ICE TO COME OUT! THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE MY WHEEL WELLS TO RUST OUT FASTER BY HOLDING IT UNDER MY WELLS. I HAVE ANOTHER COROLLA AND IT DOESN'T HAVE THAT PLASTIC IN THE FRONT PART OF THE REAR TIES!

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.

IN PAST TOYOTA HAD A RECALL OF REAR PASSENGER SEAT BELTS OF 2.9 MILLION TOYOTA'S. I JUST NOTICED ON MY BRAND NEW TOYOTA COROLLA THAT MY 7 YEAR OLD SPECIAL NEEDS DAUGHTER , IS TORN AND RIPPED. 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 .

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE RPM OF THE CAR JUMPS UPTO 4000 WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SLOW THE CAR ON DOWN HILLS. TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS ARE REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE BUT THERE ARE CASES MANY PEOPLE GOT THEIR CAR FIXED OR EXCHANGED. THIS PROVES THE ISSUE WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL. THE IDEAL INTENT OF USING THE CRUISE CONTROL IS TO SAVE GAS MILEAGE AND EFFORT TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR LONG DISTANCES. I HAVE TO TRAVEL LONG DISTANCES TO WORK ON DAILY BASIS. I FEEL VERY UNCOMFORTABLE AND UNSAFE DRIVING THE CAR ON CRUISE. TOYOTA SHOULD ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM TO SAVE THE TRUST OF THE CUSTOMERS. THIS HAPPENS CONSISTENTLY. I AM TRYING TO CONTACT TOYOTA FOR THE ISSUE. I HOPE TO RECEIVE A POSITIVE RESPONSE.

MY DAUGHTER WAS INVOLVED IN A REAR END COLLISION WITH ANOTHER CAR THAT ABRUPTLY STOPPED TO TURN. SHE WAS ONLY GOING 30 MPH AND HYDO-PLANNED INTO THE CAR AS A RESULT OF THE RAINY CONDITIONS. THERE WAS MINIMAL DAMAGE DONE TO THE VEHICLE THAT SHE HIT BUT HER CAR SUSTAINED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END WHICH CAUSED FRAME DAMAGE. THE FRONT END OF THE CAR WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED BUT NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED DESPITE DIRECT DAMAGE TO COLLIDING INTO THE STOPPED VEHICLE.
