ENGINE
The coolant bypass valve on my 2020 Corolla SE has started to go bad. The repairs are over $700. Apparently, this is a well known and documented issue with not just the Corolla but also the RAV-4 models. No recalls have been issues despite this being a known problem.

The coolant valve in the engine began malfunctioning and leaking next the the battery. I took it to the dealership and they said that this was a common maintenance issue, but it is do to the part being faulty overall. This is a widespread issue with this make and model of the vehicle and the part has not been recalled. Leakage could possibly cause the engine to overheat and the result could be catastrophic.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
Engine maintenance light came on after turning on air conditioner. Vehicle information: warning light came on at 56,800 miles on 2020 Toyota Corolla, no after market modifications to vehicle. I took vehicle to Toyota dealership for diagnostic testing. Conclusion: coolant bypass valve faulty causing leaks (this can cause overheating, stalling, increased emissions, and total engine failure and also allows coolant to leak into and damage surrounding engine components, including a vehicle's electrical system, the complaint relays). Fortunately, I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY when I bought the vehicle new, which covered the repairs. The faulty coolant bypass valve was replaced at the Toyota dealership. Had I not purchased the extended warranty, I would of been out of pocket for said repairs.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
My car is at around 42,000 miles and has had an engine maintenance light on. I take it in and it’s a defective coolant bypass valve issue. The dealership tried to charge me 800 dollars to replace it. It’s an apparent fault on their part since it has been an apparent problem with other toyota corollas with a lawsuit already filed.

I contacted my local Toyota dealership a couple months ago about air bag recall situation and they’ve told me the parts are not ready yet. Then I called just a couple days ago and they said that the wait time will be next year in 2025 about march or may and I asked the person working there if I would to get in a crash and the air bags don’t deploy what would I be able to do and they said you can sue Toyota. I just think next year by March or May is along time especially if I have my wife in the car too.

Coolant Bypass Valve seems to have an issue at 60k miles which seems to happen to many people at mileage even lower than mine sometimes! My dad had this issue on his 2021 Corolla at 50k miles.

"Engine Maintenance Required See Dealer" Message on Dash Display Engine Coolant Bypass Valve I see this incident repeated for the recent Corolla SE and RAV 4 multiple times with no recall/resolution other than Toyota customers should be prepared to spend close to $750 to fix and replace this part that only takes about 20 minutes to be replaced. This is not new to Toyota. This a rip off. A lot money was paid for the car. Went to dealer less than a year ago and purchased a 2020 SE with a $23,323 price tag. Including dealer fees, finance charges and extended warranties the total price comes to $39,000+. I feel cheated as a customer. A practically new car comes with a defective part and it is not covered by warranty?? Come on. I've trusted and recommended Toyota for years. Do you no longer stand by your company name? Need a better resolution. Please.

I have a recall on my vehicle which there's no remedy for it yet. My California registration was due and I wasn't able to complete my renewal until I had my recall certificate saying it was fixed. Now I'm unable to drive my vehicle in feared to be ticketed or being towed. Toyota needs to do better why am I paying for a car I can't drive. Please help!!!!!

"Engine Maintenance Required" sign came on, I took it to the dealership and was told it was the coolant bypass valve and it would be $800. Upon doing some research is see that this is a very common issue for 2020 Toyota Corollas. My car is still under 60,0000 so I'm surprised I need work this experience done already
